About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life, I currently have two dogs and have volunteered in shelters! I also have been in the grooming career and I couldn’t imagine my life without animals i have two dogs who are completely different so every walk is completely different to them, ive always enjoyed spending time with my animals and think the best moments are with our furry friends i myself have a reactive and hyper dog, i can care for dogs that might need a little more tlc or extra patience and would love to spend time with all kinds of personalities within your pets.
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life- it’s a true passion that shapes who I am. From growing up with my own dog and regularly helping neighbors with walks, feeding, and playtime, to currently sharing my home with my energetic Aussiedoodle, Bodhie, I’ve built hands-on experience that lets me adapt quickly to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m equally comfortable with cats, having lived with them for years and handled everything from daily feeding and interactive play to litter box care and administering medication when needed. For small animals, I grew up with hamsters and have been a dedicated guinea pig mom to three wonderful piggies in my adult life, so I know exactly how to provide the specialized care, fresh veggies, and gentle handling these little ones thrive on. I’m actively working with my own high-energy young dog on leash skills and calm behavior around distractions, so I’m comfortable supporting your pet’s training routines too. What truly sets me apart is my deep respect and individualized attention for every animal I care for- I treat them as if they were my own. Whether it’s tailoring the perfect walk for your dog, giving your cat those essential snuggles, maintaining a consistent routine for your senior pet, or ensuring your small animal gets enrichment and the right diet, I’m committed to keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on a leave of absence from my job, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I will be able to give your fur babies the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Your pet won’t just get the basics- they’ll get quality time, belly rubs, and lots of love! I make it a priority to maintain a safe, familiar, and stress-free environment. I know how important routines are, so I closely follow your instructions- from feeding and medication to walk schedules and favorite toys or games. I take time to build trust with your pet, always moving at their pace and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also respect your home just as much as I respect your pets- keeping things tidy, secure, and treating your space with care. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands and receiving plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re gone.
About: Hello, My name is Danielle. I currently have 4 cats that I adopted from Cat town in Bradenton. I've had dogs, cats, ferrets and other exotics throughout my life. Recently, I decided to specialize in cat care since I feel there is a deeper connection and understand with cats. If you have any questions, please contact me and I will respond as soon as possible. I work full time remotely from home. Therefore, I have a flexible schedule to take care of your cats while you are away. Typically I would come to your home in the morning or evening or both, if needed. I will come to your home for cat care. I offer services within a 30 minute drive from my home, located in Bradenton.

About: I love dogs! I have had dogs my whole life & have cared for so many over the years. We currently have a 9 year old corgi/lab and a 4 year old Aussie doodle at home.

“I could not be happier with Michael's care!!!! Responsible, kind, caring! I love getting photo updates from my pup's walks. Thank you so much, I am so happy to know my sweet Flo is taken care of while I'm at work”

About: I’ve never known life without dogs! I grew up with 3–4 at a time, adopted my first dog at 15, and now have three of my own. I also foster and have experience with everything from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls, German Shepherds and Bullmastiffs. I especially love working with deaf dogs and have experience teaching sign-language commands, basic obedience and leash skills. Friends and family have trusted me for years with their dogs and often come to me for help with behavioral concerns and care questions. I know how hard it is to leave your dogs behind. I’ve never boarded my own because I want them comfortable and loved while I’m away. I even brought all three to my wedding! Whether your pup is 10 pounds or 100, shy or full of zoomies, I’d love to keep them happy, loved, and help them “get their squiggles out” while you’re away. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend care, including daytime visits and walks. I’m happy to work around your pup’s normal routine and keep their schedule as consistent as possible while you’re away! 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort come first! I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine and individual needs. I’ll follow your feeding, walking, medication and house rules closely and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, playtime and affection. I’m also experienced with crates, senior dogs, anxious pups, special needs and dogs who need a little extra patience. 🐾
About: Every pet that walks through our doors is loved exactly like if they’re our own. As a child I grew up with animals and my parents would never stop buying or adopting new ones. At most we had 5 in the house at once. But through the years we have had many more then that. I don’t no if this is what causes my love for pets but it just feels like second nature when a dog walks through the door to care for them exactly like they were mine. Our home has Vinyl floors to make clean ups easier and was just built in 2020. We have a completely fenced in yard and plenty of toys, treats and things for them to do. I pride myself on my availability and flexibility. Dropping your pet off at my house is absolutely nothing like dropping your dog off at a Franchised pet sitting place. Your Pet does not ever have to go in a cage unless you want them or that is where they feel more comfortable. I work from home full time so play time in the backyard happens naturally when the pet wants to go outside. Not on a strict forced schedule. This allows the pups to feel more comfortable while you are taking care of whatever it is you have to do. I am happy to send pictures & video throughout your animals stay so you can see what they are up to. I am home full time to make sure your pets are loved and well cared for. Your pups are my priority and my schedule works really well with this as I just work on the computer during the day and can take breaks whenever I want or as needed. Safety is my utmost priority and every single procedure I put in place inside my home is to make sure your pet has a great stay.
About: I've house sat and took care of a puppy Dachshund for about a month, as well as day visiting with friends dogs to give them play time and food! I love walking and playing with dogs, it's a great way to spend time outside while learning their fun little personalities! I won't be able to care for your fur babys in my home but I will gladly come stay at yours or drop in when needed whenever I can. I love to play or chill, whatever is needed from me! I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets in their own home. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and crate time if needed. I will always treat your home and pet with care and respect.

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenton
Patricia walks our dog Delta three days a week while I'm at work, and she's been excellent. She's on time, easy to work with, and asks questions instead of assuming. She even offered to stay a while longer and keep the pets company while we were out, which we hadn't thought to ask for. Delta is well taken care of. Highly recommend her.

Azharia has been walking my dog for the past few weeks and it is going exceptionally well. She is is a very caring animal lover with a great understanding of how to work with shy dogs. She is always punctual and communicates throughout each walk. Also she is very responsive and respectful of any special requests or instructions I may have. I will continue to work with her for sure. Highly recommend.

It was my 1st time using Rover so I didn't really know what I was doing. Jonah was kinda enough to help me and flex with all my time changes. I was looking for someone to help do the longer walk for my Bear since Im getting out of a walking boot. When Bear came back from his walk he was tuckered out which was what I was looking for!! I would absolutely recommend Jonah!!

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 Ellenton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
