“Sadie went to Beth’s house for the weekend! She had fun and gets excited when she goes over there. Sadie & Snickers get along well, Beth is a great sitter, communicates and sends pics during her stay!”
“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.”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“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 💎”
“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!”
“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”
“Steve and Cindy took great care of our pup when we were away for the weekend! They sent adorable pics of the kids and dogs playing together. Our pup seemed right at home! Definitely will use them again!”
“My rescue Pom has major trust issues. Viktoryia did a great job of caring for her and gaining her trust. I would definitely recommend V. to anyone looking for a good spot for their furry friends. It’s so good to know I have a great spot for next time I need to find a Rover! Thank you Victoryia!”
“I was nervous the first time I used Rover but from my first meeting with Lindsey she put me at ease. My dog Finn loved her on sight and one of my. 2 cats came right up to her. Finn went to her house to stay for 4 nights and Lindsey came daily to take care of the kitties. She even brought in the mail while we were gone. Ever day she sent pictures and text messages to let us know how they were. By the time we came home Finn had more than made himself at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lindsey in the future.”
“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.”
“Team Stephany did a wonderful job boarding Penny! Good feedback daily and I could tell Penny was having a wonderful time with Minnie. Would highly recommend and will hopefully use their services in the future. Thank you!”
“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!!”
“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!!”
“Misty take care of Roxie & Skye and spoiled them with cudled. She periodically sent mea pictures of them while I was way for a weekend. I am certainly will have Misty to take care my pups again.”
“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!”
“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.”

“I can’t thank Sofia enough for being so flexible and accommodating. My plans changed unexpectedly, and I had to adjust the schedule for her visits, but she adapted without any issues and was incredibly helpful every step of the way. She kept me updated on my dog the entire time with photos and detailed notes, which made me feel so relieved and at ease. Since it was my first time using Rover, I was a little nervous, but Sofia made the whole experience wonderful. I honestly recommend her 100%! She is responsible, reliable, and truly committed to the pets she cares for. I will definitely book with her again! Thanks so much 💙”
“Briana was excellent! We were on vacation for almost a month and she was dropped in everyday to spend time with our cat 💜 She was punctual, great with communication and I could tell comet absolutely adored her. Would definitely use Briana again and would recommend her. Thank you again Briana 😊”
“This was our third time using Lindsey. The cats know her now so there’s zero concern about how they’ll be with us gone. We get regular updates and photos and it’s really reassuring to know we have someone we can trust.”
“Great sitter!! Pleasant. Communicative and personable. Very flexible with her schedule. Always checking in and checking out! — sent a lot of pictures. Highly recommended. Will use her again!”
“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.”
“After never having spent even one night alone in our Florida home, a family matter took us out of state and we had to leave our cat alone for 5 days/4 nights. We were very anxious to leave our kitty alone but felt confident all would be okay after meeting Carolina. She was on time for all visits, spent time with our shy kitty and gave us reports with pictures after every visit. We came home to a well-fed and content kitty --- and clean eating and litter areas. Would definitely recommend Carolina and hire again!”

“Kailea was very thorough in taking care of Bodhi, as well as extremely communicative and easy to work with. She clearly cared about Bodhi and his well being as soon as she met him. Would definitely book with her again!”
“We use Kathy whenever we go out of town and she is the best! Very reliable and easy to get ahold of. Our kitty, Benny, loves her and she sends great updates and pics! Thanks again Kathy!”
About: As a lifelong cat owner and former teacher, I speak fluent "feline." I’ve raised and cared for cats of all personalities, from playful, high energy kittens to sensitive, independent seniors. I understand that cats thrive on routine and consent, and I pride myself on reading their body language perfectly so they always feel safe and respected. Whether your cat loves interactive wand toy playtime, requires a meticulous litter box schedule, or needs a calm, patient presence to sit nearby and keep them company, I adapt entirely to their unique boundaries. I am also highly experienced with the gentle approach needed for senior cat care, including administering daily oral medications, tracking subtle appetite changes, and providing a stress free environment that keeps their routines perfectly intact.
“Nicole is a very caring person. She took care of my two cats like her own. She sent me the details of her daily visit to them. She also sent me the pictures of them. This is my first time using Rover so I was kind of nervous about it but she exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her. Nicole is the best sitter! Thank you so much!!”

“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!”
“So grateful to have had our Milo stay in her house. Communication was excellent, and her home—with its backyard—is very cozy. I 100% recommend Yeini for taking care of your pet! Agradecido por recibir a nuestro Milo. Comunicación muy buena y su casa, con patio, muy acogedora. Recomiendo 100% a Yeini por el cuidado de tu mascota.”
“Brianna was so great with Fin. He had a long traveling car to Sarasota and was exhausted. Lots of new places for him. She was very good with him which was such a relief for me, as I never left him with anyone before.”
“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!”
“Jewell is a jewel! She took perfect care of my 15 year-old 10 lb fog. She is attentive, understands dogs, caring, and even after our first visit, I know I can trust her with my little old soul Zorro completely.”
About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and bunnies, caretaking has always been second nature to me. As a former teacher, I am now leaning fully into my true passion, and bringing comfort and happiness to pets gives me so much genuine joy. Whether your family member is a high-energy pup, an independent cat, or a gentle senior who needs a patient touch and daily medication, I treat them with the exact same structure, love, and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to keep your furry best friends safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you're away! Because my other part-time commitments total only 6 hours a week, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time to focus entirely on caring for your pets!

This minimal schedule allows me to offer highly attentive, consistent care, adapt easily to your pet's normal routine, and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day! Whether welcoming a pet into my home or staying at yours, safety and clear structure are my top priorities. My home is a pet loving environment shared with my friendly dog and two cats. To ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable, I utilize sturdy pet gates to easily separate animals for quiet time or feeding, and I am more than happy to accommodate crating upon request. Because my part-time jobs take up only 6 hours a week, pets in my care receive constant supervision and a highly consistent routine. As a former educator, I am meticulous about following your exact instructions, maintaining strict safety boundaries, and keeping you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, respected, and thoroughly loved.

About: I’ve spent the last 15+ years caring for dogs — from my own family pets to friends’ and neighbors’ pups. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. When my family got a puppy five years ago, I helped with basic training and routines, so I understand the patience and consistency that takes. I’ve also cared for older dogs who needed a little extra attention, including giving medications and making sure they stayed comfortable and happy. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and treat every one like my own. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra love and playtime, I make sure each dog feels safe, cared for, and loved. I work from home as a graphic designer, which gives me a really flexible schedule. I love taking breaks throughout the day to get outside, enjoy some sunshine, and go for walks — and having a dog along makes it even better! It’s the perfect balance of work and fresh air, and I always make sure each walk or visit fits smoothly into my routine so your pup gets my full attention. When I’m visiting a client’s home, I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own familiar space. I take time to follow each pet’s usual routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. At home, I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet-friendly environment, which means visiting pups can enjoy fresh air and playtime when needed. My priority is always safety, consistency, and making sure every dog feels happy and relaxed.
“Nevaeh was great. Extremely reliable and consistent. She helped us for a week for morning and afternoon dog walking/feeding. She has a positive personality and our dog responded very well to her. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle was an awesome dog walker! She is very communicative and was great with my dog. She was very understanding if I had a schedule change or needed extra help. She is awesome.”
About: I have various experience with all sorts of animals, including large farm animals. As a current owner of two dogs and one cat, I’m comfortable with them all and want to help your animal feel loved and cared for when you are not able to be there with them. I love getting down on the floor to rub puppy bellies and getting cats to play. I will do my absolute best to make sure your pet(s) are having a great time while you are away and provide them any comfort they may need. From cuddle bugs to loners, I’ve dealt with them all and know how to alter my approach to best suit your fur babies. I guarantee they’ll love me in no time and be beyond excited to see me on my next trip! I’m a server so I have plenty of time during the day to stop in and play with your pets to ensure they are feeling loved while you’re away! By staying in your home, I can make sure that your pets feel safe and at ease, rather than making them come into a new unknown environment.
About: Hi there, I'm Antoinette, a devoted pet lover with 15 years of professional pet-sitting experience. I know firsthand how much your dog means to you. My own little Rusty was adopted from the SPCA in 2010 and was my best friend for 14 wonderful years before he passed away on June 7th, 2024. This experience has only deepened my commitment. I will always care for your pup with the same love, attention, and dedication I gave my own fur baby. I also believe pet care should be affordable and reasonable, not astronomical. I am blessed to be able to work-from-home and will be here all day to stay and play with your pup and provide supervision inside and outside. To help me make your pet as happy and safe as possible, could you tell me a little bit about their routine? How often do they eat each day? Do they need any medications or have any existing health concerns? Are there any allergies I should be aware of? What's their personality like? Are there any quirks or behavioral issues I should know about? Where do they usually sleep at night? And finally, anything else that will help me keep them safe, comfortable, and entertained! Your pet's safety and happiness are my highest priority. Please let me know if there are any specific accommodations or requests I can fulfill to ensure their in-home stay is as comfortable as possible.
“Taylor did very well with Teddy. He is a little skittish, but she was able to get him to trust her. I will use Taylor again when I have the opportunity to go out to dinner or to a ball game. She was very attentive to the dog and played with him to make him feel more comfortable.”
About: Hire me and your dog won’t be barking up the wrong tree! I’ve adored man’s best friend since I was a small child, and loving and taking care of other’s furry friends since I was 8 years old came easy to me. My years of experience have helped me be equipped at walking, bathing, cleaning up bodily waste, and wiping down dogs after being outside. Does your dog have a hard time not being distracted and pulling you every which way on a walk? No problem! I am capable of being stern and respectful with your companion in order for them not to get hurt by running off or be mischievous toward other individuals. Whether your dog is shy and skittish or disturbs the neighbors by being easily amused and barks when there’s too much excitement, I strive to create a calm and quiet atmosphere to gain their trust and to be respectful of their needs. If they require someone who can match their more bubbly energy, I also am more than happy to comply to this as well. When you’re away, there’s no need to worry since I will give as much affection as your pet desires while also making sure they are well fed and given plenty of water all according to their feeding plan and schedule. It would be my absolute pleasure to treasure your dog by being their pet sitter! I am free for most of the weekday during the mornings (starting at 7:30 AM) and some afternoons and evenings. If you need a carer earlier in the mornings, I will see if I am available to do so. I am currently not working anywhere else and have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I am flexible with keeping your pet wherever you need them inside or around your home. In the yard, a crate, or a room, I will accompany them and keep them in the place they need to be during and after the visit.
“Emma is wonderful! She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She’s punctual and responsive! While we were gone our dog had a little accident and she cleaned it up for us and made sure there was not a stain left on our new rug! We would definitely recommend Emma and plan to use her services again!”
About: I've had pets in my home as long as can remember, I love animals. I love going on walks, playing ball or tug of war, or just a belly rub and snuggle. I treat every pet as if it were my own and enjoy figuring out what makes them tick. Your pet's peace of mind and happiness are always a priority. I would gladly provide updates and photos while you are away, rest assured they are in good hands. I am currently working part time and enjoy a flexible schedule. I know that we can find a schedule that works for all of us. I am an empty nester with a longtime boyfriend; we have been in Florida for almost two years and have recently settled in Sarasota. I have enjoyed getting to know different parts of the state and look forward to more exploring.
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the country, I had the opportunity to care for a wide variety of animals, from beloved family pets to more unique companions. My experience includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, chickens, turkeys, ducks, a degu (yes, they're real!), a tortoise, snakes, and lizards. Today, I share my home with our rescued Lab/Pit Bull mix, whom we've loved since she was just a few months old. We recently said goodbye to our senior dog after a courageous battle with cancer, which only deepened my appreciation for the special bond we share with our pets. I truly love animals of all kinds (with the exception of spiders and cockroaches!). Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I'll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. With my husband serving in law enforcement, safety, trust, and integrity are values we live by every day. You can feel confident knowing I'll treat not only your pets with exceptional care, but your home with the utmost respect, responsibility, and security while you're away. I'm a wife and mom of two teenage boys, and I work as both a paralegal and a real estate agent. Because I work primarily from home and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, I'm able to provide attentive, personalized care for your pets. Whether your furry family member needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them company while you're away, I can easily accommodate their routine and give them the time and attention they deserve. I understand that every pet is unique, and I'll treat yours with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. While I'm not currently able to host pets in my own home, I'm happy to care for them in the comfort and familiarity of theirs. I understand how important it is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible while you're away. I'll carefully follow all of your instructions—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and bedtime routines—to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care that gives you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy and your home is being treated with the utmost respect while you're away.

“Steve and Cindy took great care of our pup when we were away for the weekend! They sent adorable pics of the kids and dogs playing together. Our pup seemed right at home! Definitely will use them again!”
“Team Stephany did a wonderful job boarding Penny! Good feedback daily and I could tell Penny was having a wonderful time with Minnie. Would highly recommend and will hopefully use their services in the future. Thank you!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!!!”
“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!!!!!!!”
“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.”
“Marlene took my 2 huskies on to board overnight on short notice and took excellent care of them. She was very accommodating to the one’s anxiety and was very attentive. I would definitely recommend using her services 😊”
“Lori was incredible! I was new to Rover, but decided to give it a try. After meeting her and her entire family, I felt very comfortable leaving our dog. While away, I got several pictures of our pup. Lori took him on long walks and he rested in one of many nice plush dog bed that she had. I could tell he was having a great time! Our pup was very well taken care of!! I would highly recommend Lori. Our family will continue to book whenever she is available moving forward!!”
“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!”
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.
“Kari and Eric were sitting my dog for 2 weeks. They are kind and caring people, and treated my dog as their own. Kari provided regular updates with photos. I would definitely recommend them as great dog sitters, and will use their services next time. Thank you. Leon.”
