About: Hi! My name's Bridgette. I've been around dogs since I was born, small dogs, medium dogs, big dogs, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, old dogs and also puppies, and I've loved them all! Never met a dog I didn't fall in love with! I myself have two cats with my family. Our one cat is named Sharkie, and hes the biggest sweetheart. The other is Gnocchi, she's a sassy opinionated little girl, who is also a wobbly cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. I love going for walks and getting some fresh air, and it's always better with a furry friend to go with. Visiting your pets during the day and stopping in to care for them is amazing, the excitement they show (most of the time lol) when you show up is so heartwarming. I can't wait to meet your pets and give them all the love they deserve.

About: I have experience taking care of care of the smallest, and most ferocious chihuahuas to the largest of lovable breeds like the purebred German shepherd. I know they all have their own unique personalities and such and that’s why it’s important for me to let them warm up to me at their own pace. I have just started to look for more work as a “professional” pet sitter, along with house sitting. I am still in the process of expanding my little side business! Honestly I try to spend as much time with them as possible, or for cats let them come to me. For me it’s about being patient with their wants such as walking or play time, and always making sure they are healthy and well fed.

“Anna B. is the best! We are so fortunate to have found her through Rover. Anna took good care of our cat while we were gone for the week. She took care of his needs and constantly updated me with photos and messages. While taking care of him, my cat needed veterninary care. She did not hesitate to bring him for an exam. Anna is a kind and compassionate person who loves animals. You will not be disappointed if you choose her to take care of your pet. The next time we go out of town, we will definitely call upon her services. We couldn't ask for anyone better for the job. Thank you Anna for taking such good care of my fur baby.”

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 stick to a schedule all the time. I'm also always all over the areas from Venice to Riverview, I can always do drop by, a quick walk. 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! I work as a house cleaner and receptionist, I love staying active and just hanging out with animals. My desk job gives me 3-5 hours of an extended break Thu-Sunday. 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).

“Dee made going on vacation a little easier knowing my pups were well cared for. I have a motion web cam and reviewing the feed made me laugh. Dee spent time playing with each dog after they were fed. They seemed to have a good time. Hank seemed a little disappointed she didn't come by the first day we were back. Great sitter.”

“Jacqueline is absolutely amazing! I had her do drop-in visits for my pets while I was out of town for a weekend, and she did such a great job. She always sent me plenty of pictures during her visits, and I could tell from the photos that my pets were happy and comfortable with her. When I got home, everyone was happy and clearly well taken care of. It was really nice being able to enjoy my trip and know that my pets were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline, and she will for sure be my go-to sitter for future trips!”

I work part time so that means I am available during different parts of the day and night. I am willing to do over nights. When I am watching pets in different clients home, I will make sure nothing in the house is damaged. I will not touch anything I don't have to. I will walk or let out pets. I will feed and water them. I will also take care of any extra needs that the pets have.

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.

About: Hello! For most of my life I've grown up around pets. We always had dogs and cats, and while currently we have four cats I often house sit my mother's dog Honey. I have a passion for animals I hope to someday turn into a career. Just a side note while I am available weekends my time is limited to late mornings early afternoons due to transportation issues Currently I am unemployed and trying to get out of the food service industry. I have access to a vehicle if needed for house visits. I will happily take your furry friend on multiple walks, drop in to ensure everyone gets bathroom breaks, or even watch your cats if you're out of town. Typically for our four cats I take sole care of them. They are fed 1/4 cup dry food each 2 times a day and a can of wet food a day as well. Our cats are older so there's not much activity wise, however when Honey my mother's dog visits we usually do two walks a day. We also have a fenced in backyard for zoomies, full screened in lanai (with a pool which can be sectioned off) for post zoomies. When watching her overnight she gets herself a full bowl of dry food to graze on while receiving two portions of wet food throughout the day.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a kid, but dogs were always my forte. I’ve also been volunteering at my local SPCA shelter for added experience and love working with all the dogs. I also have experience working at a kennel and caring for the dogs. I am currently working overnight shifts so I will have ample time to spend time with your dogs during the day! I am available everyday and am very flexible and can accommodate most, if not all, requests:) I currently live in a complex that has plenty of outdoor space and fields for your dog to get an abundance of walks, playtime, and exercise

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Rotonda

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rotonda is $32 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,259 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rotonda. 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 Rotonda. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
