Eryn took care of our three cats over a long vacation we took. She was reliable and consistent, and our cats seemed to really enjoy having her there. She was even able to get our very shy cat to warm up to her. She sent us pictures every day and a detailed summary of how they were doing. She even helped make sure the cats stuck to their own bowls during mealtime, a tricky task! We felt like our cats were in very good hands and next time we need the kitties checked in on during a vacation, we will definitely be contacting Eryn again.

About: I’ve spent over a decade helping dogs and the people who love them build better relationships. My background includes professional dog training, developing an animal-assisted intervention program in a special education school, working with therapy dog teams, supporting rescue dogs, and educating handlers using positive reinforcement methods. As a former teacher, I bring patience, observation, and a thoughtful approach to every dog I care for. I believe every dog is an individual, and I take the time to understand their personality, communication style, comfort level, and what motivates them. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping by for a visit, my focus is on more than just exercise. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals while providing enrichment, safe exploration, and positive interactions tailored to your dog’s needs. I love giving dogs the opportunity to sniff, explore, and enjoy the world while building confidence and trust. I have experience with puppies, adolescent dogs, senior dogs, and rescue dogs adjusting to new homes. I incorporate positive reinforcement principles, including concepts from Puppy Culture, to help puppies develop confidence, healthy habits, and a strong foundation. For dogs who enjoy adventure, I’m also happy to offer longer enrichment walks or easy hikes on dog-friendly trails (with owner approval). These outings are a great way for active dogs to get additional physical and mental enrichment while exploring safely at their own pace. As a dog owner myself, I understand that your dog is family. My goal is to provide the same thoughtful, reliable care, communication, and attention that I would want for my own dogs. I also have experience caring for cats, including living with a senior cat, and I understand that cats often need a different approach than dogs. I’m happy to provide thoughtful care while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. Every visit/ walk, you will get text updates and photos. As a pet mom myself, it always puts me at ease to see a happy picture while in the care of a trusted sitter or walker. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family members! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! ☺️ I currently offer walks/ hikes Mondays & Wednesdays: 9:45-12:30 Fridays: 9:45-11:15 I can do check-ins and occasional walks on scheduled weekends and evenings as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I believe every dog and cat is an individual, and I take the time to understand their routines, body language, personality, and needs before providing care. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely and maintain a safe, calm environment for your pet. I use thoughtful handling practices, pay attention to stress signals, and make decisions based on what is best for each individual animal. I always make sure they have fresh water upon return from our walk, and during check-in visits. As a longtime pet owner with dogs and a senior cat of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. I treat each home and pet with respect, provide reliable communication, and will always prioritize your pet’s well-being.

Jervilyn was wonderful with our two dogs! 🐕 We loved that she spent so much time interacting and playing with them. One of our dogs needed to be given medication and Jervilyn administered with no issues! Would definitely have Jervilyn drop in again!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life, and my family and friends look to me if they need me to dog sit (or pet sit) when they’re away or unavailable. I love animals, and so getting to take care of furry friends is an absolute treat!! I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets! I live in a family home with my dog daisy, who is very friendly and about 14 years old now. She never fails to be entertained, and I love her with all my heart. I will do the same for your pets :)

Kaitlin was AMAZING!!! She was available to help last minute, responsive and was overly helpful when last minute situations happened. Our animals were very happy upon return and Kaitlin wasn't afraid of our spirited kitty. We would refer Kaitlin any day along with hopefully using her again next time. Thank you so much Kaitlin ?

About: I take pride in my work and strive to treat each and every animal I care for as I would my own personal pets. I personally understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your furry family members and do my best to make the experience as amazing as possible for both pets and pet parents. I have worked in the pet care industry for over ten years now. I began dog walking in NYC, then managed a luxury boarding/daycare facility for dogs in East Syracuse. Since then I have also branched out into working in animal rescue as well. I also am currently pursuing a certification in dog training. I currently work for myself so my hours are flexible. I can accommodate dog walking most mornings, afternoons and nights. I currently offer in home boarding but limit it to three dogs per night to ensure the best quality of care. I understand that allowing someone into your home to care for your pet can be nerve racking, so I strive to be as mindful of this as possible. Some of the ways I ensure I do this are by speaking with the client before hand to go over anything specific they need done, entering the home in a safe and respectful manner, greeting the pet I'm caring for with enthusiasm, creating a bond with them & making the experience as fun and stress free as possible.

Michael took care of our dog for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. We had him do drop in visits twice a day and he was amazing. He also watered our outdoor plants and did anything else we asked! He was responsible and very caring. Our dog absolutely loves him! We will call on him every time we go away. Thank you, Michael, for taking such good care of "our girl"!

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. With many years of experience caring for animals, I am confident in my ability to provide attentive, compassionate care to your fur babies! I am available in the mornings and early afternoons for pet check-ins, walks, and other care needs. Additionally, I am available after 5pm on weekdays for any evening care, ensuring pets receive attention at the end of the day. 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. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home or mine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Florida on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,250 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Florida. 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 Florida 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.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Florida. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
