“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”

“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”
“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 💎”

Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”

They kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which meant a lot to me and gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they watch and treat them like their own. Lulu looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. I’m very grateful for the care they gave her and I would absolutely trust them with Lulu again in the future. Highly recommended.”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets!

I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!
“Again I’ve had Marlena watch my pup several times and he has so much fun when he comes home, he sleeps for like 2 days lol That even went to the Farmers Market and took my pup with them and had him in dog carriage and he got all the attention and prob loved it lol”
“Sarah took VERY good care of Dixie while I was away for the weekend. She provided constant updates with photos and video and she and her boys kept Dixie active and engaged. When I picked her up, I had a VERY tired dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would not hesitate to have Sarah take care of Dixie again.”
“Natalya took care of our 18 month maltipoo, Charlee, while we were out of town for the holidays. She was absolutely wonderful with Charlee!

“Came home and found my cats happy and well-fed. House and litterbox were in great shape. When Rebeca came over to return the key, both of my cats ran over to greet her like she was a long-lost friend! I will definitely book her for petsitting services again.”
“My cat is extremely shy with strangers but Jennifer really brought him out of his shell. Now he's friendly with her and let's her pet him. It really gives me piece of mind when I'm out of town knowing my cat likes Jennifer. Thank you!”

“Christina is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely rebook with her again! My pets are a little shy and sometimes standoff-ish but they warmed up to her. She took great care of them! I loved getting to see the photos of my pets throughout the weekend. Christina is wonderful!!”
“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.
“Alexis was amazing! She kept me updated the entire time I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. The last sitter unfortunately left my house a mess, and Alexis had no issue helping clean up after her and making sure everything was taken care of while I was still out of town. I really appreciated her help and kindness. I definitely recommend her!”
“Tina was beyond excellent with dropping in to check on Callie while we werent home for a day and even went above and beyond took her for two walks keep us updated. Thank You sooo much!!”
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: I’ve grown up with dogs, always at least 3 at a time and all sizes and shapes. What else to say… I just love dogs. 😊 I’m working nighttime and ready to take care of your pet every day after 9 am. I can come morning and/or afternoon, once or twice a day. I will come and look around first to make sure it’s clean and I will check the water and the food. Then I will take your pet or a walk and play a bite with his own toys and I’ll have some with me.
“We felt comfortable hiring Bailey immediately upon meeting her. She approached our cats with gentleness and patience. She asked pertinent questions and displayed great listening skills. During the time she cared for Raja and Cassie, she sent lots of pictures and provided immediate updates. Everything about her helped us enjoy our vacation more knowing we could rest easy that our cats were in good, caring hands!”
“Tallie was amazing, would highly recommend!! She took wonderful care of my calico kitty with drop-in visits while I was out of town. Loved all the updates and pictures she sent!! Hurricane Milton hit while I was gone and Tallie made sure to check on Leaf before and after the storm to make sure she was okay and take care of her. She gave me updates on my apartment too and helped with storm prep, she really went above and beyond! So grateful for her help!”
“Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!”
About: I have been fostering kittens through the Humane Society for 5 years, and have lots of love for cats. I have cat sitting experience as well as have had my own cats my whole life. Whether your cat is super independent or a people-lover, I would love to take care of them!
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Abigail and the incredible care she provides for my cat, Carlita. As a nurse, my schedule can be demanding and unpredictable, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing that Abigail is there every single day I’m away. She is not only reliable, but genuinely caring and attentive in a way that goes above and beyond. Abigail treats Carlita like her own, making sure she is well-fed, comfortable, and, most importantly, loved. One of the things I appreciate most is the thoughtful updates she sends—photos and little check-ins that reassure me that Carlita is happy and doing well. Those messages mean the world to me during long shifts. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated. Abigail has truly made a difference in both my life and Carlita’s. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet with genuine kindness and professionalism.”
About: I have owned dogs all my life so I am definitely a dog person. I have a 9yr old male chiweenie named Gizmo and a 2yr old female american bully named Nova who loves to play. I treat all animals like they were my own. Will follow any special request or orders for your fur babies. Looking to provide the services you need for extra cash I need. My schedule is pretty flexible. My days are open in the afternoons for walks and drop ins. So if you are looking for someone who loves dogs and will treat yours right I am the one for you! I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry bundles of joy. I work most mornings, but still provide care before I leave and we can discuss in detail what it is you need or expect from me. I have a fenced in yard so they can have plenty space to run safely if high energy. I never take the dog out without a leash.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Desoto Lakes
“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.”

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 :)
About: What sets me apart is that I am reliable, caring, and very responsible. As a college student-athlete at Hood College, I have strong time management skills and a flexible summer schedule. I am patient with young pets, attentive to senior pets, and always make sure animals feel comfortable, active, and cared for. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages while they are away. I am home from school for the summer and have a very flexible schedule! I only have hockey practice 3 days a week, so I’m available most days and times. I would love to help out!! I provide loving, reliable care for pets in both my home and my client’s home depending on what works best for the family and pet. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and stay comfortable in their normal routine. I am happy to walk dogs, play with them, give medications if needed, clean litter boxes, and provide updates/photos to owners while they are away. I also make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable at all times.
“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: Hey there! I am a Rover veteran, who took a break for a couple years to start my career and human family, but I am back and so happy to be! I am a proud dog momma of a 2 Australian Shepherds. 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!
“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.”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’ve raised puppies—like my sweet girl River, who I had from 8 weeks old to 3 years—I’ve grown to love the rhythm and bond that comes with dogs at every stage of life. What sets me apart is a deep sense of patience, attentiveness, and love that comes from years of hands-on experience. I’m especially comfortable with routines, emotional needs, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, mellow, senior, or somewhere in between, I show up with calm energy, genuine care, and a heart full of love for every pup I meet. I currently work remote so I have the flexibility to go on walks during the afternoon, evening, early morning or whenever they need to go out! I’m currently in an house with no other pets. I have plenty of room for them to hangout and feel safe. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddles and walks.

I am currently working full time at a hospital which consists of 3 days a week. The rest of the week is for taking care of fur babies! I am willing to work with you on the location weather it is my house or yours I will respect all boundaries and rules that are set in place!
“Ashton was so nice and patient with my dog, he is very anxious and not always the friendliest but she did a great job with Apollo, and Apollo seemed to also be very confortable around her, we will continue to use her services as we were very pleased!!!😄”
About: I am currently a student on break for the summer in Sarasota. I am a proud dog mom to a 4 year old bulldog, Azula. I am very good with all dogs of all ages and sizes! I am on break from school, so I am available to for dog walking or drop-ins at any time necessary. This includes weekends and holidays! I am a responsible person and have cared for many dogs in different homes. With clear instructions left, I can provide the above excellent service you want.
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!
“Really great experience. I contacted Tina last minute to help watch Sammy and Bella. Tina helped with my elderly dog and gave her medication. She sent several updates and pictures. Tina was excellent and we appreciate her time and the love she gave to my girls.”
About: I am a lover of all animals, furry, feathered & scaly. Seriously, ALL animals! I’m that lady that will stop to assist a turtle crossing the road. I’ve volunteered to rescue injured birds while at the beach, saved a green anole lizard from a hard freeze, fostered close to a dozen cats til they found their fur-ever homes, rescued a baby red-eared slider turtle the size of a quarter from the middle of the road and raised him to be happy and healthy until he was big and strong enough to be safely returned to the pond. I have no fear of animals. I truly understand and listen to them and know how to read their body language. I often understand animals better than people ☺️ I will always go out of my way for animals. I’m not talking about just wanting to stop and pet every dog or cat I see and give it hugs and kisses…I definitely do! ….but truly doing whatever I can to better their lives. I got my first cat when I was 7 years old, and since then have personally rescued and loved more than 20 kitties, and 2 dogs. I’ve owned and maintained multiple freshwater aquariums. Cared for birds, lizards and snakes. I have experience with dog and cat training, solving behavioral issues, and administering medicine whether it be a pill or injections. I have a very flexible schedule. I host music, bingo, and trivia nights a couple days a week around town. I also work as a stage hand, setting up lighting sound, and sets for concerts and events. Several times a year I work at our local Renaissance festivals. In between all of that and caring for your fur babies, I’m also an artist. I’m not able to board animals in my home unless in very specific circumstances due to the size of my space and the other animals in my home. I have four cats of my own and they’re my life and my whole world, but I will give your fur babies, the same love and attention that I give to my own.
About: I have a lot of energy and love to go on long walks. I can help tire your pup out, or I can take your dog for a casual sniff and pee. I also love playing with cats. I am currently between jobs and have open availability to care for your pets. I can accommodate same day bookings. I look forward to meeting your furry friends. I plan to care for you pets with the same love and affection I show mine. When I am with your family member, they will be my priority.
About: I'd be happy to help take care of your pet. I have lots of experience with many different types of animals. Request a service, and I'll see if I'm available. I can board your dog while you're at work, out of town, or if you just need a break from your dog for awhile. I'm available to walk dogs Tuesday-Thursday, most of the day, from 11am-sunset. I can usually board or house-sit dogs all week, just let me know when it would be. For now, I work from home, so I can take the dog out all throughout the day. I can board small or large dogs in my home. I can take boarded dogs walking and jogging. I have several very large dog crates for dogs.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, which is one of the things that makes me different from other sitters. I’ve had a German Shepherd named Remi, two Australian Shepherds named Sullivan and Sailor, and a Pit Bull named Izzy, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and personalities. Growing up with them taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and loving with every pet. I truly treat every dog like they’re my own and always want them to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Since being out of college and home for the summer, my schedule is very opened and flexible. I am available every day of the week and every time that is needed. I have a fenced in backyard, a spacious home for puppies to run around in and would be more than happy to crate your pet if needed.
“Alexis is the best! Hank looked forward to her visit/walk every morning and wagged with his full body when she arrived. She is reliable, a great communicator, and an obvious dog lover! Hank was happy and tired after his walk every time. She also sends the cutest pics. 😻”
About: I have taken care of pets and been around them since I was 5. My family and friends usually rely on me to watch over their pets when they are gone. I just graduated high school and I’m just looking for something that will keep me busy during summer. I am barely ever busy so my schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced in yard and a VERY friendly dog that will he keep your furry buddy company. I am also able to commute very easily.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!
“Again I’ve had Marlena watch my pup several times and he has so much fun when he comes home, he sleeps for like 2 days lol That even went to the Farmers Market and took my pup with them and had him in dog carriage and he got all the attention and prob loved it lol”
“Sarah took VERY good care of Dixie while I was away for the weekend. She provided constant updates with photos and video and she and her boys kept Dixie active and engaged. When I picked her up, I had a VERY tired dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would not hesitate to have Sarah take care of Dixie again.”
“Audrey and Karson were awesome! They took such great care of our pup while we were away and made sure to send pictures and updates. We would be more than happy to have Boomer stay with them again!!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve raised my own dog since she was 2 months old until she was 12.5 and crossed the rainbow bridge in May of 2026. So I understand every stage from puppy energy to senior comfort. I also grew up with family dogs and have even helped two dogs deliver puppies, giving me hands-on experience with newborns, mama dogs, and special care needs. I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to each dog’s personality and routine. As a bilingual toddler mom with a naturally nurturing style, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Your pet will get kindness, consistency, and the same level of attention I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I’m a full-time single mom, and my son absolutely adores animals—we spend a lot of time outdoors, going for walks, playing, and staying active. Adding your dog to our routine is easy and enjoyable for us. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m already in a rhythm that allows your pet to get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. In my home, pets follow a loving and consistent routine. I provide food twice a day (or according to your dog’s usual schedule), plenty of potty breaks, and a safe, cozy space to rest. My own dog has her own beds and crate, and visiting pets get the same comfort and structure. There’s lots of playtime, outdoor time, and of course plenty of hugs and attention. I make sure every dog feels relaxed, cared for, and included as part of the family. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routine exactly—feeding times, walks, crate use, and any special instructions—so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“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”
“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: 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.
“Meghan is very reliable and trustworthy. My dog is a chihuahua and had not been around big dogs in a home before. She came back without a scratch. I loved the videos Meghan sent and I could tell she enjoyed Lilas visit and Lila was taken care of.”
“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!”
“They took very good care of our two dogs. We were kept updated on how they were doing. The fenced in backyard was great for the dogs as they normally don’t get to run around. Definitely will rebook for future times.”
“My dog stayed with Karlee for 4 nights recently and he had such a great time! She brought him on multiple adventures including the beach and made sure to send many pics and update me daily. I would highly recommend Karlee for dog watching and sitting!”
“There are truly no words to describe how amazing rebecca is — she’s the absolute best of the best! From day one, she’s gone above and beyond in every single way and has genuinely become part of our family. Our dog lights up the second she sees her, and that says it all. She doesn’t just care for our pup — she loves her, spoils her, and treats her like her own. The level of kindness, reliability, and heart she puts into what she does is unmatched. We never worry for a second when our dog is with her because we know she’s getting the same love and attention she gets at home — maybe even more! She sends thoughtful updates, adorable photos, and always pays attention to the little details that make such a difference. People like her are one in a million, and we feel unbelievably lucky to have found her.”
