“Arianne is a phenomenal sitter. She took care of my two cats and even used her veterinary experience to help treat one of their wounds. If you want a sitter who is understanding and knowledgeable about your pets needs, I recommend hiring Arianne! I felt at ease on my vacation knowing my cats were in her care.”

About: 🐾 More Than a Walk — I’m Here to Make Your Pup Feel Loved! I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy! I love getting to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re an energetic adventure buddy, a playful puppy, or a professional cuddle expert. 🐶❤️ I’ve had all animals (dogs, cats, chinchillas, etc) since I was 5 years old! I started walking dogs and pet sitting since I turned 12! I have about 10 years now of experience I’m comfortable with walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, drop-in visits, and keeping your pup on their normal routine. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training and follow any specific instructions you have. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is for your pup to have a safe, fun, and loving experience every time we’re together! 🐾 Flexible Care for Your Pup’s Routine I know life doesn’t always follow a perfect schedule, so I’ll work with you to make sure your pup gets the care they need when they need it! Whether your dog needs a midday walk, a potty break, a drop-in visit, playtime, or some extra company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s normal routine and keep things as consistent as possible. I also love sending photo updates 📸 so you never have to wonder what your pup is up to! Your schedule + your pup’s routine = my priority. 🐾 ❤️ Your Pup’s Safety Comes First Leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful — I completely understand! My goal is to make the experience easy and worry-free for both you and your pup. Before every booking, I’ll make sure I understand your dog’s routine, personality, leash habits, feeding schedule, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I pay close attention during walks and visits and always prioritize safe, responsible, and attentive care. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect I would want for my own. And of course, I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages along the way! 📸🐶 You enjoy your time away. I’ll make sure your pup is happy, safe, and getting plenty of love while you’re gone. ❤️

About: I am a new mom with 3 fur babies of my own. I will care for your fur babies like they’re my own. You can always trust that while your dogs are in my care they will be well loved, played with, all owner rules are followed, and frequent pet updates will always be provided. I am experienced in administering medications - baths if needed - food restrictions/allergies - caring for pregnant dogs & newborn puppy litters. I currently do not work so your fur babies will have my undivided attention - any and all their needs will be met with excellence and patience. I have a fenced yard with no holes or openings. I have 3 very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If you prefer your fur baby to be separated from my dogs I can accommodate that request no problem. I have cared for multiple dogs at a time since I was 11 and have had dogs in my home since I was little.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs and birds! I love animals and have been pet sitting for over ten years and hopefully many more. My vast experience with different species of pets helps me to adapt and problem solve in any situation. I’m happy to communicate with you and help care for your pets! I am a college graduate and I currently have one dog with my family; she is the highlight of our lives! We make sure she is in good health with her diet and veterinary visits. I have cared for many pets for my friends, family and neighbors throughout the years. I love to see animals thriving in their environment and when responsible, help out with that to the best of my abilities. In our home our porch is screened in for our dog to go outside and sunbathe, we take her for walks, and have specific food for her diet!

“Anessa is by far the most amazing sitter I’ve ever had. My cat Nunu warmed up to Anessa instantly by her calm demeanor. Anessa was incredibly patient and respectful of his boundaries. Instead of forcing interaction, she simply stood still and let him come to her on his own terms.She took such great care of him, followed all of my instructions carefully, made sure he was fed, and spent time playing with him. I also really appreciated all of the pictures and updates she sent throughout the visits. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. You can truly tell that Anessa understands animals and genuinely cares about them. She went above and beyond to make sure my shy little guy felt safe and loved. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter!”

About: Pets have been a part of my life since day one - I've rarely not had a dog, a cat, or both at home. That's a lifetime of knowing what animals need, how they think, and how to make them feel safe and loved when their owners are away. . Your pet won't just be looked after - they'll be in good hands with someone who loves to care for animals. My schedule is open and flexible, so I can work around what works best for you and your pet. I'm available most days and happy to coordinate drop-in times that fit your routine. Drop-ins are done at your home, so your pet gets to stay in the environment they're already comfortable in. I follow your instructions to the letter - feeding schedules, routines, off-limit areas, whatever you need. Your home and your pet are treated with full respect every visit.

About: I have worked with cats and dogs for many years. I have trained my own dog who is very well tempered and I have administered different types of medicines to older and younger animals! I have a very open schedule as a college student and love spending time with animals! I love going on walks and being outdoors, weather doesn’t matter to me! I live in a nice neighborhood with a dog park walking distance away, and I have no other animals so that yours can be the center of attention!

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 20 years and absolutely love dogs! I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I have a very friendly doodle who loves having another dog around. To make sure every guest gets lots of individual attention and feels comfortable in our home, I only care for one visiting dog at a time. I also have children, so visiting dogs must be friendly and comfortable around both kids and other dogs. I welcome dogs under 50 lbs who are house-trained, non-aggressive, and not destructive or prone to chewing furniture or household items. My goal is to provide a safe, relaxed, loving home-away-from-home where your dog can feel like part of the family while you’re away. I work from home, so your pup will rarely be alone and will enjoy plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the entire day. I provide a safe, loving home with constant supervision. I work from home, take one dog at a time, and have a friendly doodle. I will try to follow your schedule as closely as possible.

About: What truly sets me apart is my flexibility and reliability. I offer same-day walks and care when available, as well as consistent long-term support for ongoing needs. I understand that schedules can change, so I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests while still providing dependable, high-quality care. Every pet receives the same level of attention, patience, and respect, no matter the length of care. Minimum 30 minute walks unless requested different. Pet care is a dedicated part of my daily and weekly schedule. As I work from home-I plan my days around pet visits and walks to ensure each pet receives timely, attentive care without feeling rushed. This allows me to stay consistent with routines, feeding times, and activity levels. Alongside walks, I provide trusted care in your home, including drop-ins and overnight stays. I follow feeding schedules, give plenty of attention, and keep pets safe and happy. I respect your home, leaving no messes behind, and can accommodate security systems, mail, and daily routines while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 12 years. I actually got my start through Rover, which led me into working at a pet resort, then into dog training, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Along the way, I earned my degree in psychology, which gave me an even deeper understanding of behavior, communication, patience, and creating trust — not just with people, but with animals too. I’m especially good at reading body language, helping anxious pets feel comfortable, and maintaining routines that keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or just wants calm companionship and cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always make sure owners feel updated and reassured with communication and photos throughout the stay. Pet care is something I genuinely love doing, and I’m excited to provide a safe, reliable, and positive experience for both you and your pets 🐾 As of right now I am unemployed and looking to make any extra money so I’m pretty open and available! Can do drop ins, walks, doggy day care at home, or house/dog sit! I’m very well versed in animal behavior and safety. So it’s easy to anticipate things I need to pay attention for according to each dog I’m with.

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. **Please do not book boarding for the weekend if your pet cannot handle being alone for 12-13 hours (in regards to going to the bathroom), as I work every weekend** I am in college and I work full time. I typically work 3-12 hour shifts a week, but my class schedule is more flexible. Please just ask if a date/time works and I will let you know! 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.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and professional pet sitter providing reliable, high-quality care for dogs, cats, and small animals. However I have been taking care of animals for decades. During my time working for a professional pet sitting company, I was honored to be recognized as “Pet Sitter of the Month” multiple times, and the company itself was voted Best of the Bay for pet sitting. These experiences reflect the level of consistency, trust, and care I bring to every pet I look after. In addition to my professional background, I have lifelong experience caring for animals, having been around and responsible for pets since I was young. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits throughout my life and am very familiar with their daily routines, personalities, and individual needs. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available most days, with preference for morning and afternoon visits. I always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide dependable, stress-free care. My experience includes feeding routines, walks, litter care, enrichment, playtime, and calm companionship tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I prioritize clear communication, punctual visits, and detailed updates with photos so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. While I do not have experience with reptiles, I am very comfortable caring for a wide range of temperaments, including shy, senior, or anxious pets who require patience and gentle handling. My goal is to provide consistent, trustworthy care and ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily life. Between caring for my own dog and my years of professional pet-sitting experience, I'm used to structuring my days around pet care, including walks, feeding routines, playtime, enrichment, and companionship. I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care and accommodate a variety of pet routines throughout the week. I care for every pet as if they were my own and treat every client's home with respect. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their family is away. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box maintenance, or medication, I focus on providing attentive, dependable care. I also take pride in leaving homes exactly as I found them and providing regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lutz

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lutz on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 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 7,104 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lutz. 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.

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 .

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 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 .

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 Lutz 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 Lutz. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
