“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!”
“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.”
“Viktoryia and her husband were amazing with my baby! Took such good care of her and sent me lots of pictures to feel comfortable! Will definitely have them watch Sophie again when I leave town!”
“Fran is my go to cat sitter and every experience has been great. She is reliable, trustworthy and incredible caring. I never worry when I’m away because I know she will take great care of Carlisle.From feeding to administering medication Fran handles everything with ease and professionalism. I can’t recommend her enough : )”
“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”
“Yeini watched my dogs for the first time. She made sure to update me multiple times through the day. I am super happy with her services. My 2 malteses looked happy when I picked them up!”
“Lori and Jim has been an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my fur baby! From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and know how to care for them. They were punctual, communicative, and sent daily updates with photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. My pet adored them- Zoey looked so happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up. Highly recommend Lori & Jim to anyone for a reliable and loving care for their pets!”
“Cindy and Steve are very nice and accommodating, and have a great environment for your dog! They sent us a picture every day, which helped us not miss our dog quite as much. The next time I need doggy boarding, I will look for Cindy and Steve first.”
“The best sitters I’ve ever experienced!! They sent pictures and videos of our little pup multiple times a day, he was constantly getting exercise during his visit, and they even taught him “paw”! We can tell our pup had a great time with them and on top of that they were very communicative and flexible. Cannot say enough good things! 🫶”
“Thelma is the best. Beatrice does well in a home setting, feels safe, and doesn't come home stressed. I trust Thelma -- she treats Bea like one of her own. Highly recommend.”
“Audrey and Karson took very good care of Rebel and Freya. They kept us informed and answered our calls on a short notice booking. Would highly recommend and will use them again.”
“Elisa was wonderful! Astro loves her! She sent me updates and pictures from their activities. When I went to pick Astro up he walked around the house as of it was his home. Elisa has an amazing love for dogs and treats them with such great care. I travel a lot and will be using Elisa's services on a regular basis.”
About: I have trained my dogs since I was fourteen and have a love for pets. I don't work and live in a home with a large backyard so your pets will have my full attention. I have two friendly loving dogs I take care of who would love to have extra friends to play with. :) Sorry but no pit bulls or aggressive breeds will be accepted. Thank you for your understanding. I stay at home but of course may go out for groceries or a small amount of time to the gym. My doggies are well taken care of and spoiled and would love some furry friends to play with. My backyard provides a good area for bathroom breaks and is cleaned on a regular basis. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed and are an integral part of my daily life and routine. They are very loved and they know it! :) Bathroom breaks are frequent as I keep an eye on their needs and the water bowls are always clean and available for them.
“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 ?!!”

About: Hi, my name is Arielle :) I work from Home, we have a single family house with a fenced in yard. I have professional pet sitting experience for a company that services Pinellas County but I moved to Sarasota. Since working for a Professional Pinellas County pet sitting company named Calling All Dogs, I developed a deep love for this type of work and am now available for full time sitting and care as a professional independent contractor. My personal/family experience with dogs and cats has been my entire life. We've had dogs and cats in my family since I was born; basically every member of my extended family even had dogs and cats. Our pack was always consisting of strays and adoptees, some of whom came with medications and emotional issues, and so I am comfortable taking care of pets with medical and psychological conditions. I believe I stand out from other sitters and groomers because I really have a passion to develop a friendship and connection to the pets I care for. I know we as the parents of these guys call upon pet specialists in times of need and I am very happy to give lots of love and comfort to your babies while they are in my care. Communication is very important to me as I know it is crucial to you- I would be the same way and completely understand! So I make it a point to respond to messages or phone calls ASAP. If you have any questions, I'm open! Happy to hear from you! - Arielle :)
“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.”
“Thank you Audrey and Carson!! I know Mia had the best day (she’s currently out cold on the couch) It was a super last minute reservation and they were more than accommodating and answered very quickly. Thank you too!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have always had a doggie companion. I have been dog sitting now for more than seven years and love it! I take pride in welcoming your fur babies into my home as another member of the family. I have two Maltese boys that love to play with other furry friends as well. I welcome your doggy into our home and do our best to make sure they are loved, played with, and well-cared for. I also welcome any questions! I work from home and am available all day to take the babies out for walks, make sure they get plenty of love and attention. Many will curl up in my lap to nap while I work. At night, we have plenty of doggy beds and one large human one where all are welcome to join. My home is located in a safe and gated community. Moreover, I have a healthcare background and am attentive to doggy nutrition, activity, and overall health. I have experience in caring for older pups, and pups with special medication schedules.
“Nicholas is our new favorite sitter! His relaxing easy going personality is a perfect fit for our two pups. I tell them on the way there that they are going to spend the day AT THE GREAT BIG YARD! So much room for activities! So many sniffs and smells and sights and yard to check out. Then, especially since it's summer, plenty of snoozing on the couch or cool tiles. Nicholas has been agreeable with some time changes and is super responsive when I have a question. We're new to Rover and will likely not look any further for a sitter now that we've found Nicholas and The Great Big Yard! Thank you, Nicholas!”

About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

“I had the pleasure of teaching both Jose and Alexis when they were students of mine and they were excellent in the classroom so it’s no surprise that that excellence and professionalism transfers over to their dog walking. It gives me immense pleasure to say that they are by far the most professional dog walkers I’ve come across. They communicated about Luna, took tons of pictures, made sure she had a great time AND got a nice long walk in and showed her lots of love. I wholeheartedly recommend both Jose and Alexis for your dog walking needs. They are exceptional.”

“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!”

My pet adored them- Zoey looked so happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up. Highly recommend Lori & Jim to anyone for a reliable and loving care for their pets!”
“Cindy and Steve are very nice and accommodating, and have a great environment for your dog! They sent us a picture every day, which helped us not miss our dog quite as much. The next time I need doggy boarding, I will look for Cindy and Steve first.”
“The best sitters I’ve ever experienced!! They sent pictures and videos of our little pup multiple times a day, he was constantly getting exercise during his visit, and they even taught him “paw”! We can tell our pup had a great time with them and on top of that they were very communicative and flexible. Cannot say enough good things! 🫶”
“Audrey and Karson took very good care of Rebel and Freya. They kept us informed and answered our calls on a short notice booking. Would highly recommend and will 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 ?!!”
“Excellent boarding experience. Marlena was great with my dog who can be a bit much for some. Her stay was over Christmas and Marlena sent me plenty of videos and photos of my baby dressed in sweaters and hats opening presents. 10/10 would book again.”
“Leslie watched our sweet Remi girl who was only 13 weeks old. She hadn’t had all of her shots yet, so we were nervous to board her publicly. Taking her to Leslie, she was able to socialize with not just her two dogs but with tortoises, a parrot, and chickens! Our puppy also discovered that she loves swimming Leslie allowed her to swim in their pool. It felt like Remi was welcomed into a family and not boarded up all weekend! Thank you Leslie!”
“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.”
“This was my second time leaving Yogi with Asya. She communicated well, sends awesome photos, and it looks like Yogi has a great time! I will continue to ask them to take care of Yogi when I'm away.”
“Dr Hope and Scott are amazing dog loving people. I did not ask for walks because they have a great backyard and it is huge to let my dogs get the exercise they need for the 4 days. They are happy to be home but they enjoyed their time there. This won’t be the last time we will book with her.”
“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”
“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!!!!!!!”
“I just picked up my dog Oliver. He came home happy and tired. It was the first time I’ve ever left him, but I felt so comfortable with Donna and Michael that I knew he would be in good hands. Will definitely book with them again.”
“Dawn is great! I always love leaving Dudley in her hands. He has a blast, she sends lots of pictures, and he comes home so tuckered out that he sleeps for a good two days. She's very helpful and insightful with any questions that I have. I keep using her because she's the best!”
