About: From a young age I have cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. This includes, but is not limited to: Lizards, Small birds, and Large parrots. I have a deep passion for animal care and if given the opportunity I will deliver excellent care to your pet! I have cared for young pups and senior pups! In addition to caring for my pets at home, I have 25 hours of service at my hometown dog shelter. My duties included cleaning kennels, refilling water and food, and administering oral medications. My exotic pet care is on par with my dog and cat care, please reach out if you’re interested in exotics pet care, as rover does not have an option for that. Currently I am a college freshman. I am available on weekends anytime. I am also available Thursdays anytime. Tuesdays I am available 9:00 am - 11:00 am, 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Fridays I am available after 10:00 am. I have a one year old lab right now, when I am back home with her I take her on walks 2 times a day, plus backyard play time 2 times a day. She is on medications making me capable of administering medications. I also have a 8 year old cockatoo, I also take her on leashed walks, give her outside time, engage in enrichment sessions, and also have administered medications to her before.

About: I've owned and taken care of pets of all kinds for 50 years. I'm easy going and will love your babies as my own. I have 2 sons, 4 grandkids, 2 dogs, and 1 parrot! I'm currently a retired, trustworthy grandma with wide availability. I like to stay busy, so I've been house and pet sitting through word of mouth for friends and family for years. I love animals so this has been a great fit for my post-retirement (42years) from the Hillsborough county school system. I am available on short notice 7 days a week. I'm happy to help keep your fur babies routine and make them as comfortable and safe as possible. I'm comfortable giving medication, walks, and plenty of play time.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. My family had a farm where we raised pigs and cows, and growing up my grandma had 21 indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve also grown up with dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals throughout my life. My family currently has both a pug and a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable around dogs of all sizes. I currently have two cats of my own, and one has epilepsy, so I’m also comfortable giving medication and following specific care routines. I understand how important consistency and attention can be when a pet has additional needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ll treat every pet I care for like one of my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, medication, and plenty of attention. I like to meet pets beforehand whenever possible so they can get comfortable with me and I can learn their routine, personality, and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also comfortable giving medication and caring for pets with special needs.
About: I’ve taken care of 5 dogs of different ages and every single one of them is healthy. And my costumers are always satisfied to know. I am currently not working right now. I walk a couple times a days. And I like to cook for myself & others almost everyday. I am always vigilant when I’m left in charge for several hours or days. Always makes sure everyone is safe ,happy, and full of energy.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have cared for dogs and cats for more than 20 years. My wife and I currently have three cats, and I’ve also had dogs throughout my life. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, including administering oral and injected medications. Whether your pet needs an active walk, a consistent routine, medication, playtime, or simply some extra attention and companionship, I take the responsibility seriously and treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own. I work remotely in a role with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate most pet-care requests with sufficient advance notice. I’m generally available most days and can often be flexible with timing, although I may occasionally have a work commitment that I need to work around. If I’m unavailable for a particular request, I’m also happy to refer you to my wife, who is an experienced Rover sitter and may be able to help. While I don’t host pets in my home, I’m very attentive when caring for pets in their own homes. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and household rules. Before walks, I make sure collars and harnesses are properly secured, and I always pay attention to your pet’s behavior and surroundings. I respect your home and your pet’s space, and my goal is to provide dependable, safe, and stress-free care while you’re away.

About: I have been pet sitting on-and-off since I was 11 years old and have experience volunteering for veterinary offices and exotic animal rescues. I have a regular schedule with set hours and work not far from my home. I would be able to perform these services before work, mid-day (lunch breaks), and after work I am wide-open to help your pets feel comfortable and loved. We are a home to a loveable Cockapoo who enjoys the safety of our fenced-in yard and has access to all but one room.
About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brandon
Toneshea always goes above & beyond to care for both our baby & our home. We always feel comfortable leaving our Doodle with her & have peace of mind that we will come home to a clean home & a healthy pup. This trip, our girl was struggling with the thunder storms & Toneshea tried to walk her three different times during her one drop in visit & stayed an hour instead of 30min each visit because of it. We are so thankful for her!
This was our first time ever using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog, than Lauren. Her communication with us was amazing. She was very thorough and detailed. We loved all the pictures that she shared with us (you could tell Zeppy was in great hands). We would highly recommend Lauren and would definitely use her again in the future if needed. Thank you again Lauren for taking such great care of our fur baby.
My very sensitive dog was so sad at the kennel. So we did the drop in visits. Jen visited him 3 times per day, including walking him once per day, gave him daily medication, fed him and cleaned his bowls. The house was tidy, mail picked up, trash cans brought up. It was above and beyond what I expected. I can not recommend the drop in visits highly enough. For him, I think it was seamless. He was his normal self when I returned. And it was comforting to see his “report card” every visit. Jen is amazing!!
Kylee is so great with our Malamutes and does a fantastic job with letting us know when something might be wrong! She’s consistently dropped in for us for several weeks now and has been heaven sent as we get in a groove with our new jobs after moving in the area. She’s also been so patient with a few last minute requests due to chaotic work schedules. She’s kind of the best there ever was!!!!! 🫶
Alexis is absolutely amazing! Our pups had a tummy trouble during our trip, and she handled everything with so much care, patience, and attention. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-loved pups, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided.
Mikayla was awesome. She was very thoughtful, asked questions, and made sure I had some cute pictures of my fur babies. It was a short notice trip. Mikayla was prompt, spent quality time with my dogs, made sure they were comfortable and taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone. She took care of 4 different dogs while I was gone, without any problems

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.
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 Brandon 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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
