“My puppy, Miss Daisy, met Jennifer today. She has separation anxiety and is only 10 months old. I had no worries leaving my home and found her in great spirits upon my return. She paid extra attention to her with a couple of walks and lots of cuddling, too. Thanks, Jennifer, you will hear from me soon!”
“Dylan did an excellent job taking care of my three kitties. He arrived each day as scheduled to feed them and clean out the litter box. He sent me pictures daily along with a nice update. I definitely recommend Dylan!”
About: Since I was born there has always been at least 1 dog in my home. From senior dogs to puppies. Energetic dogs to couch potatoes. I’ve had them all! I am comfortable with and capable of taking care of dogs at all times of life! I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of lots of furry friends! My schedule is open all day every day! I can let the dog(s) out in the yard if you have one as well as walk them. My eyes would be on them at all times and play time is promised!
About: Creating a home away from home for your pet, and a peace of mind for you! *I am in the middle of a move, Day Care will be available UNTIL Oct. 1st* I’m a full time stay at home mom of 4. I am home 95% of the time. I offer full time attention, love, and cuddles! Will always make sure to give space when I can tell your pup needs it! I have a fenced in back yard. No owned dogs in my home. My kids love to take dogs on walks with me! My house will come with a full day of play! Due to safety, I will only take one dog at a time, with the exception of multiples from same household.
“Awesome cat sitter! Indika was great; she came to our home consistently and sent great pictures. I could tell my cats were in great hands. Will book again when we leave town. Our cats really liked her! Thank you!”
“Nevaeh was fantastic! She arrived right on time and went above and beyond during her visit. She took Mia out to the backyard for a potty break, brought her back in, spent time playing with her, and even checked in on our cats—despite only being scheduled to let the dog out. We’re very happy with the care she provided and will absolutely be using her services again in the near future. Highly recommended!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From iguanas and hamsters to cats and dogs, I’ve cared for just about every kind of furry, scaled, and whiskered companion along the way 🐾 I’ve especially spent most of my life caring for dogs, so understanding their personalities, routines, and needs comes naturally to me. I currently have a 14 year old dog who is truly my pride and joy, and caring for her has only deepened my love and patience for animals. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, affection, and care I give my own. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll be genuinely loved 🤍 I work full time (9-5) but in the evenings and Weekends I am free(: so any needs you may have please don’t hesitate to reach out. 😌 Well I’m sure since I can’t provide my own home, that you the owner will let me know any safety hazards or things I would need to know before anything
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I am the proud owner to two beautiful dogs whom I love very dearly. I’m ready to help make your life easier! I am a stay at home mom currently and I am able to have a clear schedule and help out most of the time. Just given some notice and I can get it done :) I have two very sweet dogs, one who is older but gentle and one who is young and lively. Both dogs are sweet and inviting. Animals in my home are allowed on furniture and I take them out for walks frequently

I have already booked her next visit. Kaci is the best!!!”

She is reliable, punctual, communicative, and always provides great updates and photos that give me peace of mind while I’m away.

About: I’m a hockey player at day and a pet lover 21/7. I am a very disciplined worker person who is a meticulous planner. I love pets and I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is treated like a princess/ king. I am available during week days anytime after 3 some days earlier depending on my schedule. Open only some weekends. I am available for boarding but very rarely. I have trained my dog to be able to walk off leash during walks and will always make sure their little paws are clean by the end. Your pet will always have fun with me.
“Jessica is amazing with my super hyper GSD and loves on my Pom! Always comes through on last minute requests making adjustments to her schedule to care for my fur kids!”
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.

Marie has been amazing with Max and Tucker! We’re already on booking #3, and I feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. She’s incredibly responsive, even when I’ve reached out with a last minute request, and always sends updates and photos so I know my boys are happy and well taken care of. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust with them. Highly recommend Marie! 🐾❤️
Frequent flier here! Morgan is so sweet and easy to communicate with, I always feel comfortable leaving my old girl Lucy with her. As Lucy gets older and more difficult to manage, Morgan continues to be patient with her and give her the love she needs while I'm away. I would recommend her to anyone with pet sitting needs in a heartbeat!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ellenton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 Ellenton 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 .

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 Ellenton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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 sitter.
