“Kathy and Roy took fantastic care of our dog. Kathy sent 50 pictures during a 4 night stay with daily summary of what our dog did and how she behaved. Our dog really enjoyed the fenced in yard as well as Kathy’s pet friendly home. From the minute we met Kathy and Roy we knew they really cared about dogs as well as all animals. We had a wonderful experience and have already booked another stay for our dog.”

“Gus had a great first stay with Jennifer! She took the time to do a meet and greet the week before Gus's stay and her experience and concern for his comfort was evident. She sent us pictures and updates and was responsive and flexible--we highly recommend-thanks, Jennifer!”
“Linda was a terrific nanny for Oscar! She responded very quickly to my request, had a prompt and positive meet and greet… and was kind and caring during Oscar’s stay. We received numerous pictures of his “making himself at home” and a happy reunion after 12 days. Highly recommended!”
“Beth was amazing. Our small dog can be nervous around new people but she did really well with Beth. Beth was very attentive to our dog and very communicative with us. Everything went smoothly…. Zero problems. We would highly recommend her and will plan to use her again!”
“I have used Fran a number of times to take care of my cat. She is caring, responsible and I know Carlisle is well taken care of . She sends me daily updates with photos which is much appreciated. She is an excellent petsitter that I highly recommend.”
“I liked that Jade invited us over the day before we dropped off Bella. She asked if I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her. I did. When I picked Bella up, she was not stressed at all. I believe all went well! Jade gave Bella a Bath. I paid Jade for that and gave her a tip. I will have Jade dog sit again if I need her.”
“Thank you to Ray and his son for watching our dog over Thanksgiving. We really appreciated the daily updates especially for our dog who can be very anxious. They even got her a couple new toys to play with.”
“Marcela and her husband were great with our Roxy, they took great care of her, and they were very responsive to our questions and kept us constantly updated with pictures. I got back into town later than i expected and they were very understanding. Will definitely be using them again.”
“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!”
“Linda did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. I’ve never boarded them before and am I happy I tried it. Nice to know that they are not alone and get loved on just as if they were at home. She sent pictures and video to show that they were doing great. I plan on using Linda everytime we need a sitter.”
“We were very pleased with Anne’s care for our dog . Our dog had emergency surgery 3 weeks before the dog sitting. We reviewed the extras that Sophie would need - exercises, activity restrictions, special accommodations which Anne felt she could handle. She kept in touch with us via texts & photos. We returned home to a happy , healthy dog. We would definitely use Anne in the future!”
“Suzanne is wonderful. She sends pictures and updates. She asks questions and gets to know your pet and his/her habits in advance. We will definitely use her to watch Dobby again!”
“Robin made an instant connection with our pup Stella. We were sent photos of their time together and Stella was very happy. We highly recommend Robin to watch your fur baby, they’ll be in good hands.”
“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!”

“Christine provided timely photos and updates. My little girl is a traumatized baby so getting her to open up to anyone but me is quite difficult. As per usual she was on the same trajectory with Christine's recent visit. However, on one special day Christine was able to get her to respond to her with a churu in hand. I hope this continues to break down the scaredy cat vibes of my cat so that one day she's more trusting of humans. I appreciate Christine's diligence to get my cat to participate in activities while I was gone.”
“Angela W. Is wonderful! I’ve used her services 3 times now and she has taken excellent care of my cats and gave me peace of mind while traveling. I will continue to ask her to help when needed. Great job!”
“Holly was great with our pups! She ran over to be with them when we had a last minute change of plans. We really appreciated her care and attention to our fur babies! Definitely recommend!”
“This was my second time booking Hailey to watch my kitties and she was fantastic again! She’s very reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. She kept me updated and made sure everything was taken care of. I came home and it was like I never even left. I’ll definitely continue booking her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Tracy did an amazing job of looking after Peanut Butter making her feel less alone and well cared. She exceeded our expectations and took care of many little things in which we are truly grateful. The multitudes of pictures showed as how well PB was being looked after and it gave us comfort from afar. PB even had a couple of new toys to play with! We will not hesitate to reach out to Tracy in the future.”
“I never met Brandon, but my husband Greg did, and he took excellent care of our cat Elliott. It was very comforting to know that Elliott was able to stay in his own home, spend time on the lanai and get his needs met.”
About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently own four cats and have experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. Friends, family, and clients often call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every cat is unique and respect their individual needs, routines, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers a quieter approach, I provide patient, compassionate care tailored to their personality. I have experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, playtime, companionship, and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. I genuinely love animals and treat every cat as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your feline family member feels secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾❤️
“Tracy was an absolute blessing!! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I traveled out of state. I received updates and pictures with each visit. It was so comforting knowing my boys where well taken care of while I couldn't be there. If I ever have to leave them again, I will be sure to rebook Tracy with Rover! Thank you Tracy!!”

“We are so grateful to have found Nichole. Our two Cairn Terrier brothers like being home and we prefer having them there, especially compared to the stress and expense of taking them to a kennel. We had a great meet & greet with Nichole and our pups took to her immediately. This was a difficult trip for us (mom’s funeral), and getting updates and photos from Nichole has been very comforting. Her enthusiasm and professionalism have helped make this trip so much better and opened the door for future travels knowing our dogs are very well cared for. Thank you, Nichole, for being excellent.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, especially cats. I’ve always loved cats and feel a natural connection with them.

About: My home is located in south venice with a secure fenced in yard. I adopted a little girl Ellie who is 6 yrs old and a mix of datsun/?. She loves everyone and everyone loves her. My 2 kitties are both females and reaching ole age of 15 yrs. Golden G stands for the Golden Girls!!! But we luv boy doggies too.

Can't watch animal kingdom, even though its nature, breaks my heart. I love furry babies and could not even imagine life without them. Luv luv 💓
About: There is no dog or cat, in my care, that I won't go the extra mile to keep safe. I have trained my own pets, currently my dog (Brooklyn, an English Cream Golden Retriever) will bring the mail back to the house, she will sit, she will wait, she will stay, she will go, she will lay, she will roll over, she will swim too .... all on command. My cats (both mixed breeds) love their special attention and actually come when called by name. I recommend you challenge me - and see how much love I share with your pets. One thing I don't do is get angry with any pets and I always show love, compassion and kindness to pets in my care. I am certain that you will be happy with me caring for your precious pets. First priority are always the pets. I have and protect my pets from outside threats and have nothing around the yard that could harm them. My yard is fully fenced and easy for dogs to run, fetch, play. I will take care of your pet, as if it was my pet. And I always allow the pets to sleep on our king bed if they want to.
“Debbie was a godsend. We had to take a trip and be away from my sick kitty. Debbie sent reports on all the cats and pictures showing me how they were faring. She went above and beyond her cat sitting to take my sick kitty to our veterinarian twice for a necessary shot and served as liaison between our veterinarian and us. She gave me a sense of security about all the cats’ care, but especially my little sick baby.”

About: Hi, I’m Dawn! I’m a lifelong animal lover, professional animal trainer with over 30 years of experience, and an animal talent agent who works from home. Through my company, Pawsitively Famous, I supply professionally trained animals for film, TV, print, and live events. You may have seen my work on Animal Planet—including DOGS 101, CATS 101, and America’s Cutest—and recently on Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala on CBS. Living in Venice, FL, I offer a calm, safe, and loving home environment for your pets while you’re away. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of one-on-one attention and create a relaxed, stress-free stay for every guest. Why I Love Dog Sitting I’m a huge dog lover, and since I can’t have 10 of my own, I love welcoming houseguests! It brings me joy to give pet parents peace of mind that their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. Experience Administering Medication I’m comfortable giving daily pills, topical treatments, or other medications. Your pet’s health and routine are always my priority. Resident Dogs My two resident dogs, Buzz and Little Miss Hollywoof, love welcoming new furry friends—whether they feel like playing or prefer to just relax. Because I work remotely from home, pet care is naturally part of my day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. In my home, I host only one or two dogs at a time so each guest gets plenty of attention and a calm, low-stress environment. Dogs have access to comfy beds, cozy spaces, and my fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I don’t accept dogs with separation anxiety or severe behavior issues, so everyone here can feel safe and relaxed. When staying in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free.

I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with four cats and have spent my entire life around animals. Many people call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats. I love helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable, and I've seen many reserved or unfriendly cats become affectionate and trusting with patience and understanding. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and love. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

I am around animals pretty much around the clock and absolutely love it. ❤️ When I'm working with clients, I give as much attention to their pets as I do to them. I am a highly sought-after caregiver due to my attentiveness to their animals and the love and care I give them. I treat each and every one as if they were my own pet. I pay attention to their individual needs and wants.

I understand how important pets are to a family, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I’m on summer break and have lots of free time and flexibility. I’m available during weekdays, especially during the day, but I can also do evenings or nights if needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making time to care for pets is something I genuinely look forward to!

Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide them with the care and attention they deserve. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and love. My own dog is a senior diabetic, so I’m comfortable administering insulin injections, giving oral medications, and following detailed care routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, especially when they have special needs. I recently moved back to the Venice/Sarasota area after living in Orlando for the past four years. I’m a licensed esthetician and own my own lash business, but since I’m just getting established here again, my schedule is very flexible. That means I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or pet sitting, and I can spend quality one-on-one time with your pet instead of rushing from appointment to appointment.

I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! 🐾🤍 I’m currently a part-time lash tech I I just moved to the area so I have plenty of free time at the momentI take them on daily walks make sure they get plenty of their energy out Creating a safe and trusting environment is my top priority.

I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.
About: I enjoy walking and playing, and all the animals I have had the pleasure of taking care of benefit from that. My bloodhound /lab up north had high anxiety and high energy when we took her in, and after a few weeks of long walks twice a day she calmed down. My jack Russel was also high strung until her walks and playing. I live close to a park and to a trail which I walk to daily. I live in a peaceful area and my back yard is a bird haven. I have plenty of time, room, and love for your pet. I have taken care of friends, neighbors, and relatives pets for many years up north, and now I am ready to be your pets friend in the south. My house is set up to have plenty of room for any size dog. We are always outside and I live very close to a park.

About: Hi! I'm Jill and I'd love to help take care of your pet - whether that's an afternoon walk, a pet sit or anything in between. I've had pets of my own for many years, including my cat Dot who passed in 2014 and my dog of 14 years Coconut, who I lost in 2026. Now that I don't have pets of my own, I want to spread the love and care for others' animals. I'm a single working professional with a flexible work and volunteering schedule, which means I can spend ample time with your baby - whether they want lots of activity or just someone to hang with them on the couch. Over the years, my family has had many pets (my mom fostered animals out of our home), and my sister is a vet (always on call for me as needed!). I have also watched others' pets for many years (mostly dogs and cats) and have experience with senior pets, diabetic pets and asthmatic pets. Yes, I know how to give a cat an inhaler :) I know your pet is a precious family member, and I will ensure s/he is in the best possible care under my watch - whether it's for a walk or an overnight stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Please reach out with any questions or for more references. I'm currently working remote (from home) and have an extremely flexible schedule. I am also somewhat mobile and willing to travel for pet sitting. I believe routine is important for animals and for people. I will do my best to ensure consistency in your pet's routine - whether that's feeding times, exercise, play time, pet time. I know every animal and every situation is unique. I want to understand how you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable so that I can continue that care.
About: Hello! My name is Brittany. I have been on Rover for a few years now. I am “that girl” that will play with the family dog at a party. I have grown up owning dogs my entire life with 20+ years of experience. Currently, I live in a house with a fenced in yard. I am extremely responsible and would be more than willing to an interview prior. Your dog will get lots of exercise and love under my care! I would love to watch your dog(s) and look forward to hearing from you! Also CPR certified I work as a PT during the day. My husband is home all day and lets the dogs out in our fenced in yard multiple times a day. I am usually home by 3/4. I have weekends off. Everything is very safe and my yard is fenced in. They are allowed on the couch and have free roam of the house unless they prefer a crate.
About: References available upon request. I have been working with various types of animals for over ten years. I always treat my clients furry family members as if they were one of my own. I also always encourage a meet and greet prior to accepting appointments. Trust, communication and respect are given by me freely to every client that I come into contact with. My compassion for dogs started from the moment I was born and I have always had one under my roof. Being able to provide the love and care needed for other clients’ pets brings me an immense amount of joy. As someone who has had others watch my pets, I understand the importance of a trustworthy dog sitter. They will always be safe under my care! I am a stay at home mommy so I have an extremely flexible schedule for you to work with! I accommodate all of my clients to the best of my ability. I provide a safe and trustworthy experience for all of my clients. In order to safely care for your pet, I set up a meet and greet so that I can be familiar with the client’s home and the pet’s habits - both good and bad!
About: I have loved/cared for pets my whole life! Neighbors, friends and friends of friends have relied on me to keep their treasures safe so you don’t have to worry. I have taken a reprieve form the 8-5 work experience and doing something I enjoy for a while. Availability is wide open at the moment! I will respect your wishes and the needs of your pet while in your mom. Treat your pet and home as if it was my own

“Kathy and Roy took fantastic care of our dog. Kathy sent 50 pictures during a 4 night stay with daily summary of what our dog did and how she behaved. Our dog really enjoyed the fenced in yard as well as Kathy’s pet friendly home. From the minute we met Kathy and Roy we knew they really cared about dogs as well as all animals. We had a wonderful experience and have already booked another stay for our dog.”
“Gus had a great first stay with Jennifer! She took the time to do a meet and greet the week before Gus's stay and her experience and concern for his comfort was evident. She sent us pictures and updates and was responsive and flexible--we highly recommend-thanks, Jennifer!”
“I liked that Jade invited us over the day before we dropped off Bella. She asked if I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her. I did. When I picked Bella up, she was not stressed at all. I believe all went well! Jade gave Bella a Bath. I paid Jade for that and gave her a tip. I will have Jade dog sit again if I need her.”
“Thank you to Ray and his son for watching our dog over Thanksgiving. We really appreciated the daily updates especially for our dog who can be very anxious. They even got her a couple new toys to play with.”
“Marcela and her husband were great with our Roxy, they took great care of her, and they were very responsive to our questions and kept us constantly updated with pictures. I got back into town later than i expected and they were very understanding. Will definitely be using them again.”
“Linda did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. I’ve never boarded them before and am I happy I tried it. Nice to know that they are not alone and get loved on just as if they were at home. She sent pictures and video to show that they were doing great. I plan on using Linda everytime we need a sitter.”
“Suzanne is wonderful. She sends pictures and updates. She asks questions and gets to know your pet and his/her habits in advance. We will definitely use her to watch Dobby again!”
“Carol was absolutely wonderful. I was in the area for a wedding and needed a safe and comfortable place for my dog to stay. Carol was great with communication and sent me updates. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Thank you Jennifer for caring for Bailey. It was nice to get pictures and updates while we were gone. We’re very glad you and your family enjoyed having him in your home.”
“Morgan was great to work with. The dogs were well taken care of and from pictures shared, I could tell they were very comfortable in her home. I was dealing with some weather related travel issues and I appreciated her communication and flexibility.”
“Cappuccino enjoyed his stay. He really enjoyed playing with the other dogs and frequent exercise. Monica took excellent care of Cappuccino, with him being hesitant to leave. Would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Brittany and her roommates are by far the best option for dog care. Super reasonable pricing, upbeat, active, attentive "team" of caretakers (at least one of them is home most of the time!) My somewhat shy dog warmed up to them in no time. I could tell when I brought her home that she wasn't as thrilled to be back as she usually is! We got frequent updates and pictures while we were traveling, which made being away that much easier. Looking forward to the next time I leave Ilya with them, which is something I've never said before! Such a good find.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Excellent! Brittany and her family were great! I was really happy and comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Communication was easy and flexible. I loved receiving daily updates and photos. Would recommend and will book again. Thank you!”
“They took great care of our dogs. If we ever need a sitter again I would 100% go back to them. We loved how they updated us and kept us informed of how our dogs were doing!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
