“Betsy was so so great! She sent pictures and updates. I’m grateful for her flexibility after booking last minute. Tater loved her and was very comfortable with her! I will definitely be reaching out to Betsy next time I need someone to check in on Tater.”
“We were so happy to find Jeff through Rover! We are on vacation with our pups but we can’t take them everywhere. Jeff’s drop-in visit gave us peace of mind while we had a day out with friends. His flexible schedule worked great for us. And our dogs love him!”
“Thank you Stacey for your patience with Kodie and me! He eats so fast I don’t think he tastes a thing. I was happy to see he let you take his harness off. I hope that means he is getting to know you. Thank you for doing a great job with him. Kodie looks forward to seeing you again.”
“Courtney is lovely, she came for a meet and greet today. She was very flexible on time and friendly. She was gentle with Bailey, my old man Dachshund, who liked her as well. Happy to have her help with drop in visits!”
About: From as early as I can remember, dogs have been at the heart of my life. I believe every moment with them matters. Hi, I’m Shay. I’ve lived in key west 10 years and have lots of pet experience! Find me on Instagram - shewolfcanineservices Fun fact about me: I am currently studying dog behavior and psychology and moving towards becoming a certified dog trainer! I focus on creating walks that are both physically stimulating and mentally engaging, tailored to each dog’s energy level, temperament, and needs. I make sure each walk is a safe and positive experience. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for in every interaction. For me, dogs are more than pets—they’re companions, teachers, and a source of endless joy. Being able to support their well-being is not just my work, but my passion. My schedule is flexible and does change often. However, Sometimes I get called into work so if I am watching your dog, you have to be okay with me leaving my house and allow me to work my other job. Though this does not happen often. If it does I will let you know. As I do with my own dog, I come back after work, let him out and give him love and attention. That’s what your dog will get from me as well. If I am gone too long, my boyfriend would is just as dependable as I am will let the dogs out and feed them. He helps if I need help, but I rarely ever need help. I have 3 different size crates at my place (small, medium, large) so if I need to crate your dog before I leave my house, let me know. I will care for your pup as directed and will provide a peaceful environment for them as well as playtime, nap time, and keeping a consistent schedule. I will provide stimulation as needed based on the dogs energy levels.
About: I’m Sherri — a dependable, experienced canine and feline caregiver. I have spent years working with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. As a former certified K9 handler and trainer, I understand canine behavior, safety, and structure. Whether your fur baby needs a focused walk or a friendly drop‑in visit, I bring calm, confidence, and genuine care to every interaction. I am retired so I have plenty of time to provide the special care your furry family member needs. My goal with every client is to keep their pet or pets safe, happy and comfortable while they are away from their family. At my home, I have a fenced yard but still go out with my fur babies for restroom breaks - especially for the little ones. At home, I also use crates if I will be out for a while and so each pet has his/her own special, safe space. In a clients home, I follow the instructions set out the client and make every effort to make your pet comfortable and all of their needs are provided for.
About: I have pet sit my neighbors cats and dogs for friends and family for many years. I love animals and always treat those that I watch like my own! I am currently on summer break before heading off to college, so I have the free time to make pet care a priority. I do work part time, but my schedule is flexible. I am comfortable with dogs, so I have no problem caring for animals as an owner would. That goes for feeding, crating, walking, or any other instructions that I am given.
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have owned a Husky, Lab, and Jack Russell Terrier, so I understand how different each breed's personality and needs can be. I'm comfortable administering medications, reinforcing basic training commands, and working with anxious or nervous dogs to help them feel safe. What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about every dog I walk. I don't just provide a service – I build relationships and treat every pet like they're my own. I run my own business from home, so my schedule is flexible and pet care fits right into my day. I can offer morning walks, midday visits, or evening strolls depending on what your pup needs. I also live on base, so if you’re stationed there too, I’m able to get on base easily for walks, no extra coordination needed. Safety is my top priority. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to our surroundings, watching for other animals, traffic, and potential hazards. I respect your home by following your specific instructions – whether that's wiping paws before coming inside, securing doors and gates, or maintaining your dog's routine exactly as you've outlined. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I'm reliable, respectful of your space and belongings, and always communicate clearly about how the walk went. You can count on me to treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. As a veteran, I’m naturally dependable and pay attention to the little details, but I also know pets need love, patience, and comfort while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and love keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so they can relax knowing their babies are safe, happy, and getting lots of attention. I’m an active duty Coast Guard wife, looking to control my own schedule while doing something i love. I currently dont work so i have open availability I keep my pets trained and on a schedule. They get fed twice a day and i walk them at least twice a day. (Yes that includes the cat)… i live in a trailer so i make sure to keep them entertained and that they have enough outside time since we live in a small space. I make sure our place is tidy and clean and we have enough toys to calm their anxiety. I will treat other’s pets as my own
About: We have been living in Mexico for the past few years so that's why you don't see any recent reviews. We are returning to our Key West home in May 2026. Our 2026 Key West availability is mid-May through October. We have a fenced yard and I work at home so around most of the time. Our 3 labs have all passed over the rainbow bridge so this is how we get our doggie love these days. I volunteer with the Key West animal shelter and have also volunteered while in Mexico (those are dogs with a rough life). Both Gary and I are experienced dog owners, and our midtown Key West location is convenient. We are friendly but firm with the dogs and welcome your well-behaved, adorable pooch. We are flexible with drop-off and pick-up hours within reason. We are also super cautious with security and do not leave dogs outside in the yard while we are gone. Get in touch, we would love to hear from you. We have a fenced yard so there's some outside play space. I do not leave dogs unattended outside just to be on the safe side. We are both retired, so we have flexible schedules for playtime, walks, etc. Morning and evening exercise with the dog will be standard, unless you tell us otherwise. Our yard is fenced and we are diligent about never leaving dogs in the yard if we are gone from the house. If we're not there, they are in the house.

About: I have multiple years of experience with both housesitting and babysitting, which has helped me know how important it is to stick to feeding schedules, keep spaces tidy, and provide consistent care and companionship. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, so I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and responsible, and I always make sure to follow instructions carefully so your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. Excited to meet your pup! I am available after 5pm to watch your pets while you go party! I’ll come to you at your house, resort, rental, etc. and make sure your pet is comfortable, entertained, fed, watered, and gets adequate potty breaks.

I provide attentive in-home pet care, maintaining routines, feeding schedules, exercise, and medications as needed! Your pet will be comfortable and safe in a familiar environment while you’re away. Important Notes: -I do not transport your pet in my personal vehicle -I do not board your pet in my home -I do not take your pet off-leash when outdoors at any point, nor purposefully bring them into environments with potentially unfamiliar dogs (like dog parks) These terms are for both my own safety and the safety of your pet!
About: I've started dog walking a year ago because my son was on his way to college and because I am retired at the young age of 38, I needed to find a way to feel useful and to give back and of course to feel happy. Walking pups and hanging out with them fulfills my happiness and of course a way to feel like I am useful and giving back... I am extremely reliable and dependable. I will make sure you can count on me with no worries with your furry baby:) I have my own vehicle and can be counted on with in minutes.. I'm in great shape so walking and running come very easy. I have experience and would make sure you can rest easy with me spending time with your pet!
“I can’t say enough good things about Stephanie. She took incredible care of my cat while I was away and made the whole experience completely stress-free. She was super reliable, kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was obvious my cat was comfortable and well cared for. You can tell she really loves animals and goes the extra mile. Everything was clean, my cat was happy, and I came home with total peace of mind. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 15. Both friends and family have relied on me to-walk, feed, bathe, administer medications and give extra love to their fur babies. Growing up as a child I have always had a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My current experience in pet care is from working at a veterinary clinic and boarding facility so i can proudly say I have extensive experience with dogs from all walks of life. I have befriended anxious dogs who fear human and earned the acceptance of aggressive dogs. I’ve also worked with animals on a strict medical schedule. While I am currently working full time I am able to care for your fur babies before work(8am) during lunch(anywhere from 11am-2pm) or after work (5:30pm). If needed times can be adjusted please let me know at least 72hrs in advance. When letting pets outside I have a routine I like to follow. The most important thing to me is the pets safety so before letting them into the yard for play and or potty time I do check the yard for any misplace objects,iguanas,chickens, anything that could be a potential hazard to the pet. After I’ve deemed the yard clear then we can proceed to playtime or potty time. When on walks I do like to keep a short leash depending on the area in which we are walking if no cars I will loosen the lead so pet can explore more but if cars present I do like to stop/heel if possible.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Key West is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Key West
Betsy was absolutely amazing with my two cats, Stoney and Jeeter! From the moment I left for vacation, she kept me updated with frequent messages and lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like they were her own. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for cats meant everything to me. I highly recommend Betsy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Betsy!

Gayle was so wonderful with my cat! I was very nervous leaving my cat for 10 days but Gayle made me feel so much more at ease. I received daily photos and videos and she really took the time to get to know my cat. Would highly recommend her and would use her services again.
The sitter I arranged fell through so it was Katie to the rescue! She stayed in touch with me so I didn’t worry. She followed my instructions exactly. Which was really important considering how old my cat is. If I have to go out of town again, you bet I’m gonna reach out to her First. Trust me, your pets are in great care with this gal.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Key West stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
