“Yaritza is fabulous. My cat does not like and is afraid of anyone that doesn't live in our house. Yaritza has been able to get our fur baby to come out of hiding and interact with her.”
“Adrianna was amazing! She accepted my booking last minute and was great about communicating, even sent me pictures of my babies while I was on my trip so I didn’t miss them too bad. Her prices are more than reasonable and she will 100% be my go to pet sitter if she’s available next time I need it.”
“Allison continues to be WONDERFUL. She is so communicative and thoughtful. She truly feels like a partner in the process. I feel 100% comfortable with Allison checking in on our senior dog. I will use her time and time again and so should everyone else!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly enjoy spending time with them. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, playtime, walks, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I believe every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel happy and secure. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to their needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pets with the same love and respect I’d want for my own. I’m currently new to the Tampa area, looking to make extra money! My work schedule is From 9-6 occasionally work from home so we can always negotiate between those times, weekends im typically free! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I do my best to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks , playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, stress-free environment.
“Annalise was great! She took care of my cats while I was away and gave me peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates with photos after every visit. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after.”
“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: 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 reached out to Cat the night before our family’s Christmas trip, hoping and praying she could help us after our sitter canceled last minute due to illness—and she was an absolute Godsend! She responded to our inquiry promptly, and even though we didn’t have time for a meet-and-greet, I felt completely confident in trusting her with our fur babies. Cat was exceptional in every way. She communicated with us daily, providing updates and adorable photos of our cats, and followed the feeding and care instructions perfectly. She even went above and beyond by bringing in packages from our porch, which was such a thoughtful touch and not something we had expected. The best part? When we returned, our cats acted like we had never been gone! They barely cared we were home—just asking for dinner before retreating, perfectly content. This reassured me that Cat gave them all the love and attention they needed while we were away. We are so thankful to have found Cat on Rover and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”
“I’m a Rover sitter myself and I also get anxious leaving my dogs in the care of others, but even sitters need sitters. Arianne was trustworthy and did a great job communicating. There’s nothing like peace of mind while on a week long vacation. Thanks Arianne!”
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.
“Camron was an absolute lifesaver on our recent trip! She was fantastic with Raina and made sure our cats felt loved, too. She asked all the right questions about their routines, which immediately showed how much she cares. It's so reassuring to have someone you can trust completely with your pets. Thanks, Camron!”
“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 experience caring for my neighbors’ dogs, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves playtime or prefers calm companionship, I provide patient, reliable, and personalized care. I’ll treat your dog like my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide loving and attentive care for pets. I work part-time and occasionally travel, but when I’m home, I spend most of my time taking care of my home and my two cats. Since I’m often home, I’m able to provide pets with companionship, attention, playtime, and a comfortable environment. I would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by caring for their animals when they need someone they can trust. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. I will provide reliable care, regular updates, and treat every pet with the same love and patience I give my own. In my home: I have a spacious home with multiple empty rooms and a fenced yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I understand that every animal has different needs, so I can create a calm, separate space if needed. I have two cats of my own, and if they do not get along with a visiting cat, I can safely keep the guest cat comfortable on the second floor with a room, a window, and everything they need, while still providing plenty of love and attention. In your home: I will care for your pets while respecting your home and your routines. I will follow your instructions carefully and will not touch or use anything that I am not allowed to. My priority is to keep your pet comfortable, maintain their normal routine, and leave your home clean and respected.
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.

Pet 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!

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.

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.
