About: Hi, I’m Hannah — a lifelong lover of animals big or small, furry or feathered, shy or spirited! I have a B.S. in Zoology from Michigan State University and years of hands-on experience caring for animals in a multitude of environments. I gained experience at home with two beloved family dogs before working as a pet sitter, walker, and trainer around my neighborhood. From there, I volunteered to care for both cats and dogs at Help From My Friends Pet Crisis Center in Michigan and at Crazy Horse Rescue Ranch in California. So whether it’s feeding, cleaning, or just providing a little extra love, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, needs, and temperaments. Now in Sarasota, I’m excited to offer attentive pet care services to local families and community members. I’m here to treat your pet like one of my own be it a daily walk, check-in, or overnight care. I am currently working part-time as a barista, so I have flexible availability starting in the afternoon to check-in, feed, and exercise your pets every day. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize routine, safety, and comfort. I follow your instructions closely from feeding schedules to medications to walks or quiet time so your pet feels secure and at ease. I’m mindful of your home and always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I also keep things clean and organized and love to send updates and photos so that you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
“Christine was awesome and we can't say enough good things about her. We received daily pictures and updates during our time away and she was extremely helpful with our older, 17-year-old, cat, as well as with our two 9-month-old kittens. Christine was very responsive to our texts, and we will continue to book her as our caretaker when we are away.”
About: Welcome to my home-based dog boarding experience, where your pup becomes part of the family! I can offer a huge fenced-in yard perfect for safe play, exercise, and outdoor fun. Overnight boarding is available for potty-trained pets, and dog walking can be included as part of their stay. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I strive to provide loving, individualized care for every guest. Solitary boarding accommodations are also available upon request for pets who do best in their own space (additional fee may apply). Because my home includes elementary-age children, all pets must be child-friendly. Your dog will be cared for by me and Melody — our lovable, mischievous 1-year-old rescue pup! Pet care is naturally built into our daily routine because animals are a big part of my home and family life. There is always plenty of love, attention, and activity to go around. Dogs in my care enjoy regular outdoor time in our large, fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules tailored to their needs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I attend to other responsibilities during the day, I ask that your pet is crate or kennel comfortable to ensure their safety while we are away. Pets staying in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of supervised outdoor play in our large fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules based on your pet’s routine, and lots of affection and companionship throughout the day.
About: As someone who likes to travel, I know the anxiety of being away from your beloved pet. I myself have a rescue cat and older dog. I have also dog sat for family members; ensuring walks, vet visits, and all other needs were taken care. I love animals. While your away, I'll make sure to care for them like your not even away. :D

“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 am an animal lover of all kinds. I have owned animals for 20+ years and would love to help you take care of yours. I work from home full time Monday-Friday. I am available to help care for your pets when the need arises. I do not have pets anymore, but miss them dearly - I would love to help you take care of yours. I live in a 2nd floor condo with a lot of green space & walking paths for outdoor time! Love to go on walks and they will have plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. I also have a lanei if they want to enjoy the sunshine & relax.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”

“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.”
About: I'm new to Rover.com as a pet sitter, but I have a lifetime of experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

“Wonderful walker who was chill around my energetic Golden and was able to manage his excitement.

I’ll make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of attention—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe, love on them and will be their fill in mommy until you return. ;) I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility as this is my only job at the moment. I am off during the summers so I enjoy working with animals. During the school year I’m a school counselor. I have flexibility with the job as I’m able to leave for a lunch break/check on your pup. Also, my counselor hours are 8:15-3:30. I am in early and off early to be able to check on your animals. *** I will be in town for the holidays :) I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them if it helps them feel more comfortable. That is not a requirement though. I prefer going to your home only because the animals tend to do better in their own home. However, that is not required.

My work schedule is flexible and I can go by your place in the morning and evening and for a quick check in during the afternoon if needed or can easily stay at your place if needed to stay overnight At my home we don’t let our cats outside to protect them from wild animals outside like alligators and in other homes I would not let someone’s dog outside loose unless in a fenced yard otherwise I would have them on a leash.
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 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: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was 10. I’ve owned and trained three dogs of my own and regularly helped family members by house sitting and caring for their pets. I have extensive experience with walks, drop-ins, and in-home care, including feeding routines, exercise, bathing, basic training reinforcement, and cleanup. I’m especially comfortable providing extra patience and attention for senior dogs. I also have plenty of cat care experience, including feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and lots of affection. I treat every pet like family and prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets happy and relaxed in their own homes. *Bonus* I have a lot of experience with “reactive” dogs! My own puppy dog is reactive and we’ve had to navigate alot of that but we always persevere! With that said I love ALL dogs and can work with anything that gets thrown at me! I have a very flexible schedule , working from home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m an early riser, so no time is too early for me! .

I make sure all food, medication, and routines are followed exactly as directed, and I treat the home with respect—keeping it tidy and secure while you’re away. I also stay alert for any changes in behavior or health and communicate promptly with the owner if needed. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.
“How lucky we are that we found Alina. Our Cockapoo, Honey, does not prefer to walk with a stranger when she cannot still view our house. Adina was firm and lifted her up for a little way and then put her down onto the pavement and with encouragement got Honey to finish the walk. In the past, Honey was scared to go to the dog park and if she went there she growled at other dogs. Adina has gotten her to feel secure and enjoy going there. This is a huge change and is expanding our dog’s activities.”
About: I recently relocated to Sarasota, FL from Boston after many years of caring for pets back home. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have had my own pets for over 20 years, giving me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I currently share my home with two cats and a dog, so I’m familiar with the daily joys and responsibilities of pet care. Over the years, I’ve also pet-sat for friends, neighbors, family, and colleagues, caring for their cats and dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. I specialize in thoughtful, loving care for pets of all ages and personalities—from playful puppies to senior dogs, and curious kittens to shy adult cats. I also volunteer as a cat socializer at a local animal shelter, helping nervous or anxious cats gain trust and confidence. ****While I’m new to Rover as a sitter, I’ve been a trusted pet caregiver outside the app for years and can provide references if needed. I’ve also used Rover myself as a pet parent, so I understand how important clear communication, respecting routines, and truly connecting with your pets are.**** Whether it’s a dog who loves long walks or a cat who needs a calm presence, I bring reliability, patience, and a deep love for animals to every booking. I have a very open and flexible schedule, which lets me give pets the time and attention they truly deserve. Working remotely throughout the day means I can easily accommodate pets who need extra companionship, custom routines, or even last-minute bookings. My dog and two cats keep me on a regular pet care rhythm—walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of interaction are already part of my daily life! I believe pets thrive when they can stay in their familiar environment, so I’m happy to care for them right in their home where they feel safest. I’m very respectful of each pet’s existing routine—whether that’s specific feeding times, walks, medication, or bedtime rituals- I do my best to keep everything consistent and stress-free. I offer both drop-in visits and overnight stays, depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick check-in for a midday walk or staying overnight for full-time companionship, I make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you can feel connected and confident every step of the way!!
About: I’ve worked with dogs of every age from puppy to senior. And I have taken classes with my own dog for basic behavior training, reactivity, and anxiety. I’m highly communicative and understand how important updates are when you’re away from your furry family member. You can expect prompt responses, regular photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving personalized care. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a quieter routine, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’m a teacher off for the summer so I have a pretty flexible schedule to make time to walk, play, and check on dogs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm environment and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate training, and household rules. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I provide plenty of affection, supervision, and positive attention while ensuring pets have a safe, clean environment. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout their stay or visit.
About: Hello! My name is Skylar Kerr and I am an Elementary Music teacher in Sarasota. I LOVE dogs, and being in a place where I can’t have a dog of my own yet has been hard. I am excited to get to love your dogs and play with them now too. Pet sitting is something I've done for many years and have grown up with 5 dogs of my own. I also have experience with dogs of all ages. From house sitting a 1 year old for two weeks, as well as helping to take care of my own 15 year old pup who I had to help go in and out to use the restroom and wake to make sure he eats. I love going for walks and know that some dogs need more patience than others, and some need more energy than others(LOTS MORE). I am excited and look forward to getting to play and bond with your puppies!! I am currently working full time so during the week I am available in the morning and afternoons to check in on your pups. And on the weekends have all the time to give them the love and activity they would need while you’re away! I live in a ground floor condo giving easy access for pups of all ages, as well as a large community area to walk around with lots of grass and open space. I can happily crate your dog if needed or give them the living room to lounge in while gone for short periods of time. And will happily continue whatever care your pets are used to in your own home!

“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!!!!”
“We had our pair of dogs stay with this family and they treated our dogs very nicely. A mature Golden retriever and a young and energetic aussie Sheppard. They exell at comunications, and are willing to go the extra mile. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Thank you so much Kari & Eric!! They took great care of our pup Nellie while we were on vacation. Plus she had so much fun with their dog Daisy. Really appreciate your help! It’s so wonderful to have you close by as a reliable sitter. We’ll be reaching out soon to schedule her next stay :) -Sarah & Devon”
“Oh my gosh—our fur babies had an absolute blast! Leslie’s home is honestly more fun than our own 😂. We’ve finally found our pups’ new vacation spot. They always have company, and every animal is treated like one of her own children. We felt completely at ease knowing they were so loved and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot recommend Katarina enough. Teddy unexpectedly developed GI issues that required a strict diet and extra care, and Katarina handled everything with such patience and professionalism. She kept us updated constantly, giving us total peace of mind. We are so grateful for the extra effort she put in during a difficult situation—she is a true 'dog person' and a total lifesaver. Highly recommend! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“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”
“Thanks Morgan, We are Very happy with the care and attention you provided our pup. Now that he is home he seems a little bit lost as we cannot provide him with all the activity and interactions with other dogs he had while with you. Thank You for the great care you showed our dog Bean!!”
About: DOODLES ONLY PLEASE. I work from home. Had an Auzzie Doodle who lived over 15+ years and passed a year ago (in the profile picture). Dog friendly house - fenced in back yard. Primarily open to watch any kind of ...doodle. Doing it because I miss my old boy and have the time since I work from home. You and your doodle (and me) will be very happy. I'm available as I work from home and have always had a dog so I know how to bond quickly with them so they feel safe in my home. Like they were my own. Very calm environment. No other animals, no children. Just me and your dog. Nice neighborhood for long walks as needed.
“Meghan took such good care of Hudson! When he was picked up we could tell he was well cared for, happy, and tired out from all of the playing while we were gone :) she was also very accommodating when I realized that our flights were at a different time than I thought and agreed to have him early! We will definitely be re-booking!”
“Kathy was wonderful! Daily updates via email with pictures really helped put my mind at ease about leaving my babies for the first time. They even got a stocking and a toy on Christmas Day! I will definitely use Kathy again and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs for many years and have plenty of experience caring for different personalities, sizes and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets over the years, and I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe and loving environment for them. I’m patient, attentive and responsible, and I understand how important routines, affection and supervision are for a dog’s well-being. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so each pet receives personalized care and attention during their stay. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’m home most of the time and enjoy maintaining a calm and structured environment with regular walks, playtime and rest. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time so I can focus on each pet individually and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for during their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I provide a clean, calm and secure home environment and always supervise interactions carefully. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks and any special instructions from the owner. I prefer caring for well-behaved adult dogs and only accept a small number of pets at a time to ensure personalized attention and a low-stress environment for everyone.
“Lucca our 11-year old cavalier has never had a pet sitter that wasn’t immediate family. Kelli offered to meet before our vacation and we were comfortable from then on. She asked extensive questions about his care & handled his somewhat complicated medication and food schedule like a pro. So happy to have found Kelli. She is very trustworthy and gave excellent updates every day. Lucca was so loved while we were gone & his transition back home after 5 days was seamless. I will be contacting her soon to help 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!!!!!!!”
