“My puppy, Miss Daisy, met Jennifer today. She has separation anxiety and is only 10 months old. I had no worries leaving my home and found her in great spirits upon my return. She paid extra attention to her with a couple of walks and lots of cuddling, too. Thanks, Jennifer, you will hear from me soon!”
“Stacey is great She took care of my cat, Earl for 2 weeks. Excellent communication. Earl is very timid with new people, often hiding under the furniture until they leave. After more than a week, he decided that she would do as my replacement and made some appearances! Highly recommend! Thank you!”
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare, and I have walked/sat for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I understand dog behavior and can tell what they need! I currently work at a doggy daycare and spend most of my time with the pups there. When I am not there, I am available to take dogs on walks, do drop-ins, and house sit. Whenever I have free time, I am happy to take your dog for a walk or drop in for a visit! I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment for every pet I care for, while also making sure they’re having a good time! During walks, I stay very alert to my surroundings, keep dogs on secure leashes, and pay close attention to their body language and behavior. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs at a busy doggy daycare, so I’m comfortable handling different energy levels, personalities, and even the occasional stubborn walker. For drop-in visits, I stick to each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. That includes feeding, fresh water, cleaning up if needed, and giving them attention based on what they like, whether that’s playtime, belly rubs, or just hanging out. I try to make visits something they actually look forward to, not just a quick check-in. I also make sure everything is secure before I leave, doors, gates, and anything else that keeps them safe. On top of that, I keep communication open with owners by sending updates and photos, so you know your pet is not only safe, but also happy!!!
About: I’ve always had a dog in my life. From Great Danes, Labradors, and Havanese, I’ve trained all the ages from puppies to adults, and I’m very experienced in pet care. As I am a college student, not only am I very active but am very free to respond to not only pet needs but their owners as well! I am available most weekends and holidays to care for your pets but I can make accommodations based on what works the best for you. I am home for the summer from college and thus am extremely available to help out at anytime while also providing attentive care to your pets. I will care for your pets in their home according to your requirements. I will ensure the utmost care and safety for your fluffy animals.
About: I’ve owned and cared for animals my entire life. Experienced with dogs, cats, and pocket pets. Currently working in the veterinary field so I’m used to being around animals of all shapes and sizes! Also experienced with special needs animals needing insulin injections or medications dispensed. Currently working weekends at an animal ER so I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have free availability during the week tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday’s. I will follow your instructions to the letter to ensure your pet is getting the highest quality care that can be provided to them, and give you peace of mind that your baby is being taken care of.
About: I am an animal lover with 20+ 5-star ratings on Trustedhousesitter. I have experience caring for rescue pets, large and small pets, administering medications, including injecting medicine, and pets with severe anxiety. I have completed short term and long term (1 month+) pet-sits. My TrustedHousesitters profile, which has my 5-star reviews, is available upon request since Rover doesn’t allow me to post the link. I have added some of the reviews in the Photos section of my Rover profile. In addition to being a great pet sitter I’m also a highly qualified house sitter. Cleanliness is important to me and I always leave the home clean. I have built water infrastructure systems in other countries and resolved multiple issues while I was pet/house sitting so I'm confident in my ability to fix anything in a house. For example, I've resolved issues such as power outages, water heater stopped working, shower drainage issues, fixing a lawn mower, and replacing an oven. I work remotely and I have a flexible schedule so I can be at home with your pets as much as they need it. I can work around the schedule of your pet(s). I have completed 20 pet-sits where I care for the animal in their home. I have a smoke free home and there are no kids nor other pets in the home.
“Very good with my cat & everything went great Highly recommend. Thank you for the great service & peace of mind for me to not have to worry about anything while being out of town.”
“Mckayla did an amazing job watching my cat, Panda! She sent lots of pictures, played with her, and gave clear updates that made me feel at ease while I was on my cruise. Thank you again!”
“Alexandra did a fantastic job with our two cocker spaniels, including our energetic puppy. She spent quality time playing with them, took them outside, and made sure they got treats and attention. It’s clear she’s very comfortable handling both puppies and active adult dogs. Our 3 year old can be a handful, and she handled both of them with ease. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups. We’d definitely book her again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have 3. I have experience with small and big dogs, ranging from a yorkie to a golden retriever. I have taken care of different family members’ dogs and love to play and snuggle with them! I work part time and my days vary so I will make my availability around my work hours. When I work, it is between 7-3:30 on the week days so I could stop in the morning before a shift and right after if it works for you. When I do not work, I have full availability and can coordinate with you how often I should see your pet! I’m very flexible with the wants of the client! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority! I make sure your pets are always supervised, kept in a safe and clean environment, and cared for according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I will gladly send pictures throughout the day if you want updates and see your pets!
“Alina was great in every way, it was a pleasure to work with her. You can tell she really loves animals and made quick friends with our kitty, who is usually very shy with new people. Alina’s communication was excellent from the start, and we never had to wait for an update or a reply. She provided detailed updates after each visit with plenty of pictures. We would love to work with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anna Maria
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She truly made us feel like Lyla was in the best hands while we were away. From the very start, it was clear she cared deeply about making Lyla feel safe and comfortable — even going above and beyond by spending extra time with her during a thunderstorm to make sure she wasn’t scared. She kept us updated with frequent photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Lyla looked happy and relaxed in every update, and it was clear she was being loved and well cared for. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and compassionate sitter. Andrea & Eric

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Anna Maria stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anna Maria. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
