“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!”
“Absolutely lovely couple. Beth and Jeff welcomed my dog into their home and treated him it was their own. Plenty of pictures, and nothing but positive comments make for a relaxing experience. Thank you”
“Denise and Brett were amazing with Xena. Upon drop off, both asked questions regarding Xena’s specific needs, barriers, etc to make sure she was comfortable and “at home” . I would highly recommend and will be using again in the future!”
“Second time my dog has stayed with Fran and it was another wonderful experience. She takes such good care and I love the photo updates she sends. Thank you for taking care of Madi!”
“We had Jennifer watch our dog child for almost a whole month while we were out of the country. She kept us updated, was very patient, and took fantastic care of our little mini Aussie. Can not say enough good things, would use her again”
“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”
“Viktoryia was flexible and accommodating with our tight travel schedule and kept us updated with plenty of photos while we were away. Finn looked happy and well cared for. Thank you!”
“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”
“Cherolyn is wonderful with Simba- she is so happy to spend time with him and I know he gets so much love and attention from the updates she provides. He also comes home tired which is a great sign that he has lots of playtime when he is there. He also squeals with delight and excitement during the car ride when he realizes he is going there. I couldn’t ask for more in a sitter!”
“Corinne was so kind and loving with my dogs! She treated them with such care . I am so thankful for her. She sent updates with pictures which made me feel so at ease, knowing they were in excellent care with her. My dogs were happy there and so well taken care of! Would 1000% ask her to watch my dogs again. Thank you!!!”
“Anne was great and I will definitely use her again. My little Murphy was very well cared for and enjoyed staying with Anne. She sent me pictures every day and reassured me that he was ok. It was a great first time with Rover and now I'm a member for life. Thanks again Anne.”
“We have 2 Goldem Retrievers that are loved like our own kids. Morgan watched them in her home and cared for them as if they were her own. Our one Golden had surgery 6 weeks ago and his activity was limited and she took that into account when letting him play with other dogs and walking him. She is communicative and sent photos every day while in her care. They will definitely go to her home again if we need to be away. Thanks Morgan!”
“Erin took fantastic care of our two senior dogs over the fourth of July holiday. They came home much happier than when they had previously stayed at a kennel. We received updates and pictures and Erin made sure our sensitive dog survived the fireworks. We will definitely be contacting Erin in the future when we need a sitter.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“Lisa was a perfect match for our little Mia! We highly recommend Lisa to anyone that needs to leave their fur baby in the best of hands! This was the first time we have had to leave Mia with someone that we really didn’t know well as well as using the Rover app. After our very first meet and greet it honestly felt like a huge weight was lifted. I wasn’t as nervous about leaving her. Lisa sent regular updates and it was obvious when we came home to get Mia that she was well cared for and had enjoyed her. It was very obvious Mia had made herself at home. Thank you Lisa, we will definitely be calling on you again.”

“Devon was incredible taking care of our cat! She spent so much extra time with her, and we had such peace of mind knowing that our cat is in great hands. It’s always scary leaving your pets in the care of someone else, but Devon made it so easy. Thank you Devon!!”
“We had the unfortunate situation of a hurricane sneaking up on us during this trip. They were fantastic! They were exceptionally communicative and let me know what the overall situation was at home as well as going out just before and then again not long after to check on my pets. They even got my extremely skittish car, that talks to no one, to come out and play most days.”
“Tracy was an absolute blessing!! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I traveled out of state. I received updates and pictures with each visit. It was so comforting knowing my boys where well taken care of while I couldn't be there. If I ever have to leave them again, I will be sure to rebook Tracy with Rover! Thank you Tracy!!”
About: I've had cats my entire life, from childhood through adulthood. Sadly, I do not have any pets of my own at the moment (still recovering from losing my 14-year-old dog), but I'd love to watch yours! I have experience with senior cats, diabetic cats, asthmatic cats, kittens - and my sister is a vet, so she is always on call if I have questions (and she has five cats and two dogs herself).
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, so I understand how different each one can be. I have two cats of my own a tabby and a black cat, so I’m used to their routines and making sure they feel comfortable in their space. I’ve fostered a couple of cats and have pet sat for friends and family over the years. That’s taught me patience and how to adjust to each cat’s personality, especially ones that need a little more time to feel safe. I make sure they’re fed, their space is clean, and they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m calm, reliable, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your cat is being well cared for.
About: I have taken care of pets since a young age! I have 4 dogs of my own that I have raised since they were puppies! Love walking and taking care of dogs.

I have weekends free and my work schedule is easily adjusted for specific offers I will follow all the rules and set up for your pet and treat them as my own. I am a very dependable person served on military and worked with animals in there as well
“Angela was a fantastic cat sitter. She even got the one that usually stays under the bed with strangers to come out and be around her while we were gone. She certainly has a way with animals and we loved having her and planned to use her again soon .”
About: My home is located in south venice with a secure fenced in yard. I adopted a little girl Ellie who is 6 yrs old and a mix of datsun/?. She loves everyone and everyone loves her.

I pet sit for my neighbors and they are the ones who suggested I offer my services out. They will be my best references. I cared for fish, hamsters, bunny's and even pet chickens. Luv them all. Can't watch animal kingdom, even though its nature, breaks my heart. I love furry babies and could not even imagine life without them. Luv luv 💓

Perfect for high energy dogs - Venice
“I’m happy to have met Denise and Brett who took care of our doodle bear Luna! I know she had a fun-filled stay with them! They were communicative throughout the day with her care and activities. Your pup is in experienced hands, our Luna loved them both! We will see you guys soon, thank you so much!”
“Anne was exceptional! She took the time to meet with me and my dog, Cali, to review any special needs etc and took detailed notes. Since my dog has separation anxiety, Anne took the time to work with us on a few techniques to make sure Cali was comfortable. Anne shared some training video links with me so I can work on these with Cali at home. She certainly went well above and beyond any expectations I had and I’m looking forward to having her sit Cali again in the future. It’s clear that Anne is a professional and is concerned with her client’s comfort as well as the dog’s individual needs. Cali loved playing with Bentley and I know she enjoyed her day with Anne. A+++++”
“So amazing and understanding for our last minute drop in. Oliver loved playing with the kids, got pictures and updates. Highly recommended! Would definitely book again! Thank you so much Morgan, you are the best! ?”
“So grateful for Ray and Randy! They were able to take our Ollie for a few hours today so that we could enjoy Easter dinner with at my very allergic brother's house.

“Corrina does a wonderful job with Teddy! He is high energy and has separation anxiety but she is able to settle him down and has him sitting on her lap and calm upon return. She is a very nice person and has a comfortable way. Her pet Romey is a very calm loving dog who takes Teddy in stride. We highly recommend Corinna as a sitter in her home.”
“Erin was very accommodating and took great care with Boddie. So appreciate her willingness to take Boddie on short notice for a few hours while we visited someone in an assisted living facility. Definitely recommend Erin and her family to care for your fur baby.”
About: I've grown up with pets in my home all my life, (until very recently) have always had at least a dog in the family. I have experience with many different breeds ranging from large pit bulls to tiny terriers. I have experience with different stages of life ranging from newborn puppies to deaf and blind elderly dogs. Our whole family has an intense love of animals and nature. I also have experience with house sitting for cats, birds and guinea pigs as well. I have open availability and ability to be flexible with my schedule in regard to drop-ins, walks or boarding. I have a large yard that is not fenced in but have plenty of space to have safe leashed walks along with areas to play. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I have open availability during the week as well as weekends and overnight. I am available to keep your pet at my home as well as reliably come to your home for walks and care. I currently have no other pets in the home. I have multiple dog beds and also a medium size crate on hand along with plenty of dog toys and treats.
About: Hi! I’m Marianna, a lifelong animal lover offering drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats. Animals are truly part of my family. I share my home with my amazing Golden Lab, Phoebe, who is incredibly well-behaved, gentle, and adventurous — she goes paddle boarding, loves the water, and is even a diver! Phoebe is a Theraphy dog . She is a calm, confident, and friendly role model for other dogs. We also have two wonderful cats: Pharaoh (Abyssinian) and Phoenix (Scottish Fold). They are very social, affectionate, and used to being around dogs, so our home is a peaceful, happy, and interactive environment for all pets. I’m certified in Pet First Aid & CPR for both cats and dogs, so your pet’s safety is always a top priority. In addition to loving care, I also offer support with behavioral training and confidence building. I’ve personally trained my own 2.5-year-old pup to a very high level of obedience, and I enjoy helping other dogs feel calm, safe, and well-mannered. Our home features a fenced yard, a swimming pool (with supervision), and plenty of space to play, rest, and relax in a loving, low-stress environment. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, swim, or simply nap in the sun, they will feel right at home here. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I would be honored to care for your furry family while you’re away 🐶🐱💛 Ps . For safety, any signs of prey drive toward cats (staring, lunging, chasing) will result in immediate separation or early pick-up. That’s why Meet and Greet is a MUST for me. I keep a flexible schedule so your pet receives calm, unhurried attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-ins on both weekdays and weekends, and I intentionally limit how many pets I take (1-2 great pets at a time ONLY) to ensure each one feels safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my home with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. Dogs are always monitored, kept on routine, and can be crated if needed. I follow owner instructions closely, prioritize cleanliness, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.

“I had a great experience with this sitter! They took such good care of my puppy Bear, and I could tell he was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. Bear is still young and full of energy, but they were very patient, attentive, and made sure he got plenty of care and attention. They also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Bear up, he was happy and relaxed, which showed me he had a great time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again for Bear! 🐾”
“Carol and Butch were amazing, and such a perfect match for our little Squirt. This was my first time using Rover, and they made it such a great experience.

About: Hi! I'm Jill and I'd love to help take care of your pet - whether that's an afternoon walk, a pet sit or anything in between. I've had pets of my own for many years, including my cat Dot who passed in 2014 and my dog of 14 years Coconut, who I lost in 2026. Now that I don't have pets of my own, I want to spread the love and care for others' animals. I'm a single working professional with a flexible work and volunteering schedule, which means I can spend ample time with your baby - whether they want lots of activity or just someone to hang with them on the couch. Over the years, my family has had many pets (my mom fostered animals out of our home), and my sister is a vet (always on call for me as needed!). I have also watched others' pets for many years (mostly dogs and cats) and have experience with senior pets, diabetic pets and asthmatic pets. Yes, I know how to give a cat an inhaler :) I know your pet is a precious family member, and I will ensure s/he is in the best possible care under my watch - whether it's for a walk or an overnight stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Please reach out with any questions or for more references. I'm currently working remote (from home) and have an extremely flexible schedule. I am also somewhat mobile and willing to travel for pet sitting. I believe routine is important for animals and for people. I will do my best to ensure consistency in your pet's routine - whether that's feeding times, exercise, play time, pet time. I know every animal and every situation is unique. I want to understand how you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable so that I can continue that care.
“Thank you so much for walking Sammi! Sharon was responsible, timely and nice to my dog! She even came by the night before so that she would be able to find our camping site. Thank you again!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. While I may not have years of professional experience, I have cared for dogs for friends and families and always treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I’m on summer break and have lots of free time and flexibility. I’m available during weekdays, especially during the day, but I can also do evenings or nights if needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making time to care for pets is something I genuinely look forward to! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, walking times, and special instructions carefully so pets can stay happy and stress-free. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision, and I always make sure they have a clean, safe environment. I also respect my client’s home and treat both their pets and space with care and responsibility.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15. I have also volunteered in animal shelters when I was younger. Before Rover, I was on the site Doggy Vay Cay serving many clients. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I had a family dog, which passed away 3 years ago along with my cat passing away years ago, therefore I love being around animals I will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I will play tug of war, give them treats if need be, and run around with them. At this time, I will not be taking care of pets in my own home, but hopefully in the future, I will. I treat animals with respect, as if they were my own loving one.

About: I've taken care of pets for friends and family for many years. I've done in home pet sitting, dog walking, and boarding. I have also done volunteer work at many different shelters. I graduated high school in May of 2026 and am currently an online college student with lots of free time to walk dogs at any time throughout the day. I care for dogs by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and cared for during every walk and visit. I make sure to pay close attention to what they need, give them plenty of exercise and attention, and always make sure to treat them like they are my own dog.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve had my own American Cocker Spaniel and also grew up with a Boxer, so I’m comfortable with both gentle companion dogs and more energetic breeds. I also have a grooming certificate and worked as a dog bather in Virginia for several months, where I gained practical experience handling dogs, keeping them calm during grooming, and ensuring their comfort and safety. In addition, I volunteered at dog adoption events, helping care for dogs in new and sometimes stressful environments. This experience taught me how to read dog behavior, build trust quickly, and support dogs as they adjust. I am patient, attentive, and always adjust my approach to each dog’s personality to make them feel safe and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit dog walks, playtime, and visits into my daily routine, and I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also very comfortable maintaining a cat’s routine — including feeding, litter care, playtime, and quiet companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, walks for dogs, and playtime or companionship based on their needs. I always take time to build trust with each pet, especially shy or sensitive ones, and I adjust my approach to match their personality. My goal is to keep them calm, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I lived on a farm growing up and I grew my love for animals. My family has had dogs and cats since I was six. I have worked for a weimerianer breeder and now work as a Lead Shelter Specialist at the Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch. I’ve been in this position for over 3 years. I work with all breeds, temperaments/behaviors, and medical issues. I love to train dogs and I also do light grooming. I work full time at the shelter but I love working with dogs and cats so much I would love to do it in my free time. My apartment has a cute park behind it that is great for potty walks. I also live 5 minutes from a dog beach and park that I love to take my own dog to. I use lamb treats for dogs and chicken treats for cats. I have a medium sized crate available just in case or if a dog is nervous. I use dog shoes that can fit a variety of breeds so their paw pads don’t get blistered from the hot pavement. As well as 24/7 access to water and lots of toys.
About: I've walked my family dogs, and cats for family members for 10 years. To feed them, give them medication and walk and play with them. I also care for my cat (Gabby). I currently work with a small family business for most of my day. Sundays I have all day to play and care for your pets. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I can pass by or do overnight boarding after 5pm. Tuesday and Thursday I attend classes, I'm free around 11am-3pm, but if anything changes I'll keep this updated. I have a cat and she's curious of other animals but she always keeps her distance. I feed her 3 times a day max. She tends to be on her own little schedule every day, but I also take her on daily walks. She's a cat who loves to explore everything with me.
“We were visiting family in Sarasota and last minute needed a dog walker for the day. Christine was available the night before and walked our dog twice for us while we were gone all day. She sent us photos of both walks which was great. Highly recommend and will use her again if we are back in Sarasota with our dog!”

“We had Jennifer watch our dog child for almost a whole month while we were out of the country. She kept us updated, was very patient, and took fantastic care of our little mini Aussie. Can not say enough good things, would use her again”
“We have 2 Goldem Retrievers that are loved like our own kids. Morgan watched them in her home and cared for them as if they were her own. Our one Golden had surgery 6 weeks ago and his activity was limited and she took that into account when letting him play with other dogs and walking him. She is communicative and sent photos every day while in her care. They will definitely go to her home again if we need to be away. Thanks Morgan!”
“Erin took fantastic care of our two senior dogs over the fourth of July holiday. They came home much happier than when they had previously stayed at a kennel. We received updates and pictures and Erin made sure our sensitive dog survived the fireworks. We will definitely be contacting Erin in the future when we need a sitter.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“Barbara is amazing! She is very sweet kind and loving to my little pup. She is super accommodating and sent pictures and videos for me to see. Ciccio was very comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
“We could not have been happier with Marcela. This being the first time leaving our fur babies with someone other than family, our meet and greet with Marcela put our fears to rest. The videos we received, we could tell Landy and Hope were having so much fun, making new friends. definitely would recommend her to everyone. Thank you so much.”
“Marybeth and Russ provided excellent care to Finn. They sent us updates and pictures where we really appreciated. Finn seemed very happy when we picked him up which pleased us.”
“Carol was absolutely wonderful. I was in the area for a wedding and needed a safe and comfortable place for my dog to stay. Carol was great with communication and sent me updates. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Steve and Cindy were great sitters for our dog. They are super easy to work with and did a great job keeping us apprised of how much fun our dog had with them. Would totally recommend.”
“Jade was absolutely wonderful watching our dog, Possha. She’s caring, concerned, loving and so informative to us as we were on vacation. It took a while for Possha to warm up being in a danger and different home but a couple of days in Possha became one of her own pets. She sent a picture of Possha sleeping on her shoulder. I was so touched. Yes we were very very pleased to have Jade watch our Possha!!! Thank you Jade from the bottom of our hearts! Colleen & Dennis Malec”
“This was our first experience with a dog sitter and Suzanne was phenomenal! She had great communication throughout the process, was very easy to work with, and was accommodating to all our dogs needs. Our dog, Rosie, was all smiles when we picked her up and it was obvious she was well taken care of during her stay. We have zero reason to use anyone else in the future. I would definitely recommend Suzanne if you need a sitter.”
“Nicholas was so awesome with my skittish girl. She takes a while to warm up to people but he didn’t give up and gained her trust quickly on our weekend away. He shared so many photos and videos to keep our minds at ease. Great sitter!!!!”
“Morgan was wonderful. Easy to communicate with. We met ahead of time at her place so the dogs could meet her and see where they would be staying. Everything went smoothly and easy. Dogs were happy when I picked them up. I was happy to see them and see they had been well taken care of how I was away. I would highly recomend Morgan.”
“Kimber is the BEST!! We use her five or six times a year between doggie daycare and boarding. Zoey loves to go to her house and it's such a relief knowing that she's getting great care when she's with Kimber. We always receive videos during her stays.”
“Ray and his son took great care of our pups. This was their first time away from home. I got pictures of my boys everyday along with a little message letting me know they were doing well. I can’t thank him enough for his caring nature and love he has for dogs.”
“Linda and her family once again took excellent care of our 2 dogs for several weeks. They are very patient and kind with our babies and always provide them with excellent care and lots of attention. We always appreciate that Linda sends us updates, photos and videos so we know how the dogs are doing and we never have to worry if they are being treated well. We know they are happy and comfortable and our dogs love to be with Linda. She is a 2nd mom to them now after taking care of them many times. We highly recommend Linda - she always goes above and beyond and truly loves animals and wants the very best for them, which she provides!”
“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“She took care of our dog who can be difficult without any issues. She communicated well throughout the stay and sent pictures consistently. I would recommend her to everyone and will use her again in the future b”
