Dorjee was everything we could ask for in a sitter. She was reliable, smart, conscientious, and Olive adored her. We would most definitely hire her again. Thanks Dorjee!

Our dog and cat Cooper and Lucky both adore Annika and we always feel like they are left in fantastic animal loving hands when we are away. They couldn't be cared for any better. She is fabulous!

About: I have always loved and lived with pets. Growing up we had multiple cats and a dog or two at any given time. In high school, I convinced my mom to foster a litter of kittens for our local humane society and we ended up caring for litters and kittens and puppies as well as seniors and sickly dogs for years to come. Right out of college I adopted my cat, and she has been my constant companion ever since. A decade later I rescued a very reactive dog and worked for 5 years on his reactivity. We made great improvements together! If you need someone to walk your reactive dog during the day, I’m your gal! I’d also love to care for your chill, non-reactive dog when you go out of town. I have a very active toddler, so I can only board dogs who are reliably safe around small children. I am available Monday-Thursday from 9-3 for drop ins and dog walks, with some flexible availability on the weekends too. Available for boarding as well this winter I have a large fenced portion of my back yard, as well as easy access to the bike path. We have some baby gates in our house, and more in storage, if that makes sense to make your pets comfortable.

Hallie was great! Initially, we had to book someone quickly because our original care fell through. Hallie was immediate to respond and easy to chat with. She asked questions to be sure she could best care for our pup. She was on time with check in’s and responsive during and after her checks. Sandi seemed to really enjoy meeting her and we will definitely be asking Hallie to check in on Sandi again!!!

Lizzy warmed up to Hannah right away, which was unusual but so so welcoming. Hannah definitely seems to very well-versed in making animals feel comfortable, and communicating with her was easy, kind, and hassle free, especially for someone like me, who struggles from social anxiety. Thank you Hannah! I will definitely be seeing if she is free in the future when I need a sitter.

About: Hi, I'm Caroline! I'm the youngest of a big family, and we've had many pets (mostly dogs and cats) growing up. I'm very active and love going on long walks with dogs. Throughout my adult life, my friends with pets have relied on me to take care of them while they’re away. I’m also always attentive to pets who have anxiety and make sure to give them the extra love and cuddles they deserve. Most of my availability falls on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. I'm open to dog walking, dog sitting (drop-ins and overnights if need be) at the client’s house. There are currently no pets living in my house, but when my friends leave me with their pets, they are guaranteed to get all of the positive attention and love they need to be happy. At a client’s house, I would make sure their pets receive this kind of attention, while also allowing them to be comfortable in their own homes; I would pay close attention to the pets’ moods and energy levels, playing with them when energy levels are high and also giving them time to relax and be calm when need be too. Above all, safety would be my top priority.

Alexio is fantastic with my pets. My dog Sophie is a bit of an anxious pup and Alex has many training tricks up his sleeve to keep her comfortable and calm. When he has watched Sophie and my cat Romeo he has gone above and beyond his requested duties. My pets love him and so do I. I will continue to contact Alex first to watch my fur babies any time they need it.

About: I was blessed with a feline friend at the age of 2. Although I do not remember all of our times together, she has been by my side through all of life's up's and down's. We have even experienced the responsibility of sharing our home with 2 more companions: a Maltese and a Chihuahua! It is quite a random pool of different beings! Nevertheless, we all seem to get along. I do all I can to ensure their well being is top notch. You really grow a love for your companion(s) and it's hard to not care for them. I am full time and have no restrictions to my schedule. I am available as early as 6:00am and can accommodate appointments during sundown. I am easy to communicate with and straightforward with negotiations. It is a dogs fantasy: a large neighborhood with quiet streets to explore, 2 nearby parks to frolic and play, with a dog park frequently visited by other furry friends and their owners.

About: I’ve worked with animals for 10 years, starting as a dog groomer and day-care worker! I have done house and animal care for the last five years as a way to hang out with pets while I can’t have my dog with me. I am happy with all breeds and ages of animals, and love to be active and outside so if your dog loves a good walk I will be their friend! I’m currently working part time so I have lots of flexibility. I work in the evenings Thursday-Sunday 4-7.30pm. I am a full time graduate student at Smith College so I am now on break! I am happy to follow your guidelines based on what your pet and home needs are. I can’t accept animals at my apartment. Happy to communicate with you about what you are looking for!

About: We have a combination of 20 years of lovingly caring for dogs of different personalities. We have a friendly and playful whoodle who will be happy to have a buddy for playing in the yard and who also doesn’t mind giving other dogs space if they are less playful. We also have 3 kids who love all dogs and happy to give some extra love. We are able to have a flexible work schedule and work from home. Feeding schedule can accommodate your dogs typical routine and any medications as needed. Just let us know what you need and we can likely accommodate. I have a fenced yard and will consider any extra safety needs that your dog needs. Able to provide 2 walks a day, plenty of time outside and down time as needed.

About: I've taken care of and watched animals for practically my entire life, but the first time I had ever watched animals by myself was when I was around 10. I frequently watch and let my aunt's dogs out and have a cat of my own. I hope to have many animals someday! I am currently going to school full-time, but my classes only take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I will have plenty of time to hang out with your animal! I currently have a cat, so if your animal has an aversion to cats, I recommend booking someone else! My cat does not like other cats, but he has his own area, so they will not interact if I watch your cat in my home. If I pet sit at your home, I am accommodating to anything you need, whether staying over or just popping in to let them out!

About: I started my first dog walking business at the age of ten, “Paws on Petsitting” complete with business cards and all! I love to spend time outdoors and enjoy the fresh air and what better than to have the company of a furry friend?! I am a passionate caregiver and will never leave without a few extra treats and lots of belly rubs. If personal space is your pets MO, we can do that too! I love to get to know animals and their unique personalities and it brings me lots of joy in the day to get to give them company. Communication is a key part of my services and I want to make sure that both you and your pet are comfortable and confident! I am recent graduate from Hampshire College with a BA in photography and plant biology. That means that you will receive lots of pictures from our visit and that I am highly self motivated and communicative. I am a barista/waitress and generally can pet sit in the mornings/afternoons and am free to fill up my days off! Exercise is always a part of my day whether it just be a walk in the sun, or a trail run and I would love to bring your pet along. I am very reliable and working in the service industry for 8 years now I never leave a job unfinished or without double checking my work. I am sure to not only take general safety measures, but also leave a space clean and full of love!

About: I have had a deep love of animals as long as I can remember…This led me to receive my AVA certificate in 2020. I worked at a Tufts Clinic caring for animals both big and small gaining hands-on experience in total animal welfare. This time allowed me to gain an even deeper appreciation for our furry companions :) I’m currently taking classes and working part - time so I am pretty available throughout the weekdays. I am available on most weekends so please feel free to ask and I will let you know! I live in a large house with plenty of space for animals to explore and I also live in a community with great sidewalks and parks within walking distance from my home for your fur babies to play. At your house my attention is on your pet always. I grew up in a household where dogs and cats have always been an integral part of my life and I find a lot of joy in having them around :)

Another great experience with Sharene! We had scheduled a drop-in for a day when we'd be gone for a long time and then on the day of, we'd already left home when we realized we'd made a mistake and our pup could really use an extra drop-in sooner. We didn't expect it at all on such short notice, but Sharene was responsive and flexible and popped right over to be with our pup. Sharene saved the day and helped make a stressful moment become no big deal. Thank you again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Florence

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Florence on Rover is $19.07 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,219 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Florence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Florence stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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 dog, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Florence. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.

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.
