“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“Sadie went to Beth’s house for the weekend! She had fun and gets excited when she goes over there. Sadie & Snickers get along well, Beth is a great sitter, communicates and sends pics during her stay!”
“Frances took such great care of my fur babies! I felt 100% confident leaving them with her. They were free to have full reign of the home as if they lived there. They also had a nice big back yard to explore if they wanted. She gave them extra perks like watermelon on a hot day (we talked in advance about treats) and a cooling mat to lie on. Don’t look any further! You’ve found a gem 💎”
“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!”
“Ducky had such a great time while we were away. She was able to accommodate us last minute. I felt super confident with her care. Was worried he would be sad but he had an absolute blast. Would use her care again in future”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
“Cyndee was fantastic! She took great care of Rocket, my dachshund mix, while I was out of town for a weekend trip. She updated us throughout the weekend, and most importantly kept him an extra day after my flight home was cancelled. That definitely took a huge weight off my shoulders. Plus, Rocket had a blast!”
“Sofia says she loves dogs and it shows in her work! She is kind, fun and honors her commitments to the letter! If you're looking for a bright energetic care giver for your dog, be sure to call on Sofia!”
“Riley was happy and well cared for. Abigail provided pictures and regular updates. She showed love and affection towards Riley and asked the right questions about feeding and walks etc. We will definately be using her again!”
“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”
“Wonderful family and took great care of our golden retriever Oliver. Loved getting updates and pictures while we were away. They treated him just like family! Will definitely use them again on our next trip! Thank you!”
“First time for my pup Wyatt with Thelma. He had a great time . Everything about this process was easy and I was able to visit my college son in NY without a worry! Thanks so much to Thelma and her family for taking such loving care of my boy .”
“Our dog had such a wonderful stay with Lori!! She did an awesome job communicating and sending pictures during his stay which alleviated a lot of my anxiety about leaving him with someone new. Thank you Lori and Jim for making Toby feel at home!”
“Yildi was very nice and caring for Juniper. She does have toddlers, but they seemed to know that the animals 'weren't a toy' and I felt safe leaving my pup with her and her husband. She sent photo updates, and let me know how everything was going. Overall a nice experience.”
“Very nice people. They took great care of my fur baby and kept me posted with text messages and pictures while they watched him over a three day period. Highly recommend!”
“Katerina was very patient and accommodating to my cattle dog Kirra even though she can be very high energy and a handful at times. Definitely will be using her again and would recommend to anyone”
“Love Kendal and Dre! They took such amazing care of my pup while we were on vacation. They were so communicative and sent so many pictures and updates. I can tell he had an amazing time, an probably didn’t want to leave when we picked him up :) Amazing couple and we will definitely use them again!”
“Merve took great care of both of our Maltipoos, including our puppy! She was so attentive and they both came back home exhausted annd happy after playing with Merve’s family and her dog. We would highly recommend Merve to care for your pets!!”

“I loved Jen and more importantly my cat did. She is so sweet and was very kind to my Finn. I was out of state for a week and she took great care of Finn like he was her own kitty. I would 100% recommend Jen to take care of your pet.”
“From the moment Amelia met my dogs during our meet-and-greet, it was obvious that she was very comfortable with pets, which was extremely important to me. She was punctual for both the meet-and-greet and every visit, followed all of the instructions, and communicated very well throughout. Most importantly, my dogs were comfortable with her, and I felt they received genuinely kind, attentive, and caring care. I will definitely be using Amelia again for my future pet-sitting needs and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Bailey is simply phenomenal! Communication was excellent, and she left our home nicer than we left it. After a long and sometimes stressful trip, it was wonderful to come back to our home and see that she went the extra mile. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed! Astounding! We will not hesitate to rebook with her.”
“Abby was absolutely amazing!! She took amazing care of our three cats while we were away and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was very communicative, followed all of our instructions, and provided detailed updates that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our cats, and they loved her too! We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“I highly recommend Christina for her exceptional care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My cat was calm and well cared for when I returned. Everything was neat and orderly in my house. She brought all my mail and packages inside as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Rebeca took such good care of Didi that I've already booked her for my next out-of-town trip. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she sent. Didi obviously liked her. Rebeca went over and above what I expected, so I trust her with my feline sidekick.”
About: I have had cats even longer than I have kept dogs. My first cat was adopted for me at 5 years old. I am mindful of cats with quirks and understand many do. Feeding, medicating and litterbox cleaning are no new task to me. I would love to meet your kitties!
About: Hello! I am a reliable and caring pet lover who understands how important it is for owners to know their cats are safe and comfortable while they are away. I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and daily photo updates. I have experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I am responsible, attentive, and committed to providing loving care and peace of mind for pet owners.
About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Making sure they get enough exercise by going on long walks, and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I currently work a few days a week in a resturant,so depending on when you need me, and how long you need me to stay, we can work with anything you need! In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure they’re properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention. Their safety and health is also one of my main priorities. If I feel in any way they are in danger, I will take any necessary actions to make sure they are safe and well.
“Great sitter!! Pleasant. Communicative and personable. Very flexible with her schedule. Always checking in and checking out! — sent a lot of pictures. Highly recommended. Will use her again!”
About: I've owned and trained large and small dogs for more than 20 years. I love meeting and caring for others pets as well as my own! My schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate almost all requests! I only work two days of the week in the office and those can be rotated to fit most schedules. I have two pet parks in my neighborhood and a lot of places to walk and play. I do prefer a more quiet and low energy atmosphere to keep pets calm and happy.
“Jose and Alexis did a very good job watching our cats while we were away. We are happy and our babies are happy too. They are responsible, always on time and I’d recommend them highly!”
About: I am conscientious, non-smoking, loving, caring, and trustworthy professional who understands the dedication and commitment required to look after your fur baby/babies. I have owned pets for more than 20 years and they all have always been spoiled rotten :). Growing up with pets and having my own as well, I became familiar with many pet conditions. If your furry baby has any medical needs I will assist in every way possible to make him/her comfortable. After my fur-baby passed away, I have chosen to fill the void of having a pet by looking after other people’s pets. While you are away, I will literally adopt your pet for the time it is with me and will treat him/her exactly as I would if it were my own. Your baby/babies will have fun with me and my son who loves animals more than anyone I’ve ever met (including critters and reptiles which are his specialty). Your baby/babies can watch TV with with us, sleep in bed or investigate things in and outside the house when out walking. I know that each pet has their own personality and style. I will adapt to exactly what your pet needs. My aim is to make your furry baby happy and provide the attention he or she ever wants and needs! I am a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker. Although I have to leave for house showings from time to time, your fur puppy will not be left home alone the whole time while I am gone. My 18 year old son will walk the pups to make sure they are not alone for long. I live in a townhouse with lots of trails around. I enjoy walking, so frequent nature walks will be a part of the routine. I have a very large back patio the dogs like to go on and absorb the sun. I always follow the same routine you do as I want your baby to feel at home.
About: I have volunteered with animals since I was 10 years old. I have been a cat owner for the past 6 years. I am familiar with medicating difficult kitties. I give my cat allergy medication daily. I have also administered antibiotics and anti anxiety medication. I love animals and I do all that I can to make the miss you a little less while you are away!
About: Recently cared for four cats for two weeks, all with different personalities and ages. Cuddles, no cuddles, hissing, purrs—I enjoy them all. I’ll respect your cat’s routine, earn their trust at their pace, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”

I’m currently working from home and have ability to take care of your dog. I live in townhouse at the safe community and it’s easy to walk here I have my baby - Bichon Frise who is 6 years old. She’s very friendly. My backyard is fenced, but it’s just for small dogs.
About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and bunnies, caretaking has always been second nature to me. As a former teacher, I am now leaning fully into my true passion, and bringing comfort and happiness to pets gives me so much genuine joy. Whether your family member is a high-energy pup, an independent cat, or a gentle senior who needs a patient touch and daily medication, I treat them with the exact same structure, love, and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to keep your furry best friends safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you're away! Because my other part-time commitments total only 6 hours a week, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time to focus entirely on caring for your pets! Here is exactly when I am briefly away each week: Weekday Evenings (2 total): At a gym, I coach a few adult workout classes in the evenings. Sunday Mornings: I teach Sunday school to preschoolers for a brief session. Outside of these short windows, my days are completely open. This minimal schedule allows me to offer highly attentive, consistent care, adapt easily to your pet's normal routine, and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day! Whether welcoming a pet into my home or staying at yours, safety and clear structure are my top priorities. My home is a pet loving environment shared with my friendly dog and two cats. To ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable, I utilize sturdy pet gates to easily separate animals for quiet time or feeding, and I am more than happy to accommodate crating upon request. Because my part-time jobs take up only 6 hours a week, pets in my care receive constant supervision and a highly consistent routine. As a former educator, I am meticulous about following your exact instructions, maintaining strict safety boundaries, and keeping you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, respected, and thoroughly loved.
About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.
“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!”
“Tallie is great! I was comfortable with her immediately. I love the atmosphere at her place, you can tell she loves animals. Tallie sent pics so that I didn't have to worry and Buddy obviously enjoyed himself because he went right to bed when we got him home :) Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I work a full time job. But different hrs. At time just a few. I love to be around animals. To me there are the best thing in this world. They bring so much joy. With there super pure love. I have had cats and dogs before I would bend my back for them. I dont like dogs in cages I enjoy sleeping with then and letting then be free. I would rather have then trained. But if not just bring pads for them I could help with the training. I'm a honest loving person your dogs will love to be with me and my son. I have a big parking lot in the back where they can play freely and I'll walk them in the area
“Brianna was so great with Fin. He had a long traveling car to Sarasota and was exhausted. Lots of new places for him. She was very good with him which was such a relief for me, as I never left him with anyone before.”

I’m currently part time and have a flexible schedule. Lots of my mornings and afternoons are free to take care of your pups needs like meals, medication, play time and walks. Or just to have the company of another! I have a friendly playful dog that can keep them company and play. I enjoy going to the park when the weather allows it so we can get fresh air and exercise. I like to leave the tv on nature channel with relaxing sounds to keep them comfortable if I’m not around. When it seems they are getting board I like to give enrichment toys filled with yummy healthy treats. And I’m the cuddling type if they allow it.

“Highly recommend Crysta’s services! Took great care of my pup! She was punctual, and spent at least 30 minutes with him with his daily walks for the week. I will definitely use her again when I need her services in the future.”
About: I'm the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, a shelter foster volunteer, and a proud cat mom to a very opinionated Siamese named Mimi.

We have a cute cat named Mimi. We are a new happy family. Me and my partner live in a large 2b2b apartment, along with our cat Mimi. We only do cat boarding and one cat at a time:)

“Jewels was wonderful. She did a meet and greet prior to the actual dog walking appointment. That really impressed me. She also faced numerous challenges with my condo complex and access. But she overcame them with no problems. She also kept me informed about everything with my dog. Cant say enough good about her. I highly recommend Jewel.”

“Daelia took such good care of my baby! She was communicative, followed instructions, and sent photos. She even took care of her in the days following her spay surgery. Thank you again!”

“Jose and Alexis are AMAZING. If I could give 10 stars I would. This was my first time using Rover and I have to admit, I was very hesitant to let strangers into my house and more importantly let them be alone with my dog who is a very shy and timid rescue. I expected the worst. Boy oh boy was I wrong. Jose and Alexis were BEYOND accommodating. The first day they came over to start a walk, my dog was terrified and wouldn't approach or leave with them. Jose and Alexis were so communicative about the situation and sat at home for 90+ minutes doing everything they could to get Layla comfortable with them. It worked, above and beyond. The next 2 days, they came by and everything went very smoothly. Lots of pics, videos and communication, before, during and after their walks/runs. It's hard to articulate how great this experience was and we will be enlisting Jose and Alexis' services moving forward for any and all things pet care related. I trust them completely and give them my highest recommendation.”

I have had cat and dogs in my life for over 20 years. My pups are always pampered and treated like family. My perfect day is spent outside walking with my pups and ending the day with couch snuggles. We are a very active household. I have had experience with dogs of all sizes. From 5-130 pounds. I also have personal experience in taking care of multiple dogs — I used to be an owner of 3 dogs on my own! I can assure you, you’re sweet pup or kitty will be treated like the prince or princess they are and get lots of love and walks! I am currently a stay at home mom to one baby girl, so I have plenty of time to provide Rover services to meet you and your fur baby’s needs. Additionally, much of my day revolves around giving my own pups all the activity and love they deserve and will be sure to give that to yours as well! Before booking a service with me, I am always happy to meet in person first and make sure I am a good match for your fur baby. If I am providing services in your home, my goal is to make your fur babies as comfortable as possible and give them as much love and attention as they deserve while their parent is away. I will happily follow your typical routine you have set for them while you are away!
About: I have taken care of pets personally since I was 10 years old. I currently have a cat that I personally medicate daily. My experience watching pets spans from house sitting large dogs to cats. I can walk, feed, and medicate both cats and dogs. Additionally, I have volunteered at both cat and dog shelters throughout my life. I have extensive experience with animals. I make it a point to care for pets as if there owners never left making them feel comfortable and cared for. I do work full time outside of rover which requires me to be gone for working hours. On weekdays I am away no more than 8 hours and on weekends I try to be gone less than 4 hour increments. I dog sit because I love animals. Please contact me if you are okay with these restrictions. Currently I am working during the week but have availability over the weekends and Thursdays! I am flexible depending on how far the location is from my home and job! It is important to keep pets environment clean and safe, so I always make it a point to keep things tidy. I ensure that the home will look exactly like the owner has left it and that their pet is well cared for. In the event of accidents, I have no problem cleaning up the mess and bathing the animal if necessary. Please just leave instructions on how you would like the cleaning and bathing handled!

“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
“Wonderful family and took great care of our golden retriever Oliver. Loved getting updates and pictures while we were away. They treated him just like family! Will definitely use them again on our next trip! Thank you!”
“Our dog had such a wonderful stay with Lori!! She did an awesome job communicating and sending pictures during his stay which alleviated a lot of my anxiety about leaving him with someone new. Thank you Lori and Jim for making Toby feel at home!”
“Katerina was very patient and accommodating to my cattle dog Kirra even though she can be very high energy and a handful at times. Definitely will be using her again and would recommend to anyone”
“Love Kendal and Dre! They took such amazing care of my pup while we were on vacation. They were so communicative and sent so many pictures and updates. I can tell he had an amazing time, an probably didn’t want to leave when we picked him up :) Amazing couple and we will definitely use them again!”
“Tina (and her husband Keith) rock! We received daily videos and pictures of our pup ? while we were gone and she was in constant communication with us even though we were half the world away in Europe. Our pup was fed well, played with, had daily walks and belly rubs. Our travel was made so much easier because she was so caring and thoughtful to make sure we knew just how much she cared! Absolutely would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pup ?!!”
“What a wonderful family, and our sweet dog came back happy, healthy, and unstressed. I will definitely reach out again to have them dog-sit. Karson was so thoughtful to send us pictures showing how she was adjusting, since this was the first time she had ever been left with someone. Thank you!”
“Hope was able to take my dog on short notice after a different sitter cancelled at the last minute. There were lots of dogs for my pup to play with, and lots of space indoors and out for him to move around. She was communicative and provided updates and photos.”
“Nicole and her family were wonderful with my pug and French bulldog! They are a true dog family and Nicole has prior dog experience that was very helpful in terms of gauging behavior, interaction with other dogs, and any individual needs. They gave them lots of playtime as well as breaks/rest, asked good questions, and shared photos & videos. Nicole has a large fenced-in yard that my dogs loved tearing around in. Their family also were able to help on short notice when I had a family emergency out-of-state, which made a huge difference. Thank you SO much for caring for my pups!”
“Team Stephany did a wonderful job boarding Penny! Good feedback daily and I could tell Penny was having a wonderful time with Minnie. Would highly recommend and will hopefully use their services in the future. Thank you!”
“Nick was an amazing host to scout for 10 days. This was my first time boarding a dog so I was not sure what to expect, but Nick went above and beyond to keep me at ease while I was out of the country by sending multiple photo/video updates every day and notes about scouts behavior and integration with the other animals.”
“Lisa, did a fantastic job taking care of our little guy. She provided detailed information to us while we were away and also sent us many pics. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you !!”
“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”
About: I have always loved animals and have been around dogs for as long as I can remember! I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes and personalities and am always willing to adapt to your pet’s specific needs and routine. When caring for your pets, I will dedicate my time to giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I would be happy to take your dog on walks, play with them, or simply keep them company depending on what they enjoy most. I understand that every pet is different, and I will always follow your instructions to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I am also willing to work with last-minute bookings when my schedule allows! When I am in your home, I will treat both your pets and your space with respect. My goal is to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so you can feel comfortable knowing they are safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I will also provide updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing!
