“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!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”
“Huge thank you to Viktoryia for hosting my anxious little terrier while I was on a business trip. Her dog, Coco, took my dog under her wing. My dog had the run of the house which was wonderful as she insists on snuggling with her humans on couches / beds or wherever they happen to be. Thank you, Viktoryia!”
“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!”
“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”
“We had our pair of dogs stay with this family and they treated our dogs very nicely. A mature Golden retriever and a young and energetic aussie Sheppard. They exell at comunications, and are willing to go the extra mile. Highly recommend.”
“Yeini watched my dogs for the first time. She made sure to update me multiple times through the day. I am super happy with her services. My 2 malteses looked happy when I picked them up!”
“Lori has always been so great with Zoey. She’s is up to date with how she’s doing and sending daily photos of Zoey. A quiet, chilled environment which Zoey enjoys :)”
“Our dogs Piper and Tucker loved their stay with Thelma. We had a great pre-meeting, Thelma asked thoughtful questions for their care. We appreciated knowing our dogs were in good hands while on vacation.”
About: I have trained my dogs since I was fourteen and have a love for pets. I don't work and live in a home with a large backyard so your pets will have my full attention. I have two friendly loving dogs I take care of who would love to have extra friends to play with. :) Sorry but no pit bulls or aggressive breeds will be accepted. Thank you for your understanding. I stay at home but of course may go out for groceries or a small amount of time to the gym. My doggies are well taken care of and spoiled and would love some furry friends to play with. My backyard provides a good area for bathroom breaks and is cleaned on a regular basis. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed and are an integral part of my daily life and routine. They are very loved and they know it! :) Bathroom breaks are frequent as I keep an eye on their needs and the water bowls are always clean and available for them.
“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!”
“I highly recommend Yohanna and Mark. They truly love dogs, and the pictures they sent realty showed my dog as a member of their family. I liked that they only watch one pet at a time, so i knew mine was well cared for.”
“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.”

Not only does she ensure that there is food and water, she makes sure they got enough loving which means the world to me. 10/10”
“Nicole was awesome. She handled every one of my care requirements. She connected very well with my cat, he's usually slow to warm up to new people, but he warmed up to her right away. She was reliable, and easy to communicate with the whole time I was away. Highly recommend.”

“From the moment Amelia met my dogs during our meet-and-greet, it was obvious that she was very comfortable with pets, which was extremely important to me. She was punctual for both the meet-and-greet and every visit, followed all of the instructions, and communicated very well throughout. Most importantly, my dogs were comfortable with her, and I felt they received genuinely kind, attentive, and caring care. I will definitely be using Amelia again for my future pet-sitting needs and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: I have had cats even longer than I have kept dogs. My first cat was adopted for me at 5 years old. I am mindful of cats with quirks and understand many do. Feeding, medicating and litterbox cleaning are no new task to me. I would love to meet your kitties!

Currently, I am a part time WFH accountant. I work 20 hours a week, that includes working one day in person on Thursdays 1-5pm. When I am home, I have the ability the take your pet for a walk or monitor them outside in the fenced backyard. I can bring my laptop/phone around to do work on the go too.

About: I’ve had family dogs my whole life and have enjoyed caring for them since I can remember. I currently live with my pet bird, snake, and two lizards. My professional experience is in the wildlife field so I am passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experience in enrichment creation and enjoy finding new and exciting ways to keep your dog mentally and physically healthy. I’m currently in my off-season for wildlife work, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I will be starting a new job at the end of September but can make consistent weekly arrangements. Living with a bird, I am constantly cleaning so this is part of my routine when caring for other peoples pets as well. I am able to bring your pets in my car if needed as well.
“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!”

About: Hi, my name is Arielle :) I work from Home, we have a single family house with a fenced in yard. I have professional pet sitting experience for a company that services Pinellas County but I moved to Sarasota. Since working for a Professional Pinellas County pet sitting company named Calling All Dogs, I developed a deep love for this type of work and am now available for full time sitting and care as a professional independent contractor. My personal/family experience with dogs and cats has been my entire life. We've had dogs and cats in my family since I was born; basically every member of my extended family even had dogs and cats. Our pack was always consisting of strays and adoptees, some of whom came with medications and emotional issues, and so I am comfortable taking care of pets with medical and psychological conditions. I believe I stand out from other sitters and groomers because I really have a passion to develop a friendship and connection to the pets I care for. I know we as the parents of these guys call upon pet specialists in times of need and I am very happy to give lots of love and comfort to your babies while they are in my care. Communication is very important to me as I know it is crucial to you- I would be the same way and completely understand! So I make it a point to respond to messages or phone calls ASAP. If you have any questions, I'm open! Happy to hear from you! - Arielle :)
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all kinds. I take pride in being a responsible, dependable sitter who treats every pet like family. As a local resident and mom to a sweet 4-year-old daughter who also adores animals, our home is full of love, care, and gentle energy. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in safe, capable hands, and I always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening cuddles, I always make time for animals throughout the day. My daughter and I love spending time with pets, so caring for them fits seamlessly into our family’s rhythm. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and giving plenty of attention and love. Because I work locally and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to devote consistent time and energy to each pet I watch, making sure their needs are always met and they feel safe and happy. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of space to play and relax — I have a large home and a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. I keep to each pet’s usual routine with regular walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. No matter where I’m watching them, I treat every pet like part of the family.

About: I’ve taken care of and watched dogs of all ages and sizes. I have trained and raised my own dog of 13 years. I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am currently working full time but I am available most late afternoons and evenings, including the weekend! I am very trustworthy and have excellent time management skills. Communication in advance is key and I respond quickly to messages. My service will focus mostly on walking your dogs since the condo I live in doesn’t allow me to board pets with me, unfortunately.

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.

Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine since I’m currently in school for medical billing, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can easily balance my studies with part-time pet sitting, making sure I have time to give each pet the attention and care they need. It also helps me stay active and provides a great break from my coursework!

About: Hi! I'm someone who genuinely loves spending time with dogs, and I treat every pup as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely neighborhood strolls, or extra time to stop and sniff every tree, I'll tailor each walk to their personality, energy level, and needs. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, so my goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and stress free.

About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Since I work with dogs full time I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding, sitting, and drop ins. I let the dogs outside typically every two hours or less. Caring for pups is my main daily priority! While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. My dog and I like to go for sniff walks so pups that stay with me and like walking will go with us for those. They will also be spending time in the fenced area of the yard or pool cage while I am with them supervising, if it is not too hot outside. I have crates if I need to kennel any pup.

About: I've had my fair share of childhood pets since I was born, from cats and dogs to reptiles and birds. Every pet I've ever met holds a special place in my heart, and I'm hoping your fur-baby will be next! I work full time, but I have after 2 o'clock off every day, which leaves more than enough time to check on your pets! I've worked with free-roaming dogs, fenced in yards, and crate-trained dogs. Relatives of mine have left the care of their dogs and cats to me more than once. I ensure that dogs are walked at least twice a day, and fed at their regular times.
About: I am very attentive in my care giving. There is nothing more important than a safe, loving, and fun environment for your fur baby! I will be your dogs new best friend! My love for animals began when I was small child. Animals are amazing and bring so much joy to our lives... I want to give some of that joy back! I am looking for a fulfilling career doing what I love most, caring for animals and helping those in need. I am very active and believe in daily regular exercise for myself... so walking your dog will be a breeze - (and an additional calorie burning workout for me as well!!) You and your dog will love the attention and care I have to offer!! I work full time and live close by to my home, so potty breaks won’t be missed. I am available most weekends and holidays. I am open to special requests, should you need an extra day or two. I will ensure a safe place for your fur baby while staying at my home by providing a neat, clean space and lots of attention and love!
“Can’t say enough! On time, quick responses, great personality, and super dog skills. Not afraid one bit of my older male pit (not that she should be!) and he has taken to her super quickly. Highly recommend Amber!”
“Highly recommend Crysta’s services! Took great care of my pup! She was punctual, and spent at least 30 minutes with him with his daily walks for the week. I will definitely use her again when I need her services in the future.”
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.

“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!”
“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”
“We had our pair of dogs stay with this family and they treated our dogs very nicely. A mature Golden retriever and a young and energetic aussie Sheppard. They exell at comunications, and are willing to go the extra mile. Highly recommend.”
“Lori has always been so great with Zoey. She’s is up to date with how she’s doing and sending daily photos of Zoey. A quiet, chilled environment which Zoey enjoys :)”
“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.”
“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!!!!!!!”
About: I’m very active who works from home with my own 1.5yr old Lab who’s an absolute angel with no mean bone in his body. There is a large dog park 30 yards from my apartment and a large lake your dogs will get to enjoy plenty as I always aim for 15k steps a day. I watch another large Lab and Golden frequently so very used to handling large, strong dogs! I work from home Monday through Friday and always up by 7am. I take my dog on a long morning walk, lunch and evening with dog park visits sprinkled in between. I along with your dogs love to get sun and fresh air as often as possible. I use the apartment gym for 45min daily and have a Furbo camera to view dogs. My place is 1,005 sq ft inside always cold from the Florida heat with a large fenced in dog park just 30yds from me your dogs will enjoy multiple times a day! I understand how nice it is for a dog to have fun and get all their energy out so you can have extra relaxation and peace of mind!
“Oh my gosh—our fur babies had an absolute blast! Leslie’s home is honestly more fun than our own 😂. We’ve finally found our pups’ new vacation spot. They always have company, and every animal is treated like one of her own children. We felt completely at ease knowing they were so loved and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Audrey and Karson were very kind and welcoming to our Golden girl and excellent with prompt communication. They sent regular photos of her which really helped a lot to know she was doing well with them. Overall, it was an excellent experience w and made it easier for us to be apart from her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her board with them again!”
“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”
“Tina was amazing! She took expert care of Walter, made sure he got his pills on time and sent tons of updates so we felt like we weren’t missing a thing. Highly recommend! Walter even made a new friend in Tahoe :)”
“Nicholas is very friendly and communicative. He sent regular daily updates via photo and video of my cat. My cat warmed up to the space within a couple days and was way more comfortable there than we would’ve been at a kennel. Highly recommend for a safe and comfortable place for your pet!”
“Meghan is very reliable and trustworthy. My dog is a chihuahua and had not been around big dogs in a home before. She came back without a scratch. I loved the videos Meghan sent and I could tell she enjoyed Lilas visit and Lila was taken care of.”
“Our boy seemed very happy when we picked him up. Hope sent pictures throughout his stay and kept us updated. We had never left him with anyone besides family and close friends. We will definitely book with Hope again in the future.”
