“My pup loves staying with Kim and Glen! She gets tons of play time outside, and also lots of couch time and snuggles with Glen. She’s always such a happy girl when I come back from trips and I love the report card and treats they send her home with.”
“My dog is super high anxiety and he was so calm around Lisbeth on the scariest day of the year (4th of July). Normally we can’t leave Richie home alone because of his separation anxiety but with it being the 4th of July, he definitely couldn’t be alone as he is terrified of fireworks. Lisbeth was great and has such a calming energy about her that she was able to keep Richie chill all night long. I would recommend her to literally anyone. She’s great with animals; they just love her and you can tell and she loves them too!!”
“Linda and Brian cared for our Rue girl for two weeks while we were out of the country. It’s impossible to put into words how much we appreciate the love and care that was extended to our baby. She made fast friends with their sweet dog, Carmi, and Linda sent daily pictures or videos showing them having so much fun together and then napping together from exhaustion. Linda made the time to meet us well in advance of caring for Rue and really listened to what Rue needed, including walks, being brushed, the ability to have her crate to sleep or take breaks in when she wanted, and following her feeding schedule. Linda allowed Rue free rein in her home, and even made time for her to relax on the lanai to people and bird watch; something she loves to do at home. Rue had an amazing time, and this allowed my husband and I to really enjoy our vacation knowing she was having the time of her life too. We wholeheartedly recommend Linda for pet sitting services. I don’t think you’ll find anyone as wonderful as Linda and Brian out there! (Thank you so much for everything, Linda!)”
“Nancy made our little one feel right at home. Her place is quiet and cozy. Since she only sits one dog at a time, we knew our anxious doggo would be perfectly happy staying with her. She sent us pictures and videos of Koah as well which made us feel comfortable leaving him for the long weekend. We will definitely work with Nancy again!”
“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“Ranae is amazing! I will definitely be a repeat client. She was very good at making sure our baby was comfortable and happy. She also checked in with me at least once per day, with photos, to let me know how things were going. I highly recommend her.”
“Our dog Trixie is deaf and we don’t like to leave her alone for long periods of time, so we hired Stephanie and Elizabeth to care for her while we went away for the day. Trixie received excellent care. Both women greeted us in the parking lot, and asked extensive questions regarding her care. They sent some photos and updates during her stay. We were very impressed and will definitely hire them again.”
“Eve was so wonderful. She kept us updated with pictures throughout our pups’ stay with her. She took our pup on many walks & was very responsive. She treated our dog like it was her own & we appreciate that immensely!”
“Thank you so much for the wonderful care and for looking after my Abby. You are excellent I was absolutely delighted and felt completely at ease. Thank you for every photo and video update so I could see how she was doing. Now Abby has a place to spend her vacations, too! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 She misses her friends.🐶”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She is so kind and loving. During the entire stay, she took the time to share pictures of my Brunello several times a day. She is extremely quick to respond at any communication. I felt at peace during the whole time. And when I picked up my baby, he was full of joy and relaxed which showed me how much he enjoyed his stay with Michelle. We found our loving sitter for our baby ans we re so grateful !”
“Joan has been an absolute angel for our sweet doggie. Jagger has some separation anxiety and nervousness around new people but he took to Joan immediately. Joan has been flexible, understanding, kind, and extremely helpful. The pictures she sends are not only helpful but so fun! She truly has a blast with him and that means the world to us. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone better. We are definitely returning customers!”
“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!”

“Nicholas and his family took great care of Suzy! They sent frequent updates and pictures and gave us peace of mind she was safe and happy while we were away. Will definitely recommend and book again!”
“Karlee was very easy to work with and great at communicating. My pup felt comfortable with her right away and I could tell by her other pup that she was good with dogs and knew what he needed. She sent me pictures and videos at least once a day making me feel very secure. I will def book again!”
“This was our first time using Rover or a pet sitting service and Lori was great. She sent updates and pictures daily and we could see how our dog was happy and well cared for. We've used many kennel and pet resorts over the years but none of them could compare with the attention and care given our dog. We're happy to recommend Lori and will definitely have our dog stay with her in the future.”
“Very nice people. They took great care of my fur baby and kept me posted with text messages and pictures while they watched him over a three day period. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Alicia and our 11 year old dog had previously been going to another lady for several years. His first night with Alicia he was a little sad and unsure but he acclimated quickly. Alicia was very responsive to us when we reached out and made him feel safe and secure.”

“We are so grateful and appreciate them for their wonderful service as always. People like them, we can trust and relied on for help when we are away from our furry family. Thanks again guys.”
“Bailey was a WONDERFUL cat sitter. She checked up on my two cats once a day, feeding them, filling their water bowl, cleaning the litter, and giving my one friendly cat lots of love. I asked if she would send a picture of them each day so I wouldn't worry as much about them. She went above and beyond, sending 8 or 9 pictures and videos each day and also sending full reports on how they were doing. I get very anxious when I'm away from the kitties, and her detailed updates made me feel so much better about being away for the holidays.”
“We are so glad we found Catherine! She did daily drop-ins to care and feed our two cats while we went away. She was so good to them and they really liked her too! She kept in communication with me everyday. We highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of every farm animal from horses to chickens. My sister said I was like the Pied Piper. Animals would just follow me around. I have trained therapy dogs and one service dog. I love all animals and they love me. I often say I'd rather spend time with dogs than people. (I like people, too) I was a certified teacher for 38 years and just recently retired. Oh, kids like me, too. I'm currently retired and spend a great deal of my time at home. I teach music lessons one afternoon a week but other than that your dog will have lots of attention.

I live in a very shaded area of the historic part of a quiet neighborhood. . I have a neutered husky that loves dogs from 4 to 150 pounds.
“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.
“Thank you so much Jessica! You were wonderful in greeting my puppy and keeping her active and safe. She had a great experience and came home happy and tired. Thank you also for the care in helping me with my car battery giving up on me today- you were very caring.”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner and animal lover my entire life, and I bring that same level of care, patience, and affection to every pet I look after. I’ve also raised a happy, healthy, deeply loved human to adulthood—so nurturing, attentiveness, and responsibility are second nature to me. I no longer have any pets of my own, and I currently offer private, One-Of-A-Kind, VIP Boarding for one family at a time—up to two dogs—under 40 pounds each. I provide a peaceful, clean, safe, loving, sweet, and genuinely caring spa-like environment. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for, understood, cherished & loved. I work from home with a flexible schedule—so your pup will receive constant, attentive care throughout the day. I can board up to two dogs at a time from the same family. I take them out every 2 hours—or more if needed—for walks, fresh air, playtime in one of the three beautiful surrounding parks, off leash time in the small—but secure—fenced outdoor area, or a stroll along my secluded, residential section of the Manatee Riverwalk. Your pup can stay right by my side throughout my workday if they prefer, or enjoy free movement around the apartment and time on the expansive waterfront terrace overlooking the beautiful Manatee River. I leave for only two hours each day—on weekdays only—and I’ll be sure your pup is exercised and tired out before I duck out briefly. Your pup can nap comfortably in my home during my short time away, and on weekends I donor have to leave at all. We have extensive places to walk and play right in my large, beautiful apartment grounds & surrounding parks and walkways. The large apartment terrace is also a lovely place to play, sunbathe and watch the river below. I follow all of your specific guidance and directions, including the precise administration of any medicines, supplements or special food. I make sure all details are constantly—and correctly—attended to, and I check in with you throughout each day sending daily updates, pictures and videos. Looking forward to meeting you & your baby! ♥️🐶🐾♥️ Surrounded by three expansive parks & the newest, residential-only, section of the Manatee Riverwalk, my large, beautiful apartment is calm and serene—truly a spa-like environment. Soft lighting and glowing salt lamps in every room create a warm, peaceful atmosphere, while gentle, spa-style music plays in the background throughout most of the day. It’s a very natural, organic space—unusually calm, grounding, and intentionally designed to feel relaxing and safe. I live alone—with no pets of my own—and I will be the only human in the home while your dog is staying with me. Your specific directions will be followed to the tee at all times: preferences, exercise, play time, bed time, food, treats, medicine & love. Your dog will have a serene, low-stress environment with my full attention, making it an ideal space for comfort, relaxation, personalized care and all the love and cuddles they want. Looking forward to caring for your angel! ♥️🐶🐾♥️

“My pup loves staying with Kim and Glen! She gets tons of play time outside, and also lots of couch time and snuggles with Glen. She’s always such a happy girl when I come back from trips and I love the report card and treats they send her home with.”
“Eve was so wonderful. She kept us updated with pictures throughout our pups’ stay with her. She took our pup on many walks & was very responsive. She treated our dog like it was her own & we appreciate that immensely!”
“Thank you so much for the wonderful care and for looking after my Abby. You are excellent I was absolutely delighted and felt completely at ease. Thank you for every photo and video update so I could see how she was doing. Now Abby has a place to spend her vacations, too! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 She misses her friends.🐶”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She is so kind and loving. During the entire stay, she took the time to share pictures of my Brunello several times a day. She is extremely quick to respond at any communication. I felt at peace during the whole time. And when I picked up my baby, he was full of joy and relaxed which showed me how much he enjoyed his stay with Michelle. We found our loving sitter for our baby ans we re so grateful !”
“Joan has been an absolute angel for our sweet doggie. Jagger has some separation anxiety and nervousness around new people but he took to Joan immediately. Joan has been flexible, understanding, kind, and extremely helpful. The pictures she sends are not only helpful but so fun! She truly has a blast with him and that means the world to us. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone better. We are definitely returning customers!”
“Nicholas and his family took great care of Suzy! They sent frequent updates and pictures and gave us peace of mind she was safe and happy while we were away. Will definitely recommend and book again!”
“Karlee was very easy to work with and great at communicating. My pup felt comfortable with her right away and I could tell by her other pup that she was good with dogs and knew what he needed. She sent me pictures and videos at least once a day making me feel very secure. I will def book again!”
“This was our first time using Rover or a pet sitting service and Lori was great. She sent updates and pictures daily and we could see how our dog was happy and well cared for. We've used many kennel and pet resorts over the years but none of them could compare with the attention and care given our dog. We're happy to recommend Lori and will definitely have our dog stay with her in the future.”
“Audrey and Karson were amazing with our dog, Panda! He’s over 100 pounds and a big, strong boy, but they handled him so well. Even though he’s almost 10 years old, he still acts like a puppy, and they were incredibly patient and attentive with him. They watched him for two nights, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. It’s not always easy finding someone confident with a large dog, but they exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend Audrey and Karson and hope to use them again in the future!”
“Rebel had a good time and enjoyed having other dogs around him. We usually like to see where our dog sleeps, eats, and plays, but were not allowed inside the sitters home. This was a little disappointing to us but we do understand that it may be disruptive to the other dogs. For that reason, we cannot accurately rate the home environment. We truly appreciate Hope taking care of Rebel while we were away.”
“Robert and Topher took great care of our dog, and even sent us pictures and updates. Will definitely book with them again in the future and have already recommended them to friends.”
“Excellent!! Charlie and Lisa were flexible and were easy to work with around our schedule. They took careful care of our 12-year-old Parson Russell Terrier. We highly recommend their services, and we will schedule their care for our next visit to the Bradenton area.”
“We love Candice! Our girl is always so happy when she stays with her. Candice is wonderful with her and keeps us updated with messages and pictures/videos during the stay.”
About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs my entire life! I’ve been a reliable dog owner and watcher for friends, family and neighbors for years. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and personalities ranging from Shih Tzu to Husky to Doodle to Aussie. I currently stay at home and am able to provide a lot of undivided attention, walks, and love for your fur baby! My schedule is flexible and I am able to board and watch your pups as needed. I have a shy mini Aussie (7) that is able to freely roam our home and will keep your pup company! Our yard is not fenced, but we are able to go on multiple walks a day if needed and enjoy our community dog park to get extra wiggles out.
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“Calvin, Ella and their family took such amazing care of Bo! They went above and beyond to make sure that Bo was comfortable and gave him so much love and attention. They are incredibly kind and caring people. They sent us pictures and videos, and were so communicative while we were away. We can’t recommend this family enough. We will definitely book with them again!”
