“Cristina made sure our babies received the attention, care and medications they needed while we were out of town. We appreciated her consistency and regular communication, and that the cats were quickly very comfortable with her!”
“Jonell does a great job keeping us informed while we’re away as to what’s happening with our cats. She tried to keep the kids entertained but respected their boundaries when they weren’t feeling social.”
“Shailyn did a fabulous job of communicating with twice daily texts, including photos, assuring me that my two kitty boys are being well taken care of! My condo and fur babies were in excellent condition upon my return – would definitely recommend!”
About: I have a lot of experience with multiple different styles of animals. I have a small hobby farm with chicken, ducks and goats, bees and turkeys and of course my dog. I amexperience with giving medication. I love to give each individual animal attention and make them feel special. My mother was a dog breeder and dog trainer and groomer here in Pinellas County. My samoyed(Ryleigh) is a certified therapy dog. I am also cpr and first aid certified for dogs and cats by American Red Cross I can not do overnights in your home but normally let you animal out between 10-11pm and then back in the morning around 7 am I currently work occasionally on large scale events. I am here in the Saint Pete area most of the year and I'm free most of the time. Currently, I have a hobby farm with chickens, ducks, and goats, bees, and turkeys and dogs. Each agenda has unique and individual needs which I cater to.
About: I have been a dog lover since I was little. My family had a sweet Shepherd-Boxer mix who sadly passed away within the last year, so I know how much our pets truly mean to us. I’ve also had the opportunity to dog sit for many different families over the years. Whether your pup is energetic and loves long walks and playtime or is more laid-back and wants to relax and cuddle, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of their routines, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own! I recently left the corporate world and am transitioning into part-time work, so I currently have a very flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of availability to spend time with your pets and accommodate walks, drop-ins, and other care needs throughout the week. I’m able to work around your pet’s schedule and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship to best fit your needs! Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely, be mindful of doors, gates, and other safety considerations, and give your pet plenty of attention and care. I’ll also treat your home with respect and leave it just as I found it. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pets and belongings are well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages, not to mention I have experience with reptiles, amphibians, and fish. I’m available at most hours of the day to provide regular walking, feeding, or even playing with your pets. I’m currently enrolled part time in community college, so I’ll have a lot time available to take care of any pets. Any time from 7:00 AM to 10:00PM will work for me. In areas close to me, I can easily check in at least twice a day. I’m also open to staying overnight if there’s a pet that can’t be left alone for long periods.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old — walking, feeding, giving meds, brushing, and of course, plenty of playtime and cuddles! I have a 12-year-old husky of my own and love dogs of all sizes and personalities (the bigger the better!). I work in healthcare and specialize in behavior therapy, which helps me read your dog’s body language and make them feel calm, comfortable, and right at home. Since I work from home, your pup will get tons of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. I'm self-employed, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule so I can build visits around your pet's routine instead of squeezing them into a rigid 9-5. Whether it's an early morning walk, a late evening drop-in, or something last-minute, I can usually make it work. Your dog gets someone who shows up on time and isn't rushing off somewhere else! Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first! I only provide care in the client's home — house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walks. I don't offer sitting at my own place at this time. I'm a professional behavior analyst by trade, so I bring a level of comfort and skill with dogs that goes beyond typical pet care. I'm highly experienced and confident handling dogs with any temperament — anxious, reactive, high-energy, or just plain stubborn. In your home, I follow your routines exactly: feeding schedules, medication, potty habits, and any specific behavioral protocols you use. I'm observant of body language and stress signals, and I adjust my approach dog by dog rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Your home and pet's routine stay exactly as you left them! For walks, I’m an experienced handler — I’ve walked up to four 80+ lb huskies at once, so no size or strength limits here.
About: Hello fellow pet lovers and owners! I love animals and I am so happy to host your furry family member. Whether your dog needs fed, walked, run, played with, or watched, I’m there. I’m here to provide a loving and supportive environment for your pet so they are in a stress free environment & well cared for. I only work part-time so I’m at home a lot and my schedule is flexible. I’m active too, so if you’re looking for your dog to be able to run, go to the dog park or just for a long walk, I’m available. I’m looking forward to seeing you & your furry family member soon! Please let me know if you have any questions or need more information. -Alyssa

“Sydney took fabulous care of my girl Louis while I was out of town. She gave regular updates and sent lots of pics, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. 10/10 would recommend/rebook”

About: I honestly just love animals! I’ve had all types of dogs growing up, from yellow labs, doodles, and even shitzu’s. Although I never had cats growing up, I love them equally as much. I will make sure your fur baby is treated with so much love and care! My schedule is very flexible, I am currently getting my masters online at USF for social work so I have a lot of free time! I create a safe, loving environment for every pet. Your pet will be my only guest, no other animals, so they get my undivided attention, supervised play, and a calm, comfortable space to roam around. For peace of mind, I also have pet insurance!
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so I know all the responsibilities that come with having a pet! I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a year. I’m very comfortable with puppies or kittens and giving oral medication! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I have 2 pets. I will make sure your pet gets the same level of care and attention I give my own! I’m not enrolled in any classes this semester so my schedule is usually open! I will take care of your pet as if it were my own, which means getting the best care! I will respect the house rules, and you can expect the home to look the same if not better once you return home.
“Brianna was absolutely amazing!! She took the best care of my girl and sent daily pics / updates that I really appreciated. I would 10/10 recommend her to care for your pets :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Pines
Hilary is AMAZING! 😍😍 We are anxious cat Moms because we are home with our 3 cats most days. We were looking for someone who is great at communication, loves animals, and someone we vibe with. Hilary met and exceeded those on our first meet up, our cats were instantly comfortable. The first cat sitting visit went so well. Hilary sent pictures upon arriving, more of our kitties during the visit, and a message when she left. We could not be happier with Hilary. Our kitties are excited for their next hang out with her.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bay Pines is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
