“Sky made me feel really comfortable when she showed up for the meet and greet with my dog. She sat with Hachi and took her time, learning her behavior and making her feel comfortable. This really put me at ease. She is extremely responsive and keeps you informed. She sends pictures and videos of how Hachi is doing.”
About: I raised 3 daughters and they turned out OK! Your pets will be fine! I’m a retired snowbird living part of the year in Bradenton! Retired school counselor actually, so no pet can be as challenging as my students! As for pet experience, I’ve had 2 golden retrievers and bred them to for a total of 25 puppies. Add to that lots of cats, 3 horses and a goldfish or two, but now have an empty nest! Let me get my fix on your fur baby and know you’ll have piece of mind knowing they will be loved and cared for! I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs so I am ready to meet you and your fur baby! Ready-set-go! Woof! I work very part time so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am willing to travel to your location to provide care for your pet. I prefer to take care of your pets in your home or neighborhood. My winter home is currently in an RV park that restricts animals.
“Always take care of the doggos like they’re theirs! Always leave a detailed message of how their time was with the babies and I laugh because it always sounds so accurate with how they behave. Would highly recommend Stephanie and Elizabeth!!”
About: I have had fur babies my whole life. I'm mature, dependable, trustworthy, and love pets. I have the time, patience, and energy to give your furry family members the dedicated attention they deserve. I will prioritize their safety, routine and happiness above all else. I have property rentals that don't take much of my daily time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. My goal will be to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible while you are away. I will have a small list of questions, so we cover everything. I will send you a daily photo and updates, so you don't worry. I will keep your home clean, secure and exactly how you left it.
About: I have experience handling all sized dogs! I grew up with small dogs like bulldogs, terriers, pugs, etc until my mom rescued a pitbull who we have loved and has been the best dog! I have experience dog sitting anywhere from bulldogs to golden retrievers, golden doodles, and mastiff! I think what sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience with having lived with dogs my entire life. I am fully aware of their needs for exercise and love. I have been a dog lover since I can remember and it brings me joy to take care of them and to provide a warm and reliable environment for them. My schedule right now is pretty flexible and I would be willing to work around whatever schedule necessary for your dog to get the care it needs throughout the day! Thank you for considering me! I am pretty flexible and available during the week and weekends. I have two part time jobs that are flexible and allow for me to make my own schedule. I am unable to house dogs at my own place due to my renters agreement, however, I am beyond trustworthy with staying at other peoples homes and/or visiting for walks. I strive to keep the home clean to the degree that I found it and make sure the dog or cat feels safe in its home.
About: I was raised in a family full of animals growing up, and was taught how to take care of and train our dogs since I was a child. I have walked 350+ dogs and have a 5 star rating on other dog walking apps. Having been around dogs my whole life, I realize that every dog is different, and each need their own unique care and attention so they can be mentally and physically happy and healthy. I will make sure your pup is loved as if he/she were my own, and they will have a blast too! I love taking tons of photos and videos, and love to keep you posted on how your pup is doing during their stay/walk. Looking forward to working with you.
About: I am an animal lover with 20+ 5-star ratings on Trustedhousesitter. I have experience caring for rescue pets, large and small pets, administering medications, including injecting medicine, and pets with severe anxiety. I have completed short term and long term (1 month+) pet-sits. My TrustedHousesitters profile, which has my 5-star reviews, is available upon request since Rover doesn’t allow me to post the link. I have added some of the reviews in the Photos section of my Rover profile. In addition to being a great pet sitter I’m also a highly qualified house sitter. Cleanliness is important to me and I always leave the home clean. I have built water infrastructure systems in other countries and resolved multiple issues while I was pet/house sitting so I'm confident in my ability to fix anything in a house. For example, I've resolved issues such as power outages, water heater stopped working, shower drainage issues, fixing a lawn mower, and replacing an oven. I work remotely and I have a flexible schedule so I can be at home with your pets as much as they need it. I can work around the schedule of your pet(s). I have completed 20 pet-sits where I care for the animal in their home. I have a smoke free home and there are no kids nor other pets in the home.
About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 3 cats and now have 2 cats of my own. I would walk to neighbors houses just to play with their pets! Mice, lizards, chinchillas, dogs, cats, any pet you could have, I was there to play with them! Throw any challenge my way and I can handle it as I have taken care of pets my whole life in many situations I live right next to my job offering me immediate access to my home if needed. I am home everyday for lunch requiring me extra time to care for animals. I also do not go into work on Mondays and Wednesdays until 10 and get out of work on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3 making a lot of time available everyday for animals! I live next to an open field awesome for running dogs around. I also live in a nice HOA community that loves dogs and has ample room for them. The inside of my house is extremely pet friendly as many of my family members have pets that come over my house
About: My tagline is how I see pets - they are family! I grew up having dogs, cats, bunnies, and fish. When I moved to Florida 5 years ago, I didn’t have any family so I decided to pick up pet sitting. I understand the importance of catering to each animal’s needs. If your pet is laid back and wants cuddles, we can do that. If your pet is energetic and needs to run, we can do that too! I look forward to meeting you and your furry fam 😊 I currently have a full time job M-F, 8-5 that is flexible with working from home. There are rare times where I need to go into the office, so I require that your pet is fine being alone for 4-8 hours. I also have a dog and cat who are friendly with other dogs and cats. My dog is 2 and loves to play. When boarding, I have ample space to set up your pet’s crate, bed etc in the living room or bedroom if they typically keep it there. I’m a big cuddler, so I am fine with them sleeping in the bed if that is what they are used to. I have a fully fenced in backyard, so rest assured your pets can run free safely. I also just purchased a kiddie pool for fun water days in the hot summer heat!
About: Hey I’m Kenzie, I work at a vet clinic as a veterinary assistant and also in kennels taking care of dogs and cats. I’ve been working in animal care for over 5 years now I’ve worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and vet hospitals and I moved down to Florida recently from North Carolina. Currently taking care of your pets is my full time job so my schedule is always open and I’d love to get to know you and your fur babies! Walking the pets, giving them all the kisses and cuddles they want, making sure they have play time, giving them fresh water and food as well if needed.
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 have a flexible schedule and lots of time to take care of and spend time with your furry friends! I have experience pet sitting in clients' homes before. I am detail oriented and follow the directions left by clients well! I clean up after not only myself but also your furry friends and leave the home as I found it!
About: Many walks are in store if appropriate for your pup, as well as engaging play and relaxing belly rubs too! I have a 20 year history of caring for horses & dogs of my own; giving medications, grooming, exercising, & feeding. I provide my dog Ellie with chiropractic & stretching care after a running injury 3 years ago. You can be certain that contributing to the well-being of your furry companion is truly a passion of mine. I’m currently working part-time very close to my home, so I am available every morning, most days, & every evening for walks. Boarding at my home is available throughout the week & on the weekends. I have a big fenced in yard with plenty of room to play with my friendly doggo, Ellie. I am able to crate your pup if needed. My home provides lots of open space, a nice screened in Florida room, and multiple spots for sun-soaked naps! We are located within 15 minutes of SRQ Sarasota Bradenton airport. We are also a quick 5 minute car ride to GT Bray park, or Robinson preserve for adventuring at its finest!
About: Hello - my name is Clay. I am currently a doctorate student. I have taken care of dogs, all breeds and sizes, for well over a decade. I have taken care of sick babies who are on strict diets and medication and vitamin regimens. I also have experience administering fluids. I’d love to care for your babies next! (No cats) I have fairly open availability. I am currently only working on my doctorate degree. I am easily able to pause on those things and come take care of your baby, or do my schoolwork while house sitting. I only care for babies at the client’s house. I give lots of potty breaks and treats. If there is no yard or park, I enjoy taking long walks with your pup. No doubt they will be well cared for!
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have 3. I have experience with small and big dogs, ranging from a yorkie to a golden retriever. I have taken care of different family members’ dogs and love to play and snuggle with them! I work part time and my days vary so I will make my availability around my work hours. When I work, it is between 7-3:30 on the week days so I could stop in the morning before a shift and right after if it works for you. When I do not work, I have full availability and can coordinate with you how often I should see your pet! I’m very flexible with the wants of the client! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority! I make sure your pets are always supervised, kept in a safe and clean environment, and cared for according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I will gladly send pictures throughout the day if you want updates and see your pets!

“I'm so thankful for Sarah taking my 11 year old corgi (Phil) on daily walks. She has been a savior helping us 4 times a week for 5 months. She is dependable, professional, trustworthy, and she communicates any concerns. Finally Phil and I are getting a new home with a fenced yard... but I would call Sarah again if I needed help because she is fantastic.”
About: Hi! My name is Amanda! My family and I have been. On Rover for over 3 years now. We currently both work outside of the home full time, with flexible schedules. We have four kids (16,15,13,8) who love dogs and help us a ton! They are all receptive to dogs and know when to leave them be due to the dog being nervous or to cuddle them when they are comfortable. We have a large fenced in yard and have experience with giving medication as well. We look forward for the chance to care for your pets while you are gone! My job is flexible. I work close to home full time with frequent opportunities for breaks, so I am available during a wide variety of times needed. While boarding I have opportunity for a number of walks a day. I have a fenced in yard. If I care for multiple dogs, I introduce them slowly, and always feed separately, to avoid any issues. There is opportunity for blended play/snuggles as well as 1:1.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Cortez on Rover is $22.8 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 4,047 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cortez. 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 Cortez. 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 Cortez.

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 Cortez. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
