“Jennifer did a fantastic job caring for my dog while I was out of town. From the moment we connected, she was professional, dependable, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I returned home, my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly comfortable with Jennifer. It’s obvious she truly loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again in the future.”

She was very understanding of my dog’s reactivity and we worked together to find a solution where everyone was comfortable. This has been a such a relief knowing I have someone set up to watch the pups even for just a little bit during the day.”

About: I grew up owning dogs & cats. When I got my own house I expanded! I currently have two dogs, a bearded dragon, some fish and five chickens! I’ve always started from babies with any animal I take in, so I can properly train them and build a relationship. I am open to any kind of pet you send my way. I prefer to come to your home, as I have young children and animals of my own. I am able to drop in anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. Monday-Friday I can be available in the afternoon / evening if I have a notice. I work from home so my availability is very open. My children have baseball 2 nights a week and mornings on Saturdays, but I will manage my time around caring for your pets! I would prefer going to my clients home as I have young children and two big dogs; that way their fur baby is comfortable in their own environment. Walking, playing, treats (if allowed) will be a big thing, and lots of snuggles!!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience as both a lifelong pet owner and a sitter. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From small, cuddly pups to high energy Australian breeds who need plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, cuddles, and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I would prefer drop ins and “pet sitting” in your house most of the day if needed, but would currently not be comfortable staying overnight. I am an early riser and can be there very early however , or whatever day time routine would be most comfortable for your dog :) I am currently not working more than 10 hours a week with contract work, so my hours and schedule are very flexible. We are also new to Florida, and are looking to buy a house soon, so this will fill up my time with something I love doing while helping earn some extra income. I know how important your fur babies are to you! My husband and I have a little dog and a big fluffy cat and they are basically our children! I would treat them with just as much love and care as my own animals, and I hope I can bring my little dog with me to play when allowed!

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and truly cannot imagine life without them. I currently have three dogs of my own and have had two others in the past, so I am very comfortable caring for different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. From playful, high-energy pups to older dogs who just want cuddles and calm walks, I understand that every dog is unique. My dogs are family, not just pets, and I promise to treat your fur baby with that same love, patience, and attention. Friends and family always come to me first when they need someone reliable to watch their pets because they know I genuinely care. I’m attentive, responsible, and very observant when it comes to animals’ behavior and needs. I’m a recent graduate from the University of South Florida and currently have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability. I have free time throughout the week and would genuinely love to spend it hanging out with dogs! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Just message me and we can work out a time that fits both of our schedules. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will: • Follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully • Respect your home and space • Keep you updated with messages and photos • Pay attention to your dog’s body language and comfort level I always aim to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared

About: Helped foster animals for a while. I love animals cats, dogs and whatever they maybe. I’m pretty independent and expect every animal to have their own personality. We can play, walk, relax, chill or whatever they need. If you have a list or anything for them that might seem silly but works for your pet give it to me. I once ate cat food and dog food for pets that were shy or bashful and needed a little confidence. I have sung for them, danced with them, play and cuddled them. I’m a worker and a giver; so I will work and give your pets the best care possible. Let’s see if what I have meets your needs. I treat pets with love and respect for all the little quirks and cares that they need. Playing walking or just comforting them. They have feelings too

About: I’ve been around dogs from a young age, so caring for them has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all different sizes and personalities, from small Maltipoos to gentle giants like Great Pyrenees, as well as mixed breeds. I know every dog has their own little quirks, routines, and ways of feeling comfortable, and I love taking the time to get to know each one. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather relax and get lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications as long as detailed instructions are provided. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident knowing your dog is being treated with plenty of patience, affection, and care while you’re away. So don’t worry, you’ll get several photos a day. 😊🐾 I’m currently attending physical therapy school so my schedule is extremely flexible unless I have to be on campus. Otherwise, I am usually free and would love to spend my break with your pup. I can also meet you in advance for a meet and greet. Before I arrive, I always ask for detailed instructions, such as where your dog’s belongings are and how they are outside on their leash. I’ll ask if they have any reactivity or anxiety. I will also offer a meet-and-greet before our first session. Then, upon arrival, I will communicate with you that I am there before I take the time to get to know your pup and start building their trust. We will play, walk, and cuddle with plenty of pets. I will also ensure they have water and if requested are fed or crated before I leave. I am also comfortable operating e-collars if properly shown your pup’s settings beforehand. Don’t worry, you will receive plenty of photos and a thorough update afterwards!

About: I have had a lot of experience caring for dogs throughout my life with all sizes and breeds. My wife and I work full time from home and able to give a lot of love. She is the "run & play" and I am the "snuggle and cuddle." We have a small rescue puppy who loves to play hard and sleep hard. We do lots of walks and she gets along great with other dogs. We will always do a meet-and-greet before we confirm to watch your pup to make sure it is a good fit. My wife and I are both working full time at home with a lot of flexibility. We try to keep a quiet, easy going home during work hours and playtime or walk every two hours. We are happy to have pups in the bed, furniture, etc. We do request a meet and greet but mostly so we get to know your pup!

We faced the unfortunate reality of my German shepherd getting sick while in Kristen’s care. She was fantastic, saw to his needs, and cleaned up and all messes. I feel that she charges far too less on Rover for all she does and has done for me. If you ever need a pet sitter, I recommend Kristen be your first choice.

When she couldn't find the cat one day, we told her it's ok, the cat was raised by the dogs and she goes outside to do her business. Later she found the cat and sent us pictures as proof.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Dunedin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Dunedin is $21 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 6,210 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dunedin. 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.

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 Dunedin 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.

To find sitters in Dunedin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dunedin. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
