About: I love all furry friends - I have a lovely cat, and I enjoy taking care of my friends’ puppies short or long terms. Taking them to long walks is my favorite part! I work on a flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekday mornings or afternoons. I’d be ou-of-town on some weekends so pls let me know what’s your schedule like if pup needs walks on weekends! I have leashes (non-retractable) for small and medium dogs. I’m confident keeping pups of these sizes safe from traffic / other animals all the time. It’ll definitely be a plus if your pup know some commands!
About: Hi, my name is Meghan! I have loved animals my entire life and have always been the person who stops to say hello to every dog, cat, and animal I meet (while always respecting their boundaries). My love for animals started as a child when I spent my school years reading every animal book I could find and watching every animal movie and documentary I could. That lifelong passion has grown into a career caring for pets and learning what makes each animal unique. I have over 4 years of professional animal care experience, beginning in dog daycare in 2022 and currently working as a Veterinary Assistant in an emergency veterinary setting. Through my experience, I have cared for dogs and cats of many ages, breeds, personalities, and needs from playful puppies and kittens to adult pets and senior companions. At home, I care for my own pets, including Thor, my 12 year old Chihuahua mix, Xena, my 8 year old Lab/Hound mix, and Sage, my 11 year old cat. Caring for my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, routine, understanding body language, and recognizing that every animal communicates differently. My experience includes: • Puppy, kitten, adult, and senior pet care • Medication administration (oral medications, eye drops, and injections) • Diabetic pet care and pets with medical needs • Understanding animal body language and stress signals • Providing enrichment, playtime, exercise, and individualized attention • Helping pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment I understand that pets are family, and leaving them with someone new can feel stressful. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Every pet has their own personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and comfort level. I take the time to learn what makes your pet happy and what helps them feel secure. You can expect clear communication, updates, and plenty of photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment, or simply relaxing in their favorite spot, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I am currently an online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. Whether I'm providing drop in visits, dog walks, or house sitting, I make it a priority to follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I always make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before every booking. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines carefully while respecting your home and your pet's space. With my professional experience in dog daycare and as a Veterinary Assistant, I understand animal body language and recognize signs of stress or discomfort. I use positive, patient handling and never force interactions, allowing pets to become comfortable at their own pace. You can also expect regular updates and plenty of photos throughout each visit or stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Ari is fantastic and took such good care of our kitties while we were away! Especially our senior kitty that needed a lot of daily pills. I really appreciated Ari’s thorough communication and picture updates. It was a great relief knowing our babies were well cared for!”
“Ilana was an amazing cat sitter to our two cats. One of them required medical attention unexpectedly and she was so supportive and communicated with us every step of the way. She went above and beyond, even gathering extra supplies as the cats needs changed. Our family was so grateful that we had such great cat care while we were traveling internationally.”
“Michelle was so wonderful to our fur babies while we were out of town for a long weekend. She listened to and followed all directions well and catered to the needs of all three of our babies who have very different personalities! It was such a relief to know that they were all being checkin in on with such care during our trip. Michelle sent many photos, videos, and detailed updates after each visit which was very much appreciated. We will 100% book Michelle again!”
“Truly one of the best pet sitters around. Sue cares for your animal is if they are her own. She is timely with updates and sends lots of photos. Would definitely contact Sue again to care for Kiwi!”
“Lauren is the best. My cat Luna hates being alone but Lauren was there for her on-time every day while I was in Italy. She kept in close contact with photos and chats and I never once worried about Luna. Will hire her again next time I'm away. Thanks Lauren!”
“Peaches, my little old Yorkie, took to Jess immediately and they enjoyed a nice walk in the neighborhood. I appreciated her promptness in arriving on time, and her photo that she took of Peaches. Highly recommend!”
“After having a ton of sitters, Olivia is by far the best! She gives such minute detail in her report, and not only fulfillls duties of feline daily living like giving food, water, and cleaning his litter, to the full extent that is requested, she also notices behavioral changes in our pets. I cant reccomend her any more than I do now! She is awesome. I had quite a complex situation to get into my building, and I had the further pressure of having to leave almost immediately, but Olivia was able to help through all that.”
“Jessica was great! Booked a drop-in with short notice. She was responsive, flexible, and showed a care and understanding for my pooch's well-being as well as any concerns I had”
About: I have been around dogs all of my life, once I was able to properly hold a leash there was no stopping me from hanging out with our 4-legged furry friends! I am a frequent dog walker for coworkers, friends, and family. I also have dog sat on multiple occasions for coworkers, friends, and family whenever they needed me. Most importantly I rescued a very active and very spoiled French Bulldog 6 years ago and he has made my love for dogs even stronger somehow! As much as I love dogs, I also love cats! I will make friends with any sort of animal if I am able to! I work a hybrid schedule for a corporate office. I am in the office on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, and I work from home the other 3 days. Monday, Thursday, Friday I take personal walks on my lunch break as well as after 5pm and would love for a furry friend to join me! Saturdays & Sundays I am open as well! Happy to walk your pup wherever in the neighborhood or area, we'd get out steps in! I have walked dogs in the past ranging from 15lbs, all the way up to 120lbs!
About: I am new to Rover, but I grew up with both cats and dogs and genuinely love both equally. As I’ve gotten older and needed pet sitters of my own, I appreciate the trust that goes into making sure your pet is taken care of while you’re not home. I recently made a career shift from medical device sales to pursuing veterinary medicine as this is something I’m passionate about. Your pets will get the same care and attention to detail that I give my own. I’m going back to school so I have a good amount of flexibility. I’m here to help make sure your pet stays on as close to a normal schedule as possible! I appreciate detailed instructions and the most important thing to me is making sure I give your pet exactly what you need me to give them. Need the food weighed and some meds administered? Got it. Need me to sprint around with them so they can burn some energy? No problem. Whatever you need from me, no matter how unique the request may be to you, I’ve got it.
“Stephanie was wonderful! Very responsive, friendly, and took a lot of great photos and videos of my cats while I was missing them on my trip. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I am a 28 year old dog lover who has had dogs my whole life! I have had multiple bichons as a kid and have spent a ton of time with a variety of family friends breeds! I have trained our dogs growing up with my family and spent a lot of time walking and keeping them busy throwing the ball around as my mom was a writer. I joined Rover to help save up for my September 2027 wedding and are hoping to help out some families with their pets while getting some exercise! Thanks so much for considering! I am an accountant who works 8-5. My break (when I would walk or drop in) is from 12-1. I would also do so before & after work. I have lots of experience with pets and am happy to safely care for your pet however you specify! We crate our pets at night, our yard is fenced in, ETC,
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I have owned dogs and cats, currently I have one deaf chihuahua, Dotty, and one senior chihuahua, Mickey. My two daughters will ensure that your pet gets plenty of attention. I work remotely from home so someone is always in the house at all times. Weekends vary depending on scheduled activities. I have two chihuahuas so care is always there. I have a fenced in yard, and a water cooler for pets to drink from. There is always plenty of water, toys, and we live nearby Rock Creek Park so there is ample opportunities for walks and hikes. I can check on your dog or you can leave the dog at my home.
About: I’m not just a dog lover—I’m a proud dog mom of 9 years! I know how much your pup means to you because I feel the same way about mine. I bring the same care, attention, and love to every walk and drop-in as I do with my own dog, Dobby. I currently have a hybrid work schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays. So Mondays and Fridays are pretty open. Tuesdays and Thursdays I would be available after 6pm so please feel free to message me if interested. Weekends I am available! When I drop in to care for your pet, I treat your home and your furry friend with the same respect and love I give my own. I always follow your care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or medication. I keep things calm and comforting for your pup, so they feel safe and happy.
About: Plenty of experience with all types of pets! I have been around dogs and cats all of my life and I currently own an AMAZING corgi named Macy. I am very comfortable around all dogs whether they are small or large. I love dogs and will definitely take wayyyy too many pictures of your fur babies. Your pets are your children and I am more than equipped to meet their needs. I lived with 4 dogs before so I’m very used to watching more than 1. Keeping your pets happy is my priority!!! I typically work 8-5pm at Texas a&m and I’m free outside of that! Depending on how close you were I could potentially let the dogs out at lunch. Your pets typically feel most comfortable in their own environment so while I can’t keep them at my house with my current housing restrictions I am more than willing to house sit so that they can feel at ease while you are away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Auburndale
Lauren was amazing, she did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats, she came every day followed directions and sent us detailed reports on how they were doing with lots of pictures. Our cats were thriving and it was a great comfort to know they were in such good hands. We were having some work done in our bathroom while we were away and Lauren was really adaptable with the times she came over. She went above and beyond doing extras like bringing in our mail and feeding our fish. I will be hiring Lauren again next time we go away for sure!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auburndale. On Rover:

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.
