About: Hi, I’m Nicole! I have been deeply passionate about animal care and looking after dogs, cats, and parrots since I was 19 years old. I specialize in providing top-tier, in-home pet sitting where your fur (or feather) babies are the most comfortable, safe, and accustomed to living. Whether your pet needs a high-energy routine, strict medical supervision, or just a lot of love while you are away, I treat every animal as if they were my own.🏡 Why Choose Me? In-Home Comfort: I come to your home so your pets can stick to their familiar routines and environment, minimizing their stress. Routine & Training Expert: Highly experienced with frequent potty breaks, strict feeding schedules, and positive crate training. Emergency Prepared: As a lifetime pet owner, I have personal experience dealing with urgent care situations and veterinary clinics. I know exactly how to stay calm and act fast in an emergency. Reliable & Mobile: I have my own dependable transportation, ensuring I am always on time for shifts and ready for any last-minute vet trips if needed. I'm currently working part-time remotely so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur and feathered babies within the Valrico, Brandon, Seffner area. Experienced with multi-potty breaks, crate training, in your home where your fur baby is accustomed to living. Have reliable Transportation, experienced dealing with urgent cares and vets from my own fur babies.
“Stacey took wonderful care of our senior Boxer, Jingles, while we were away on an international trip. From the moment we met her, we knew Jingles would be in caring and capable hands. Jingles is an older dog with some special needs, including frequent potty breaks and a few age-related quirks, and Stacey handled everything with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She kept us updated, gave us great peace of mind while we were traveling, and treated Jingles like she was her own. The biggest compliment I can give is that when we got home, Jingles spent the evening and the next morning walking around the house looking for Stacey. It's obvious they formed a special bond during the week, and that says everything about the love and attention Stacey gave her. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Stacey provided and would not hesitate to book her again. If you're looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, I highly recommend Stacey.”
“Found Rosemary to be very reliable in taking care of our pets. She was attentive to our instructions and flexible to unexpected changes. She kept us informed and updated. We really appreciate not having to stress knowing the pets were being taken very good care of while we were away.”
About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.
“Angie cared for our puppy Brody over the holiday weekend with overnight stays. She offered to meet at our house prior to the requested stay, which was much appreciated. Upon first meeting her, you could tell she is passionate about caring for animals. She made us feel comfortable leaving our dog (and cat) for the long weekend. She even put on dog TV when she left, which is a very sweet touch. House was clean when we returned. Would highly recommend!!”
“Nick won over the hearts of our two dogs (including an anxious, reactive pup) and our usually shy cat as soon as he settled in during our Thanksgiving travel. He provided multiple updates and photos, and gave us so much peace of mind! Nick exudes quiet competence and confidence with our pets, and was entirely respectful of our home. We would absolutely hire Nick again -- he won over our hearts, too.”
“Cathy did a great job with our dogs this weekend. Moose is extremely timid and even afraid of new people, but Cathy was patient and did her best to make sure he was comfortable and happy. She communicated with us well, sent pictures and left our house clean and tidy.”
About: Animals are my absolute passion, and I have a lot of hands-on experience keeping dogs and puppies of all sizes happy, safe, and loved. Through active volunteering and fostering, I’ve developed great instincts when it comes to animal routines and behavior. While I adore adult dogs, I have a massive soft spot for puppies! My foster background means I am completely comfortable with high energy, strict potty schedules, teething, and crate training. I also have a lot of experience raising young kittens and bottle babies. Because I have my own gentle dog and sweet cats at home, I specialize in taking care of dogs, puppies, and friendly young kittens who get along well with other animals. I'll treat your pets just like family! I am a college student and am currently not working, so my schedule is highly flexible. I have open availability night and day right now to give your pets undivided attention. Because I have plenty of free time, I can easily stick to your pet's exact feeding, medication, or potty routines without any distractions. I prefer boarding pets at my place so I can keep a close eye on them. I live in a large, green apartment community with a big retention pond and on-site dog parks for great walks. My home is shared with my large, incredibly gentle dog, Teddy, and my two very sweet, dog-like cats who love company. Because of my household setup, I am only able to board dogs, puppies, or young kittens who get along well with other animals. I want to ensure every pet stays completely safe, comfortable, and stress-free while staying with us
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Now, as the owner of two spoiled indoor rescue cats, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feedings, medication, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I typically work from 4:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of flexibility in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and on my days off for drop-in visits and dog walks. I’m committed to being dependable and working around your pet’s routine whenever possible. Whether they need exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also available for cat drop-in visits and understand the importance of keeping cats comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I’ll send photo updates and messages after every visit so you always know how they’re doing. I’m currently offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and cat care, so your pets can stay comfortable in the familiar surroundings of their own home. As a cat mom to two rescue cats and someone who grew up with four dogs, I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box or waste cleanup, playtime, and any other routines that help your pet feel secure. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision, and I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lithia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lithia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 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.
