“Madison was great. I felt confident in her from the meet and greet. Madison is a genuine and honest person. She has a natural interest in cats, she wants to take good care of them and she does, taking no short cuts.”
About: I have had 9 dogs over the years as pets between both of my parent’s houses. I pet sit a lot for friends, family, neighbors and from word of mouth! I’ve dog sat for as many as hot to 5 dogs at once, so more than one is not a big deal! I love to go for walks, especially if it’s nice and we can travel somewhere for a nice walk! One of my favorite things is snuggles while watching Netflix or doing homework! If you have cats, don't worry about it I love them too! I lived with my best friend for 6yrs who had 2 cats! The more the merrier! I am currently going back to school for my BSN. I am in online classes right now and work as an overnight aide in NICU at Virtua! I work 2 days a week and have a lot of open time! I work M/T and then have 9 days off, work fri-mon and have 7 days off and it just repeats. I know that can be confusing and overnights don’t work for some, so more than happy to chat about it in relation to what you need! :) I treat everyone’s pets as if they are my own. They get treated no different and if anything more spoiled because I know it’s hard having your humans leave you and having someone new around! Nothing but unconditional love!
About: Since sneaking an abandoned newborn kitten home at the age of 14, I’ve had the privilege of gaining a diverse range of experiences in caring for both cats and dogs. Last summer my angel (chunky cat in my photos) passed away at 11 years old from sudden health issues, given no option for treatment. He was like a son to me. I've found animals are the medicine to my grief and I'll gladly dedicate all of me to caring for your pet! Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to adopt, foster, and pet-sit countless times, demonstrating my knowledge and responsibility in caring for cats and dogs of all ages and in various conditions. My experience extends to puppy training and cat socialization, allowing me to provide comprehensive care for your beloved pet. With a deep passion for animals, I assure you that I will dedicate my utmost effort and commitment to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your precious baby(ies) I’m currently working towards an engineering degree through online learning from home, which allows me to have great availability. I’m reachable by phone at all times as well. I have a big house (and spare rooms) with a large fenced yard. My patience towards animals seems to never run out because I look at them and all I see is a pure soul and a big (or small) baby. Caring for pets isn’t a chore to me and you can fully trust me to stay attuned and send lots of pictures and videos, as well as the basics like feed, walk, play, administer medication (if needed) as many times as needed. My experience with animal care is very diverse and the chances are very slim to none that I’ll encounter something I haven’t handled before.
“Alyssa was always on time for the schedule I set and prompt with her report cards and photo's. She was very kind/courteous with my dogs during the Mee/Greet and made me feel very comfortable entrusting their care to her. I will definitely utilize her services again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always helped my family care for them. Over the years, I’ve had 7 dogs and 2 cats, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m available for evening check-ins and walks during the week, and I can also board pets on weekends. My schedule allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for every pet in my care. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, as well as one friendly dog and a cat who is used to being around dogs and gets along well with them. I can also crate your dog if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide.
“Marley was awesome with my cat! She stopped by every other day and took great care of him, and it was such a relief knowing he was happy and well cared for while I was away. My cat clearly felt comfortable with her, and I really appreciated how reliable and caring Marley was. I’d happily ask her to watch Avery again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter! 🐾”
About: I am a lover of all animals! I have had a passion for them ever since I was very young and strived to make a career out of it! As an adult, I have experience with both cats and dogs. I am experienced in administering medications oral and injections. I have actively volunteered at animal shelters comforting different breeds, big and small, playing, walking, cleaning up after them, or just giving them a friend to hang out with. In addition to my unique background, I have been in senior care for 8 years. I have experience with helping those elders in need including caring for their pets when needed. I run activity programs with seniors, which frequently includes pet therapy groups for sensory stimulation for elders. I currently work full time, but I am available all hours after work around 4:30 PM. My nights are rather quiet and always searching for something to do. My weekends are flexible so if you are in need of a weekend getaway, I can be there! Most of my holidays are open as well so your furry friend will be in good hands! I have experience giving medication to dogs and cats. I definitely enjoy having some down time with them but also making sure they get taken care of physically. I love playing with them
“I am thrilled with Ashley's caringness..and experience. She even got my cat to stop hiding. When I was away during the blizzard..she made sure she made it to my house. I feel at ease knowing Clay is in great hands. Thank you Ashley..”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family members when I was 10. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of labs, pitbulls, doodles, yorkies, and other small rescue breeds all ages from puppies to elderly. I’m looking for a job not only for some college money but also for some pet therapy. I can’t go home to see my own dog so it would bring me so much joy to take care of someone else’s. I am a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible. My schedule is very day to day Monday through Sunday but I have more than enough time to take care of animals for hours at a time if needed. I will follow any instructions given to me. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if it makes a mess, and I have definitely gotten some dogs in crates with some tricks. I will always make sure the house looks exactly how it did when I got there, and make sure the pup has a clean and comfy place to stay!
“Reggi was great with my cat Eliza! She sent lots of very enthusiastic updates about how Eliza was doing, along with photos so I could see for myself. She seemed very on top of things and let me know if anything was out of the ordinary. Reggi really went above and beyond, and I'd be happy to hire her again.”

About: I've taken care of my own dog since I was 8, I have started working at a dog daycare, boarding and grooming facility for over a year now. I have experience providing medication, potty breaks, treats, feeding and other tasks. I have also done at home daycare as well as overnight boarding at dogs homes. I have been around dogs of all behaviors and ages. I'm currently working part-time for other dog families. But I would happy to squeeze your pup in my schedule! I'm available most weekends.

About: My family and I have had dogs and cats a part of our family for my entire life. I have had dogs in the family since I was little; and most recently have had the pleasure of three lovely ladies; two of which we have raised from puppies. I can care for dogs both young and old, as well as cats. I also have cats in my family, including some with health issues. My life revolves around my pets, and I’d love for your pets to be a part of that too! I’m working part time currently, as well as completing my high school education, but other than that my schedule is pretty open; specifically in afternoons or weekend mornings! I have crated dog experience, hyper dog experience, older dog experience, big/heavy dog experience, dog and cat interaction experience, and multiple dogs in a household experience.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Florence
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience with Sydney and couldn't be happier with the care our two dogs received! From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely love animals and take great pride in providing exceptional care. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Both dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and it was obvious they received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Managing two dogs can be a challenge, but she handled everything wonderfully and treated our pups as if they were her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, which says it all. We highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. We will absolutely book with her again in the future! 🐾🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 7,413 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 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 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.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
