About: I've always loved caring for animals and have had pets my whole life ranging from energetic Dobermans, stubborn Bulldogs, and sassy rescue cats, to hermit crabs, hamsters, and bunnies. Meaning, I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I'm dependable, patient, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, administering medication, or simply sticking to routine, I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. After all, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm happy to follow detailed instructions, send regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free until you return. I've spent years pet-sitting for friends and family on-top caring for my own pets, so I'm comfortable with pets who have different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I love getting to know every pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're gone. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’m committed to keeping routines consistent, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love. I’ll always communicate with you and provide updates while you’re away. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, or overnight stays, I’m dependable, punctual, and focused on maintaining your pet’s normal routine to keep them happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, while maintaining a clean and secure environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and can provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their individual personality, routines, and any special needs. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands as I treat both your pet and home with the same respect as I do my own.
“Cherie went above and beyond, especially in a time where another rover did not work out. It was a breath of fresh air to get someone so attentive and kind to not only us but our kitties.”
“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 have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life! I am currently a cat mom to a long-haired tuxie with a big personality. I have helped my family raise two high-energy Australian shepherds, given insulin shots to my diabetic cats, and walked big dogs who like to pull hard. I have cared for my own kittens and puppies from baby to senior adults. I have also volunteered at animal shelters and love spending my time with furry friends. I just graduated with my PhD and am currently job hunting, so I have lots of availability to care for your sweet pets! I am happy to stop by throughout the day, go for walks, and sit with your animals so they're not alone. My goal is to be very thorough with your pets routine. When possible, I would like to set up a meet and greet and learn where all food/treats/toys/medicine/litter/crate, etc is kept. I also will be sure to collect vet information, in case of emergency. I will make sure fences are shut or animals are properly leashed before going outside. I also want to make sure pets stay in their designated areas and follow your instructions for them. I am also used to cleaning up after pets, so that's not a problem either!
“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”
“Veronica went above and beyond caring for our senior dog Harley. We were in need of a sitter due to a last minute trip for a family emergency, Veronica was so accommodating and kept us at ease knowing our dog was left in great hands. We cant thank her enough for her thoughtful updates and photos throughout her drop-in visits with Harley. We would highly recommend Veronica and will be booking with her in the future!”
“Emmanuel was so amazing with our cats!! He sent pics everyday and also sent us videos via text. I highly recommend booking with him! I’m hoping he’s available anytime I need a sitter in the future. Thanks, Emmanuel!!”
“Thank you Erika for taking care of my precious baby. She made sure Milo was taken care of and played with every single visit. Reassured me that Milo was doing okay by sending pictures and videos. I even started noticing Milo was getting more comfortable more and more each visit with her which made me happy. She accommodated me when I needed to add an extra day of drop in visits at the last minute. Overall, I am pleased to say that I have found a great reliable sitter for my fur baby.”
“I really appreciate her attention to their behavior and wellbeing! I normally am afraid to leave my cats but she made me a lot more comfortable knowing they’ve been thriving and sends lots up through updates!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alafaya
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.
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!

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.

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.
