This was the second time Haley has cat-sit for me and I couldn’t be happier! She is so thorough with her visits and my cats adore her now. I can’t recommend Haley more highly!

Isabel was extremely caring and put in the extra effort with my two cats. She stayed extra just to make sure my one cat who hides was okay. Responsible and responsive on text. I recommend her to care for your fur babies!

Abby was so great! She was very attentive, asked questions to get to know my dog before heading out of town. She took such good care of her & updated me each drop in. Highly Recommend Abby & will be hiring her in the future!

Jonathan was willing to help me out super last minute to give my Gargy a good long walk when I got called into work. He let me know when he was on the way, walking him, and heading out and left a few pictures as well! I will definitely be keeping him in mind in the future :)

About: I have great experience with all dog sizes, but medium to small is the best for me. I have taken care of elderly dogs before, and I have a small elderly pomeranian at home, so i realize they require gentle care and attention. I have a dog park outside of my apartment that is mostly unused. It is perfect for giving your dog a potty/play break. The street i live on is slow with light traffic. I am able to care for pets 24/7. I am a part time student, mostly on line, so I am at home most of the day. I work in my bedroom or living room, and I have no trouble doing work on my computer with your pet. My apartment is not on a street, just a parking lot. There is a large yard and doggy play pen outside my home. I live with a Vet student, and I am better able to care for animals with her help. I have one roommate, and my apartment is very quiet and large. I am home all day, and i enjoy quiet studying while siting next to your pet. I get bored easily so I go for walks 4-5x a day, which I would love to do together with your pet! I have a lot of patience for animals since I grew up with them, but i prefer low-energy and calm animals because I get overwhelmed easily.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 16 years. I am most comfortable with cats and small or senior dogs, but have experience with all breeds and sizes. I have past experience volunteering with a vet clinic and working with community cats. I am comfortable and experienced caring for cats and dogs with injuries, illnesses, and age related health issues. I am able to administer medication orally. I feel very strongly about providing a clean and safe environment for your pet. I’ll always be sure to clean up any happy little accidents that may happen. Being away from our beloved animals is hard, but you can trust they are in good hands with me. Providing regular picture and video updates is my pleasure. Please never hesitate to tell me what I can do to help give you peace of mind and assure you that your pet is receiving the best care possible. I greatly look forward to meeting and working with you and your furry friends! I am currently self-employed so I have plenty of time to drop in for visits or do overnight stays. I’m available weekdays and weekends. M-F my day time availability does vary due to appointments, but my mornings from 7am-9am are always open and I have open availability from 5pm onwards. During a drop in visit I will provide your cat or dog with food, water, and any medications. If the visit does not require that, I check all food and water sources to make sure they clean and full. The litter boxes will be checked and cleaned. If there are any accidents or messes, I will clean them up. I provide affection and enrichment for your animals. I will play with them, groom them, and provide things like catnip and treats (with your approval, of course). If you’re worried about your pet getting bored or lonely between visits, I can turn on some Pet TV! During visits I like take pictures and videos and provide you with those, as well as text updates. I’m happy to base my communication off of your preferences. If you’d like a bit more privacy and quiet, we can discuss when it would be most appropriate to contact you. If you want daily updates that’s no problem at all! I provide all these services during overnight stays as well. If you have specific requests regarding care for your pet, I’m happy to adhere to them. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.

About: If you're looking for a truly reliable, adaptable and hard working petsitter - that's me! I'm an honest and simple person - I love spending time with dogs and cats so I'd never cut my services short. I feel very drawn to animals and feel passionate about caring for them so their well-being is my duty and I will care for them like my own. I have worked for a petsitting company for over three years here in Gainesville and 2 years back in Finland before I moved here - working with lots of different kinds of dogs (big, small, energetic, traumatized ones etc) and cats (some very spicy ones). I provide anything your pet needs - energetic walks, cuddles, playtime , feeding, medications etc! I'm not afraid of challenges and will happily figure out what service works best for you and your fur baby <3 I'm a stay-at-home-mom transitioning back to work life this summer. Me and my husband take care of our 7 month old baby boy together as he works mostly from home and has a very flexible schedule. Integrating parenting and work is my number 1 priority so I'm happy work around my clients schedules. I have a big fenced yard, 3 acres of woods and access to lots of trails and a dog park close to our home by the prairie. I'm an outdoorsy person so I love long walks if that's what your pup needs. As a mom of two cats I'm very familiar with cat care - be it fierce playtime, cuddles or respectful distance. With all pets I give them time to feel safe with me and I'm always read their body language to ensure they feel comfortable.

About: Im been working as both an veterinary assistant and technician for about 7 years. With some occasional dog walking and sitting throughout that. I’m currently going to veterinary school as well Im currently in vet school, so my hours are a little sporadic I’m mainly available after hours and during the weekends. But of course I can always find ways to work around your schedule. Im fear free certified, meaning I’m a big advocate for keeping pets stress/anxiety free. We can communicate on your pets special needs or make sure they feel comfortable.

About: I’ve work with dogs and other animals for the last 8 years. From puppies to seniors and everything in between. I’ve also helped train a few service dogs and actively show and compete in sports with my own dog. My life is centered around my dog and I work from home. I can be extremely flexible to fit almost any need or rigorous schedule. I have an apartment by myself, with my 1 dog, with nice trails and fenced in areas to let pets play off leash. I also have different enrichment toys and other exercises for physical and mental stimulation.

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 had dogs and cats of all different shapes and sizes and nothing brings me more joy than hanging out with pets! I am okay with any age or species of animals, and am more than happy to care for any exotic pets as well! I don’t have any professional grooming experience but I am great at giving baths to pets of any size and have even dealt with bathing my crazy cats. If you’re interested or have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me! I am only taking two classes this summer so I have more than enough time to provide your pets with love and care. I spend a lot of time outside so they will never get bored. I live alone in an apartment but I am a very outdoorsy person who will make sure your pet has a fun adventure while away from you!

About: I grew up surrounded by my pets, and when I came to the US for grad school I was at least relieved to know that they are with my family, in safe hands. They are 4 crazy dogs, ranging from seniors to young adults now. I miss them so much and will love spending time with your pets here, while also making some extra cash to send goodies to mine and my family. I will follow all your instructions and I'll love every second I get o spend with them. I cannot take them to my apartment at the moment, because my landlord doesn't allow pets, but I can go to your houses to take proper care of them as needed. Looking forward to hear from you and your amazing pets! I'm a PhD Student, working only on my research. My schedule is very flexible, and most of the times, I only need my computer to be able to work, which will allow me to work around your pets schedule. Unfortunately, the apartment where I live here doesn't allow pets, but I'm willing to go to their homes to feed them, play with them, take them out for walks, or anything as instructed by their owners.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Micanopy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,022 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Micanopy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Micanopy 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 Micanopy. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
