“Super awesome family, they loved Luna and took amazing care of her. Loved all the update pictures they send. Really appreciate the flexibility and fast booking. Your family and pups ate amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Nancy was great. She gave me updates about my dog pictures and texts. If I called to check up on him, she was able to answer the phone she had toys and was very sweet. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Jackelyn was excellent. We did a visit prior to his stay. She was so warm and welcoming to both I and Russell. He took to her immediately. She allowed him to run freely in the house. I received pictures and updates daily. Jackelyn actually taught Russell to sit and lye down. We’re back together and he is kind of moping around. I’ve already talked about anther upcoming stay. I believe he’s found his second home. Thank you so much Jackelyn. 💕💕💕🐶🐩🐩”
“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!”
“Joan was AMAZING with my diabetic cat. There are no words to describe how nice she was to me and my baby. It's been a very stressful beginning to what may be a long journey with diabetes. She put my mind at ease and I was comforted with her experience on handling the necessary insulin shots that he needed. She was also kind enough to stay with my cat on a night when he was having a hard time. She went above and beyond with making him feel at home. I can't thank her enough. I wish I could rate her 10 stars!!! :-)”
“Skipper had a wonderful time at their house while we were on a week long family vacation! They kept me updated with cute pictures of him every day. He loved the fenced in backyard and playing with the other dogs and kids!”
“Danielle watched my dog for a couple of nights and made the entire process comfortable for me and him, it was my first time leaving my dog without a family member and I was super nervous, she made sure to always communicate, she sent pictures while I was away and even accommodated him when he wouldn’t eat his food, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter as she took care of him like her own! Thank you Danielle!!”
“SUPER, Tiffany and her family treated my dog (Mazie) like family. Especially, thru the hard time of Mazie not knowing where and why she was there. They texted me to keep me informed and we worked thru it together. Mazie, adjusted and finally relaxed and everything was good.”
“Winston had a great stay at Morgan’s. Lots of cuddle time with her little ones and he loved playing outside in the fenced in backyard. I would highly recommend Morgan and hope to use here again in the future.”
“First time using Rover and Kym and Glen gave my dog a great home away from home. They regularly sent photos and promptly answered any concern that I had. I feel she the care she was given while there was top notch. Thanks to both Kym and Glen!”
“Linda was a wonderful sitter for my 1 year old Cockapoo. I was a little nervous about finding a sitter when we moved in September. Thanks to Rover and Linda I found a way to be comfortable about leaving my baby. After having a meet and greet with Linda, I was sure that I found the right person. I was happy when she advised me during the day and sent cute pictures. It made my weekend away so much better knowing my puppy was well taken care of.”
“Anna did an amazing job with watching our baby girl KC. KC received lots of hugs and cuddles and Anna provided us with numerous updates and photos as promised. Would definitely recommend.”
“Catherine was so sweet! She was very prompt in responding to my questions and flexible when my return flight was delayed. My dog had a wonderful time with her and will be visiting again soon!”
“Rachel was amazing with my dogs! She went above and beyond my expectations. She was friendly, helpful, kind, and sent personalized updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and will definitely rebook her in the future. Thank you so much!”
“I always know Stitch is in good hands and has a great time when he stays with Julie & Bryan. Whenever we get out of the car in their driveway, he gets SO excited. He immediately wants to go explore their backyard. I also always get pictures too & that helps 😊 Thank you, Julie & Brian!!”
“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.”
“Awesome folks that took great care of my cat. They gave me regular updates through pictures and videos, and were very kind throughout the whole process. Would highley recommended!!”

“Linnea was great! We were gone for two weeks and I could always count on her being at our house at a specific time to look after our two cats. She took excellent care of them. I previously used another sitter from this site and when I would come home one of our cats (who is very loving but also extremely high strung) would be all wound up and "hyper". This time when we came home she was calm and relaxed and ready to snuggle. I will definitely be using Linnea again. She has become my number one choice.”
“Lisa is amazing! She went the extra mile to check on our boys when a heat wave hit while we were away. She made sure they were safe and sound. I am so grateful for her care of our fur babies!”
“Sherry was responsive, on time, professional and kind. I am so glad we found her. She loves animals and is a great care giver. She provided feedback after visits which was super and she was super accommodating...Highly recommend her.”
About: I believe that pets are more than animals, they are also family. My priority is for them to be comfortable, healthy, well taken care of, and happy. I also have experience with giving medications such as oral, ear drops, and eye drops. Although this may sound a little random, I also speak Spanish for those who have pets that only understand that language. If your pet likes to sleep on the bed, I have no problem with that. I tend to enjoy the company anyway. I can house sit any day of the week/weekend. However, I do have another job that I go to: Monday-Friday. Other than that, I’m usually free. Before I go to work or anywhere, I make sure that I either walk my dogs, or at least take them outside the yard so they can do whatever they need to do. I also like to stay with them an hour or two before leaving, just because I like for them to have a little bit of cuddle or fun time. I also like to take them to the dog park to socialize them and for them to have their exercise. I usually try to keep them in a healthy diet but, if I do feed them human food, I always look up information to make sure if it’s healthy or not because, why should they miss out? They loves car rides as well, so I tend to bring them with me wherever they can. They’re my travel buddies. We also sometimes go chill at the beach, and whenever we do that, I always bring a bag of necessities such as toys, plenty of waters, their water bowls, their leash, and doggy bags. I sometimes bring a couple of their favorite treats or stop by a store to get something we can eat.
“Rachael was wonderful with our 3 kitties while we were away for an entire week. She kept in contact with us and sent us pictures of each of them to let us know they were o.k. I felt very comfortable with Rachael and her family watching over our kitties. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Tristin was a great sitter! She is reliable and professional and took very good care of my cats. She sent me pics at every visit and my cats came out of their hiding places to spend time with her, so that speaks volumes about her ability to easily bond with animals. I highly recommend having Tristin help with your pets!!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m the reliable go-to for family and friends when they need someone patient and experienced to care for their cats.
“Taylor is amazing with our girl. She's just over 6 months now and some dog sitters are really stand offish with a "puppy" but Taylor stepped up and really delivered! She's an absolute pleasure to be around and couldn't be happier!”
“I cannot thank Angelina enough for all her help this weekend. She was communicative, timely, and trustworthy. She followed all of my instructions and I felt confident that my cat was being cared for while I was away.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. Every cat I grew up with was a family pet, and when I moved out on my own, I knew pretty quickly that my home didn’t feel complete without one. That’s when I found Levi, my one-eyed little guy who is now an extremely spoiled rotten little possum in the best possible way. I currently live with two cats, Levi and Romie, so I’m very familiar with everything from feeding and litter boxes to playtime, cuddles, keeping an eye on their routines, and learning each cat’s individual personality. Cats may be more independent than dogs, but that definitely doesn’t mean they don’t need care and companionship. In my experience, what they often want most is attention, just delivered entirely on their terms, of course! I also understand that some cats are immediately affectionate while others need time before they trust someone new. I’m happy to sit quietly with a shy cat, play with an energetic one, or give a professional-level amount of attention to the cat who decides I am now legally obligated to pet them for the next three hours. I’ll always follow their routine and let them set the pace.
About: I currently have 5 cats of my own and have had cats since I was a kid. I have experience with new born kittens to my current oldest is 14 years old. Two of my current furbabies were found on the side of the road at 2 and 4 weeks old. I am a healthcare professional and can administer medication if need be.
About: Hello, my name is Melanie! I've had dogs all my life both small and large. Over the past 12 years I have been pet sitting and dog walking for both friends and family. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. If you have an athletic or active dog we can do walks, swimming, even to a play date at the park. If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable I am currently a SAHM so my schedule is open and very flexible 7 days a week to care for dog walks or drop in visits. I will be happy to provide photos and updates during walks/drop in visits. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!!
“Stacia and her family are super nice. She and her kids made sure my cats experience was beyond. They spoiled her so much I was afraid she wouldn't want to come home :) I did not worry for a second and had a wonderful (much needed) vacation. I recommend Stacia 150%!!”
About: I have always had a love for animals! When I moved to Florida in 2005 is where I started my first job working at a private owned boarding and grooming facility. High school I was in FFA, I did some grooming and rabbit care! I worked at an animal hospital as a tech for two years recently. I enjoy building bonds with animals and giving them the care they deserve and more! Currently I am available Saturdays and Sundays. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits for potty breaks, play time, and/or feeding times! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. For that reason, all pets are under direct supervision whenever they are in my care, regardless of whether we are in your home or mine. Fresh water is always available, and all meals are supervised to ensure your pet eats safely and comfortably. For walks, I kindly request that dogs wear a properly fitted harness rather than a collar whenever possible. Harnesses provide added safety and better control, helping protect both your pet and me during our outings. To provide the best care possible, please let me know about any behavioral traits or special needs, including: - Temperament and personality - Comfort level with people and other animals - Any fears, anxieties, or triggers - Medical conditions or current medications. For the safety of all pets in my care, I also require that your pet’s rabies vaccination is current. Thank you for trusting me with your furry family member. I look forward to providing them with safe, loving, and attentive care while you’re away.

“My wife and I were extremely happy with Tamara. At first we were a bit nervous leaving our dog with someone other than family that he knew but Tamara made us feel very comfortable.

It was obvious Joan created a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment in her home. We really appreciated the attention, affection, and care she gave throughout the day.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats.

I am attentive to each pet’s needs and make sure they receive the care, patience, and attention they deserve. In addition to pet care, I previously worked in childcare with RCMA, where I learned strong responsibility, supervision, and safety skills.

About: I bring years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with my own senior dog who’s now 14 and still living his best life. Caring for him has taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to adapt routines for pets of all ages and energy levels. I’ve also spent plenty of time around cats and guinea pigs, giving me a solid understanding of different personalities and needs—from playful or shy kitties to small pets that require calm, careful attention. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a check-in, I make sure every animal feels safe, respected, and well cared for. Even with a full-time job, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m already up early for my own senior dog, so morning check-ins or feedings are easy to incorporate. I often use my lunch break for midday visits, giving pets a chance to stretch, potty, play, or simply enjoy some company. After work, I’m available for longer visits, walks, or evening drop-ins. Weekends are even more flexible, allowing me to spend extra time with pets who need longer outings or multiple check-ins. Supporting other people’s pets feels like a natural extension of my day, and I’m committed to making sure every animal gets the care, consistency, and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches each pet’s routine. In a client’s home, I follow their preferred schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, whether that means giving extra cuddles, keeping things low-key for shy animals, or offering plenty of play for energetic ones. In my own home, pets have designated spaces for rest and play, regular potty breaks, and supervised time to explore. No matter the location, I treat every pet with the same care and patience I give my own, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and well looked after.
About: I’ve raised Pugs to Jack Russell’s to Samoyeds. I’ve cared for many dogs from rescues to seniors. My sweet pug Ana was in a wheelchair for the last few years of her life. I’m currently retired and available to assist pet owners in the Sun City area with pet sitting and walking needs. I have a Jack Russell that is full of energy that loves to play with others and go on walks. My dog is an indoor/outdoor dog that loves hanging out on the lanai, playing ball and long walks. He gets along great with dogs and cats alike.
About: I’ve had a dog(s) since the day I was born. I am super comfortable with taking care of any size or breed of dog as they are a man’s best friend and I will try to make them feel like they are my own! I work from home full time during the week. So I’m able to take care of your pets needs throughout the day if needed My pup is a free roamer in the house and is allowed on the couches and beds, your pet(s) would be able to do the same as they are in paradise over here!
About: My extensive professional training in animal handling and behavior sets me apart. While many sitters enjoy pets as a hobby, I have dedicated my career to their welfare. I am a National Animal Control Officer (Level II), which provides me with advanced training in safe animal handling for both dogs and cats, as well as emergency response protocols. My Special Skills Include: Certified Behavioral Knowledge: I hold a certification from Jackson Galaxy (since 2016), allowing me to manage anxiety and behavioral issues with a fear-free approach. Senior & Medical Care: Through my non-profit rescue work, I am highly skilled in caring for senior animals, including administering varied medications (injections, fluids, pills) and managing mobility issues. Trust & Reliability: I run a professional organization, so you can expect the highest level of communication, punctuality, and attention to detail. My schedule is entirely flexible because pet care is my professional focus. As the founder of a non-profit rescue, I have the autonomy to adjust my daily workload to ensure I am available for early mornings, critical medication times, and unexpected last-minute needs. Reliability is guaranteed. I care for every pet with the rigor of a professional rescuer and the heart of an advocate. Safety First: My background as a National Animal Control Officer (Level II) influences every decision I make. I am trained in risk assessment, meaning I proactively identify hazards (loose screens, toxic plants, escape routes) before they become problems. I am also fully trained in pet CPR and First Aid. Building Trust: Trust is built through consistency. Running a non-profit organization requires impeccable ethics and reliability. Whether in my home or yours, I adhere to strict feeding and medication schedules. A Low-Stress Environment: Using my Jackson Galaxy certification, I prioritize the pet's emotional well-being. I don't force interaction; instead, I use positive reinforcement and body language cues to build a bond. I am experienced in maintaining a sterile, healthy environment, ensuring that food bowls, litter boxes, and living areas are kept to rescue-grade standards of cleanliness.

About: Hello! My name is Sasha, I’m a 25 year old zookeeper living with my family in Ruskin. I have experience with all kinds of species including birds, dogs, cats, primates, hoofstock, and reptiles. I’ve loved working in the animal field for the last 5 years at ranches, shelters, zoos, sanctuaries, and doggie daycares. I have experience giving oral and topical medication, vaccines, and more. My various jobs have given me lots of experience creating various types of enrichment as well. If you need help curbing your animals’ boredom during the summer, I’m your girl! My end goal is to open a sanctuary for wild cats, hyenas, and bears (so if you have big dogs, I will immediately be accepting 😂). I’m excited to love and care for your animals, and I promise your fur babies will be in the best, most loving hands possible! I work 4 days a week for 10 hours each day and my schedule is relatively predictable, so I can be as flexible as possible! My home will be unavailable as it is my family’s house and I’d rather not intrude on them like that, but caring for animals in their original home helps reduce anxiety for the pets and makes it easier for me to gain their trust anyway so I hope this isn’t an issue!
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.
About: I have always had a love for animals! When I moved to Florida in 2005 is where I started my first job working at a private owned boarding and grooming facility. High school I was in FFA, I did some grooming and rabbit care! I worked at an animal hospital as a tech for two years recently. I enjoy building bonds with animals and giving them the care they deserve and more! Currently I am available Saturdays and Sundays. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits for potty breaks, play time, and/or feeding times! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. For that reason, all pets are under direct supervision whenever they are in my care, regardless of whether we are in your home or mine. Fresh water is always available, and all meals are supervised to ensure your pet eats safely and comfortably. For walks, I kindly request that dogs wear a properly fitted harness rather than a collar whenever possible. Harnesses provide added safety and better control, helping protect both your pet and me during our outings. To provide the best care possible, please let me know about any behavioral traits or special needs, including: - Temperament and personality - Comfort level with people and other animals - Any fears, anxieties, or triggers - Medical conditions or current medications. For the safety of all pets in my care, I also require that your pet’s rabies vaccination is current. Thank you for trusting me with your furry family member. I look forward to providing them with safe, loving, and attentive care while you’re away.

“Super awesome family, they loved Luna and took amazing care of her. Loved all the update pictures they send. Really appreciate the flexibility and fast booking. Your family and pups ate amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Jackelyn was excellent. We did a visit prior to his stay. She was so warm and welcoming to both I and Russell. He took to her immediately. She allowed him to run freely in the house. I received pictures and updates daily. Jackelyn actually taught Russell to sit and lye down. We’re back together and he is kind of moping around. I’ve already talked about anther upcoming stay. I believe he’s found his second home. Thank you so much Jackelyn. 💕💕💕🐶🐩🐩”
“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!”
“Joan was AMAZING with my diabetic cat. There are no words to describe how nice she was to me and my baby. It's been a very stressful beginning to what may be a long journey with diabetes. She put my mind at ease and I was comforted with her experience on handling the necessary insulin shots that he needed. She was also kind enough to stay with my cat on a night when he was having a hard time. She went above and beyond with making him feel at home. I can't thank her enough. I wish I could rate her 10 stars!!! :-)”
“Skipper had a wonderful time at their house while we were on a week long family vacation! They kept me updated with cute pictures of him every day. He loved the fenced in backyard and playing with the other dogs and kids!”
“SUPER, Tiffany and her family treated my dog (Mazie) like family. Especially, thru the hard time of Mazie not knowing where and why she was there. They texted me to keep me informed and we worked thru it together. Mazie, adjusted and finally relaxed and everything was good.”
“First time using Rover and Kym and Glen gave my dog a great home away from home. They regularly sent photos and promptly answered any concern that I had. I feel she the care she was given while there was top notch. Thanks to both Kym and Glen!”
“Anna did an amazing job with watching our baby girl KC. KC received lots of hugs and cuddles and Anna provided us with numerous updates and photos as promised. Would definitely recommend.”
“Rachel was amazing with my dogs! She went above and beyond my expectations. She was friendly, helpful, kind, and sent personalized updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and will definitely rebook her in the future. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Awesome folks that took great care of my cat. They gave me regular updates through pictures and videos, and were very kind throughout the whole process. Would highley recommended!!”
“Autumn was great with Vivi! I left her for 11 days and have no concerns or complaints! She always keeps you updated with images and photos. Would definitely book her again💫”
“Carla took such wonderful care of my giant pup Stanley! It was first time I've used Rover and the longest we've been apart for 4 nights. He had such a fun time and came back tired and happy to have met so many dog and people friends. She put my mind at ease right away and sent over many photo, video and text updates throughout the weekend. Stanley will definitely be back soon :)”
“Brian and his family were everything I wished for in taking care of my Lady for 9 days. It was our first time away from each other. Brian sent pictures every day and I could see how happy Lady was. It was such a relief. We will travel more now that Lady has a “second” home. Thank you so much Brian!”
“We are so glad to have found Melissa and Jessica. They were wonderful with our two pups, Milo and Buster! To say these pups are spoilt is an understatement and they came home as happy as can be. Loved getting photos of the boys everyday. 💜🙏💜”
“Katherine and her family were wonderful with our dog, Simon. We got daily updates and photos of him having a great time, so we never had to worry how he was doing. Simon enjoyed his vacation as much as we did!”
“Tressa took great care of my boys. Highly recommended. They got along great with her kids and her dog Charley. She was aware of every aspect of their care and kept me informed with texts and pictures. Will definitely use her again.!!!”
“Eve gave me a lot of confidence at our meet and greet that she is a responsible long-time dog parent. As a boarder, Eve was communicative and caring, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very attentive and available. Eve was around most days to spend with my dog, this was the situation my dog really needs. Eve was sitting for my dog during a snowstorm and the bad ice storm and sent me updates about this, as well. She even gave my dog an oatmeal bath, which was above and beyond. When I came to pick up Sweetheart, it was clear they had really bonded. She didn't want to get in the car! Will book again.”
