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!”

“Cheri is so caring and knowledgeable about animals, dogs in particular! So thankful that we found her to care for our 4-legged baby. Our pup had a great time with Cheri, and we received photos of their time together. Cheri was flexible and super responsive; our dog came home clean and happy; and we highly recommend Cheri!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Viktoryia and her family provided for our corgi, Emma. From the initial meet and greet, we knew Emma would be in great hands and treated like part of their family. It was wonderful to hear that she got along well with Coco and their daughter. Throughout Emma’s stay, Viktoryia kept us updated with adorable videos showing Emma happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Those updates gave us peace of mind and made our vacation even more enjoyable. Viktoryia is an exceptional sitter, and we would gladly have her watch our Emma again!”

“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care and Communication** I cannot recommend Audrey and Karson highly enough! They provided outstanding care for Cairo during our time away, and their communication throughout the entire experience was truly exceptional. The peace of mind that comes from such excellent communication cannot be overstated. As a pet parent, knowing exactly how your furry family member is doing while you’re away is invaluable. We will definitely be booking with Audrey and Karson again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to other pet owners looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet care. **Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cairo!**”
“Hope and her husband are awesome! You can tell they are dog lovers! I first took Samba for a meet and greet and her puppies are sweet and well behaved. During Samba’s stay, Hope sent many pictures and kept me updated. I am sure Samba had a great time! Thank you Hope! I will definitely book again!”

“Linda was very patient with Monty and she provided a loving space for our dogs to feel at home. Once he settled down he was attached to Linda's side. Linda sent several photos and it was nice to see our dogs and Linda’s dog all getting along and clearly feeling at home. Thank you for taking care of our dogs and the assurance that they were well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation.”
“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!”
“Karlee was very easy to work with and great at communicating. My pup felt comfortable with her right away and I could tell by her other pup that she was good with dogs and knew what he needed. She sent me pictures and videos at least once a day making me feel very secure. I will def book again!”
“Lori took care of our Cavalier for a week and she was wonderful. She treated her like part of their family and gave her a ton of attention and care. Thank you Lori. Anyone should feel comfortable leaving their precious pet in her care.”

“My new go-to cat sitter, for sure. Kim did a wonderful job!!! My two kitties were so happy the whole trip and when I got home. It left me worry free while on vacation. Kim was great about sending photos and detailed updates. She even treated the kitties to some extra toys. I was more than satisfied and felt very comfortable with her in my home. Kim is a true cat mama, as she has many of her own. ???”
“Bailey did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away on vacation! My cat is normally so shy that she is rarely seen by strangers, but Bailey was able to coax her out of hiding. I would definitely trust her with Prim again!”

About: I am conscientious, non-smoking, loving, caring, and trustworthy professional who understands the dedication and commitment required to look after your fur baby/babies. I have owned pets for more than 20 years and they all have always been spoiled rotten :). Growing up with pets and having my own as well, I became familiar with many pet conditions. If your furry baby has any medical needs I will assist in every way possible to make him/her comfortable. After my fur-baby passed away, I have chosen to fill the void of having a pet by looking after other people’s pets. While you are away, I will literally adopt your pet for the time it is with me and will treat him/her exactly as I would if it were my own. Your baby/babies will have fun with me and my son who loves animals more than anyone I’ve ever met (including critters and reptiles which are his specialty). Your baby/babies can watch TV with with us, sleep in bed or investigate things in and outside the house when out walking. I know that each pet has their own personality and style. I will adapt to exactly what your pet needs. My aim is to make your furry baby happy and provide the attention he or she ever wants and needs! I am a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker. Although I have to leave for house showings from time to time, your fur puppy will not be left home alone the whole time while I am gone. My 18 year old son will walk the pups to make sure they are not alone for long. I live in a townhouse with lots of trails around. I enjoy walking, so frequent nature walks will be a part of the routine. I have a very large back patio the dogs like to go on and absorb the sun. I always follow the same routine you do as I want your baby to feel at home.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tallevast
“SO MANY GOOD THINGS I COULD SAY!!! My boyfriend and I look at our two dogs, Hope (almost 2) and Zeus (3 months), like they are children. Our girl Hope can be an escape artist at times and is very active, so we have a collar for her with gps and tracking of her steps. With that being said, in the past I have not re-used some people off rover because Hope simply would not move the entire time!!! At Donnas, Hope and Zeus both ran and ran (after all I could tell). And had an absolute blast. Her yard is fenced in so no dog could get out, even our little lunatics. She knows so much about dogs I have never felt so confident with leaving our babies with someone before. Hope and Zeus will be back!! Truly a gem!”
“Amazing experience! Abby accepted a last minute booking and provided great care. Communication was excellent, and my dog came back happy. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

I pay close attention to body language and surroundings, keeping walks low-stress so every dog feels secure, enriched, and understood.

About: I have experience working with elderly and sick dogs so I am used to administering medicine. I had two dogs before I moved out of my parents a teacup chihuahua and a mutt named buddy. Felipe is 13 and buddy is 6. I have experience working at a dog shelter in San Diego California when I was 13-14. I am open to all breeds and all sizes. Both of my dogs were from the spca so I’m used to untrained pups. I will treat your dog like they are my own. Trips to the dog park regularly if boarding and regular walks and attention. I am a piercer at a tattoo shop and my partner is a tattoo artist, we have revolving schedules. Usually the pup would only be left alone 1-2 hours at a time, when i go to work and he comes home right after i leave. We are both animal lovers so being on rover is a nice way from preventing us from getting our own dog. I do stay in apartment but we make sure to go on regular walks around the neighborhood. There is a small fenced in area i like to take them too as well.
About: I am currently a student on break for the summer in Sarasota. I am a proud dog mom to a 4 year old bulldog, Azula. I am very good with all dogs of all ages and sizes! I am on break from school, so I am available to for dog walking or drop-ins at any time necessary. This includes weekends and holidays! I am a responsible person and have cared for many dogs in different homes. With clear instructions left, I can provide the above excellent service you want.
About: I grew up in Michigan always being around animals of all kinds. I was a part of 4-H for 12 years and have owned and taken care of horses since I was practically 5 years old competing in various equine competitions. My family always had indoor-outdoor cats that I loved dearly and my grandma owned a farm that I helped run. I have dog sat for several neighbors throughout my life since I was never fortunate enough to have one of my own. Luckily now I am an aunt to my brother's dog Odin who I have cared for. Today I reside in Florida with my furry friend Kaiah who is a beautiful long-haired cat that is very outgoing and spoiled. She loves car rides and goes everywhere with me. She even has a special bowl for her favorite treats. The reason why I made a rover is because I know what it is like to worry about the care of my pets while I am away! It breaks my heart that I could not bring my horse with me to Florida however I know my mom loves him and that he is getting the attention he needs. I want to be a motherly figure in your pet's life and provide comfort and quality time while also making sure they have been cleaned up after. Dogs, Cats, and Horses are my specialty. I enjoy fitness and spending time outdoors so if you are looking for someone to stop by and walk your dog, or play with your cat or exercise, brush and feed your horse please do not hesitate to contact me. I currently have a relaxed full time job where I can work from the comfort of my home, in my office, or anywhere with WIFI. I travel occasionally for work but am flexible if booked in advance. I think cleanliness is important! no one wants to come home to a stinky litter box and or a pile of poop. I think its important to make sure that dogs are being walked until they have went to the bathroom and that litter boxes are being cleaned out daily. Secondly, I think its important to make sure water is fresh and food is provided on a schedule or in my case the cat food bowl is always full (I let my cat eat whenever she is hungry and she is very healthy). Lastly and most importantly no matter what animal it is they need play time and attention weather it be a walk or a playing fetch at the park or playing with your cats favorite wand toy. Cleanliness Nutrition and Love !
About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

I will happily follow your typical routine you have set for them while you are away!

“Sarah was great! We booked her for a last minute Disney trip and she was very accommodating. My dogs did great, she had everything for them. She even sent pics of them. We felt that they were in good hands.”
“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care and Communication** I cannot recommend Audrey and Karson highly enough! They provided outstanding care for Cairo during our time away, and their communication throughout the entire experience was truly exceptional. The peace of mind that comes from such excellent communication cannot be overstated. As a pet parent, knowing exactly how your furry family member is doing while you’re away is invaluable. We will definitely be booking with Audrey and Karson again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to other pet owners looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet care. **Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cairo!**”
“Hope and her husband are awesome! You can tell they are dog lovers! I first took Samba for a meet and greet and her puppies are sweet and well behaved. During Samba’s stay, Hope sent many pictures and kept me updated. I am sure Samba had a great time! Thank you Hope! I will definitely book 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!”
“Lori took care of our Cavalier for a week and she was wonderful. She treated her like part of their family and gave her a ton of attention and care. Thank you Lori. Anyone should feel comfortable leaving their precious pet in her care.”
“My sweet Stella Bella Roux had the doggie pleasure of staying with Tina for 4 nights recently, I know she really loved being with Tina! Tina took great care of my girl, sent me plenty of pictures and videos each day, I could tell Stella was very happy there. So glad my precious Stella had a wonderful staycation with Tina. I will be happy to let Stella stay with Tina next time, too! 🐾💖🐾”
“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!!”

“Cindy and Steve always take great care of my pups and I’m so beyond blessed to have found them!! They love my pups as if they were their own and I just love seeing my fur babies videos and photos while I have to be away! They are always so happy to spend time with Cindy and Steve and their family!”
“Nicole and her family were wonderful with my pug and French bulldog! They are a true dog family and Nicole has prior dog experience that was very helpful in terms of gauging behavior, interaction with other dogs, and any individual needs. They gave them lots of playtime as well as breaks/rest, asked good questions, and shared photos & videos. Nicole has a large fenced-in yard that my dogs loved tearing around in. Their family also were able to help on short notice when I had a family emergency out-of-state, which made a huge difference. Thank you SO much for caring for my pups!”
