“Tara was fantastic! She communicated really well, did a great job cleaning up after our cat and watering our plants, left us lots of pictures, and even a kind note and some treats. Thank you Tara!!”
About: I have grown up with cats my whole life, looking after dogs throughout high school. I have house sat and pet sat overnight for 6 years, and have loved every minute of it! I truly have a love for all animals and will treat yours as my own. I’m currently a Junior at the University of North Alabama. I have a very flexible schedule, and will share class schedule if needed. I have another part time job, however my longest shift is 4 hours, so nothing too extensive. I love taking care of pets in their home or spaces where they overall feel the most comfortable. I enjoy spending lots of time with each pet to create a safe, trusted bond.
“Jamie did a fantastic job caring for our pups while we were away! They were immediately comfortable with her! She came to our home for drop-by’s and was very responsible, punctual, and trustworthy! Exceptional job!! Will definitely call her again.”

“Hannah got to meet my roommates dog and showed her just as much love as she always has Snoopy! Ive felt so awful asking for help last minute, but Hannah has done a wonderful job of assuring it is not a problem!”
About: I've taken care of my neighborhoods animals since I was younger. With the dogs, I would walk them, play ball with them in the back yard, to bathing them if they needed it to cuddling them if it was a storm night. Hi guy! I just graduated school, so how pet care fits into my dailey routine is that i’m available majority of the time even holidays! How I would keep your pets safe is when we are going on a walk I would make sure they were leased. And then if I was playing ball with them I would make sure the gates where closed. And then during the night if they stayed in a crate I would make sure I had one.
About: I have had pets and cared for animals since I was a child, giving me years of hands-on experience with both indoor and outdoor animals. Growing up on a farm allowed me to work closely with a variety of large animals as well as young and baby animals, helping me develop a strong understanding of animal care and responsibility. I am experienced in feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with animals while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My lifelong experience around animals has made me dependable, patient, and attentive to the unique needs and personalities of each pet. I am a third grade teacher and have a plenty of time off in the summers! I love animals and would love to have a part in taking care of your furry babies. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of acreage, and live on a safe drive with very minimal traffic. I take my dog for walks daily on our drive and we play in my backyard to get all of our energy out! I also can crate animals indoor and/or out with an extra large kennel in our fenced in yard!
About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure. I love sitting around enjoying time with my animals while I work so why not include others. I have friendly dogs of my own that love company and I live out in the country on 5 acres. My dogs love showing off their space.
About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs since I was a child, so working with animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have seven dogs of my own, which has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, ages, sizes, energy levels, and individual needs. My experience includes feeding and maintaining routines, walking and exercise, potty breaks, crate routines, playtime and enrichment, basic oral medications, and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. Managing a large pack has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog’s behavior, comfort level, and personality. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I will treat every pet I care for with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work as an independent DoorDash driver, which allows me to create my own schedule and gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. I can plan my DoorDash hours around my Rover bookings, allowing me to prioritize the pets in my care and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and extended care. Because my work schedule is flexible, I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s normal routine and needs. I also care for my own dogs daily, so pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I understand the importance of consistency, regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention. My goal is to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible, rather than expecting your pet to adjust to mine. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I have a fully fenced-in backyard with three security cameras, which provides additional monitoring and peace of mind. Dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime. I have seven dogs of my own, so I’m experienced with managing a multi-dog household and paying attention to each dog’s personality, boundaries, and comfort level. Introductions are handled carefully, and dogs can be separated when needed so everyone has their own safe and comfortable space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their normal routine and follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any household or safety rules. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and closely supervised environment where every pet is treated like family.
About: I have a Great Dane lab mix she very energetic, loving, and playful with every animal. I have dog sat for friends and family I have experience in dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and fish. I have an open schedule I stay at home with my dog Gemini and I’m trying to get back into dog sitting and it would also be a plus because she loves making new friends. I live in an apartment. We have a fenced in dog play ground and I take my dog for walks I would take them for walks a well and Gemini get 1 Jr outside to do her business and play and she has a regular potty break every two hours some times it’s cut down on time if she hasn’t been feeling well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Florence
Jamie, did a wonderful job with our two dogs during her drop in visits. When we returned home they were both relaxed and happy, which does not happen when boarding them. She gave us peace of mind while we were on our trip and always sent us good pictures so we could see that they were doing well.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Florence is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 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 80 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Florence. 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 .
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.

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 .
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.
