About: I have a long history of pet care, and have extensive experience with the Shar Pei breed. I have owned Shar Pei's for over 25yrs and have done some rescue work with them as well. I have owned cats and dogs my entire life. I have experience with dogs that may need extra care such as meds or extra attention. Can't imagine life without them they just bring such a joy into our lives. You can have confidence in knowing while I'm taking care of your pet I will treat, and love them as my own. I know how hard it is to find the right person to take care of your pets, and will take the best of care of your 🐾🐾babies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I intentionally structure my schedule to ensure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets are never left unattended for long periods. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I maintain a reliable and flexible schedule to meet each pet’s needs. My goal is to provide dependable, routine-based care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident knowing their pets are a priority. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I prioritize building trust by following the pet’s normal routine, maintaining a clean and secure space, and ensuring constant supervision and care. I’m mindful of each pet’s temperament, dietary needs, and any special instructions, and I take precautions such as secure doors, leash use, and hazard-free surroundings to keep them safe at all times. My goal is to create a comfortable, low-stress environment where pets feel cared for, protected, and at ease while their owners are away.
About: Animals aren’t just pets to me. They are individuals with emotions, personalities, and needs that deserve to be understood and respected. You can feel completely at ease knowing their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. As an animal rights advocate, I approach every animal with genuine compassion and awareness, tailoring my care to who they are, not just what they need on paper. Whether they are energetic, shy, playful, or sensitive, I meet them where they are and give them the attention and love that helps them feel truly safe and seen. You can trust that I will show up consistently, follow routines closely, and create a calm, caring environment while you are away. I do not just watch animals. I connect with them, care for them, and treat them like they matter, because they do. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I structure my schedule to allow consistent time for walks, feeding, check-ins, and companionship. I generally maintain a flexible routine, which allows me to adjust based on each pet’s needs and the specific care plan we agree on. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can stay attentive and responsive while pets are in my care. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I prioritize clear communication and planning in advance to ensure expectations are aligned and your pet’s routine is supported as closely as possible. I aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment based on each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely while staying attentive to how your pet is feeling. In your home, I keep things consistent with their normal schedule so they feel secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, low-stress space with close supervision and attention to safety and care. I stay mindful during walks and interactions and avoid anything that could feel overwhelming or risky. I also provide regular updates with photos and check in if anything seems off so we can decide what’s best together. I do not have pets of my own, but there are pets in the home belonging to my roommates. They are well-managed, and I take care to ensure safe, controlled interactions. I can also keep pets fully separated at all times if preferred

About: I love pet sitting. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10 and have owned family pets my entire life. I walk a lot so will take your dog on many walks through the day. I have a yoga business and teach a few sunrise and sunset classes during the week that are an hour each. So with traffic I can be gone about 3 hours some days. I also have drop in-s for other pets which last about an hour. Please make it clear how long your animal is able to be alone when booking so there’s no confusion. I love pets more than people! I give them all my praise but I’m also strict and don’t let them indulge in human food. Hope we can work together 🫶🏼 I have my own business and am never gone for more than a few hours at a time. I teach hour long yoga classes so gone about 2 and a half hours with commute and set up time! I always do a meet and greet so I know where I’m staying, where the dog food is and how everything works, like when trash day is etc.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manasota Key
We had a wonderful experience meeting Dawn. She was warm, professional, and very thoughtful in how she approached getting to know our dog, Mr. Thor. She took the time to assess whether it would be the right fit and was honest and communicative throughout the process, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear that she cares deeply about making sure each dog and family is matched appropriately. That level of integrity and professionalism says a lot. We’re grateful for her time and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.

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.
