About: Ive worked with animals my entire life from large to small dogs to horses! I can accommodate senior dogs however I work particularly well with those pets who need plenty of stimulation and play time, I’ll work with ANY dog breed. I have one year of experience working in a professional pet daycare so I have no problem cleaning up after them no matter vomit or excrement I got you. And if you need to take your dog to the vet but they’re a little too heavy to get into the car by yourself, feel free to reach out and I’ll help you load them at a discount. Ready any time, whenever or whatever I’m your guy, I assure you I have the time and ability for it. Name a time and I be there 30 minutes ahead of schedule During my time working at a Pet daycare, I was in charge of over 30 dogs including overnight care. This included feeding, watering, cleaning kennels, taking them out to go potty(and picking up after), playing, monitoring for illness, and accommodating for any disabilities such as lack of limb or dry skin. You name it and I guarantee I can accommodate

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from beloved family pets to farm animals and reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities, sizes, and needs. My experience has taught me that every animal deserves patient, attentive, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has a unique routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. My availability gives me the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine, provide timely potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they have fresh water and a clean environment. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it.

About: I was raised around dogs and cats. Right now, I'm working part-time. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Pets are family in my house! I love animals. ❤️ I no longer offer overnight stays, although I can come for a couple hours in the AM and PM! Currently have the flexibility to set my own hours. My schedule varies week to week. I understand that taking care of pets can be a lot of effort, so I'm here to help lighten the load. I just have cats right now—four of them, to be exact. I take care of their litter boxes, make sure they get fed, and keep their water fresh. Plus, I give them all the love and attention they really deserve. They’re definitely part of my family.

About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all kinds and currently share my home with my two-year-old doodle mix, who loves making new friends. I provide a safe and loving environment where pets feel at home while their owners are away. From walks and playtime to snuggles and personalized care, I ensure each pet’s unique needs are met. Your furry friend will be treated like family, with plenty of attention and love during their stay! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to provide constant attention and care. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any special needs into my day. Being home full-time ensures that your pet is never left alone for long periods and always has someone nearby to care for them. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate pets with specific routines or preferences. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets in my home. I have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure space for outdoor play and exercise under close supervision. Inside, pets are cared for in a clean, pet-friendly environment where they can relax comfortably.

Emily W. did an excellent job caring for my two cats. My cats are very shy, but Emily did her best to make them feel comfortable. She even put my trash and recycling cans out on trash day and returned them to the garage. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and. are and have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and a little more care with their routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship and a comfortable environment. I don’t have experience caring for cats but I have been around cats! I currently work M-F 8-5. I would be able to drop in before and after that and anytime on the weekends. Whether that is walking or checking on the pets. I am attentive to pets in their own homes and respectful of others belongings. I do not offer to care for pets in my home.

About: Hello all! I currently work from home and have all the time to pay close attention to the care of your beloved family member. I grew up in a show dog home and to this day I still help my family at dog shows around the state. I used to be a veterinary technician so I can care for pets who are on a strict routine. I play very close attention to routines, and give a bunch of pets and love. From puppies to seniors or docile to rambunctious. I can handle them all. Your beloved family member will be in good hands with me. I also know how to do a bit of grooming. Say if you needed bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning or all of the above. I would love to care for your lovely family member. Thank you so very much for your consideration. I work full time remote from the comfort of my own home. I am very thankful to be able to have as much time as I can with my own personal pets and those of others. Animals are my passion. I studied animal science/zoology in the university of Florida and was a veterinary technician for 5 years. I strive to give every animal the amount of love I give my own.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up on my family’s farm, I had the opportunity to care for all kinds of animals and learn how to meet their individual needs. I’ve raised and cared for newborn puppies and dogs, kittens and cats, horses, ducks, chickens, reptiles, fish, and so much more. Today, I’m a proud pet mom to Duke, my senior dog, and my two cats, Charlotte and Finley. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. Whether your pet needs a little extra attention, a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and make sure you receive plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work full time Monday - Friday 7-3:30pm. Fridays and Weekends I am available as needed and can be contacted at any time for service. I love walking dogs and will ensure your baby gets the exercise and love they need with safety being my main priority. I have a life long habit of double checking locks, leashes, and food/water bowls. As a pet owner myself - my eldest dog duke has been through not one, but TWO knee surgeries so i am comfortable with giving medication, and bandaging as needed.

About: My approach to pet sitting is centered around patience, safety, affection, and making each pet feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every animal in my care like family and do my best to maintain the routines, boundaries, and care instructions that their pet parents have established. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and have their individual routine and needs respected. Depending on their personality and care instructions, they’ll enjoy plenty of playtime, walks, exercise, affection, and opportunities to relax and feel comfortable. Safety & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are always a top priority in my home. I provide a safe, welcoming environment with two spacious patios and plenty of grass for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. Pets are never left without someone available to care for them—we work as a team, and either my husband or I will be present and attentive to their needs throughout their stay. With your permission and depending on your pet’s comfort level and routine, I can also take them to a local dog park for additional exercise and socialization. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and make sure every pet receives the supervision, attention, and care they need to feel secure and at home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old and was the neighborhood dog-sitter. Now, I’m still the neighborhood dog-sitter in my new neighborhood and have two pups with my husband and two girls that we love and adore. They are the BEST running buds and the sweetest cuddlers! I am a full-time stay-at-home mama to our two little girls and our two bernedoodles! Our two pups are 5 and 6 years old. They are bundles of joy and energy which makes for a really great time and great friends to your pups while they stay with us! I can meet whatever needs your pup has, whether medical needs or just other specific needs in general. One of our pups has Addison’s disease so I’m acquainted with steroid administration and recognizing behaviors that may indicate something is not right early on. He’s been in crisis before and we have been able to catch it quick and immediately get him help to save his life! Our hope is that your pup doesn’t have this happen while he/she stays with us, but just wanted to disclose that for any worrying hearts. We have a big fenced yard, but it does have a pool, so if this may be an issue, just let us know and we can leash your pup to take him/her out and go on early-morning walks instead to beat the heat! I’m home full time so taking care of our toddler, baby, and two pups is my job! In the morning, we go for a jog while it’s cool. During the day when it’s hot, we play indoors with bones and tennis balls (our dogs are intense chewers so this helps them tremendously when the summer heat is too much for them)! In the evening, we go for a short walk around the neighborhood (1-2 miles) to get any last sniffs and poos out before bed! We can also accommodate any specific requests. We also know that some dogs are unable to keep up with that activity level so we accommodate for that as well with more cuddles and less activity! We have 2 friendly pups to keep your fur baby company! We love to go on jogs together, but enjoy the indoors just as much!

About: I have had three small dogs that I have raised and trained from puppies, and I cared for my elderly pomeranian as he got older. At college I do not have a dog, so I have plenty of time and energy to care for your pets. I am very much an animal lover and would care for your dog as my own! I am available every afternoon and most mornings, weekdays and weekends! I have classes mid mornings Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. Weekends depend on my availability. I have a screened in patio as well as a fenced in yard. I have a very well tempered little dog to keep your dog company if I need to bring them home. I will never lose sight of your dog if they are outside, as I will be aware of their location at all times.

About: Hi, my name is Mia! I've lived in Lithia on and off my whole life and I've pet sit for a handful of families in the area. My mom previously owned her own pet sitting business in Fishhawk, which I sometimes helped her with. We recently lost our family dog this past October. She had diabetes and was reactive, so I am comfortable around pets that may have behavioral issues, or who need shots and oral medications. I love all kinds of animals and would love to talk more about looking after your furry friends. I recently left my government job so I currently have full availability. I can take dogs on walks, to the dog park, or anywhere else suitable for animals. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to pets. I want to keep your pet safe, as well as others who may encounter your pet when I'm watching them. As a result, I'd like to know about any aggression or reactive behavior so I know how to handle situations if your pet encounters other people or animals on a walk or otherwise. Additionally, I do not like using retractable leashes on dogs. If you'd like me to care for your dog, please ensure you can provide something other than a retractable leash.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lithia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lithia on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,439 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lithia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lithia 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.

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 Lithia 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 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.

To find sitters in Lithia with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lithia. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
