“Stephanie and Elizabeth were great. They were very professional the whole time while they house/pet sat for us for a full week. They sent us regular updates including photos and videos! We felt very comfortable having them both with our pets and in our home. Without a doubt, we will use their services again. Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family.”
“Amanda was excellent and would highly recommend! We were gone for 10 days and she continued to consistently send photos, videos and updates everyday. She was very flexible in adjusting to our dogs needs and took good care of our home.”
“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!”
“Amelia was amazing with our two tiny dogs. They are both very nervous animals but warmed up so fast to her. I would be happy to have her back again as our dog sitter! Highly recommend!!”
“Jessie was very communicative and did an awesome job taking care of my two dogs. She sent lots of pictures as requested and I felt that she was very capable handling my high energy boxer mix and senior mini poodle mix. She also took excellent care of the house while I was away. Highly recommend her to watch anyone’s fur babies.”
About: I’ve volunteered at rescues, worked for a guide dog school, grooming salons and pet food stores and learned a lot of tricks and wisdom in my 13 years of owning and working with animals. Rescuing cats and dogs has been part of my life since I was 12, I know how to care for them at any stage of their life! I can handle giving medication, topically or orally. I can trim nails and bathe as an extra service and brush out a coat if given the right tools and opportunity. Walking around the neighborhood is no problem for me and taking pictures to update you is my specialty! I currently work part time and work full shifts Monday and Tuesday until 7pm; Wednesday and Saturdays are partial and end by 3pm so afternoons with your pup or kitty should be fine with me :)! Thursdays and Friday are free for me and I should have ample time to check on your pets more than once! Leaving me with a list through text or paper to follow about your little ones feeding regimen and/or medication will allow me to double check that everything is done with you before I leave. I will want to stay with your pet for at least an hour or more and give them the enrichment and socialization they need and will update with pictures to make you feel included :). I will take them outside for a potty at least 2x (once at the beginning and once at the end) and a walk in between to ensure they have an ample chance to use the bathroom. I will check around the house where they have access to ensure they haven’t gotten into anything or made a mess and if they have I will report it promptly to you through text or call depending on the urgency to not leave you with any surprises! At the end of the visit I will take a picture or short video of the pet to give you the peace of mind that they are safe when I leave.
About: I’ve never known life without dogs! I grew up with 3–4 at a time, adopted my first dog at 15, and now have three of my own. I also foster and have experience with everything from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls, German Shepherds and Bullmastiffs. I especially love working with deaf dogs and have experience teaching sign-language commands, basic obedience and leash skills. Friends and family have trusted me for years with their dogs and often come to me for help with behavioral concerns and care questions. I know how hard it is to leave your dogs behind. I’ve never boarded my own because I want them comfortable and loved while I’m away. I even brought all three to my wedding! Whether your pup is 10 pounds or 100, shy or full of zoomies, I’d love to keep them happy, loved, and help them “get their squiggles out” while you’re away. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend care, including daytime visits and walks. I’m happy to work around your pup’s normal routine and keep their schedule as consistent as possible while you’re away! 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort come first! I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine and individual needs. I’ll follow your feeding, walking, medication and house rules closely and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, playtime and affection. I’m also experienced with crates, senior dogs, anxious pups, special needs and dogs who need a little extra patience. 🐾
About: I have a varied history working with all different kinds of animals. This includes working in an animal shelter, pet sitting and also foster for Pug rescue and all breed rescues. Extensive medical knowledge and care. Make sure that every animal feels comfortable and lovingly cared for. I work part-time remotely in my home, so have plenty of time to provide in home visits and walks. Open to Holiday's and flexible for convenience. Very conscientious of care for not only the animal but the surroundings. Clean and thorough with the animals individual needs at the forefront. Thrive on order and clarity.
“Lorianne did a wonderful job housesitting and caring for our two labradors. She was punctual and sent us photo updates the whole time. We highly recommend her as we will want her to care for our dogs in the future!”
About: I grew up caring for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs, and even rescued squirrels! My dad was a certified animal rescuer, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. 🐾 I’ve been professionally dog sitting for about 5 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from Great Danes to small dogs, as well as puppies still potty training and senior dogs needing medications or special diets. My own pup, Mary, is an 8 lb Pomeranian! I love taking dogs on walks, keeping them active, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I currently work full-time in Sarasota, typically 8–9 hours a day, so I would be away during my workday Monday–Friday. I’m able to take a lunch break for a midday potty break if the home is within about 20 minutes of my workplace, and depending on the pet’s needs and the situation, I may be able to adjust my schedule when planned in advance. I’m available to stay overnight and will be with your pets before and after work, and I’m much more flexible on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s routine and needs are well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow their feeding schedule, provide fresh water, give medications if needed, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I also owned a cleaning business and regularly cared for the pets of my cleaning clients. This gave me years of experience being trusted in people’s homes. I’m respectful of your space, will clean up after myself and your pets, and will leave your home neat and the way I found it. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Elliana went really above and beyond with my house and animals. She left the house and critters cleaner and happier than she found them. She took care of house tasks and was so accommodating during her housesit. She gave love to Leo over the holidays and even got him a Christmas treat. She was great. She also has a history of working with animals, which is a comfort in every way.”
“Monique was absolutely amazing! She sent multiple photos and updates everyday. Very trustworthy to have in your home. When returning back from our trip, everything was how we left it. I highly recommend her!”
“Our dog is scared of many things and we were not sure how she would respond to a new person watching her for a week. Ashley did a wonderful job! She sent us many pictures throughout the week and kept us updated on everything. We highly recommend Ashley!”
About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.
About: I am attentive and constantly educating myself on animal behavior so your pet gets only the best for its needs! Ive helped friends and have been referred to others because of my pawtastic care! Im currently working part time so I can give your pet all the love and walks he/she deserves and needs as well as pets. Only the best for your furry family! Ive attended to medical instructions by owners and im very patient so animals love me because they are truly respected. I also send videos and pictures to my clients so they get updates in real time.
“Jenny was WONDERFUL with our cat Latte! This was Latte’s first overnight with a Pet-Sitter, and it went better than we could have hoped. 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!”
“Cassidy was a thoughtful and prepared sitter. She provided an update about our pup every morning and was quick to change plan to adjust to our pup’s needs. She utilized the resources we had at the house to ensure our pup was getting enough stimulation outside of walks. Cassidy was thoughtful in ensuring both household and pet needs were met while we were away. We would love to have Cassidy back.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Bradenton
The fact that our cat, Elvis, was happy to see us and not mad at us for leaving him, told us that all went well while we were gone! The pictures they send were great. The house was in order (not always the case with cat sitters we've used), and we had great peace of mind that they were vetted by Rover. Very professional and clearly very caring!
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!
Alina was great! She was available for a couple of last minute requests and my dog likes her so much I think we will now be repeat clients. She is very patient, and kept me inform every day about my dog's behavior (my shelter dog is getting old and sometimes is taking longer to "warm up" to strangers now). I highly recommend Alina. She is sweet, kind, reliable and great with gaining your pet's trust :)
McKayla was absolutely amazing while house-sitting and caring for my dog, Mable, and my cat, Kaiah. Mable is still a puppy with a ton of energy, so she can definitely be a handful, but McKayla was incredibly patient, attentive, and wonderful with her. She also took great care of Kaiah and made sure both pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. What really stood out was her communication. She sent so many photos and updates throughout my trip, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in great hands. She was always easy to reach, quick to respond, and kept me informed the entire time. Since she stayed in my home, I also appreciated how respectful and responsible she was. Everything was clean, tidy, and exactly as I left it when I returned. Coming home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house made all the difference. I would absolutely book McKayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dogs and cats while we were away, and gave us complete peace of mind. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Megan was fantastic with our two dogs. She sent plenty of updates and photos, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. I really appreciate how attentive and easy to communicate with she was. You can tell she truly loves the animals she cares for. I’d definitely use her again.
I'd use Shanna and her husband any time. Watched my guy for three nights at my place. Great communication -- they sent me updates after every meal and walk that he took his meds ate, peed, pooped, and photos each time. Exactly what I need to make me feel like he's being well taken care of. Five stars!

The average cost of House Sitting in West Bradenton is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $56 per night. 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.

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 West 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 West 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.
Tip: 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 West 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
