About: I’m a certified Veterinary Technician with hands-on clinical experience, which sets me apart from most sitters who don’t have a medical background. I can recognize early signs of illness, injury, or distress that an untrained eye might miss — and I know how to respond calmly if something comes up. Specific skills I bring: • Medication administration — comfortable with oral and topical meds, including multi-pet or complex schedules • Senior pet care — experienced with mobility issues, medication timing, and the extra patience older pets need • Puppy care — house training reinforcement, socialization, and safe exercise for growing joints • Anxious or special-needs pets — calm, patient handling for pets who need extra reassurance • Health monitoring — tracking eating, energy, and bathroom habits so you get an accurate picture, not just “they’re fine Pet care is a consistent, reliable part of my week, not something squeezed in around other plans. Monday through Thursday, I’m available after 4:30 PM through 7 AM the next morning — perfect for evening walks, overnight stays, or early morning visits before your day starts. Friday through Sunday, I’m open all day and night, so weekend trips, full-day pet sitting, and last-minute weekend bookings are easy to accommodate. This schedule means your pet gets steady, dependable care on a routine they can count on — whether it’s a weekday evening walk after work or a full weekend of overnight sitting. Overnight & House Sitting I stay in your home so your pet keeps their normal routine, environment, and comfort — no stressful car rides or unfamiliar spaces. I follow their existing feeding, walk, and medication schedule exactly as you’d do it, and I spend real time with them (not just quick check-ins) so they get companionship, not just care. I also keep an eye on the house — bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, and making sure everything’s secure while you’re away. Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits I arrive on schedule and give your pet my full attention for the visit — fresh food and water, a walk or bathroom break, and playtime or affection depending on their energy level. For pets on medication, I handle that at the right time with the right dose. I always do a quick health/behavior check while I’m there, since my vet tech background means I notice things like changes in appetite, energy, or mobility. Every visit, regardless of service • Daily photo and video updates so you can see exactly how things are going • Care that matches their routine, not a one-size-fits-all approach • Attentiveness to health and behavior, not just supervision I don’t currently offer boarding in my own home — all my services take place at your home, so your pet stays in their own familiar space.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for pets of different personalities, ages, and needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks, and I’m happy to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also a big believer in communication, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they need. 🐾❤️ My schedule varies, but I have flexibility throughout the week and can work with your pet’s routine. I’m available for daytime walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that gives your pet the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet in a safe, comfortable environment. I understand every pet has different routines and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and other care instructions. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and genuinely love spending time with dogs — playing, exploring, and getting them out for enrichment, not just a quick walk around the block. My own dog and I are regulars at sniff spots and the beach, and I know how much a good sniffy walk can do for a dog’s mood and energy. I have specific experience with reactive dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and keeping walks calm and controlled. At home I’ve got two cats, and between my own pets and my 5 granddogs (a few of whom have physical disabilities), I’ve had a lot of practice adapting care to each animal’s individual needs. You’ll get a reliable, on-time sitter/walker who treats your dog like part of the pack, with photo and text updates along the way. A few highlights: • Experienced with reactive dogs — calm, attentive handling • Loves active outings: sniff spots, beach walks, play sessions • Comfortable with dogs who have physical disabilities or special needs Flexible, fully open schedule — available weekdays, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I can accommodate last-minute requests and recurring bookings alike. Careful, security-conscious sitter. I’m always attentive to leashes, gates, and doors, keeping every pet secure and safe. I will treat them like my own.

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.

Jenny was so warm and caring, and her regular updates & photos gave us a great peace of mind while we were away. She took really good care of Latte, and even left our home cleaner than when we had left it! We would happily book Jenny again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and pet sit for friends all the time! I love animals and love to hang out with them and keep them company!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Siesta Key

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Siesta Key is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $25 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 October 2026, there are 1,036 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Siesta Key. 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , 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.
