“Deborah was incredibly amazing!!! Super sweet and attentive with great communication !! She went above and beyond taking care of my babies especially my Luna that had special meds to take! The attention to detail and all her efforts are very much appreciated!!! Definitely will rebook for the future!!”

“Samantha watched my girls while I was out of town. She did an excellent job. She kept me informed, was prompt to respond, and asked questions on anything she needed clarification on. She was especially good with my problem child, who is scared of new people. She was very patient with her and adjusted her feeding routine in response to her fears. She also went above and beyond as I had a package being delivered during the time I was gone. She handled the delivery and even brought the package up to the house. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Kim is so lovely and is my pups new best friend! I am so happy to have found her. Kim sent me lots of videos and pictures, which was much appreciated. I will not hesitate to use her again.”

About: My family had dogs for the majority of my life, and I was often the one tasked of taking care of them. I bathed, fed, took them to the vet, and walked them. They were all elderly dogs, so they have sadly passed away. Their names were Peanut, Waddlesworth, and Snickers. I’m currently a proud cat owner (or her servant, if you ask her) of Luna. I found her under my car when she was a kitten 3 years ago and she’s been with me since. Currently working a summer temp job at the University of Florida, but that will end at the start of September. My schedule is flexible outside of classes, which are for just over an hour a day Monday thru Thursday. I can cater my caretaking skills to your needs. Whether your dog needs walks every hour or twice a day, I can do it all.

“Mackenzie is very responsive, punctual, and thorough. He accepted my request for a sitter basically the day before, and I am so grateful for his flexibility. I can tell that our puppy was really comfortable in his care.”

“Emily is the best ever!! I was out of town for a week and she came every day to see my two cats and she did so much for me! She fed them, played with them and helped with the litter and washing their food bowls. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She texts back right away if you need her and she will give your pets tons of attention. She is awesome!!”

About: I am a vet assistant at the small animal hospital looking for a way to spend more time with animals of all shapes and sizes. My goal is to make sure that your fur babies have as little anxiety as possible while I am taking care of them while making sure they exercise and are entertained I work full time but can come walk or feed your fur child before and after work. However weekends I am completely free to spend however long you need me too with your animal. In a clients home I will treat your home like a fine art museum, my goal is that you will never know I was there.
“I am so grateful to have found Richard. He went above and beyond to care for my pup, Jow, who is very unwelcoming to strangers in the house, barking and growling at new people. Richard couldn’t have been more understanding and patient and gave Jow a chance when it would have been much easier to not take us on as clients. Jow is an older pup who takes several medications and has a very sensitive digestive system which can sometimes lead to accidents in the house. Richard tackled it all without complaint, cleaning up after him and even managing to hand feed him some of his treats by the end of his visits. He gave me detailed reports and photos of how Jow was doing while I was away, adding to my peace of mind. My and Jow’s experience was amazing and I highly recommend Richard for anyone looking for pet sitting services.”
“Raegan took great care of my two cats! My cats unexpectedly got into a bag of treats making a mess and Raegan cleaned it all up and gave us peace of mind while we were away from home. She even brought in a package for us which we really appreciate. Great communication throughout and we would definetly recommend!”

“Monica did a great job for us when we were on a short vacation. She spent lots of time with our 2 cats twice a day and sent us brief messages and photos regularly. She also indulged me with my declining Spanish ability!”
“Christina took great care of our 2 hound dogs, including our young puppy! She sent lots of photo updates and was very great at communicating. We have already booked her services again!”


About: Aloha, I'm Anna Lyra 😊 I've connected deeply with animals my whole life, and began caring for them around age 11. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have a great love for all creatures. Cats are my specialty, though my skills are also effective with dogs and all kinds of other animals. I am a Cat Whisperer with extensive knowledge and experience. My cats remain at optimal health due to my physical and energetic care of them. I practice Reiki (energy healing) that is very effective with animals. For now, I'm offering my Reiki treatments for free as I am new to Rover (with purchase of Day Visits, House Sitting, or Dog Walking). I also have experience with animal hospice care, during which the Reiki treatments are especially supportive. Here's a review of my care for a 21+ year old cat who was nearing the end of her life: "You have a gift, and Princess and I are blessed to be on the receiving end of your gift. Yes, you’re a kitty-sitter, and yes you helped with her urinating outside of the box, but what you’re offering is much much much deeper than that. I think you have a calling for this, well, I don’t “think” - I know you have a calling for this, and I am just so grateful that we found you and so grateful to be on the receiving end of your gift.” -Arthur, February 2026 So I've been doing animal care for a long time with shining 5 star reviews, I'm just new to Rover ✨ I'm self-employed with a flexible schedule. I can work with you to sculpt the ideal care that your pet(s) needs. Reach out to discuss possibilities! 🦮🐈🦜🐇🐠🐍🐎🐁🐐🐓🐄🦆🦎🐑🐖🫏 My pets and my client's pets are a top priority and I take it very seriously. My own cats benefit from the highest quality food, attention, and environment. I am highly attuned to their needs & emotions, providing gentle focused care with therapeutic touch & massage. While I specialize in Cat Whispering, my care for all animals goes above and beyond! I treat others as I want to be treated: with honesty, safety, and high quality care wrapped in positive & loving energy 💟
About: Hi thanks for considering me for the care of your tiny baby! I’ve been pet sitting full time in the Sarasota/Bradenton/Tampa area (I am now in Gainesville, FL) for over 4 years now but in that time I’ve met over a dozen new families! It feels crazy that I've made lifelong connections with something that was just supposed to be part time. (If you can’t tell I LOVE my job and enjoying connecting and caring for every new family.🥰 ) I took about a year off, only pet sitting for my regulars but now that I'm settled into Gainesville I'm opening my schedule for new clients! As much as I love cuddling and playing trust is everything and if you have an especially anxious pup or just mistrusting, I can give them the space they need and show them they can trust this new person in their house by taking things at their speed. I'm in no rush. Will work with your schedule. I’m great for last minute plans so you don’t have to worry about where your baby is going or if they’ll get enough loving while you’re away. :) I like to live an active lifestyle walking at the beach or finding a new trail. As far as a daily routine I like to adapt to whatever the dog or cat's schedule is but at the end of the night love ending up on the couch cuddling watching tv! I’m here to make sure your loved one feels loved while in your absence. For any questions or if you’d just like to get to know me a little more please feel free to message! Since I do this full time my schedule is according to my client's pretty simple. On my days off though I still like to keep a routine sleeping until my cat cries for wet food, stretching, and journaling every single morning. Throughout the week I do strength training and am taking an online bookkeeping class. Safety for me and you pet is always going to be number one over everything. If a dog or cat feels unsafe, things can only go down from there. The key is to give a fearful or uncomfortable pet SPACE and let them come to me.

About: I have taken care of several pets of family and friends over the last few years through house sitting and drop ins. Most pets I have encountered warm up to me quickly. I enjoy playing with the pets I meet and helping reinforce skills their pet parents have taught them. For this reason multiple family and friends have requested I petsit their pets repeatedly and I enjoy spending time with their furry loved ones each time! My schedule is flexible, so I can take care of your pets when most times. I am most available during the day between 7am -5pm. I am happy to take dogs on a walk during the day, and serve pets their meals. I can also play with them and provide them some company if they need it.
“When my dogs don’t know someone, they bark non-stop. However, Noah was very patient with Harry and Dobby and stayed in touch with me the whole time to keep me updated on them. Thank you so much!”


About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of love. What makes me special is my ability to handle puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, gentle, and know how to give pets extra care when needed. Taking care of pets is a big part of my life. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and loved. I am available on Tuesday, Wednesday and sometimes Saturdays and I can do short-term or long-term pet sitting based on your needs. I always keep pets in a safe, clean environment, whether in my home or theirs. I follow all safety rules and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure.
About: Highland Canine-certified Master Dog Trainer providing walks and drop-in visits with the same judgment, attention, and follow-through I bring to training. My background includes Highland Canine’s six-month Master Dog Trainer program and 960+ hands-on hours across obedience, behavior analysis, public access, service dog work, search and rescue, and more. That experience carries directly into pet care. I know how to read body language early, notice stress before it escalates, and adjust to the dog in front of me instead of handling every visit the same way. I’m comfortable with puppies, adolescents, adult dogs, seniors, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs that have made every walk feel harder than it should. I pay attention to routine, pace, safety, weather, hydration, energy level, and the small details that tell you how your dog is actually doing that day. Your dog is not just another stop on my schedule. They are someone’s whole world, and I treat them like it. You can expect real care, real photos, and a genuine update after every visit, because you should know more than the fact that I showed up. My goal is to get the visit right, not just get it done. My walks and drop-ins run alongside my training work, so I keep my availability intentional and limited enough to give each dog consistent handling and real attention. I’m typically available on weekday mornings and afternoons, with limited Saturday availability, and I do my best to keep pets on a steady routine whenever possible. I’m careful not to overbook, which means the dogs I take on get the same thoughtful care and follow-through each time I show up. I care for pets in their own home and follow their routine as closely as possible, because that is usually what helps them feel most settled. I pay attention to the details that matter: doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications, weather, water, and how your dog handles people, other dogs, and changes in the environment. I’m comfortable with dogs that need more thoughtful handling, and I take both your dog’s safety and your peace of mind seriously. After each visit, you’ll get a real update so you know how things went and can feel confident your dog was in good hands.
About: Ive been taking care of animals most of my life and have had many animal companions over the years. I have experience with both cats and dogs, as well as fish and some reptiles. I'm currently searching for a new job, and available to take care of your pets most days. Im flexible and can work within your schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure their daily needs are met, including feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship. I follow any specific instructions for health or behavior, and I keep the environment clean and safe. Regular updates and open communication with the pet owner are key to maintaining trust and ensuring the pet’s well-being.
“Emily was great with the dogs! She had no problem playing with them and they got along instantly. My great dane gets scared at times and she called me to let me know what happened whiched eased my mind so much. I'll definitely be using her again. She was wonderful. Gave pictures of the dogs playing and all!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
