“Elizabeth is a peace-of-mind sitter! I’m able to travel or be away from my kitties + home without ever worrying. Her photo updates make my whole day. 😂 Excited to continue booking with such a reliable and kind person!”
“Shawnee took amazing care of our kitties while we were gone. She took the time to play with them and kept us informed about how everyone was, including the scared ones who wouldn’t come out to see her. Shawnee is a great communicator and clearly loves animals. Will absolutely use her services again when needed.”
“Aubrey is simply the best! We’ve used her multiple times and she handles everything with ease. She is a true animal whisperer and she is also dependable, responsible, and reliable. She makes it so we can travel worry-free knowing she’s got it under control. Truly can’t recommend her enough!!”
“April is amazing. We had to extend our stay and our original sitter couldn’t do it another day. We immediately asked April if she could help us out and she did. She has continued to do an amazing job and I would recommend her to everyone I know.”
“We are so thankful that we have Sheryl watching our sweet pups! She was very friendly from our first meeting and put our minds at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was attentive, on-time, took great care of our pups and made sure to leave a detailed update during her drop-in.”
“Bonnie was the first pet sitter we have ever had for our cat Gracie and bird Merrie. She was wonderful!. We felt confident the whole time we were gone that they were well taken care of. We will definitely ask her to take care of them again. Thanks Bonnie.”
“Samara is just awesome with Little Kitty! She is dependable. Always updates me promptly with any changes or asks for clarification about anything unclear. Little Kitty adores her and is always happy to see her!🥹”
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 taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I currently own 5 of my own. My dogs are my world. My vet experience make sure I can provide as much help as possible in time of need as well as love them like my own. I have taken care of bottle babies, special needs babies, I have helped in training several puppies on potty training, sitting, laying down, paw, recall, leash training, ect. My oldest dog is 18 so I am also experienced in taking care of seniors. I was trained to preform CPR, injections, blood draws, x rays, ekg, and to check RR, HR, and Pulse. I am currently continuing my education while being a stay at home mom to two teenage boys. I have the time and would love to just grow in experience. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats of my own, as well as goats, chickens, turkeys and a pig. I am a true animal lover at heart. I know the rules you have in place are there for a reason and I will follow your rules to the T. I know every house has rules that work for them and I am here to make sure they are followed.
“Hailey was so great with our pups. When we did our meet and greet they fell in love with her! She came for the drop in visits twice a day and they were so excited to see her when they came.”
“Kristina is amazing! We know Katie is well taken care of while we are away! Kristina goes above and beyond to ensure that our sweet dog is happy! I would recommend Kristina to anyone!”
“Thank you, Michelle, for giving our Mr Kitty a daily spa treatment of brushing, massage and treats while we were enjoying our cruise. Pet sitters such as yourself are unsung heros for providing comfort for both pets and their humans. Your services are much appreciated.”
“Ok…..so this was my first time using rover , in fact first time using someone else other then family. Of course I was nervous and a little anxious about someone I didn’t know coming in to my house while I was away on vacation. I book Ashley D for drop ins 3xs a day for 4 days ans she exceeded my expectations!!!! She and her husband treated both my fur babies like they were there own. Kept me updated on a regular basis and went above and beyond. My Chihuahua was even sitting on her lab and eating snakes from her hand by the end , (she is the type of dog that is very stand offish and likes to bark at you). I couldn’t be more satisfied with our everything went , I will definitely book Ashley again and again. Lola and sweetie really enjoyed her company !!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Auburndale
Shawnee is beyond amazing. Our girls love her and she takes the time to make sure that each one of them are cared for and loved on. It’s hard to leave our pets but it would be impossible to do so without knowing Shawnee was going to be there are their sitter. She is perfection and we can’t imagine anyone else taking care of our girls!
What a great experience with Rover !! 😍 Aubrey is the Best ! Friendly professional and very accountable ❤️She came to our home for a meet and greet and I immediately knew our “Jack” was in good and loving care in our absence! Communication could not have been better ! Five stars !! Will definitely use her and Rover again !
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!

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.
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.

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.
