“We had a great experience with Bunny! Our Josie dog took to her right away, which gave us confidence and peace of mind. She was caring, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We definitely recommend Bunny!”

About: Feel free to use my code for $20 credit toward your first booking for new users! ROSEH82648 I have grown up with big and little dogs since I was young, and cats since middle school. I’ve always loved animals. Since moving away for college, I’ve dog sat for many pet parents in the area, from senior dogs with medications to puppies (already potty trained), and cats old and young. I have a very open schedule to animal sit, my days are very open between short trainings and over-hire work. Plus, getting a walk in it great for both of us! I have a lot of experience working with children and am fully aware that your fur babies should be no differently taken care of in the love and care provided. I have experience with muzzled dogs and crated dogs and am willing to do what makes you, the owner/dog/cat parent happy and comfortable (must be potty trained)
“Maria is the best! This is the 3rd time I have used her. My dog Echo is so comfortable around her and is happy to see her. I don’t worry about leaving Echo when Maria is taking care of her.”


“Anna is great! We needed to schedule a drop-in visit without much notice and Anna was able to check in on our puppy while we were out for the evening. Came home to a happy boy who had food and water, a potty break and some play time. Anna sent pictures and texted me after the visit to let me know how it went. Highly recommended, thanks!”

“My dogs were truly in excellent care. I feel like they were on a mini vacation of their own. Every check in we got several pictures. If you are looking for exceptional care for your pets Jeffrey is the person for your fur kids.”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats and birds my whole life. Within the last decade or so I’ve turned to reptiles and chickens. I’ll help with any pet, any age, and follow and special instructions when given them. I work full time mornings and available every evening and days off to take care of the needs of the animals in my care that day. I take extra precautions, give a lot of attention to details about the animal in my current care, and I’m very communicative to the owners.
About: I have been periodically dog sitting for family friends for about the last six years. I have experience with cats as well. I know how to feed, let out, walk, play with, administer medication to and clean up after both dogs and cats. I also really enjoy the job and helping people out in general. I am currently in flight school, so my schedule is all over the place. However, I have a lot of time that I do not need to be on campus/at the airport. I am on a block style schedule so the days of the week I am "on" shift and rotate a bit, but I am more than happy to work out what's best if you reach out. I will always treat your home as if it was my own. I take great care of my home and I wouldn't dream of bringing any harm to yours.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I cared for everything from small livestock to beloved family pets, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, pot-bellied pigs, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, cows, reptiles, and amphibians. Most recently, I've provided care for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, compassion, and attention they need as they age. My diverse background allows me to confidently care for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. Pet care fits well into my current routine. I'm currently attending school to become an airline pilot, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. For house sitting and overnight stays, some advance coordination may be needed since I'm a single dad. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and accommodating whenever possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I treat your animals, property, and routines with the utmost respect. I take the time to learn each pet's unique needs, maintain consistent routines, and provide attentive care to help them feel secure and happy. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are being cared for with kindness, dignity, and genuine affection.
About: I have never not owned a pet until recently. I had two cats (brother and sister) for 19 years. I have always had dogs. My most recent was my 60 pounds of love - a black lab. One of my cats had diabetes where I had to give him insulin shots twice a day. Thankfully, he went into remission after 5 years. I have raised puppies and took care of senior dogs. After a long career as a Legal Assistant in West Palm Beach, I have retired to my "happy place", Sebastian, Florida. I have time and energy to love your pets and am looking forward to making friends with your cat(s) and/or dog(s), and even their special human. 😊 I am always aware of your pet's needs. I am intuitive as to what they want or are feeling. Of course, their safety and health is top priority. If they are upset and not eating, I am creative in making sure they stay hydrated and eat.
“Yaretzi or Nina was very punctually and I didn't have a worry with my fur babies while she was watching them. The only thing I would suggest is that she be more attentive to my dogs in the 30 minute window of the drop in service”


About: Hi there! My names Allison. Im currently living in Vero and Melbourne. I take house sitting jobs in the Vero beach and Melbourne area. I have been taking care of all different types of animals all my life. From taking care of baby kittens to taking care of a new born puppy. Birds and reptiles as well. I love all animals and treat all animals the same. I am currently living in Vero Beach part time sitting for clients from as north as Melbourne FL, and I’m now taking care of my father and currently helping care for my moms seven animals. I am now looking to help others take care of their fur babies when needed. I’m free all the time and would love to take care of more animals. I take care of my pets daily from the minute. I wake up so the minute I go to bed. Both of my cats at home follow me everywhere and love their cat room that I made for them. I play with them daily and even make cute little projects for them. My most recent one was a little box for my one cat that wouldn’t let me get rid of a delivery box. I have had to give medication to animals as well. I’m very good at it and know how to administer medication‘s properly. I’ve also taken care of animals that have walking issues that are having issues with going outside. Many years of different types of animal care.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my experience and comfort level with a wide range of pets and their needs. I have a background in dog training, which helps me understand their behavior, reinforce good habits, and confidently care for pets with challenging behaviors. I am also experienced in sitting for multiple animals at once while still giving each pet individualized attention. I can also administer medications and follow detailed care instructions. As a dog mom of four myself, I know how important trust, safety, and communication are-and I care and love every pet as though they were my own. I conduct my business from home, so I am mostly available anytime, and I can go anywhere. My schedule will revolve around the needs of the clients and their pets. I am also available for same day service most of the time, so I am willing to accommodate last minute requests as well. I will follow the client's directions for exactly how they want their pet cared for. I know my dogs and cats have their own specific needs, so I expect the pets I watch will too.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 17. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm currently working part-time so ill have plenty of time to play with your pups, take them on a walk. I'm available on weekends after 12pm I have a fenced yard, a pool and a friendly dog that will keep company to your pup. I have a car that i can pick and drop them off.

About: I love being with dogs of every type and size. I have fostered several dogs and even adopted a few a long the way. I have had dogs apart of my life for as long as I have been around. I have help multiple times with a traveling dog show, especially with care for the dogs behind the scenes. I am an avid walker and would love to include your dogs in my daily walking routine. I am retired so I have plenty of time to tend to your pets. I generally walk between five and 10 miles a day so exercise is a big part of my daily practice. Would love to share it with your friendly pets. I have two of my own dogs. One is a rescue dog. At this time, I do not care to board dogs in my own home, but would be happy to take care of them in your home.
About: Though I do not have a yard, I do understand the importance of daily activity (especially for dogs) and in regards to that, I live in close proximity to two dog parks. Growing up around different animals, I’ve grown fond, familiar, and comfortable with caring for different species (from rodents to felines and canines and pretty much anything in between). I am looking to make extra money and gain experience with different breeds of animals, as I am planning to embark on a journey into veterinary school. I love all animals and believe wholly in treating and caring for them correctly. I’ve had cats, dogs, rodents (gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs) , ferrets, birds, reptiles (leopard geckos and turtles), and rabbits just to name a few. I’m always willing to go the extra mile for an animal (whether it’s my pet or not) and I get along with practically any animal and fully believe in building a strong bond with pets.
About: I have had anywhere from 2-4 animals in my house for the entirety of my life, including both dogs and cats. Over the years, I have contributed to the simple tasks of feeding them, letting them outside, taking them on walks, taking them to the vet, and cuddling with them. However, I have also had experience caring for 2 elderly dogs and 2 dogs that struggle with seizures. This required more patience and gentleness, learning how to medicate, and sometimes even emergency vet trips. I am currently enrolled at the University of Central Florida, but I am taking mostly online classes. Most weeks, I am able to be home in Sebastian from Wednesday evenings to Sunday nights. During that time, I should be able to drop in once or twice a day and care for your pets. I do not take pets to my home, but I will happily "drop in" to your house, feed your animals, let them outside (dogs), medicate them, and give them pets/cuddles if necessary.
About: Hello! I have a love for animals and have had such a blast taking care of my family, friends, and client's pets over the years. I am new to Rover and I am looking forward to meeting new clients. I have cared for a variety of animals over the years including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, etc. No matter the critter, my standard remains the same: I treat your pet like my own! I'm very flexible and cater to every pet's individual needs. I enjoy the outdoors and taking pets with me to the dog park and/or trails right up the road. Message me today so we can set up a meet and greet! My schedule is currently flexible throughout the week so I am happy to cater to your scheduling needs! Please feel free to call or text me at anytime. My goal for at-home care of your pet is to keep them as happy and close to routine as possible! I am also happy to do any light cleaning or plant care as needed per home.
About: I’ve rescued all kinds of animals since i was about 8 years old from dogs and cats to squirrels and raccoons. My love for animals is very high and I would love to incorporate them into my daily routines. I’m currently working a part time job at a school but it’s only in the morning so my availability is pretty flexible and open throughout the day. By caring for pets in my clients homes I would look out for a list of special directives when walking into the home and wondering what you can do to make sure nothing is done wrong.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gifford
We love Bunny!! When I ask her availability she always answers with an excited YES! She loves Penny and she WOULD love Ollie if he ever came out from under the bed! I so appreciate the photos she sends and the updates. The house is in proper order when we get home and we would absolutely use her again!

Melissa was totally wonderful with my puppy! She arrived on time for the meet and greet as well as the booking, was really nice, and kept me up to date with photos and communication letting me know how my shy pup was doing. I felt totally at ease the whole time and will absolutely be using her services again. Thank you!

Macie provided six days of drop-in visits for my two cats this week. What a super sitter! She was very punctual, and when her schedule needed to vary at all, she let me know ahead of time. She had every characteristic you want to see and experience in an ideal sitter. She was reliable, conscientious, thorough, and highly communicative. She sent Rover report cards immediately following each visit and asked good questions when needed. She made sure to follow all instructions about food, water, and litter box care and did a great job relaying important details about each of these areas. I looked forward to her detailed reports three times a day, and she shared fantastic photos each time. I felt assured my cats were in great hands. Macie is an outstanding sitter, and it is easy to give her a high recommendation.

Jean was terrific! She took care of our two cats while we were travelling. Jean kept me updated on each visit and sent photos. All was well and in good order when we returned home. It was comforting to know that our cats were well cared for and felt comfortable with Jean while we were away. I am so happy to have found her.

Reliable. Serious (in the 'excellent listener' and strives to understand the pet's needs sort of way). Extremely clear communicator. Trustworthy. Judy was, in a word, a fantastic and reliable dog sitter for our Frenchie Marcel. Highly recommend Judy Knight's services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gifford is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $27 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 1,075 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gifford. 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 Gifford. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
