“We had a great experience with Alexis! She took wonderful care of our cat and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We really appreciated the updates and photos, they gave us peace of mind while traveling. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to others!”
“This was the first time Alyssa took care of my cat, and she was awesome! My cat is usually shy around strangers but he took to Alyssa right away. Alyssa went above and beyond to make my cat feel comfortable and loved while also sending me lots of pictures and updates. Would highly recommend!”
“Brandi is super punctual and really pays attention to every little detail of any special instructions or care that your particular fur babies need. We are so glad to have found her! We can finally relax and focus on whatever might take us away from our dogs and know that they are getting the same kind of care that we would give them ourselves. Thank you, Brandi!!”
About: I worked at a dog daycare as a Canine Coach and Lead for almost two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels in a fast-paced environment. I also have over 15 years of personal pet care experience, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. As a USF student with an active lifestyle, I enjoy keeping dogs engaged through walks, playtime, and attention while also making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means helping energetic puppies burn off energy or giving older dogs a calmer, more relaxed experience. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone, and I always treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, especially over summer break while I’m home from USF. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active, so dog walking, playtime, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing throughout the week. I do have a few trips planned during the summer, but I always keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings when I know I can fully dedicate my time and attention to each pet. Reliability and communication are very important to me, and I want pet owners to feel confident their dogs are in good hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while keeping the pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, or any special care needs. I have experience working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels from my time working at a dog daycare, so I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and reading animal behavior. I also believe communication and trust are extremely important, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they’re away.
“David help us out last minute after other sitter bailed on us the day before our vacation. David was very responsive. He took care of our 2 dogs without any issues. We will definitely book David again!”
“I don't think I can say enough about how amazing Brooke (and her hubby) were and how thankful I was they could help me lasy minute! My kitty was recently diagnosed with seizures and the boarding location I had secured basically pulled out because there wasn't going to be a doctor on call for the weekend. Not wanting to stress my kitty out with almost no one checking on her. A friend suggested Ro er and helped me find Brooke. I reached out and explained what was going on and she agreed to meet me and my kitty and again was thankfully able to help! She (and her hubby) did a phenomenal job with taking care of my kitty and we couldn't be happier! Will absolutely be contacting them again in the future! They helped settle all my worries and I know they will do an amazing job for your fur babies too!”
“Last minute I needed someone to come see my older dog over the weekend and Martha & Brett were great and quickly accepted my drop-in request and were excellent communicators. I’d highly recommend them and their services!”
“Olga was absolutely fantastic!!! I immediately felt so comfortable with her. She was communicative, on time, professional and very sweet to my boys. I cannot thank you enough. I would give even a higher rating if I could. I highly recommend!!!!”
“If you are trying to find someone to trust within your home and with your precious animals then Jeana is the one to choose! I booked her last minute and she was available and eager to take over. Sent images / updates twice a day and not only took care of my cats but my home as well! Anything you need just communicate and she will get it done, I never thought I would find someone so trusting and kind and the fact that she left a card for us when we came home was a whole new level! Thank you again for watching my fur babies and we will 100% be rebooking!”
About: My first job, at age 12, was pet sitting/dog walking. I've had pets my entire life ranging from dogs and cats to rodents, fish, and reptiles. I currently have 4 cats. I have experience with older dogs and cats as well kittens and puppies. I've also spent years working in customer service so no request will be too much. I have plenty of time for walks and playtime. I can keep up whatever routine your pet is used to. I live near a dog park and can take your pup if they like to play with other dogs If your dog doesn't like cats, my cats can easily be kept separate in my room. They spend most of their day sleeping in there anyway
“Peyton took great care of our lab while we were away. Our dog loved her time with her, and Peyton was very good at keeping us updated. Communication was great! Thank you, Peyton!”
About: I am an animal and nature lover through and through who will treat your pets like gold. Mia, my chocolate lab from 2007 - 2014, taught me how to let animals feel safe, trusting and loved. Since then I have been called on by many friends and customers to keep their pets protected and at ease while having the most fun! Currently working part-time from home so fitting into your walking or drop in schedule will be a breeze. For in home stays, I am available any day of the week. It is my intention to care for your pet the way you would. I believe it's important to maintain a schedule. I do enjoy taking the pups on long walks with no direction once in a while.
“You are wonderful! The pups just adore you and we are so lucky to have you. Sorry they were so full of energy this week. Between the storms and the heat, we didnt get out "regular" walks in! Thank you for everything you do. Best dog sitter in the world!”
About: I love dogs! I have cared for my own most of my life. As a child and an adult. I have also had the opportunity to care for dogs for friends and family. I am home full time and I am available to spend lots of time with your dog. I volunteered at an animal shelter for short time and handled a variety of different dogs. I have experience in caring for senior dogs and with giving medicines and vitamins. I will snuggle with your dog on the couch, bed or right down on the floor and make sure they are well cared for. I understand the need for finding the right person to care your baby as I have had to do so for my own. I would love the opportunity to do that for you.
“Dawn is fantastic! She is certainly a pet person. My dog Paddington hates to me alone, and when I am going to be out of the house for an extended time I call on Dawn to drop in on him. She gives him love and attention. It has been a blessing having Dawn to help out when needed!”

Claire was amazing! She was very sweet and professional when taking care of my 2 huskies! She provided feedback and pictures when she let them out! She is highly dependable and we will 100% use her again!!! Thank you Claire for taking care of my crazy fluffballs!!!
Avery was great. wonderful communication from the start. Appreciated time with meet n greet- and attention to my pup. I was in Clearwater for sisters surgery and Avery was very flexible given the unknowns in this crisis. Was great with my dog and I’d highly recommend!
Emily has made the entire experience effortless. She’s punctual, responsive, and genuinely invested in Tycho’s well being. The photo updates are always appreciated and give me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet!
Amanda was wonderful! She came by twice today to check on and walk Novi while we were at the beach all day, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing Novi was in great hands. We absolutely love her, and Novi does too! We’re so grateful for how dependable, caring, and sweet she is. Highly recommend!
We invited her twice to have our talk and instructions before we left for 2 weeks. She sent us daily pictures of our dogs and cat from every visits. 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. We will be using her again whenever we have to leave our pets.
First time using rover and so impressed with the person I chose to watch my girl Tesa. Emily made it easy for me not to worry one bit! She provided clear communication, provided update pictures, and documented all the details to make me feel so at ease. Only a few people I can trust with my dog, Emily is trustworthy and my girl’s new dog-sitter anytime I’m gone!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dunedin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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 dog, 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.
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.

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.
