“Kate was great and I will definitely be using her again in the future! She responds quickly, is very understanding, and was available for me in a pinch. A lot of people are intimidated by Geno's size, and he still very much has a lot of "puppy energy" in him, so it's not always easy to find someone who embraces a big furry dog. Her drop in visit was perfect, and Geno was thrilled!”

About: I have always had a dog in my home and have grown up with many different breeds of dogs/animals. I have owned horses, cats, and reptiles and am comfortable with animals of all sorts and familiar with the care that they need. I am also good with older dogs and have enough patience to deal with young puppies. I have experience with dogs that have medical needs and I know how to administer a lot of different medications. I am up early and can walk dogs/ check in on pets before I head to work. I am also free most evenings and on the weekends. My senior dog recently passed so I do not currently have any dogs in my home. I do have a fenced in courtyard but I prefer house sitting as this is usually easier for the animals in the home.

About: Hi! I’m a pre-veterinary student with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve cared for family pets for over four years and have volunteered with animal shelters, where I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, so I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or just lots of attention, I’m happy to help. I’m reliable, patient, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My schedule varies with classes, work, and volunteering, but I keep my availability updated and communicate clearly. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully. I’ll treat your home with respect, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Evelynn was very kind when I met her during our meet and greet, and she did a wonderful job with my dog Zoe who can be quite reactive and a bit nervous at times. She was very communicative with me and followed all of my directions perfectly! Overall, she did an amazing job with both my animals!”

About: Throughout the past few years, I've sat for several of my neighbors and friend’s dogs, from yorkies to pit bulls. This includes both walks and visits to provide food, water, and fun. Caring for my own dog, Charlotte, in recent years has given me experience in caring for senior dogs. This includes accommodating for hearing loss, blindness, low energy, and stomach problems. I am a student at UF looking for a fun way to spend my free time. My current schedule somewhat flexible other than my classes. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I am free early mornings until 8:00 AM, around noon, and in the evenings. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available all morning until 11:30 and in the evenings after 5:00 PM. Weekends that are marked as available are flexible. This works around my classes schedule, volunteering, and other obligations. Safety is my number one priority when caring for your best friend(s). When walking dogs in Florida, I have found it extremely important to monitor the weather and your pets breathing. I will always ensure they have access to enough water and food at meal time. And if they’re allowed, I love giving them the occasional treat.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve sat for my friends and family’s pets for 2 years consistently. I have experience with reactive dogs and disabled dogs as well. I’m unemployed at the moment so I have a lot of flexibility to keep my clients happy. I am the only person with a car in my family but that won’t be an issue I’m committed to following the normal routine that your pet is accustomed to. I like taking walks and I’ll make sure your pet gets in some exercise while they are in my care

About: Loving & Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! 🐾 Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, and today I’m a proud pet parent to 6 dogs, 3 cats, and a variety of other amazing animals—including sugar gliders, turtles, fish, mice, snakes, and lizards. 🩷 I have cared for dogs of all ages—from fragile newborn puppies to seniors needing extra love and patience. I’m experienced in providing special care for older pets and am attentive to any unique needs or quirks they may have, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. With over 6 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, animal care specialist, and groomer, I bring both expertise and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, administering special care, or simply giving them extra affection, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently working off of my own schedule so I have a ton of flexibility! I can do same day appointments and adjustments if needed! When providing care in either my home or a client’s home, my priority is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any special instructions provided—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or unique care needs—so your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. I give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and if treats are allowed, I’m happy to use them as part of positive interactions. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, offering snuggles, companionship, and the highest level of care so they feel happy and secure while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs, and my love for animals has always been one of the few things I’ve been completely certain about. That passion led me into the veterinary field, where I’ve now worked for the past 3 years caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Through my experience in veterinary medicine and boarding facilities, I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once while still making sure each animal receives individual attention, patience, and compassion. I’m also trained in administering oral medications, injections, and other basic medical care when needed. Working closely with animals every day has taught me how important trust, routine, and gentle handling are for pets while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra attention, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I work weekdays 9am–5pm, but I prioritize pet care before and after work, ensuring pets receive attention, playtime, feeding, medications, and loving care. I’m also available on weekends. In my client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks or playtime, and administering any medications as instructed. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, affection, and calm companionship so pets feel safe while their owners are away. I keep the home clean, respect all instructions, and provide updates so owners have peace of mind.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have plenty of hands-on experience from caring for my own dog, who is about 100 pounds! Having a large dog has made me very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also trained her myself, so I have experience with basic commands, routines, leash walking, and being patient and consistent. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I’ll treat every pet I care for like they’re my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine, and I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m used to planning my day around my own dog’s needs, so caring for pets is already a normal part of my everyday life. I’m also flexible throughout the week and can work with different schedules depending on what you and your pet need! I always make safety and comfort my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll follow any instructions and routines the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific rules they have for their pet. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and are never put in an unsafe situation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll also be respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll always care for them like I would my own!

About: I have had dogs most of my life that I helped take care. I ended up getting my own dog when I moved. I have my own place and love to have dogs stay while their parents are away. I work at Shands in the emergency room but have enough space for a safe pen when I’m away. I have a small dog park in my complex that I take my dogs to in the evening. I have 2 dogs that are friendly and enjoy making new friends. I also keep dogs separate when I am not home. We like to go to the dog park in the evenings when it’s not so hot

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 16 years. I am most comfortable with cats and small or senior dogs, but have experience with all breeds and sizes. I have past experience volunteering with a vet clinic and working with community cats. I am comfortable and experienced caring for cats and dogs with injuries, illnesses, and age related health issues. I am able to administer medication orally. I feel very strongly about providing a clean and safe environment for your pet. I’ll always be sure to clean up any happy little accidents that may happen. Being away from our beloved animals is hard, but you can trust they are in good hands with me. Providing regular picture and video updates is my pleasure. Please never hesitate to tell me what I can do to help give you peace of mind and assure you that your pet is receiving the best care possible. I greatly look forward to meeting and working with you and your furry friends! I am currently self-employed so I have plenty of time to drop in for visits or do overnight stays. I’m available weekdays and weekends. M-F my day time availability does vary due to appointments, but my mornings from 7am-9am are always open and I have open availability from 5pm onwards. During a drop in visit I will provide your cat or dog with food, water, and any medications. If the visit does not require that, I check all food and water sources to make sure they clean and full. The litter boxes will be checked and cleaned. If there are any accidents or messes, I will clean them up. I provide affection and enrichment for your animals. I will play with them, groom them, and provide things like catnip and treats (with your approval, of course). If you’re worried about your pet getting bored or lonely between visits, I can turn on some Pet TV! During visits I like take pictures and videos and provide you with those, as well as text updates. I’m happy to base my communication off of your preferences. If you’d like a bit more privacy and quiet, we can discuss when it would be most appropriate to contact you. If you want daily updates that’s no problem at all! I provide all these services during overnight stays as well. If you have specific requests regarding care for your pet, I’m happy to adhere to them. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. From raising playful puppies to providing gentle, attentive senior care, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s journey. I’m confident in training, daily routines, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs to ensure comfort, consistency, and happiness. My goal is to offer dependable, loving care—treating every dog as if they were my own. I have two wonderful dogs of my own who receive my daily love and attention, but outside of their care, my schedule is flexible and open. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to giving your pets the same level of comfort and care I give my own. Whether it’s a quick bathroom break in the backyard or full house and pet sitting for multiple nights, I provide attentive, reliable care with professionalism and love. You can trust that every task will be completed thoughtfully, and that your pets will feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Archer on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 835 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Archer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Archer 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 Archer 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 Archer with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Archer. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
