“My cat Jasper loved his check in visits with Adrianna! She was communicative and went the extra mile during the visits, I felt very comfortable with Jasper being in her care and can tell that he was happy and well cared for ☺️ Thank you Adrianna for all that you do! ❤️”
“Madison was amazing! We will definitely be using her again for any other trips we have. She was extremely responsive and sent updates of our cats throughout the whole week. Thank you Madison!”
“Jamie responds quickly and maintains communication. She was patient and understanding with my dog, who is very particular. During the drop-in visits, Jamie was caring and sweet. I absolutely recommend her for any pet needs!”
“Stephanie is top notch! I highly recommend her for anyone needing a very responsible and caring pet sitter. She went the extra mile in every way. I was able to relax and enjoy my getaway without any worries. Stephanie kept me up to date on each visit with lots of pictures and the Rover Card details. When I returned every thing was immaculate and my fur babies were so well taken care of! Thank you Stephanie for the extra attention and caring so much!”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on animal experience, responsibility, and genuine love for pets. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals and currently have a 4-year-old dog and two cats, including a senior cat. I’ve also rescued pets of my own, fostered cats, participated in TNR (trap, neuter, release), and volunteered with animal shelters. I also have experience with puppies, as I adopted my dog when she was just a two-month-old rescue. That experience gave me firsthand understanding of puppy care, including training, socialization, establishing routines, managing high energy, and supporting them through early developmental stages. My professional background has also given me experience in environments where safety, attentiveness, and responsibility are essential. I spent two years working at Two Shepherds Taproom, a dog park and taproom, where I was regularly around dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Before transitioning careers, I also spent over six years as an elementary school teacher for Pasco County, where I was trusted with the safety, care, and well-being of 22–28 children every day. These experiences taught me patience, attentiveness, organization, communication, and how to stay calm when unexpected situations arise. I’m also a licensed real estate professional and understand the level of trust involved when someone allows you into their home. When I’ve pet sat or completed drop-in visits in the past, I’ve always made communication with pet parents a priority. I send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel connected to them while you’re away. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important that reassurance is, especially when you’re traveling or away from a pet who truly is part of your family. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, affection, and care that I would want someone to give my own. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and needs time to warm up, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to meet them where they are and help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine! As a dog and cat owner myself, my days naturally include walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care and provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, medications, and any special care instructions, so they can feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible while their family is away. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and any other individual needs their pet may have. For drop in visits, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention in addition to their basic care. Depending on their needs, that might include a walk, backyard playtime, enrichment, cuddles, refreshing food and water, cleaning litter boxes, or simply spending time with them so they have companionship during the day. For house sitting, I treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I’m happy to maintain established routines, provide regular updates and photos, and pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or anything else that may seem unusual. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and I’m super comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats. I’ve watched playful puppies, easygoing adults, and sweet senior pets who just need a little extra care. I can stick to feeding routines, give potty breaks as often as needed, go on walks, play, and of course give them plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own while you’re away! ❤️ I have open availability, so I’m able to make caring for pets a priority throughout my day. I enjoy structuring my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well‑cared for every single day. I like to care for pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine; with a lot of love, patience, and attention. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your routine as closely as possible, like feeding times, walks, and any little habits your pet is used to. I keep their space clean, give them plenty of playtime and cuddles, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“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: I have hands-on experience caring for my two cats, Paedyn and Ella, who have taught me that every pet has their own unique personality and needs! Paedyn is my energetic, talkative 2-year-old, while Ella is my 1-year-old calico and a total cuddle bug. I make sure my cats are fed morning and night, have fresh water, receive their daily vitamins, and get plenty of playtime, attention, and love. I also grew up around dogs, including a Shih Tzu and a Yorkiepoo, and my dad currently has a Pit Bull who is the sweetest girl. I also had a roommate who had a Shiba Inu that I would help care for from time to time, who was such an energetic love bug. Growing up with dogs and now caring for my own cats has given me experience with different personalities, sizes, and care needs. I understand how important routines, safety, patience, and lots of love are when caring for someone’s pet! 🐾💕 I have a flexible schedule with my work at OneBlood, which allows me to fit pet visits and dog walks into my day. I’m happy to work around my schedule to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and exercise they need. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can commit to the visits I book. I’m very attentive to my pets and make sure they have everything they need to stay happy and healthy. I give my cats their daily vitamins, including respiratory vitamins for my older cat, Paedyn. I make sure they’re fed every morning and night, always have fresh water in their fountain, and are kept safely indoors rather than free-roaming outside. I would care for a client’s pets and home with the same level of attention and responsibility. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to follow their feeding schedule, medications or vitamins, playtime, and any other instructions. I’ll also treat each client’s home with respect and make sure everything is left clean, safe, and secure.
“Annaliese was wonderful. Very responsive and great with communication. She made notes of Lola’s issues/care. She provided detailed updates. She put forth her best effort with Lola. Will definitely use again.”
About: Hi - I'm Sveta! I am a senior at NYU and I’ve been caring for pets my whole life! I had two dogs growing up - a Yorkie and a German Shepherd - and I also currently have a Tabby cat. My experiences have taught me how to care for pets of very different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I truly love all pets and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away 🐶💛 I’m currently a student at NYU, so while I do have classes throughout the week, they’re spread out in short portions of the day. I am home majority of the day so your pets are never left alone for long periods, and I’m able to give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day 😇! I live in a very safe, quiet high-rise apartment that’s wider than most NYC apartments, giving pets plenty of space to relax, play, and nap throughout the day! 🎾 The building is fully secure and pet-friendly, with a completely enclosed, fenced grassy area on the 30th floor where dogs can safely run around, get fresh air, and unwind. I’m also located near Bryant Park and the West Side Highway piers, which are perfect for walks and runs in beautiful, open spaces 🌞 The building is home to many other pet families, creating a friendly and welcoming environment where pets can socialize safely. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities!
“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!”
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 been boarding dogs with rover for 3 years now and have had experience with all kinds of dogs. I have had dogs my entire life as big as a St Bernard and as small as a pomeranian so I am familiar with many breeds and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs. I recently lost my dog to cancer so no dogs currently live here. I work from home as a photographer so I am home most of the day to give attention to your dog. I would never leave the dog alone for more than a few hours. I typically have a few dogs at a time most of whom are regulars at my house that keep to pretty regular routine. I have a fenced in yard and an older dog that will keep your dog company throughout their stay. Your dog would have access to most of the house throughout the day. Can keep up with any training you are working on including crate training if you want but I do not require a crate in my house. Parks and walking paths are nearby for exercise. I will send updates throughout their stay so you know they are being cared for properly. I prefer doing a meet and greet if possible so we can make sure it's a good fit and you feel comfortable leaving your family members with me.

Yaritza has taken care of my dog several times, and she has always done an excellent job. I have nothing but positive things to say about her. By now, I would definitely consider her a regular, and I always feel comfortable knowing my dog is in great hands with her.
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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 Lutz. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
