“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 !!”

“I can't say enough positive things about Kyleigh! She did an excellent job with the drop-in visits for my dog, taking her out, feeding her, and keeping her happy. She also managed to fit in a last-minute visit when I took longer than expected returning home, which saved the day. Super dependable, courteous, and professional. I highly suggest her for amazing pet care!”

“Zach is wonderful with Louis. Louis is recovering from surgery and Zach is gentle and kind with him. He has helped us when given little notice, too. Highly recommend him.”
“Rachel was awesome while watching our pet. Always provided great photos and fast interaction. Would recommend her to anyone looking for help watching a pet. Thanks again!”

About: Hi There! I'm Hadley, I have been working with dogs since I was a young girl both as a job and raising my own. I have also volunteered at the PWC Animal Shelter and had a great experience there taking care of dogs, cats, and small animals. I understand the importance of caring for a dog based on its breed, medical needs and temperament. I do have a young Australian shepherd at home, she is very loving and gets along great with other dogs. However, she does have a lot of energy so it’s important that your dog would be comfortable with her! A little about my care: •I love capturing pups at their best and promise to send you as many pics as you want! •Dogs new to each other are supervised at all times when together (if I’m at work or running errands they will be separated by different bedrooms, kennels, sides of baby gates). •All dogs eat separately regardless of food aggression or lack of. •I have plenty of toys but if one dog exhibits aggression, all toys are put away unless dog is alone with toy. •Over night dogs sleep wherever is “normal” to them: crate, free roam, my bed, etc. •I require that all dogs are up to date on vaccinations and have not had any ticks or fleas in the past 30 days. Thank you for your willingness to maintain a safe environment! I work full time from home during the week but have an alternate schedule with my significant other. Dogs are never left alone for more than a few hours. I always make sure to keep an eye out. Your dog will never be left alone. When outside or on walks your dog will always be leashed!

“Michelle went above and beyond for my baby. My dog was not feeling well, and would not eat during the first check in. Michelle sent me updates and kept a close eye on her so I would not worry. she even offered to go back and check on her outside of her scheduled time. She sent many updates throughout and pictures and made my dog feel comfortable in my absence. I would normally worry about my dog the whole time I’m away but I have not worried once, as I trust Michelle wholeheartedly with her care. I could not recommend her more. Will definitely be booking with Michelle again”


“Maria did a great job looking after our two cats and giving medication while on a trip away. She gave us great updates with pictures and videos every visit and went above and beyond our expectations. Next time we have to go away I'm sure we will rebook.”


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: Throughout college, I volunteered regularly at the CARE Humane Society in Auburn, gaining hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve also spent many years looking after the pets of friends, neighbors, and family, beginning in high school and continuing through college. Alongside caring for my own pets growing up, I’ve held several ongoing pet-sitting roles, from daily care to extended stays, working with animals of various breeds, ages, and energy levels. These experiences have allowed me to develop strong skills in handling, supervising, and understanding the needs and behaviors of both dogs and cats. My schedule is very flexible as I am starting a new position that entails 15-25 hours a week, but the week by week changes. I am more than happy to work with your family as needed and am always free on weekends! I have a cat, Beans, who I take care of in my apartment. I understand the anxieties that happen when opening up your home and your furry friend to a new stranger. I want to be as accommodating as possible knowing that you are trusting me with your adorable pets! I am so excited to meet and love on your pet(s) the way I do with my own.
“Dan was simply awesome. My senior dog and young cat loved him. He did such an outstanding job caring for them while I was away on a trip. Dan was very communicative, punctual and flexible. I would definitely use his services again in the future! I would highly recommend him for your pet care needs!”

“Julianna is quick to respond and you can tell her love for animals as soon as you meet her! She was great with sharing photos and commuicating! Definitely will be using her again soon and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
“Rylee was amazing and came through last minute in the middle of the night! She was very responsive with pics and even took him on 2 walks! Definitely booking again! Thank you for taking care of him ❤️”

“Brianna has been so helpful with our 9week old puppy! We were really nervous about using Rover but Brianna was beyond helpful and made us feel so comfortable! She is so sweet with our puppy, and sends lots of pictures and updates while she’s there. We look forward to working with her more!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've always had at least one dog in my home and have consistently been their primary caretaker, so I'm very familiar with the daily responsibilities that come with keeping them happy, healthy, and well cared for. Throughout college, I also spent a lot of time dog sitting for others, gaining experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From little Yorkies to German Shepherds, I've owned and cared for a wide variety of dogs and understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and personalities. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind that they're in good hands! I own and operate a local gym, which gives me flexibility in my daily schedule. I'm able to plan my day around the dogs in my care and make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. Having always had dogs of my own, caring for them is already a natural part of my everyday routine! I want every dog in my care to feel just as comfortable and loved as they do at home! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and needs, so I always take the time to learn what works best for them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to accommodate their preferences. I make sure dogs have plenty of opportunities for exercise, bathroom breaks, attention, and downtime throughout the day. Safety is always a priority for me. I pay close attention to each dog's behavior and comfort level, follow any feeding or care instructions provided, and make sure they're supervised appropriately. I also believe communication is important, so I'm happy to send regular photos and updates while you're away! My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like family.

“Jennifer was an excellent cat-sitter for my two cats while I was away for 9 days. Great communication, I felt comfortable knowing how things were going daily with each visit and she responded timely to my messages. I would definitely recommend her for your pets.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I grew up with chocolate labs and truly think they were what made my upbringing so fun. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and always make sure each pet gets the individualized care and attention they need. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether your pet loves long walks and lots of playtime or would rather relax and get some extra cuddles, I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure you receive plenty of updates and pictures while they’re in my care! I am currently working full time Monday-Friday 8-4. I am happy to help take care of your cat or dog after work or on the weekends. I know consistency is important for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual schedule and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and privacy and make sure everything is kept clean, secure, and just as I found it. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away!
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have dog sat for multiple families. I am familiar with mostly all dog breeds. I have unconditional love for all animals, especially dogs! I am experienced in caring for dogs needs as I have owned dogs most of my life. I will treat every dog like my own I am available mornings and afternoons Sunday through Friday to walk and play with your pups! I have just recently moved to st Pete from Indianapolis and I am loving this dog friendly city. I would love to spend quality time with your furry friends and show them all the love! I am able to welcome your pups into my home or travel to your home! Will crate dogs if needed. I will do whatever It takes to make sure your dog is comfortable and all needs are met! I am also available to stay overnight if needed.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every dog in my care. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether it’s an energetic puppy eager to explore or a senior dog who prefers a slower, gentler stroll, I tailor each walk to their individual needs. I prioritize safety, reliability, and positive experiences while treating every furry companion like family. My goal is to give your dog a fun, loving experience and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because caring for others has always been a passion of mine! I have over eight years of experience in education, child welfare, and social work, where I have developed a deep understanding of compassion, patience, trust, and the importance of meaningful connections. Throughout my work in social services, one question I often ask individuals is, “Do you have a pet?” I recognize the incredible impact animals can have on emotional well-being, providing comfort, companionship, and helping people regulate their emotions during difficult times. Since I work at night, I have the wonderful opportunity to dedicate my daytime hours to caring for your furry companions! I have a flexible schedule and am generally available from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, Mon-Thur, making it convenient for pet parents who need a dependable midday walk while they’re at work or managing their busy schedules. I believe our furry companions are more than just pets; they’re family! Dog walking allows me to combine my love for animals with my passion for serving others. Whether your pup needs exercise, fresh air, companionship, or a little extra love and attention, I am committed to making every walk a safe, joyful, and tail-wagging experience. Your pup’s happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my priority! 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am a proud dog mom to my sweet boy, Teddy, whom I adopted from a shelter! Before Teddy, I had the joy of caring for four other dogs throughout my life. These experiences have given me a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities, needs, and unconditional love that dogs bring into our lives. Adopting Teddy has also deepened my understanding of the importance of patience, consistency, trust, and creating a loving, secure environment. In addition to my personal experience with dogs, I have over eight years of professional experience in education, child welfare, and social work. My background has taught me the importance of compassion, attentiveness, safety, and building trusting relationships. Since I specialize in dog walking, I focus on providing safe, enjoyable, and personalized experiences. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, remain mindful of traffic, weather conditions, and other animals, and always prioritize your dog’s comfort and well-being. When entering a client’s home, I respect their privacy, property, and established routines. I also believe communication is key, so I provide updates and photos to help you feel confident that your furry companion is in caring hands. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, playful, or enjoying their golden years, I approach every walk with patience, kindness, and lots of love! To me, dogs aren’t just pets; they’re family. My promise is to treat your furry family member with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own Teddy! 🐶💕

“Raelee was absolutely wonderful! While having to take a last minute trip that was incredibly stressful from beginning to end, I never had to worry about Asher. I could see from the pics that were included that he was so happy to see her and had a great time. I’ve only been home for a few minutes and I think he’s ready for me to leave again :)”

“The only reason I only left a 9 dollar tip is that's all it would let me. Christina is so amazing, we would have never left our babies with anyone before. She is definitely a diamond in the rough. Thank you so much Rover for allowing us to meet her”

Kierra was absolutely wonderful taking care of Kiki! ❤️ It made me so happy to see in the videos how excited Kiki was every time she came to visit. Kierra didn’t just stop by to take care of her needs; she spent quality time with her, gave her lots of love and attention, and made sure she felt comfortable and cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Kiki was in such loving hands while I was away. I’m so grateful for her kindness and care, and I would absolutely recommend Kierra to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️

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!
Michelle went above and beyond for my baby. My dog was not feeling well, and would not eat during the first check in. Michelle sent me updates and kept a close eye on her so I would not worry. she even offered to go back and check on her outside of her scheduled time.

I would normally worry about my dog the whole time I’m away but I have not worried once, as I trust Michelle wholeheartedly with her care. I could not recommend her more. Will definitely be booking with Michelle again

Maria is such a great Rover. She has great communication and always makes me feel like my cats are in good hands while I’m away. My cats just love her too! She is attentive and makes sure to spend time playing with them and loving them as if they are her own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gandy is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 7,470 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gandy. 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 Gandy. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
