“Suzanna was great! She was very clear with communication and was easy to reach/quick to respond. She sent updates and pictures when she stopped in to check in on the kittens and made sure that they felt at home! I would highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. I remember getting my very first puppy as a kid. Dogs have always been my best friend and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I work from home so I can be available for the times you need for me to watch your best friend. My doggie always has care if I need to be gone. My dog goes to doggy daycare to meet new friends and be friendly around other people and other dogs. We go on walks twice a day and even something three times a day. I will give your best friend lots of cuddles.
About: Hi! My name is Malia, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life and have been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for over 5 years. Over the past year, I’ve expanded my pet-sitting experience throughout Northern Kentucky, caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, as well as rabbits and even three horses! I’m currently 24 years old and in doctorate school for Occupational Therapy at Northern Kentucky University. I’m responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! ❤️ I'm currently a full-time doctorate student, so I do have to attend classes for a few hours about 3 days a week. I am available for overnights 7 days a week, and will make it a priority to stop in between classes to check in on the pets and ensure they are taken care of! I prioritize safety, comfort, and communication when caring for every pet. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and treat every client’s home with respect. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will regularly keep you updated with visits and can follow whatever special instructions necessary! I’ll treat your pet like family and hopefully keep them from missing you too much. I have a background in teaching swim, which has taught me lots of patience, responsibility, and carefulness. While I am currently away at school, at home I took care of my 2 dogs - feeding them daily, walking them twice a week, and bathing them biweekly. This was part of my responsibilities at home and still help with them when I go home to visit. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will do my best to ensure they feel comfortable and are sticking to their normal routine. I will respect your, and their space and give them lots of love!
“Dawn did a good job with my dogs. She was available on last minute notice when my flight home cancelled, she kept me updated on how the dogs were doing, and she sent me a picture of them in the back yard. I will use her again.”
About: I have trained a seeing eye puppy and I have 6 years of experience dog sitting. Also, I am working towards training my dog to be a therapy dog to bring into practice with me! I am an Occupational Therapy grad student so I will be available to sit on weekends and some weekday nights but I can be flexible! I make sure your doggies have everything they need like water, food, and lots of loving. I absolutely LOVE playing with them, getting them outside, and I always make sure to take them outside to potty before I leave!
“Emily is fabulous with our dog, Milo. She also did a great job caring for my mom’s dog who is staying with us. She came on time, took the dogs for a walk (even in the heat!), and sent photos and great communication. We love having Emily help us when we’re away!”
About: Hi, I’m AJ, a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had pets since childhood and have house-sat for neighbors, family, and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I’ll provide attentive care, keep your pets happy and comfortable, and ensure your home stays safe and well-maintained. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you always know how things are going. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets—feel free to reach out! My 9-5 job is fully remote, which means I’ll be around to keep your pets company throughout the day. I’m available most days of the week and am happy to travel and stay in your home to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I live in a quiet, two-bedroom condo with no other pets, making it a comfortable space to board cats and small/medium dogs. Since I work from home, I can provide plenty of attention all day, and take your dogs outside regularly for walks and fresh air. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, including crating if needed. I also offer house sitting to keep your pets comfortable in their own home while you’re away.
About: I’ve been pet sitting professionally for around 5 years now and am very comfortable with most kinds of animals. I have experience in training pups, senior care, and medication administration. I’ve cared for animals with tumor-induced epilepsy, blastomycosis, diabetes, recovery from surgery, etc. In other words, I am prepared to care for your animal in whatever capacity they require. I work a part-time position that requires Saturday evenings and at least one 8 hour shift in the morning through the week. Other than that, I am available to be with your companions at all times of the day as per need. I will care for your pet in whatever capacity necessary. If they must be crate trained at night, fed daily medicine, diaper changed, regular training practice in basic skills (sitting, etc.), frequent walks, bathed, trimmed, I'm your girl. I’ll do my best to make them comfortable with me and happy in your home (even if that means love from a distance for some of our timid fellas).
“We are repeat clients of Aubrey, but it’s our first time leaving our pet since she’s needed to administer medication. Everything went great! We look forward to booking Audrey again for our next trip out of town.”
About: I have grown up and owned animals all of my life including dogs, cats, cows, chickens, sheep, rabbits, and hampsters! I am young and looking to walk and care for your pets! Pet care will fit perfectly into my routine of nursing school and I am excited to work with anyone to fit their pet care needs and wants! My roommates and I own a male siamese cat, keeping our home very pet friendly. I also have grown up with animals my whole life and have a special place for them in my heart.
“Abby did a great job caring for my dog Samson while I was on vacation for a week. She was able to accommodate some last minute requests for me as well. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve had a dog for 12 years, so I’m experienced when it comes to taking care of dogs! I have experience walking and pet sitting for my friend’s dogs as well. I love all types of dogs. I want them to have the most positive experience possible! I work full time, but I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I’m looking to walk dogs after the work day or on weekends. I can also pet sit and/or check in on pets on weekends/Mondays/Fridays. I would love to hangout with your pet(s) and give lots of cuddles. I enjoy being active, so would have no problem taking your pet(s) on long walks and playing with them.
“Katelyn was fantastic with our dogs! She graciously accepted our request on very short notice, and came over to meet them before checking in on them later. She gave updates with pictures and made us feel reassured that our dogs were in great hands!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for friends of the family for years. I have taken care of solo dogs, two dogs, and three dogs. I always give the dogs the attention and time they need. I always keep the owners in the loop and send updates. I am currently working full time in a remote position. My remote position involves being in an approved location with my work so I unfortunately will not be able to spend the work day with pets during the week. I am available on weekends. I will not be caring for pets in my home. I have taken care of pets in their own homes and I always follow the instructions set forth

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Florence
Tiarra is an absolute blessing! I cannot say enough amazing things about Tiarra. This was my first time ever using Rover and my first time leaving my dog, KoKo, in the care of someone outside of the two family members who normally watch her. If they weren’t available, I would simply take her with me. Both of KoKo’s trainers had encouraged me to work on detaching a little more and allowing other people to care for her, so I decided this long weekend would be the perfect opportunity to try. The person I originally had arranged to watch KoKo cancelled on me the Sunday before I was leaving. By Monday, I was completely stressed because I was flying out Friday. My cousin had always recommended Rover, so I downloaded the app and came across Tiarra. From the moment I reached out, Tiarra was incredible. She was extremely responsive and immediately offered to come do a same day meet and greet with me and KoKo before I even booked. That meant so much to me because I was understandably nervous and wanted to make sure KoKo and I felt comfortable. When she came over, I walked her through KoKo’s routine, and she immediately put me at ease. She was professional, patient, open, receptive, and genuinely understanding of the fact that this was a completely new experience for both KoKo and me. She made the entire process feel so much easier. While I was away, her communication and daily check in notes were TOP NOTCH. Detailed, thorough, everything! She kept me updated, was incredibly responsive, and never made me feel concerned. She didn’t just come in, do what she needed to do, and leave either. She actually stayed for the full visit I paid for, took her time, and genuinely cared about KoKo. That speaks volumes about her character and the way she approaches her work. What impressed me most was her transparency, honesty, professionalism, and integrity. She was communicative throughout the entire process, receptive to adjustments, and truly made me feel like KoKo was in good hands. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was being cared for by someone I could trust. Tiarra completely exceeded my expectations. She took what started as a very stressful, last-minute situation and turned it into such a positive experience. My first experience with Rover could not have gone better because of Tiarra. I will absolutely be using Tiarra again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, communicative, professional, caring, attentive, and has genuine integrity. Tiarra, thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby girl KoKo and for giving me peace of mind while I was away. You are truly a blessing, and I’m so grateful I found you! I couldn’t recommend her more!
Thanks for everything this last week! You’ve been amazing. Thanks for all the pictures and the toys you left for them. You really didn’t have to do that but it’s much appreciated! I’m sure the toy truck was just a result of some anxiety from being left home alone. I hate leaving them home like that but having someone like you stop by sure helps. And it looks like Petey warmed up to you pretty well!
Laura has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She does weekend check-ins and walks for us, and I genuinely couldn’t ask for anyone better. My dog can be a little more challenging than most, but Laura is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and attentive with him. She really takes the time to understand his personality and needs instead of just going through the motions. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she works with, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated. She goes above and beyond every time.
Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Florence is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 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 of October 2026, there are 2,026 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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 Florence 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 .
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.
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 .
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 Florence 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 , 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.
