About: Growing up, I always begged for a pet every chance I got. I have so much love, appreciation, and passion for not only pets but for animals as a whole, and this hasn't changed since I was a kid. In my free time I enjoy playing with my pets and watching animal documentaries. In terms of experience, I am PetTech certified, I am working with a local pet sitting business for over a year now, where I do drop-in visits for dogs and cats, as well as walks and house sitting too! I also previously volunteered with a local animal shelter where I worked with mainly cats and kittens, and dogs on occasion. As a volunteer, my responsibilities mostly included transport, playing with the shelter animals, weighing, and checking in/watching. I currently have 2 cats, 1 male and 1 female, that I got as kittens. I have had these cats for about 2 years. In the past, I had a dog for 3 years. My responsibilities with these pets include/included feeding, bathing, playing, walking, cleaning up after, etc. I am not currently working and have reliable transportation.

I pay close attention to body language and surroundings, keeping walks low-stress so every dog feels secure, enriched, and understood.

I am completely free on the weekends for drop-in, extended visits, or over night stays! I prefer to take care of animals in their own homes to reduce the stress. A slow introduction is a must, especially as a new person in their environment. I follow feeding instructions to a tee as well as any other instructions left. Play time and walks are a must!

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bradenton
I couldn’t have asked for better dog walkers. Not only did they get my dog to walk longer than I ever can, their pictures, distance and time reports were fantastic and so reassuring. This was my first time using dog walkers and my only wish is I could use them every time!! The girls were so professional, attentive and loving to my dog. I don’t have children so my dog is my child and I can honestly say they are the absolute best. Thank you so much for the fantastic help, Stephanie and Eliza, you are the best.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Bradenton on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,274 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bradenton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bradenton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Bradenton.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bradenton. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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 walker.
