About: I volunteered at the Humane Society and have experience caring for animals in my own home. I have also helped lost and stray animals by reuniting them with their owners or finding them loving new homes. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Its a blessing to have a soft heart for animals since a little girl My availability is very open & flexible as i am currently doing online school studying Int Arch with a passion to love and provide a safe space for all pets. I am part of the worship team therefore unavailable on, Sunday 9AM-3PM, Tuesday & Thursdays 7-11PM. I provide personalized care based on each pet's individual needs and routine. My priority is making sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I will keep your pet fed, provide fresh water, offer plenty of attention and playtime, and follow any special instructions you provide. I have two dogs with opposite personalities, so chances are your pup will find a friend they feel comfortable around! Introductions would always be done carefully to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe- i also have an extra room available if any pet needs their own quiet space or a slow introduction. My cats are independent and enjoy sunbathing outside. Throughout the day, they come inside to eat, sleep, and play. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, your pet's comfort and safety will always come first.
“Gabriella was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Thor! She was friendly, professional, and took great care of him during his walk. It gave me peace of mind knowing Thor was in such good hands, and he came back happy and well-exercised. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and Gabriella was reliable and punctual. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pets. I’ll definitely be booking Gabriella again for future walks. Thank you!”
“Bethany is great! Reliable. Friendly. And when we met her she knew exactly who needed to like her most and snuggled right up to our dog! Who did love her ❤️🐶🐾 Would recommend 100%. And we will use Bethany again without hesitation!”
About: Working Wonders K9 officially began in 2024 but its roots run deep into the heart and the history of Kenna the owner. Throughout her childhood, she trained her pet dogs in obedience and could often be found learning agility and tricks with them side-by-side! As an adult, this passion lead her to train her rescue dog, Luna, as a service dog after developing an autonomic nervous system dysfunction that took away her safety and freedom. Under the guidance of a service dog trainer, she began learning the basics of training a working dog and found a calling. After apprenticing with a training company and spending much of her free time researching dog body language, training methods and training techniques, she opened Working Wonders K9 with the goal of making service dogs accessible to disabled individuals and helping pet parents train and build a strong relationship with their dogs. She offers knowledgeable pet care as well as training and support in obedience and behavior modification. I currently am attending school full time and have my own dog training business where I help clients train their pets in obedience and provide solutions to problem behaviors. During the day I have plenty of time to devote to pet care and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve! I offer knowledgeable and experienced pet care in the clients home. I have a background in veterinary care and dog training and have devoted many hours to understanding dog’s body language in order to care for them better. I provide on leash walking and oversight in homes and backyards to make sure each pet is taken care of and gets the love and attention they need!
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: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs. I started showing animals at my county fair when I was 9 years old. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life until I moved to Florida this year to live with and help take care of my grandpa. It would be a blessing to find some new animal friends to love on! I am currently working full time the at a Beach Resort as the Front Office Supervisor. My schedule is 3 PM to 11 PM so my mornings are free. If needed, I am also more than happy to swing by after my shift to walk/check on pets. I am unable to board pets at my house at this time, but I do not take going into other homes lightly. It is an honor that I treat with the utmost respect.
“Seth was an amazing caregiver for my dog. He walked my terrier mix Gracie several days in a row while I was out for the day with visitors. His service went beyond my expectations. From coaxing Gracie out from under the bed on the first day to getting her to walk over 2 miles by the end of the week. He would also spend time after each walk to bond with her. His love of animals really shows in the care he provided my dog. Seth also makes full use of the Rover app to communicate start and stop times and the route they took. He would enter a progress report and sent several pictures after each walk. I really felt at ease with Seth in my home and will use him when I need a sitter. He’s very conscientious about his job. I highly recommend Seth for all your pet care needs.”
“Jessica, is very professional in her work, she was worried that my dog would not want to go out, due to the rain, but she used her skills and made my dog go out and be very happy. Thank you Jessica, you are the best”

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 Ellenton. 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 Ellenton.

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 Ellenton. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
