About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years, and it’s something I’ve genuinely loved doing from the start. I grew up helping my family with pet sitting we’ve all been on Rover so I’ve had plenty of hand on experience. I’m really comfortable with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies who need extra time and energy to senior pets who need a little more patience and care. I’m all about making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy while their people are away. I also used to run a small reptile rescue, so while dogs and cats are my main focus, I’ve picked up a lot of useful skills when it comes to handling animals with different needs and personalities Pet care fits really well into my daily routine! I’m a full time college student, but my classes are scheduled in a way that keeps my mornings and afternoons free. I’m available every day of the week before 5 PM, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop ins, feedings, and just spending quality time with your pet. I’m super flexible and can usually adjust my schedule to fit what your pet needs When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, I always follow your instructions whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or special routines. I know how much it means for them to stay comfortable and happy in their own space. I treat every home and pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.

About: I have had a pet in my home since I was born. The first dog I remember was Ginger, then PJ, then Sparkie, then Jenna and Millie, Anja and Argus, then Bonnie and Clyde, and now we have our very friendly buddy, Gustav. They ranged from a miniature Schnauzer and Jack Russels to Rottweilers and German Shepherds. My closest friend's dad bred and trained German Shepherds while I was in high school. I was surrounded by a pack most of my life and loved it. I owned a local pup friendly pub for 14 years and made it a point to great every dog that came in. I am hoping for the chance to see some of those dogs again! My current schedule is very flexible, so I can focus on the pet's care when they need it. I understand that different pets require different things at different times and I am able and willing to accommodate with a bit of forewarning. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly 10 month old puppy who loves new company. He and I go for walks around our neighborhood daily and we do outings to the park a few times a week. I have 2 cats that are indifferent to dogs and they have their own separate space so they can be alone if they want. I deep clean the litter boxes at least twice a week and would be happy to do the same for your kitties at your home. (Access to a hose outside is very helpful for this) I have room for crates and pets are not left outside unattended. I am very vigilant about picking up poop and want to keep a clean yard for the pups to play in.

About: I've been caring for animals all my life. Dogs, hamsters and birds were part of my household growing up. My purpose and passion is to care for animals in whatever capacity I can. From dogs and cats to birds, ferrets and reptiles. I have worked in the veterinary field for 30 + years. One of those hospitals was an avian and exotic hospital. I am a certified veterinary assistant although generally preferred the front desk aspect. I have chosen to leave that field and focus on pets in their home. I love pet sitting. I've been doing it on the side for close to 30years. I particularly love senior pets and cats. I love the close relationships I develop with the animals in my care. I will love and care for you pet as I do my own. This is my full time employment. I am available to drop in to your home as much as 2-3 times a day as needed. I do not board in my home and will occasionally be available for overnight stays. I will come to your home and follow your instructions to the letter. I will keep the space clean and tidy and care for a few plants as well. Your pet will receive lots of loving attention from me. Lots of snuggles if they so choose or playtime or just general company. I respect all pets boundaries.

About: There has always been at least one dog in my house to take care of. I can assure you that your pet will be loved and cared for with the same amount I give my own at home. I am pretty flexible and can make time for you and your pet. I will play with and take care of your pet as if they were my own. I take my dogs for walks or run around with them outside, I feed them when it’s time, and give them their medication if prescribed any. They also get lots of treats and cuddles!

About: As a devoted pet sitter, I bring enthusiasm, care, and reliability to every pet I look after. I understand that each dog/cat/pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs, whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship and love. With a strong sense of responsibility and a genuine passion for pets, I ensure your friend feels happy, safe, and well-cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. I work from home (I have to be physically at my home working during office hours though) and I have exceptional flexibility for pet sitting, house sitting and dog walking services. I can easily adapt to your pet’s specific schedule, whether they need midday walks, morning care, or evening cuddles. My work setup enables me to provide consistent attention and timely care, ensuring your furry friend feels loved and secure throughout the day. I’m available to accommodate last-minute changes or special requests, making your pet’s happiness and well-being my priority. I currently do not offer pet sitting in my home. I’m happy to provide care in your home or offer other services such as drop-in visits and dog walking, depending on your needs.

“Brook is absolutely wonderful! She is deeply caring and observant and took the time to absorb the peculiarities about my elder dog, Maya, before spending time with her. Brook picks up on and reports the little things - how active Maya was; whether she was in the mood to sleep or play; how many times she went potty. She also sent pictures and updates and was very responsive. 10 out of 10!!”

About: Hi! I love animals and I’m caring, passionate and friendly. I have experience with all types of animals, big and small. I’d love to take care of your fur babies too! I’m home all day so I can take care of your pets all day. I can offer baths and nail cuts also for an additional fee. Tips are very much appreciated ❤️🫶🏻 P.s I do NOT have any pets of my own. Please let me know if your pet is not fully potty trained, please bring pee pads if so. Also, if your dog is in heat, there will be an additional fee that will be incurred. I do local pick up and drop off within 5-10 miles for a small fee. Longer distances are open to discussion but do incur a fee for gas/wear and tear. Let me know if you are looking for over 2 weeks and we can adjust pricing for long term. Please be aware there are times I may have other dogs from another family or families. I take great care towards your pet and their safety and happiness is top priority. If your animal is not ok with others, please let me know and confirm with me that I don’t have others during that time. I work from home so I have flexible availability. I can watch pets in my home, during the week or weekends, or in your home for daily walks, care etc. I do not have any pets of my own. Drop off/pick up hours are between M-F 7 am-8 pm. Weekends are 9 am-8 pm. Please message me if you need to pick up or drop off after or before. We may have to reschedule for the day before or after. I have a big home and big yard (empty retention pond) for your pet to run in. I can transport your pet also. I have experience with big and small animals.

About: I have walked different sized and aged dogs while volunteering at the Humane Society. I love high energy dogs because they help make sure I get my exercise for the day 🙂 I strive to provide the best care and give the most time to your dogs. I create plans based on your dog's needs and not vice versa. I know it's important to make sure dogs stay happy while in my care. I monitor your dog's health and update you as soon as I see anything out of the ordinary to ensure everything is running smoothly. I currently work part time. It's easy for me to do walks in the morning and evening and night time and but I am able to board any time of the week as my boyfriend is able to help as well. I have a large fenced yard and live in a quiet street and neighborhood. There is plenty of space to rest and relax and to go for long walks together.

About: Dogs and cats are definitely our best friends and, as they love us unconditionally, we are their devoted fans. 🐾 I have a refrigerator magnet that says "I pet all dogs," as I definitely do love them. I did have cats growing up and into my adulthood, and also my son and stepdaughter, so I've had lots of experience with them. I've also had dogs for a large part of my adult life so I'm very experienced with dogs also. I've also watched friends and family cats and dogs and have watched up to five dogs at one time. Our pets give tremendous joy to our hearts, keep us active and put a smile on our face. As such, it would be a pleasure to meet your pet and spend time playing, walking, or running, with him/her and doing whatever they may love to do best. Thank goodness for Rover as it will provide me with opportunities to meet like-minded people with their fur babies and will allow me the opportunity to insure the care, time and love for your pet worry-free while you're away. I will also most definitely send you pictures! I have a flexible schedule and I have lots of experience. I look forward to hearing from you! 🐾 🩷Happy Tails! I'm retired so I'm available to care for your pet, even last minute. I would, of course, like your input on activities for your pet and to know your pet's level of activity and likes/dislikes before engaging him/her but would definitely be sure to make your best friend happy and content while they're with me. I definitely follow the owners instructions on care for their pet, get your approval on activities and know your pet's level of activity and likes/dislikes before engaging him/her. I give lots of attention to your pet to be sure he/she is comfortable here at my home.

Mechell was so thoughtful when taking care of my cat, Sonny. For every single drop in, she sent a cute video or photo of him, which is always nice to receive. She was very communicative and I felt very secure leaving Sonny in her care. Thank you so much!

Mia was amazing! She assisted in all we needed for our cats while we were gone for the week. Even when I would reach out to ask questions regarding the cats she always answered quickly. My husband and I loved the daily updates and pictures of the cats. It made our day every single time. We will definitely be rebooking with Mia moving forward.

Christine was punctual, efficient, and spent extra quality time with Weechee. Weechee tragically lost his Kahu without warning in April. He usually will barely eat the first time someone cares for him. Christine not only played with Weechee, but had him join in on a daily yoga session which helped keep him calm and form a special bond with her. I highly recommend her as your pets temporary Kahu!

Another great experience with Alex. Our kitties miss her already. Alex does a great job with our gang and even got our shy girl Tribble to at least come out of hiding and watch the boys play with the feather stick. Tribble participating is another thing! Alex shows up early, checks in on the app, and she brought in packages that showed up that we thought we stopped and let us know they were there. She was concerned about something being wrong with our gas fireplace and sent pictures. Turns out nothing was wrong just an old fashioned pilot light system from the 90s but we most definitely appreciate her checking on it. Alex sends lots of pictures and spends time playing with the kitties. When we have out pre trip meetup to go over things our big guy meets her at the door and sits on her lap the whole time she is here. We highly recommend Alex. You will not be disappointed!

Courtney was phenomenal! We had such detailed notes for Jax, and she flowed them great. She sent constant detailed updates, gave lots and lots of chin rubs and provided the care and relief we needed to be able to go away. It’s scary introducing an 18 year old cat to a new person per the first time and we felt safe and comfortable leaving him in her wonderful care. We will certainly use her services again if we ever get another weekend away.

Our cat Jada, got to meet Chelsea when we had to leave town unexpectedly. I am a very protective mom because Jada is not a friendly cat, but Chelsea used her purrsuasion to coax her out from under the bed. It worked marvelously because Jada now has a new adopted mom. Jada loved spending time with Chelsea and I think the feeling was mutual. The photos and videos helped me to feel that we had made a good choice for a pet sitter. Jada met her at the door each visit. Chelsea is a blessing. Do I highly recommend her? YES I SURE DO. Thank you for being there Chelsea when I couldn't.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Dunedin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dunedin is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 3,025 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dunedin. 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 .

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 .

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.
