“Dylan is a great dog sitter. I have a little dog what does not like many people and though she was still scared she warmed up to Dylan and let him walk her. He provided great notes and daily updates. I am very hesitant with who I let watch my dogs but I will for sure be using Dylan in the future.”
“I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter! She came by three times throughout the day while I was away, walked my dog, and made sure she was well taken care of. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands and getting the attention and care she needed while I was gone. I really appreciate her reliability and the time she took to make sure my girl was happy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Baylie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur baby! 🐾❤️”
About: Currently in Dental Hygiene school, and looking to bring in a little bit of funds to help with school essentials and kids sports. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m a proud owner of two Great Danes, so I’m very comfortable handling large and giant breeds! I also previously worked as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their needs, behaviors, and overall well-being. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat every dog like they’re one of my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me flexibility throughout the week to provide walks certain days of the week, some drop in visits, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. As a pet owner myself and with my previous veterinary technician experience, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule to help them feel comfortable while their family is away. 🐾 I treat every pet as if they were my own! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while also respecting pets who prefer a little more space. With my previous veterinary technician experience, I’m comfortable caring for different breeds, sizes, personalities, and needs. Safety is always my priority, and I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
About: With 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I know how to keep your pup safe, happy, and well-exercised. Whether it’s a long walk, a quick potty break, or some extra playtime, I bring patience, reliability, and lots of love to every visit. Your dog will be in good hands, and paws! I work full-time Monday through Friday, and would be available on the weekends! Depending on the week you could catch me for a weeknight walk after 5pm! I keep my eyes on other pets we will encounter on walks, and make sure your pup is safe when passing others, crossing roads, and walking in general.
“Brandi and Cayden have been doing drop-in visits with our dog Opal for a week now. Opal is receiving all of the care, loving, and attention she could need. Brandi and Cayden are communicative, prompt, and very easy to work with.”
“As always Kathy and Jeremy took great care of our dogs. They were punctual and friendly. They kept us informed about our pets care through out their stay. Highly recommend.”
“Kateryna was wonderful. She followed instructions perfectly and went above and beyond when my dog got sick while I was out of town. I’ll definitely be using her again. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi! I’m 22 years old, happily married, and a devoted dog lover living in Lakewood Ranch. My two pups, Apollo and Zora, are my best friends, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, updates, and care throughout the day. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a big part of my daily life! As a work-from-home professional, I’m able to be around pets throughout the day and easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and lots of attention into my routine.

About: I’ve always had pets. I’m 56 years old and can’t think of a time without one. I have a senior dog who is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix who requires frequent potty breaks and takes medications and is on a special diet. I also have a 10 year old cat who is on rx food. I’m a nurse so I’m a natural care taker. I work remotely so am home to care for them all day. I am available evenings and weekends for drop in visits in your home or can watch small pets in my home any time. I currently work remotely and am home most of the day. Able to leave during the day to let your pet out if you live close enough. And any time after 4pm. My pets are spoiled. My dog is 13 years old and has some health conditions that require a special diet and medications. He also requires frequent potty breaks so I understand special instructions and will follow them religiously so routine is not broken. I understand how important a routine is for our pets.i am a safet nerd. So much so that my son ended up with a degree in occupational safety. So im religious about making sure no one escapes the house or is placed in any unsafe situations. I am living and kind and a natural caretaker.
“We can leave our cat Charlie knowing he will receive great care from Alana. She is responsible, always shows up on time and stays and plays with Charlie. She administers medication and is responsive to my concerns. We couldn’t get back due to the hurricane, no worries, Alana just extended her time caring for Charlie . Charlie is a shy cat and is reticent of people outside our family. Alana has built up trust and can easily pet and play with Charlie. A five star rating doesn’t cover her passion or dedication!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner who understands how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets. I’m Pet Sitters International certified, and I am insured. I have a medical assistant background, so I’m comfortable giving medications including injections and caring for pets who may need a little extra attention. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to adjust walks and visits to your pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home Monday through Thursday, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime walks and drop-in visits. Friday through Sunday I’m usually in the Gulf Gate neighborhood and can often accommodate visits there as well. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to work pet care around each pet’s normal routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. During drop-in visits, I also make sure pets are comfortable and secure before I leave, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. I’m comfortable adjusting care based on age, energy level, personality, and any special instructions you provide.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Hamer
Amanda was great with our two Cats. One of our cats went into hiding at the end of our trip and Amanda stayed lingering just to make sure she got eyes on the cat before leaving. The cats and our house were left exactly as we left it, clean and happy. Thank you Amanda for the great job.
Haley was amazing at taking care of Bailey (he’s a 19 year old dog). We had a family emergency and I booked with less than 48-hours notice this time. Haley reached out within minutes and accepted the booking. I then needed to extend my booking and Haley was able to help out and approved the extra booking. We have used Haley multiple times and have nothing but a positive experience!
After my regular cat sitter had to cancel before a 2 week trip before the holidays, I discovered Rover.com, which led me to Bryana. Our meet-and-greet went well, so headed off with confidence. It was well placed! Bryana looked after my (3) cats, cared for them and kept me posted with regular emails and photos. I can’t recommend Bryana highly enough…or Rover.com!
Juliana was so great with our two kitties! She was generous enough to watch them over the Christmas holidays for us, and went above and beyond to keep our place clean while we were gone. We had two mixup packages she took care of for us, she set up our new cat toy that arrived late, and was great at keeping us updated on the cats while we were gone. She gave us such great piece of mind. The cats loved her, we would happily hire her again. We highly recommend Juliana!
Hector was the perfect fit for our two large dogs. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. He gave medications, took them on walks, and even helped clean up after they got sick. We loved the check-ins and our boys loved having him stop by! Thanks, Hector!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
