“Michelle did a terrific job for MIllie and myself. Both Millie and myself were experiencing separation anxiety, and Michelle did a great job for both of us.. Lots of photos and email dialogue reassuring my wife and I that Millie was doing fine. Truthfully, I think Millie missed being there and took a little time readjusting to being home. Will definitely try and book Michelle when we back in Florida next year.”
“Betsy took care of our dog last minute, she is very passionate and professional and well prepared. Fully fenced in yard, toys at the ready, and she walked our dog daily. We received pictures multiple times a day, I felt extremely safe and confident with Penny in her care, we will be booking again!”
“I am so grateful for Elisa and the amazing care she gave our dog! She’s reliable, kind, and clearly love animals. Our pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. We’d definitely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”
“Stephanie and Elizabeth took great care of our two pups for almost two weeks. They sent us regular photos and always responded quickly to messages. We will definitely use them again!”
“Viktoryia was a pleasure to talk to and her whole family definitely loves and cares for dogs. Her place is amazing and the dogs absolutely couldn’t get enough of their little adventure. We picked our pups up clean and happy, you could tell they had a lot of fun! I would recommend everyone to reach out as we were worried about our boys but she kept us informed and confident the entire time we were away!”
“Absolutely fantastic. I think my pup had more fun than I did on vacation. Donna sent videos every morning of how he was doing, and she even fixed one of his bad habits!! If I ever have to leave town again or just want my dog to have his own vacation for a weekend I won't go to anyone else. Her backyard is huge and fenced in and the dogs have a perfect space to be themselves.”
“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.”
“Ali is amazing! She has dog sat for my two pups twice when I’ve gone on long week vacations that happen to be out of the country. I trust her to keep my dogs safe and that they will get lots of love during their stay. My one dog is a little anxious around other people but has taken to Ali and her family so well, can we say dog whisperers? It’s so comforting to know my dogs are in the best care and I feel fortunate to have found Ali on Rover. She’s a great communicator, organized, responsible, and goes above and beyond for her clients. Thank you Ali!”
“Eve was such a wonderful sitter! Our girl ended up not feeling well for a portion of her stay (through no fault of Eve's), and Eve took such good care of her and was so communicative with us while we were out of town. We are so grateful to Eve and won't hesitate to contact her again.”
“Alyssa took good care of Leo and was very communicative throughout his stay. I appreciated the photos she sent with each update as well! We will use her again.”
“Hope and her husband are awesome! You can tell they are dog lovers! I first took Samba for a meet and greet and her puppies are sweet and well behaved. During Samba’s stay, Hope sent many pictures and kept me updated. I am sure Samba had a great time! Thank you Hope! I will definitely book again!”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“What a wonderful family, and our sweet dog came back happy, healthy, and unstressed. I will definitely reach out again to have them dog-sit. Karson was so thoughtful to send us pictures showing how she was adjusting, since this was the first time she had ever been left with someone. Thank you!”
“We could not be happier with the treatment Skipper received from Olga. She sent us daily pix and he looked so happy. When we picked him up he was clean and frisky. We will use Olga absolutely.”
“Sarah was great! We booked her for a last minute Disney trip and she was very accommodating. My dogs did great, she had everything for them. She even sent pics of them. We felt that they were in good hands.”

“My normally shy ex-feral cat was comfortable enough with Kaci to come out and visit with her every day, which says a lot! Very reliable and responsive and left great notes and photos with each visit - will definitely book again for my next trip.”
“Megan is polite, respectful and communicative. You can't ask for a better person to take care of your furry family members while you are away. Very happy and would rebook again!”
“Jennifer was great! She was able to come spend time with our 2 cats Buddy and Howard when our other rover sitter could not come last minute. She took great care of them and her son was also great playing with them and making sure they did not get lonely while we were away. I will definitely be requesting her again as a sitter. I would recommend her !”
About: I’ve raised cats since I can literally remember. I grew up in the country, so there were a lot of barn cats around the property, and I remember just always being drawn to the cats. Nothing has changed as now I have 2 of my own little angel girls being spoiled and running my home. Cats have such unique personalities and their trust means SO much since they are not as easy to win over as dogs.

About: I have owned cats my entire life and have enjoyed every minute with them.

“Adela was truly amazing! She was super communicative and responsive, friendly, and attentive to my pup while I was away. I really appreciated how genuine she was from the get go bc I felt very assured and confident my dog would be in great hands - which turned out to be exactly right. She went above and beyond, even taking her on multiple extra walks and trips to the park each day which I know my pup LOVED. Definitely someone I recommend and will be rebooking with again in the future!”
“They were awesome! Glen had a great time playing with the other dogs there! They know a ton about dogs so I felt extremely comfortable leaving glen with them for the day and they were great to him! Definitely will be using them anytime I am in town!”

“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.”
“Charlie awas very responsive, and accommodating. His wife took Halo for a walk as soon as we arrived. Charlie sent pictures and updates on Halo. I would definitely recommend them.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I simply adore pets of any kind. If given the chance with your fur baby, I will treat them like my own. I currently live on the island of Longboat Key full time so this makes it perfect for individuals who work or are snowbirds and need a sitter only during certain months. I have a fully fenced in property and love to be outside and having fun with your pet. I also travel to your home too, if needed.
About: My husband, Daniel, and I have taken care of all types of dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and fish with age related challenges, medical conditions and more for over 20 years.

I am a teacher with a very set schedule. I am able to care for your fur (or not so furry) babies around that….before, after, weekends and breaks. My husband is retired and can work almost anytime. We will travel to your home to take care of your animals in the environment they feel most comfortable, their own home. We can walk, let out, play with and love them as close to how you would. We will also take dogs into our house to watch.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 4 years old and have been dog sitting for the past 10 years. I currently have two dogs of my own, ages 1 and 3, and I recently cared for my senior dog through age 15. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I work from home, so I’m able to be with the dogs throughout the day and provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. My dogs can be separated from visiting dogs if that is preferred or if your dog is more comfortable having their own space. I’m also comfortable giving medications and following special care instructions. As a longtime dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your dog. My goal is for you to be able to leave knowing your dog is safe, loved, and well cared for. I work from home, so I’m able to be with your dog throughout the day and give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship. I can easily follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication and sleep schedule so their routine stays as familiar as possible while you’re away I have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get outside throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own, ages 1 and 3, but they can be completely separated from visiting dogs if needed or preferred. I’m comfortable with puppies through senior dogs, administering medications, and following any special care instructions you provide. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable and at home while they’re in my care.
About: Me encantan los animales y disfruto cuidarlos con amor y dedicación.

I Have a huge backyard thats fenced, I have enough space to place mini houses for the dogs and for them to have their own space and I have currently no pets so It would be a safe enviroment for dogs who do not enjoy being around other dogs
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”
“Laura and her family were incredible watching our 3 month old puppy for the day. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times, had great communication and continuously sent us update photos throughout the day!

I typically take dogs on a walk in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Depending on the needs of the dog, I can do additional potty breaks and different walk lengths. I am open to house sitting and can bring your dog to nearby trails or nearby dog parks as needed.

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and genuinely love spending time with dogs — playing, exploring, and getting them out for enrichment, not just a quick walk around the block. My own dog and I are regulars at sniff spots and the beach, and I know how much a good sniffy walk can do for a dog’s mood and energy. I have specific experience with reactive dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and keeping walks calm and controlled. At home I’ve got two cats, and between my own pets and my 5 granddogs (a few of whom have physical disabilities), I’ve had a lot of practice adapting care to each animal’s individual needs. You’ll get a reliable, on-time sitter/walker who treats your dog like part of the pack, with photo and text updates along the way. A few highlights: • Experienced with reactive dogs — calm, attentive handling • Loves active outings: sniff spots, beach walks, play sessions • Comfortable with dogs who have physical disabilities or special needs Flexible, fully open schedule — available weekdays, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I can accommodate last-minute requests and recurring bookings alike. Careful, security-conscious sitter. I’m always attentive to leashes, gates, and doors, keeping every pet secure and safe. I will treat them like my own.

I have a knack for building trust with animals (I think it’s my patience and warm nature that’s the key)!
About: With ten years of hands-on pet sitting experience, I provide reliable, personalized care for animals of all sizes and personalities. My background includes extensive work with cats, dogs, turtles, and fish, each requiring unique attention and understanding. I'm currently a full-time college student pursuing my nursing degree, so I have open availability to suit all of you and your furry friend's needs! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routines and environment. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling safe and happy while you’re away.
About: I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, I always had at least two dogs in the house with me. My parents always instilled never ending love for the family pets into me and nothing make me more comfortable than a furry friend by my side. I also spent some time working for a dog boarding facility in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. While loving every minute of it, I would like to pursue that feeling again by working for Rover and taking excellent care of your furry friend. I work full-time at a local high school as a coach. My schedule is open in various slots in the day for dog care, and my job allows me to take care of any tasks I need to throughout the day as long as my work is not affected. I am usually off work by 5:30 pm and live just minutes away from work. I also do not work on weekends, so those days are full of opportunity. In your home, I will make sure the pets are safe and getting as much love, attention, and playtime as they deserve! When on walks, I will ensure they are a safe distance from vehicles and that they are cleaned up after.

I firmly believe animals are just like children. I'm very protective over animals and I love them as much as I'd love my own family member. 🥰 I've mostly cared for dogs and cats, but I've had the pleasure to care for horses and chickens too; thanks to Rover! I LOVE spending quality time, going for walks, and cuddling up with all animals. I am an animal lover and treat all animals as part of my family. I always require emergency phone numbers. These include client numbers, emergency vet numbers, and a trusted neighbor (if applicable). I love animals and try my best to care for every need.

I do require emergency phone numbers such as owner's names/numbers, address/name/ number of trusted neighbor(if applicable,) and emergency veterinarian contacts. If your animal gets scared when it storms, please let me know this information. I can play soothing, meditation music on my phone or we can play with a toy to distract your fur baby.

“Absolutely fantastic. I think my pup had more fun than I did on vacation. Donna sent videos every morning of how he was doing, and she even fixed one of his bad habits!! If I ever have to leave town again or just want my dog to have his own vacation for a weekend I won't go to anyone else. Her backyard is huge and fenced in and the dogs have a perfect space to be themselves.”
“Eve was such a wonderful sitter! Our girl ended up not feeling well for a portion of her stay (through no fault of Eve's), and Eve took such good care of her and was so communicative with us while we were out of town. We are so grateful to Eve and won't hesitate to contact her again.”
“Alyssa took good care of Leo and was very communicative throughout his stay. I appreciated the photos she sent with each update as well! We will use her again.”
“Hope and her husband are awesome! You can tell they are dog lovers! I first took Samba for a meet and greet and her puppies are sweet and well behaved. During Samba’s stay, Hope sent many pictures and kept me updated. I am sure Samba had a great time! Thank you Hope! I will definitely book again!”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“What a wonderful family, and our sweet dog came back happy, healthy, and unstressed. I will definitely reach out again to have them dog-sit. Karson was so thoughtful to send us pictures showing how she was adjusting, since this was the first time she had ever been left with someone. Thank you!”
“Sarah was great! We booked her for a last minute Disney trip and she was very accommodating. My dogs did great, she had everything for them. She even sent pics of them. We felt that they were in good hands.”
“I recommend her 100%! She took care of Oviler with so much love and passion. Oliver was happy with her and she sent me pictures and updates frequently. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: My husband, Daniel, and I have taken care of all types of dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and fish with age related challenges, medical conditions and more for over 20 years. We enjoy our pets and love most animals!! As I teach high school, Daniel does visits while I am at work. Daniel retired after 23 years in public health in the US Army. I am a teacher with a very set schedule. I am able to care for your fur (or not so furry) babies around that….before, after, weekends and breaks. My husband is retired and can work almost anytime. We will travel to your home to take care of your animals in the environment they feel most comfortable, their own home. We can walk, let out, play with and love them as close to how you would. We will also take dogs into our house to watch.
“Kendal and Dre are amazing! River loves to visit and has the very best time! It makes leaving her that much easier when we know she is so well cared for!”
“Terrific care and love generatedfrom Tracy to Millie. Plays ball and takes walks with Millie on a daily basis. She asked for permission to take for car rides and trips, that Millie thoroughly enjoys, and I enthusiastically approved. She relieved the apprehension I had about leaving, enabling me to enjoy my vacation.”
“Kym was great with my pup. While I was out of town visiting family and living my best life, Pixie was living her best life with Kym. She made sure that she got plenty of exercise and snuggles and even took her out on the golf cart which she loved. I really appreciate that Kym was able to watch my dog on fairly short notice as well after my primary sitter became unavailable. I may have just found a new primary sitter.”
