“Sonia was wonderful with our 2 cats. It was the first time leaving our fur babies and not taking them with us so we were nervous, but Sonia was so fantastic! She came for a meet and greet and was so patient with them. They warmed up to her rather quickly and spent all of their time receiving so much attention from Sonia. We loved all of the picture updates we received. Anytime Sonia is available when we are out of town, we will absolutely book with her again.”
“We are so lucky to have found Breezy here. Our first time using drop in services and we had complete peace of mind while out of town knowing our fur babies would be cared for in our home. Every drop in we received photos and details. Plus our dogs loveeeee Breezy. I’m pretty sure they could care less that we weren’t home because their new favorite person was there.”
“Katelyne was so easy to work with! Wore our pup out and took great care of our chickens, while keeping us updated on how they were doing the whole time. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Joe was really great! He showed up on time and went above and beyond in walking our dogs and caring for them. He was very friendly also! We will definitely use him again! Thank you, Joe!!”
About: Growing up , I have owned every type of pet . Cats , dogs anywhere from shi-tzus to St. Bernard’s , rabbits , hamsters , snakes and tarantulas. I go on 4 mile walks/runs about 3 -4 days a week and happy to take your pet along for a walk or run! I’ve taken in many pets , such as those who have needed senior care , pets who were deaf and or blind , and pets who were rescued. I have 3 years of paid experience working with animals ! I’m currently in school virtually full time so I guess you could say I work from home ! Im able to fit any walk routine , any potty schedule , and any drop bys if needed ! I have a fenced in back yard! I also have a spare room for any animals I board ! When visiting clients homes I send updates and pictures if needed !
“Cheyenne did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away! She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I came home to two happy cats, and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Where to begin. One word…Oustanding!! Christine communicated all the events that transpired when she visited the cats. My cats took to her like she was family. She made sure feeding time was addressed and clean up was taken care of. She interacted with the cats which pictures indicate the cats really enjoyed. I would definitely says she is a Top Tier pet sitter!! Recommend her to anyone in the Ocala that needs a pet looked after if you have to leave town for vacation, family emergency, business trip etc. I will absolutely make her my first choice for any future needs to care for the cats while I am away. Can we give her 6 stars out of 5? 😁”
About: I have had dogs and cats the majority of my life, as well as livestock throughout high school. In high school I also participated in a veterinary program for 4 years where I learned about animal health, signs of illness, how to administer medication, animal behavior, basic grooming, training techniques and more. I apply this information to pets that I care for as needed so they can receive the best care for their individual personalities and needs. Your pets social and physical needs being met to the fullest extent is very important to me, they will be treated with kindness, love and understanding. I am comfortable using the tools your dog is familiar with for walks including but not limited to: Gentle leaders or other head halters, prong collars, flat collars, harnesses, e collars. I have daily availability to provide walks or drop in care for your pet! Due to rental rules I am unable to take animals back to my own home for any duration of time. While I am currently unable to provide care in my own home I strive to provide your pet with meaningful interaction in the comfort of their familiar environment. If your pet loves fetch, we can play! If your pet isn’t a fetch fan we can interact on walks or in your home and yard focused on games and activities that they find fulfilling.
“Naomi is absolutely amazing, she is kind, honest and trustworthy! She went above and beyond in the best possible ways for me and my family. We were in a difficult situation with our mother needing to leave her pets and go for temporary healthcare after suffering a stroke, Naomi made the pet care for the cats and dog in every way easier for us with no worries on their care and attention.”
About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.
“Isabella did a great job with my cat! Super happy that he was safe and got lots of love while I was out of town! Even cleaned when he had accidents, very much recommend her!!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was 5 years old. I have grown up with 2 cats and a very very very hyper puppy!! I have lots of experience from taking care of them, to taking care of other families animals as well. I attend online grad school! I have the privilege to set my schedule for the day and week, resulting in flexibility throughout with times and availability! I will treat them like my own. Satisfy their needs by cuddling with them, taking them for car rides and walks. Not only that, I will give all my attention to them, give them lots of treats and would love for them to sleep with me if I sleep over!
“Jessica did an incredible job watching our cats and keeping our house in shape! When we take trips, our cats tend to decimate everything and it was great to know Jessica was not only easing our worry, but keeping our cats safe and entertained!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, so I’m very comfortable with all dog breeds. I can also take care of more than just dogs and cats—I have experience with ferrets, birds, snakes, large lizards, and small animals/rodents. If you have other pets, that’s totally okay! I love making sure dogs get plenty of outdoor time, and if yours is high-energy, I’ll keep them busy and entertained 😊 I work Monday–Friday and usually get off around 4:30 PM, but I keep my weekends open for bookings. I’m available after 4:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but I work until 9:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m fully available on weekends. I know your pets miss you when you’re away, so I always make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I have five dogs of my own, so I’m very used to different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll treat yours like part of the family.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dunnellon
Dawn is an absolute lifesaver. I had an emergency while out of state and she stepped up with less than an hour's notice. Not only did she follow my specific technical instructions for my indoor bonsai trees perfectly, but she also has a great eye for detail. She noticed the cats' water bowl was empty even though a secondary bowl was full, showing she truly cares about the animals' well-being. She was professional, communicative, and handled everything flawlessly. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!

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 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 cat, 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.

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.
