From the meet and greet to the update after the visit Jen was professional, caring, thorough and made both us and our pup feel comfortable. We would highly recommend Jen to anyone else looking for pet care that goes above and beyond.

Samantha took great care of Sheba. Was on time and provided details of what was going on. She was even able to extend the time I needed her on a last minute notice. I will definitely use her to take care of Sheba and would highly recommend her to others

Patrick is a wonderful person sitter! From first communication, he was prompt in his response(s) and attentive to our family’s pet’s individual needs. He recommended a meet and greet to make future visits comfortable for our pets - and us! He sent detailed visit cards and photos for every visit, and it was clear that our German Shepherds were well-cared for in our absence. We highly recommend Patrick as an experienced, caring pet sitter!

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!

During our initial meet and great I could tell that Pam loves cats. My cat, who usually runs from everyone she doesn't know, loved Pam as well. This made me feel completely comfortable leaving my cat in Pam's care. Receiving pictures everyday really helped put me at ease as well. I would highly recommend Pam and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need a cat sitter!

My dream is to have a huge farm filled with a bunch of animals. Animals will always be part of who i am :) I currently have a full time job from Tues-Sat so I am available mornings those days, Sunday and Monday all day to care for your babies :) I always treat peoples pets as if they were my own, giving them the care they need if it’s food, cuddles, or walks! whatever the precious pet needs!

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!!

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!

About: I’ve cared for pets for many years and truly love animals. I currently have cats of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, gentle, and detail-oriented, and I’ll treat your pets like family. I can help with feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication reminders, and giving your pets lots of love and attention while you’re away. I currently work during the week, but I’m available for pet visits before work, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable, organized, and flexible with scheduling whenever possible. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’ll make sure your pets receive attention, affection, and proper care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets in a clean and calm environment, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I will always treat your pets and home with respect and care.

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: Caring for dogs has been a lifelong part of who I am, from delicate 2 lb companions to strong 120 lb breeds. I offer a calm, attentive, and highly personalized level of care, with a strong understanding of canine behavior and safety. Each walk or visit is thoughtfully tailored to your dog’s routine, energy level, and comfort. I provide consistent updates and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in compassionate, capable hands. I provide reliable dog walking and pet sitting services with evening availability Monday and Wednesday through Sunday. I offer drop-ins, walks, extended visits, and overnight care tailored to your pet’s needs. (Unavailable Tuesdays.) I have a friendly dog that will give your fur baby company while you’re away. I also have a large crate if needed. I can prioritize safety, tailor walks to each dog's needs, previously having a special needs dog I can ensure each animal will get the care and medication it needs.

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.

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!

Madison is a phenomenal sitter. My cat needs insulin twice per day and can be fearful of strangers administering it, but Madison really went above and beyond to ensure that her needs were met.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Greater Carrollwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Greater Carrollwood on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,521 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
