About: I’ve had several years of personal and professional animal care experience as a kennel technician, dog daycare host and vet technician assistant in the animal hospital atmosphere. My schedule fluctuates but I’m always off work from Saturday-Monday. I work 10 shifts during the week and my travel commute is about 1 1/2 hour per day for work. Pets will always be walked on a leash with constant supervision. Can offer long dog walks, play time at the local dog park, and spa days.
About: I have been working with pets since 2023! I have done everything from walking dogs at the Humane Society to pet sitting to working at my current job which is a Pet boarding facility! I love animals and am so excited to get to know your pets! I work part time at a dog boarding facility so I’m available most weekends and most weekdays to walk dogs and do drop ins! I have experience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I love all breeds as well as all cats! Pets are my passion and I’d love to meet your pets!
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life. I love all animals but dogs are my passion. I am a professional dog groomer and I have trained many dogs. Im currently working part time so I have plenty of free time throughout the day and night to spend with your pups!! Im also free the entire weekend! I have a fenced in yard and a 1 year old doodle myself that loves to play. I let the dogs free roam throughout the house.
About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs my whole life. I’m the first person my friends and family go to when they need dog care. I’ve been a sitter for many people for many years. Animals have been my passion for many years. I work in the evenings so I have the free time to look after your precious pups. I am willing to travel as far as you need to make sure you have no worries while you’re gone. I live on 5 acres of fenced in yard to have plenty of space for your fur babies. I also have two sweet pups if your puppy wants friends. I have the ability to crate your babies if you prefer that aswell.
“Jill was absolutely amazing!! We booked her to watch our pups during our wedding weekend and it was one thing we didn’t have to worry about the entire time. Jill provided updates and the best photos! She also took our energetic lab on walks no problem.”
“Victoria was an awesome pet sitter for our animals while we were on vacation! She was very attentive, and she took great care of our dog and cat! Glad we found her and will definitely be asking her for help again in the future!”
About: I was active in 4h and FFA, have taken care of many animals from small to large. I have 4 dogs. Love them so much❤️ I am a college student, but I do online, so during the weeks days, and some weekends works for me. I am usually free later in the day. However if you need all day I can also do that too. I can’t bring pets to my house due to all of the animals we have, however I can watch them at your own home , I can come over as many times as needed
About: I have experience caring for puppies, sick/elderly dogs, and everything in between! My passion and love for dogs is undeniable and never wavers. Dogs have always been my life and I recently lost my dog, so I’m looking to love on other people’s fur babies for the time being. I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday, but my weekends are completely free. I am available all weekend long, week nights and very early mornings on week days. I am somewhat flexible and will try my best to work with your schedule. I provide only the best and most loving care for your animals. I can crate animals, help train, take pets for long (or short) walks to keep them active, and adapt to any routine you may have!
About: I’ve taken care of multiple different pets for family, friends, neighbors and would love to help with yours too! I have been pet sitting since I was 14 and will treat your fur baby with all the love possible. I have 2 dogs of my own, a 3 year old Australian Sheppard and a 7 month old mini Aussie who are constantly craving more activities. They get daily walks with park trips, car drives, and lots of time to play in the yard with all their toys. I take pets on multiple walks, park visits, and give lots of loving. I am very flexible and work around the dogs/owners needs and wants!
“Channing took amazing care of my fur baby! This was my first time leaving her with someone other than friends, so I was a little nervous at first, but as soon as I met Channing, I could tell she truly loves animals. Octavia adored her. Highly recommend!”
About: I was raised in a home where my mom started her pet grooming and boarding business, until it expanded to a separate building. So pets were just part of our family and daily routine! Pets bring me so much joy and love, I would love to share that with yours! I work from home, on my own time, and this is also my first year homeschooling my 2 girls! So I am very flexible and can accommodate to what ever schedule needed! I am open to what is needed! An afternoon stroll, afternoon play time, play dates, overnights, or just snuggles! Any animal time will fill my heart! My rescue cat is truly a blessing and is the kindest, most fun boy. He loves to play with balls & stuffed animals, but also loves to snuggle. I do have a screened in front porch that allows playtime in the fresh air with keeping him safe, so he loves that too (he is missing a back paw so we limit free range time outdoors to his benefit). He is part of the family and is treated like one of us!
About: I have had a total of four dogs my whole life, including two labs, a German Shepherd, and currently, a Belgian Malinois. I also have past work with dogs of all sizes at a dog bakery and grooming facility, and I am very comfortable around all kinds of dogs. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time for drop in visits. My availability does vary by week depending on my work schedule but I am typically available no less than four days a week. I have plenty of experience with both big and small dogs, so whether it is going into your house to feed them, taking them outside, or playing with them, I am very comfortable.
“We can leave our cat Charlie knowing he will receive great care from Alana. She is responsible, always shows up on time and stays and plays with Charlie. She administers medication and is responsive to my concerns. We couldn’t get back due to the hurricane, no worries, Alana just extended her time caring for Charlie . Charlie is a shy cat and is reticent of people outside our family. Alana has built up trust and can easily pet and play with Charlie. A five star rating doesn’t cover her passion or dedication!”
About: Ive been assisting in taking care of pets since I can remember. My family never went without having furry companions in the house but ive been helping care for them since i was six. Id help my parents bath, walk, and play with the dogs as well as it was my chore to clean up all the dog droppings in the backyard. I've also had to help in giving heartworm, flea, and tick medicine as well as any other specific meds when theyd get an infection or get sick. The best part of having dogs was that I always had a friend. Someone who loved me unconditionally, watched over me, and always showered me in slobbery tennis balls and wet kisses. I currently work full time and my hours are typically the same. I am normally away from home from 7am to 5pm but typically have Fridays and Saturdays and am available in the evenings. I have a larged fenced in back yard and I live near the water so we'll have awesome walks. I also live very close to multiple dog parks. I live with my daughter and husband and we are all dog lovers. My daughter will want to shower your furry friend with kisses and hugs and acceptable treats all the time and my husband has always had dogs his whole life just as myself. We currently dont have any pets right now.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from playful puppies to calm seniors. Over the years, I’ve watched many dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, and they always know they can count on me. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every pup feels loved, safe, and happy while their owner is away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I treat every dog like my own. 🐾 I’m a full-time hairdresser, but my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work around it to fit your pet’s needs! I often have mornings available and weekends! If you reach out with your dates or times, I’ll do my best to make it work. I always make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, walks, and care during our time together! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first with me. I take the time to get to know each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and cared for. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and medications to walk routes and playtime rules. You can always count on regular updates and photos while you’re away, so you know your pup is happy and safe. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they’re in a calm, loving environment at all times. 🐶💛
“Christine was awesome! She always came around the same time, which and important because our cats liked their daily treat at a certain time, did all the things we asked of her and spent time with our cats. We are so appreciative of her visits and felt confident with her caring for our cats. Will definitely utilize her service again in the future!”

That includes some grass and some shell. I am a street away from the celery fields.` I am open to having animals in my house and traveling to others if needed.
About: Your dog will be given lots of attention and love. I treat all dogs as a part of the family, like "furry children." I find that dogs tend to feel most comfortable in their home environment with a caring human to keep them company. Feed, water, walk, exercise time, play time, medication as needed, and companionship time are included. Feel free to contact me to discuss you and your furry friend's needs while you're gone. I've had dogs of my own my whole life, and I love them just like family. My experience administering medication Yes, very comfortable.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,112 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Myakka City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Myakka City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
