“Great sitter!! Pleasant. Communicative and personable. Very flexible with her schedule. Always checking in and checking out! — sent a lot of pictures. Highly recommended. Will use her again!”
“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”
About: I have experience with all types of dogs and will care for your pets as though they are my own. I have a 6 year old chocolate lab named Brutus! I typically work mornings but am generally available everyday after 2:30 pm. I am also happy to walk and/or play with your pups as you wish! I am very active with my dog and we play ball, walk and he is literally one of the family! I am happy to continue your pup’s typical routine though and will ensure they are safe and loved!
“Stephenie I is a Godsend! We had been in St Armand’s for two months but at the last minute needed to find an experienced sitter for a day of drop-in visits. Stephanie is someone who has earned my respect and trust because of the way she treats my 16-year old bossy and fussy and not all that friendly Papillon. He took to Stephanie immediately! Stephanie followed all instructions to perfection, sent us photo updates before and after every visit - and we came home to a happy dog! We will definitely hope to use Stephanie again. And we absolutey recommend her for you with confidence.”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!
“Sarah took not just great care of our pets, but also our home. She gave updates each visit and was very thorough. We would highly recommend Sarah and will be booking her next time as well.”
About: I've owned a variety of dogs of every breed and size, (Gr8Danes, pekingese, doodles, terriers, the list goes on) all from a very young age. I've had puppies, to special needs seniors... All of whom have different skills sets required for their care. Im currently a stay at home Mom. One of my children is a 2 time cancer survivor and requires a flexible schedule due to her weakened immunity. My schedule is pretty packed as a busy mom before and after school... but my availability during the day and on weekends is usually fairly open for visits, walks, cuddles or any type of care. I'm more than able to follow any schedules you may want to follow. Including eating/medication times as I know and respect how sensitive some animals are.
“Absolutely loved Kinga! Very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt super comfortable leaving my little pup Cooper with her for the day. She also helped me with a last minute drop in visit and was super accommodating. I highly recommend her-will definitely be using her again!”
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 patient with puppies who are still learning and can help reinforce basic training, potty routines, and good manners. I’m also attentive to senior pets who may need extra care, slower walks, medication, or simply a little more patience and comfort. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. im currently a working part time mom who is pregnant with a 3 year old as well but my 3 yr old is in school so im available during the day after 1 and at night time i have a fenced yard! but with my 3 year old id prefer if i was able to have your babies in my home to make things easier
About: I have had a dog my whole life, they have become apart of me. I have dog sat and dog walked for friends and family. Your dog will be like family to me and so loved they won't know what to do with it. I am have a typical Monday-Friday 9-5 job. I work at Brookdale Belle Meade in Belle Meade, TN as the Clare Bridge Program Manager for the Memory Care. I would love to sit down with you and your fur baby to see what you need and how I can help you. My dogs were my best friend and your dog will soon fall in love with the care that I can give whether that is walking or sitting with them. I have one cat but she stays in my room while I have a dog over. Reach out to me if you want the best sitter. I live right next door to my work so I'm only 2 minutes from my apartment so I can drop in if need be to check on your loved animal if they can't handle an 8 hour work day. Your loved animal becomes my animal while I watch them and they can sleep on furniture or with me. What ever their preference is. They have free range of my apartment
About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.
About: I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin on a farm which allowed me to have pets like cows and horses as well as cats, dogs, and fish. From an early age, animals have always been a large park of my life. In college I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Wildlife Ecology. This grew my love for animals to include the wild creatures that live in our back yards. At home, my husband and I have two rescue dogs who have made our house feel like a home. They have travelled the country with us in our camper and I cannot imagine life without our two pups. Sea turtle biologist by morning, animal lover all day long! I am currently working with the local nesting turtles for the summer but also love to provide quality pet care after. I am available for pet sitting as long as pets can go 5-8 hours alone. Daily work schedule varies based on the season but typically won't be longer than 8-10 hours. Afternoon/early evening drop ins or walks can be accommodated most days. I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own. If directions are left by parents, I will follow them and ask any clarifying questions that are needed. I will respect your pets boundaries and ensure they are well cared for.
“Chloe was fantastic! Arrived on time all weekend and spent a considerable amount of time with Bailey before she left. We got terrific updates and pictures, which made us feel very comfortable having her taking care of him. She was fantastic!”
About: I have a 11 year old Aussiedoodle who is full of energy, character, and bouncy. We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training. I would like to offer my time to care for dogs when their owners are away on vacation or just need someone to check in on their fur baby. When you leave your fur baby with me he or she will be in the best care and treated as if they were my own. I work remote Monday to Friday with a flexible schedule that I can rearrange or drop in your home between meetings while caring for your dog. I will text you upon arrival and text you upon departure as I am strictly in your home for your dog’s needs, play time, feeding, and walking. I will send you pictures throughout the day and/or when I drop in.
About: Hi! My name is Hailey, I’m 21 years old and currently in nursing school. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a huge love for them. I currently have four cats and a Golden Retriever of my own, including a blind cat, so I also have personal experience caring for an animal with special needs and understanding the extra patience, attention, and consistency they may require. I also have experience watching and caring for my sister’s dog, along with taking care of my own pets every day. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, patient, and loving looking after your pets while you’re away. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, companionship, and making sure your pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I also have reliable transportation and my own car, which makes it easy for me to travel to your home for drop-in visits, walks, or other pet-care needs. I’m responsible, caring, and excited to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly schedule. I am currently in nursing school and am available after 3:00 PM on weekdays once I get out of class. My weekends are open, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I also have my own reliable transportation, so I’m able to travel to clients and make sure their pets receive consistent and dependable care. In a client’s home, I would follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m also comfortable caring for pets that may need extra patience, since I have a blind cat of my own. I would make sure to follow any specific instructions the owner leaves and keep their home and pet’s space clean and secure while they are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bee Ridge
We had a great experience booking with Tony! He was always on time, communicative, and took great care of Murphy. It was nice knowing that Murphy was getting a good walk and some extra attention while we were away. Murphy clearly loved his walks with him, which made us feel even more comfortable and confident leaving him in his care. We really appreciate how dependable and caring he was and would definitely book with him again!
We had a wonderful experience with Sabrina during her drop-in visits with Luna. Luna is an 8-year-old Siamese with a strong personality — a "cool customer" who shows affection on her own terms and doesn't warm up to just anyone. Sabrina read her perfectly: she gave Luna the playtime and attention she needs without pushing, and let her set the pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates that showed she genuinely paid attention to Luna's quirks. If you have a pet with opinions and want someone patient and truly caring, Sabrina is your person. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.
This is the 2nd time we've used Regan in the last 3 months! She does such an awesome job with our Koko. She's patient with him and her patience has caused our doggie to open up and be comfortable during their visits. Great job, Regan! We appreciate you so much!
Kim is absolutely wonderful and we can’t recommend her highly enough! She watched our two dogs, Rosie and Tigger, and treated them like her own. From the start, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals. She kept us updated with photos and messages, followed all their routines perfectly, and gave them tons of attention and affection. Rosie and Tigger were relaxed, happy, and well cared for the entire time—no small feat with two dogs! It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Kim is reliable, communicative, and clearly a natural with dogs. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to watch your pups, Kim is the one. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
I can’t thank Sofia enough for being so flexible and accommodating. My plans changed unexpectedly, and I had to adjust the schedule for her visits, but she adapted without any issues and was incredibly helpful every step of the way. She kept me updated on my dog the entire time with photos and detailed notes, which made me feel so relieved and at ease. Since it was my first time using Rover, I was a little nervous, but Sofia made the whole experience wonderful. I honestly recommend her 100%! She is responsible, reliable, and truly committed to the pets she cares for. I will definitely book with her again! Thanks so much 💙
Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!
Meara was available last minute and I felt at ease because of how communicative she was! From the pictures it looks like my dogs had a wonderful time with her! I am so grateful for all the details and knowing my dogs were safe and well cared for. I will definitely use her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bee Ridge is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 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 November 2026, there are 1,988 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bee Ridge. 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 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 Bee Ridge. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
