“Cat is always on time and SO good with our kitty. She goes above and beyond to spend time with our cat, rescuing her toys and keeping us updated while we are away. Having Cat has made traveling so much easier!”
“AJ was very kind to accommodate a same day request. He is communicative, punctual, and took the time to write a thorough report card with lots of pictures. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Jaritza provided for my dog! She went above and beyond to ensure my pup was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I received plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was loved and treated like family. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable experience handling animals, recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, and assisting with daily pet care needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. As someone planning to continue pursuing veterinary medicine, I truly care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive to routines and instructions, and I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already have a flexible schedule and a strong background working with animals. I’m typically available before and after my classes/work shifts, as well as on weekends, which allows me to consistently provide morning, midday, and evening care depending on your pet’s needs. Because I previously worked as a vet tech for, I’m used to structuring my day around animal care responsibilities like feeding schedules, medication times, walks, and monitoring behavior. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, so I can easily adjust my routine to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, walk routines, and any specific behavioral or medical needs. My experience as a vet tech has helped me stay calm and observant, so I can quickly notice if something seems off with a pet’s behavior or health. I also make sure the home stays secure by double-checking doors, gates, and leashes during walks. I respect the client’s space by keeping things clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. Most importantly, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and stress-free by giving them patience, attention, and a calm presence while their owners are away.
About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I would love to walk and love on your fur babies while you’re away! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I love walking in and seeing the smiles when they know they get to go for a walk! I’m a local PreK teacher so my schedule is usually free after 3:30 on weekdays, but my weekends are usually wide open! Growing up I always had animals in my house so I’m very comfortable with messes they make or medicine they need, so if your babies need that too I’d be more than happy to help! If you’re looking for someone to have your pets feel comfortable and happy all day, even while you’re away, I’d love to be that person! I'm currently a PreK teacher at a local elementary school, so my weekdays are open starting around 3:30 pm! On the weekends, I usually hang out at home or around town, so my schedule is pretty flexible! In your home, I promise to follow whatever makes your pets the most comfortable! Whether your dogs like to lounge on the couch or feel more content in a crate, I'll do whatever you'd like!
About: Hi! I have taken care of pets since I was ten. I have had my own dogs my whole life so I am well experienced. I am studying in college right now but I have free time during the week so it fits into my schedule. I am an early riser and can stay up late if I need to check in! I make sure the pet is comfortable with me always and not butting in their space! I wanna make them feel as welcome as possible with me!
“Alyssa is awesome we trust her!!! She has done drop in and long weekend visits. My 3 papillons are well taken care of and we never worry about their care with Alyssa. She’s reliable and trust worthy.”
“Stephanie was amazing 10⭐️. I could tell the second I met her or even communicated through messaging, that she loved animals. After the meet and greet, I totally felt at ease leaving my dog 🐶 in her hands. Don’t second guess who to go with, definitely go with Stephanie. Im newer to the area and Stephanie is for sure my new go to for all my animal help😁🥳 BIG THANK YOU STEPHANIE🤩”
“My boyfriend and I went out of town for a week to visit family and could not have done it without Tyson. I felt so confident my babies were in good hands. He sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated on both of them. He was very good about being consistent with his times to make it easy for my babies to stay in a somewhat routine while we were gone. Thank you Tyson and I appreciate you more than I can express in words. I’ll definitely be keeping him in mind for my next trip out of town.”
““I’ve never felt so at ease leaving my dog. The care was exceptional — walks, meals, meds, cuddles — everything was handled with so much heart. The photo and video updates were the highlight of our trip. If you’re looking for someone who treats your fur babies like their own, look no further. Simply outstanding!””
“Had a great experience with Kelby! Maintained the scheduled visits as planned, sent pics, and sent a message with each visit. Thank you Kelby!!! Will definitely use again!”
“Carly is such a joy! She replies so quickly, is reliable and responsible, and my pet loves her. She sent me lots of photos from a drop in visit and followed all instructions perfectly. I look forward to her watching my pup again soon!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl, and we got our first cat just a few years ago but they’ve seem to have fallen in love with me lol. My main concern is making sure your pet is happy and comfortable, doesn’t matter the situation. I’m very gentle with them and I always make sure to communicate or ask when necessary, I don’t want to assume and be wrong or not inform you if something happens. I am in college, I have classes 3 days a week, so I’m home quite a bit. I do not currently work so I’m typically free the remaining days. I volunteer/workout in my free time so I can be flexible! Just ask if a day/time works, I’ll do my best to accommodate! I’m in an apartment so I don’t have a lot of space inside. The complex does have a little fenced in dog area, and there are some dog parks in the area that I would be willing to go to if you have a more active pet. I don’t have anything toxic in the apartment, or in a place they could reach at least (medicines/rubbing alcohol, that sort of stuff). I also like going on longer walks, 20-30 min if the weather is nice.
“Thx for dropping in on our pups. I’m actually shocked how much they both immediately took to you. They haven’t stopped barking about you since you left. We will reach out next time we need them looked after.”
About: Hi, I am Neli and I have been taking care of dogs for most of my life. I have helped family and friends with their pets while working and traveling. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I look forward to getting acquainted with your pets and helping you take care of them. My flexible schedule allows me to spend as much time with your dogs as needed. Thank you for considering me for your pets’ needs. . I have a flexible schedule during the week and I am able to check on your pets throughout the day. I am also available occasionally on weekends. I currently do not have a dog so I am looking forward to spending time with your pups and loving on them. It would be greatly appreciated. 😉

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lutz
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!
Rachel has been a true blessing whenever we need a sitter for our German Shepherds. She is comfortable with this breed and larger dogs, which puts us - as well as our dogs - at ease in our absence! Rachel is our first contact when we need a sitter, as she’s extremely professional, very responsive, and leaves wonderful notes/photos!
Juliana provided wonderful care to my three fur babies while I traveled out of town. Within minutes, all pets felt comfortable enough to seek attention and stand next to her. I received pictures and communication throughout the entire booking. I highly recommend!

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

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.

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.
