“Beth was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Thor and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and treated him like part of her own family. Thor came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and excellent communication. We would be delighted to book with Beth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“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.”
“Marley was amazing with our little sweet Rosie. She was very gentle with the needs of her separation anxiety. Marley took care of all her needs and was very patient and gentle with Rosie’s nervousness. Would definitely use Marley again and highly recommend her!”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Merve and her family, who took incredibly thoughtful care of our Havanese 12 month old pet, Kringle. She sent pictures almost daily, filled us in with updates, and her own little dog, Thor, became his best friend. I wholeheartedly recommend Merve to anyone needing a loving and caring home for temporary pet care. She is the best! PKringle and Thor even have a dog park date planned for later!”
“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!”
“Nathalie was absolutely wonderful. She was available and flexible for drop off and pick up, even though she leads a busy life. She took excellent care of Gracie. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Nick was an amazing host to scout for 10 days. This was my first time boarding a dog so I was not sure what to expect, but Nick went above and beyond to keep me at ease while I was out of the country by sending multiple photo/video updates every day and notes about scouts behavior and integration with the other animals.”
“Jennifer is lovely and a very caring person for my two young Havanese. She sent us pictures throughout the day. We felt confident leaving them with her. We had a video chat first and met her in person when dropping the dogs off. She showed us around where they would be playing and introduced us to her young daughter. She and the dogs seemed to hit it off.”
“Our puppy, Theo, had an amazing stay with Sofia! From her very first communication, Sofia was caring, kind and very responsible. She asked thoughtful questions about his needs and care and helped him feel right at home. Theo made a great dog friend during his stay and came home happy and relaxed. Thank you, Sofia!!”
“Kari and Eric were sitting my dog for 2 weeks. They are kind and caring people, and treated my dog as their own. Kari provided regular updates with photos. I would definitely recommend them as great dog sitters, and will use their services next time. Thank you. Leon.”
“Viktoria and her family were very welcoming to Allie. She seemed to fit right in! They had plenty of space for her to explore and I’m sure she enjoyed her stay. Will definitely use her again.”
“Leslie was incredible and so helpful with Milo. We had the unusual request of having her take him after our wedding ceremony and she did amazing. Highly recommend!”
“Cindy & Steve were wonderful with Lulu! She stayed with them for two days and was so excited to see them again, which says everything. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they watch and treat them like family. Highly recommend!”
“I was nervous the first time I used Rover but from my first meeting with Lindsey she put me at ease. My dog Finn loved her on sight and one of my. 2 cats came right up to her. Finn went to her house to stay for 4 nights and Lindsey came daily to take care of the kitties. She even brought in the mail while we were gone. Ever day she sent pictures and text messages to let us know how they were. By the time we came home Finn had more than made himself at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lindsey in the future.”
“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!”
“James took such great care of my dog Fletcher for a 3 night stay! I got daily updates with pics and James had Fletcher happily waiting for an easy quick pick up! My dog LOVED playing with James' dogs. HIGHLY recommend James!”

“Carolina was an excellent petsitter! Very timely communication and very conscientious. It was great to get daily photos and updates of our cat. Would definitely recommend Carolina and have already booked her for our next trip!”
“Kathy B. is great for our little Peanut. When we travel she is able to help us out with daily visits and we know Peanut feels very comfortable around her. We have used Kathy several times now and always feels we are leaving Peanut in very good hands. Would highly recommend!”
“Ying has been so incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the entirety of this process. I needed help taking care of my father’s cat while he was in the hospital, and Ying went ABOVE and beyond. She displayed nothing but professionalism and kindness, and showed so much love to my sweet furr-sibling during this tough time. We received photos and videos of her time spent, and truly felt the love she put in to everything she did. We couldn’t have asked for anything or anyone better!!”
“I can’t thank Sofia enough for being so flexible and accommodating. My plans changed unexpectedly, and I had to adjust the schedule for her visits, but she adapted without any issues and was incredibly helpful every step of the way. She kept me updated on my dog the entire time with photos and detailed notes, which made me feel so relieved and at ease. Since it was my first time using Rover, I was a little nervous, but Sofia made the whole experience wonderful. I honestly recommend her 100%! She is responsible, reliable, and truly committed to the pets she cares for. I will definitely book with her again! Thanks so much 💙”

About: Welcome to my home-based dog boarding experience, where your pup becomes part of the family! I can offer a huge fenced-in yard perfect for safe play, exercise, and outdoor fun. Overnight boarding is available for potty-trained pets, and dog walking can be included as part of their stay. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I strive to provide loving, individualized care for every guest. Solitary boarding accommodations are also available upon request for pets who do best in their own space (additional fee may apply). Because my home includes elementary-age children, all pets must be child-friendly. Your dog will be cared for by me and Melody — our lovable, mischievous 1-year-old rescue pup! Pet care is naturally built into our daily routine because animals are a big part of my home and family life. There is always plenty of love, attention, and activity to go around. Dogs in my care enjoy regular outdoor time in our large, fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules tailored to their needs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I attend to other responsibilities during the day, I ask that your pet is crate or kennel comfortable to ensure their safety while we are away. Pets staying in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of supervised outdoor play in our large fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules based on your pet’s routine, and lots of affection and companionship throughout the day.
“Christine was awesome and we can't say enough good things about her. We received daily pictures and updates during our time away and she was extremely helpful with our older, 17-year-old, cat, as well as with our two 9-month-old kittens. Christine was very responsive to our texts, and we will continue to book her as our caretaker when we are away.”
“Nick was great! My cats seemed content and not stressed at all. He sent pics and was very responsive. I would definitely recommend him and will book with him again.”
About: As someone who likes to travel, I know the anxiety of being away from your beloved pet. I myself have a rescue cat and older dog. I have also dog sat for family members; ensuring walks, vet visits, and all other needs were taken care. I love animals. While your away, I'll make sure to care for them like your not even away. :D
About: Caring for cats is all about understanding their unique personalities and needs. From my years of experience, including caring for my own beloved British Blue, Lulabelle and my orange Tabby, Pumpkin. I’ve learned that every cat deserves personalized care and a gentle touch. Whether it’s providing extra TLC for senior kitties or simply making sure each cat feels safe and cherished, I’m here to make every purr count.

“Stephany was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving Franklin with her and she helped me out in a last minute emergency! I would recommend her highly for anyone who needs a loving safe place for their dog!”
“Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!”
“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: I'm new to Rover.com as a pet sitter, but I have a lifetime of experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels.

Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe, love on them and will be their fill in mommy/daddy until you return. ;) I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility as this is my only job at the moment. I am off during the summers so I enjoy working with animals. During the school year I’m a school counselor. I have flexibility with the job as I’m able to leave for a lunch break/check on your pup. Also, my counselor hours are 8:15-3:30. I am in early and off early to be able to check on your animals. *** I will be in town for the holidays :) I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them if it helps them feel more comfortable. That is not a requirement though. I prefer going to your home only because the animals tend to do better in their own house.
“Had a busy day at work and Tiffany had the ability to watch my new Aussie puppy from a rescue, he is only 5 months old. He was so happy to be with her. Came home and took a nap. Thank you!”
About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and bunnies, caretaking has always been second nature to me. As a former teacher, I am now leaning fully into my true passion, and bringing comfort and happiness to pets gives me so much genuine joy. Whether your family member is a high-energy pup, an independent cat, or a gentle senior who needs a patient touch and daily medication, I treat them with the exact same structure, love, and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to keep your furry best friends safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you're away! Because my other part-time commitments total only 6 hours a week, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time to focus entirely on caring for your pets! Here is exactly when I am briefly away each week: Weekday Evenings (2 total): At a gym, I coach a few adult workout classes in the evenings. Sunday Mornings: I teach Sunday school to preschoolers for a brief session. Outside of these short windows, my days are completely open. This minimal schedule allows me to offer highly attentive, consistent care, adapt easily to your pet's normal routine, and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day! Whether welcoming a pet into my home or staying at yours, safety and clear structure are my top priorities. My home is a pet loving environment shared with my friendly dog and two cats. To ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable, I utilize sturdy pet gates to easily separate animals for quiet time or feeding, and I am more than happy to accommodate crating upon request. Because my part-time jobs take up only 6 hours a week, pets in my care receive constant supervision and a highly consistent routine. As a former educator, I am meticulous about following your exact instructions, maintaining strict safety boundaries, and keeping you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, respected, and thoroughly loved.

My experience along with my Pet First Aid Certification allows me the freedom and ease of working with all dog breeds and types of pets. I can administer medications when necessary. I have volunteered for a nationally renown zoo and aquarium for several years and currently volunteer at a local animal shelter in Sarasota. I also have owned & fostered special needs animals. My passion = animals! All day, every day! I can help you with all your dog needs. I work in Sales and I am an Independent Contractor and therefore make my own schedule. When I am watching pets, they have my full attention. I have a secure fenced in large space for dogs. I introduce my dogs to clients dogs very slowly and keep them separated until all are comfortable.

I only have one of my dogs with me at my home as my other dog is with my mother in my home town.
About: Hello, I'm an experienced and affordable dog sitter (lover) located in South Sarasota! I walk, run, play, feed and love on your fur baby while you're away for the day! I treat your home with the same care I’d give my own, keeping everything tidy and clean during every visit. I believe good communication makes all the difference, so you can always count on quick replies and plenty of adorable photo updates. You’ll know exactly how your furry friend is doing and feel all the love, even while you’re away. 🐾💛 I also have experience giving medication and caring for elderly and special needs dogs! I have cared for my own diabetic dogs who needed daily insulin injections, and I have given pill medications orally. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog- Let's schedule a meet and greet! :) I am working part time and have plenty of time to care for and play with your pup! We will have lots of fun playing together. I have a lot of love to give and enjoy my time with dogs. However, I am not currently offering in home daycare or boarding services.
About: I'm new to Rover.com as a pet sitter, but I have a lifetime of experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞
“How lucky we are that we found Alina. Our Cockapoo, Honey, does not prefer to walk with a stranger when she cannot still view our house. Adina was firm and lifted her up for a little way and then put her down onto the pavement and with encouragement got Honey to finish the walk. In the past, Honey was scared to go to the dog park and if she went there she growled at other dogs. Adina has gotten her to feel secure and enjoy going there. This is a huge change and is expanding our dog’s activities.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs of every age from puppy to senior. And I have taken classes with my own dog for basic behavior training, reactivity, and anxiety. I’m highly communicative and understand how important updates are when you’re away from your furry family member. You can expect prompt responses, regular photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving personalized care. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a quieter routine, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’m a teacher off for the summer so I have a pretty flexible schedule to make time to walk, play, and check on dogs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm environment and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate training, and household rules. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I provide plenty of affection, supervision, and positive attention while ensuring pets have a safe, clean environment. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout their stay or visit.
About: Hello! My name is Skylar Kerr and I am an Elementary Music teacher in Sarasota. I LOVE dogs, and being in a place where I can’t have a dog of my own yet has been hard. I am excited to get to love your dogs and play with them now too. Pet sitting is something I've done for many years and have grown up with 5 dogs of my own. I also have experience with dogs of all ages. From house sitting a 1 year old for two weeks, as well as helping to take care of my own 15 year old pup who I had to help go in and out to use the restroom and wake to make sure he eats. I love going for walks and know that some dogs need more patience than others, and some need more energy than others(LOTS MORE). I am excited and look forward to getting to play and bond with your puppies!! I am currently working full time so during the week I am available in the morning and afternoons to check in on your pups. And on the weekends have all the time to give them the love and activity they would need while you’re away! I live in a ground floor condo giving easy access for pups of all ages, as well as a large community area to walk around with lots of grass and open space. I can happily crate your dog if needed or give them the living room to lounge in while gone for short periods of time. And will happily continue whatever care your pets are used to in your own home!

“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.”
“Nick was an amazing host to scout for 10 days. This was my first time boarding a dog so I was not sure what to expect, but Nick went above and beyond to keep me at ease while I was out of the country by sending multiple photo/video updates every day and notes about scouts behavior and integration with the other animals.”
“Kari and Eric were sitting my dog for 2 weeks. They are kind and caring people, and treated my dog as their own. Kari provided regular updates with photos. I would definitely recommend them as great dog sitters, and will use their services next time. Thank you. Leon.”
“Cindy & Steve were wonderful with Lulu! She stayed with them for two days and was so excited to see them again, which says everything. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they watch and treat them like family. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Pamela is the best sitter we could ask for. Every time we go on vacation, Nico gets one too. He’s always so relaxed and happy being with Pamela and her family , you can tell he’s genuinely loved and cared for, not just watched. We never worry when he’s with her, which as dog parents is honestly the biggest gift. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Nico (and we!) are always so excited for his next stay with her.”
About: DOODLES ONLY PLEASE. I work from home. Had an Auzzie Doodle who lived over 15+ years and passed a year ago (in the profile picture). Dog friendly house - fenced in back yard. Primarily open to watch any kind of ...doodle. Doing it because I miss my old boy and have the time since I work from home. You and your doodle (and me) will be very happy. I'm available as I work from home and have always had a dog so I know how to bond quickly with them so they feel safe in my home. Like they were my own. Very calm environment. No other animals, no children. Just me and your dog. Nice neighborhood for long walks as needed.
“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!!”
“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!!!!!!!”
“Morgan is an amazing dog sitter! It’s so nice to have someone that spends their life taking care of dogs watching over your fur kids and not someone just trying to fit the dogs into their life. As happy as my dogs were to see us, we think they were sad to leave Morgan’s house and the new buddies they met and played with!! We highly recommend Morgan!!”
“Tiffany was absolutely amazing with Gunner! She was in contact with us throughout the day and provided pictures of Gunner, which made us feel at ease. Would totally recommend her!”
“Lucca our 11-year old cavalier has never had a pet sitter that wasn’t immediate family. Kelli offered to meet before our vacation and we were comfortable from then on. She asked extensive questions about his care & handled his somewhat complicated medication and food schedule like a pro. So happy to have found Kelli. She is very trustworthy and gave excellent updates every day. Lucca was so loved while we were gone & his transition back home after 5 days was seamless. I will be contacting her soon to help again. :)”
“Ray took my pup Charley on 1 day notice when I was in a bind and did a great job taking care of her. She is a handful and im deeply grateful for taking such good care of her. I would definitely use him again.”
About: I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I am comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care as instructed, and giving them attention and companionship. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's individual needs and routine. I treat every pet with kindness and care, as if they were my own, and I am committed to ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work full-time, but I have availability after work on weekdays and plenty of time on weekends to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors. My son and I love visiting local parks and walking the trails several times a week, giving active dogs plenty of exercise and fresh air. I also provide attentive care for other pets, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention while respecting their individual routines and needs. I care for every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
“Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.”
