About: I have personally had pets since the day I was born, mostly dogs and cats, but also a snake and hamster, I started pet sitting when I was 14 and have experience with caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and horses. I know that your pet is a part of the family with a routine, personality, and individual needs so I am very conscientious about owner advice and instructions when it comes to their fur (or not so furry) baby. I love spending time with animals and where I live I can not unfortunately have dogs (I do have two cats though) so I feel the Oppertunity to walk dogs and do check ins on animals would be a fantastic way to get to spend time around them again. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of availability throughout the day and week to give your pets the time, care, and attention they deserve. Depending on the energy and type of animal as well as owner instructions I adjust my care schedule to thier needs. I either do drop in visits to a clients home or house sit in their home.
About: I have sitted both cats and dogs since I was a teenager in high school. Growing up in a small town where everyone knew you, everyone always asked me to watch their animals while they were away. I am a school teacher who wants to cat sit on the side. I have full availability due to summer break to give your animals all of my attention. I am happy to give your cats and dogs plenty of attention with snuggles and scratches, but I do understand if your cat/dog is someone who want to be left on their own!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards you name it. I’m very good with instructions, and follow them thoroughly. I will make sure your pet is happy :) I’m currently working part-time. I am also a college student, but my classes are online currently. I will have plenty of time to check on any pets, walk them, play with them. I am very patient and gentle with animals, and have a huge soft spot for them. Whatever I am instructed to do, I will make sure it will be done effectively
“I have large guardian breeds, and finding someone I trust with them isn't something I take lightly. Kate has consistently exceeded every expectation. She's calm, confident, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with dogs that can be intimidating to most people. What truly sets her apart is her proactive communication. I never have to wonder how things are going because she's already sent an update, photo, or thoughtful note before the question even crosses my mind. She treats communication the same way she treats pet care—with attention, professionalism, and genuine care. Kate has that rare combination of reliability and intuition. She notices the little things, anticipates needs, and makes both pets and owners feel completely at ease. Whether it's managing routines, handling strong personalities, or simply showing up consistently and dependably, she does it all with grace. My dogs don't hand out trust easily, and neither do I. Kate earned both. If Rover had a Hall of Fame, she'd be in it.”

About: My family has owned hunting dogs for years, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I’ve helped with training, reinforcing good behavior, daily walks, exercise, feeding, and plenty of affection. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and safety when caring for pets. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures or just wants extra cuddles and attention, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available at almost any time, as I don’t start school until August! I can stay over night on most weekends, but just check with me to be sure! I have a portable crate that can take small-medium dogs or cats on adventures! I can do walks, clean up, playtime, sleepovers and lots of cuddles!
About: I’ve lived on a ranch all my life so I have tons of experience with animals. My dad trained horses and dogs, I’ve grown up watching him. When I’m sad my dog brings me joy. Animals have never let me down. As of right now I have no job this summer but I did apply to be a day care worker from 8:30 to 5:30 Monday through Friday. I live on a ranch. One of my dogs live inside and the rest of my animals are all ranch animals. I have tons of different fencing options around my house. One of my dogs are overweight so she is on a diet, I understand what dogs can and can’t have.
“Tamaria kindly checked in on my cat when I needed someone very last minute over the holidays. She is extremely fast to respond and sends regular updates, including plenty of pictures. My cat is very shy around new people but warmed up quickly to Tamaria with a few treats of encouragement! I recommend Tamaria and will certainly reach out to her in the future.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every size .Neighbors, family, friends dogs. My son and I will take them on walks, feed and bathe them. I work full time and like to do this on the side since I dog sit sometimes for friends, family. My son LOVES cats and dogs and enjoys playing with them. His day is made anytime he sees a new pup when he comes home from school. I have a fenced yard and live in a neighborhood where we all look out for each other and our pets. Very friendly and small neighborhood.
About: Ive always had a passion for taking care of animals. I use to go around asking to play or to walk my neighbors dogs. Im super good with senior dogs. I have a 13 year old Boston terrier and a 7 year old long haired Chihuahua. i would love to work on this app full time and spend my days with all the animals on here. Im currently part time, so i will have all the time in the world to spend with your fur baby if needed! i can come anytime, anywhere! I show that im gentle and very loving with animals by making sure they have plenty of water, food, toys, walks, etc… i can show i care in many ways.

About: I’ve grown up with a dog all my life! I enjoy taking my dog for a walk, and I’m so excited to get started! I’m currently working a part time job, and I’m looking for extra cash before I head off to college! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule! I have grown up with a dog that loves to explore so I’m very experienced with dogs not always behaving! Ive always had to clean up after my dog so that wouldn’t be a problem!
About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.
“Chelsey was awesome checking in on Murph while I was out of town. She sent pics and descriptions of each visit which was very reassuring to me because it was my first time not boarding him. Murphy loves her and I felt very comfortable having him in her care. I will definitely be using her again!!”

About: I have worked with all kinds of pets over the years! I can administer medicine. I’m able to work with more aggressive breeds. I can even take your pup to our amazing dog park and ensure they have a great time. I work part time from home now, so I have a very open schedule! Mornings and overnights are definitely preferred from me, but I can always be flexible! I allow doggies on our furniture. I have space for crates if your dog likes to sleep in a crate at night. There’s no other dogs in my home, so they will receive full attention from me.
About: I love animals since I could remember. I would love to have a farm some day. I got my first dog when I was 8z I learned to give a bath, brush, potty trained, and taught few tricks. I am currently working as a teacher for special needs and deaf. I am hoping to be a teacher someday and I’m working on getting my certification. I have three fur babies: 2 dogs and 1 cat. I used to own a tortoise but I gave it to a science teacher who is teaching next to my classroom. I have a crate, 2 dog parks at my apartment.
About: I have had animals my whole life, my experience has entailed caring for dogs in their basic needs, maintaining training and working on other commands, as well as taking them to any appointments that were in order. I really enjoy time spent with dogs, and just like me I understand that most people consider their dogs to be family. I like meeting new dogs and learning all their little personalities. I would be great as a sitter or walker because I genuinely care about animals and feel that they make life so much more fun and enjoyable. I have experience with both larger breeds and small breeds so I am comfortable around all different kinds. I wish I could have more animals so this is the only acceptable alternative :)
About: I know that pets can become confused and upset while you are away. I will make sure their needs are met with compassion and love. I will spend whatever amount of time needed with them to assure they are happy and comfortable. I take care of my husband who is a disabled veteran and have free time to meet your pets needs, treating them as if they were my own We have two dogs and three mischievous cats. I'm available to take as much time as needed during visits to ensure all of their needs are met and they are comfortable and loved

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 4,375 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
