About: Hi, fellow dog lovers! 🐾❤️ Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have over 7 years of experience watching dogs, walking them, and making sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. I understand that your dog isn't just a pet — they're family! That's why I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want someone to give my own furry family member. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing and getting extra cuddles, I'm happy to make them feel right at home. I'm attentive to each dog's unique personality, needs, and routine because I know every pup is different. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away.

I also have flexible availability on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, I’m comfortable making pet care part of my routine and ensuring every pup gets the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. 🐾 With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand how important it is to make every pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have two dogs of my own, so I know firsthand that pets are family and deserve plenty of attention, patience, and care.

About: I have 2 yr old golden retriever that I got as a puppy. He’s the best dog! We even have 2 kittens and he’s so gentle with them and patient. I have been around dogs and walked dogs or babysat them for 20 years. Beau is happy and spoiled. I am finishing my real estate training so I am home much more than I used be with 9-5. My pets get more attention and my dog has the ability to go outside more. More walks. I can help with your pets because my schedule is very flexible. I respect a home owners privacy and security and only need to access the pets. I have my own home and understand security concerns. No record.
“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!!!”
About: I have been an animal owner and lover my entire life. I have cared for dogs, cats, and even chickens! I am to keep your fur babies, happy, healthy, and comfortable. I am practically free in the mornings and anytime after 7 most days. Weekends are also free so call me up for some last minute help! I love my animals and have them around all the time. We take them on walks frequently, let them run outdoors, have plenty of play time and don’t forget snuggles!
“Hello Amy !! I’m soooo happy he finally came out to play !! Txs for the pictures too !! BTW.. I forgot to mention that the trash can is on the far side of the garage but ur welcome to leave it just outside the laundry room door (ie in the garage) Many Thanks ;)”
About: Hi! I’m Aubrey, a lifelong dog lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for pit/staffy mixes and senior dogs. My journey started at 16 with my first dog, Diesel, a pit/lab mix who is now a happy senior. When I moved into my own place, I welcomed Crowley, a staffy/pit mix. Caring for two dogs over the age of 10 has taught me the perfect balance of keeping up with active play, enjoying brisk walks, and providing plenty of cozy cuddle time. What I offer your dog: Bully Breed & Senior Care Experience: Experienced with big dogs, strong pullers, and the gentle patience senior pups need. Active & Affectionate: Plenty of walks, playtime, and lap-snuggles tailored to your dog's energy levels. Attentive & Reliable: Deeply familiar with dietary routines, health needs, and safety. Daily Updates: Clear communication and photos so you always know your pup is in good hands. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! As of right now I’m on disability from work so I have a lot of time during the day! I go to PT once or twice a week, work on schoolwork, walk my own dog typical 2x a day. If I house sit I’d have to come to your home as my dog is not friendly. I can be highly accommodating to your and your pets needs
“I reached out to Kassandra for drop in visits for my five cats while I went on a trip. I was a little nervous leaving them in a strangers care but when I met her for an initial visit I immediately knew they were in good hands. I got updates and pictures multiple times a day and even my scaredy cat came around her. She followed their usual routine to a T. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life for the past 17 years, and I can’t imagine it any other way! I’ve gone through 3 puppy stages and training for a crate and house-training. I’ve also had senior dogs as those puppies got older. I’m available for boarding on weekends, or during the week if they’re used to their owner going to work during the day. I’m available anytime after 5pm during the week for any walks or potty-breaks. I have over 1,000sq ft. In my apartment and plenty of space in the complex to go on long walks! I have enough space in my apartment to accommodate large crates as well for boarding.
“Andrea is great at communicating. Everything went smoothly. Loved that she sent pictures. I will definitely request her again and trust her completely. You can tell she loves her furry clients!”
About: I've had dogs most of my life and have cared for dogs weeks at a time for years. Trusting your dog in a loving home is my care. I work full time during the week.

I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I dog sit for my aunt all of the time and I care for my sisters dogs often.

One of my three cats needed medical attention during my absence and Payton got her promptly to the vet. Thanks to Payton, the cat's back to her "normal" self. She kept me well informed of what was happening and followed up with feedback from the vet and her own observations. Definitely giving Payton a solid 10, and I am about to book her again for my next trip.
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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 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 2,098 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Florence. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 .
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.
