“Nathalie took great care of our two Chihuahuas for 10 days, including one who is elderly. Nathalie took lots of extra care and attention to make sure he was eating well. She sent pictures and videos every day. When I picked the dogs up they seemed calm and not at all stressed. I trust Nathalie with my babies - she and her family are just wonderful.”
“Second time my dog has stayed with Fran and it was another wonderful experience. She takes such good care and I love the photo updates she sends. Thank you for taking care of Madi!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“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!!!!”
“Denise and Brett were amazing with Xena. Upon drop off, both asked questions regarding Xena’s specific needs, barriers, etc to make sure she was comfortable and “at home” . I would highly recommend and will be using again in the future!”
“Very responsive with booking, even with the short notice that we had. She sent multiple videos and pictures of Sophie throughout her stay. We felt extremely comfortable leaving her for the weekend and will definitely use Debbie again!”
“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”
“Leslie is truly a dog person with a warm, calm spirit, a perfect match for my sensitive, people-loving Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Max! Usually Max will go on hunger strikes when I leave him. Not with Leslie. She kept him feeling loved and busy. Her communication was outstanding, far exceeding my expectations. Leslie is the best!!”
“Jennifer is lovely and a very caring person for my two young Havanese. She sent us pictures throughout the day. We felt confident leaving them with her. We had a video chat first and met her in person when dropping the dogs off. She showed us around where they would be playing and introduced us to her young daughter. She and the dogs seemed to hit it off.”
“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”
“Leslie was outstanding - again. Our little sweet Lily is so timid and is very attached to her family. But we are not at all concerned when we leave her with Leslie. She takes great care of Lily and tries to make her feel at home and extra special. Book Leslie- you will not be disappointed.”
“Cindy and Steve are very nice and accommodating, and have a great environment for your dog! They sent us a picture every day, which helped us not miss our dog quite as much. The next time I need doggy boarding, I will look for Cindy and Steve first.”

“Ying has been so incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the entirety of this process. I needed help taking care of my father’s cat while he was in the hospital, and Ying went ABOVE and beyond. She displayed nothing but professionalism and kindness, and showed so much love to my sweet furr-sibling during this tough time. We received photos and videos of her time spent, and truly felt the love she put in to everything she did. We couldn’t have asked for anything or anyone better!!”
“Tara did such a great job with Annabel’s care. She was thorough, conscientious, and went above and beyond to make sure my kitty had everything she needed. He communication was detailed and prompt. I will hope she is available when Annabel needs care in the future.”
“Carolina once again was a wonderful cat sitter. She provided timely detailed updates and photos after each visit. You can tell she loves animals which is comforting. I’d recommend her highly to anyone!”
“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!”

From my years of experience, including caring for my own beloved British Blue, Lulabelle and my orange Tabby, Pumpkin I’ve learned that every cat deserves personalized care and a gentle touch.

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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Osprey
“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.”
“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!”
“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'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 near the ocean in Sarasota, FL and I'm happy to travel to 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.🐾🏖☀️💞

“Denise and Brett were wonderful with Winnie! I scheduled a day of daycare prior to a boarding booking we have next week, just to get Winnie comfortable. We walked in and they had setup a dog bed, toys, treats etc. Winnie is an anxious girl and it takes her time to warm up, however, within 5 minutes of leaving, I received a photo of her on her back getting belly scratches :) she’s looking forward to her stay 4th of July weekend!”
“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: Been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I’ve had cats and digs growing up my entire life! I love to be active and walk and have free time and would love to be around animals I am Flexible all week and weekend when in town. I do travel often. Want to stay busy when I am in town and love animals! I can do whatever is needed. I have a fenced in yard and crate of my own. I only crate mine now when needed but that is not often as he is older. I only have one of my dogs with me at my home as my other dog is with my mother in my home town.
“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.

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.

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!!

I typically work 8 hours at a time, 5 days a week. When I am not home I hardly leave the house so I can stay with your pup or kitty every other hour of the day. I am willing to do whatever will make your pet the most comfortable. If your pet just needs their basic needs met and isn't huge on strangers, I can give them their space. If they need to cuddle up to me in bed to sleep comfortably, I welcome that!

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 near the ocean in Sarasota, FL and I'm happy to travel to 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.🐾🏖☀️💞
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!
About: You can trust that your furry family is in the best hands! As a loving cat and dog owner for over 23 years, I've gained extensive, hands-on experience. My own sweet dog Ruby and beloved cat Frenzie, both crossed the rainbow bridge at nearly 18 years old, giving me profound expertise and patience with senior and special-needs animals. I am reliable, compassionate, and ready to spoil your pets rotten. I currently homeschool my daughter and have a lot of availability. If I am not home, my animal-loving husband, who works from home, often is. I have a screened in lanai where they can bask in the sun. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood, perfect for walks around the area. I am available at your home for long or short walks, as well as time to love on and keep your pet company.
“I’m so thankful and grateful Danielle was available to care for my pup baby while I was out on vacation. They bonded very well and she’s very friendly, loving and caring. Danielle’s very reliable and trusted. Highly recommended wish I could add her to my favorite walker list.”

“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!!!!”
“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”
“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”
“Cindy and Steve are very nice and accommodating, and have a great environment for your dog! They sent us a picture every day, which helped us not miss our dog quite as much. The next time I need doggy boarding, I will look for Cindy and Steve first.”
“Leslie watched our sweet Remi girl who was only 13 weeks old. She hadn’t had all of her shots yet, so we were nervous to board her publicly. Taking her to Leslie, she was able to socialize with not just her two dogs but with tortoises, a parrot, and chickens! Our puppy also discovered that she loves swimming Leslie allowed her to swim in their pool. It felt like Remi was welcomed into a family and not boarded up all weekend! Thank you Leslie!”
“Meghan is very reliable and trustworthy. My dog is a chihuahua and had not been around big dogs in a home before. She came back without a scratch. I loved the videos Meghan sent and I could tell she enjoyed Lilas visit and Lila was taken care of.”
“Morgan is an amazing dog sitter! It’s so nice to have someone that spends their life taking care of dogs watching over your fur kids and not someone just trying to fit the dogs into their life. As happy as my dogs were to see us, we think they were sad to leave Morgan’s house and the new buddies they met and played with!! We highly recommend Morgan!!”
“My golden retriever Toby came back happy and well-rested! Marianna is super nice and quick to communicate, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time. Highly recommended!”
“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!!!!!!!”
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.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!
“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. :)”
“Morgan took good care of my boy! I could tell from the daily pictures that he was doing fine throughout his 1 week stay. I highly recommend Morgan for overnight dog boarding.”
“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.”
“As usual Doris had a great time at Miss Kathy's house and practically didn't want to leave. We recently moved north to St Petersburg, but if I travel south, we'll be dropping Doris with Miss Kathy every time!!”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
“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.”
“Sierra is excellent. She's professional and accommodating. She loves animals and will take great care of your pet. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!”
