About: I got my first cat at 10 years old and have had pets in the house ever since. I have two cats and a dog at home now. I am proficient in caring for other people's pets and routinely board and walk the dogs and cats of friends. Comfortable with all sizes of dogs for walking and playing. I can make any day work from 9am-7pm with some advanced notice. I am currently working part time and looking to add in some dog walks and check-ins. I will follow any rules or guideline you require when checking in on your pet. I am incredibly flexible when it comes to how you would like me to go about being in your home and working with your pet.
“Stephanie is the best sitter I’ve had the pleasure of hiring. She is timely and responsive and spent extra time each day with my 2 cats. I will definitely rebook and highly recommend her!”
“The best experience we have ever had with someone watching our two crazy pups! Isabell communicated through the entire process flawlessly, provided photos, a nice update about the visit and even arranged to get our house key back safely! Our dogs are XL, often hard to find someone comfortable with them and I could tell this was a perfect fit from the meet up. They can’t wait to see you again 🐶 🐶 thanks a ton!”
About: I am currently a Dog Trainer at Petco! I have a strong passion for animals and approach pet care with love. I’ve cared for dogs of almost all breeds, sizes, and temperaments throughout the course of my life. Whether it’s maintaining their routine, going on walks, providing playtime/mental stimulation, or simply offering companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Through caring for my own 14 year old girl, I know how to be attentive to special instructions like dietary needs or medications. While they're away, I make sure pet parents feel at ease by providing regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where dogs feel secure and well cared for. I work part time as a Dog Trainer for Petco Sunday, Thursday, and Saturday. Those days are blocked off, but I am completely free to help you with your doggo the rest of the week at any time! I will care for your dog the way I care for mine - with the highest sense of responsibility and accountability. I understand that these animals depend on me for sustenance, exercise, stimulation, and affection. That is why I follow instructions diligently and always work with passion.
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. 😉
“Elizabeth was so great with my cat!! She was very communicative and took wonderful care of my cat. This was my second time booking Elizabeth and I would definitely do it again”
About: For the past four years, I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fish, including pets that require medication, overnight stays, or a little extra love and attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and helping families feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they're away. As the proud pet parent of a Black Lab and a new kitten, I understand that our pets are family. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, care, and attention every step of the way. I work Monday through Friday as a teacher in Wesley Chapel, but my weekends are mostly free. I am available to drop in before and after work times typically around 7am and after 4:30pm to help with any drop in or over night needs. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes through drop-in visits and overnight stays. I believe pets are happiest in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routine. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of love and attention. I also follow any specific instructions, including administering medications if needed, so your pet receives the personalized care they're used to.
About: I grew up in a family that brought the pets to the family functions. When someone showed up without their babies, we would ask about them like they were a missing piece we needed. We always had a dog and a cat in the household. My grandmother is a dog groomer, and I helped her out from a very young age, so I have seen every temperament, personality type, shape, and size you can think of, and I love them all! As soon as I moved out on my own, I felt something was missing, so I got a cat and then eventually a dog. I have raised them both since they were very young. I am also the go-to pet sitter for all of my friends because they know I want an excuse to hang out with their pets anyway! I care for them like they are family. I am currently looking for work after completing my master's degree, so I have plenty of free time to give your loved one while you are away! I always try to keep pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine. During drop-in visits, I make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, potty breaks, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection based on their personality and comfort level. Safety is very important to me, so I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and any instructions provided by the owner. I also make sure pets are calm and settled before leaving. I know how important communication is, so I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and have owned six dogs over the years, with four currently! I have been surrounded by animals every day and it has given me hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to be available for pet care whenever needed. I can accommodate a variety of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests. When caring for pets in a client's home, I will focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while respecting both the pet's needs and the client's home. I can also provide regular updates and photos if the owner requests so!
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.
“Fantastic as usually, Holly loves my doggo like it’s her own. Super sweet and sends me lots and pics and videos to let me know how’s she’s doing, would never use anyone else!! She’s a gem!”
About: Hello! My name is Brent and I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs myself Apollo and Tommy which are my world. I genuinely am happiest spending time with and meeting new dogs. I’m working a part time job while my girlfriend stays at home with our dogs. I have flexibility and someone to always have eyes on the dog. I’m able to provide the care you would if you were the one taking care of him/her. I’m able to do anything it would be youd like me to do for your pup.
About: I understand the need for in-home care for your fur babies. It’s hard to leave them and to have to worry about them being taken care of. I love to spend time with your dog(s) so they get the love they need when you are gone. I work full time but I am flexible for afternoon (lunch break) visits and evening visits. If morning care is needed, please discuss in advance to see if it will work for both of us. Weekends are also available any time of the day unless I am out of town. My in home service goes beyond just walking and feeding your dog(s). I enjoy having the time to play and provide extra love to your dogs while you are away. Most visits are 20-30 mins on average. I will take pictures and send updates to you so you know your fur baby is happy and cared for. I myself had my Chihuahua for 16 wonderful years and although I don’t have any pets right now, I really enjoy caring for yours! I also love caring for cats too.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lutz
I had a wonderful experience! Yaritza took great care of Beto and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave me real piece of mind. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring 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.

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.
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.

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.
