About: Hi there! I’m new to the Rover App but not new to caring for fur babies. The past 4 years I’ve had experience dog sitting for my older sister, who has a four year old Lab mix named Harper. I’ve watched Harper for weekends at a time feeding, walking, playing with her when my sister is out of town. I’ve also had the privilege of dog sitting for neighbors, dropping in their home while they are away and letting their fur babies out and feeding them. I currently live with a roommate who has a cat that I care for when need be as well. I love animals, and though I don’t have any of my own. I’ll take care of yours as if it was. Right now I’m only available for dog walking and drop-ins in your home. Not accepting over night sitting in my home at the moment. Book with me and have peace of mind your fur baby is cared for and loved while you’re away. I work full time throughout the week from Sundays-Thursdays. I usually work from 1pm-9pm or 3pm-11pm Though out the week. I’m free both Fridays and Saturdays anytime! I make sure the pets are getting the proper respect and care they need. I’m also well organized so I won’t miss any deadlines if the pet needs to take their medications or even a vet appointment if need be. I’ll make sure they get their food/water and that they use the bathroom on time as well. I also like to play with the pets to keep them engaged and have them not feeling too bored as well.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and. are and have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and a little more care with their routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship and a comfortable environment. I don’t have experience caring for cats but I have been around cats! I currently work M-F 8-5. I would be able to drop in before and after that and anytime on the weekends. Whether that is walking or checking on the pets. I am attentive to pets in their own homes and respectful of others belongings. I do not offer to care for pets in my home.
About: I have owned pets all my life! I’d like to say we are the family who takes in an animal when they need a home. I will love and treat your animal as my own. My home is their home and they will feel just as loved! I currently work full time 8am-5pm. Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s I am fully remote. And home on weekends. My mother who resides in the same household works fully remote. You animals will never be along and will always have care. I have 3 friendly dogs who are fully crate trained and always looking for their next best friend! Our dogs are taken outside every 2 hours on a leash due to being in an apartment and walked.

About: I own aquatics, reptiles, cats and dogs. I live in a large house just me and am a home body. I also have a large fenced in backyard and my neighborhood has lots trails and sidewalks great for dog walking. I work part time from home on my own time so my availability is pretty much open! I also have automatic litter boxes as well as traditional litter boxes and hardwood/tile floors in case of accidents. I also have a large metal dog crate if needed I have a large fenced in yard and I also have a dog that is sweet with others and spayed! If you are uncomfortable with another dog in the home I can also have my mom take care of my pup as she only lives down the road!
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs my entire life. Growing up with a dog at home since birth taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency in pet care. Beyond that, I had the incredible experience of assisting in raising a guide dog, which deepened my understanding of training, responsibility, and the unique bond between humans and dogs. These experiences have given me both the skills and the heart to provide exceptional care and create a safe, loving environment for any dog. I am currently a graduate school student with an extremely flexible schedule. I have large gaps in the afternoons with many days with no class. I would be able to accommodate lunch walk/bathroom breaks as well as morning and evening check ins if needed. I prioritize caring for pets exactly how their owners prefer. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication, and any special needs to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment, and I’m happy to accommodate their usual routines as much as possible. My apartment also features designated dog play areas that are available for use, giving dogs plenty of space to exercise and socialize. Whether in your home or mine, my goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a baby, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. Over the past 15 years, I have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their beloved pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patience, attention, and affection. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, a young puppy or kitten, or a senior requiring extra care, I will treat them with the same love and dedication that I give my own pets. I currently have availability on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care. During my time with your pets, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping their daily routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and special care requests. I take the time to build trust with each pet and create a calm, loving environment where they feel secure and happy. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in caring and dependable hands.
About: I have a dog of my own (toy poodle) and I’ve had a variety of dogs growing up. I’ve had an English bulldog, a Boston terrier, a Yorkiepoo, and a Rottweiler so I’m experienced with all types of dogs. I have been taking care of pets including kittens, cats, and dogs for the past 5 years. I’m currently working part time remotely as an attorney, so I’m usually home all day unless I have other prior commitments such as a piano lesson to teach. I make loads of time to play with my dog and my son, and take him for long walks and several potty breaks a day, so your pet will be getting the same care! I treat every animal who is in my care just as well as I treat my own baby, and I am very careful to follow clients’ instructions because I know how I would want my baby to be treated. I personally like the free roaming approach, because I am a guest in your pup’s home. But of course I will always respect the boundaries that you have set for them. If you let them on the furniture, they can come on up and cuddle with me! If you prefer them to be crated at night, I will respect your wishes. In the event that I do have to step out, know that I don’t like leaving my own dog home alone for more than 2-3 hours at a time so I take the same care with clients. Even if I have to go teach a piano lesson, I always make sure the dogs are fed and the dogs have gone for a potty break before I leave and I make sure I’m not gone too long!
“Nicholas is the perfect sitter for my dog. He treats my big pup like an old friend, and my doggie loves to see him. It’s so great to have a trusted person as our dog sitter! Highly recommended !”

About: As the owner of a young (crazy) German Shepherd, I personally understand that high-energy and working-breed dogs greatly benefit from lots of physical activity, mental engagement, and confident care. I also understand how particular you may be about the person caring for your dog, because I feel the same way about mine. This is why I have a high standard of care for the dogs I take care of, and I pride myself on being dependable, observant, and attentive to their safety. I am especially comfortable with large, energetic dogs, but I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer walks/runs and drop-ins tailored to each dog’s energy level, personality, routine, and needs. I am available all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I would love to see your pup routinely, but I also accept same-day bookings on these days! My availability on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays is limited to early mornings, which will need to be scheduled the day before at the latest! Your pet’s safety and your trust are my top priorities. If you so choose, I would love to have a meet-and-greet before our first booking, but this is not required! During walks, I stay attentive to our surroundings and provide extra space from unfamiliar dogs, wildlife, traffic, or anything else that could make your dog uncomfortable or overly excited. I will never allow your dog off leash or introduce them to another animal. Living in Florida, I always monitor the weather, pavement temperature, and your dog’s behavior and will adjust the intensity of our activity accordingly. For drop-ins, I will carefully follow all feeding, medication, potty, play, and home-security instructions. I’ll also send lots of photos and a detailed update after each visit so you know how your pet is doing!
“It was our first time using a pet sitter and Donna really put us at ease! We appreciated her professionalism, her friendliness and how she loved on our kitties. She was great with communication and sending pictures. We will definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her to all pet parents.”

About: I’m currently a full time nanny who has experience caring for my work families dogs! I also have a high maintenance little guy of my own! My full time job doesn’t until later in the day so I have open availability from 8:30-11:30am! I also can create availability on the weekends if requested! I have a very dog friendly home, as I have a dog myself! It’s a safe environment with plenty of dog activities & toys! I also make a point to give individual attention & nurturing!
About: Your fur babies safety and happiness are my top priority! Whether your dog prefers a brisk, high energy workout or a gentle, sniffing focused stroll, I tailor every walk to their specific routine and energy level. You can expect real time photo updates if requested On a weekly basis, I maintain a carefully managed calendar that balances core, recurring client walks with flexible windows for short notice needs or weekend check ins, guaranteeing reliable and stress free care for pet parents. I provide attentive, high quality care centered on the safety, happiness, and well being of every animal. I excel at creating a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure and comfortable. My approach combines reliable routine management such as precise feeding schedules and structured exercise with the love and individual attention each pet deserves. I am highly observant, quick to recognize shifts in animal body language or health, and dedicated to open, real time communication with pet owners to ensure complete peace of mind.
“★★★★★ I had such a wonderful experience with her caring for my cat through drop-in visits! She did an amazing job, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and was incredibly attentive and reliable. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will definitely book with her again! ❤️🐾”

About: I've been caring for friends and family pets for 5 years now. I have experience with dogs and cats mainly and some small pets like hamsters, gerbils and fish. I really enjoy caring for them, and providing their fur parents with a piece of mind knowing they're safe and cared for properly. I've done overnight pet sitting, as well as feedings during the day when owners need the assistance. If you're looking for someone who is dedicated to making sure your pets are cared for properly, consider booking with me today! I'm currently in school working on a degree in sociology and have time to lend to pet owners who need daily or weekly care. So I'm able to take the time to attend to your fur babies in the way they need so that you have a piece of mind knowing they're safe and cared for properly. I have a home with a yard. Although it's not fenced, I do have a spacious home and can allow them outside, leashed so they can enjoy some sun and physical activity. I can also board dogs for pet owners who need that option as well.
About: I have owned two dogs for the past 9 years. I have previous experience working at a boarding facility as well. Your dogs will be safe, happy and loved while you’re away! I’m a current stay at home mom so I have time to help take dogs on walks and ensure they are getting the best care. I have two dogs and two cats, and I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. My pets are happy, well-loved, and receive plenty of attention, and I provide the same level of care, patience, and affection to every pet I look after.
“Danni is such a wonderful cat sitter! She always cares for my babies with so much love and gives me very detailed updates and lots of pictures. She also is super responsive if I ever have questions or requests. One of my kitties is diabetic and Danni has been so great with getting him his insulin. If you are in need of a kind, responsible, and responsive sitter you need to book Danni!”

We truly treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. We’re attentive to each pet’s personality and routine — whether that means energetic walks and playtime, or calm companionship for more relaxed or senior pets. We’re also patient with shy animals and happy to follow detailed care instructions, feeding schedules, and medication needs. Pet care fits easily into our routine since we both work from home and are available throughout the day to provide attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. After we finish work around 5 PM, we have plenty of time in the evenings for longer walks, playtime, and check-ins. We occasionally go to the gym during the week, but we always plan our schedules to make sure the pets in our care receive consistent attention and reliable care. We focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, we make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and have a clean and safe environment. We’re also happy to give medication, refresh water, and keep litter boxes clean if needed.

She was super attentive and made sure my pup was okay. She asked all the questions that I didn’t even think about! She made sure to take Khaleesi on a short walk like instructed and picked up the poop and disposed of it for me! She gave her water and a treat too!! 10/10 would recommend & rebook. She came in for me last minute it worked perfectly.

We CANNOT say enough good things about Maya!! Maya took great care of our pups + did me a huge favor and took out dinner from our freezer when I had forgot! 😂 We absolutely LOVE how many extra pictures she sends, and how she plays fetch with both our pups every time she comes over!! We will be recommending Maya to our friends & will be/already have booked her again!

Nakisha was amazing! She was always on time and very dependable. She even stopped by before the scheduled dates to meet the dogs, which gave me peace of mind before my trip. I left detailed instructions, and she followed everything perfectly without needing to reach out. If you’re going out of town and want someone reliable so you don’t have to worry, Nakisha is the perfect dog walker. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kyra did an amazing job caring for my high energy senior, Zelda while I went away for a few days. She sent update pics and videos each drop in visit she did. Would recommend Kyra 10/10! Very sweet and apparent she is a dog lover like me. Just to give some background, I’ve been a professional dog trainer since 2007 and I’m particular about how my dog is cared for and Kyra met my expectations 😊

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gibsonton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
