“Thank you so much for the Excellent care of my fur babies. Pics were sent of drop in visit. My pups enjoyed it. I will definitely book her again when I go on vacation.”
About: I’ve dog sat for friends and fellow cast members for over 20 years! I’m truly devoted and prefer to keep your dog in its familiar surroundings. I’m a full-time Disney cast member that have scheduled Fridays and Saturdays off and would be more than happy to watch your baby over the weekend. I prefer to have the dog in its familiar environment and to have a comprehensive plan feeding, sleeping, emergency veterinarian etc. Comfort is the key word!
“Madison was great! Awesome communication and was wonderful to my dog. I really appreciated the updates and photos. It really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future!!”
“Emmy is so awesome! She was willing to come over and meet us prior to the visit so that our cat could get comfortable with her. He is a little high maintenance, and she did such an awesome job of taking care of him and providing updates and photos along the way. I felt totally comfortable with her and her background in the vet field made us feel at ease. We will definitely be rebooking with her!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and breeds for over 10 years. I love giving pets a safe space to call home, even if it's temporary! I work from home so I am able to walk, play with, feed, and spend time with pets all throughout the day. Your pets will thank you for bringing them to me! I have an In-community dog park to allow the dogs to run and play. I enjoy play time with the pups and also make sure they follow any routine the owner leaves me, regardless of at my house or yours!
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have three sweet, friendly dogs of my own, and I truly treat them like my children. In my home, dogs are family—they’re welcome on the furniture, can sleep in the bed if that’s what they’re used to, and get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. We have a large yard where the dogs love to run and play, and they’re just as happy relaxing inside together. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pup is being cared for just like one of my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life because I have three dogs of my own. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, and both my significant other and I work just five minutes from home, so the dogs are never left alone for long. My daily routine revolves around feeding, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention, so welcoming another dog into our home fits in naturally. I make it a priority to ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play. I also have a dedicated dog room, as well as kennels available if a dog needs their own space for meals, rest, or if separation is preferred. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, so you can feel confident that your dog will be in a safe environment. Whether your pup loves to play or simply relax, they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care in a secure, welcoming home.
About: I'm a dedicated stay-at-home dog mom who loves caring for pups of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I am trained in pet first aid and CPR so your furry family member will always be in safe hands. Whether it's belly rubs, walks or cuddle time, I treat every dog like I would my own. I am currently a stay at home dog mom so my schedule is pretty flexible. A natural part of my daily routine revolves around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime and lots of cuddles. I will care for pets in my home as if they were my own! They will enjoy a safe environment with regular potty breaks, walks and play time.
About: I am experienced, responsible, friendly and loved by pets of all ages. Get reliable pet sitting from someone who’s raised a Westie and wrangled puppies. I live and work locally in Lakeland. Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.
“Thanks Chelsea for Saturdays Visit! This was our first time using Rover! It was a good experience, from the Meet and Greet and the day we needed her. Chelesa responded quickly to emails! We had a change of schedule and she was very accommodating to stop in a little later then she was originally scheduled to stop in. Thanks, Buddy and Guiley”
About: I have about 2 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have provided dog-sitting and currently cat-sit, as well as offer drop-in visits to feed pets, let dogs out, provide companionship, and follow any specific instructions from their owners. I genuinely love animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently care for a cat who has been staying with me, and Monday through Friday I care for two of my neighbors’ dogs by letting them out, feeding and watering them, and spending time playing with them. I enjoy caring for animals and making sure they receive the attention and care they need. In my home, I care for our dogs and cats by feeding and watering them, grooming and bathing them, playing with them, and working on basic training. I make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I would follow their specific instructions and routines to make sure their pets receive the same level of care and attention they are used to.
About: I am almost done with my CVA, which has given me hands on experience with animal care and a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to recognize when a pet may be stressed, uncomfortable, or need extra attention. I’m very attentive to routines like feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care instructions you have for your pet. I also volunteered at a horse rescue for 6 years, which has helped me become even more patient and comfortable working with animals that all have different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and extra energy or an older pet who needs a gentler approach, I’m confident in providing calm, dependable care and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I currently attend CVA school and as of right now im doing the externship part, I will be done early October! Outside of school, I’m available the rest of the day and can realistically spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I also care for my own animals every day, including my dogs, cat, and reptiles—a snake, bearded dragon, turtle, and leopard gecko—so feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, cleaning cages, and keeping their spaces clean are all part of my normal routine. My entire day is basically centered around animals between school and caring for my own pets, so pet sitting fits very naturally into my life. I care for pets with a lot of attention, and fun! I usually feed my pets at the same time every day and follow a schedule, but I keep it flexible so it works for each pet’s needs. I give dry food and simple medications like NexGard but, I also have experience handling special diets and other medications. Playtime happens whenever pets seem bored or want to go outside. I have lots of toys, treats, and fun activities inside, and I enjoy running with dogs outside or taking them on car rides. I also do some basic training for fun, though I’m not a professional trainer. I keep spaces clean and comfortable, cages and tanks are cleaned regularly, puppy pads are replaced, and everything is wiped down with disinfectant as needed. Pets have their own quiet areas, toys, and treats to feel calm and safe. I’m very observant of their behavior, so I can notice when something feels off. Pets aren’t left alone for long, except when I’m at school for a few hours. I’m used to managing multiple pets at once by keeping a close eye on everyone and giving each animal their own space when needed. My home is very clean, and I constantly sweep, mop, and vacuum. Overall, I make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, and I treat them as part of my family giving lots of love, attention, and care every day.
“Isabella was great with our pups! I could tell from the photos she sent that they were happy to hangout with her. She was responsive and very sweet. We will definitely be using her again!”

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
