“I have just started using the Rover app and I am extremely happy and grateful for finding Stephanie. She is very professional, great in communicating and very attentive. Most importantly she is very kind and very caring of my Stella. When Stephanie stops by my mind is definitely at ease knowing my Stella is in great hands. You will not be disappointed booking with Stephanie 😊”
“Jamie is great with our dog & cats! She is friendly, & reliable. Excellent communication - we loved receiving updates & pictures of our pets that she sent regularly while we were away.”
About: Growing up I had 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 horses and a family of raccoons. I went to cat shows to learn about cat care, and started volunteering with the Animal Humane Society and Wildlife shelters, which I still do today 20 years later. I am single, no kids, go to church, am a librarian and am dependable and honest. I do work full-time with the Government of Manatee County, but go to the owner's home during lunch if they are close enough to where I work. I stay over at the owner's house and am very passionate and cuddly with the pets. I don't do pet sitting in my home, but I certainly have gained the trust of others from overnight stays in many people's homes over the year while growing up babysitting children animals, and home care while in college.
“Stacey is amazing!!! I've used her 3 or 4 times now when I've gone out of town. She drops in, takes care of my cat, makes sure everything is in order. One time she even went to the rental office to tell them I had a leak dripping in my apartment. Could have been a HUGE mess by the time I got home but I was able to make sure maintenance got in there ASAP and fixed it. She's awesome. I highly 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. ❤️🙂”

“Brandi and Cayden took great care of our two cats while we were away for six days. They were reliable, sent updates every visit and spent time playing with our cats — even enticing our shyer cat to join in. Thank you both!”
“Adrienne has been a lifeline for me. With my schedule at work and personal life constantly changing she is always readily available to come look after my pup. She sends pictures and is always in communication with me which puts my mind at ease leaving. 10/10 would highly recommend!!!!”
About: Hi my name is Sienna and I’m so excited to meet new friends! I babysit all kinds of pets and ready for anything! I have two cats, one dog and a hedgehog of my own so I know my way around! I had a pup for 17 years so I’m very familiar with different age groups. I now have a 4 month old puppy and she’s crazyyy. I love animals so I’m excited to meet new pets! I’m currently a college student so trying to save up for classes books ect! I’m going for my BA so definitely takes up time! When im off of classes im open to coming after im done! My classes are in the morning so most of my afternoons are free! Just send me a text and ask what works for you and I’ll be able to give you a time that helps you the most :) I like to take pets on walks to help them get out of the house, I know dogs love to go explore and I’m up for it too! Most of the days are hot so the best times are in the afternoon so works perfectly for me!
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.
“Nicole did a fantastic job with my kitties again. Even our extra shy cat is beginning to come out for her 🖤 it’s so awesome finding a reliable sitter locally that makes traveling way less stressful for us! We highly recommend Nicole.”

“Mykeirah was amazing! Prompt, caring, proactive. It was my first time using rover for a sitter and she certainly set the bar. Kept the cat areas very clean and tidy, made sure they were played with fed, and even left them a little gift. I’m so grateful for her. Thanks Mykeirah! Will hire her again”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bayshore Gardens is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $23 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
