“Tamara saved us and is now our go to! We were blindsided by our vacation home with a more restrictive pet policy than we had hoped for only 1 day before our planned departure so in a panic we turned to Rover. Tamara was extremely quick to respond. She was professional and kind and completely understanding and supportive of our situation. The pups warmed up to her pretty quickly.”

“Natalie has always been prompt in arriving at the agreed upon time to take care of our PBGV and 2 Maine Coon cats. They love her and not just because she's the one that gives them treats when she visits. I hesitate yo recommend her only because I selfishly want her to be available when I need her. But if you really need a reliable person to take care of your 4-legged babies, she should be your first pick!!♡”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a very young child and have two of my own today. Whether it was family or neighbors I’ve always been the go-to for pet sitting of any kind, and I hope I get the chance to show your pup or kitty the love they deserve too. I attend university online, so my schedule is very flexible and I have the ability to make as many trips as necessary a day to care for your pet, and of course I’m happy to let them sleep on my lap while I work on papers. Gaining a pets trust is important to me so I never push them beyond their comfort zone, and wait for them to choose to warm up to me.

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs my entire life. Growing up with a dog at home since birth taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency in pet care. Beyond that, I had the incredible experience of assisting in raising a guide dog, which deepened my understanding of training, responsibility, and the unique bond between humans and dogs. These experiences have given me both the skills and the heart to provide exceptional care and create a safe, loving environment for any dog. I am currently a graduate school student with an extremely flexible schedule. I have large gaps in the afternoons with many days with no class. I would be able to accommodate lunch walk/bathroom breaks as well as morning and evening check ins if needed. I prioritize caring for pets exactly how their owners prefer. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication, and any special needs to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment, and I’m happy to accommodate their usual routines as much as possible. My apartment also features designated dog play areas that are available for use, giving dogs plenty of space to exercise and socialize. Whether in your home or mine, my goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

“★★★★★ I had such a wonderful experience with her caring for my cat through drop-in visits! She did an amazing job, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and was incredibly attentive and reliable. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of.

About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve regularly cared for my family’s dogs, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and playtime. My parents’ outdoor dogs get so excited to see me, they race just to greet me! I can take care of your beloved pet Monday through Friday, from 11AM-7PM. I can provide multiple walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Feel free to contact me to discuss care schedules! Your pet’s safety comes first. I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medication, walks, and your pet’s routine. During walks, I use the equipment and walking routine you provide while keeping a close eye on your pet and their surroundings. I never introduce your pet to unfamiliar animals without your approval. I respect your home and follow your instructions regarding doors, gates, crates, and other safety precautions. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and. are and have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and a little more care with their routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship and a comfortable environment. I don’t have experience caring for cats but I have been around cats! I currently work M-F 8-5. I would be able to drop in before and after that and anytime on the weekends. Whether that is walking or checking on the pets. I am attentive to pets in their own homes and respectful of others belongings. I do not offer to care for pets in my home.

About: I have been pet sitting on-and-off since I was 11 years old and have experience volunteering for veterinary offices and exotic animal rescues. I have a regular schedule with set hours and work not far from my home. I would be able to perform these services before work, mid-day (lunch breaks), and after work I am wide-open to help your pets feel comfortable and loved. We are a home to a loveable Cockapoo who enjoys the safety of our fenced-in yard and has access to all but one room.

About: Hi! My name is Mckenzie I’m a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I specialize in personalized, one-on-one care, taking the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. From walks and playtime to feeding, medication routines, and lots of love, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ My Availability As a college student balancing classes with a part-time job, my weekday schedule is somewhat limited during the afternoon. While extended weekday afternoon stays during my school/work hours aren’t the best fit for my schedule, pop-in visits during the day are absolutely welcome for things like potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Overnight stays are also welcome, along with evening and weekend care. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and find an arrangement that works well for everyone. 🐾 My Top Priorities When caring for your pets, my top priorities are safety, communication, and trust. I understand that inviting someone to care for your pets is a responsibility that requires confidence and peace of mind, and I take that responsibility seriously. Safety always comes first. I make sure pets are cared for according to their individual routines, environments, and needs while remaining attentive to potential risks or changes in behavior. Communication is essential to providing excellent care. I keep owners informed with timely updates and am proactive about communicating any questions, concerns, or changes I notice while they’re away. Most importantly, I strive to build trust with both pets and their owners. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect while following the instructions and routines provided by their family. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your pet is in caring, dependable hands.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 9 years old, and animals have truly been a lifelong passion of mine. I grew up on a ranch in Pennsylvania, where I gained hands-on experience with all kinds of farm animals as well as dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and more exotic species. Growing up, I also helped rescue and care for animals until they were healthy and able to fend for themselves again. Today, animals are still a huge part of my everyday life. I have two 15-year-old long-haired Chihuahuas, a 130-pound Sulcata tortoise, and five Fennec foxes. I am also a USDA-licensed breeder of Fennec foxes, which has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals at every stage of life—from newborns requiring close attention and specialized care to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. Because of my experience, I’m very comfortable around animals with different personalities, sizes, ages, and care requirements. I understand how important routines are and how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. I work full-time as a Realtor, but I’m also a full-time animal mom! Since having so many animals of my own makes traveling difficult, I often find myself caring for friends’ and family members’ pets instead—and I genuinely love it. I decided to join Rover because spending time with animals is something that truly brings me joy. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and needs time to warm up, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply happiest sticking to their normal routine, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable and cared for. Your pets aren’t “just pets”—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat them while they’re in my care. ❤️🐾 I make my own schedule and have a great deal of flexibility throughout the day. As a Realtor, I’m frequently driving throughout the area for work, which makes it easy for me to incorporate drop-in visits, walks, feedings, and other pet care into my daily routine. My schedule varies from day to day, so I can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute requests. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible! I provide drop-in care for many different types of animals and understand that every pet has their own routine and individual needs. I can assist with feeding, fresh water, walks and potty breaks, playtime, crate or enclosure cleaning, litter boxes, and other routine care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats as well as reptiles, birds, small animals, senior pets, newborn animals, and many exotics. I have extensive hands-on animal experience and am a USDA-licensed exotic animal breeder. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety is always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, keep doors, gates, crates and enclosures secure, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Having been raised by a father who was a veterinarian, I’ve had experience raising and caring for various types of animals. I believe our fur babies aren’t just pets, but are our children, family, guides and protectors I recently resigned from teaching and only have to care for my kitty child Lyran, so I’m pretty free and available for most dates and times requested. Having a cat baby at my house, I would prefer to go to the clients house to care for their pets. I can make exceptions and keep a clients pet depending on the pet and requirements for care.

Allyson was a great find as we unexpectedly need to find a pet sitter fast. Our pup Molly took to her right away and they became fast friends. I received real time updates, she was observant to notice things right away, sent pics and she was very helpful and flexible given our situation. It’s been super having her help us with Molly and I can’t recommend her enough.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fish Hawk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fish Hawk is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 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 6,956 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fish Hawk. 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 Fish Hawk. 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.
