“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!”
“Kaci has cared for my three senior Shelties a couple of times. She has given them lots of TLC. I really appreciate Kaci’s excellent communication skills. She responds quickly to emails & sends updates & pics. I know with Kaci my dogs are safe & receiving the best of care. My Shelties & I are so happy to have connected with Kaci. I have already booked her next visit. Kaci is the best!!!”
About: I’ve been doing dog/cat sitting since I was 13! I have worked in a boarding facility for over a year now. I’m cpr certified as well :) I do dog/cat sitting full time, I’m out of school so your furry friends will have my attention 100% of the time! I also have car transportation I do not offer sleepovers in my home due to be having my own furry companions. I have 5 dogs, a cat, a hamster, and a leopard gecko :)
About: Dogs are a big part of my life and have been for 40yrs plus Trust is the bedrock of a healthy relationship with a dog! I am semi- retired and want to do something I love, so, what better way to spend my time than with dogs and helping their people? I am clean and respectful of others homes and property. I do not offer overnight or boarding at this time, although I may offer at a later date
“Nicole has been wonderfully attentive to our skiddish cats. She had checked in with me everyday and asked all the important questions. From our meet and greet, I could tell she was a kind and sincere person. Her background of working with animals is impressive. We will definitely be booking with Nicole again!”
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.
About: I have been part of the Dogs Inc (formerly Southeastern Guide Dog) organization for 8 years. I have raised 3 puppies and currently hold to hold the title of Puppy Education and Assessment Specialist. I am a canine professional and pet enthusiast In my off time I would love to spend even more time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. After hours walks and weekend care are my forte With extensive knowledge and training with a highly accredited guide and service dog school I follow a fear free and positive reinforcement style approach with all animals
About: With ten years of hands-on pet sitting experience, I provide reliable, personalized care for animals of all sizes and personalities. My background includes extensive work with cats, dogs, turtles, and fish, each requiring unique attention and understanding. I'm currently a full-time college student pursuing my nursing degree, so I have open availability to suit all of you and your furry friend's needs! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routines and environment. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling safe and happy while you’re away.
About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and genuinely love spending time with dogs — playing, exploring, and getting them out for enrichment, not just a quick walk around the block. My own dog and I are regulars at sniff spots and the beach, and I know how much a good sniffy walk can do for a dog’s mood and energy. I have specific experience with reactive dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and keeping walks calm and controlled. At home I’ve got two cats, and between my own pets and my 5 granddogs (a few of whom have physical disabilities), I’ve had a lot of practice adapting care to each animal’s individual needs. You’ll get a reliable, on-time sitter/walker who treats your dog like part of the pack, with photo and text updates along the way. A few highlights: • Experienced with reactive dogs — calm, attentive handling • Loves active outings: sniff spots, beach walks, play sessions • Comfortable with dogs who have physical disabilities or special needs Flexible, fully open schedule — available weekdays, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I can accommodate last-minute requests and recurring bookings alike. Careful, security-conscious sitter. I’m always attentive to leashes, gates, and doors, keeping every pet secure and safe. I will treat them like my own.
About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, an 8 year old Dutch Shepherd & a 5 year old Golden Retriever. They are my absolute babies, and my life revolves around them. I’ve grown up around all sorts of dogs & cats, and am extremely comfortable around them. I live an active lifestyle and walk my dogs 1.5 miles daily. My biggest stressor when traveling is finding adequate care for my boys, so I know what it’s like finding the perfect care solution for your pets. I do in house visits, walks, dog boarding, anything and everything your pet may need. I work a rotation schedule at work, so I’m 2 days on 2 days off, so my schedule is all over the place but also allows me to provide coverage during the week and weekends. I can do home visits, dog walking, dog boarding, oral medication, specialty feedings, dog enrichment, and anything your pet would need to thrive in your absence.
“Vanessa is a kind, responsible, fantastic pet sitter, and she's truly an all-around wonderful person. I'm incredibly grateful to her for the services she's provided us over the years. It is a great comfort knowing my pets are in good hands and are shown love while I am gone. There is nobody I'd rather have watching over my babies. I requested multiple visits in the last several weeks, and Vanessa fit us into her schedule right away. She was flexible and most understanding when I requested some of the scheduled visits be rescheduled, despite it being somewhat last minute due to my work schedule. It is such a relief to have the help she has provided. If you have not had the pleasure of meeting Vanessa, then you have yet to meet the best pet sitter out there. She is the absolute best. I'm thankful to know her. She's not only a very good person, she's also a spectacular pet sitter.”

I’m ready to fill up my schedule with furry friends :) Caring for pets is a regular part of my life. I schedule time every day to walk, feed, and spend quality time with animals in my care. Whether it’s morning check-ins, afternoon play sessions, or evening feedings, I build my routine around their needs to make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy.

“I had to book Aspen very last minute due to a cancelation and she was definitely the right choice. I've never seen my cats warm up to someone so quickly. They clearly liked her. She also did a very good job of keeping the food, water, and litter box full and clean.”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.

I’m also attentive to senior pets who may need extra care, slower walks, medication, or simply a little more patience and comfort.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anna Maria
Jennifer was great! She was able to come spend time with our 2 cats Buddy and Howard when our other rover sitter could not come last minute. She took great care of them and her son was also great playing with them and making sure they did not get lonely while we were away. I will definitely be requesting her again as a sitter. I would recommend her !
Jennifer was great! I just adopted my little cat Jellybean and Jennifer did a great job visiting her during my first business trip. I can tell Jelly was happy and calm even though I had to disrupt her newly formed routine due to travel. The pics Jennifer uploaded were a nice perk during long work travel days. ❤️🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Anna Maria is $25 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $43 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,409 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Anna Maria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
