“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”
“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!”
“Rooster had a wonderful time with Nathalie and his doggy friends. She sent plenty of photos and updates so we knew he was enjoying himself. Such a relief to have a comfortable home for him when we travel!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”
“Leslie was so thoughtful and attentive with our pug. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent lots of photos. He got to spend the weekend playing in the yard with her sweet pug Patrick and we could not be happier to know he was in good hands. Will definitely book her again in the future and recommend to those looking for sitter!”
“Nicholas is very friendly and communicative. He sent regular daily updates via photo and video of my cat. My cat warmed up to the space within a couple days and was way more comfortable there than we would’ve been at a kennel. Highly recommend for a safe and comfortable place for your pet!”
“Yeini watched my dogs for the first time. She made sure to update me multiple times through the day. I am super happy with her services. My 2 malteses looked happy when I picked them up!”
“Lindsay is an awesome dog sitter. I had to leave the state for a couple of weeks and was perfectly comfortable having my “kid” at her house. It’s nice because she works out of her home and do you know about the dog isn’t love for long periods of time. I will definitely use her again !”
“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Merve was absolutely wonderful with our dog — hands down the best experience we’ve had with a sitter. She was always prompt with her communications, took the time to understand all the unique things our dog needs for care, and was super warm and caring for our dog. Plus, she consistently proactively provided picture and video updates so we knew all was good. Would highly recommend Merve!”
“Sharon was amazing with my smallish dog! She sent me regular updates including photos and videos and really made Dolly feel at home in her house. Thank you Sharon! We will definitely be repeat guests”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was my second time leaving Yogi with Asya. She communicated well, sends awesome photos, and it looks like Yogi has a great time! I will continue to ask them to take care of Yogi when I'm away.”

“Kim obviously cares about our precious fur babies. She took excellent care of my cat while I was away. She paid attention to his needs and made recommendations based on his behavior which made all the difference in his well being. I would highly recommend Kim when you need someone that seriously cares for your pet!”
“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”

“Nicole was awesome. She handled every one of my care requirements. She connected very well with my cat, he's usually slow to warm up to new people, but he warmed up to her right away. She was reliable, and easy to communicate with the whole time I was away. Highly recommend.”
“Stephany takes very good care of my cats and they have warmed up to her beautifully, even my skittish siamese, Cava! She leaves detailed updates and takes really great pics of my girls enjoying her visits.”
“Our Coco thoroughly enjoyed her vacation with Stephanie, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Her home was lovely and perfect for our cat. Stephanie kept us updated daily on Coco and how she was adjusting and also sent daily pictures. We felt very confident in leaving our "baby" with Stephanie. Coco requires extra feedings and medications and Stephanie was happy to accommodate us with those extra needs. If you're looking for someone dependable and caring Stephanie is your person!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life, and i naturally have very calm energy for cats who don’t trust just anyone 🤍 I absolutely love cats and would be honored to take care of your baby!
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and currently care for my one-eyed cat, Ike, who brings me endless joy. From playful kittens to senior cats, I understand the unique personalities and needs our feline friends have. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping their routine steady, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: Aside from being a lifelong pet owner myself, I have over 20 years of experience caring for all pets. I’ve always had a natural love for animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I also have experience caring for brachycephalic (flat-faced) dogs and understand the extra care and attention they may require. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🫶🏼 I’m a stay-at-home mom, and with my children now in school, I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets. I’m available during the day for walks and drop-in visits, which makes me a great fit for pets who need some extra attention, exercise, or a potty break while their owners are at work. I’m happy to provide consistent, dependable care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages during visits.

About: I have had cats throughout my entire life and have cared for many different personalities, ages, and needs. Cats are my favorite animals, and I especially love the process of earning their trust and learning what makes each individual cat feel comfortable and safe. I currently have cats of my own, including a blind cat, and I have also cared for a cat with asthma as well as cats with various illnesses and special care needs. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, gentle, and respectful of a cat’s boundaries. I am comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, companionship, monitoring behavior, and following specific care instructions. I understand that some cats are social while others need more time and space, and I always let them warm up to me at their own pace.

I know every dog is different so I customize each experience so that it’s right for your pet. If your dog likes to run, I’ll run with them. If they like to play fetch, I’ll play with them. Whatever your dog needs, I’ll be there for them. I’ve had many dogs with different personalities so I’m used to changing my methods to keeping them happy and healthy. I work flexible hours, with only a couple days on site vs. remote, so I have the ability to spend time with your pets and give them the love they need. I provide care in clients home. I’m currently only doing dog walks and drop in visits; no overnight stays right now. This may be an option in the future.

“Stephany was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving Franklin with her and she helped me out in a last minute emergency! I would recommend her highly for anyone who needs a loving safe place for their dog!”
“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!”
“This was the first time I took a chance to reached out to someone here on Rover to watch my dog, Noah. Was not sure I was going to take a chance even after reading all the great reviews that Kinga had. I am so glad we did because from the pictures she sent me throughout the day, it was obvious she totally spoiled him, but more importantly, she treated him as if he were her dog. I have already put in a request to have her watch him again.”

“We left our 4 month old puppy with Charlotte and Randy. It was the first time he’d been away from us. They were wonderful with him and we highly recommend them.”
“Christal watched our puppy for our first time away from him and she did an incredible job! She was so accommodating and reassuring. We could tell she gave him much attention and exercise. He was actually excited to see her and sad when he was picked up and had to leave. I would recommend her to anyone! If only we had more than 5 stars!”

“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“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!”
“Lori has always been so great with Zoey. She’s is up to date with how she’s doing and sending daily photos of Zoey. A quiet, chilled environment which Zoey enjoys :)”
“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!”
“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.”
“This was my second time leaving Yogi with Asya. She communicated well, sends awesome photos, and it looks like Yogi has a great time! I will continue to ask them to take care of Yogi when I'm away.”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning and can help reinforce basic training, potty routines, and good manners. I’m also attentive to senior pets who may need extra care, slower walks, medication, or simply a little more patience and comfort. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. im currently a working part time mom who is pregnant with a 3 year old as well but my 3 yr old is in school so im available during the day after 1 and at night time i have a fenced yard! but with my 3 year old id prefer if i was able to have your babies in my home to make things easier
“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!!!!!!!”
“Pamela is the best sitter we could ask for. Every time we go on vacation, Nico gets one too. He’s always so relaxed and happy being with Pamela and her family , you can tell he’s genuinely loved and cared for, not just watched. We never worry when he’s with her, which as dog parents is honestly the biggest gift. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Nico (and we!) are always so excited for his next stay with her.”
