About: I too am a dog parent. I know it’s difficult to maintain a full schedule and also give your pet extra love throughout the day. Prior to working remote, I was fortunate to work close to home and was able to visit my pups during the day. I am aware that isn't possible for everyone. I would like to extend help to other dog parents that do not have the same luxury. I am the kind of person that will stop someone walking their dog so I can meet & pet their "fur"son. I believe that pets are people too and they deserve kindness, treats, hugs and kisses and of course lots of love. I will gladly take time out of my day to help out a pup that needs a walk :) I work remote and have flexibility in my day which would allow me to take your dog for a walk or do a drop-in to let them outside. I am very protective of my pups and would be the same for your dog as well. My property is secure with full fencing and locked gates
“Emily did an EXCELLENT job with our 2 pups! She spent at least 30mins with them each visit, did everything we asked of her (as far as feeding, playtime, etc), sent us regular updates & pictures after each visit… just FANTASTIC! It was our first time using the Rover app so we were a little apprehensive but Emily put all our concerns at ease. Each of our dogs have very unique personalities but Emily bonded with them from our first meet & greet visit. We hope she’s available the next time we’re in need of pet care!”
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to family members, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, giving lots of attention, and following each pet’s normal routine. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your dog like they’re part of the family. I also work from home, which gives me flexibility and allows me to be very attentive to the pets in my care. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available for potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention, and I can usually accommodate weekday and weekend bookings. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and do my best to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care.
“I've used Chloe several times and she does a great job! She is always on time and sends great feedback and pictures. I know my dog is well taken care of. I will definitely use Chloe in the future!”
About: I love going on nature trails or local paths as I exercise. Your pup will enjoy brisk walks with me and not feel cooped up. I teach Monday-Friday, but I’m free most weekends. Throughout the day I have plenty of time to cater your fur baby and give attention to him or her. I have a small 2 bedroom home and patio door leading to my fenced in backyard. I am able to play and monitor your pup.
About: Responsible and compassionate, I am a 27-year-old dog lover with extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As the owner of a German Shepherd for the past seven years, and through fostering and adopting other dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of canine care and behavior. I also worked for over a year at My Three Dogs daycare and boarding facility, supervising groups of 30+ large dogs. Passionate about animals and the outdoors, I bring reliability, patience, and genuine care to every dog I work with. Im free any day of the week for services. Im a big outdoor person and have a passion for dogs and what they are in need of. I have a big fenced in yard for your pet to run around in. My dog will also keep your pet company and occupied while I'm there.
About: I have always been drawn to animals. Since I was a little girl, I've cared for all types of animals, except spiders and snakes!! I have trained a boxer/blue heeler, mini pinscher, poodle, and jack russells. Senior dogs have also been in my care. I also enjoy walking dogs. My daily schedule is flexible because I am caring for my disabled child, who also loves animals. I would be open to weekly and weekend availability. I am reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and professional. Safety is my 1st concern and I would care for your fur babies as though they are my own.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Florence is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 76 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
