“2nd time booking with Christina and she is so amazing and attentive!! My cat has never been so comfortable when I return back from a trip. I dread the day I eventually move away from Sarasota and lose her as my pet sitter.”
About: I have always loved animals and can provide one on one specialized care to your animals. I care about the animals in my care and am willing to make them a priority. I always treat animals like my own and give them the best care and attention. These animals are like my own and deserve the best possible care without worry.

I am very detailed and follow owners directions and requests. I will ensure animals are getting the care they deserve weather that be extra play time or comfort. I know to follow diets and care instructions to ensure animals stay on routine.
About: Growing up on 3 acres of land and having many animals as pets, I have always owned pets and have a passion for loving and caring for them. This is for ALL breeds and all sizes. Animals not only bring joy to our lives but count on us to give them the best life too! I am extremely reliable, very friendly and energetic so your pet will get lots of exercise and play time. I believe that a healthy pet is a happy pet. I have lots of excellent references too. I have 2 sweet Pit Bulls of my own and absolutely love this breed of dogs, despite there terrible reputation that we as people have given them. I am used to strong, determined dogs that love to chase anything with a tail!! I also love cats, little dogs and ones that just want some love and cuddles on the couch!! I recently staryed my own pet transportation company and am taking a break from being on the road for the last 6 months to be home for the holidays! Please consider me when you need loving care for your pets!! I will send you updates and lots of pictures to put your mind at ease while you are away! I have pretty flexible hours but usually available mornings, evenings and weekends and am able to accept last minute bookings to accommodate your specific needs I have a fenced in backyard and 2 dogs at home. One loves other dogs and the other will be crated when other dogs are around.
“I was very surprised that my shy cat would respond to a stranger. She came right to her and seem perfectly content. I recommend Sharon she definitely has a way with shy kitties.”
“Frisky looks great in these pictures that Jennifer sent! The updates are so beautiful 😍 we missed our baby and it made it easier to to hear how well he was and see too. Thank you!!!”
About: I have experience taking care of care of the smallest, and most ferocious chihuahuas to the largest of lovable breeds like the purebred German shepherd. I know they all have their own unique personalities and such and that’s why it’s important for me to let them warm up to me at their own pace. I have just started to look for more work as a “professional” pet sitter, along with house sitting. I am still in the process of expanding my little side business! Honestly I try to spend as much time with them as possible, or for cats let them come to me. For me it’s about being patient with their wants such as walking or play time, and always making sure they are healthy and well fed.
“Cher is wonderful! This was my first experience using this service. I'm visiting from out of town and had to go out of town for a few days. Cher responded to my request quickly. Cher and me a text msg while there with my cat, she sent several short videos, she even cleaned up the mess the cat made with his food. I 10/10 recommend Cher!”
About: Hello! For most of my life I've grown up around pets. We always had dogs and cats, and while currently we have four cats I often house sit my mother's dog Honey. I have a passion for animals I hope to someday turn into a career. Just a side note while I am available weekends my time is limited to late mornings early afternoons due to transportation issues Currently I am unemployed and trying to get out of the food service industry. I have access to a vehicle if needed for house visits. I will happily take your furry friend on multiple walks, drop in to ensure everyone gets bathroom breaks, or even watch your cats if you're out of town. Typically for our four cats I take sole care of them. They are fed 1/4 cup dry food each 2 times a day and a can of wet food a day as well. Our cats are older so there's not much activity wise, however when Honey my mother's dog visits we usually do two walks a day. We also have a fenced in backyard for zoomies, full screened in lanai (with a pool which can be sectioned off) for post zoomies. When watching her overnight she gets herself a full bowl of dry food to graze on while receiving two portions of wet food throughout the day.

About: I've grown up my whole life with many, many farm animals including dogs and cats. I always loved the pets the most and I can't wait to meet your's! My current occupation is as a Flight Instructor, so I have a very flexible schedule (since I make my own schedules). I am normally available anytime of the week since I have the flexibility to move things around my schedule. Have you ever met a pilot that's not oriented around safety? Well guess what, I can guarantee that your pet will be left in safe, loving arms.

“Taylor is amazing with our girl. She's just over 6 months now and some dog sitters are really stand offish with a "puppy" but Taylor stepped up and really delivered! She's an absolute pleasure to be around and couldn't be happier!”
About: Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to have dogs as companions, which has instilled in me a deep understanding of animal care. As an ardent animal enthusiast, I have developed a particular fondness for cats, having personally adopted one. When entrusted with the care of others’ animals, I approach my responsibilities with utmost seriousness, treating them with the same compassion and attention I would bestow upon my own. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. I currently take care of Pets on a part-time basis and have a few regular clients who leave every month for few days to two weeks. In their absence, I take over their pet sitting and housesitting responsibilities. I always enjoy starting the day with a meet-and-greet where I get to meet the parents and the animal. We then go over where all their food is stored. Their favorite spots are often their favorite toys, which are essentially their daily routine. I try to fit myself into that routine as easily as possible to make things easier for both the animal and the parents.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Venice Gardens
Holly was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and accommodating, especially since we reached out on short notice. Our cat had recently had surgery and needed some extra care and attention, and Holly took such great care of him. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him all the love and attention he needed. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. We would absolutely trust Holly with our pets again and highly recommend her to anyone!
Devon has taken care of my cats for me a couple times and I absolutely recommend her. She is the first cat sitter I’ve ever booked and I will continue to book with her in the future. I come home to happy kitties with full food bowls, fresh water, and clean litter. She goes above and beyond and I could not be more thankful!
Tracy was an absolute blessing!! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I traveled out of state. I received updates and pictures with each visit. It was so comforting knowing my boys where well taken care of while I couldn't be there. If I ever have to leave them again, I will be sure to rebook Tracy with Rover! Thank you Tracy!!

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
