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!

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.

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 💎

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!

Haley has been my constant companion since my husband died. She is getting old and is anxious around other dogs so I needed a pet sitter without other dogs or young kids. Ray and his son took great care of Haley, sent me daily texts and photos, took her for walks and rides and I think that she enjoyed staying with them. I will definetely board Haley with Ray again.

Morgan was great! My TuckerBoone was well cared for and came back very happy. She stayed in communication with me and sent pictures while I was out of the country. We had a nice meet and greet a week before my departure. I felt very secure leaving my buddy with Morgan and her family. Clean safe environment for my TuckerBoone. Very happy with the experience and will be using her again. Thank you Morgan!

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.

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.

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!

Very pleased with the care my cat received. Brandon did everything we agreed to in terms of care and was responsive to all my text messages. He sat on the floor to be on my cats level and stayed for a full 30 minutes each time. He took cute pics of my chonky boy and left my home exactly as he found it. Would use again and recommend to others.

About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently own four cats and have experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. Friends, family, and clients often call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every cat is unique and respect their individual needs, routines, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers a quieter approach, I provide patient, compassionate care tailored to their personality. I have experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, playtime, companionship, and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. I genuinely love animals and treat every cat as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your feline family member feels secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾❤️

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.

My 2 kitties are both females and reaching ole age of 15 yrs. Golden G stands for the Golden Girls!!! But we luv boy doggies too. I pet sit for my neighbors and they are the ones who suggested I offer my services out. They will be my best references. I cared for fish, hamsters, bunny's and even pet chickens. Luv them all. Can't watch animal kingdom, even though its nature, breaks my heart. I love furry babies and could not even imagine life without them. Luv luv 💓

About: I've had cats my entire life, from childhood through adulthood. Sadly, I do not have any pets of my own at the moment (still recovering from losing my 14-year-old dog), but I'd love to watch yours! I have experience with senior cats, diabetic cats, asthmatic cats, kittens - and my sister is a vet, so she is always on call if I have questions (and she has five cats and two dogs herself).

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.

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: 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.

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.

I had a great experience with this sitter! They took such good care of my puppy Bear, and I could tell he was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. Bear is still young and full of energy, but they were very patient, attentive, and made sure he got plenty of care and attention. They also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Bear up, he was happy and relaxed, which showed me he had a great time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again for Bear! 🐾

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.

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. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!

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.

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!

About: Hi! I’m Meredith, and I’m so excited to meet you and your furry family members! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide them with the care and attention they deserve. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and love. My own dog is a senior diabetic, so I’m comfortable administering insulin injections, giving oral medications, and following detailed care routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, especially when they have special needs. I recently moved back to the Venice/Sarasota area after living in Orlando for the past four years. I’m a licensed esthetician and own my own lash business, but since I’m just getting established here again, my schedule is very flexible. That means I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or pet sitting, and I can spend quality one-on-one time with your pet instead of rushing from appointment to appointment. When your pet is with me, you can expect lots of love, attention, photo updates, and dependable care. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away, giving you complete peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! 🐾🤍 I’m currently a part-time lash tech I I just moved to the area so I have plenty of free time at the momentI take them on daily walks make sure they get plenty of their energy out Creating a safe and trusting environment is my top priority. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to let them get comfortable at their own pace and stick to their normal routine as closely as possible. I always treat pets with patience, kindness, and respect, making sure they feel secure while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. While I may not have years of professional experience, I have cared for dogs for friends and families and always treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I’m on summer break and have lots of free time and flexibility. I’m available during weekdays, especially during the day, but I can also do evenings or nights if needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making time to care for pets is something I genuinely look forward to! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, walking times, and special instructions carefully so pets can stay happy and stress-free. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision, and I always make sure they have a clean, safe environment. I also respect my client’s home and treat both their pets and space with care and responsibility.

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 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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15. I have also volunteered in animal shelters when I was younger. Before Rover, I was on the site Doggy Vay Cay serving many clients. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I had a family dog, which passed away 3 years ago along with my cat passing away years ago, therefore I love being around animals I will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I will play tug of war, give them treats if need be, and run around with them. At this time, I will not be taking care of pets in my own home, but hopefully in the future, I will. I treat animals with respect, as if they were my own loving one.

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.

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.

Haley has been my constant companion since my husband died. She is getting old and is anxious around other dogs so I needed a pet sitter without other dogs or young kids. Ray and his son took great care of Haley, sent me daily texts and photos, took her for walks and rides and I think that she enjoyed staying with them. I will definetely board Haley with Ray again.

Morgan was great! My TuckerBoone was well cared for and came back very happy. She stayed in communication with me and sent pictures while I was out of the country. We had a nice meet and greet a week before my departure. I felt very secure leaving my buddy with Morgan and her family. Clean safe environment for my TuckerBoone. Very happy with the experience and will be using her again. Thank you Morgan!

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.

Wonderful communication and care on a very last minute booking. Didn't have to worry at all because my normally shy pup seemed to immediately snuggle in and love Yvette

Jake was treated as a member of the family! He snuggled with and was loved on by the kiddos. Suzanne gave him fresh air time in the yard, feed him and gave him healthy treats as we requested. He loved the family and time there. He really didn’t want to leave?. Hopefully she will keep Jake again. We highly recommend Suzanne!

I liked that Jade invited us over the day before we dropped off Bella. She asked if I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her. I did. When I picked Bella up, she was not stressed at all. I believe all went well! Jade gave Bella a Bath. I paid Jade for that and gave her a tip. I will have Jade dog sit again if I need her.

We used Marianna war 3 night overnight boarding while my wife and I were away on a trip. The setting was perfect with a fenced in backyard and POOL, and she had her dog Phoebe to help Keep Abby company. she took her for walks, send us pictures and videos of her stay, and was very communicative of Abby‘s progress. Abby enjoyed the stay and we would highly recommend Mariana for either a day or overnight boarding stay. Tom D

Stephany came very highly reviewed and for good reason! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process from booking through pick up and took fantastic care of our dog. She didn't miss a day of photos and provided consistent updates, which is always a great relief when entrusting someone to care for your loved one. She provide Rex his own space so that he could have quiet and solitude when needed, but also ample play and outdoor time. Rex left a happy and healthy boy. Can't recommend her enough!

Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.

Linda did an excellent job with Bogie. I booked last minute due to hurricane Milton messing up our original plans. We needed to get out to a wedding in MN. I was nervous leaving him with someone I just met, and Linda made me feel that all was fine with daily pictures and notes. Thank you. Jean P

Nicholas was so awesome with my skittish girl. She takes a while to warm up to people but he didn’t give up and gained her trust quickly on our weekend away. He shared so many photos and videos to keep our minds at ease. Great sitter!!!!
