“Jessica was very communicative with me during the week+ catsitting. She was great with my cat who is a little private and not happy when strangers watch her. She did very good to make Ms Feta (the cat) feel comfortable and taken care of.”
About: I like to work on tricks, patience, and leash pulling while dogsitting. I am not a certified dog trainer but just like to help give dogs structure while in my care to hopefully build or keep good habits for their owners. I am comfortable with providing medications to both cats and dogs orally or with food- no injections. I always leave your home cleaner than I found it, wash my linens, and do basic home cleaning so when you return home you can focus on your fur babies and relaxation! I work a full time job *IN OFFICE* Monday through Fridays 8am-4pm. I can let dogs out before and after work and depending on your homes distance from my office, I can offer a quick lunch time potty break or walk. I treat every animal I come across with the same care and love I have for my own. I am the kind of woman who gets excited seeing any kind of animal while out and about and has to stop the owner to see if I can say hello to their fur baby!☺️ Animals fill my cup up and I hope I can do the same for them. Snuggling with my fur babies is my favorite pastime.
“Noelle is great! She watched Belle for me several times throughout the summer, sometimes on short notice. She was super quick to respond to any messages sent her way and gave great reports after each walk. Judging by the photos, Belle seemed to enjoy each visit she had with Noelle. ?”
About: Hi, Im Alexa! I am 26 and I’m from Indiana. I moved to Florida just recently and I currently work part time and would love to meet new furry friends. I have always loved animals and have had many pets during my life. I have had 4 cats, 2 dogs, and rabbits, hamsters, and birds. I have gained most of my experience dog sitting through my family members. I currently take care of my cousins’ golden doodle and cocker spaniel twice a year since 2020. I have also dog sat my grandparents’ corgi multiple times. I do have some experience farm sitting for rabbits and chickens as well. I am open to whatever needs are necessary for keeping your pets happy and look forward to meeting them. :) I am currently working part time, 4 days a week for around 5 hours a day. I am available 3 days out of the week or longer if my part time schedule will not affect the sitting. If any questions about scheduling please feel free to reach out. :) Your wish is my command! Whatever is necessary to keeping your pets happy and healthy, I am willing to do! Walks, lots of potty breaks, food schedules, medication, cuddles, etc. As long as everything is noted, I am happy to be there
About: I've owned a variety of dogs of every breed and size, (Gr8Danes, pekingese, doodles, terriers, the list goes on) all from a very young age. I've had puppies, to special needs seniors... All of whom have different skills sets required for their care. Im currently a stay at home Mom. One of my children is a 2 time cancer survivor and requires a flexible schedule due to her weakened immunity. My schedule is pretty packed as a busy mom before and after school... but my availability during the day and on weekends is usually fairly open for visits, walks, cuddles or any type of care. I'm more than able to follow any schedules you may want to follow. Including eating/medication times as I know and respect how sensitive some animals are.
About: Hi! I have been working with pets for 15 years now. I started in doggy daycare and have since worked as a vet tech and professional dog groomer. Comfortable with any medication administration. I’m happy to hang with your pet on the couch or walk/run your dog on request. My work schedule is flexible and I would be happy to work with you based on your pets’ needs! Reach out, I’d love to work with you! I will treat your home as if it is my own! No request is too silly. I understand spicy cats and behavioral dogs can be nervous with someone coming into their home. I will do my best to make everyone comfortable.
“This was the first time I used Sky to house and cat sit for me and I am very pleased. First of all, she came to my house to meet us and to discuss my cat's daily routine. She was very professional and attentive, and also gentle when approaching my cat. While I was away, Sky sent me a photo of my cat every day, along with a description of what they did that day, both of which I really appreciated. When I came home, I found everything very clean and in good order, including the litterbox and all of her dishes washed and ready for use. My bed was also freshly made, another very kind thing to do for me! I highly recommend using Sky as a pet sitter and a house sitter, you will be happy you did!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!
“Kim was wonderful with our kitty Sofia! Sofia met her every time at the door and was so happy to see her. Sofia ate very well and was very well taken care of by Kim. I would highly recommend Kim to drop in and spend time with your kitty ❤️❤️”
“Xinyu was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout my trip and went above and beyond when an unexpected issue came up. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her care. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I've grown up with a large variety of pets my entire life, ranging from dogs (big, medium and small), cats, fish, beared dragons, chinchillas, and hamsters. Therefore I am very comfortable when it comes to handling varying types of pets and their personalities. Currently a full time college student and also looking for a part time job, but all my classes are online so my availability is pretty flexible. I walk 2 of my dogs daily as well as play with them in my backyard for at least 15 minutes a day since they are younger and need the enrichment. I also feed all my pets daily and provide them with clean water and litter boxes for those who use it.
About: I have loved and owned dogs my entire life. My parents raised Great Danes and Cocker Spaniels giving me an appreciation for different breeds and personalities. I offer patience, dependable care, affection and attention to each dog's individual needs. I treat every dog like family, wanting them to feel safe, loved and happy. I am retired and have the time to spend with your pet, so they are happy when you come home. Your pet will be my priority and have my undivided attention. I will treat your home with respect and your pets like family. I'll follow your instructions carefully, maintain their normal routines, provide loving attention, and keep you updated so you feel confident your pets are safe, and well cared for while you are away.
About: I have taken care of puppies all the way up to 18 year old elderly dogs. I have a lot of patience for dogs that may be shy or timid, and need that extra special caring person. But i also love going for dog walks ! I am dedicated to working with pets and whatever they may need. I love doing overnight care but also enjoy going for dog walks when needed I love when pet parents leave me a guide for their pets. This helps the pet stay on their routines and feel as comfortable as can be.
About: I have a lifetime of caring for pets of all types and have always had dogs and/or cats as a pets. When I was younger I worked as a vet technician.

Check in and let me know what you need, I'm sure I can move some things around! I am happy to follow any care instructions provided by pet owners to a T! I would also be happy to provide any advice based on my experience if asked.
About: Taken care of many cats and dogs! I have worked in pet boarding resorts! As long as your friendly pooch and I get along well, I will gladly care for your dog as schedule allows! I am a swim teacher, but on my free days and in my other free time can walk dogs and do drop in visits for any non aggressive dog, cat or caged pets. Aggressive pets will be taken on case by case basis if I’ll be able to safely handle. I currently live in a condo with my own dog, but during drop in visits and walks I’ll be paying attention to dog or cat interests and health needs. I’m willing to cater to the individual needs of the pet and treat them like my own. Also willing to care for non cat/dog pets within home as well.
About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe, love on them and will be their fill in mommy/daddy until you return. ;) I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility. I am off during the summers, holidays, weekends, spring breaks, etc. I enjoy working with animals. During the school year I’m a school counselor. I have flexibility with the job as I’m able to leave for a lunch break/check on your pup. Also, my school counselor hours are 8:15-3:30. I am in early and off early to be able to check on your animals. *** I will be in town for ALL holidays, weekends, and last minute availability:) I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them if it helps them feel more comfortable. That is not a requirement though. I prefer going to your home only because the animals tend to do better in their own house.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sarasota
Molly watched our cat for a week while we were out of town for our wedding, and she was fantastic from start to finish. She was prompt with updates, super attentive to our cat's routine, and made sure everything ran smoothly while we were away. Coming home to a calm, well cared for pet made our return so much sweeter. Highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for top notch pet care!
Caroline has taken care of our kittos over the last 2 years, and we are always so grateful when she is available to help us with drop-in visits for our kittos when we’re out of town. 🐾🐾❤️ She gives us the funniest updates and takes the best pics of our kitty crew. 🥰
Katherine absolutely loves cats and it shows! Her care and attention she showed my cat were evident in every picture and every update she shared with me. She is without question everything I could have hoped for in a cat sitter. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Katherine!
We had a wonderful experience with Sabrina during her drop-in visits with Luna. Luna is an 8-year-old Siamese with a strong personality — a "cool customer" who shows affection on her own terms and doesn't warm up to just anyone. Sabrina read her perfectly: she gave Luna the playtime and attention she needs without pushing, and let her set the pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates that showed she genuinely paid attention to Luna's quirks. If you have a pet with opinions and want someone patient and truly caring, Sabrina is your person. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.
Nicole has been awesome to our kitties over multiple visits. She takes great care in making sure they are happy while we’re away! You can tell she takes pride in what she does. Her daily updates and photos let us know how much she cares about our little loves. So happy to have found her! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!
What a wonderful month+ for Scout. Dana, you have a friend for life! I am also feeling very fortunate to have you in charge of Scout while we traveled to see family in CA. I can not thank you enough for the tender loving care you gave Scout to let me visit family for 6 weeks. It was a long time, but I think she loved her time with Dana!! 🩷

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sarasota is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $41 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 439 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sarasota. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
