“Had a great experience with Stephanie and Elizabeth! They house/pet sat for us for a full week and we were not concerned at all while away as we knew our pets (2 dogs and turtle) were in great hands. They sent us regular updates including photos and videos! We felt very comfortable with them both with our pets and in our home. Without a doubt, we will use their services again. Thank you for helping make our time away more enjoyable!”
“Jamie was absolutely fantastic! Not only did my Baby Girl take to her right away - you can tell she is a huge dog lover. She is kind and respectful and sent me some pupdates as well. Both myself and my pup are looking forward to seeing her again and I would highly recommend her to family and friends alike. 5 stars all the way!”
“Pris stayed in constant contact through caring for our three senior dogs. She was great with them and truly cared for them like they were her own. We'll hire Pris again in a minute when needed. Very easy to work with and nearby so it was easy for all of us.”
About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs. I started showing animals at my county fair when I was 9 years old. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life until I moved to Florida this year to live with and help take care of my grandpa. It would be a blessing to find some new animal friends to love on! I am currently working full time the at a Beach Resort as the Front Office Supervisor. My schedule is 3 PM to 11 PM so my mornings are free. If needed, I am also more than happy to swing by after my shift to walk/check on pets. I am unable to board pets at my house at this time, but I do not take going into other homes lightly. It is an honor that I treat with the utmost respect.
“Kinga dog sat for us for over 1 week. She was amazing. She provided daily updates and communication. Our dog absolutely loved her. She put our minds at ease knowing our dog was being well taken care of. She left the house in spotless condition. Thank you, Kinga!!!”
“Raith was awesome with our three animals. Super communicative, really flexible and the animals all completely loved hanging out with them. Will definitely be booking Raith again!”
“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!”
“Jessica was so wonderful with our dogs while we were gone for 2 weeks. She stayed at the house as we had hoped, made sure to get them out of the house on walks, and shared great communication throughout the whole process! We could tell in the pictures she sent us, that she truly cared for the dogs. We would have her back in a heartbeat! Thank you Jessica!”
“Seth was very attentive and communicated daily about the dogs with photos. He even applied ear antibiotics and cleaned Izzy's ears daily, as she got an ear infection just prior to him dog/house sitting.”
About: At around the age of 6, I started helping taking care of family pets. When I started living on my own, I took care of my own dogs. Upon getting married, my pet family grew to multiple dogs - Shelties and a Golden. I am available 7 days a week, 24 hrs a day, depending upon situations, my daily routine can be adjusted. Staying over night is also an option in extreme circumstances. I care for pets with loving care and respect. Depending upon situation on whether the dog has a yard to play or needs to be walked, the dog will have enough time to take care of their business and have some play time. We have a large fenced yard, but can only take into our home home dogs that are extremely cat friendly.
“My dogs warmed up to Kennadi right away. While I was away, Radar hurt her leg and could not get up. Kennadi handled the situation until I get back. I would be happy to have her house sit in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Bradenton
Janessa was amazing! She stayed at our house with our senior dog and two cats. She sent pictures and kept us updated daily. When we returned the house was clean and in the same manor we left it and the animals were well taken care of. She followed all of our requests for tending to the animals and the house. It made for a very relaxing vacation as we did not have to worry about anything. We will use her again!
Heidi is the absolute best, she took amazing care of my little girl while I was away on a business trip and I can’t be more grateful for her. This is the first time that I’ve ever used the service so I was a bit apprehensive at first but she put my mind at ease and kept in constant contact the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy person for their pet care needs!! 10/10!
This was our first time contracting with Jamie and we are very satisfied! She immediately bonded with our standard poodle. She was very conscientious with feeding schedule and eye drop medication. She kept Mindi active playing ball and walking several times a day. Jamie went beyond our expectations, we look forward to the next opportunity to use her services.
Lindsey was great with our two small dogs. When she came to the house to meet them, they instantly liked her, which isn't always the case with a lot of people. They have a mildly complicated feeding routine. Lindsey took notes and handled their mealtimes well. She was communicative throughout our 8 day trip, sending us photos and updates. Our flight was delayed coming back and she made sure to check in with us to ensure we got home and rhe dogs were OK. We highly recommend her!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred South Bradenton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in South Bradenton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in South Bradenton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
