About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets of all ages, personalities, and activity levels. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra exercise and training reinforcement, an anxious pet who needs patience and reassurance, or a senior companion who requires special care, medication reminders, and a slower pace. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, administering basic medications, maintaining exercise routines, and providing plenty of affection and attention. Reliability, communication, and safety are my top priorities. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so pet parents can have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment while ensuring their routines stay as consistent as possible. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate, creating a positive experience for both pets and their families.

“Best walker/ sitter ever ! On time,was very caring with Shaggy. Shaggy seemed so happy with Anna so when needed Anna will be our first request. Thank yoi Anna for helping us.”
“We can’t say enough about Emily! She’s just simply amazing. Our baby, Penny, adores her and Penny definitely gets a lot of attention and affection when Emily visits. We highly recommend Emily!”

“Sherry was amazing, very responsive, and responsibly priced. Not only did she provide photos and updates on my dog, she also notified me when she was in transit to my home to walk my dog. She even went the extra mile to ensure my dog was actually eating food by handfeeding my fur baby. I will be booking her for future pet needs. Thanks Sherry....YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!”

About: I grew up with dogs (German Shepard (Mix), Beagle, Golden Retriever, Min Pin, Havanese) since I was born and raised 3 of my own. I LOVE all animals as well as my family. If we board your dog(s) or we have them for day care, they need to be hypoallergenic. If I go to your house to walk or play with dogs/cats, they do not have to be hopoallergenic. Both my husband and daughter are allergic to ALL Cats and some Dogs. I introduced this love to my daughter 12 years ago when she was 9 (now she's 21) & together, we cared and continue to care for numerous pets in and around our neighborhood. She's in college now, but always enjoys a dog when she comes home for a weekend, holiday, or anytime. I appreciate you in advance for trusting me and my family to take care for your pet(s) whenever given the opportunity. I've personally never known what it's like to not take care for an animal but we did lost our Havanese in the summer of 2024. We will be getting another one, but have not done so yet, so they is currently no other pet at our house. And we have a lot of love to give to all pets. We'll do our best to treat them just like you would. Our goal is to make them feel just like they do at home. If that's the service you're wanting for your fur baby/babies - look no further! Book a meet and greet. Also feel free text me any questions as well. We take care of animals for family, friends, & around our neighborhood. My schedule is flexible & I'm available most mornings, afternoons, & early evenings. Our goal is to care for them just like you do, giving you the peace of mind knowing that they or them are in kind, loving, trustworthy, reliable hands. I have a fenced in backyard and care for any animal around the clock. When housing animals, I do ask that animals do not jump up on the furniture on their own free will. We have leather couches and prefer dogs that have their own dog beds but if needed, we can discuss this in person and do what we can to accommodate them. Our Pepper, had congestive heart failure and was on medication and a special diet, so giving medicines and specific dog food is not a problem. We usually walk dogs 3x a day (2x during extremely hot days), as weather permits. We live in a cul-de-sac, so for many it's just a nice walk around the block for 10-15 minutes. Your fur baby will get plenty of exercise and enjoy the outdoors as they are free to run and play in the fenced in backyard. Thanks again and hope to see you and your fur babies soon.
About: I’ve grew up with dog my whole life. I live taking them on walks, to the park, or even just playing with them at the house, I enjoy doing it because it being me joy! I am currently and junior cheer coach and we have practice in Mondays, Tuesday’s, and Thursdays from 6:30-8:30, and we have games on Saturdays usually around 3! I take her on walks every 2-3 hours.

About: Hello! My name is Sasha, I’m a 25 year old zookeeper living with my family in Ruskin. I have experience with all kinds of species including birds, dogs, cats, primates, hoofstock, and reptiles. I’ve loved working in the animal field for the last several years at ranches, shelters, zoos, sanctuaries, and doggie daycares. I have experience giving oral and topical medication, vaccines, and more. My background has given me lots of experience creating various types of enrichment as well. If you need help curbing your animals’ boredom during the summer, I’m your girl! My end goal is to open a sanctuary for wild cats, hyenas, and bears (so if you have big dogs, I will immediately be accepting 😂). I’m excited to love and care for your animals, and I promise your fur babies will be in the best, most loving hands possible! If you’d like to discuss adjusting rates, please just shoot me a message! I try to be as flexible as possible. I work 4 days a week for 10 hours each day and my schedule is relatively predictable, so I can be as flexible as possible! My home will be unavailable as it is my family’s house and I’d rather not intrude on them like that, but caring for animals in their original home helps reduce anxiety for the pets and makes it easier for me to gain their trust anyway so I hope this isn’t an issue!
About: I have taken care of neighbors, friends and family's pets. I have had 10 pets in the past 35 years. I have trained 6 puppies. I have had 4 senior dogs. I am a retired teacher. Other than an occasional routine or exercise, I'm home. I have plenty of time to love and care for one of the most important member of your family. I have a fenced yard and can take on more than one dog from the same family. If your pet feels comfortable in a crate, I will set one up, otherwise I do not crate dogs. Dogs are welcome to sit on the furniture and I have dog stairs.
About: I took vet assistant classes in high school earning a certification and volunteered for a vet clinic in 2024. I have a strong passion for animals and I love all sizes and breed of dogs ! I have my own hair business so I am very flexible with my times as long as I know ahead of time to arrange my schedule. I own my own Shih Tzu puppy (2 years) and he has his own apartment area where all his toys, food and important essentials are held and this space is open to any new members !
About: Busy work schedule? Pets alone during the day? Let me help! Caring and responsible dog lover/owner with 10 years of experience. I have taken care of many breeds and sizes. Responsibilities have included; walking, bathing, feeding, and general routine care. Available weekdays 8 A.M.-6 P.M. serving the Apollo beach area. Rates can be negotiated based on distance traveled and services requested. Your pets will be well taken care of when I watch them.

About: I believe that pets are more than animals, they are also family. My priority is for them to be comfortable, healthy, well taken care of, and happy. I also have experience with giving medications such as oral, ear drops, and eye drops. Although this may sound a little random, I also speak Spanish for those who have pets that only understand that language. If your pet likes to sleep on the bed, I have no problem with that. I tend to enjoy the company anyway. I can house sit any day of the week/weekend. However, I do have another job that I go to: Monday-Friday. Other than that, I’m usually free. Before I go to work or anywhere, I make sure that I either walk my dogs, or at least take them outside the yard so they can do whatever they need to do. I also like to stay with them an hour or two before leaving, just because I like for them to have a little bit of cuddle or fun time. I also like to take them to the dog park to socialize them and for them to have their exercise. I usually try to keep them in a healthy diet but, if I do feed them human food, I always look up information to make sure if it’s healthy or not because, why should they miss out? They loves car rides as well, so I tend to bring them with me wherever they can. They’re my travel buddies. We also sometimes go chill at the beach, and whenever we do that, I always bring a bag of necessities such as toys, plenty of waters, their water bowls, their leash, and doggy bags. I sometimes bring a couple of their favorite treats or stop by a store to get something we can eat.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ruskin. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker.
