About: I genuinely care about animals and treat every dog like they're my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am dependable, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual personality and needs. I am happy to provide extra patience and compassion for senior dogs who may need a slower pace and a little extra TLC. I understand that every dog is different, and I take pride in making sure each one receives personalized care, plenty of affection, playtime and attention. Your fur babies aren't just pets to me--They are family! I work from home so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available for boarding all weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced in courtyard and one dog of my own. He is a 3 year old mini goldendoodle named Bentley. He loves to play with other dogs and is very gentle. I also have a doggy door that is compatible for smaller dogs.

About: I grew up with always having and taking care of 2+ dogs in my house. Since I always had many dogs in the house, I was asked to dog sit frequently, as well. This included over night stays, administering medications and food, potty breaks, and walks! I absolutely adore dogs and their different personalities. I I adopted a Jack Russel Mix that is now about a year old. She is my best friend. I would love to put my love for dogs towards any pups that might need some care while their parents are out and about. I recently just graduated from college and am starting a Master’s program shortly. I am free mornings and afternoons for drop-in visits and walks for your pup. I can easily walk dogs on a in a designated area or let them roam in a fenced backyard. I can crate them/make sure they are safe and secure before I leave.

She was very flexible with what time I asked her to go and sent lots of pictures of my sweet loves to me which made me so happy. I have a hard time leaving them and she made it so much easier. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: Plenty of references with my regular customers that I can share. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve long been the go-to person for family and friends when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I also volunteer with Dogs Inc., which has given me even more appreciation for understanding dog behavior and providing consistent, thoughtful care. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog mom and recently retired professional who now has the time to focus on something I truly love spending time with animals. Animals have always been part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m also a volunteer with Dogs Inc., which has given me an even deeper appreciation for dog behavior, patience, and understanding different personalities. I’m physically fit and active, so daily walks, playtime, and keeping up with energetic dogs is something I truly enjoy. I share my home with my dog Roxie, who absolutely loves having visiting dogs around. She’s very friendly and quickly becomes the welcoming committee for any new house guests. Because I’m retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, visits, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog needs exercise, a midday visit, or a comfortable place to stay, I love making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and trusting environment and care for every pet just as I would my own, with plenty of attention, love, and care.

About: I grew up on a farm with cows, pigs, goats, dogs and cats, and chickens. I’ve worked in horse barns, done dog sitting, and have experience with many different breeds. I love walking, and I’m looking to help out those in need of dog walking & other services. I’m reliable and trustworthy. I’m currently at home for the summer in between jobs, so I have a very open calendar. Looking to fill my schedule with some new furry friends, including drop-in visits, walks, pet daycare/boarding, etc. I have a nice sized back yard (not fenced currently) and large neighborhood for walking! I have one senior indoor cat in the home. My home is around 2000 sq ft, quiet, with plenty of room to set up pet beds for overnight boarding.

About: Hi! I have been working with pets for 15 years now. I started in doggy daycare and have since worked as a vet tech and professional dog groomer. Comfortable with any medication administration. I’m happy to hang with your pet on the couch or walk/run your dog on request. My work schedule is flexible and I would be happy to work with you based on your pets’ needs! Reach out, I’d love to work with you! I will treat your home as if it is my own! No request is too silly. I understand spicy cats and behavioral dogs can be nervous with someone coming into their home. I will do my best to make everyone comfortable.

About: Hi, Im Alexa! I am 26 and I’m from Indiana. I moved to Florida just recently and I currently work part time and would love to meet new furry friends. I have always loved animals and have had many pets during my life. I have had 4 cats, 2 dogs, and rabbits, hamsters, and birds. I have gained most of my experience dog sitting through my family members. I currently take care of my cousins’ golden doodle and cocker spaniel twice a year since 2020. I have also dog sat my grandparents’ corgi multiple times. I do have some experience farm sitting for rabbits and chickens as well. I am open to whatever needs are necessary for keeping your pets happy and look forward to meeting them. :) I am currently working part time, 4 days a week for around 5 hours a day. I am available 3 days out of the week or longer if my part time schedule will not affect the sitting. If any questions about scheduling please feel free to reach out. :) Your wish is my command! Whatever is necessary to keeping your pets happy and healthy, I am willing to do! Walks, lots of potty breaks, food schedules, medication, cuddles, etc. As long as everything is noted, I am happy to be there

About: - Currently, I WFH part time so I have flexibility to take care of your fur baby. - I have a lovely bunny (Bunzo) that I had with me for 3.5 years and have treated him like a prince. He gets unlimited hay, greens, and a couple treats daily. He runs around inside the house from time to time, but likes to relax under my bed. - I have friends and family whom have dogs and cats that I have taken care of over the years. - Personality-wise: my friends and family would say I am very loving, caring, and bubbly so I will show that same love to every pet I meet and care for. Currently, I am a part time WFH accountant. I work 20 hours a week, that includes working one day in person on Thursdays 1-5pm. When I am home, I have the ability the take your pet for a walk or monitor them outside in the fenced backyard. I can bring my laptop/phone around to do work on the go too. We have a fenced-in backyard where your pet can roam around. I will have my bunny around in the house, but I can keep him in a separate room to roam around, if need be. I will be happy to walk dogs in nearby spots they enjoy.

About: With over 9 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds—from Shih Tzus to Pit Bulls—and I’ve been a dedicated animal lover my entire life. I’m passionate about making sure pets feel loved and safe, and I pride myself on being dependable, even on short notice. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, or administering medications, I’ve got the skills and commitment to keep your pets happy and healthy. My goal is for you to have peace of mind that your pets will be well taken care of no matter where you are. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine since I’m currently in school for medical billing, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can easily balance my studies with part-time pet sitting, making sure I have time to give each pet the attention and care they need. It also helps me stay active and provides a great break from my coursework! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their routines as closely as possible to keep the pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like administering medications or adhering to specific care preferences. I’m very respectful of the home, and I always ensure everything is clean and secure before I leave. For pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment, offering plenty of space for relaxation, play, and comfort. I ensure they have access to all their essentials and, most importantly, lots of love and attention!

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

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Bradenton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bradenton is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $25 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 5,175 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bradenton. 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.

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. 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bradenton. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
