“Colleen was an absolute pleasure! She was flexible with my scheduling and treated our dog like family! She understood his special needs and went above and beyond in making sure he was well cared for! Will most definitely rely on Colleen again when we are traveling.”
“Hailey was simply amazing! She was a perfect fit for our cats, they seemed more comfortable and relaxed with her as a sitter than we've seen before. She sent us pictures every day so we got to see the cats in their favorite places, and watch them warm up to her. The house is exactly like we left it too, such a relaxing end to a trip.”
“Ruby is awesome! Our babies really enjoyed her company and warmed up to her really quick! Will definitely keep her in mind for our future needs! Book with Ruby for any of your needs! 🐾”
“Denise was extremely caring and gave our pups ALL the love and cuddles our babies needed while we were away! Thank you for being so good to them and to us! Teresa and Charley❤️”

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with high energy dogs that need long walks and playtime, as well as more relaxed pets that just want companionship and attention. My experience includes feeding routines, administering basic care, walking dogs on leash, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. I always pay attention to each pet’s personality and adjust my care to match their needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own keeping them on their routine as much as possible and making sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are in responsible, caring hands. I’m currently working full time but i’m available all day on my days off which are Wednesday & Thursdays. Im available after 6 on weekends When caring for your pet in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any specific care guidelines for the pet. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well supervised at all times. For dogs, I provide structured walks, potty breaks, and playtime based on their energy level and needs. For cats or other pets, I ensure they are fed on time, have clean water, a clean environment, and receive attention and interaction based on their personality. I also respect the client’s home by keeping everything clean and organized, cleaning up after pets, and making sure doors and entry points are secure when I arrive and leave. I pay attention to any changes in behavior or health and communicate immediately with the owner if anything seems off. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and cared for while they’re away.
About: I’ve had a variety of animals my entire life. This includes dogs, cats, reptiles, saltwater fish, and birds. I am skilled in training and working with animals of all ages. I am also able to administer medication if needed. I currently am a college student and I have a part-time job at a saltwater aquarium store. Thursdays is normally my only available day to pet work, but that can change. I am able to make several visits a day and I will provide a safe and clean environment for the animals. If there is a schedule I will make sure to stick to that so that their routine is consistent.
“Xanthe was the absolute sweetest and best to our pup scout! Even with last minute scheduling changes on our part she came over and comforted our pup during the holiday fireworks! Our family and her new friend scout recommends her for your own pup! <3”
“Neo LOVES Ashland, just mention her name and he starts looking around..ears are perked up. He definitely glad when she comes over. Neo has never been away from us , so we were not sure how it would be. Trust me once Ashland is here he doesnt care if we leave. He has even done an overnight with no issue. Numerous booking so far, and definitely lots more in the future.”
“I have such peace of mind when our pups are in Maria's care! They are excited to see her when she comes so I don't have the guilt of leaving them (as much). She walked our energetic boy twice a day, for much longer than we walk him--I'm sure he was in heaven. She played toys with our other dog as much as he wanted. She often even brings them something special, which is so nice for the boys! (But definitely not needed or expected) Maria shares lots of updates and I can tell the dogs are having a great time being spoiled by Maria. She's very aware of their behaviors and needs and meets them in every way possible. I feel like she loves our dogs as if their own when she’s with them!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful. We went away for the weekend and she took great care of our three dogs. She gave them all their meds and texted/called us when our pick eater refused breakfast. She’s watching our babies next month.”
About: I have had animals my whole life so I am pretty comfortable with them. I love making connections to new animals and i’m excited to make more!! I currently have 2 dogs! I routinely care for them with food, potty breaks and nice walks. We love to see new doggos on the street! For any service I will care for the pets as if they are my own, I have a little training experience and know how to handle myself around hyperactive dogs.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own pets and helping family members with theirs. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and following daily routines. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every pet with the same care and responsibility I give my own. I currently have a very flexible and open schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets.

I take pet safety and trust very seriously when caring for animals in a client’s home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mims
This was our first time boarding our three dogs and we were so grateful for Aaron and his families care during their stay. We got photo video updates throughout the weekend and never had to wonder about how they were doing. We would definitely recommend their care!
Kasper was great with Molly. She sent photos every day and even found soothing music along with aquarium video to relax Molly when she was away. Our return flight was delayed twice and she stayed later than originally planned. Kasper even sent us a text to make sure we made it home. She went above and beyond. Thank you Kasper. We will definitely be using her again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mims walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mims maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mims choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
