“Exceptional care given to my cats & exceptional communication during each visit. Dana always provides a written summary of each visit with photos. We were in contact every day I was away from home. I am very impressed with Dana & Rover. I will be recommending Rover to my friends!”
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’ve been a pet owner and pet sitter for about 20 years, and taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life. My family and friends have always called me for their pet-sitting needs and questions, so I’ve pretty much been the go-to pet person forever! 😂🐶 I absolutely love animals, and animals seem to love me right back! 🥰 I have a dog of my own, and I’m currently home most of the time since I’m not working right now. I already help take care of a couple of pets here in our community, and I’d love to help more of my neighbors! I can come to your home to walk your dog, let them out, feed them, give them attention, or take care/stay with them while you’re working, traveling, or just away for the day. If you need someone you can trust to love on your pets while you’re away, I’m your girl🤗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I have a dog of my own and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I currently have an open/flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs throughout the day. My availability allows me to be dependable and attentive, while providing pets with the consistent care, companionship, and attention they need. If your pets are staying with me, they’ll have access to the dog park located right outside my apartment, where we can get plenty of exercise and playtime! I also have lots of dog-friendly toys and treats to keep them happy and entertained. 🐾 My dog, Honey, is very active and loving while also being calm and laid-back. She gets along wonderfully with other animals, so your pets will have a friendly companion during their stay. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. I’ll follow their normal routines as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and love while you’re away.
“Couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I got daily picture updates and great communication the whole time from Angelina, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pet was happy, safe, and well cared for. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!””

I love dogs and am happy to help in any way I can 😊 I work during the week until 5pm but am free most weekends, I am pretty flexible with my schedule.

About: I have a cat Liam who I care for and I help my family care for their cats and dogs as well. I have pet sit/house sit for 3 years now. I'm consistent with my check ups and walkings/feedings.

I'm flexible with my schedule to fit your pets needs, and any last minute bookings! I'm currently working at 2 jobs and still have free time for your pets!

Outside of that I am I clean homes and offices around the Venice, Sarasota, and Bradenton Area. My family and I have 3 cats, Liam, Munchkin, and Sunni. 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’ve always had a love for animals and have actually pet sat for a few of my friends before whether it’s a bunny, dog or cat I can handle it! Most of my weekly routine consists of working part-time at a movie theater, going to the gym, and attending church and adult youth group. Outside of that, I have plenty of flexibility, so pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and I’ll always make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I promise to take them on walks and provide everything your pet needs no matter what it may be.
“Lisa is such a sweetheart & did such a wonderful job with Blue! Blue had a great time with her & she clearly cares about animals. She was so kind & would always send photos or videos of our Blue, it was so reassuring to see how happy she was & in good hands while we were away. We would higher her again in a heartbeat & highly recommend such an awesome woman! Oh, she also gives massages which were super awesome!”

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: hey! 🐾 My name is Hannah and I’m 26 years old. I am an animal lover with a background in psychology and animal behavior. I currently work as a Registered Behavioral Technician for kiddos with behavioral needs in Sarasota County Schools and often volunteer as a dog walker at Suncoast Humane Society! I love getting to know every dog’s unique personality, whether they’re playful puppies, energetic adults, shy pups who need a little extra patience, or sweet seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and enjoy providing walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and companionship. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart thanks to my soul dog, Sparkie, who passed away in 2024 at 16 years old. ❤️ Caring for him through his senior years gave me personal experience supporting dogs with arthritis, chronic pain, and mobility limitations. I’m happy to provide that same patience and thoughtful care to any dog who needs a little extra attention! I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet with love, respect their routine, follow your instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pup is in caring, attentive hands! **Availability 🗓️** I’m fully available on weekends and available for weekday walks Monday–Friday after 4 PM. Have a special request or need a different time? Feel free to message me! I’m happy to discuss exceptions and find a time that works for you and your pup. 🐶❤️ I am entirely free on Saturday and Sunday. M-F I am available after 4 pm. This is subject to change, please message with requests. From personal experience, I can empathize that leaving our furry friends can be an intimidating experience. However, I will do everything in my power to give your pet the same love, attention, and care that you would. I will actively communicate with you and ensure that my quality of care is nothing short of exceptional.

Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my priority! I care for my pets by doing obvious things such as feeding them, watering, cleaning liter boxes/taking them outside to go potty and of course! Giving them lots of loves ❤️
“Thank you Tara. Our 2 dogs were well taken care of. I appreciate booking her last minute. We usually can have family watch our pups, but we will definitely call Tara again if we need a sitter.”
About: I’ve helped with taking care of animals ever since i was little.

It is very therapeutic & fun for me to help take care of such sweet fur babies ! (Disclaimer : I charge cheaper rates if not paid through app!) I have a very flexible schedule due to taking an online course for the time being . My current availability is generally Mondays-Fri for anytime. Possibly Weekends depending on location.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,222 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Placida. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Placida. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
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.
