About: I've had dogs my entire life. I have worked at dog boarding facilities and various rescues over the years. I am currently a volunteer with a local rescue in Lakeland. I have three small dogs of my own, who are like my kids. I’m home most of the time so your pet will rarely be unsupervised but when I do need to leave the house, I have steps and protocols in place to assure your pet's safety while I am away. I have a 6ft privacy fenced back yard. All lawn care items are locked away in a shed to lessen the risk of your pet getting into anything potentially toxic. I supervise feedings and separate dogs, if necessary. I can also administer oral medications.

About: My animals are my everything and I know how hard it is to trust them with someone else. Yes, I am that dog Mom. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From horses to parrots to cats and dogs of every size, I've never known life without them and it is such an privilege to care for them. I've trained service dogs and have experience with everything from toy breeds to gentle giants. I have experience volunteering at horse and dog rescues. My own two dogs are a bonded pair (a service dog and a therapy dog.) I believe our furry companions are family, and that's exactly how yours will be treated while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, exercise, or simply a loving place to feel comfortable, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and needs. I am communicative, respectful, responsible and attentive. Your furry family member will be loved and cared for as one of my own! My schedule is flexible. I am home full-time allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and individualized care. As a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a service dog and a therapy dog, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Your pet will enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax and feel at home. I only accept one boarding guest at a time after a screening. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. With experience caring for animals of all sizes and training service dogs, I understand the importance of routines, patience, and individualized attention. My home is shared with my two bonded dogs, a German Shepherd and a Labrador. I require a meet-and-greet before boarding to ensure everyone is comfortable together. I follow each pet's feeding, exercise, and care instructions and provide a loving, supervised environment where they're treated like family.

About: I had my own dog grooming business for 20 years that was successful and would dog sit for my clients. I viewed my clients and their pets as family. I love the bond that I had with the dogs and their owners through the generations of pets they owned. As a retired groomer and a previous animal owner of husky's (they have passed), I will provide the attention your loved one requires. I will love your pet the way that you love them or better..lol I have a fenced in 1 acre yard for them to run around in. I do not have children, a non smoker, and I don't have any pets of my own, yet.

About: Hi there! My name is Melanie and I have always worked with animals! I have volunteered hundreds of hours to The Humane Society of Tampa Bay and took in many dogs as a foster parent for months at a time, ranging from breeds and ages (some were even too young to adopt). I can watch any breed for as long or short as needed and can handle more than one. My home is about 1500 sq feet and i have a large fenced in yard. I do have young children so the animals need to be okay with kiddo (ages 12, 11, 9 and an infant). Please feel free to contact me night or day! I am currently a stay at home mom, so I am free all day! I do have a baby that takes up a good portion of my time, but would have plenty to care for your pup! I have a fenced in yard and children who are used to dogs and very well aware of how to treat them. The house is laid out in a manner that there is room to roam.

About: Dog sitting is more than a job for me- it’s a passion! I’ve spent time with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Terriers to gigantic Great Danes. I’m not just your average sitter; I bring a knack for understanding doggy body language, a talent for getting even the pickiest pups to swallow their pills, and I always carry a bag full of treats (of course!). Whether your dog needs a running buddy, a snuggle partner, or just someone to toss the ball again and again- I’ve got it covered. I pride myself on keeping tails wagging and owners stress free, knowing their fur babies are in the best hands. Since pet sitting is my primary job and I’m currently a college student, my schedule is quite flexible. I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine, offering plenty of time for walks, play sessions, and any special needs your dog may have. My evenings and weekends are also free, so I can provide consistent care and attention throughout the week. Safety and trust are crucial when caring for pets in your home. I make sure to follow your specific instructions to the letter, from feeding routines to exercise needs. I will keep your home secure by ensuring all doors and gates are closed and never leave your pet unattended in potentially hazardous situations. I also maintain a clean and organized environment, respecting your space and belongings. Your pet’s well-being is my utmost concern, and I strive to provide the same level of care and attention that you would.

About: About Me Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I have 30 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, from fish and small pets to dogs, cats, livestock, and horses. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. For 10 years, I dedicated my time to rehabilitating dogs that were considered unadoptable. I worked with them patiently, helping them build trust and confidence before finding them loving, perfect homes. That experience taught me how important patience, compassion, consistency, and understanding are when caring for animals. I currently have two dogs who are very much part of our family. Copper, my Basset Hound, is one of my children, and Oakley, our adopted German Shorthaired Pointer, has a special place in our hearts as well. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, which is why I take that responsibility very seriously. I am also a mom to four kids ranging from 12–19 years old, and they share my love for animals and are huge animal advocates themselves. Our family has always believed that animals deserve patience, kindness, respect, and lots of love. When your pets are with me, they aren’t just being watched—they’re being loved, cared for, and treated like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable in your absence. I currently work part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I do sometimes have extracurricular activities with my kids showing livestock and FFA events but can work around that. When I care for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I know that pets feel safest when they are in their own familiar environment, so I make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care they would get from their family. I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special needs your pets may have. I will also spend quality time with them so they receive plenty of attention and don’t feel lonely while you’re away. With my 30 years of experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and many other types of pets, I am comfortable handling animals with different personalities and needs. My experience rehabilitating dogs for 10 years has also taught me the importance of patience and understanding, especially with animals that may be nervous, anxious, or have behavioral challenges. While I’m in your home, I will treat it with the same respect I would my own. I will keep your pet’s areas clean, make sure they have fresh food and water, and keep an eye out for anything unusual with their health or behavior. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I don’t see pet sitting as simply a job. Animals are my passion, and I will care for your pets as if they were part of my own family.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid. I also have watched dogs for my friends. My two oldest daughters head off to college this August. My youngest daughter, she will be 12 in September, loves all animals, but especially dogs. I am looking for a way to have more dogs in our house for my daughter to play with. We have one dog, Marley. However, my mom lives next door and she has two dogs, Daisy and Zoe. They visit often. But when we are watching other dogs, they will not visit. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe environment for your pup while you are away. I am able to watch your fury family member any weekend during the school year or June/July over the summer. I am not available: July 6-9 After July 30, I am back at school. I am available to watch your fury family member Friday (after 3:30) until Sunday evening (anytime.) I have a pool for them to swim in and and fully fenced in area around my house. I have about 40 acres we can take leashed walks on if you would like. We do have a few cows and a horse on the extended acreage. My lab/beagle mix loves to play with dogs. She plays well with both small and large dogs.

Our cats greeted us when we came home as if we had never left, and to us, that says everything! ❤️ Ashley really connected with both of our sweethearts, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away knowing they were in such good hands. She is very responsible, respectful, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We could tell that our cats felt comfortable and safe with her. We would absolutely trust Ashley to care for them again. Thank you, Ashley, for taking such wonderful care of our babies! 🐾❤️

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.
