About: I’m an Animal Studies major with professional animal care experience at a rescue sanctuary and an AZA accredited zoo where I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, farm animals, and even many exotic species. I am trained in animal behavior, enrichment, and handling, and I bring that same care and attention to your pets at home. From energetic walks to relaxing moments, I tailor each visit to your pet’s needs. I’m also trained in giving medications and reading subtle behavior cues, so you can travel or work worry-free knowing your best friend is in capable hands. I am very comfortable with cats, dogs, farm animals, and exotics including birds, horses, lemurs, and more. I’m a college student with a very flexible schedule. If you have a need outside of my availability, let me know and I can arrange if possible. In a client’s home, I am available to do whatever is needed for the pet(s). I am very comfortable working with animals and am confident in my skills.
About: I'm an Arkansas native, raised on a farm with 5 dogs, 5 cats, and lots of other farm animals! Recently, my biggest source of pet care experience is raising and caring for my pit bull, Odin, over the last 6 years. He's my best friend and honestly my whole world! Through caring for him every day, I've learned how important patience, consistency, exercise, affection, and routine are for a happy pet. I've also occasionally looked after the pets of friends and family, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship when they've needed an extra hand. I've always loved animals and tend to connect with them quickly. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, or just have a calm companion around, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I recently moved to Florida from Arkansas and am excited to meet pets and pet owners in my new community. Right now, pet sitting is my primary focus, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available for daytime, evening, weekday, and weekend bookings. As I settle into the area and eventually take on other work, my availability may become more limited, but for now I'm happy to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Every pet is different, so I always try to follow the owner's routine and preferences as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, plenty of attention, and any care you've requested. For dogs, I can provide walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship. I'm patient, attentive, and always pay close attention to a pet's comfort level and body language. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you're away.

Her flexible schedule works perfectly with our needs and her great personality will have us booking additional services in the future ??”

About: I grew up in a dog loving family and I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid with my brother around our childhood neighborhood. I have a little guy of my own and his is my best friend. I am an Athletic Trainer and over summers I get to work half-days with weekends off. I am currently working six hour shifts over the summer Monday through Friday. So I have plenty of time for a stop in or a walks. My weekends are off as well! Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, I do have a secured cable post that I let my dog wander on his 25ft cable (with me present). My dog and I go for lots of walks around the neighborhood and sometimes through GT Bray which is about 5 minutes from my house.
About: I like to work on tricks, patience, and leash pulling while dogsitting. I am not a certified dog trainer but just like to help give dogs structure while in my care to hopefully build or keep good habits for their owners. I am comfortable with providing medications to both cats and dogs orally or with food- no injections. I always leave your home cleaner than I found it, wash my linens, and do basic home cleaning so when you return home you can focus on your fur babies and relaxation! I am currently working a full time position Monday through Fridays 8am-4pm. I can let dogs out before and after work and depending on your homes distance from my office, I can offer a quick lunch time potty break or walk. I treat every animal I come across with the same care and love I have for my own. I am the kind of woman who gets excited seeing any kind of animal while out and about and has to stop the owner to see if I can say hello to their fur baby!☺️ Animals fill my cup up and I hope I can do the same for them. Snuggling with my fur babies is my favorite pastime.

Kaitlyn has cared for my dog and cat through both check-ins and overnight stays, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She is reliable, punctual, communicative, and always provides great updates and photos that give me peace of mind while I’m away. She’s also been able to help on short notice, which I greatly appreciate. Her kindness and genuine care for my pets truly set her apart. I highly recommend her!
Where do I begin ? Lola is truly a wonderful dog walker. She is always on time, incredibly dedicated, and genuinely cares about my dog’s well-being. She’s flexible, helpful, and consistently makes sure my dog is safe, loved, and in a clean, comfortable environment. Having Lola has been such a relief—especially during emergencies when I can’t get home in time. Knowing my dog is treated like family gives me total peace of mind. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Lola, and I would recommend her to anyone who loves their dog like a family member. Thank you LOLA YOU ARE AMAZING

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bradenton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bradenton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bradenton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
