About: I have had my own dogs and cats my whole life and currently have one dog and one cat. I worked at an animal shelter through high school with all kinds of dogs and cats and am comfortable with pretty much anything they can throw at me. Sometimes accidents happen and it’s ok and sometimes they get scared when new people are around which is totally understandable. I’m very comfortable being patient with any animal who needs a little extra love and understanding. I am currently a full time student and usually my day is pretty open on any day I don’t have class and in between my classes. I have two pets of my own who I get up early to take care of before class and always make sure I’m home to take care of after class. Weekends that I’m not visiting family are usually completely free as well. In a client’s home, the most important thing for any nervous pet will be respecting boundaries. I have a nervous girl dog and girl cat so I totally understand when they are a little hesitant to new people. But if they are sociable and want plenty of love I can absolutely give that too. I am very good at reading their body language and actions to determine what they want or need in the moment and will absolutely respect that their space if they want that.

About: I have a 1 year old golden doodle and her name is Hatti. Dogs and cats always love my energy around them because they can sense it. Different dogs/cats have different levels of need for food/attention/affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and mental status and make sure they are well taken care of. I’m a master’s student. My classes are mostly on Wednesdays this semester. I have plenty of time to take care of the cute little angles. My dog is a well-trained spoiled high-maintenance girl. She has to have me be there when I feed her and she makes sure I have the leash in my hand when we walk. I love that she likes my attention and affection so much.

About: Throughout the course of my life I have been responsible for feeding, bathing, and walking dogs ranging from cocker spaniel to Maltese to my current dachshund mix Lunes. Whether it be a leisurely stroll to sniff some bushes or a quick jog to get the zoomies out, I take note of the importance of getting our babies outside. I currently focus on basic puppy commands like “sit” and “paw” as well as teaching how to love bath time. I am currently a PhD student at UF and am free to focus on the highest quality pet care when I am not in class. I am available for boarding if your pet is friendly with other dogs! During boarding I can easily crate up to a medium sized dog if need be. I take my own dog on walks in the morning, evening, and night, but can be flexible with yours during boarding and house sitting. If you have a larger dog in need of crating, just provide one and that works too! If not, they are free to roam around my apartment and play. My little guy is my pride and joy, so I treat him just as I would any other member of my family and I’ll do the same for yours.

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets. I’ve fostered animals through the Humane Society, administered basic medications, followed feeding routines closely, and prioritize patience, safety, and affection. I’m attentive, responsible, and truly treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m flexible on weekends, plan my schedule around pet needs, and make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are never rushed. I prioritize a calm, clean, and safe environment at all times. In a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully, keep doors secured, and respect the pet’s routine. I always monitor pets closely, avoid unsafe situations, and communicate updates so owners feel confident and at ease.

“I had to go out of town while one of my fur babies was sick, and leaving him was worrisome. Thankfully, Crystal took great care of him! I got regular updates, photos, and reassurance while I was away. She even kept me updated on how much he was eating and that he took his antibiotic. Would absolutely book again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over eight years and have raised two of my own from puppies, training them myself and building a strong bond. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes—small, medium, and large—and can handle walks, baths, feeding schedules, and medication reliably. I love spending time playing, training, and cuddling with dogs, and I treat every pup as if they were my own, giving them love, attention, and care while their owners are away. Pets are an important part of my daily and weekly routine. On weekdays, I’m at school from 8 AM to 1-5 PM, depending on the day but outside of those hours I spend my time walking, feeding, playing with, and cuddling pets. On weekends, I’m fully available to give pets the attention, care, and love they need. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for no matter the day, and I enjoy incorporating them into my regular schedule so they always have consistent companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner, including feeding, medication, and exercise schedules. I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and pet-friendly, and I closely supervise pets to prevent accidents or stress. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and trustworthy presence so that both pets and owners feel confident and at ease while I’m caring for them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes, from puppies until they cross the rainbow bridge. I love enriching my dogs’ lives and would do the same for yours :) I’m currently a student at UF studying Behavioral Psychology and would love to apply my knowledge in the field to assist with any behavioral needs! I’m currently working part-time and will be available many times a week, almost all afternoons/evenings and a few mornings. The longest I would be away is 8 hours. In my home, I currently care for two cats. I have harness trained one and we go for frequent walks, while my other kitty stays home with enriching activities like lick mats, puzzles, and more. My older cat has a few chronic health issues which I administer medication orally and optically for. To care for pets in your home, I would love to set up enrichment games, plan walks out, and offer amateur training experience! Every pet has different needs of course, so my care is specialized to your special one’s needs.

About: I’ve been taking care of Dogs since I was 8 different types of dogs. This allowed me to understand different types of dog behavior. It's been a true passion of mine to take care of dogs.

About: I am from Orlando and a current student at UF. I have the 2 cutest dogs; A Pitbull named Fuzzy and a American Bulldog named Pickles! We had to train Pickles for a while since he wasn’t the friendliest with other dogs, but now he has no problems! When I am back home with them I love taking them to the beach, going on trail walks with them, getting starbucks with them and teaching them new tricks! Being aware from my dogs definitely is hard and I miss them all the time which Is why I started dog walking and sitting! I love getting to meet new animals and how each animal has a different personality! I currently work a part time job so I have plenty of hours to spend with you pet and providing them with the care, love, and attention they need. I am home every night for boarding and am home for majority of my day. I live in an apartment with lots of yard and walking space. I can also bring them in my car to go on fun trail walks. I have room for a crate if the owner wants to provide one. Animals are also allowed on the bed and couch and free to roam wherever in my apartment. My apartment also hosts events on some weekends for animals as well and is very pet friendly

I also have different enrichment toys and other exercises for physical and mental stimulation.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve sat for my friends and family’s pets for 2 years consistently. I have experience with reactive dogs and disabled dogs as well. I’m unemployed at the moment so I have a lot of flexibility to keep my clients happy. I am the only person with a car in my family but that won’t be an issue I’m committed to following the normal routine that your pet is accustomed to. I like taking walks and I’ll make sure your pet gets in some exercise while they are in my care

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and even an axolotl. I had a senior dog up until last year, so I am very familiar with caring for older dogs. I am also the designated cat sitter for my friend’s cat who is leash trained and loves going on walks! I am home for winter break until mid-January with absolutely no plans, so I am available most days and nights for dog walking, house sitting, etc.! I am highly communicative and trustworthy with numerous references. I care for your pets as if they are my own, and prioritize their safety and well-being.

About: My entire life I’ve lived and cared for dogs in all shapes in sizes. From stubby Corgis to big, fluffy Bernese mountain dogs, or my wonderful pack of Australian cattle dogs back home. I was the one largely responsible for the care of my family’s elderly Berner, Diogi (pronounced D-O-G) in his final years of life. I’ve fostered and raised several new born puppies of varying temperament and seen them off to loving families, but I’m most proud of the unbreakable bond I’ve formed with who I would call my “soul-dog”, Winnie, my red Australian cattle dog whom I love more dearly than anything. Unfortunately she had to stay behind when I moved to Gainesville for college, but I get to see her often enough. I work on the side in retail as well as attend school full time. Despite this, my schedule is flexible and I have days throughout the week I am 100% free for anything. My regular school days see me out before 1PM. When I do work, I typically go in early afternoon (~2PM) and leave around 8-10PM. I live in an apartment complex which has several grassy areas to use the bathroom and get some sniffs in.. Nearby there are several nature trails as well as quite a few dog parks within walking distance. I do own a car which I am willing to use to drive to other locations for longer walks/new environments.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Micanopy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,065 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Micanopy. 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 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 Micanopy. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 Meet & Greet.

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.
