“This was our first time trying to find a sitter for our family pets (1 dog and 6 cats!). We were hesitant to just pull a name off social media. Rover, however, provided an excellent opportunity to preview and locate a sitter in our area with the experience we needed. All transactions were easy and responses were very quick. Elizabeth, our chosen sitter, took on the challenge readily and came right out to meet and greet the furry part of our family. We were very pleased with her promptness, loving care, and plentiful feedback while we were away.”
“I feel so lucky to have found Brittany to check in on our cat, Wilson, while we were away! Great communication with lots of pictures and videos. Wilson was well loved and the house was tidy when we returned. Highly recommend Brittany for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi, I have a cat who I love dearly and am looking to take care of others. I have tons of experience growing up with animals, dogs and cats. I am a college student with a far good amount of free time. Looking to walk or feed animals in my free time for spare money. If I plan on walking dogs, I will arrive on schedule and handle them with care. For cats the same goes as well, providing my undivided attention to them.
“Such a great cat sitter. Kelli provided lots of communication and updates on my cats while I was away giving me such peace of mind. She was timely and considerate. I definitely will use her again in the future!”
“I would give Doris a 7 STAR rating! We had a vacation planned and a family member who normally watched our wonderful fur babies, experienced a personal emergency and was not able to dog sit for us. Last minute we turned to Rover. We had never utilized Rover before, being a little apprehensive...of course we all love our dogs as family!!! We reviewed Doris P. profile, seeing she was in close proximity to our house. With less than a week notice (until our vacation) Doris responded immediately letting us know she was available. Wow, is all I can say! She was GREAT with them both!!! Doris sent many pics of them smiling and the largest baby playing catch with a ball, it was quite obvious they loved her too! We greatly appreciated her being willing to come with such a short notice...she literally saved our vacation!!! Much Thanks Doris!!”
“Tiffany was great with our senior pup and our cat. It was our first time using rover so naturally we were very nervous. Tiffany was very responsive and instilled confidence in us which made the process so easy and convenient. I would 100% recommend her to anyone of my friends or anyone on here that needs someone to check on their fur babies while they’re gone!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. I grew up with a Husky, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise, attention, and patience. I currently have a Lab mix of my own and understand how important it is to make sure every dog gets the care and activity they need. I also have experience caring for cats and have cat-sat for family members while they were out of town. I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own! Availability for drop ins: Monday 4am-3pm and 8pm-12:00am Tuesday 4am- 1pm and 8pm-12:00am Wednesdays 4am- 3pm and 8pm-12:00am Thursdays 4am-1pm and 8pm-12:00am Friday 4am- 3pm and 8pm-12:00am Saturday 4am-6am and 8:30pm-12am Sunday 4am-6am and 8:30pm-12am (My weekend availability may vary due to my college softball schedule! Feel free to message me to confirm my availability, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs! 🐾) I’m currently a college student and work part-time at Starbucks, but my schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding walks, feeding, routines, medications, or special needs. I’m attentive while walking dogs and will always keep them securely leashed and supervised. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll respect both their space and their normal routine while giving them plenty of attention and care.
“Gabrielle was the perfect fit for our 2 boys! We had put in a last minute job request when we were out of town and our previous sitter backed out unexpectedly. Gabrielle got back to us about the job request and accepted it in minutes! She was on time to all the visits we booked with her and she sent us pictures and updates during/after the visits. She gave our dogs lots of lovings and even our cat that was not part of the job! We will be returning customers and can’t recommend her enough ☺️”
“Kat is great! She was so flexible in setting up a meet and greet with our dog Loki for the first time. She was so sweet and Loki took to her right away. She is very quick to respond to questions I may have and is great at communicating regarding her time with our pup. This week was the first week we used Rover and I am so glad Kat was who we ended up finding for Loki, we will definitely be continuing to utilize her. She sends lots of pictures, videos, and gives very detailed explanations regarding her drop in visit. Loki loves her and that is what is most important to us as dog parents! I highly recommend Elizabeth for your pet care needs ?”
“Madlen is great! Highly recommend! She is knowledgeable on care for dogs and is very accommodating to any request needed. Oakley immediately felt comfortable with her which left me at peace. I will definitely be using Madlen frequently for my dog sitting/walking needs.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, even domesticated raccoons. I’ve dog sat more times than I can count. My dream as a child was to move to Australia and work with Steve Irwin at the Australia Zoo. Always been a lover of animals and consider your fur babies on the same level as your sons and daughters. I will make sure they are in good hands with me always. I’m currently between jobs and only working 10-15 hours per week. It’s a rotating schedule but when I’m not working I’m free from 9 AM-1 AM but am happy to make an exception if need be. I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog park, a beautiful set of land for walking your pet, and when I am watching your pet I am clocked in and locked in and am as present with them as I would be babysitting a toddler. Minimal distractions, only focus on your baby. (Also very selfishly, want to be their favorite sitter!)
About: I am an all animal lover who pays attention to the happiness and well being of the dogs that I care for. I have 3 dogs of my own as well as a horse. I have previous experience working in a vet clinic as a kennel attendant and currently volunteer at an aquarium caring for animals. I also have experience dog sitting, horse sitting, and house sitting for people who have become regular clients of mine. I am able to adapt to the needs of your dogs, offering to run with your dog to excercise them or to take them on a leisure walk for their enjoyment and pleasure. I am also able to take your fur-babies to the dog park to socialize if that is something you desire. I have time slots available 7 days a week and am flexible. I look forward to serving you and your dogs!
About: With years of experience as a former veterinary technician, I specialize in caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens, as well as senior pets. Now, I run a family-owned pet sitting business, providing expert care across multiple breeds. The daily or weekly routine includes feeding and watering, walks and playtime, and administering medication if necessary, while also handling other duties like cleaning the litter box and providing general companionship. The goal is to maintain consistency for the pet's health and reduce stress. I prioritize establishing and maintaining the pet's routine, which includes feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I ensure the pet's safety by understanding their behaviors, securing the home to prevent escapes, and having all necessary supplies ready. Throughout the stay, I provide plenty of affection and engagement while communicating regularly with the client.
“Ashlyn was fantastic! She checked in on my dog for a weekend trip and was sure to send lots of cute pictures. It was reassuring to know that my dog was well-cared for and happy! I would highly recommend her!!”
“Sky awesome! She’s so great with our pup — gives her attention and cuddles, and thoroughly communicates throughout her visit. Our puppy baby is lucky to have her as a friend!”
About: I've had a variety of pets growing up but always love being around dogs. I don't mind cats. I have two pit bull mixes of my own right now wish I had the money and space to adopt more. I feel dogs need to be walked as much as possible and I would like to be the guy you can rely on to walk an important part of your family. Just like the dog in your life I can be just as loyal and always willing to please you the owner. I am available to walk your dog/dogs any day of the week with adequate notice. I don’t walk any dog past 8pm at night sorry I am a loving and respectful dog owner and caregiver of my own dogs and I will be the same way for you pets and home.
“I had a last minute work trip and was very hesitant as a 1st time Rover user. Especially, since I have a kitten and a senior cat with different personalities and needs. Angel was absolutely the best and kept excellent communication with me. Both cats were well taken care of, she was able to get pics of my shy senior under my bed and alerted me when 1 of my water foundations stop working. Incredibly thankful to have found her on Rover.”
“I highly recommend Cara! She was incredibly friendly and very attentive to my dogs. She followed every single instruction I left perfectly, and my pups absolutely loved her. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dade City is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $27 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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,665 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dade City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dade City. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
