I love to take them on adventures in the car, to walking trails or lakes to engage with them! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday in office with one day to work from home. I can provide evening and night care, as well as weekends! I can be flexible as well to stop in at nights or early mornings for your pet needs. I am willing and able to house sit and adjust myself for your pet’s schedule and comfort. I have one dog and one cat in my home who are cared for around the clock. I love taking my dog for visits to different state parks or hiking trails!
About: I’ve had cats, dogs and many other animals my entire life and know how important it is that they get quality care and love! I have always cared for all other animals with love and attention as if they were my own whether they were strays or belonged to friends/family. I have dog-walked and pet-sat for friends and family whenever they have needed help, making sure their pets are well taken care of not just physically but emotionally (to the best of my ability!) while they are away. I have walked and pet-sat dogs of all kinds including puppies and senior dogs as well as disabled and special needs! I have also done feedings and general care for other animals including chickens, horses, goats, llamas, reptiles and others. Throughout my life I have rescued and/or taken care of a range of animals including kittens/cats, puppies/dogs, rabbits, chickens, raccoons, mice, opossums, birds, fish and reptiles.

I also offer overnight or weekend boarding, providing reliable care when owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor my services to meet the specific needs of pets and their owners, offering peace of mind and dependable support. When boarding pets in my home, I offer a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's needs. Depending on the pet's temperament and preferences, I can either crate them for security or allow them to roam freely in a designated pet-friendly area. I ensure that they have plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I’m committed to maintaining a routine similar to what they’re used to at home, including feeding schedules, exercise, and personal attention. If needed, I can also provide extra care, such as administering medications or offering special accommodations for senior or special-needs pets. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I focus on maintaining a familiar and safe environment for them. I will follow the established routines for feeding, walking, and any other care instructions provided. Whether it’s keeping them indoors, ensuring they have outdoor playtime, or administering any medications, I approach each task with responsibility and attention to detail.

About: About Me🫶🏻 Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I work remotely so I have plenty of time to give attention and love to your baby! I grew up in a household with large dogs and was involved in their daily care from puppyhood through their senior years. I have experience caring for dogs with health issues, including administering extra attention to senior and sick dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, whether that’s high energy playtime, structured walks, gentle senior care, or simply companionship and reassurance while you’re away. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. I truly can’t wait to meet your pup and spend time giving them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I’m self-employed with the ability to work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my days around your pet’s needs. My husband and I are both big animal lovers. We don’t currently have pets of our own, which is one of the reasons I’m so happy to be on Rover! I have lot of time, attention, and love to give to yours. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought, they’ll be a welcomed part of our daily routine while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. For walks and drop ins, I focus on safe outings, fresh food and water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m mindful of energy levels, weather conditions, or any special instructions you provide. For overnight care in your home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, walks or litter care, medication if needed, companionship, and ensuring your home is left clean and secure. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety, making sure to communicate with you so you have live updates on your baby🫶🏻 If your pet likes to go outside, I’m happy to take them for a long hike on trails in the area, or a normal leash, walk, whatever you would typically do with them! Whether care takes place in my home or yours, your pet will receive consistent attention, supervision, and love treated as if they were my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Florida is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $37 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 2,227 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Florida. 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 Florida. 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.
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.
