Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,”
“I can’t say enough great things about Tara and Justin! They took such amazing care of my two girls while I was away. Tara is incredibly compassionate and experienced—she made sure my dogs felt comfortable and right at home from the start, giving them the time they needed to adjust to a new environment. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my girls were happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time.

I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet care!”

We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and excellent communication. We would be delighted to book with Beth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“I am so happy to have found Nathalie. My Charlie lived his best life while playing with Nathalie's other dogs and her sweet kiddos. I didn't think he'd want to come home! Nathalie was great with sending photo and video updates, I felt very comfortable leaving Charlie with her and will absolutely use her again.”
“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!!!”
“It is the first time that I leave my dog taking care of someone unknown. Claudia is a very loving person, she sent me videos, photos and kept in touch with me at all times. I recommend it 100%. The best decision I could make. I can go on vacation now and I know that my dog will be in good hands.”

“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!”
“Leslie was so thoughtful and attentive with our pug. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent lots of photos. He got to spend the weekend playing in the yard with her sweet pug Patrick and we could not be happier to know he was in good hands. Will definitely book her again in the future and recommend to those looking for sitter!”
“Lindsay is an awesome dog sitter. I had to leave the state for a couple of weeks and was perfectly comfortable having my “kid” at her house. It’s nice because she works out of her home and do you know about the dog isn’t love for long periods of time. I will definitely use her again !”
“My dog Chip just had his second stay with James. He immediately got excited when we arrived and was excited to go inside. That’s all the reassurance I needed. My pup is happy arriving and upon pick up. Thanks for caring for my sweet boy!”

“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’ll definitely continue booking her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm.

About: I work remote from home Monday - Friday. So your baby will have constant companionship. I will be available to take them out regularly. The back yard is fully fenced with ALL grass so so dirty pups. Also the screened lanai has a doggie door. I lost my baby last year to cushings disease. I would love to give love to your pets and enjoy the fun and joy of having a pet in the house again. I work full time from my home office. Your pet will have free rein of my office /home. I will be available for frequent potty and petting breaks. I have a fully fenced yard and an enclosed lanai with a doggie door (for cooler weather.) I lost my dog last year and look forward to giving my love to your special friend!
About: I've grown up with pets in my home all my life, (until very recently) have always had at least a dog in the family. I have experience with many different breeds ranging from large pit bulls to tiny terriers. I have experience with different stages of life ranging from newborn puppies to deaf and blind elderly dogs. Our whole family has an intense love of animals and nature. I also have experience with house sitting for cats, birds and guinea pigs as well. I have open availability and ability to be flexible with my schedule in regard to drop-ins, walks or boarding. I have a large yard that is not fenced in but have plenty of space to have safe leashed walks along with areas to play. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I have open availability during the week as well as weekends and overnight. I am available to keep your pet at my home as well as reliably come to your home for walks and care. 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.
About: I have been pet sitting all types of animals for over 20 years and love sharing my big backyard and pool with them. Your pups will come home happy and probably a bit tired after a long day of playing and swimming :) I am blessed to be able to work remotely and have plenty of time to share with fur friends!! I'm available for overnight sitting and daycare in my home only at this time. I am available for both daycare and boarding at my home and am open to certain add on services upon request. While I do prefer medium sized dogs and up, smaller dogs can be accommodated however, depending on their size, they may not be able to freely run the entire backyard at this time as there are fence renovations in progress and a small, smart and determined tiny pup might find an escape route.
“Morgan is excellent! She knows what she's doing and took great care of my pup. She made sure he got plenty of the exercise and got out some of that puppy energy! I hope to book with her regularly, when I'm in the area.”
“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.”
“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! ?”
About: I have worked as an office coordinator in a veterinary clinic when I was younger and have always had a extreme LOVE for animals.

“When we met Floyd and Connie for the meet and greet with our Maxi, we could tell Maxi would be in good hands and we were right. Maxi had a great time at doggy day care with them; we could tell from the pics Floyd sent throughout the day. We will definitely be repeat clients.”
“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.”
“Excellent. Teri is a great care giver. Easy transition going in & out. She sent us pictures and updates. Teri is a good person who has rescued 3 dogs previously to give them a loving home. Our world needs more people like her. I will definitely recommend and rebook with Teri.”

She made her home very inviting for Teddy to have an enjoyable stay. She was good about sending updates and pictures for our comfort. She even gave good suggestions on food and other experiences. We recommend her and will request her 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 am a CPDT-KA certified, positive reinforcement dog trainer, and have worked in the professional pet care world for close to 20 years, with a lifetime love and heart for animals. I have spent the last few years doing private training lessons for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and breeds. I specialize in basic training, puppy training, family transitions (new baby, move, etc) as well as Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog training. Prior to that I worked for 7 years with a wonderful training group in the suburbs of Detroit where I not only taught and assisted with a variety of classes, I also worked in their dog walking and pet sitting department. In addition to that, my work history ranges from veterinary clinics, horse farms, dog daycares as well as shelter work and beyond. From a very young age I was drawn to and connected to animals and time always flew when I was beside them. I was that kid that would find stray cats to bring home, would knock on neighbors' doors and ask if I could walk their dog for free, and traded barn work for horse lessons as a young teen. I am so blessed to be working in a field that doesn't feel like work!! I am a full time mom and wife and part time dog trainer. I am happy to fit your pets' care into my daily routine and family's schedule. Please know my availability generally is around my kids' school schedule. My kids are very respectful and animal savvy, so if you are okay with them tagging along, that often opens up my availabilty more. I have cared for as well as owned a variety of animals with varying needs over the years. I understand and empathize the stress that can occur from having to leave your pet in the hands of someone else. I strive to make sure your pet is cared for with their individual needs, with lots of love, and most importantly your peace of mind while you are away for a day, a week, or longer. I treat my clients' pets with tender love and care like they were my own, just like how I would want my own pet to be cared for.

I’d love to spend my free time caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home. I keep up with their feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and any routines their owners provide. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and love, while keeping their environment clean and safe. I have two Chihuahuas and a Goldendoodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and lots of love. ❤️
“I am a first time Rover user and booked Kelly for our 11 year old hound mix, Bruno. She was a great communicator and kept me updated on how he was doing with texts and pictures. He did great and I am happy to use Kelly for our future trips.”
“If we could go higher than 5 stars, we would. Morgan willingly accepted caring for our anxious Aussie after our vet recommended that we find one-on-one care for him, rather than boarding him in a "commercial" facility. Morgan daily sent notes and photos of him at play with other dogs in her care and made sure that he got plenty of exercise as well as a lot of personal attention, petting and loving. Morgan even allowed him to sleep with her, thus continuing to provide the human contact his highly anxious personality craves. He never once needed any of his prescribed anxiety medication! Instead of being super-stressed out when we picked him up, he was happy and calm. Morgan's calmness, care and nurturing is exactly what he needed. We cannot thank her enough for giving us peace of mind during our time spent with family over the holidays.”
“Finn loves to stay with Marybeth and Russ. They provide a loving, safe home with a wonderful, enclosed backyard. In addition, Finn gets regular walks and lots of loving. When he gets out of the car at their house, he can't wait to get inside to see them; this is always a great sign of good care.”
“Our boy seemed very happy when we picked him up. Hope sent pictures throughout his stay and kept us updated. We had never left him with anyone besides family and close friends. We will definitely book with Hope again in the future.”
“Very friendly and their living arrangements are great. Very flexible and my dog Charly loves it there. They have sent me numerous videos of Charly since I left her. They are wondrful”
“My dog spent 9 days with Monica. It’s the first time I’ve used a boarder. I was able to relax on my vacation without worrying about my dog. Great atmosphere and Bear loved it. Highly recommend!”
“Ray and his son took great care of our pups. This was their first time away from home. I got pictures of my boys everyday along with a little message letting me know they were doing well. I can’t thank him enough for his caring nature and love he has for dogs.”
“So thankful for Morgan taking great care of my furbaby. Doug has high anxiety and takes awhile to get used to strangers so I was relieved to know he had a good time at Morgan’s place!”
About: I have been pet sitting all types of animals for over 20 years and love sharing my big backyard and pool with them. Your pups will come home happy and probably a bit tired after a long day of playing and swimming :) I am blessed to be able to work remotely and have plenty of time to share with fur friends!! I'm available for overnight sitting and daycare in my home only at this time. I am available for both daycare and boarding at my home and am open to certain add on services upon request. While I do prefer medium sized dogs and up, smaller dogs can be accommodated however, depending on their size, they may not be able to freely run the entire backyard at this time as there are fence renovations in progress and a small, smart and determined tiny pup might find an escape route.
