“We had a really great experience with Nicole! Our dog can be a little nervous with new people, but she was patient and made us (and our dog!) feel comfortable right away.

About: I've loved taking care of dogs of all kinds of my own and friends and family from a young age! Currently I have a two at home and know how much of a part of the family they are. My goal is to meet your needs for your pups and keep them comfortable when you need to be away from home! I am currently a student and only working part time so have plenty of time in the mornings and late afternoon/evening to care for and check in on your pets! I am very open and flexible to you and your pets needs! Comfortable with crating your pup if needed or bringing them out for walks. My goal is to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable based on your routine!
“This was my first time using Rover & I happened upon Kat after pouring over all the sitters in my area. I knew right away she was who I wanted to take care of my fur babies when I’m out of town. After a meet greet the kitties and I loved her. She’s a vet tech by profession, animal CPR certified & a mom to many fur babies herself. I felt content & safe leaving my world in her hands & knew if there was a problem that she’d be able to use her skills, judgment and background to handle it. Bonus she sends pictures & videos & I loved this:)... I plan on utilizing her from here on out & you should too!! You won’t be disappointed!!”
About: Hello, I’m SirJahad! I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and feel confident that they received the same care, attention, and respect that I’d want for my own fur babies. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working a full time schedule. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Typically free Saturday & Sundays. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. During our meet and greet, I ask plenty of questions so I can follow your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your home remains secure, clean, and respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate anything that seems unusual.
“Zahira is the best! She was available on a whim and I always feel great about leaving our babies with her. She goes above and beyond with communication and updates and takes the absolute best care of our dogs! She’s basically Remy’s favorite person!”
About: I’ve had all types of animals growing up from fishes, turtles, cats, and dogs so I have plenty experience in caring for them. Family has trusted me to groom, feed, and walk their fur babies multiple times. I hope you can trust me to do the same! I’m currently only working, so I have plenty of time to be with your furbaby! I’m available on weekends at any time and on weekdays at anytime! I have a fenced yard with two dogs who are little and mighty and two cats who are very shy but friendly once they are comfortable! I can crate your dog if needed with no issue and can accommodate to your dogs needs.
About: Hi, I'm Shania! If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you've come to the right place. — I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a dog and a cat of my own, and my family has frequently cared for friends' pets while they were away. Those experiences taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. — I currently have a dog; his name is Sport, and he is 15 years old, so I understand how important patience, gentle care, and consistency are–especially with senior pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and naps, I'm happy to match their pace and make them feel comfortable. — When your pet is with me, they won't just be "watched." They'll receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and making them feel safe and happy is always my top priority. — I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your trip knowing they're in good hands. — I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️ 📆 I'm currently a full-time college student, but I carefully schedule my availability to ensure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. • Fridays and weekends are completely open for bookings. • During the summer, I'm available throughout the week as well. From 8 am to 10:30 pm. • I never overbook because I want every pet to receive personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. If you have questions about scheduling or special requests, feel free to message me! My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and very walkable, with plenty of grassy areas perfect for walks, sniffing adventures, and exercise. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first. I'll make sure they have a calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks or your cat prefers lounging in a sunny spot, I'll make sure they have a comfortable stay.
About: I was born and raised in Ukraine. My parents had a big house with big backyard, so we always had dogs and cats. Just like us, animals have their characters, they also get sick and do get old and more tender and fragile. Since I was a child I helped with care, feeding and sometimes even births of our animals. That taught me that just loving them is not enough! Care, compassion and respect are fundamental, when you own them or help someone with their furry babies! I am a responsible and caring person. Feeding, cleaning, playing, talking and sometimes listening to them, it’s all part of it! Give me a chance to become your pet’s friend. I’ll cherish them as my own! :) I have three human children and while they are in school, I’m all yours! Every day starting 9 am till 3 pm I can be a friend to your cat or dog. :) I have a fenced backyard that can easily accommodate 3 to 4 dogs! Am planing to get a crate, just in case it might be needed.
“Melissa was absolutely amazing while taking care of my two cats for a week. She was super responsible, reliable, and clearly really cared about them. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands the whole time. She kept everything clean, followed all the instructions, and made sure both of them were happy and comfortable. It honestly made being away so much less stressful. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter! 🐱💗”
“From the 1st meet and greet I knew that lisa was going to be a great fit. Teardrop connected with her from the start Lisa took great care of him and kept me updated with every visit. I would definitely recommend her and she will be my permanent go to anytime I need teardrop taken care of!”
“Chris was great! He communicated readily during the entire time we were away. We felt like our two cats were in great hands. We will definitely use Chris again when we go away.”

Pet 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
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Florence is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $36 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 7,656 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
