“John and Gemma were amazing!! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup with them. They sent updates throughout his stay and were very accommodating for his needs. I would definitely book with them again!!!”
“Brian and his family were everything I wished for in taking care of my Lady for 9 days. It was our first time away from each other. Brian sent pictures every day and I could see how happy Lady was. It was such a relief. We will travel more now that Lady has a “second” home. Thank you so much Brian!”
“Matt and Nicole were AMAZING!! My wife and I were nervous since we've never trusted our pup with anyone other than family. They put our mind at ease with plenty of updates and pictures and even a funny video. They were flexible with the pickup time as our flight came in late and overall made this experience as easy as possible for us. It's good knowing we have someone so close if we need someone to watch our pupwhile we're away. Thank you both!”
“Our experience was incredible, Ana took excellent care of our dog, she always sent photos and video of what she was doing, also fifi was a great company for Nico !! Recommended 100%”
“We love Bibiana! My husband and I have used her services multiple times, and we couldn't be happier. She recently watched our dog for two weeks, and the experience was great. We received daily updates, often multiple times a day, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was safe, happy, and well taken care of. We can tell that our dog enjoys revisiting Bibiana. She provides a comfortable home environment, with access to the backyard to play, and she gets treated like part of her family. Very highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Donna is so amazing! Even if she weren’t on my way to work, I would still want to book with her. I was so nervous to take my dog to a sitter and as soon as she walked out of the door to say hello I immediately felt at ease. You can tell she’s a warm person who really puts her heart into what she does. I appreciated how quickly she responded to messages and that she took time to speak with me at the pick-up and even walked her to let her go potty while I loaded the car. I know that’s a long review, but I’m so happy with our pet sitting experience and can’t say enough!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful experience with Penny’s stay! Jacquelyn kept us informed throughout the entire booking and provided regular updates with photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Penny was well cared for, happy, and comfortable. The communication was excellent, and we truly appreciated the attention and care she received. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Katherine did a great job with Betty when we went away recently. Betty is a nervous dog so we rarely leave her, but Katherine put us at ease with frequent updates and pictures, and we could tell Betty was enjoying herself. I'm so pleased we found someone we can trust with Betty and would highly recommend Katherine. The fact that she has so many repeat clients tells you all you need to know.”
“The sitter that we were used to wasn't available and we needed a 3 week stay, so I was very anxious trying to find a new one. Abi was great since our first contact. Very transparent and accommodating. The stay was as smooth as possible. We got plenty of pics and updates and Kobe seemed very comfortable with her. I highly recommend Abi.”
“Gabriella took exceptional care of Pnina and truly went above and beyond in every way. From the moment we connected, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly reliable. She treated Pnina as if she were her own—showing so much patience, gentleness, and genuine affection. Gabriella was always punctual, communicative, and thoughtful, keeping me updated and making sure all of Pnina’s needs were met. It was clear she’s responsible, trustworthy, and deeply experienced with pets. I had complete peace of mind knowing Pnina was safe, loved, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for someone compassionate, dependable, and truly outstanding.”
“Andressa and Alex watched our dogs for four days. We would highly recommend them! They sent plenty of videos and updates on the pups, they have a clean home and nice fenced area for the pups and we felt very comfortable leaving our kids with them. We will definitely use them again!”
“Mirian did an amazing job taking care of my dog Luna while I was out of the country. She was attentive, reliable, and treated Luna like her own. I could tell my dog felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I appreciate the level of care she gave, and I would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for great pet care.”
“Our dog Emma had a wonderful time and made some new friends. Garrett is professional and polite and friendly to Emma. We had a great experience for the first time using this app service. We will services again in the future when the need arises.”
“Bob and Keri are the absolute best!! Unfortunately, one of our pups hurt his leg right before our trip. While I felt bad for my little guy, I knew he’d be well taken care of by our favorite sitters. By the time we got back, his leg was already feeling better thanks to the compassion and care Keri and Bob showed him. And our other pup was perfectly tuckered out thanks to all the extra playtime he received.”
“Gaby took great care of our dog. She made sure to keep us updated on how he was doing during his stay and sent lots of pictures! Would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others as well!”
“I cannot express how pleased I am with Natalie and her family. She welcomed my two fur babies into their home and treated them as their own. My little girls were so well taken care of and treated as part of the family. She also is great at communication and sent me lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Natalie and her family to watch your fur babies.”
“Lorena and family did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats; Nala and Simba. I know that the cats were shown a lot of love and they were well fed and cared for during our week away. Both cats were very content with their temporary home and it was obvious that they loved Lorena because they wanted to sleep on her bed to be near her! Thank you Lorena, we really appreciate you opening your home to our furry friends!”
“Nancy made our little one feel right at home. Her place is quiet and cozy. Since she only sits one dog at a time, we knew our anxious doggo would be perfectly happy staying with her. She sent us pictures and videos of Koah as well which made us feel comfortable leaving him for the long weekend. We will definitely work with Nancy again!”
“We had such a great experience with Camila! She was super friendly and communicative from the very beginning. She even invited us over beforehand so we could see how our cat would do in her home and meet her sweet dog, which really put us at ease. While we were out of town, she cared for our cat for several days and sent us regular updates and photos. She truly went above and beyond to make our cat feel comfortable, loved, and part of her family. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with her again!”

“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
“Tamara did a fantastic job. She kept in constant contact during visits. Asked questions about my kitties peculiarities to make sure nothing was wrong and sent great pics.”
“Cristina is absolutely amazing! She came so consistently and timely each day for bean’s feedings and did so amazing with making her feel comfortable (bean is very very shy/skiddish). She was so understanding about bean getting her treats everywhere too! Don’t look any further, she’s the best!”
“Emily W. did an excellent job caring for my two cats. My cats are very shy, but Emily did her best to make them feel comfortable. She even put my trash and recycling cans out on trash day and returned them to the garage. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Glen was fantastic!!!! He went above and beyond making Lola feel happy, safe and secure. I would absolutely recommend Glen to anyone who wants their fur baby taken great care of. We will most definitely use Glen again! Wonderful experience!”

“Sarah was awesome taking care of our cat. Due to time conflicts, we were able to go through the details by video and in the duration she checked in on our biscuit (our cat), there was no issues with the house, our cat who was originally a stray had warmed up to her, and on top of that she was very attentive to our home. Would highly recommend Sarah to watch your fur baby.”
“Natela took care of my cat Spyro, sent daily photos which were greatly appreciated! It can be difficult to find cat sitters on Rover, so I am relieved to trust my cat with Natela!”
“My animals were all happy and well taken care of, including my diabetic cat who this was my first time leaving her with a pet sitter. My skittish tomcat was even peeking out but the end of the week.”
About: My current rental isn’t pet-friendly, so I don’t have a fur baby of my own right now but honestly, animals have been a consistent part of my life and work! As a full-time traveling newborn care specialist (nanny), I’ve had the joy of caring for family pets while also looking after their little ones, or stepping in as the sole pet caregiver while families travel. It’s become a natural perk of my career! I love hiking, going for walks and jogs, playing fetch, and just enjoying the outdoors so active pups/high-energy breeds are very welcome. My schedule as an on-call nanny keeps me pretty flexible overall, and I’m happy to work around your needs. Im based in Tampa for the next month! I treat every home with respect: your rules are my rules! I’m a bit Type A myself, so I naturally keep things tidy and orderly. I stay alert and aware of my surroundings whether we’re inside or out, and I’m experienced with rescues and anxious dogs, so I know how to read body language and adjust my approach. At dog parks or on walks, I stay vigilant so your pet is always safe.

“Fiorella and her family were great! She responded when I needed someone to take extra care of my puppy at the last minute. I can tell by all the photos she sent throughout the day that Smoke was so happy to be there with her family and other pups. She was responsive and made sure to give me updates regarding his current stomach issue. She was so attentive and noticed a small detail about my puppy that I forgot to mention about him. I felt comfortable all day with him there with her. I will be a returning customer! Highly recommend!”

Highly highly recommend your fur baby with them!!!”

Madyson had love and attention not only from Abigail and Abigails daughter, but also from Abigails fur babies... I loved not only the updates about how Madyson was doing but also the pictures that Abigail sent to me... This was the first day, of I hope many days, that Madyson will stay with Abigail and play with her new friends... Thank you Abigail for giving me the peace of mind knowing that Madyson is loved and cared for when I am away and she is with you!”

Whether it was family or neighbors I’ve always been the go-to for pet sitting of any kind, and I hope I get the chance to show your pup or kitty the love they deserve too. I attend university online, so my schedule is very flexible and I have the ability to make as many trips as necessary a day to care for your pet, and of course I’m happy to let them sleep on my lap while I work on papers. Gaining a pets trust is important to me so I never push them beyond their comfort zone, and wait for them to choose to warm up to me.

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, featuring fish, cats, and a few different breeds of dogs. I love being active so if you need your dog walked I gotchu. If your pet just needs a bit of loving, I got more than enough love to give to your precious babies. In my life I’ve owned fish, a cat, and currently the cutest white German Shepard. I am more than willing to adapt to whatever special needs your pet has, even as far as spoon feeding them. (Hasn’t happened yet but who knows!) I’ve done pet sitting for multiple neighbors and relatives: fish, frogs, cats (both kittens and a senior), and even a few different breeds of dogs (primarily a golden Labrador). I am happy to be at your service and to get to know your precious beans. I am an artist and need some work on the side of that to get by. Since I have such flexibility, I should be able to show up any time as long as I’m not asleep! I cannot accept pets into my own home as I currently own a dog and don’t want mine or your pet(s) to get stressed by strange animals; however, as far as caring for pets in other people’s homes, I am willing to make as many visits as is necessary. I can also take your pet on walks, clean up if there happens to be a mess (ie: hairball), change litter, clean up dog poop, and more! As of now I don’t offer overnight stays.
“Kathryn is WONDERFUL! She is so great with our two large dogs (each weight about 90lbs) and they love her. She is reliable and professional - and is our go to person for helping with our dogs. She has helped us multiple times with little short notice and is always happy to help if she can. Would highly recommend!”

“Natela is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. She's been walking my dog every day over the noon hour, as I am not able to make it home due to work. I come home to a happy puppy each night and I know it's because Natela does such a great job handling her. It's relieving to know that I never have to worry about leaving Natela in charge of watching over my dog and I love the updates and pictures she frequently sends me during their time together. I could tell the very first time that I introduced Natela to my dog that she was going to treat her as if she were her own, which was very comforting to me. I am beyond thankful for the help Natela has been providing me and I look forward to continuing to work with her! ”

“Brian and his family were everything I wished for in taking care of my Lady for 9 days. It was our first time away from each other. Brian sent pictures every day and I could see how happy Lady was. It was such a relief. We will travel more now that Lady has a “second” home. Thank you so much Brian!”
“Matt and Nicole were AMAZING!! My wife and I were nervous since we've never trusted our pup with anyone other than family. They put our mind at ease with plenty of updates and pictures and even a funny video. They were flexible with the pickup time as our flight came in late and overall made this experience as easy as possible for us. It's good knowing we have someone so close if we need someone to watch our pupwhile we're away. Thank you both!”
“We love Bibiana! My husband and I have used her services multiple times, and we couldn't be happier. She recently watched our dog for two weeks, and the experience was great. We received daily updates, often multiple times a day, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was safe, happy, and well taken care of. We can tell that our dog enjoys revisiting Bibiana. She provides a comfortable home environment, with access to the backyard to play, and she gets treated like part of her family. Very highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful experience with Penny’s stay! Jacquelyn kept us informed throughout the entire booking and provided regular updates with photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Penny was well cared for, happy, and comfortable. The communication was excellent, and we truly appreciated the attention and care she received. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Katherine did a great job with Betty when we went away recently. Betty is a nervous dog so we rarely leave her, but Katherine put us at ease with frequent updates and pictures, and we could tell Betty was enjoying herself. I'm so pleased we found someone we can trust with Betty and would highly recommend Katherine. The fact that she has so many repeat clients tells you all you need to know.”
“Andressa and Alex watched our dogs for four days. We would highly recommend them! They sent plenty of videos and updates on the pups, they have a clean home and nice fenced area for the pups and we felt very comfortable leaving our kids with them. We will definitely use them again!”
“Our dog Emma had a wonderful time and made some new friends. Garrett is professional and polite and friendly to Emma. We had a great experience for the first time using this app service. We will services again in the future when the need arises.”
“We had such a great experience with Camila! She was super friendly and communicative from the very beginning. She even invited us over beforehand so we could see how our cat would do in her home and meet her sweet dog, which really put us at ease. While we were out of town, she cared for our cat for several days and sent us regular updates and photos. She truly went above and beyond to make our cat feel comfortable, loved, and part of her family. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Kathryn is always amazing with my pup! She gives me such a sense of peace knowing my dog is safe, happy, and well cared for whenever I’m away. I never have to worry because I know she’s in loving, capable hands. Kathryn is reliable, caring, and provides excellent care every time. I truly appreciate everything she does and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy caretaker for your dog.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Skye took amazing care of 2pac while I was away. From the daily updates and adorable photos to the extra attention given to 2pac’s routines, it was clear that they truly cared. I bought back home a happy, relaxed, and well-loved pet. I felt completely at ease knowing my furry friend was in such good hands. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend Skye to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Amy was a wonderful communicator sending photos everyday of our dogs and letting us know how they were doing. Her place is perfect for dogs with tons of space, especially our Aussies that love to go go go! We felt very comfortable leaving them with Amy for the first time and will definitely be repeat customers!!”
“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!”
“Angie is a dog owner so she treated my fur babies like family. She took pictures and videos and sent them to me. This made feel confident that my babies were in good hands. Cooper and Dixies thanks Angie just the same.”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 15 years old. Friends and family trust me to feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience with puppies, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and supervision. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I have two friendly Poodles and a Pomeranian and always do slow, controlled introductions to make sure every pet feels comfortable. If a dog prefers space, I can easily separate them. I also offer crate care if needed and follow your pet’s routine closely. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Joan was AMAZING with my diabetic cat. There are no words to describe how nice she was to me and my baby. It's been a very stressful beginning to what may be a long journey with diabetes. She put my mind at ease and I was comforted with her experience on handling the necessary insulin shots that he needed. She was also kind enough to stay with my cat on a night when he was having a hard time. She went above and beyond with making him feel at home. I can't thank her enough. I wish I could rate her 10 stars!!! :-)”
