“Amanda is an excellent pet care professional. She’s always on time and was very easy to set up care for my 4 month old puppy. She goes above and beyond, and clearly cares for animals. She was a vet tech and is currently studying to be a vet. Would highly recommend Amanda if you are looking for someone who is friendly, trustworthy, dependable and knowledgeable with pets.”

About: Hi! My name is Hailey, and I absolutely love caring for animals. I’m a third-year Biology student at UCF with a passion for animal care and conservation, and I’m excited to bring that passion to Rover! I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through my own pets, volunteer work, and everyday animal handling. At home, I have my energetic French bulldog, Lola, and my wonderful cat, Popper. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I help with cage cleanings, animal socialization, and dog walking. These experiences have taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding each animal’s individual personality are. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra playtime, a calm companion, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. Outside of Rover, I’m pursuing my Biology degree with an interest in continuing my education in veterinary sciences. Working with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I'm currently a full-time student and working part-time, so most days I'm not available. However, I am free every Saturday and Wednesday, so I'd be happy to stop in and care for your pets at any time on those days! I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and keep you updated with photos so you know they’re happy and safe.

“Tonja was extremely professional and went above and beyond what I asked of her. I have 2 diabetic cats and besides daily pictures, she kept me informed of how many units were given and if they ate or drank water. She helped me out at the last minute and I highly recommend her for kitty care!!”

“Cynthia was amazing with with our two dogs. The pictures she sent during every visit was very nice. Our kids loved seeing the updates on their staycation with her. The dogs were excited to see her and get some one on one time with her when she visited. We would recommend and would use her again for other trips we can’t bring our dogs to.”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets since I was in high school. I’m very responsible and am a calm presence around dogs. I pay attention to their energy and am intuitive about their needs. I have house sat and cared for dogs, cats, horses, cows, and chickens. I love animals and will make sure your furry friend is cared for and loved. I’m known for being responsible so that pet parents can rest easy knowing their pets are in good hands when they’re with me. I work from home full time, so if you need someone to keep your pet company during the day, let me know! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and a screened in pool that has an additional child protection gate if needed. Here’s what some of my clients have said about my work with pets: “Kenzi was made to care for animals! She is incredibly patient and gentle. Very aware of things happening around her. My dogs love when Kenzi comes around and I never have to worry, I know that they will be cared for as if I were there with them. She is a fabulous find!” -Eliza “Kenzi has been a house sitter for me for several times over the last few years. She has been responsible for taking care of my 2 horses, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. When I come home it’s like I just left, everyone is happy and healthy! She will make a great caregiver for anyone’s fur babies, whether well refined or rough around the edges like mine!” -Roberta I currently work from home and have a relatively flexible schedule, so I’d be happy to help with your pet needs. Detailed schedule tbd, but when I tell someone I’m going to be there, I follow through. I’m very responsible and respect the time of others, so I honor my commitments and make sure to follow through if I agree to something. In my home, I’m a remote worker, so I have the time and flexibility to make sure your pet is well taken care of. If your pet joins us, they will well taken care of in an air conditioned and quiet home in a safe neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard too so I can take them out to play and take potty breaks throughout the day. If your pet needs more attention and cuddles, I’m able to give them that attention during my work day so they feel safe and loved. In your house, I am respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure to leave a place as clean as when I arrived, and I will be a calm and reassuring presence for your pet so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. You can rest assured knowing your pet is in good hands.

“ABOVE AND BEYOND! Alexander and Dorys are the most reliable, trustworthy, responsible, kind, loving and fun people that I have ever hired to care for my pets or my three children! I highly recommend hiring them if you want zero worries about your fur babies or your home. I could share two weeks' worth of daily examples of their great communication and execution of my list of tasks, but I will share just one: CHRISTMAS EVE. 5:30pm. Jones, our indoor/outdoor cat, wouldn't come home. The entire family was multiple states away, as were most of our friends and neighbors. Alexander and Dorys arrive a bit early to get Jones safely inside for the night, cleaned the box and food and water dishes, and were ready to play and cuddle for 30 minutes. (always sending me pics and updates.) They kept calling for him. Did the nightly routine: selected a good TV program for him, checked thermostat and garbage, and kept calling for him --- on Christmas Eve when they were on the way to their family gathering. They were communicating with me that Jones was not home, and I told them they should leave the cat door open and to go to dinner with their family. It was Christmas Eve! (And, Jones often doesn't come back home immediately when called.) I said the neighbor would keep an eye out. But, Alexander and Dorys didn't feel good about leaving Jones outside and didn't want me to worry. Instead of leaving him outside like I said to do, they tracked Jones' Airtag that I had shared previously. The lovely couple went throughout the neighborhood, calling him and shaking his treats until they found him two blocks away. Then, Jones didn't want to ride in the car. So, Dorys walked and carried Jones all the way back home. And, they still petted him and gave him his nightly catnip party! I will attach a pic of the walk home with Jones looking like he's clawing her arm, but she never said a single word about that. They were just happy to have found him and made sure my fur baby was safely home so I could have a worry-free Christmas Eve. I believe this single example of my experience with Alexander and Dorys is a real testament to the care they would give your pets. In addition, they also cared for my large 'high-maintainence' German Shepherd the week that he had leg surgery for new ACL, and Dorys sat on the couch beside him and read with him the entire night to ease his separation anxiety. Gave medication, treats, and took care of Jones' indoor/outdoor needs... Dr. Dog was the least anxious that I have ever seen him upon our return home. He was so happy and peaceful ... another testament to the connection they have with the animals. You can see it. They are animal people, truly kind, and the pets and I love them - you will, too! :) ( Most of all for me busy working and traveling with family, etc.... I like not worrying about anything, no matter what. They took care of everything that came up without me giving a second thought. Worth every penny for the peace of mind... everything taken care of... everyone is happy!)”

About: Hi! My name is SJ! I always wanted to find someone reliable, kind, gentle and understanding to watch my own girls when I needed to go out of town. So I decided to be that for others who may also need a lil help in the puppy department. Trusting someone with your fur babies is one of the hardest things... Let me help take that stress off of your shoulders. Leave a detailed message on how to care for your fur baby and I got you! I treat every animal as if it were a human. Dogs especially always find their way to me 😂 I'm basically Ms. Rachel , but for dogs 🤣 I can be available for drop in visits, or some in-home sitting, let me know what you need. No worries! For some reason my rates are all over the place on this app and there's no way for me to update them I keep it easy and the same for everyone. 20 per visit +10 for additional pets. Example: 1 dog + 3 visits = 60. 2 dogs + 3 visits = 90. Message me or text to book I'm an Uber Driver and a local musician so I occasionally play music around Brevard county but I have plenty of time for your pets! My girls are set in their daily routines. I come and go throughout the day. I have a semi fenced yard (the rest is a natural barrier) our girls stay in the garden and don't ever leave the premises. It's a garden/dog park in our backyard. In your home, I would just need very clear directions on what your expectation is and I can follow that guideline with no problem :) My time is spent with your pet playing, feeding, walking, or just being there for some human interaction. I can clean up anything while I'm there for you. Just think of me as your assistant. Let me know what I can do to make your pet/day a little easier.

About: Loving, Experienced Dog Sitter — Boarding in My Home 🐾 “Hi, I’m Sam! I’m a caring and dependable animal lover who understands that pets are family. I took a break from dog sitting for a while because my own dog unfortunately wasn’t friendly with other dogs. He has since passed away, and I really miss having a dog around the house — so I’d love to welcome your furry family member into my home and give them lots of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I offer boarding in my home and doggy daycare, where your dog will be treated like one of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time, and I live in a dog-friendly gated community that’s great for walks. I’m also happy to take dogs to a nearby park for some extra exercise and adventure! I’m a huge animal lover and understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of affection, playtime, walks, attention, and cozy downtime — whatever makes them feel happy and at home. I also have a 4-month-old baby, so it’s very important that any dog staying with us is comfortable and gentle around babies and children. I want every pet (and my little one!) to feel safe, happy, and relaxed during their stay. I do accept several bookings at a time but if your pup is more comfortable being the only one in the home, accommodations can be made. I’d love the opportunity to spoil your pup with love and care while you’re away and give them a fun, safe, home-like place to stay! 🐶❤️ As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible daily schedule that allows for me to be home most of the day. I’m able to work walks, playtime, outdoor time, feeding, and lots of love into my normal routine. I’m also able to be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times when needed. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home while they’re here, so I’m happy to follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions you provide. Most importantly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and included as part of the family during their stay.

About: Entrusting someone with your pet requires confidence, and I provide a level of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I offer a unique combination of professional medical knowledge and personalized, attentive care designed to meet each pet’s individual needs. From routine companionship to specialized support for senior pets, those with medical conditions, or pets requiring medication, I am equipped to provide exceptional care with precision and compassion. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always the highest priority. I believe premium care means more than meeting basic needs—it means creating a calm, enriching, and secure experience where pets feel comfortable and valued. My goal is to provide discerning pet owners with complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are receiving expert care in capable hands. For clients seeking professionalism, reliability, and a truly elevated standard of pet care, I am committed to delivering service you and your pet can trust. My schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week. I work only one Saturday each month for approximately four hours, which gives me a highly flexible availability for pet sitting and boarding. I am home every evening, ensuring pets receive consistent companionship, routine, and care. As I work within a veterinary clinic setting, I also have the unique ability—if absolutely necessary—to bring a pet with me during work hours. In that environment, they would be closely supervised and surrounded by caring professionals, receiving plenty of attention throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being while accommodating their individual needs. I provide attentive, personalized care in a calm and welcoming environment. At this time, I do not have pets of my own, which allows me to offer visiting pets a comfortable space without concerns about compatibility with resident animals. I live in an apartment community with ample opportunities for walks, fresh air, and enrichment. There is also an on-site dog park, providing additional space for exercise and play. Beyond meeting daily care needs, I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—whether that means engaging in play, offering companionship, or simply sharing quiet moments and snuggles. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and at ease while in my care.

He communicated with us at each twice-a-day visit, letting us know how she was, which gave us peace of mind. I cannot thank him enough for all the care and good work. We highly recommend him and we will definitely have him again.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Grant-Valkaria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Grant-Valkaria is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $30 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 1,156 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Grant-Valkaria. 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 Grant-Valkaria. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
