“Alyssa is great. My pets take to her very well. She really engages and interacts with my fur babies and ensures she’s mindful to accommodate any requested needs for either of my cats. She’s punctual reliable and communicates well. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with her!”
About: I have been a pet parent for many years and understand that every pet is unique. I currently share my home with two Huskies and four cats ranging in age from 3 to 20 years old, giving me experience caring for pets at every stage of life. One of my greatest joys has been caring for senior pets and learning their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I understand that older pets often require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also have experience with energetic dogs, independent cats, and the many different personalities that make our pets so special. I treat every animal as an individual and will provide the same loving, dependable care that I would want for my own pets. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. I am able to offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting while making sure each pet receives individual attention and care. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine and taking the time to provide more than just the basics—making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets is a big responsibility, and I will treat both your pets and your home with respect. During visits, I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routines, provide meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, litter box care, and any needed medications. I will pay attention to your pet’s behavior and communicate with you through updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I believe pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same patience, kindness, and attention I give my own.
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, and smaller breeds. I’m comfortable with both energetic dogs and those who prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes them feel safe and happy. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for turtles and am happy to look after other small pets, including fish, birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs during drop-in visits. I understand that each pet has unique routines, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions to ensure they receive the same loving care they’re used to at home. As a former elementary school teacher, I’m dependable, patient, observant, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat your pets with kindness and respect, communicate regularly, and send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I enjoy building consistent routines with pets and can often accommodate weekday, weekend, and even last-minute requests. My goal is to provide dependable care so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and provide the same loving care they’re used to receiving. During each visit or walk, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection based on their individual personality and needs. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or appetite and will communicate with you right away if I notice anything concerning. I’ll also send updates and photos after each visit so you can feel connected and have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you return.
“Jen is the best. On time, detailed, follows instructions perfectly, excellent communication, great photos each time. She always goes above and beyond at every visit, doing the little things that show she really cares. I am very comfortable having her in my home when I am not there. Perhaps the best compliment I could give her is that She takes care of my kitty just as I would do. I'm so thankful that I found her!”
“Patrick is a wonderful person sitter! From first communication, he was prompt in his response(s) and attentive to our family’s pet’s individual needs. He recommended a meet and greet to make future visits comfortable for our pets - and us! He sent detailed visit cards and photos for every visit, and it was clear that our German Shepherds were well-cared for in our absence. We highly recommend Patrick as an experienced, caring pet sitter!”
“Jordan was amazing!! We have an extremely sweet dog who is dog reactive and Jordan handled her like a pro. Was constantly providing updates and we felt stress free knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend Jordan!”
“Rico is an absolutely fantastic! He took great care of my dog, Hayley, and was incredibly attentive throughout their time together. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos he sent—they gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well looked after. Hayley adored him, and it’s clear he genuinely loves what he does. I highly recommend Rico to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker! 🐾”
“I could not have wished for a better person to take care of my Sasha . AJ was punctual and consistent . He gave me the blow by blow details of each visit with my girl . I was out of the country and knowing AJ was taking care of Sasha gave me piece of mind . Sasha loved him from their first visit ! I won’t hesitate to take another trip thanks to AJ. He is stuck with us lol”
“Annaliese did a wonderful job checking in on my baby. Even though I was on a cruise and unable to respond she sent pictures and updates each day. She did a great job!”
About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I would love to walk and love on your fur babies while you’re away! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I love walking in and seeing the smiles when they know they get to go for a walk! I’m a local PreK teacher so my schedule is usually free after 3:30 on weekdays, but my weekends are usually wide open! Growing up I always had animals in my house so I’m very comfortable with messes they make or medicine they need, so if your babies need that too I’d be more than happy to help! If you’re looking for someone to have your pets feel comfortable and happy all day, even while you’re away, I’d love to be that person! I'm currently a PreK teacher at a local elementary school, so my weekdays are open starting around 3:30 pm! On the weekends, I usually hang out at home or around town, so my schedule is pretty flexible! In your home, I promise to follow whatever makes your pets the most comfortable! Whether your dogs like to lounge on the couch or feel more content in a crate, I'll do whatever you'd like!
“Marisa is the absolute best. I’ve never been happier with a sitter. She is so good with my very anxious dog who takes awhile to warm up and my kitties all love her too! She went above and beyond. Even accepted a last minute drop in request because our flight was delayed. Highly recommend! I hope she’s available every time I need a sitter. Thanks SO much, Marisa!!”
“Camron did a great job with reoccurring visits to take care of my cat while I was on vacation. I always knew when she arrived and she always took plenty of photos to show what she had done and so I could see my cat. She even brought in my mail for me and swept up the cat litter off the floor. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Samantha took great care of Sheba. Was on time and provided details of what was going on. She was even able to extend the time I needed her on a last minute notice. I will definitely use her to take care of Sheba and would highly recommend her to others”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with my cats while I was away for five days. She kept me updated with sweet photos and thoughtful messages. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

Alyssa is great. My pets take to her very well. She really engages and interacts with my fur babies and ensures she’s mindful to accommodate any requested needs for either of my cats. She’s punctual reliable and communicates well. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with her!
Meghan was absolutely wonderful with Livy. Before her scheduled visits, she took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet and carefully learn Livy's routine. She really went above and beyond to make sure she understood Livy's needs and that everything would be as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, Livy decided she wasn't particularly interested in making a new friend—we recently moved and she is out of character. Meghan handled it with so much patience, kindness, and good humor. She even joked that Livy reminded her of Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada, which honestly couldn't have been more accurate and gave us all a good laugh. Regardless of Livy's icy demeanor Meghan knows that she has modeled for brands so she made us a photo of Livy on a magazine cover!!! It was included with the most beautiful thank you note; please do not thank me; THANK YOU for everything that you did! Throughout the entire experience, Meghan was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared about providing the best possible care. Even if your pet is a little aloof or has a big personality like ours, you can trust that Meghan will treat them with patience and compassion. We're so grateful for everything she did and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her! I am not sure how 'Miranda Priestly' feels but I sure hope that Meghan will return!!!
Jordan was amazing as always! She took great care of our new puppy and our cat who she has cared for before. She is great at communicating and takes amazing pictures to let us know everything is going well. I can’t recommend her enough, we can tell our pets love her too!
Marisa was absolutely phenomenal with our two cats! We have honestly never seen someone care for them the way she did. She treated them like they were her own and always made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even stayed longer than scheduled if she felt they needed a little extra attention, which meant so much to us. Her communication was 10/10. We received thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and always felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond, Marisa is the one. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Jessica was amazing! She came twice a day for a week to care for my cat, Luna, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She sent lots of pictures and updates of my little buddy playing, being fed, and getting plenty of love and attention, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Jessica even brought Luna extra treats and toys, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Luna and treated her like one of her own. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!
“Chris did a great job checking in on my cats. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Even my more reserved cat felt comfortable around him, which says a lot. He made the whole process easy and stress-free, and I’d definitely trust him with them again.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Carrollwood on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 3,574 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Carrollwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
