About: I have had 4 large dogs of my own, and cared for countless neighborhood and friends' dogs in my adult life. I am comfortable and have experience with administering meds, monitoring health, following through on training, and simply loving up dogs as I am known as the "dog whisperer" amongst those who know me! I work from home and I am an empty nester with my own giant breed senior dog who doesn't love walking much anymore so I would love to get out and about with other dogs who could use some attention during the work day! I have a screened in lanai and I have gates/doors within my all tile home in order to keep dogs separated when necessary. All dogs are leashed when outside of my home or lanai.
“Allison did a fantastic job visiting our cat while we were gone - she was prompt, and gave Luna lots of love, sent us some great pics, and even washed her food bowls! We can’t wait to book her again!”
About: Love animals and have always had dogs. Most recently, my 14 year old retriever taught me all the tricks to get picky pups to take their pills. I have a fenced in yard and love taking furry friends for walks. My husband and I currently work 8 to 5 during the week and are off on weekends so there is plenty of time for pet care/love. I have a fenced in yard and live on a dirt, dead end street, perfect for walks. No other pets in the house currently. We could also stay at your place if it’s easier for your dogs (mine was a home body so I can relate).
“Maria is the best! This is the 3rd time I have used her. My dog Echo is so comfortable around her and is happy to see her. I don’t worry about leaving Echo when Maria is taking care of her.”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats and birds my whole life. Within the last decade or so I’ve turned to reptiles and chickens. I’ll help with any pet, any age, and follow and special instructions when given them. I work full time mornings and available every evening and days off to take care of the needs of the animals in my care that day. I take extra precautions, give a lot of attention to details about the animal in my current care, and I’m very communicative to the owners.
“Im so grateful to have hired Cristin to look after my cat, while I was away. She loved and cared for my cat, sent pics and kept me updated on her care. There was a brush fire in the area and Cristin let me know that everything was good, when you are thousands of miles away worried...Cristin kept me calm..I absolutely will book her again for my next travels. Thank you so much! ...and thanks to Rover, no stress!”

I'm available on weekends after 12pm I have a fenced yard, a pool and a friendly dog that will keep company to your pup. I have a car that i can pick and drop them off.
“Amanda took such amazing care of my English bulldog while I was gone! I’m so happy to finally have found someone I can trust to come into my house and look after my baby! Amanda was prompt, quick to respond, and sent lots of pictures showing me everything was going well! Will definitely be using Amanda for future out of town trips!! :)”
“Macie is amazing! We had a great experience with her during drop-in visits for our dog, Faye. Communication was perfect every step of the way, and she kept us informed with helpful updates and plenty of adorable photos. Faye was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We are so grateful for her excellent care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! My names Allison. Im currently living in Vero and Melbourne. I take house sitting jobs in the Vero beach and Melbourne area. I have been taking care of all different types of animals all my life. From taking care of baby kittens to taking care of a new born puppy. Birds and reptiles as well. I love all animals and treat all animals the same. I am currently living in Vero Beach part time sitting for clients from as north as Melbourne FL, and I’m now taking care of my father and currently helping care for my moms seven animals. I am now looking to help others take care of their fur babies when needed. I’m free all the time and would love to take care of more animals. I take care of my pets daily from the minute. I wake up so the minute I go to bed. Both of my cats at home follow me everywhere and love their cat room that I made for them. I play with them daily and even make cute little projects for them. My most recent one was a little box for my one cat that wouldn’t let me get rid of a delivery box. I have had to give medication to animals as well. I’m very good at it and know how to administer medication‘s properly. I’ve also taken care of animals that have walking issues that are having issues with going outside. Many years of different types of animal care.

About: I’ve rescued all kinds of animals since i was about 8 years old from dogs and cats to squirrels and raccoons. My love for animals is very high and I would love to incorporate them into my daily routines. I’m currently working a part time job at a school but it’s only in the morning so my availability is pretty flexible and open throughout the day. By caring for pets in my clients homes I would look out for a list of special directives when walking into the home and wondering what you can do to make sure nothing is done wrong.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have watched other family and friends dogs and cats. I love caring for animals of all kinds. I currently work part time as an esthetician and have off Saturday to Monday, sometimes I’ll have off additional days during the week depending on my schedule and don’t currently work long hours so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I care for pets in my clients home as if they were my own. I follow owners requests and pet’s schedules such as potty breaks, feeding times, any medications, or exercise. At my home, I have a fenced in backyard with no pool and no children.
About: i’ve taken care of all different types of animals and rescued more then i can count i love animals so much so that’s part of the reason i’m here also to pay with school i can take care of animals all day i do school from home so that’s another reason why i wanted to try this app i feel like i’d be a very good fit i have a fenced in yard and a open home i’m often in my room doing school and when im not i’m always taking care of my plants so the animals will most likely just be chilling sleeping in my room and then go outside with me in the fenced back yard
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve always had at least two or three dogs of my own, and I’m currently a proud dog mom to three wonderful pups: a Maltipoo, a French Bulldog, and a mixed breed. Between the three, I have firsthand experience caring for small, medium, and large dogs! Over the years, I’ve also been the go-to person for friends, family, and neighbors whenever they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I also work professionally as a Marketing Manager in the pet industry, so pets are a huge part of both my personal and professional life! As a French Bulldog owner, I’m especially familiar with the unique needs of flat-faced breeds, including their sensitivity to heat, breathing concerns, and exercise limitations. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, walks, or simply spending some quality time with your pets while you’re away. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their regular routines, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs. As a lifelong dog owner, I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of love, patience, and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, and I always respect that. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit or spending extra time keeping your pet company, my priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands!
About: I have been periodically dog sitting for family friends for about the last six years. I have experience with cats as well. I know how to feed, let out, walk, play with, administer medication to and clean up after both dogs and cats. I also really enjoy the job and helping people out in general. I am currently in flight school, so my schedule is all over the place. However, I have a lot of time that I do not need to be on campus/at the airport. I am on a block style schedule so the days of the week I am "on" shift and rotate a bit, but I am more than happy to work out what's best if you reach out. I will always treat your home as if it was my own. I take great care of my home and I wouldn't dream of bringing any harm to yours.
“Nicole was incredibly flexible and helpful, bending to my hectic schedule. She was on time and my cat boys absolutely loved her. They were in the best of care and I highly recommend Nicole!”

Simply put, Christie is AWESOME! I had to change my schedule and check-in times a couple of times, and she was so sweet, understanding, and accommodating every single time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Florida Ridge is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 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 November 2026, there are 875 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Florida Ridge. 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 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 Ridge. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
