We also have a chihuahua mixed, shes our oldest. I keep our pets on a feeding schedule and in charge of food and keeping it stocked. I am very strick about their feeding schedule and food quality. Before I even became a cat parent I did extensive research just trying to find the best quality and affordable food, litter, toys. I've always wanted the best for them and treat them as an baby. Our cats also love the outdoors so I also walk them, harnessed or off but they well enough to stay close when we walk. I've also taught Liam a few tricks for treats (he'll do almost anything for treats).

About: I have 10 years of experience as a Vet Tech and am currently in Venice. Spending my early childhood years learning animal husbandry with my family’s many beloved rescued Rottweilers easily solidified my passion for exceptional pet care! As a trained veterinary technician, animals have always been part of my routine, between morning walks, feedings, medication schedules, or simply spending quality time. I find comfort and purpose in caring for animals, and I plan my days around their needs so they feel calm, loved, and secure. I respect each pet’s unique preferences and routine. I keep a calm, clean environment, offer consistent feeding, hydration, and medication when needed, and ensure they get plenty of affection and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep the pet’s world familiar and stress-free.
About: After years of caring for pets, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine and needs. I grew up in a household of cats and dogs. (Can’t forget about the fish too!)

I am available for dog-walks and drop-ins. I am flexible and reliable. I always like to make sure I familiarize myself with your dogs surroundings and his/her home. I make sure to carry basic milk bone treats with me, as this usually helps calm situations.

About: What sets me apart is the deep-rooted experience and love I have for animals. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, from walking neighborhood pups to helping with family pets. I’ve also fostered dogs, which taught me how to care for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs—from playful puppies to more reserved or nervous dogs. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or extra patience and comfort, I provide care that’s attentive, loving, and tailored to them. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way. I'm currently working a full time internship, 9-5 pm during the weekdays. I'm available after 5pm for evening care/walks, and have more availability on the weekends! In my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. I stick closely to their normal routines—mealtimes, walk schedules, playtime, and any special care instructions—so they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it's keeping things tidy, giving lots of affection, or making sure they get plenty of exercise, I’m all about giving personalized care that matches each pet’s needs. Communication is important to me too, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos!
About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.

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: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning and can help reinforce basic training, potty routines, and good manners. I’m also attentive to senior pets who may need extra care, slower walks, medication, or simply a little more patience and comfort. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. im currently a working part time mom who is pregnant with a 3 year old as well but my 3 yr old is in school so im available during the day after 1 and at night time i have a fenced yard! but with my 3 year old id prefer if i was able to have your babies in my home to make things easier

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 Manasota. 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Manasota after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.

- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
