Kelly is very kind and professional and did a great job with Oakley! I can tell he had a great time while I was gone and was taken care of well. I also appreciate her able to take care of my cat on short notice. Highly recommend Kelly for your pet sitting needs.

About: I have been taking care of animals as long as I can remember - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, geckos, you name it! When it comes to dogs, I am comfortable with all the different genres from big to small, puppy to elder. As a cat owner myself, I love going the extra mile to make sure cat is comfortable and happy.

I am super flexible and open to last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your dog for walks or visit a dog park! If I am visiting a cat, I’m happy to scoop litter and give pets. I have experience in delivering oral medication if your pet needs it.

About: As a pet parent to two dogs and a kitten, I’m well-versed in managing different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I provide reliable, attentive care—whether that means active neighborhood walks or quiet drop-ins with plenty of play and affection. I’ll treat your pets with the same level of care and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily accommodate drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine alongside caring for my own animals. Safety is my top priority. I always verify doors and gates are secure, follow detailed care instructions closely, and keep pets properly leashed or supervised during all visits and outdoor time.

About: With over 9 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds—from Shih Tzus to Pit Bulls—and I’ve been a dedicated animal lover my entire life. I’m passionate about making sure pets feel loved and safe, and I pride myself on being dependable, even on short notice. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, or administering medications, I’ve got the skills and commitment to keep your pets happy and healthy. My goal is for you to have peace of mind that your pets will be well taken care of no matter where you are. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine since I’m currently in school for medical billing, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can easily balance my studies with part-time pet sitting, making sure I have time to give each pet the attention and care they need. It also helps me stay active and provides a great break from my coursework! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their routines as closely as possible to keep the pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like administering medications or adhering to specific care preferences. I’m very respectful of the home, and I always ensure everything is clean and secure before I leave. For pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment, offering plenty of space for relaxation, play, and comfort. I ensure they have access to all their essentials and, most importantly, lots of love and attention!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have been caring for them since I was a kid. I’ve lived with and worked with all kinds of breeds, from German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to Toy Poodles and Chihuahuas. I’ve also worked with dogs that were fearful or difficult to manage and, with patience, consistency, and training, helped them become more comfortable and confident. I have plenty of experience with puppies, including helping with potty training, and I’m comfortable with cats as well. I’m used to handling everyday grooming and basic care and know when something is best left to the vet. I’m pretty calm in stressful situations and don’t get easily overwhelmed. Most importantly, I believe animals respond best to patience, consistency, love, and respect. I’m comfortable setting boundaries and maintaining house rules, but I don’t believe in harsh physical correction. My goal is always to build trust and create a good relationship with every animal in my care. To me, there’s no such thing as a bad dog just an animal that may need more patience, understanding, and the right guidance. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding as my schedule is flexible and rotating. I’m available Mon-Sunday 6am-2pm and select evenings. Feel free to reach out about evening care my availability changes week to week. I currently live in an apartment located close to downtown. Even though I lack large space and a fenced in yard I am a stones throw away from a large park and put it to good use. I have one very friendly dog who is full of love and a very curious cat. I am able to crate your animal if the need arises. With my dog we are very active and go on 3-5 walks a day. She loves adventures and car rides so we go out and about a lot! I have reliable transportation and don’t mind driving to fit your needs. Currently I have so many dog / cat toys we could fund a small shelter. We have plenty of supplies to keep your fur babies happy and entertained. I have done work in many industries which required me to be adept at problem solving, reliable and trustworthy. High stress environments don’t bother me. We love the little ones and have fostered in the past, we just hate having to give them back!

Even with a power outage and a severe storm, she ensured she arrived as scheduled. Her dedication and commitment to our pets' well-being were truly impressive and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring sitter.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Molly! More than a year after she first took care of our two cats Alvin and Lucy, they immediately recognized her when she stopped by to to pick up her key and ran to her for rubs and sweet words. Lucy literally reached up and gave her a hug! After that visit, we felt comfortable that Molly would follow our cats’ daily schedule and offer them loving care and ample play opportunities. During her visits, she kept their litter area pristine, and meticulously followed their feeding schedule which included administering a daily antihistamine to Lucy. At one point, she alerted us that Alvin was experiencing a sneezing episode and we approved her giving him the antihistamine, as well. The daily pictures she sent captured the essence of our little buddies, and showed how much she loved being and playing with them and they with her. We ALWAYS will choose Molly to take care of Alvin and Lucy when we travel.

About: Hi! I'm Morgan! I’m an Education Specialist at Mote Marine Laboratory with a lifelong passion for educating others on the importance of and personally caring for all animals in our environment. My career includes experience in AZA-accredited animal care, where I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, husbandry, enrichment, safety, and individualized care for all kinds of critters. I also grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds—from dogs and cats to all others—so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide care that keeps them comfortable, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some playtime and enrichment, a relaxing visit, or dependable overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My professional animal-care background also means I’m comfortable paying close attention to changes in behavior, following detailed care instructions, and prioritizing your pet’s safety and well-being. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! 🐾 I am currently working full-time at Mote Marine Laboratory as an Education Specialist, where I teach all ages on all things science and marine conservation. My hours in the office are flexible in the afternoons around scheduled programming, so if your pet needs earlier attention than 5pm, then I am able to be around! My weekly schedule is currently Sunday-Thursday, so if you need a sitter for a (long) weekend-getaway, my schedule is the perfect fit to keep your furry friend company! During the week, I am available mornings and evenings for any care that your pet may need: early morning/evening walks, help with feeding, or any other adventures/day-to-day care! I am available for pet-care needs during the weekend, as well: all day/night Friday and Saturday with availability into Sunday morning. I am able to keep your furry-friend company, in whatever way they may need, in the comfort of your (their) own home! I am able to travel to your location to provide pet-care, as well as take your pet on an adventure (walk, swim, etc.) through my own transportation, if you want! I am open and able to fit my care tasks/style into whatever needs you and your pet may have.

About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - North Sarasota

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in North Sarasota on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,702 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across North Sarasota. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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.
