“First time we've used Rover.com. Ashley was immediately responsive and made quick plans to get together with me to discuss the pet-sitting needs of Scruffy Miles and the G Pigs. She was also flexible about ensuring access to the animals during my absence. My house was left in excellent, clean condition upon my return which elevated my opinion of her services even further. And, of course, certainly appreciated the Rover cards which were natural, heartwarming, and instilled confidence my beloved animals were in very caring hands. Hope to use her again !!”
“Constance is super flexible and extremely good with communication. She did more than what was asked of her with each visit and made sure to keep me informed every step of the way. I completely trust her with my cats and will definitely continue to be a repeat customer. ❤️”
About: Hi, I’m Cade! I’m a cat dad to Clifton and Milton, and I’ve raised Clifton and Milton since they were young kittens. Caring for my own cats has taught me how much their routines matter—and that attention sometimes means playtime and sometimes means giving them space. I offer cat drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. Whether your cat greets me at the door or prefers to watch from a distance, I’ll let them get comfortable at their own pace. My background is in hospitality and customer service, and I bring that same attention to detail and communication to caring for your cats. You can expect a photo and an update after each visit, so you know how things went. Before your first booking, I’d love to meet you and your cats, learn their routines, and go over any instructions. My goal is simple: happy cats, a tidy space, and one less thing for you to worry about while you’re away. I work a changing schedule, with morning availability on many workdays and more flexibility on days off. I keep my calendar updated and confirm visit windows before accepting each booking, including every day of a multi-day stay. I’ll follow your feeding and care instructions, be mindful of doors and escape routes, and leave your home securely locked after each visit. Before care begins, we’ll review home access, your cat’s habits, and emergency contact information. I’ll respect your home and your cat’s boundaries, and contact you promptly if I notice anything unusual.
About: Hello- I have had animals all my life. Mostly dogs, but cats, birds, hamsters too, to name a few. I love them all! I currently have 2 small, very friendly dogs- 5 and 6 years old, about 12 pounds each. They are friendly and playful and love having company. I live in a condo on the first floor, and we have lots of green space and a fenced in dog park. My dogs and I walk every few hours. I recently retired as a teacher and am home full time. I can host smaller dogs, and I take only one family at a time, up to 2 dogs. I will also do drop ins at your home within 5 miles of Gandy in St. Pete. We hope to meet you soon! Your animals will be well- cared for. I am not working outside the home. I am a recently retired teacher and am home 90 percent of the time! We would love to care for your fur baby. We take walks and I have a fully fenced yard. My two Havanese doggies love to host playmates over to play and snuggle. We walk our condo property a few times a day. I am home to walk the dogs anytime that is needed. We have lots of grassy areas at my complex and a big fenced in dog park in the back.
“Alexia is very trustworthy and goes above and beyond when watching my fur babies! I feel very secure leaving my cats with her for extended periods of time. Will continue to book with her :)”
“Maggie was great! She sent pics each visit and left updates on how they were doing. My 3 cats loved her. I’ll definitely try to get Maggie again for my next out of town trip. I was away for over 11 days! Never had to worry about my babies.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats. For family dog, friends, and of course myself. I always have fun taking them for a walk, playing fetch, interactive games for cats, giving them treats, snuggles, cuddles and lots of love. And I’m excited to meet my next puppy/kitten friend. I’m currently working full time. Any drop in visit after 6:30pm on some weekdays and anytime on weekends. * If you are around St. Pete Downtown/Central Oak Park area and need any drop in visit or a walk during the week before 6:30PM, I’m open to chat since I have a free hour during the day. * I live in an apartment complex. There is, what I called, a florida room which is an open spare room with plenty of space to make it comfortable for your pet.
“Christine was very kind and gave lots of love to our four kitties. Great daily updates. I felt at ease on vacation because I knew they were in great hands. :)”
About: I grew up with no less than 4 dogs in my house. I’ve taken care of bulldogs, pugs, dachshunds, pitbulls, strays, and mutts. There’s no breed or special routine that I can’t handle! I’m currently in medical school and would love to spend my free time with your pets. My schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I can easily take care of your pet in your home or mine. Whatever is easiest and most comfortable for you! I live in a spacious apartment complex with multiple trails and dogs parks available parks for your pet to enjoy as well.
About: What sets me apart is a combination of specialized, hands-on care experience and a commitment to personalized, stress-free care. I am trained in managing complex senior care needs, including medication administration, while also focusing on positive reinforcement training to help puppies build confidence and good manners. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels as comfortable as they do when you are at home. I am able to stop by as many times as needed everyday throughout the week (Monday-Friday) after 3:00Pm and able to stop by as many times as needed on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) after 3:00Pm. Caring for pets requires prioritizing safety, building trust through communication, and maintaining a secure environment. Key actions include adhering strictly to routines (feeding, walking), securing hazards (cleaning supplies, small objects, gates), and keeping detailed records of veterinary contacts. Daily photo updates and maintaining hygiene ensure peace of mind.
About: I started taking care of pets from the young age of 12. It all started with my neighbors dog Jinx. I loved getting up early and taking him on walks and runs. I quickly became known as the neighborhood dog walker. In high school I got my first pet. His name is Z and he is a leopard gecko. He is my pride and joy! Throughout college I had the privilege of taking care of my friend’s pets including cats and dogs of different sizes and ages. I love creating a warm and loving environment for your fur babies. My days can be quite busy in the morning, but I am free in the evenings. Friday-Tuesday I work in sea turtle conservation till about 3pm. Anytime after then I am open scheduled. I am free all day on Tuesday’s and Wednesday. I live in a nice apartment with plenty of room. The complex its self is about two miles to walk through. It also has a walking and running train nearby. In addition it has an amazing dog park!
“Victoria took great care of our two kittens! She has A+ communication and makes me feel comfortable and relaxed on vacation knowing she is looking after our cats.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gandy
Samantha was wonderful with our pets! She took such great care of them, giving them treats and spending time playing with them and showing them lots of love. It meant so much knowing they were in caring hands while we were away. We’re so grateful for the attention she gave them and would happily book with her again. Thank you, Samantha, for looking after our fur babies so well! Highly recommend!
Breanna was amazing! I received lots of photos of my cat and she took great care of him when I was out of town. She is very reliable and sent me text updates about him as well. My cat was in great hands with Breanna. This was my first experience with a Rover sitter and I felt so safe leaving him in her care. I would absolutely trust her with his care again in the future!

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.

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.
