“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.”
“We got to meet Madison prior to leaving and she was really friendly! She did an amazing job with our 3 cats and I’m so glad they had her for an hour every day while we were gone. She did a great job doing all that we requested and more! I would definitely recommend Madison and be utilizing her services in the future!”
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.
“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!”
“Natalie is awesome! 10/10 would recommend! We loved all of her notes about our cats and her commitment to making sure they had the best care while we were away!”
“Sherry was incredible! My cat is very shy and tends to dislike strangers; but Mae immediately took to Sherry! Sherry was thorough and asked all the right questions at our meet and greet. She was prompt and consistent with her visits and put all my fears to rest after meeting her. She provided daily updates during the week and pictures of my cat. This was my first time using Rover so I was very skeptical and nervous with a stranger in my home but Sherry explained Rover has insurance and tracking of the messages which made me feel safe and secure. 10/10 would highly recommend Sherry!!! Thank you!”
“I can’t thank Andrea enough for helping us out last-minute today so we could take our god daughter to LEGOLAND. I reached out the morning of, she responded quickly and she showed up promptly at the scheduled time—despite me forgetting to provide my unit number and not replying quickly. She was incredibly patient and gracious, even looping back after I finally got in touch. She took our dogs out right away, and when we got home, they were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. She’s kind, reliable, and so easy to work with. We’re really grateful and will definitely be reaching out again!”
About: I have been caring for animals of my own and others for 10+ years now, I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and I am also Fear Free certified! I will treat your pets like they are my own, whether you need drop in visits for a long vacation or just a quick walk :) I work full time as a veterinary technician but am able to drop in for visits before and after work, as well as going on walks before/after work and on weekends. I will not be accommodating any pets at my own home for now due to living in an apartment setting and having a couple of fur babies of my own!
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!
“Bianca was a great sitter! Kind and communicative throughout the entire process and took good care of our fur baby :) Appreciated that she shared updates and pictures during each drop-in visit. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
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’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: I’ve had animals my entire life. I currently have 2 kittens and my family has a 13 year old yorkie! I’ve had my own dogs, big and small, cats, and a bunny, birds and guinea pigs. I volunteered at my local animal shelter in high school, and now in college I have my own pets! I believe animals deserve so much love and respect and will treat your animals like my own. I am currently a USF student with online classes only! I am able to help you and your pets at any time during the week. I have my own transportation and my own pets are very easy to take care of, so I am able to be working very flexible hours. While working in your home, you can ensure that your pets will receive my full love and attention. I have walked big dogs, and dogs that like to pull, such as labs, dobermans and german shepherds. I am used to dogs jumping and play bites. I am also used to bathing cats and dogs, when necessary, and administering medication to them as well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lutz
Sara was great with Beau! When she unfortunately couldn't make it to an appointment, she even offered a discount for the next time around. She followed instructions and fed and walked him with no issue. Sara also reached out to ask if Beau had any particular walking areas he'd like to avoid and was available last minute. We'd work with her again!
Nicole is wonderful! So sweet with our dog and our cat. She’s super thorough and everything she does and take such great care of our animals while we are at work. We have a high energy lab and she always makes her feel very happy on the days we can’t be home with her. We love 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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lutz is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $29 per visit. On Rover, 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 7,268 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
