About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of different ages and temperaments, including fostering kittens and caring for shy or anxious pets. I’m attentive to routines, behavior cues, and comfort needs, and I take pride in making pets feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m able to provide attentive check-ins, playtime, and companionship, and I’m available for boarding and extended care on weekends and weekday afternoons. I take safety and trust very seriously and follow pet parents’ instructions closely. I maintain a clean, calm environment, supervise interactions carefully, and respect each pet’s boundaries and routines. I’m attentive to behavior changes, health concerns, and communication, and I’ll always keep owners updated for peace of mind.
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!
About: I have owned many types of animals throughout my life and have dog sat for the last 10 plus years. I am comfortable with all types of pets. I am currently between jobs so I have all the time in the world to give your pets the best possible care it can receive! I have many years of experience caring for animals big and small. I am comfortable being hands on or simply letting your pet relax while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alafaya
Jin was great with our two dogs! She carried our elderly dog outside because of our two steps and she gave both of them their enrichment activities mid day to work their brains. She spent time cuddling with them too. ❤️❤️ one of our dogs is sensitive to new people and she is patient and slow with him and he loves her!
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!!!!

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.

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.
