“Camila did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town! She asked questions beforehand to make sure that she was taking proper care of him, and she provided updates and pictures/videos of him every time she visited. I will definitely be asking her to take care of him again next time I’m out of town!”

Whether it’s going for long walks, giving belly rubs, or keeping up with special diets and medications, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care — that’s why I prioritize safety, communication, and lots of love. From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I’ve got you covered! I work full-time, but I get out of work pretty early, I’m pretty flexible so just let me know whenever you need me. reach out if you need anything! I have one dog at home. She is two years old.

“Erika was very attentive and took great care of my 2 kitties while I was away. Great communication and I received lots of pictures and videos showing how they were doing!”
“Jessica was an amazing drop-in sitter. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of Dice’s latest antics. Her experience as a vet tech made me feel that Dice was in good hands. I would highly recommend Jessica for anyone using her services. They will be assured that they are receiving the best care possible.”
“Kayla was excellent to work with. She was very communicative and our dog loved her. Our dog can be a picky eater and she was super helpful finding ways to make sure she ate enough. She sent lots of great pictures and was able to access everything easily. The house was in perfect condition when we arrived. I would totally book her again.”
About: Pups or senior doggies, I LOVE them all!! I've been taking care of dogs since I was very young. I've cared for small, medium and large dogs. I've kept track of food and walking routines for multiple dogs at once. I love playing and giving them lots and lots of love!! I'm very responsible and when in charge of a pet they are my number one concern. I treat all pets like my own. Their paws are in good hands here :) My schedule is very open and centered around pet care, so I’m able to provide reliable, timely visits and give each pet plenty of attention. I’m available for multiple check-ins throughout the day and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. I prioritize safety by following your pet’s routine closely and paying attention to their behavior and needs. I’m careful with leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks and visits, and I treat your home with respect. I also provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Once again Alexis is outstanding!! You will not find a better pet sitter. She is so communicative and inquisitive asking important questions! She is so amazing with both cats and dogs and knowledgeable about them! My cats and dogs loooooove her. She is deeply caring and kind and you can trust her completely with your babies. She truly treats them with the utmost love and care. Highly highly recommend. I will never use another sitter because I don’t trust anyone else!!”
About: i’ve owned animals since the day I was born. Everything from dogs, cats, fish, and now in my adult life rabbits! Not only that, but eventually I want to turn my passions into a careers in being a conservationist. I am planning on doing online schooling this upcoming fall which means that I’ll have plenty of time to watch and care for your fur babies. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to roam. Not only that, but my house is already pet proofed because of my bunnies at home.
“Mindy and her family welcomed my Frenchie into there home. Mindy provided excellent care and attention to Uni’s needs. I will absolutely ask her again to sit again. Highly recommend. Brian”
About: I adore dogs. Our family has always had dogs. I believe dogs need exercise, petting, and conversations with their owners. No matter if your dog is high energy or just ready to chill all day, I can lend a hand with proper care when you can’t be with him/her. If you think maturity (age) matters - haha - I’m the one to care for your fur baby. I am retired but very active and enjoy walks. I am mostly at home and will therefore give that feeling of security if your pet is with me. Or, if I am visiting your home, I am not pressed for time nor will I be attached to my cell phone. Giving attention to your family member will be my priority. I have a pet friendly house. I have a large screened in back patio and a large park directly behind my place. Plus plenty of area for walks. If I go to your home, assume I will give your dog plenty of attention and lots of time in the fresh air. I’m a big fan of getting your dog outdoors.
“Veronica helped us with three drop-in visits to make sure our cats were doing ok while we were away. She sent lots of pictures, scooped their boxes, and made sure everyone had food and water. Well for sure hire her again.”

When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have two cats , and grew up with 3 dogs my whole life - a pitbull mix, a German Shepard mix, and a Chihuahua mix who have always been full of energy and love! I am currently in grad school finishing up my masters in special education and behavior analysis! I currently work 9-5 but I am currently available for 2 to drop ins or house sittings when needed!

Cherie was amazing with my Frenchie. She came to meet him before the scheduled care which I thought was nice. She also kept me updated with notes and pictures. I felt at ease while I was away knowing he was in good hands. Will rebook and highly recommend for your pet needs.
Kayla was excellent to work with. She was very communicative and our dog loved her. Our dog can be a picky eater and she was super helpful finding ways to make sure she ate enough. She sent lots of great pictures and was able to access everything easily. The house was in perfect condition when we arrived. I would totally book her again.
Our 2 aged and one somewhat infirm and needing a bit of extra attention were in GREAT hands and were very happy, healthy, and well fed in the wonderful care of Natalie! We received regular update photos showing their happiness and care. We will definitely be requesting her help in the future. Thank you
Paityn was wonderful. She has great communication and Mushroom was very well taken care of. I’m very thankful for Paityn‘s flexibility as well. I had a flight cancellation and was a day late getting home and she was able to book the additional day immediately with no notice. I will definitely choose Paityn again to care for Mushroom!!!!

She is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of my fur babies, as if they were her own. I don’t know how she does it, but every visit means receiving the BEST pictures of my babies. The perfect thing to receive while away from them. I highly recommend Camila for your babysitting needs!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alafaya stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Alafaya 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Alafaya with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
