About: I have had my own dogs and cats my whole life and currently have one dog and one cat. I worked at an animal shelter through high school with all kinds of dogs and cats and am comfortable with pretty much anything they can throw at me. Sometimes accidents happen and it’s ok and sometimes they get scared when new people are around which is totally understandable. I’m very comfortable being patient with any animal who needs a little extra love and understanding. I am currently a full time student and usually my day is pretty open on any day I don’t have class and in between my classes. I have two pets of my own who I get up early to take care of before class and always make sure I’m home to take care of after class. Weekends that I’m not visiting family are usually completely free as well. In a client’s home, the most important thing for any nervous pet will be respecting boundaries. I have a nervous girl dog and girl cat so I totally understand when they are a little hesitant to new people. But if they are sociable and want plenty of love I can absolutely give that too. I am very good at reading their body language and actions to determine what they want or need in the moment and will absolutely respect that their space if they want that.
“We had a fantastic experience with Kat watching our two dogs for four days. She visited three times a day, making sure our dogs were well-fed, had fresh water, and got regular potty breaks. Beyond just the basics, she went above and beyond—taking time to play with them, give them love, and make them feel comfortable and safe, which is no small task with our sensitive pups. She also cleaned up a few messes without hesitation and kept in touch with us during every visit, sending updates, pictures, and texts that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was always on time and extremely reliable. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals, and our dogs felt that too. We couldn’t be happier with her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter.”

“Amber is an angel sent from heaven. She was so excellent with my cats and went above and beyond every step of the way. My biggest nightmare came true, and my cat had an unexpected medical issue while I was away - Amber truly stepped up, and I don't know what I would have done without her. I would recommend her to everyone; she is one of a kind!”


“She did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy during the drop in visits. She was attentive, followed all instructions and made sure my puppy was safe and well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend again”

“While our doggos stayed with Miranda while we traveled, we also had her pop in each day to check on our Coal Kitty. The videos and pics sent showed he was SO happy to have company, and made his day. Thanks for the care!”

“Em was a life saver! I contacted her last minute to help care for our three fur babies while my partner was away visiting family because my back injury flared right in the middle of his trip. Em came over three times a day, helped me give medicine to our elderly cat, handled the special feeding requirements, gave fresh water and scooped all the pans every visit, swept and vacuumed the litter from around the boxes; all the things! She was so gracious about cleaning up after our elderly cat’s litter box accidents. Above and beyond! I highly recommend Em for any pet needs you might have. I will 100% rebook if I’m in need again. Thank you Em!!”


About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.
“Rachel is a life saver. We recently moved to Ocala and were in need of a dog sitter. She was fast to respond. Rachel took great care of our baby & sent a picture to let me know how she was doing. Brownie was very happy when we got home & she was in a great demeanor & not stressed in the least. We will definitely use Rachel’s services in the future. Thank you again so much !”

“I have used Madison on multiple occasions for both drop in visits with my cats and dog walking. She is always communicative and punctual. I really appreciate the peace of mind I have when traveling knowing I have Madison checking on my babies.”
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.
“Jessie was flexible, pleasant and honestly just such a joy to have watching over my pup! You can tell when people genuinely care about pups and Jessie and Finny got along immediately. She sent me great updates with plenty of pics, and when I got home my little man was happy. I'd recommend her 100%!”

“Hannah did an awesome job caring for my dog! She has a fun personality, and is a great match for the energy of my dog. Hannah was great with communicating and sharing plenty of pictures. She is reliable and professional. I'll definitely hire her again! Highly recommend!”

“Kat did an excellent job caring for our dog when we were away for the day! She came by twice to take our dog out and to feed him dinner. Will definitely be contacting her again when we need assistance!”

“Victoria did a great job taking care of our two cats. She reliably texted me whenever questions arose, and the overall communication, as well as the actual sitting went as smooth as can be. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to know their pets in good hand!”

About: I've taken care of family and friends pets of all kinds and sizes. No animal is too tricky for me, I love a pet that is just as unique as their mom or dad! I'm currently available Monday-Friday with occasional weekends. I am in between jobs so my schedule can fit your needs! I even don't mind hanging out with your fur baby more than once a day if needed. I have a fully fenced in acre of land and a brand new car that is reliable for any pick up needs. I also have multiple pet beds and toys at my house if any time there is requested. We lost our fur baby in January so my house may still have her scent in spots. I've lived in Gainesville for 6 years, but have known the roads of Gainesville for 12, so I am very comfortable with the town and know the best walking spots!
About: I have trained my dog since puppyhood have 3+ years of trusted pet sitting, and my experience caring for my elderly grandfather has taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion skills I bring to every pet I care for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and have a flexible job schedule. I am organized to meet each dogs needs while making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. At my home, pets get a safe, cozy space and lot of attention according to the owners requirements.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
