About: I’ve taken care of my family dog from puppy age to senior age for 14 years and have also dog sat for friends. I enjoy playing with dogs and accompanying them for any time that is needed! Recently relocated to Florida and currently looking for a job so I have plenty of time to fit any needs for dog sitting and dog walking! My availability is any time in the morning and before 5pm every Tuesday through Saturday. Can drive to client’s home for dog sitting and walking and if client needs overnight dog sitting, will be willing to stay if needed.

About: Hello! My name is Andrea and I am a full-time student alongside working part-time as an EMT. During my downtime, I study, organize my days and spend time with my animals. They are my absolute pride and joy, the best friend you could ask for! I have always loved dogs, and have had animals since I was five years old. I used to pet sit for neighbors before I moved away to college and really enjoyed it! I also volunteered at Nate's Honor Animal Rescue, which is located in Bradenton. I enjoy growing and learning more and more about different animals as I become more experienced on this app! I am looking forward to taking care of your fur babies with the same love and care you provide for them!

About: I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace, medication support, and extra comfort. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach and commitment to maintaining your pet’s routine. I build trust, follow instructions carefully, and communicate with regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and present throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m able to maintain your pet’s normal schedule and provide consistent attention, check-ins, and care throughout the day—not just mornings and evenings. Pets are family to me—my dog is my entire world. I care for every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I follow routines closely, keep a calm and safe environment, and provide constant supervision since I work from home. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort and always share updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.

About: I grew up in a dog loving family and I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid with my brother around our childhood neighborhood. I have a little guy of my own and his is my best friend. I am an Athletic Trainer and over summers I get to work half-days with weekends off. I am currently working six hour shifts over the summer Monday through Friday. So I have plenty of time for a stop in or a walks. My weekends are off as well! Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, I do have a secured cable post that I let my dog wander on his 25ft cable (with me present). My dog and I go for lots of walks around the neighborhood and sometimes through GT Bray which is about 5 minutes from my house.

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, an 8 year old Dutch Shepherd & a 5 year old Golden Retriever. They are my absolute babies, and my life revolves around them. I’ve grown up around all sorts of dogs & cats, and am extremely comfortable around them. I live an active lifestyle and walk my dogs 1.5 miles daily. My biggest stressor when traveling is finding adequate care for my boys, so I know what it’s like finding the perfect care solution for your pets. I do in house visits, walks, dog boarding, anything and everything your pet may need. I work a rotation schedule at work, so I’m 2 days on 2 days off, so my schedule is all over the place but also allows me to provide coverage during the week and weekends. I can do home visits, dog walking, dog boarding, oral medication, specialty feedings, dog enrichment, and anything your pet would need to thrive in your absence.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - South Bradenton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
