About: I am almost done with my CVA, which has given me hands-on experience with animal care and a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to recognize when a pet may be stressed, uncomfortable, or need extra attention. I’m very attentive to routines like feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care instructions you have for your pet. I also volunteered at a horse rescue for 6 years, which has helped me become even more patient and comfortable working with animals that all have different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and extra energy or an older pet who needs a gentler approach, I’m confident in providing calm, dependable care and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I currently attend CVA school Monday through Thursday from 8–12, and because it’s a veterinary program, I’m able to bring new animals with me every day if that’s something an owner is comfortable with. This allows me to spend even more time with your pet and keep them with me throughout the day. Outside of school, I’m available the rest of the day and can realistically spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I also care for my own animals every day, including my dogs, cat, and reptiles—a snake, bearded dragon, turtle, and leopard gecko—so feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, cleaning cages, and keeping their spaces clean are all part of my normal routine. My entire day is basically centered around animals between school and caring for my own pets, so pet sitting fits very naturally into my life. I care for pets with a lot of attention, and fun! I usually feed my pets at the same time every day and follow a schedule, but I keep it flexible so it works for each pet’s needs. I give dry food and simple medications like NexGard but, I also have experience handling special diets and other medications.     Playtime happens whenever pets seem bored or want to go outside. I have lots of toys, treats, and fun activities inside, and I enjoy running with dogs outside or taking them on car rides. I also do some basic training for fun, though I’m not a professional trainer.   I keep spaces clean and comfortable, cages and tanks are cleaned regularly, puppy pads are replaced, and everything is wiped down with disinfectant as needed. Pets have their own quiet areas, toys, and treats to feel calm and safe. I’m very observant of their behavior, so I can notice when something feels off.    Pets aren’t left alone for long, except when I’m at school for a few hours. I’m used to managing multiple pets at once by keeping a close eye on everyone and giving each animal their own space when needed. My home is very clean, and I constantly sweep, mop, and vacuum.    Overall, I make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, and I treat them as part of my family giving lots of love, attention, and care every day.

About: I have owned dogs from a pure bred German shepherd to a Pomeranian. I have dog sat St. Bernard’s to French bull dogs. I love and work with all types of animals :) I am currently only working Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have a lot of free time to hangout and walk dogs :) I am a full time student but it’s online classes. I love playing and petting dogs and I love spoiling them too. I also understand Florida is hot and will make an effort to cool your dogs down with either ice water or finding grassy areas to go on walks.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than 7 years now. Whether it is my own dog or my sister’s two dogs when she is away on business. I’m currently working as a veterinary assistant at a emergency clinic. I always have the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for your furry family members. I enjoy helping pet owners who need support and look forward to meeting new pets with their unique personalities along the way! I treat every pet like they’re my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether I’m visiting a client’s home or walking a dog in the neighborhood, I focus on creating a safe and calm environment. I follow all instructions given by the pet parent, keep water bowls filled, ensure leashes and harnesses are secure, and always keep a close eye on the pet’s behavior. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

Maryana was fantastic. Not only did she follow instructions provided for our cats, but she was attentive and not afraid to go above and beyond. This included her bringing new treats for the cats to try and letting us know if anything out of the norm occurred. We will 100% be booking her again!

About: I myself am a pet owner to a sweet dog that does unfortunately have issues with fear aggression when meeting new people. Which is why I'm willing to meet any animal to see if things can work out. I'm not easily scared by dogs and I understand how hard it can be to find someone that is willing to meet my sweet boy. He is also a notorious leash puller so I'm comfortable with any kind of set up you have for potty breaks (he uses a head harness). I'm not here to judge your pet I'm here to make sure they are well taken care of. I'm also very comfortable with making sure they keep up with their training (I can firmly give them commands) while also making sure they get the love that they need. I work for the school board so my summer is super open right now, I might take a few vacations but my schedule will always reflect my availability as soon as I know it. I will always communicate the behavior I see in animals and keep pet parents well updated. If a pet parent needs me to crate their pet after a visit or a walk I'm comfortable with doing so and I even have tricks to do so!

As a fellow pet parent, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else with your furry family member. That’s why I can’t recommend Jessica enough. One of the things that stands out to me about Jessica is her genuine love for animals. She doesn’t just “watch” pets—she takes the time to understand their personalities, routines, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated with patience, kindness, and so much love. One thing I think every pet parent looks for is someone they can trust, and Jessica is exactly that person. She’s dependable, responsible, communicative, and truly treats every pet as if they were her own. Knowing your pet is with someone who genuinely cares brings a level of peace of mind that’s hard to put a price on. If you’re looking for someone who will provide updates, pay attention to the little details, and make your pet feel loved while you’re away, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica. Your fur baby will be in amazing hands.

About: I understand that some pets can be shy or anxious, and I pride myself on being a patient and gentle caretaker who can help them feel comfortable and secure. I have a lot of experience with a variety of animals, and I know how to read body language to ensure a pet is happy and calm. I can provide drop-in visits in your own home, ensuring your pet remains in their familiar surroundings. I use to be a volunteer with a no-kill animal shelter so I am prepared for your pet's unique needs." I am currently working part time and have some downtime on my hands and I would love spending time with and taking care of your fur babies! I do have a home with a yard but it is not fenced so I’m not comfortable with keeping animals at my house at this time.

Mary was very good with our two kitties that she had never even met before and she took this job very last minute. She was extremely thorough with letting me know exactly what was happening and made me feel completely at ease even though we have never met in person and she had never met the cats. I definitely recommend her if you want to feel like your pets are taken care of and you don't have to worry! Very caring and kind and you can tell she really cares about the animals she's taking care of.

Sheryl was truly amazing! From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, compassionate, and incredibly accommodating. I reached out with a last-minute request to care for my dog, Cathy, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything would go smoothly. Before my trip, Sheryl took the time to come for a meet-and-greet so Cathy could get to know her and feel comfortable. That meant so much to me. Cathy connected with her immediately, she was happy, playful, and completely at ease. Seeing how quickly my dog trusted Sheryl gave me so much peace of mind. Throughout my trip, Sheryl was exceptional. She was always on time, followed Cathy’s strict schedule perfectly, and after every visit she sent detailed updates and adorable photos. Those updates reassured me every single day and allowed me to relax knowing Cathy was safe, happy, and receiving so much love and attention. Sheryl’s genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. She has such a warm, positive, and caring personality, and it was obvious that she treated Cathy as if she were her own. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, and I am so grateful I found her. I wholeheartedly recommend Sheryl to anyone looking for a dependable, trustworthy, and truly compassionate pet sitter. She exceeded every expectation, and I will absolutely be asking her to care for Cathy again in the future!

We had a great experience with our sitter! She took wonderful care of our dog, Remi, and kept us updated throughout each visit. It was clear she made an effort to make him feel comfortable and gave him attention, not just the basics. Remi can be a bit particular, but he seemed happy and relaxed after each visit, which says a lot! The communication was great, and I appreciated how easy everything felt, on time, professional, and caring. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and trustworthy to care for their pup. Thanks again for taking such good care of Remi!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Auburndale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Auburndale on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,002 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Auburndale. 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 Auburndale 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 Auburndale 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 Auburndale 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 Auburndale. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
