About: I got my first cat at 10 years old and have had pets in the house ever since. I have two cats and a dog at home now. I am proficient in caring for other people's pets and routinely board and walk the dogs and cats of friends. Comfortable with all sizes of dogs for walking and playing. I can make any day work from 9am-7pm with some advanced notice. I am currently working part time and looking to add in some dog walks and check-ins. I will follow any rules or guideline you require when checking in on your pet. I am incredibly flexible when it comes to how you would like me to go about being in your home and working with your pet.
About: I've been taking care of dogs ever since I was a child, and I currently have one that I'm taking care of now! If your dog loves to go outside, take walks and play, or even if your dog likes to rest and receive pets and cuddles, I'm happy to provide the same level of care as I would for my dog! I currently work from home off of a laptop, and my schedule is very flexible! I'll be able to provide your fluffy friend the proper care they need and give them all the attention they want! I'm happy to ensure that your home remains a safe environment for your pet while you are away! I'd also be happy to take pictures throughout my stay to provide peace of mind that your pet is happy and healthy!
“I felt at compete ease with Samantha watching my cat. She was prompt and kept me notified. And my cat that is very shy but did warm up to her. I would highly recommend her care.”
“Karla took wonderful care of my fur babies and was very flexible with one of the cat’s medication and crate rest schedules while he was recovering from an injury. Karla has always demonstrated excellent attention to detail and compassionate care, providing plenty of photos and videos to keep me informed throughout the stay. So thankful for her expert care and kindness!”
About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I would love to walk and love on your fur babies while you’re away! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I love walking in and seeing the smiles when they know they get to go for a walk! I’m a local PreK teacher so my schedule is usually free after 3:30 on weekdays, but my weekends are usually wide open! Growing up I always had animals in my house so I’m very comfortable with messes they make or medicine they need, so if your babies need that too I’d be more than happy to help! If you’re looking for someone to have your pets feel comfortable and happy all day, even while you’re away, I’d love to be that person! I'm currently a PreK teacher at a local elementary school, so my weekdays are open starting around 3:30 pm! On the weekends, I usually hang out at home or around town, so my schedule is pretty flexible! In your home, I promise to follow whatever makes your pets the most comfortable! Whether your dogs like to lounge on the couch or feel more content in a crate, I'll do whatever you'd like!
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, so much so that I made it my career! I grew up with many pets, including a cocker spaniel, Dalmatian, two greyhounds, and a cat I picked out when I was just 6 years old! I’ve always known I wanted to work with animals from a young age, and have a career in zoo keeping! This means I worked with animals every single day, and have the training skills and experience to give your fur babies the best care! I’m currently working 4 days a week, with my days off being Monday, Friday, and Saturday. Sometimes those change, so contacting me is the best way to know my availability! I will always provide the safest environment for your pets. I am very attentive to any behavioral changes and illnesses that may come up, and have the experience to deal with most situations. I will also always provide a high level of communication with you about your pets!
“Camron was an absolute lifesaver on our recent trip! She was fantastic with Raina and made sure our cats felt loved, too. She asked all the right questions about their routines, which immediately showed how much she cares. It's so reassuring to have someone you can trust completely with your pets. Thanks, Camron!”
“Marisa is the absolute best. I’ve never been happier with a sitter. She is so good with my very anxious dog who takes awhile to warm up and my kitties all love her too! She went above and beyond. Even accepted a last minute drop in request because our flight was delayed. Highly recommend! I hope she’s available every time I need a sitter. Thanks SO much, Marisa!!”
“Excellent excellent excellent! Deanna provided great communication and photos! WWE are so wry happy to welcome Deanna into our family- she made our time away enjoyable knowing she was well taken care of!!”
“Patrick was very accommodating and understanding. My husband and I are grateful for his help with the Drop-in for our dog, Sandy. She has storm anxiety and these summer afternoons can be unpredictable. Patrick comforted her and gave her so much patience. He's also great with communicating. Highly recommend!”
“Marcus was great! He does great with teddy who can be a handful, is always communicative and sends lots of pictures and videos. He was even able to accommodate my last minute trip for the holiday with no problem! Have booked him before and will definitely be booking him again!”
“Rico is an absolutely fantastic! He took great care of my dog, Hayley, and was incredibly attentive throughout their time together. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos he sent—they gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well looked after. Hayley adored him, and it’s clear he genuinely loves what he does. I highly recommend Rico to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker! 🐾”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with my cats while I was away for five days. She kept me updated with sweet photos and thoughtful messages. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: Big animal lover. Love taking long walks, if not we’ll do Netflix lazy couch time! Available to watch over your pet during weekends, weekdays, and even holidays! [Check my calendar for availability] 🐶 I do run this business with my dad Carlos who lives with me. So it is a very quiet and peaceful place. He is retired and home full time. And of course, he loves animals as much as I do ♥️ We do nothing but the best to take good care of your pet. I can take up to 2 pets max at the time to ensure my full attention to your baby, yet they will be completely separated/no contact, as my house allows for each to have great space. I absolutely understand how important pets can be for us, and I want to give them the best and safe experience while staying with me! ⭐️ My main purpose is to give you the relief that your pet will be in good hands while you are away! I follow strictly any instructions that your pet needs. I will provide daily updates with pictures or videos. Plus, I will play, walk, feed, and even provide any medical assistance if requested✅ I keep my place very clean and organized to ensure the well being of your pet. For the comfort and hygiene of my home, I kindly ask that all dogs arrive clean and well-groomed (no strong odors, excessive dirt, or fleas/ticks). Else, I would need to cancel the stay without refund. Thank you for understanding! I’m currently working full time weekdays only (hybrid), but rest assured that there will always be someone home supervising your pet. Either is my dad or myself. Note: Drop off and pick up times are flexible, but preferably to be dropped off in the morning before 10AM and/or at the selected times as I plan and work accordingly. Note 2: Please note that it’s on a first come first serve basis. So please make sure that your dates are cleared and booked in order to save your spot. In case of a cancellation, I am able to refund up to 3 days prior the stay. Note 3: I have no issues with arranging a meet and greet, however, I will be having these in my garage. No one will be allowed in the house for any reason. I have a big fenced yard and pets are supervised at all times when outside. There are no kids. If there is another booking, rest assured to know they will be in separate areas of the house and no contact with either one. All animals deserve to be respected and be treated the best of ways! Don’t hesitate to send me a message for any questions, concerns or to schedule a meet and greet! I will be more than happy to answer any questions🐾

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Greater Carrollwood
I was nervous at first booking a rover sitter but Desiree put my fears to rest. She was open to a phone call where we discussed my expectations for taking care of the cats. I went over everything with her and she did a great job taking care of them and providing photos on each visit while I was away. Everything was how it should be when I got back which was really nice. I would definitely “hire” her again.
Jordan was amazing as always! She took great care of our new puppy and our cat who she has cared for before. She is great at communicating and takes amazing pictures to let us know everything is going well. I can’t recommend her enough, we can tell our pets love her too!
Marisa was absolutely phenomenal with our two cats! We have honestly never seen someone care for them the way she did. She treated them like they were her own and always made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even stayed longer than scheduled if she felt they needed a little extra attention, which meant so much to us. Her communication was 10/10. We received thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and always felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond, Marisa is the one. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Jessica was amazing! She came twice a day for a week to care for my cat, Luna, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She sent lots of pictures and updates of my little buddy playing, being fed, and getting plenty of love and attention, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Jessica even brought Luna extra treats and toys, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Luna and treated her like one of her own. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!
“Chris did a great job checking in on my cats. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Even my more reserved cat felt comfortable around him, which says a lot. He made the whole process easy and stress-free, and I’d definitely trust him with them again.
I've used Ashley a total of 3 times now to take care of my baby. I was gone for 2 weeks on vacation out of the country back in October, then as soon as I got home, I immediately had to leave and fly out of state for a family emergency. She was able to help on late notice. She sends a ton of pictures and is communicative. Plus my sweet little cat likes her.

As of August 2026, there are 3,557 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Greater Carrollwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Greater Carrollwood. On Rover:

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
