About: I've dedicated my career to caring for animals and would love the opportunity to care for yours, too! Along with being the proud owner of a fun, energetic two-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd, I have several years of professional animal care experience working with both domestic and exotic animals. My background has given me extensive experience with animal behavior, daily husbandry, enrichment, administering medications, monitoring health, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always strive to provide patient, individualized care that helps them feel safe and happy. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that require medications or extra patience. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you're away. I know how much peace of mind matters when trusting someone with your pet, and I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday until 3:00 PM, so I'm available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet care after work. I'm also available most weekends with advance notice, which helps me ensure I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I do my best to be flexible, so don't hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make something work! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I'm experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and health, administering medications when needed, and remaining calm in unexpected situations. I believe communication is just as important as quality care, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt responses while you're away. I will always respect your home's routines, follow your care instructions carefully, and treat your pet like one of my own. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.

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 had dogs since I was a very young child and have two of my own today. Whether it was family or neighbors I’ve always been the go-to for pet sitting of any kind, and I hope I get the chance to show your pup or kitty the love they deserve too. I attend university online, so my schedule is very flexible and I have the ability to make as many trips as necessary a day to care for your pet, and of course I’m happy to let them sleep on my lap while I work on papers. Gaining a pets trust is important to me so I never push them beyond their comfort zone, and wait for them to choose to warm up to me.

I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of him and will definitely reach out to her for visits in the future. She kept me well updated and took such great care of him. Would highly recommend!”

“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”

About: I was a proud dog mom for 15 years, caring for my pup from playful puppyhood through his senior years, which taught me patience, love, and attentiveness. I’ve enjoyed caring for others’ pets since I was a kid and have always had a natural connection with animals. Friends and family know they can rely on me to treat every pet like my own- with gentle care and respect for their routines. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and passionate about making pets feel safe and happy while giving their owners true peace of mind. I work flexible hours which gives me the opportunity to take care of your pets when you need me! I am available daily, including weekends for drop-ins or walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I create a calm, positive environment where pets can relax whether we’re out getting exercise or I’m giving extra belly scratches in your home. I also keep open communication with pet parents sending regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can feel confident that your furry friend is happy and in good hands.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lithia on Rover is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $30 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 6,682 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lithia. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.
