“Julie took my drop in request last minute even though she usually likes a few days in advance for certain bookings without hesitation. She was very receptive and professional when it came to the whole process. We didn't do a meet and greet due to time constraint but she trusted the info given was enough to follow through anyways and didn't steer her away from taking care of my dogs needs. Julie went above and beyond by sending pictures and keeping the status of all requests updated right on time. Family and I will be using Julie as much as she'll let us in the future, I recommend you do too! Ellie girl said she was happy to have met a new friend! Thank you!”

I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.
About: I have over one year of experience caring for dogs through fostering, dog walking, grooming, and daily pet care. As a nursing student, I have developed strong caregiving, observation, and communication skills that I naturally extend to every pet I care for. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to individual needs, whether that means providing exercise, companionship, grooming, or maintaining routines. I take pride in keeping pet parents informed with real-time updates, photos, and videos, ensuring they always know how their furry family members are doing. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I maintain a reliable schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care. I’m available after 2:00 PM Monday–Wednesday and have flexible availability Thursday–Sunday for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m committed to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while accommodating each pet parent’s schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live on a quiet, low-traffic road with a large yard for supervised play and outdoor time. For added peace of mind, my property is equipped with security cameras to help ensure a safe environment for your furry family member.

“We highly recommend Samantha for any of your pet sitting needs. She recently watched our 10 year old rescue cat. She made two visits daily and not only did the necessary requirements, she spent a lot of quality time petting and bonding with him. This was the first time we have returned home from a trip not to find him the least bit skittish or anxious. We are pleased to have found his “Aunt Sam” and will continue to use her services. She does the little things to make it the perfect experience. A+++ services.”
“Naomi is absolutely amazing, she is kind, honest and trustworthy! She went above and beyond in the best possible ways for me and my family. We were in a difficult situation with our mother needing to leave her pets and go for temporary healthcare after suffering a stroke, Naomi made the pet care for the cats and dog in every way easier for us with no worries on their care and attention.”
About: I've taken care of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, birds, iguanas, ferrets and a few farm animals too. I was involved in an animal rescue group for several years, fostering many animals who had health issues. I firmly believe that all animals deserve love, shelter, safety, and food. I fall in love with almost every animal I meet! Even chickens! When I'm taking care of an animal, they get a majority of my attention and affection. I do some work from home so it should blend well. I like to meet with the owners and pets a couple of times before to be sure the animals are familiar with me and learn any important information for each pet. I try to follow the owners routine so that the pets are not confused.
“Jessica was so nice to take care of our two kitties - checking in on them twice a day, even making sure they were okay during a Tropical Storm! Great communication! Jessica was so sweet to send us pictures at each visit all the while keeping us updatied not only on the cats but our home! Will definitely have Jessica take care of our fur babies again!”

I will be home the entire time your pets are in my home. Pets are allowed on furniture and sleep in bed. I want your pets to feel secure and at home. I have a fenced yard and 2 rescue dogs of my own.

About: Hi there! I’m Hunter, and I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker with a lifelong background in animal care, and I’m excited to be offering services here on Rover. I share my home with four dogs and one very spoiled cat, including two Standard Poodles, a Miniature American Shepherd, and a Whippet/Beagle mix—so I’m very comfortable with high-energy, intelligent, and higher-maintenance pets. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, from small dogs to giant breeds, as well as horses, livestock, birds, and other exotics. I am licensed and insured as a registered pet care business under the name Your Pet Au Pair, which allows me to provide professional, reliable care while prioritizing safety and accountability. I also have experience working alongside animal rescues and assisting with the care and rehabilitation of animals who need a little extra patience and understanding. Animals have been a constant in my life, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs calm companionship, structured walks, or attentive in-home care, I’m happy to tailor my approach to what works best for them. If you have any questions or would like to see if we’re a good fit, feel free to reach out here on Rover. I’d love to meet you and your furry (or feathery!) family members 🐾 Being at home full-time allows me to commit extensive time to your precious pup(s). Whether they crave perpetual snuggling, prolonged fetch sessions, or lengthy walks, I am equipped to fulfill their requirements. I strongly believe that dogs deserve to be pampered. I can accommodate diverse feeding needs, except for raw feeding. My home provides various indoor and outdoor enrichment opportunities, including agility, automated fetch machines, wading pools, ball pits, snuffle mats, frozen lick mats, puzzle feeders, herding balls, and more. I offer essential provisions like bowls, kennels, and pens in multiple sizes, toys, and treats.
About: I have had dogs most of my life and volunteered at a large shelter back in St. Louis for more than 10 yrs. I walked dogs, took them on enrichment trips, fostered them and helped at the shelter by just cleaning and doing laundry. I loved all the different dog personalities and tried to do anything that would make their life better. I would love to take care of dogs now that I'm retired and will also be volunteering at the local shelter here I'm retired and my dog recently passed so I'm craving dog time. With no dog i now have more time to dog walk I am available to dog sit or walk but live in a small rv so dog boarding might be tricky though I'm willing to try. I live in a dog friendly park that has a nice trail and isn't very crowded
About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.

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.
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 Lecanto 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.

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.

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.
