“Kee was super awesome and attentive when caring for my furbabies :) I 1000% recommend them to everyone! They will send lots of pictures and videos as well :) Even on short notice they were able to take care of my two kitties!!!”

“Haley was extremely helpful for me while I was gone for a few days. She did a great job with my dog, Zoe. Even though Zoe can be a bit reactive and high energy, Haley handled her perfectly!”

“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!”


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 been a dog owner for the majority of my life and have provided reliable care to my friends’ pets for about 5 years. I have experience caring for puppies as well as multiple animals at once. I am a student at the University of Florida, but I have a mostly open schedule. I’m available all day on weekends, every weekday morning before 10 AM, after 11:30 AM every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and after 5 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I plan to maintain a safe environment for any animal, and I will cater the experience to each pet and their individual needs. It is important to me that your pet feels as comfortable as possible, whether that be in your home or mine. I will care for your pet according to your desired schedule to ensure they experience care and consistency even when away from their loving owner.

About: I currently have a lab puppy named Jerry (he is in my profile picture) who is very high energy and a cuddly cat named Piper🐾 Throughout my life I have owned and cared for eight dogs of varying sizes, two cats, and a bunch of chickens and goats. So I love animals to say the least!💗 I started pet sitting for family and friends all throughout college and am excited to meet new clients! I have a flexible schedule and am able to fit pet care into times I am not working or doing school work! I am often able to care for pets during the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I am able to provide care for client’s pets in their home and can also be trusted to take dogs on long walks outside of the home!
“I wish I could give Jonathan 10 stars instead of 5. As a professional dog trainer and boarding business owner, I’m extremely particular about who I trust with my own animals. My dogs are elderly and have specific needs, so finding someone dependable is incredibly important. Jonathan exceeded every expectation. Not only did he take excellent care of my dogs, but his communication was outstanding. He responded to messages quickly, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He followed instructions perfectly, was reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cared about my pets’ well-being. What impressed me most is that Jonathan truly loves animals. It’s obvious in the way he interacts with them and the level of care he provides. Honestly, he’s so good at what he does that I find myself wishing I could hire him as part of my own team. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, trustworthy, and exceptional with animals, I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough. He is absolutely fantastic.”

About: Throughout the past few years, I've sat for several of my neighbors and friend’s dogs, from yorkies to pit bulls. This includes both walks and visits to provide food, water, and fun. Caring for my own dog, Charlotte, in recent years has given me experience in caring for senior dogs. This includes accommodating for hearing loss, blindness, low energy, and stomach problems. I am a student at UF looking for a fun way to spend my free time. My current schedule somewhat flexible other than my classes. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I am free early mornings until 8:00 AM, around noon, and in the evenings. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available all morning until 11:30 and in the evenings after 5:00 PM. Weekends that are marked as available are flexible. This works around my classes schedule, volunteering, and other obligations. Safety is my number one priority when caring for your best friend(s). When walking dogs in Florida, I have found it extremely important to monitor the weather and your pets breathing. I will always ensure they have access to enough water and food at meal time. And if they’re allowed, I love giving them the occasional treat.
“When my dogs don’t know someone, they bark non-stop. However, Noah was very patient with Harry and Dobby and stayed in touch with me the whole time to keep me updated on them. Thank you so much!”


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 always loved being around animals and have plenty of hands-on experience from caring for my own dog, who is about 100 pounds! Having a large dog has made me very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also trained her myself, so I have experience with basic commands, routines, leash walking, and being patient and consistent. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I’ll treat every pet I care for like they’re my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine, and I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m used to planning my day around my own dog’s needs, so caring for pets is already a normal part of my everyday life. I’m also flexible throughout the week and can work with different schedules depending on what you and your pet need! I always make safety and comfort my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll follow any instructions and routines the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific rules they have for their pet. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and are never put in an unsafe situation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll also be respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll always care for them like I would my own!
About: Hi! I’m a pre-veterinary student with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve cared for family pets for over four years and have volunteered with animal shelters, where I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, so I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or just lots of attention, I’m happy to help. I’m reliable, patient, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My schedule varies with classes, work, and volunteering, but I keep my availability updated and communicate clearly. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully. I’ll treat your home with respect, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. I’ve raised my own chocolate lab the past 9 years as well as having dogs my whole life back home. I am a graduate student at UF so I do have a busy class schedule but have weekends free! I’m home a lot outside of class time. I live in a town home with 3 amazing roommates and with the company of my chocolate lab to keep your pup entertained! We go on many walks and to the dog park to get all the energy out.

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
“Evelynn was very kind when I met her during our meet and greet, and she did a wonderful job with my dog Zoe who can be quite reactive and a bit nervous at times. She was very communicative with me and followed all of my directions perfectly! Overall, she did an amazing job with both my animals!”

“Peyton is wonderful! You can tell she loves dogs and Finn adored her from the start. She is very responsive, and she was diligent with her questions in order to be best prepared. Highly recommend.”

About: Having owned a barn I have experience with all types of pets. I have experience with difficult pet kids. Trained in administering oral, IV & IM meds. My schedule allows me to be available anytime at your place or mine. Boarding, daily walks, just some together time or vet apts. Your companions care is my priority. Your fur babies are treated to long walks and massages. They will be the only pet(s) staying at my place. I care for them as my own.
About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs, and my love for animals has always been one of the few things I’ve been completely certain about. That passion led me into the veterinary field, where I’ve now worked for the past 3 years caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Through my experience in veterinary medicine and boarding facilities, I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once while still making sure each animal receives individual attention, patience, and compassion. I’m also trained in administering oral medications, injections, and other basic medical care when needed. Working closely with animals every day has taught me how important trust, routine, and gentle handling are for pets while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra attention, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I work weekdays 9am–5pm, but I prioritize pet care before and after work, ensuring pets receive attention, playtime, feeding, medications, and loving care. I’m also available on weekends. In my client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks or playtime, and administering any medications as instructed. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, affection, and calm companionship so pets feel safe while their owners are away. I keep the home clean, respect all instructions, and provide updates so owners have peace of mind.
About: Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :) I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks, play and sun bathing. I also have a spare bedroom in which I have a medium size cage, and other pet materials. You are more than welcome to bring your own cage and or any items that your pet would love to have in your absence.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 3 years old, and caring for them has always been my passion! I currently have one dog, Mavis, and three cats. Mavis is 1 year old, very sweet, and loves other dogs. We go to the dog park every day, so I’d be happy to include your pup if they enjoy it too! I recently lost my 11-year-old dog to cancer, so I have personal experience caring for a senior pet and administering medications. I’m comfortable giving medications as needed and providing extra patience and care to senior or special-needs pets. Whether your pet is staying in my home, I’m caring for them in your home, or we’re going for a walk, my goal is to keep them happy, safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. My three cats are very relaxed and can be separated if needed. They love meeting new animals, especially kittens. I’m also happy to accommodate pets who prefer their own space or need to be kept separate from other animals. Animals are truly my passion, and I want every pet I care for to feel loved and like family. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I currently have three cats and my dog, so I’m used to having a consistent routine with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention. I don’t currently work outside the home, so I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day and accommodate different feeding, walking, medication, and care routines. Mavis and I also go to the dog park every day. Because I’m home so often, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to be there for pets who need extra company, frequent potty breaks, or additional care. 🐾 I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection. I can also keep visiting pets separated from my cats or dog if they aren’t comfortable around other animals. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, potty, and bedtime routines. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I treat every pet like family. 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,079 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.

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.
