About: Growing up on 3 acres of land and having many animals as pets, I have always owned pets and have a passion for loving and caring for them. This is for ALL breeds and all sizes. Animals not only bring joy to our lives but count on us to give them the best life too! I am extremely reliable, very friendly and energetic so your pet will get lots of exercise and play time. I believe that a healthy pet is a happy pet. I have lots of excellent references too. I have 2 sweet Pit Bulls of my own and absolutely love this breed of dogs, despite there terrible reputation that we as people have given them. I am used to strong, determined dogs that love to chase anything with a tail!! I also love cats, little dogs and ones that just want some love and cuddles on the couch!! I recently staryed my own pet transportation company and am taking a break from being on the road for the last 6 months to be home for the holidays! Please consider me when you need loving care for your pets!! I will send you updates and lots of pictures to put your mind at ease while you are away! I have pretty flexible hours but usually available mornings, evenings and weekends and am able to accept last minute bookings to accommodate your specific needs I have a fenced in backyard and 2 dogs at home. One loves other dogs and the other will be crated when other dogs are around.

About: I have a special gift for earning the trust of shy, anxious, and hard-to-win-over cats—it's why many people call me a cat whisperer.. here's a little about me.... I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with four cats and have spent my entire life around animals. Many people call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats. I love helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable, and I've seen many reserved or unfriendly cats become affectionate and trusting with patience and understanding. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and love. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a caregiver for the elderly and take care of animals in my spare time. Most of the clients I work with have pets which I tend to as well. I am around animals pretty much around the clock and absolutely love it. ❤️ When I'm working with clients, I give as much attention to their pets as I do to them. I am a highly sought-after caregiver due to my attentiveness to their animals and the love and care I give them. I treat each and every one as if they were my own pet. I pay attention to their individual needs and wants.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve helped care for pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and love getting to know every pet’s personality. I’m currently working overnight so I’m usually free during the day, around noon would be perfect but I’m pretty flexible as far as letting your dog out or feeding your cat if needed! As a pet owner living in an apartment with my own dog, I understand how important it is for animals to get exercise, attention, and time outside instead of feeling cooped up indoors. I make it a priority to keep pets active, comfortable, and emotionally cared for through walks, playtime, and quality attention. I always want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in whatever environment they’re in

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. From Black labs to Pitbulls amd Boxers I love a silly dog! I will happily take care of any dog and give them all the love and attention they need! I'm pretty free every day so far so if you need a sitter or walker feel free to message me and I will do what I can to be over! I follow by whatever the owner tells me! I do tend to spoil animals with settings, cuddles, and plenty of playtime! I hope to learn each animal I meet and keep them happy while taking care of them!

About: I love animals as I have had about ten cats over the years and about four dogs. I have had pets since I was basically born. At one point I was looking into or was recommended by people to become a vet! I am at the moment typically free other than doing school work for college. I would be able to tend to animal needs pretty much anytime! I am often noted as attentive and disciplined, especially when it comes to others. For in home care I let pets do their thing (unless potting on things or breaking).

About: I have three dogs that are full of energy and have had multiple pets ever since I was a child! I dont have any children of my own and consider my pets as my children 😊 I understand the concern of wanting your pets to be watched by someone you can trust who will communicate with you effectively and care for them as if they are their own pet. I currently work full time as a pharmacy technician but I am available in the morning or after work for walks/ pet care. I also am normally off weekends and can work around schedules as needed. I am flexible to any needed care/ accommodations needed to take care of your pet and can also dispense medication to them if needed. I will make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.

“Lily went above and beyond for my 2 Poms. She communicated with me everyday with photos and videos which I loved. My girls looked so happy and relaxed with Lily and that comforting. She's a sweet, soft spoken person and I can tell she has a kind loving heart for animals and people. I will recommend Lily to my family and I will contact her again to dog sit for us. Thank you Lily!”

Holly was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and accommodating, especially since we reached out on short notice. Our cat had recently had surgery and needed some extra care and attention, and Holly took such great care of him. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him all the love and attention he needed. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. We would absolutely trust Holly with our pets again and highly recommend her to anyone!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Manasota

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Manasota is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 225 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Manasota. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manasota. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters 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 sitter.
