“Eve was absolutely fantastic! She watched our pit bull mix, Maizy for an extended stay. My partner and I felt so at peace knowing Maizy was well cared for while we were on vacation. We were initially very anxious to leave her with anyone due to some separation anxiety and reactivity issues. Eve handled her with such care. We received daily updates with photos, too. I would absolutely recommend Eve for your pet!”
“Awesome experience with my Mazie Gray. My girl has separation anxiety real bad and Brittany and Steve took great care of my doggie. I’ll be reaching out next time we a safe place for Mazie to spend a night or two”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our sweet Biscuit! She was incredibly loving, attentive, and thoughtful throughout his stay. She kept us updated with the sweetest messages and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such wonderful hands. We’re beyond grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Mikayla is wonderful! She’s so good with all pets, she just gets them. She cared for our 6 month old puppy and 1 1/2 year old and they were so happy. Great space to play and her dogs were kind and loving. We received photos and updates that allowed us to know all was well. Mikayla communicated beautifully when we reached out in need and was accommodating to our flight schedules. It’s comforting to have found her and we will certainly reach out again. Thank you, Mikayla and family!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my puppy, knowing he was with a loving and professional couple. They have an amazing yard, can go in and out. I received videos of my puppy playing and having an amazing time. Thanks so much!”
“There weren't more stars or I would have rated Claire higher! She was very flexible and took great care of my special needs dog. Idgey had a wonderful time-I could tell by all the pictures we received while on vacation. We loved seeing her adventures and it put our family at ease. Thank you, Claire! I highly recommend!”
“We did a pre-visit to see how our dog would be with Lexi, the dog was great with her. We received updates and pictures every day while our dog was with Lexi. Our dog looked great when we picked her up after our Cruise. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and companion and definitely use her again as needed.”
“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!”
About: I have had a dog most of my life. I have also watched dogs for family and friends on several occasion's. Let your four legged child join our family. I'm currently retired. I take my dog Angel for a walk 4-5 times a day depending on the weather. Often one of our walks leads to the neighborhood dog park. I live in a main floor condo with a screen in lanai. I have a friendly dog to keep yours company. We can create your dog if that's what you like but would prefer they just join our family while you are gone.
“Sky was really amazing and flexible. She took great care of my Pug and was very quick to reply every time. It was great to work with her and I could tell she really enjoys this.”
“Second time leaving our 9 month old puppy with Emma and William. Mush has the absolute best time every time she goes here I genuinely feel like she’s going on her own vacation she has so much fun every time. Could not recommend these two more.”
“Kylee was amazing. My dog can be timid and have separation anxiety when she's away from me, but Kylee gave her the best vacation. She kept us updated and communication was great. Our dog had a great time with her and absolutely adored her. I highly Kylee for your dog sitter. We I'll definitely use her again - thank you!”
About: I’m so excited to watch your family members for you 😊 I personally own an older cat as of now, but planning for many more in the future :) I’ve always had a special connection to animals and I have a lot of experience caring for various ages, breeds, and sizes of cats/dogs/animals. I love a home full of animals, so my additional pet rates are discounted 💗 I am also happy to feed fish, birds, water plants(plants are babies too!!), and grab your mail :) Lastly please note: I only work with one client’s pets at a time and do not over-cross my bookings. I find it is much more beneficial to my own schedule and the animals in my care, so rest assured that your animals will have my undivided attention while in my care:) I work a 9-5 M-F in West Bradenton, so I take care of all the animals in my care in the morning, on my lunch 12-1 (flexible day-to-day), and after work! Occasionally while I’m pet sitting I will work from home, but it really depends on my work load for that week. I will be happy to take care of your animals as you normally would in their home and I love written instructions and lists, the more detailed the better I can keep your animals happy in your absence :)
“Took fantastic care of our pup and you could tell in the pictures how happy she was. Her pup, Lulu , is as sweet as they come and very playful and tolerant. I will definitely use again and highly recommend.”
“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!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Anna Maria can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Anna Maria home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Anna Maria.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anna Maria. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Anna Maria sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
