“Tyson was excellent with our elderly pup. She was so happy every time he came by as shown in the many pictures he sent. He made our first time away very comfortable. He was always on time and spent 30-40 minutes with her each visit.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly enjoy spending time with them. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, playtime, walks, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I believe every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel happy and secure. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to their needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pets with the same love and respect I’d want for my own. I’m currently new to the Tampa area, looking to make extra money! My work schedule is From 9-6 occasionally work from home so we can always negotiate between those times, weekends im typically free! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I do my best to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks , playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, stress-free environment.

About: I’m currently cat mom to Pasha and previously raised two dogs, Noah and Cocosparklechannel, so I know firsthand how much a little consistency and attention means to a pet when their people are away. I’m here for walks, sitting, and everyday care, making sure your dog gets exercise, company, and a routine that feels familiar even when you’re not home. My schedule’s about as open as a golden retriever’s heart. Mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, whenever your pet needs me, I’m probably free. If you need a sitter, just reach out. I’ll make it work. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I treat every house like it’s my own, respecting the space, sticking to your instructions, and making sure everything is exactly how I found it. If your pet stays with me instead, my home is a safe, comfortable environment where they’ll get my full attention and plenty of love. Either way, you can trust that your pet is looked after with the same care and responsibility I’d want for my own.

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I have several years of hands-on experience working in veterinary medicine. I am currently finishing my degree in Biological Sciences with a Pre-Veterinary concentration and plan to attend veterinary school in the future. I am also a NAVTA Approved Veterinary Assistant with experience caring for dogs and cats in general practice and urgent situations. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, anxious animals, and high-energy dogs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize signs of stress or illness and provide attentive, compassionate care while keeping your pet safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, medication administration, playtime, or overnight care, I treat every animal like my own. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone else, so I always provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses. I am dependable, patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal care. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you are away! I’m currently taking 2 online classes, and will be dedicating the rest of my time to pet sitting! I am looking to work as much as possible this year so I can save up for my veterinary education. Routine and structure are very important to me! I prioritize maintaining consistent schedules, enrichment, exercise, and meeting each pet’s individual needs. I have experience working with breed-specific behaviors and understand that every animal thrives with different types of care and stimulation. My own cat is definitely spoiled with cuddles, playtime, and enrichment activities, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away.

I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for family and friends, and I always treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and love I would give my own. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Whether they’re playful and energetic or shy and need a little extra patience, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your fur baby is safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. currently have a morning internship on weekdays that ends around 12:10 PM, leaving my afternoons, evenings, and weekends available for pet care. I’m happy to plan visits, playtime, feeding, walks, and companionship around each pet’s usual routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I carefully follow their normal feeding, litter, walking, and care routines so they can feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets, respectful of each pet’s boundaries, and will provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates while you’re away.

About: I used to work at an animal hospital. And I used to work out a dog at daycare. I’m trying to start my own animal sitting job. I’m trying to save up the money to go back to school to be a vet veterinarian technician to work in the animal hospital again. The pet car fit into my daily and weekly routine is because I take care of four dogs at home. I love working with animals and I want to have my own doggy daycare one day. How I care for pets in my home is feeding them, playing with them, taking them out walking them. I love taking care of animals.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with both dogs and cats, so caring for them has always come naturally to me I currently have a small Maltese and a cat of my own, so I understand how different each pet’s personality and needs can be. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve also cared for pets for family members through boarding and drop-in visits, along with dog walking, so I’m familiar with different routines, energy levels, and temperaments. What you can expect with me: • A calm, loving, and safe environment • Personalized care based on your pet’s needs • Experience with both dogs and cats • Patience with shy, anxious, or senior pets • Daily updates so you always feel connected I truly treat every pet like they’re my own... with love, attention, and lots of care Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they get the attention they deserve Since I already care for my own dog and cat, I’m used to maintaining consistent routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m home often, which allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, and a calm environment. I make time each day for: • Morning and evening routines (feeding, potty breaks, walks) • Playtime and interaction throughout the day • Rest and quiet time to keep pets relaxed • Check-ins, walks, or drop-in visits as scheduled I keep my schedule intentionally flexible so I can prioritize the pets I’m caring for and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away At home, I have two pets, a small Maltese and a cat , who are both very friendly and adapt well to other animals. I always prioritize safe introductions and make sure every pet feels at ease in the space. I keep routines as close to home as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra patience.

About: From puppies to mice, I’ve seen them all! It might seem difficult to find someone who knows for to care for an exotic animal, but no matter how unique your family is, I’ve most likely been there and done that! I’m a college student going to USF. My schedule offers me many gaps and allows for drop in pet sitting during the day! I’m usually not at school for any longer than 5 hours! All pets In my care receive plenty of physical and mental exercise (depending on their needs of course), ensuring that they stay happy while you’re gone! Having experienced volunteering at an animal shelter, I always make sure to follow the rules that I learned in order to keep all parties safe!

About: Pets have been a part of my life since day one - I've rarely not had a dog, a cat, or both at home. That's a lifetime of knowing what animals need, how they think, and how to make them feel safe and loved when their owners are away. . Your pet won't just be looked after - they'll be in good hands with someone who loves to care for animals. My schedule is open and flexible, so I can work around what works best for you and your pet. I'm available most days and happy to coordinate drop-in times that fit your routine. Drop-ins are done at your home, so your pet gets to stay in the environment they're already comfortable in. I follow your instructions to the letter - feeding schedules, routines, off-limit areas, whatever you need. Your home and your pet are treated with full respect every visit.

Jordan was amazing! We booked her on very short notice the same day we left for the weekend, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She took wonderful care of our dog, Bella, and sent a detailed care card with updates and pictures after every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. During one of her visits it was raining and Bella doesn’t like the rain, so couldn’t get her evening walk. Rather than just leaving it at that, Jordan came back later to try again so Bella could get her walk. That extra effort really meant a lot to us. Even though we only booked care for Bella, Jordan also took the time to play with our cat during her visits, which was such a thoughtful bonus and truly appreciated. Jordan was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially on such short notice. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Land O' Lakes on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $24 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 6,110 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Land O' Lakes. 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 pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Land O' Lakes choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 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 .

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.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
