“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“Michelle is wonderful. My dogs were very well cared for during their stay with her. She is a great communicator and a very caring sitter. My dogs and I look forward to benefiting from her generosity in the future.”
“As, usual, Stephanie and Elizabeth did a great job. They sent pictures and kept in contact. I just love that Toby is always smiling in his pictures. Thank you girls, so much. Until next time…🥰💕”
“We were nervous about boarding our dog the first time (mainly my wife) and Lisbeth was an absolutely fabulous person to trust our puppy with! She is a professional, caring, and responsible "sitter" and we will be lucky if she is available the next time we need her. Yes this is a lot of praise, but it's for good reason. Thank you!”
“Eve gave me a lot of confidence at our meet and greet that she is a responsible long-time dog parent. As a boarder, Eve was communicative and caring, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very attentive and available. Eve was around most days to spend with my dog, this was the situation my dog really needs. Eve was sitting for my dog during a snowstorm and the bad ice storm and sent me updates about this, as well. She even gave my dog an oatmeal bath, which was above and beyond. When I came to pick up Sweetheart, it was clear they had really bonded. She didn't want to get in the car! Will book again.”
About: Hi! I’m Allyson, dog mom to Woody and Birdie. 🐾 We absolutely love having dogs come stay and spend time with us in our home! My yard is fully fenced as safety is a priority for me. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I’m a lifelong dog lover and formerly worked as a veterinary assistant, giving me lots of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Our home also has a pool, and I spend a good amount of time each day exercising my own dogs in it. If your dog already loves to swim, they’re welcome to enjoy some pool time too! And if you’d like me to help teach your dog how to swim safely, I’d be happy to work with them at their own pace. I was previously on Rover and am so happy to be back! I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about who is caring for your dog, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have. I’d love to meet you and your pup soon! 🐶❤️ I'm Allyson, dog mom to Woody and Birdie. We absolutely love having dogs come stay and spend time with us in our home!

They will never be left outside unattended. Safety is extremely important to me, and I take it very seriously. In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, my veterinarian is conveniently located just ½ mile from my home and has a 24-hour emergency hospital attached to the practice, so your pup can receive immediate care if needed. Before your dog’s stay, please let me know if they have ever experienced any health concerns, medical conditions, allergies, injuries, or other issues that I should be aware of. Knowing their history helps me provide the safest and most comfortable care possible. ❤️🐾
“This is the first time we have boarded Rosie through Rover and we couldn’t have picked a better person. We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands and getting updates about how she was doing. Definitely recommend!!”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“I needed a sitter on short notice and Kym and Glen were happy to help. Their backyard is amazing and was a perfect place for Olive and the other pups to play. Olive immediately warmed up to Glen when I dropped her off, and I swear she seemed like she didn’t want to leave when I came to get her!! She came home with a new bandana and some cookies, which was such an unexpected and sweet gesture. I will definitely be using Kym and Glen again in the future!!”
“Ali is amazing! She has dog sat for my two pups twice when I’ve gone on long week vacations that happen to be out of the country. I trust her to keep my dogs safe and that they will get lots of love during their stay. My one dog is a little anxious around other people but has taken to Ali and her family so well, can we say dog whisperers? It’s so comforting to know my dogs are in the best care and I feel fortunate to have found Ali on Rover. She’s a great communicator, organized, responsible, and goes above and beyond for her clients. Thank you Ali!”
“Olga boarded Zachary for three weeks while we were on vacation. During that time, Zachary was treated like a member of her loving family. Olga sent regular videos and pictures of Zachary playing tag with her dog, along with a cute picture of him with her cat. When we returned, Zachary was well fed, happy, and healthy. Olga did some training during his stay with her and gave him a bath and a comb-out. I have no hesitation in recommending Olga for training or boarding. She is excellent!”
“Huge thank you to Viktoryia for hosting my anxious little terrier while I was on a business trip. Her dog, Coco, took my dog under her wing. My dog had the run of the house which was wonderful as she insists on snuggling with her humans on couches / beds or wherever they happen to be. Thank you, Viktoryia!”
“Our boy seemed very happy when we picked him up. Hope sent pictures throughout his stay and kept us updated. We had never left him with anyone besides family and close friends. We will definitely book with Hope again in the future.”
“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Elisa is amazing. I was so nervous leaving Emjay for so many days and with a stranger to boot. I highly recommend. Super sweet. Clean house. Gated area. Just perfect.”
“Donna and Mike are great. They truly love taking care of your furry family members and share videos or pictures while you are away. Our Moxi always comes home tuckered our from playing with other friends while there.”
“Felicia was wonderful with our girl, Josie, we would highly recommend and will take her back on our next trip. When she she moped after we left, Felicia worked with her to make her feel at home. This took a lot of extra time and loving which was freely given. Lots of healthy treats, brushing and long walks got her tail wagging and happy. We got lots of pictures and updates I could see how happy and content Josie was. So leave your furry friend there and know you’ll get care and attention and not have to worry. Her years of experience and compassion shows, this isn’t just a part time job for extra money, she enjoys it!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 4 years old and have been dog sitting for the past 10 years. I currently have two dogs of my own, ages 1 and 3, and I recently cared for my senior dog through age 15. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I work from home, so I’m able to be with the dogs throughout the day and provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. My dogs can be separated from visiting dogs if that is preferred or if your dog is more comfortable having their own space. I’m also comfortable giving medications and following special care instructions. As a longtime dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your dog. My goal is for you to be able to leave knowing your dog is safe, loved, and well cared for. I work from home, so I’m able to be with your dog throughout the day and give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship. I can easily follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication and sleep schedule so their routine stays as familiar as possible while you’re away I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get outside throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own, ages 1 and 3, but they can be completely separated from visiting dogs if needed or preferred.

My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable and at home while they’re in my care.
“Savannah was so great with my dog, Harley! She sent pictures, took him on walks, and even took him to the beach! Needless to say, I’m sure Harley didn’t want to leave ☺️ I would highly recommend her services if you want a trustworthy sitter who will go out of her way to make your pup happy and comfortable!”
“Linda and Brian have the sweetest dog and my dog just loved them all. He normally is very anxious but he even fell asleep beside Brian and his cute new friend Carmi! I would highly recommend this place!”

“Jennifer was great! She was able to come spend time with our 2 cats Buddy and Howard when our other rover sitter could not come last minute. She took great care of them and her son was also great playing with them and making sure they did not get lonely while we were away. I will definitely be requesting her again as a sitter. I would recommend her !”
About: I have taken care of animals of every kind since I was a little girl. I have been trusted to care for many of my friends, neighbors, and families pets. I currently have two sweet dogs and a loving cat I’m currently an online Master’s student, so my schedule is very flexible and open. I’m looking forward to caring for pets during my study breaks! I am a very hands-on pet caretaker. I like to make sure each animal I meet feels loved and special! I have a knack for building trust with animals (I think it’s my patience and warm nature that’s the key)!
“Melanie is awesome. She truly cares about my babies and takes such great care of them while I’m out of town. I don’t have to stress because she is very reliable and trustworthy. Thank you Melanie!”
“I am extremely happy with the way Megan took care of my cat Reese while I was away. She wrote detailed messages daily and shared photos of them spending time together. I can tell Reese absolutely loved being with her! As a result, I was able to enjoy a stress free vacation knowing he was in such kind and capable hands. Megan will definitely be my choice for a pet sitter again!”
“Stephanie & Elizabeth are the best pet sitters! My cat is very comfortable with them. They are great communicators and are very reliable. I highly recommend them!”
About: I am a retired RN who is currently without any of my own pets to love, so I plan to give my love to yours. I have been a pet sitter for Dogs, Cats, Birds, Rodents and Reptiles. As an RN I have many skills that transfer to pets and I use those on the pets I care for as well. I'm a keen observer and problem solver. I am available to do drop-ins, extended care in your home (with light housekeeping and plant care for additional fee). I am flexible in my schedule and can do long-term (more than 7 days) care if needed. I will be present for as much or as little as your pet requires. I've cared for animals from babies to seniors and can provide the appropriate level of care needed. I have administered injections, pills, topical treatments and wound care to pets. I'm here to care for your furry, feathery, scaly and shelly friends. One Caveat: Walking Dogs who are pullers is not my forte. If you have a large or Medium dog who is used to walking and can be corrected with gentle reminders is fine. I have no schedule limitations at this time. I can be available as little or as much as you need. For short or extended care. The first thing I do is have an in-depth meeting with you about your pet's needs while you are absent. Then I develop a plan based on their typical schedule for waking, feeding, potty, walking, sleeping and medicating. I will attempt to keep as close as possible to their normal routine. I am a gentle corrector unless the behavior or situation is dangerous to them or those around them. I give lots of cuddling and rubs if they want them and respect their need for space too. If they sleep with you, they'll sleep with me. I will follow your directions for their care as closely as possible. Basically, I'll treat them as if they are mine, but love them as if I was you.
“Kaci B, did a wonderful job with my cat Gatto. Kaci got Gatto, out of his shell. He’s usually hiding from strangers, but with Kaci, he was very affectionate. Thank you so much. I appreciate you!”
About: I have owned cats my entire life and have enjoyed every minute with them. I have no issues with cats who may not be the friendliest to strangers, they deserve just as much care as any other pet. Cleaning litter boxes, special instructions for food/medicine, and plenty of play time, are all things that I can do!
About: I’ve raised cats since I can literally remember. I grew up in the country, so there were a lot of barn cats around the property, and I remember just always being drawn to the cats. Nothing has changed as now I have 2 of my own little angel girls being spoiled and running my home. Cats have such unique personalities and their trust means SO much since they are not as easy to win over as dogs.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life — both indoor cats and indoor/outdoor cats when I was growing up on a farm. Over the years, I’ve cared for many cats in all kinds of situations: I’ve raised kittens, looked after mama cats (including a rescued cat who gave birth to a litter), and enjoyed the company of countless feline personalities. I love how every cat is unique, and I’ll make sure yours feels safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they prefer quiet companionship, playful attention, or just someone who respects their independence. Most importantly, I’ll care for your cats as if they were my own.
“Michael was very helpful with my last minute cat sitting needs. He provided short but thorough updates each visit, and my cats definitely appreciated their playtime.”
“I had a Great experience with Cymberly she was awesome. She quickly learned how to give my Stanley his insulin shots and she exuded such joy and confidence in taking care of my boys. I highly recommend.”
“Alexandra did a fantastic job with our two cocker spaniels, including our energetic puppy. She spent quality time playing with them, took them outside, and made sure they got treats and attention. It’s clear she’s very comfortable handling both puppies and active adult dogs. Our 3 year old can be a handful, and she handled both of them with ease. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups. We’d definitely book her again!”
About: I have had fur babies my whole life. I'm mature, dependable, trustworthy, and love pets. I have the time, patience, and energy to give your furry family members the dedicated attention they deserve. I will prioritize their safety, routine and happiness above all else.

“Charlie awas very responsive, and accommodating. His wife took Halo for a walk as soon as we arrived. Charlie sent pictures and updates on Halo. I would definitely recommend them.”
“We left our puppy for the first time with Paul. We were put at ease as he sent us lots of pictures to see how her day was going. Your dog will have great care! We highly recommend him for your dog!”
“Donna and Michael made my anxiety of leaving my precious Luna in day care completely go away. They are such kind caring people that have a great love for fur babies ❤️ I am so thankful to have found them!”
“Sarah and her family were great! She communicated throughout the day and send pictures! Obi was loved and spoiled from the second I dropped him off! Definitely will rebook with Sarah whenever I need daycare or boarding. Thank you Sarah!!”
“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”
“Adela was easy to work with and made our dog, Nala, very comfortable. Nala has separation anxiety and is usually very wound up and hyper when we pick her up from a sitter. This wasn't the case after her time with Adela. She was calm and didn't seem stressed at all. Nala didn't demonstrate any separation anxiety the second day we left her with Adela, which is uncommon for her, even with people she knows and likes.”
“Kym and Glen have been wonderful caring for my dog during my long work hours! It’s clear they truly love animals, and my dog is always excited to see them. They provide a safe, fun environment and keep me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. I highly recommend Them for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“My dog is very timid with new people and except for an hour at the groomer, she had never been left with anyone else. Justin was willing to take her on short notice for an unexpected daycare need two days. Justin helped her feel safe and she came home with her tail wagging.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

Throughout her childhood, she trained her pet dogs in obedience and could often be found learning agility and tricks with them side-by-side! As an adult, this passion lead her to train her rescue dog, Luna, as a service dog after developing an autonomic nervous system dysfunction that took away her safety and freedom. Under the guidance of a service dog trainer, she began learning the basics of training a working dog and found a calling. After apprenticing with a training company and spending much of her free time researching dog body language, training methods and training techniques, she opened Working Wonders K9 with the goal of making service dogs accessible to disabled individuals and helping pet parents train and build a strong relationship with their dogs. She offers knowledgeable pet care as well as training and support in obedience and behavior modification. I currently am attending school full time and have my own dog training business where I help clients train their pets in obedience and provide solutions to problem behaviors. During the day I have plenty of time to devote to pet care and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve! I offer knowledgeable and experienced pet care in the clients home. I have a background in veterinary care and dog training and have devoted many hours to understanding dog’s body language in order to care for them better. I provide on leash walking and oversight in homes and backyards to make sure each pet is taken care of and gets the love and attention they need!
About: Since I can remember as a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & drive to take care of animals and really interact & get to know them. Each has their own personality that are just so fun to explore. From as small as anoles and 3 week old kittens, up to as big as Great Danes & large parrots, I’ve cared for everything and I love getting to know each pet! [small fee for meet & greets past 12 miles (~over 30 minute drive) for fuel, thank you!] Currently, my schedule is free! Looking to try to get into this full time, but anything dealing with animals is my focus! My schedule is very open right now and i’m open to anytimes! I will definitely get to know your pet first, go slow with them and just build a positive, playful rapport with them so they truly get to trust me. Anything you or your pet needs, please let me know and I definitely am so willing to make it happen! I care that your pet is comfortable and happy with me!!
About: Dog owner of 18 years, spend 90% of my time at home watching over my dog and our cat. Currently working towards becoming a dog trainer for K-9’s! Love all animals of all sizes. If they’re shy, that’s ok! If they’re hyper also ok! Will take care of your furry friend until you can come for them. My partner and I live in a home that allows your pet to be on furniture which is cleaned weekly, we understand accidents may happy and that’s just life. I take Great pride when I sit my friends dog, and now I’m looking to expand my home to welcome your best friends.

About: I grew up on a Midwest hobby farm surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and ducks, so animal care has always been second nature to me. Today, I share my life with a 5-year-old Belgian Malinois who was born blind. If you know Malinois, you know they are high-energy, intensely smart working dogs. You would never guess mine is blind! Raising and training him from a puppy required extra focus on safety, clear communication, and non-judgmental use of training tools, including Herm Sprenger collars and e-collars with vibration cues. Through consistency and patience, he now walks comfortably in a gentle harness with rock-solid basic commands, recall, and search skills. I share this because I truly understand that every dog has unique needs, training levels, and reactivity. You will never be judged here. My top priority is keeping everyone safe and comfortable while respecting the tools and routines that work best for your dog. Why work with me? Special Needs & High-Energy Expertise: From tiny companions to large working breeds, blind or special-needs pets, I have the experience and patience to handle them with care. Flexible WFH Schedule: Working from home means I offer consistent supervision, companionship, and routine adherence throughout the day. Safety & Peace of Mind: I prioritize safety above all else, ensuring your dog gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need without unnecessary stress. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that means training, playing, or relaxing together. Most importantly, I will treat your pets with the exact same love, vigilance, and dedication I give my own! Because I work from home, my schedule is very flexible. I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or quiet companionship. I have ample experience caring for pets in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions carefully, keep your home tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Eve gave me a lot of confidence at our meet and greet that she is a responsible long-time dog parent. As a boarder, Eve was communicative and caring, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very attentive and available. Eve was around most days to spend with my dog, this was the situation my dog really needs. Eve was sitting for my dog during a snowstorm and the bad ice storm and sent me updates about this, as well. She even gave my dog an oatmeal bath, which was above and beyond. When I came to pick up Sweetheart, it was clear they had really bonded. She didn't want to get in the car! Will book again.”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“I needed a sitter on short notice and Kym and Glen were happy to help. Their backyard is amazing and was a perfect place for Olive and the other pups to play. Olive immediately warmed up to Glen when I dropped her off, and I swear she seemed like she didn’t want to leave when I came to get her!! She came home with a new bandana and some cookies, which was such an unexpected and sweet gesture. I will definitely be using Kym and Glen again in the future!!”
“Our boy seemed very happy when we picked him up. Hope sent pictures throughout his stay and kept us updated. We had never left him with anyone besides family and close friends. We will definitely book with Hope again in the future.”
“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Donna and Mike are great. They truly love taking care of your furry family members and share videos or pictures while you are away. Our Moxi always comes home tuckered our from playing with other friends while there.”

I wouldn’t hesitate to have her board with them again!”
