Personalized care for your dog or cat - Laurel
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Laurel
“Our little Moe had his first over night with Marley. Marley was great responding to our texts and did send a few photos. It is a very chill, doggie environment with the dogs allowed on furniture and easy access to the outdoors. Moe will return!”
“Linda was a terrific nanny for Oscar! She responded very quickly to my request, had a prompt and positive meet and greet… and was kind and caring during Oscar’s stay. We received numerous pictures of his “making himself at home” and a happy reunion after 12 days. Highly recommended!”
“Excellent stay and care for Sweetie 💕 Beth was amazing and very friendly, responsive and took great care of my pup. Additional perk, Sweetie found a new BFF. 100 % recommend”
“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 💎”
“Kathy J. is an excellent dog sitter. Her home is clean, and built for puppies to have fun. The atmosphere that our babies receive from Kathy and her husband is full of much loving care and fun. Our puppies enjoyed playing with their two puppies during their stay. Kathy sent pictures and updates everyday so we could know how our boys were doing which was awesome. Won't hesitate calling on Kathy J. again if care is needed. ”
“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.”
“Morgan did a great job with Ollie. She sent me photos and even took Ollie to the vet for his infected eye. I was concerned that Ollie wouldn’t get along with big dogs but he had a good time playing. Her son took them for walks as well. I won’t hesitate to use Morgan again!”
“Morgan was amazing. Very communicative and sent pics daily. My dog seemed to really enjoy his time. Would recommend her to anyone. She lives on a large plot of land away from any city.”
“What a wonderful stay Charlee had with Cherolyn. She spoiled him and took amazing care of him I never worried the second I left him with her for two weeks! Cherolyn is a one of a kind person and we are greatful to have found her on Rover. Thank You Again for everything.”
“I had such a great experience! They sent me several photo updates, and my dog looked very happy and comfortable the entire time. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I felt very at ease leaving him with them and will definitely be booking again.”
“Alisha took wonderful care of our dog Dixie! I could tell by the pictures that she sent that Dixie was truly happy. I highly recommend Alisha to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter.”
“Thank you to Ray and his son for watching our dog over Thanksgiving. We really appreciated the daily updates especially for our dog who can be very anxious. They even got her a couple new toys to play with.”
“Corinne was so kind and loving with my dogs! She treated them with such care . I am so thankful for her. She sent updates with pictures which made me feel so at ease, knowing they were in excellent care with her. My dogs were happy there and so well taken care of! Would 1000% ask her to watch my dogs again. Thank you!!!”
“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!”
“I live in Kentucky. Every January I spend the month in Seista Key/Sarasota area. Nathalie has kept my 2 Cavaliers on many occasions during my visits. She is my first choice, always! I cannot tell you how helpful this has been. I can enjoy my vacation while knowing my fur babies are safe and happy! She is just awesome and her whole family engages in their care. They go on walks (which they love, love) play in her fenced back yard and are loved and cuddled. Nathalie often sends me pics and videos which allows me to enjoy my time without them. I highly recommend and trust her and her family. If only I could have someone like her back home in KY!”
“Huge thank you to Viktoryia for hosting my anxious little terrier while I was on a business trip. Her dog, Coco, took my dog under her wing. My dog had the run of the house which was wonderful as she insists on snuggling with her humans on couches / beds or wherever they happen to be. Thank you, Viktoryia!”
“The best! We love bringing our pet to Marcela and he loves to go also. Wonderful caregiver for our dog and I feel very comfortable leaving him with her. They love him like he is their own.”

“Christine takes such good care of my kitty. She spoils her with lots of love and care. It is a wonderful thing to know my kitty is so well cared for when I am away. Thank you Christine. Blue loves you!”
“Tracy did a fantastic job with our cat, Echo. She was prompt and caring. The photos and videos she sent showed us how happy he was when she was there. We highly recommend her and we will definitely use her again.”
“Angela spent such good time with our two kitties! She took them in the front Lanai and let them play. They loved it! Food, water and litter box were well taken care of. We hope to use Angela again!”
“We had the unfortunate situation of a hurricane sneaking up on us during this trip. They were fantastic! They were exceptionally communicative and let me know what the overall situation was at home as well as going out just before and then again not long after to check on my pets. They even got my extremely skittish car, that talks to no one, to come out and play most days.”

Also I maintain and keep schedules and plans in place for your pet; along with monitoring health, behavior and notifying pet parents of any change that arises while in my care. I want to be 100% transparent with everything that goes on in your absence to keep you at a peace of mind.
“Tracy was an absolute blessing!! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I traveled out of state. I received updates and pictures with each visit. It was so comforting knowing my boys where well taken care of while I couldn't be there. If I ever have to leave them again, I will be sure to rebook Tracy with Rover! Thank you Tracy!!”
“After never having spent even one night alone in our Florida home, a family matter took us out of state and we had to leave our cat alone for 5 days/4 nights. We were very anxious to leave our kitty alone but felt confident all would be okay after meeting Carolina. She was on time for all visits, spent time with our shy kitty and gave us reports with pictures after every visit. We came home to a well-fed and content kitty --- and clean eating and litter areas. Would definitely recommend Carolina and hire again!”

We also have a large screened area for cooler days. And plenty of room for roaming.
“This was our first time leaving our 3 cats with a pet sitter. Christina was absolutely amazing!! She came to meet our kitties before we left to ensure that they were familiar with her, and we could show her around. While we were gone, she loved on our cats and sent daily reports with details on how each was doing. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled while we were away. I would highly recommend Christina as your next pet sitter, and we will definitely use her again!”
“Rebecca was great! She took notes of all the details of the visit, was very communicative, and did everything we asked of her (and more). I felt very secure leaving our cats in her care. Very appreciative of everything she did! Would book her again any time!”
“Christine was awesome! She always came around the same time, which and important because our cats liked their daily treat at a certain time, did all the things we asked of her and spent time with our cats. We are so appreciative of her visits and felt confident with her caring for our cats. Will definitely utilize her service again in the future!”

Whatever your pet’s speed - I am here to accommodate and ensure they receive the highest level of care, always.
“If it hadn't been for the pictures of my kitty in the house during my trip, I would think no one had been inside the house for days. Missy was not hungry, emotionally needy, or starved for outside time upon my return. That can only mean all her needs were met in my absence. Overall a great first experience with both Diane and Rover.com.”
“Thank you Tara. Our 2 dogs were well taken care of. I appreciate booking her last minute. We usually can have family watch our pups, but we will definitely call Tara again if we need a sitter.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Laurel
“I had to go down to Carson City last minute and couldn’t find a sitter. Kari was incredibly sweet and I’m thankful she could take my pup at last minute request. She took him to the nearby grass area and sent pictures and videos of him playing. He seemed to be having a great time and was tired when we picked him up to take him home. She had plenty of toys for him to rummage through, as well. I highly reccomend Kari to anyone.”
“So amazing and understanding for our last minute drop in. Oliver loved playing with the kids, got pictures and updates. Highly recommended! Would definitely book again! Thank you so much Morgan, you are the best! ?”
“Corrina does a wonderful job with Teddy! He is high energy and has separation anxiety but she is able to settle him down and has him sitting on her lap and calm upon return. She is a very nice person and has a comfortable way. Her pet Romey is a very calm loving dog who takes Teddy in stride. We highly recommend Corinna as a sitter in her home.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life so I have a lot of experience caring for them. They become my family and I love them dearly. I treat them better than most people treat their children. I would do anything for them, and I would treat any other pet the exact same way, as if they were my own. I live in a house with a fenced in backyard, great for running and playing. I live in a safe neighborhood with large sidewalks that are great for afternoon walks. I have a standard poodle and a mini-poodle who love to run and play together, they would make your pet feel welcomed and right at home. I also have two cats that are very friendly and loves the dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around visits, ensuring, consistent, reliable care, timely walks, feedings, and regular updates. I follow each pets routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates for peace of mind.
“So grateful for Ray and Randy! They were able to take our Ollie for a few hours today so that we could enjoy Easter dinner with at my very allergic brother's house. Ollie slept there which meant he felt comfortable. Ray and Randy were so calm and gentle with him. Highly recommend them and will definitely book again. Thank you!!!!”

I currently have no other pets in the home. I have multiple dog beds and also a medium size crate on hand along with plenty of dog toys and treats.
“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! I’m Marianna, a lifelong animal lover offering drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats. Animals are truly part of my family. I share my home with my amazing Golden Lab, Phoebe, who is incredibly well-behaved, gentle, and adventurous — she goes paddle boarding, loves the water, and is even a diver! Phoebe is a Theraphy dog . She is a calm, confident, and friendly role model for other dogs. We also have two wonderful cats: Pharaoh (Abyssinian) and Phoenix (Scottish Fold). They are very social, affectionate, and used to being around dogs, so our home is a peaceful, happy, and interactive environment for all pets. I’m certified in Pet First Aid & CPR for both cats and dogs, so your pet’s safety is always a top priority. In addition to loving care, I also offer support with behavioral training and confidence building. I’ve personally trained my own 2.5-year-old pup to a very high level of obedience, and I enjoy helping other dogs feel calm, safe, and well-mannered. Our home features a fenced yard, a swimming pool (with supervision), and plenty of space to play, rest, and relax in a loving, low-stress environment. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, swim, or simply nap in the sun, they will feel right at home here. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I would be honored to care for your furry family while you’re away 🐶🐱💛 Ps . For safety, any signs of prey drive toward cats (staring, lunging, chasing) will result in immediate separation or early pick-up. That’s why Meet and Greet is a MUST for me. I keep a flexible schedule so your pet receives calm, unhurried attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-ins on both weekdays and weekends, and I intentionally limit how many pets I take (1-2 great pets at a time ONLY) to ensure each one feels safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my home with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. Dogs are always monitored, kept on routine, and can be crated if needed. I follow owner instructions closely, prioritize cleanliness, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.
“This was my first time booking with Stephanie. I am visiting from out of town. She kept my 2 Cavaliers for the day and all went very well. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day. They got outside time in the big fenced back yard and they were happy and healthy when I picked them up. I was very satisfied and will book again.”
“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!”
“Kind, conscientious, friendly, clean and safe environment. Christine booked us on a last minute notice. She took both puppies and gave them great care. We felt very grateful and relieved to leave them in her hands. Her little dog was an added blessing.”
About: I have been a pet owner and care taker my whole life i worked as a daycare and boarding facility attendant for 2 years. I own a german Shepard and a dachshund and love them to pieces. I have worked with everything from cane corsos and mastiffs to toy yorkies and chihuahuas. I love all dogs big and small and want to care for them in every way i know how. I am versed with dogs with siezures, diabetes, all kinds of behavioral issues. I am a college student who is deeply missing her babies back home. My schedule is very flexible outside of class at the moment so im very excited to meet as many new babies as possible. I have a german Shepard who requires daily exercise and we go on daily morning runs to meet those. My dachshund is 13 years old and requires medication as well as a special diet. I will treat any dog like my own and any requirements a pet owner has will be met to the best of my ability.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Laurel
“Wonderful walker who was chill around my energetic Golden and was able to manage his excitement.

“We were visiting family in Sarasota and last minute needed a dog walker for the day. Christine was available the night before and walked our dog twice for us while we were gone all day. She sent us photos of both walks which was great. Highly recommend and will use her again if we are back in Sarasota with our dog!”
“Thank you so much for walking Sammi! Sharon was responsible, timely and nice to my dog! She even came by the night before so that she would be able to find our camping site. Thank you again!”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10. I raised 2 liters of puppies with my family. Neighbors and friends have looked to me to take care of their dogs because of how much I enjoy doing it. I am currently home for the summer before I move and start my full-time job in August. I have lots of free time and love spending time with animals. I would be more than happy to take care of your pets whenever you need it! I'm very high energy, but also very tidy and would watch over your pet and home very nicely. I have my own dog who I have raised on my own, I have also walked and watched dogs consistently since I was in high school.
About: I have a special gift for earning the trust of shy, anxious, and hard-to-win-over cats—it's why many people call me a cat whisperer.. here's a little about me.... I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with four cats and have spent my entire life around animals. Many people call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats. I love helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable, and I've seen many reserved or unfriendly cats become affectionate and trusting with patience and understanding. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and love. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a caregiver for the elderly and take care of animals in my spare time. Most of the clients I work with have pets which I tend to as well. I am around animals pretty much around the clock and absolutely love it. ❤️ When I'm working with clients, I give as much attention to their pets as I do to them. I am a highly sought-after caregiver due to my attentiveness to their animals and the love and care I give them. I treat each and every one as if they were my own pet. I pay attention to their individual needs and wants.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve had my own American Cocker Spaniel and also grew up with a Boxer, so I’m comfortable with both gentle companion dogs and more energetic breeds. I also have a grooming certificate and worked as a dog bather in Virginia for several months, where I gained practical experience handling dogs, keeping them calm during grooming, and ensuring their comfort and safety. In addition, I volunteered at dog adoption events, helping care for dogs in new and sometimes stressful environments. This experience taught me how to read dog behavior, build trust quickly, and support dogs as they adjust. I am patient, attentive, and always adjust my approach to each dog’s personality to make them feel safe and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit dog walks, playtime, and visits into my daily routine, and I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also very comfortable maintaining a cat’s routine — including feeding, litter care, playtime, and quiet companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, walks for dogs, and playtime or companionship based on their needs. I always take time to build trust with each pet, especially shy or sensitive ones, and I adjust my approach to match their personality. My goal is to keep them calm, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: Hi! I'm Jill and I'd love to help take care of your pet - whether that's an afternoon walk, a pet sit or anything in between. I've had pets of my own for many years, including my cat Dot who passed in 2014 and my dog of 14 years Coconut, who I lost in 2026. Now that I don't have pets of my own, I want to spread the love and care for others' animals. I'm a single working professional with a flexible work and volunteering schedule, which means I can spend ample time with your baby - whether they want lots of activity or just someone to hang with them on the couch. Over the years, my family has had many pets (my mom fostered animals out of our home), and my sister is a vet (always on call for me as needed!). I have also watched others' pets for many years (mostly dogs and cats) and have experience with senior pets, diabetic pets and asthmatic pets. Yes, I know how to give a cat an inhaler :) I know your pet is a precious family member, and I will ensure s/he is in the best possible care under my watch - whether it's for a walk or an overnight stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Please reach out with any questions or for more references. I'm currently working remote (from home) and have an extremely flexible schedule. I am also somewhat mobile and willing to travel for pet sitting. I believe routine is important for animals and for people. I will do my best to ensure consistency in your pet's routine - whether that's feeding times, exercise, play time, pet time. I know every animal and every situation is unique. I want to understand how you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable so that I can continue that care.

I love being outside, the park and the beach. I can throw a ball or snuggle with the best. I have no problem giving baths and grooming needs. I am responsible, reliable, punctual, loving, and caring.

“Kathy J. is an excellent dog sitter. Her home is clean, and built for puppies to have fun. The atmosphere that our babies receive from Kathy and her husband is full of much loving care and fun. Our puppies enjoyed playing with their two puppies during their stay. Kathy sent pictures and updates everyday so we could know how our boys were doing which was awesome. Won't hesitate calling on Kathy J. again if care is needed. ”
“Morgan did a great job with Ollie. She sent me photos and even took Ollie to the vet for his infected eye. I was concerned that Ollie wouldn’t get along with big dogs but he had a good time playing. Her son took them for walks as well. I won’t hesitate to use Morgan again!”
“Morgan was amazing. Very communicative and sent pics daily. My dog seemed to really enjoy his time. Would recommend her to anyone. She lives on a large plot of land away from any city.”
“I had such a great experience! They sent me several photo updates, and my dog looked very happy and comfortable the entire time. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I felt very at ease leaving him with them and will definitely be booking again.”
“Alisha took wonderful care of our dog Dixie! I could tell by the pictures that she sent that Dixie was truly happy. I highly recommend Alisha to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter.”
“Thank you to Ray and his son for watching our dog over Thanksgiving. We really appreciated the daily updates especially for our dog who can be very anxious. They even got her a couple new toys to play with.”
“The best! We love bringing our pet to Marcela and he loves to go also. Wonderful caregiver for our dog and I feel very comfortable leaving him with her. They love him like he is their own.”
“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.”
“We were very happy with our experience leaving our golden retriever, Chance, with Suzanne and her family. When we picked him up after 5 days, he was clearly in good spirits and happy in the home. We loved the fact that Suzanne has a very large, fully enclosed back yard for him to roam freely in. Also, Suzanne clearly takes the responsibility of caring for someone's else's pet (and family member) very seriously. She's extremely organized and professional, noting everything relative to the pet's well being, from allergies, sleep routines, diet, veterinarian and other emergency contact. When we need to find someone to take care of Chance in our absence, we will definitely go to Suzanne first.”
“Russ and Marybeth are great! When Miss butt and I arrived for a meet and greet they really took the time to get to know her. They took very detailed notes about her normal schedule, her likes and dislikes, and personality. During her stay, I received daily photo texts and updates. Russ and Marybeth have a beautiful grassy backyard which Miss Butt really enjoyed. I will absolutely use their services again.”
“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!!!!!!!”
“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.”
“Lori was incredible! I was new to Rover, but decided to give it a try. After meeting her and her entire family, I felt very comfortable leaving our dog. While away, I got several pictures of our pup. Lori took him on long walks and he rested in one of many nice plush dog bed that she had. I could tell he was having a great time! Our pup was very well taken care of!! I would highly recommend Lori. Our family will continue to book whenever she is available moving forward!!”
“Pamela is the best sitter we could ask for. Every time we go on vacation, Nico gets one too. He’s always so relaxed and happy being with Pamela and her family , you can tell he’s genuinely loved and cared for, not just watched. We never worry when he’s with her, which as dog parents is honestly the biggest gift. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Nico (and we!) are always so excited for his next stay with her.”
