âSuch a great feeling to know our fur babies are being well taken care of while we are out enjoying the area. Thanks again Doris.The pups look forward to seeing you again soon.â


âI love using her and find her to be very reliable. This is ~the 5th time that Brittany has cared for "my babies" while I'm traveling. She has been absolutely fabulous with them, and although I didn't request updates from her, she was so kind to text me updates and photos of Teddy, Bella and Scarlet. It was much appreciated and always make me smile. I would highly recommend Brittany to care for your pet. I have already got my next visit scheduled. :)â

About: I have always loved animals from a young age. I have two cats of my own, Bean & Gator :) Iâm currently caring for numerous clients including the Penix familyâs (as in Micheal Penix, starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons!) Iâve decided to expand my clientele over to Rover! I have years of experience walking, feeding, bathing/grooming, etc all sorts of different house & farm animals. I specialize in day-to-day care but I also am more than qualified to administer medications, bottle feed, and take special care for newborn and senior pets. Iâm a Veterinary Technician working in Dade City with two pets of my own, lots of space in my home for private rooms for boarding, and a clean and spacious front/back yard. I look forward to meeting you & your furbaby!! đ I spend everyday with my two cats, along with working a few days a week at a veterinary clinic where iâm learning more and more each day on how to provide optimal care for animals. I have an additional room in my home to provide a private space for your pet which is completely sanitized after each guest. I provide treats of all different types for everyoneâs pallet and dietary needs. I have a reliable source of transportation to ensure I can be there for your loved one. I have multiple sizes of leashes for walks, crates for any anxious or needing pets and plenty of toys and time to keep them entertained.
About: Hi, I have a cat who I love dearly and am looking to take care of others. I have tons of experience growing up with animals, dogs and cats. I am a college student with a far good amount of free time. Looking to walk or feed animals in my free time for spare money. If I plan on walking dogs, I will arrive on schedule and handle them with care. For cats the same goes as well, providing my undivided attention to them.
About: Iâve owned dogs my entire life and went to school to train them. Iâve dog (and puppy) sat for neighbors and friends. I have two pups of my own so your fur baby will have friends to play with. Theyâre both super sweet, so you wonât have to worry about your baby being bullied. I supervise all playtime, especially outside. If you want/need to have a crate for yours, please bring it so I can absolutely accommodate. Your baby will be loved as my own. đ¤ There will always be playtime inside and outside depending on the weather. I can send you pictures during your babyâs stay with updates of how everything is going. 𼰠I work from home so I am always around to supervise and there are cameras around the house to keep an eye if we have to step out. đ I have plenty of toys they can play with, and you can bring their favorite ones as well. If Iâm stopping by your house, Iâll make sure everything is as you left it and follow any and all instructions you have left. đ
âMadlen is great! Highly recommend! She is knowledgeable on care for dogs and is very accommodating to any request needed. Oakley immediately felt comfortable with her which left me at peace. I will definitely be using Madlen frequently for my dog sitting/walking needs.â


About: With years of experience as a former veterinary technician, I specialize in caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens, as well as senior pets. Now, I run a family-owned pet sitting business, providing expert care across multiple breeds. The daily or weekly routine includes feeding and watering, walks and playtime, and administering medication if necessary, while also handling other duties like cleaning the litter box and providing general companionship. The goal is to maintain consistency for the pet's health and reduce stress. I prioritize establishing and maintaining the pet's routine, which includes feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I ensure the pet's safety by understanding their behaviors, securing the home to prevent escapes, and having all necessary supplies ready. Throughout the stay, I provide plenty of affection and engagement while communicating regularly with the client.
âStefanie came to walk my dogs to get to know them before our trip away. The dogs remembered her from our meet and greet and enjoyed their walk and both went potty. I feel very comfortable with her coming back to care for my dogs after seeing her interact with them and seeing how much she cares. She truly cares for animals and it shows.â

About: I have volunteered with This is the Dog! in Homestead, FL for several years. I also fostered dogs of all sizes in my home. I am comfortable with most furry creatures of any, and all sizes. I have experience with tiny Yorkies to giant English Mastiffs, and cats of all sizes as well! I also have experience with giving injections and oral medications to dogs and cats. I am new to the Wesley Chapel area. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, look no further! I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have! I look forward to hearing from you soon and have a fantastic day! I'm available anytime Thursday-Sunday (as shown on my calendar). I can do early mornings or late evenings. I am a full time nurse with a set schedule, so Iâm available on my days off. I can do whatever makes you feel safe! All walks would be leashed if not in your private, fenced, back yard. I have no problem crating or letting them roam free! Whatever your pet is accustomed to is what I do.
About: **We may have lost our fur babies, but we certainly haven't lost our love for dogs!** â¤ď¸đž We're Mike and Charity, a husband-and-wife team who believe that dogs aren't *just pets.* They're family. They're our best friends, our loyal companions, our four-legged children, and sometimes, the very best part of a long, difficult day. For years, our home was filled with the sounds of wagging tails, happy paws, squeaky toys, sloppy kisses, and the unconditional love that only a dog can give. First, there was our beautiful Golden Retriever, **Ally**, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge in the spring of 2015. Then came our sweet yellow Labrador Retriever, **Izzy**, who blessed our lives with more than nine wonderful years of love, laughter, companionship, and unforgettable memories. We recently said our heartbreaking goodbye to Izzy in September 2026, and to say our hearts are still healing would be an understatement. **Our home is a little quieter these days. Our hearts are a little heavier. And there's a special kind of emptiness where four paws and a wagging tail used to be.** While we're not quite ready to welcome another dog into our family permanently, we know one thing for certain: **We still have an enormous amount of love to give.** And that's why we're here! We would be absolutely delighted to welcome your precious doggo into our home, even if it's just for a little while. Whether you're heading out of town, taking a vacation, or simply need someone you can trust to love and care for your furry family member, we'd be honored to help. We're not looking at this as simply pet sitting. We're looking at it as an opportunity to share the love that Ally and Izzy taught us so much about. **When your dog stays with us, they're not just a guest. They're family.** That means plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, ear scratches, playtime, conversations (yes, we absolutely talk to dogs!), hugs, and an unlimited supply of nose boops. And if your pup prefers a quiet afternoon curled up beside us, that's perfectly wonderful, too. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved companion in someone else's care. We've been those pet parents ourselves. We know the worry, the questions, and the desire to know that your baby is safe, comfortable, happy, and genuinely loved while you're away. **We'll treat your dog with the same tenderness, patience, attention, and affection that we gave Ally and Izzy.** We'll respect their routines, their personalities, their needs, and all the little quirks that make them uniquely yours. Perhaps the greatest gift our girls left us was the understanding that love doesn't end when we say goodbye. It simply finds new ways to be shared. And maybe, just maybe, having a few more happy paws, wet noses, and wagging tails visiting our home will help heal two hearts that miss their girls terribly. **Your dog gets a loving home away from home. We get the joy of sharing our love with another furry friend. And everybody gets unlimited boops!** đśâ¤ď¸ We can't wait to meet your best friend! **With love, belly rubs, and a whole lot of puppy kisses,** **Mike & Charity** đž *In loving memory of Ally & Izzy â forever our girls, forever in our hearts.* One of the wonderful things about our current schedules is that we have plenty of time to devote to your furry family member! Between the two of us, at least one of us is typically home throughout the day, so your pup will have lots of companionship, attention, and love. We're not the kind of pet parents who believe a dog should spend the day alone waiting for someone to come home. We enjoy having a four-legged companion nearby, whether we're relaxing, watching TV, working around the house, or heading outside for some fresh air. We'll follow your dog's regular feeding, walking, potty, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. Our primary time away together is typically Sunday mornings for church, and we'll always communicate about scheduling in advance. Your dog won't just fit into our routine. We'll happily make them part of our day! Having raised and loved two wonderful fur babies of our own, we understand that trusting someone else with your dog is a BIG deal. We don't take that responsibility lightly! Our home is a place where dogs are treated like family, not simply boarded as guests. We offer a comfortable, loving environment with plenty of attention, companionship, and affection. Since we're currently without pets of our own, your pup won't have to compete with our resident dogs for attention! We respect every dog's individual needs, personality, and comfort level. Some dogs want to cuddle right beside you, while others prefer their own quiet space. We're happy to accommodate both! We'll carefully follow your instructions regarding food, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and other special needs. If your dog is crate-trained and needs their crate for comfort or safety, we're happy to accommodate that with advance arrangements. We'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your precious pup is being loved and cared for. Our philosophy is simple: **We care for your dog the way we always wanted someone to care for ours.**

I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels,including puppies and senior dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, groom(including cut), play with, and care for their pets while theyâre away. Iâm patient, dependable, safety-focused, and I always try to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and relaxed in my care. I also enjoy being outdoors, so walks and active playtime are something I genuinely enjoy!

About: I grew up helping my grandparents take care of their rescues. Feeding, bathing, and walking them as well as vet trips. Because of growing up around animals I now have two dogs and three cats. I currently work 40 hours a week, however because my schedule has me working nights, and itâs a set schedule, itâs easy to help someone care for their pets. Growing up around dogs and dog sitting for a friend, I know how to treat dogs and know that all dogs are different. Iâm willing to stick to a schedule if need be.
About: Iâve worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities building my knowledge and skills i already had prior to them! I am now a professional groomer and have seen a lot. I have experience providing medications, dealing with high energy breeds, and special needs as well. I have also worked with training for dogs, although this is not professionally. I have my own dogs as well, so theyâre apart of my daily life outside of work as well! I love building relationships with pets and the pet parents. I do work full time, and my schedule is not set at this moment. I have every Thursday off however. I would love to fit whatever I can into my schedule to help out! Boarding in my home is not an option i have available at this moment, but id be more than happy to sit in pet parents home when im available. I follow instructions very well, and can problem solve. Routine is also something iâm big about, so iâll make sure your babies stay on theirs!
About: What truly sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attention, and understanding I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while youâre away. I have a calm, patient demeanor and a strong intuition when it comes to animals, which helps me quickly build trustâeven with shy or anxious pets. Iâm experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including those with special needs or medical conditions. Iâm confident in administering medication, following detailed care routines, and adapting to your petâs unique personality and preferences. Whether your dog loves long walks, interactive playtime, or just relaxing company, I tailor each visit to meet their emotional and physical needs. Beyond basic care, I prioritize communication and reliability. Youâll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in responsible, loving hands. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your petâand I go the extra mile to make that happen! I currently work from home full-time so my schedule is flexible. I already have a dog that requires walking so adding another would be no problem! I have a friendly two year old cocker spaniel named Louis who would love some company. I also have a crate if itâs needed. Walks and play time is a must in this household!

âAshley is very reliable and always shows up on time. She is wonderful with our goldendoodle who is always happy to see her. I would highly recommend her! This is a big help to us during the week, since e are away for 8 hours in the days. This helps in getting our dogs' energy out so that they will sleep well at night (and us too).â

About: I've had the privilege of handling and caring for different cats and dogs of various ages and temperaments. I have cared for feral cats, stray dogs, shelter surrenders, rescues, fosters, family and friend's pets. Over the years I've gained experience with the guidance of veterinary professionals, volunteers, and animal enthusiasts! As young as 11 years old I began to understand and hone in on my ability to empathically and responsibly care for other living animals. Now 24, I'm continuing to expand my knowledge and skills in the animal care world to give the best nurturing and love to all of the furbabies I can! I can enrich, play, feed + water and walk +/or hangout with your canine/feline pal(s) at the times avaliable in my schedule and remain open/flexible within those time frames Monday to Friday. I assist the animals I am care for by ensuring they are fed, watered, medicated, and engaged with at appropriate/scheduled times. They will have plenty of engagement with play, walks, cuddles/pets, treats/rewards, and/or simply relaxing around them (depending on the individual). I love being in nature and being able to take any animal able to outdoors with me (within the confines of their mobility and indepedent circumstances)(supervised of course). As for cats, if there is a catio area or the ability to go outside then I will take them out so they may enjoy that! I can provide safe and comfortable enrichment through games, toys, and puzzles you have to keep your pets feeling great during our time together.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lacoochee
I donât know why Ms. Doris isnât âstar sitterâ on Rover, but she should be! Sheâs cared for our flock many times now and always goes above and beyond! We donât worry about our guys while weâre traveling because she always takes good care of them.

Ms Doris is the best! Sheâs taken care of our flock a few times now while weâve traveled and she always knows what they need and how to handle our stubborn guys. Thankfully sheâs always been available when weâve needed her, even last minute. Ms Doris is our go-to caregiver!

Iâm so grateful we found Doris to watch our three cats! She was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of all of them. She sent us so many pictures and thoughtful daily updates, which made being away so much easier and gave us such peace of mind. Doris was incredibly communicative and really paid attention to all the little details that make each of our cats different. She took the time to understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities and made sure each of them got the care and attention they needed. She truly went above and beyond, and you can tell how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We came home to three very happy cats, and we couldnât have asked for a better sitter. Weâre so thankful for her and would absolutely have her watch them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,579 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lacoochee. 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 Lacoochee. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
