About: I’ve been a dog owner of Cairns and Westies. We have a two year old German Shepherd. I just love the companionship of dogs. Love helping seniors with walking dogs or housesitting their pets for their trips away from home. Ilove walking dogs and caring for them. Weekend and overnight care in your home is available. As an owner of a German Shepherd I’m fully aware how difficult it can be to kennel your bff (pet). I love caring for pets as if they are my own. Give me a call and allow me the opportunity to take care of your pet dog. I will walk and feed your dog (s). Stay with them and play, pet and cuddle to ease any anxiety they may have in your absence.

About: Hey! I’m Yokra but I go by Shira :) 🐾 I’ve always loved animals and have 7 years of experience caring for my own dogs, including two Chihuahuas and a Goldendoodle. I’m caring, responsible, and love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family! 🤍 I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’d love to spend my free time caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home. I keep up with their feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and any routines their owners provide. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and love, while keeping their environment clean and safe. I have two Chihuahuas and a Goldendoodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and lots of love. ❤️

About: I’m that person who greets the dog before the human. 🐾 Whether it’s working on puppy manners, giving extra care to seniors, or long walks for high-energy pups, I tailor every visit to their personality. My goal is simple — happy, tired, and loved dogs (and totally stress-free owners). I'm currently working part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule to meet your and your pet's needs! Taking care of animals fits easily into my week; it’s something I truly enjoy doing, not just a task to check off. I look forward to my walks, feedings, and hangouts with each pet like they’re my own. I am very detail-oriented and excel in organization so whatever uncommon requests you have, count on me to follow them! Patience is a strong suit, as well as caution, to ensure your pet's safety is my number one priority.

About: I have a cat Liam who I care for and I help my family care for their cats and dogs as well. I have pet sit/house sit for 3 years now. I'm consistent with my check ups and walkings/feedings. I stick to a schedule all the time. I'm also always all over the areas from Venice to Riverview, I can always do drop by, a quick walk. I'm flexible with my schedule to fit your pets needs, and any last minute bookings! I'm currently working at 2 jobs and still have free time for your pets! I work as a house cleaner and receptionist, I love staying active and just hanging out with animals. My desk job gives me 3-5 hours of an extended break Thu-Sunday. Outside of that I am I clean homes and offices around the Venice, Sarasota, and Bradenton Area. My family and I have 3 cats, Liam, Munchkin, and Sunni. We also have a chihuahua mixed, shes our oldest. I keep our pets on a feeding schedule and in charge of food and keeping it stocked. I am very strick about their feeding schedule and food quality. Before I even became a cat parent I did extensive research just trying to find the best quality and affordable food, litter, toys. I've always wanted the best for them and treat them as an baby. Our cats also love the outdoors so I also walk them, harnessed or off but they well enough to stay close when we walk. I've also taught Liam a few tricks for treats (he'll do almost anything for treats).

About: I am a CPDT-KA certified, positive reinforcement dog trainer, and have worked in the professional pet care world for close to 20 years, with a lifetime love and heart for animals. I have spent the last few years doing private training lessons for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and breeds. I specialize in basic training, puppy training, family transitions (new baby, move, etc) as well as Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog training. Prior to that I worked for 7 years with a wonderful training group in the suburbs of Detroit where I not only taught and assisted with a variety of classes, I also worked in their dog walking and pet sitting department. In addition to that, my work history ranges from veterinary clinics, horse farms, dog daycares as well as shelter work and beyond. From a very young age I was drawn to and connected to animals and time always flew when I was beside them. I was that kid that would find stray cats to bring home, would knock on neighbors' doors and ask if I could walk their dog for free, and traded barn work for horse lessons as a young teen. I am so blessed to be working in a field that doesn't feel like work!! I am a full time mom and wife and part time dog trainer. I am happy to fit your pets' care into my daily routine and family's schedule. Please know my availability generally is around my kids' school schedule. My kids are very respectful and animal savvy, so if you are okay with them tagging along, that often opens up my availabilty more. I have cared for as well as owned a variety of animals with varying needs over the years. I understand and empathize the stress that can occur from having to leave your pet in the hands of someone else. I strive to make sure your pet is cared for with their individual needs, with lots of love, and most importantly your peace of mind while you are away for a day, a week, or longer. I treat my clients' pets with tender love and care like they were my own, just like how I would want my own pet to be cared for.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning and can help reinforce basic training, potty routines, and good manners. I’m also attentive to senior pets who may need extra care, slower walks, medication, or simply a little more patience and comfort. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. im currently a working part time mom who is pregnant with a 3 year old as well but my 3 yr old is in school so im available during the day after 1 and at night time i have a fenced yard! but with my 3 year old id prefer if i was able to have your babies in my home to make things easier

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 Venice. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

walkers 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 walker.
