“Mia did a great job taking care of our two cats. Her communication was great and she left our house just as we left it. We would love to use Mia again to watch our fur babies in the future!”
“Having Kasey check in on my dog was a great experience! She was very friendly and professional and sent me pictures of my animals during every visit which made me feel happy to see them while I was away from home.”
About: Hi, I'm Cindy! I've been an animal lover my entire life and have had pets of my own since childhood. For over 25 years, I've also helped care for the pets of family and friends, treating each one with the same love and attention I give my own. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, bathing, administering medications, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after them. Whether it's a walk, a quick visit, or some extra love and attention, I'm happy to help keep your pets safe, comfortable, and loved! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care on weekday mornings and evenings. During the early afternoons, I work as a nanny, but I have plenty of time before and after to care for your furry family members! On weekends, I'm available mornings, early evenings and afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I always follow your instructions carefully, whether it's feeding, walks, medications, or any special needs. I also respect your home and make sure everything is left just as I found it. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in loving, dependable hands!
“Kadence was an incredible pet sitter for our fur babies while we were out of town. She visited with them, gave them lots of love along with their meals, and took our dog on adventurous walks and play times in the yard. She sent pictures and notes after every visit. Our finicky cat who wants nothing to do with people sat right on her lap for pets. That's a big thing! We would love to have Kadence watch our pets any time, and highly recommend her services!”
“Brandi is always amazing with our dog! She handled his medication schedule perfectly and made sure he got everything he needed while we were away. We got regular updates and pictures. Super reliable and attentive — we’ll definitely book again!”
“Fantastic service and all 3 shy cats took to her immediately. Wonderful Great communication and excellent pictures. It’s always nice to know your fur babies are fine and dandy while you’re away from home”
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.
“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!”
About: I currently work as a veterinary technician and I have over 16 years caring for animals professionally. It is something I enjoy tremendously and am happy I get to do something I love every day. With my experience, I am able to properly administer many medications both by mouth and injectable (Insulin, Glucosamine etc.) and I am able to notice many signs of possible illness. If you do not have animals that require medical care, I have no problems becoming a friend to your pet and feeding him/her as necessary, walking him/her, taking him/her to parks and more! I am available to stay with your pet at your own home in order to keep your pet in a comfortable and familiar setting. I look forward to hearing from you and learning about your fur baby! I work locally on Monday-Friday ( 8am-5pm) so any time in between these hours( before 8am or anytime after 5pm), I am free all weekends. I have a fenced in small yard that your pup could sniff around and have fun in. I love sleeping with my fur babies at night so I am ok with your pup joining in!
About: Please read through all of my profile before submitting a request as I have specifications that your dogs may or may not meet. I am a semi retired certified dog trainer and have been training and boarding for 2 30 yrs. I worked closely with rescues and animal shelters and was training director for a shelter in southern California. I require a mandatory meet and greet before accepting new dogs, but there could be an odd exception. I generally only have one dog at a time, although may take two dogs maximum, if I think they are a compatible match. I am rarely gone for more than two hours at a time. All adult dogs must be spayed/ neutered. Puppies under 9 months should be crate trained and would need the crate brought with them. Puppies are extra and will be adjusted accordingly. My border/husky mix is a playful boy but is also respectful of older dogs who dont want to play. I have a pool they can swim in. Your dog will always be supervised when outside. I am happy to work on training while boarding if you wish. Thanks, and I look forward to meeting your kids! NOTE: I no longer take in Bully breeds or mixes of the breed due to homeowner restrictions. Also I would need to reject any dogs that show aggression so please be upfront I will know immediately with my experience. I'm retired so home most of the day so we get to play and cuddle most of the daytime and night. It's up to them where they want to sleep. Padlocks on gates. Safety is my number one priority. I worked many years in animal shelters and as a trainer and know exactly how to keep them from getting out and lost.
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.
“Jordyn went above and beyond during our time away and made our cats feel very comfortable. She offered to watch them out on the lanai which I’m sure they loved, brought in packages, and was extremely thorough with asking questions and following instructions. Will definitely rebook!”
About: Hi, I’m Ocean! I’m a Veterinary Technician with over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. Working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs extra patience, or requires medications or special care, you can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced hands. My top priorities are always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know they’re family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is a part of my daily and weekly routine because I already work full-time as a veterinary technician. I’m used to structuring my days around animal care, including feeding schedules, medication times, monitoring behavior, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need. On a typical day, I’m already in a rhythm of caring for multiple animals, so adding pet sitting or drop-ins fits in smoothly before or after work, as well as on my days off. I’m very organized and plan ahead to make sure each pet in my care gets consistent, reliable attention. I’m a calm, reliable, and detail oriented person who understands that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a specific routine, medication, or just some loving attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels right at home.
About: Hi there! I go by Kate. I’ve had dogs my entire life, but my experience really began when I helped raise and train a guide dog puppy in my freshman year of college. Since then, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends and won over even the most stranger-averse of dogs. I work part-time freelance, so my schedule is wide open to care for your pet. I can be there any time and day of the week. Afternoons are preferred, but if you need mornings, I’ll be there! I know it takes a lot of trust to let someone care for your pet, so I will treat your home and fur baby with the utmost care and respect. I’ll follow your rules and instructions absolutely to the letter.
“David went above and beyond, he brought all mail and packages inside and even brought our garbage can in. He stayed in touch and did an amazing job caring for our 4 Labs while we were out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dunedin
Tori was amazing! It was our dogs first time home alone for a vacation so we got a blink cam and hired Tori for drop in visits. Peach was just sitting and staring at the door crying all night! She was not liking our family being gone. Tori offered to have Peach board at her house. She went out of her way to pick Peach up late at night and invite her in her home. On top of that she sent pics and updates throughout the day during our vacation. I highly recommend her to take care of your pup. We will be having our dog board with her for our vacations from here on out. She was great!
Courtney was fantastic! I have one cat in particular on a daily medication and she always made sure that Mumble got her medication. She sent so many pictures! And when I returned home my girls were relaxed and happy and I so appreciate it. Knowing that they felt loved and cared for while I was gone. Courtney was also wonderfully detailed, noticing and alerting me to small things around the house while I was gone as well as changing the waters frequently.
We think we have finally found the right person to care for Harper! Taylor clearly loves dogs—even a stubborn retriever. Taylor communicated clearly, was always timely, and gave Harper the full walk and care she needs. Thank you so much, Taylor, and we will be booking with you again soon!
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.
Kadence did a great job for me. She's a lovely person and really seems to care about our animals. They came rushing out to meet her when we first met her last week, which is a good sign because Harris is very picky about who he likes. I'll definitely use her again.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dunedin is $20 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 6,448 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dunedin. On Rover:
- 89% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
