“Montana is absolutely the best! I went on vacation leaving my precious car babies in her care. She took excellent care of them, reporting on each one's behavior so I would know they were okay. She took lots of pictures. She even brought my trash cans back from the curb. Whaaat!?!? She's exceptional and is my go-to from now on.”
“Danette was great! We booked her for a series of drop-in visits on short notice, and she came through for us. She is very friendly, comfortable in our home, and professional. Best of all, our pups loved her!”
“This is mine & my husband’s first time using rover & Jennifer was so great to our London. London is a sweet girl & she gets very nervous when her family leaves her but she soon warmed up to Jennifer. She was so great, she sent pictures, videos & updates on how London was doing & showed that they played together. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was wonderful. She took care of three of our dogs sent us pictures and made us feel very comfortable. Leaving our babies home. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve had pets for the last 26 years. Two cats that lived to be 18 and 20 years old. I currently have one Australian Labradoodle three years old and two cats, Olive and Luna. I work from home so my pets get to go outside and enjoy love and attention during the day. I walk them for a few minutes during the day and ensure they can go outside when they need it. I don’t have a fence yard. I like to walk my dog with a leash. I don’t like to let my dog wonder around because in Florida you don’t know what insects or other animals could hurt them. I rather stay close to my pets to supervise them and ensure they are safe.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was ten - feeding them, playing with them and loving on them. A dog is man’s best friend and becomes a cute, beautiful and cherished family member all at the same time!

“Channing is the absolute best when it comes to Knox- I wouldn’t be able to balance going to work & attending class without her. She always gives Knox extra TLC ❤️”
“Teri was so kind & dependable! What a huge sigh of relief to be able to go away & know for certain our fur babies were well taken care of! Thank you so very much Teri! You are a gem!”
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was 10 years old, I have trained my dogs before with good mannerisms. I am open to learn some new skills with high maintenance dogs or cats and even senior pets as well! I love walking with my dogs and playing with them! Still living at home, I work in the mornings and get home around 10-12 and I take care of my dogs then. I just take them outside, let them run around, bring them inside, give them some treats and let them do their own thing. They are always with me in my room since it’s just me in the house, or whenever I go out I sometimes take them with me! But typically, I just stay inside and do some cleaning, cooking and school work as well. I make sure to take them outside as soon as I get home, and let them back in after 5-10 minutes since it’s hot outside. I just spend quality time with them, play with them and take them for walks in the evening

About: Hello pet parents. We are a family of four. I have a 8 year old, almost 4 year old, and a baby. They are animal lovers just like me. I myself love animals and had my own baby for 12 years before he past with lymphoma. he was my first child lol. I grew up with cats and dogs and truly enjoyed the campion of both. I am very experienced with elderly dogs and medications as my pup had arthritis and in the end making him as comfortable as we could. I would love to take care of your babies and spoil them as you would. Hope to see you soon. I work full time in Punta Gorda but have the flexibility to care for your baby. They will be cared for day and night with tons of love. I have cared for pets for years. I have also taken vet tech courses online and worked for Suncoast Humane Society. I am a household manager by trade so I am very neat and organized and so are my kids.
About: My husband and I love animals and have both owned pets our whole lives. Currently we have a one year old cat named Jackson. I grew up on a farm in Ukraine and was around different animals like cats, dogs, cows, chickens, pigs and other animals since I was a baby. When I was in middle and elementary school I would help take care of the classroom pets we had like fish and hamsters. Throughout Highschool I volunteered at our local animal shelter and took care of the cats and dogs. My husband also grew up in a family that has always owned both cats and dogs. Currently I’m a stay at home mom to our two daughters, which allows me to provide your pet with the best and continuous care through the whole duration of their stay. My husband owns a floor installing company with his brother and because he can chose his own hours, he will also be able to help me provide care for your pet throughout their stay with us. My husband and I own our own house with a spacious backyard and screened in lanai. Our house is the only one on our street so we don’t have neighbors to worry about, expect for our backyard neighbors who are snowbirds. The backyard is not fenced in yet but we plan to have a fence installed this year. Your pets will be free to roam around our whole house as well as the garage without any limitations. We have also set aside an empty room that can be used to separate pets if needed. We will be able to provide pet day care as well as boarding. Both my husband and I own vehicles and will also be able to provide driving services like pickup and drop off as well as client in home care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murdock
I had emergency back surgery and needed someone to take care of my cats last minute. Jennifer came through and was amazing just like before. My cats seem to really love her - even my one cat who takes months to warm up to strangers! I could tell they seemed really happy with her. Thank you, Jennifer. You’re amazing.
Danette was a terrific sitter! It was our first booking; we are pleased with the great care she took of our girl. We came home to a happy and affectionate sweet little Lulu! Danette followed all of our requests, multiple visits each day; feeding; I appreciate the photos updates each day. We would book her again! Thank you Danette!
Thanks again to Renee for amazing care! She always goes above and beyond but I especially appreciated it during a recent short notice situation. Bonus note, Renee takes amazing pet pics. While doing everything else for the care, she also has grabbed some shots that are better than any I've ever gotten on my own!! I definitely recommend Renee.
Emily was absolutely amazing. My dog was sososo happy in the photos sent by Emily and I have never seen my dog happier in the photos sent from any other sitter. My dog requires a lot of love/attention and I could definitely tell that Emily gave her all of it while we were away! Emily even gave my dog a new toy that came in the mail AND cleaned up the mess. I will definitely be booking again!!
Dee made going on vacation a little easier knowing my pups were well cared for. I have a motion web cam and reviewing the feed made me laugh. Dee spent time playing with each dog after they were fed. They seemed to have a good time. Hank seemed a little disappointed she didn't come by the first day we were back. Great sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Murdock is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 November 2026, there are 1,278 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Murdock. 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 Murdock. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
