About: Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover with hands on experience working in a doggy daycare and providing in-home boarding and daycare. I’m Pet CPR and First Aid certified, currently studying canine behavior, and working toward my dog training certification. I offer a clean, comfortable, kennel free home environment with indoor play space, a covered porch, and a large fenced backyard. Depending on each dog’s needs and compatibility, stays can include walks, supervised play, enrichment, relaxation, and plenty of individual attention. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always a priority. I take safety seriously, pay close attention to body language and interactions, and prioritize careful introductions to help ensure every dog is comfortable and safe I understand every dog has their own personality and comfort level. I prioritize safe introductions and positive interactions, and I love keeping pet parents updated with photos. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’ve always had animals, so caring for them has always been a part of my everyday life. Pet care is my main focus, and since I work from home, I’m able to plan my schedule around the dogs in my care. Between my own pets and my boarding and daycare guests, I’m already used to the daily routines and responsibilities that come with caring for animals. I spend much of my day at home with the dogs and prioritize making sure their needs are met throughout their stay. I intentionally keep my boarding small, accepting a maximum of 4 dogs at a time. By limiting the number of guest dogs, I can maintain a calmer, more manageable environment and give each dog more individual attention. I also consider each dog’s personality and compatibility when determining whether a booking is a good fit. I choose to prioritize the experience I provide rather than accommodate as many dogs as possible. Keeping my availability limited means fewer boarding spots, but it allows me to dedicate more time, attention, and supervision to the dogs in my care. My rates reflect the personalized, small scale experience I strive to offer. Your dog will stay in my home, where I prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and a welcoming environment. My goal is to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while their family is away. I’m home with the dogs for majority the day, which allows me to spend time with them, monitor how they’re doing, and provide attention throughout their stay. I want your dog to feel included, cared for, and comfortable rather than simply having a place to stay. Every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routine. I take the time to learn about your dog’s needs, habits, and comfort level so I can make their stay as positive as possible. I also welcome information about feeding schedules, sleeping arrangements, favorite activities, and anything else that helps me care for your dog. I’m Pet CPR and first aid certified, and I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. Before a stay, I encourage owners to share any important information about their dog’s health, behavior, routines, and needs. Meet and greets are a great opportunity for us to get acquainted and discuss whether my home is a suitable fit for your dog. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can take some getting used to. I want owners to feel comfortable knowing how their pets are doing, and I aim to keep communication clear throughout the stay, including updates and photos. My own dog, Stormy, and my cat, Kirby, are also part of our household. I consider the comfort and compatibility of every animal in the home when accepting bookings, with the goal of maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. If you’re looking for a sitter who intentionally keeps boarding small and prioritizes personalized attention, comfort, and thoughtful care, I’d love to meet you and your pup! Please note that I could have other dogs during your dogs stay, so if your pup is dog or gender selective or has any behavioral concerns or needs please keep that in mind.

“We contacted Amanda for a last minute overnight and we are so happy we found her. Our dogs are sometimes a little shy with strangers but as soon as they met Amanda they were all over her. She gets down on the floor with them which they love. Our French bulldog is especially shy with strangers but fell in love with Amanda. We have the pictures to prove it.?❤️ We wholeheartedly recommend Amanda.”

About: As a recently retired Pinellas County teacher, I now have the flexibility to give your pets the time, attention and dependable care they deserve. I have owned dogs throughout my life and currently share my home with my two cats, Max and Mya. I especially enjoy helping pets stay happy and comfortable in their own familiar surroundings. As a teacher, I built my career on being dependable, patient, organized, and trustworthy. Those same qualities make me a caring and attentive pet sitter. I understand that every pet has its own routine, and I will follow your instructions carefully to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages at every visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. I know how much our pets mean to us because mine are family too. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a recently retired teacher, I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy keeping pets on their regular routines whenever possible and will work with you to provide dependable care that fits your schedule. Advance notice is always appreciated, but I will do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay on their normal routine. When caring for your pet, I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines. I will treat your home with respect and your pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. Safety is my top priority. I’ll always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and will provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: While I’m just starting professionally, I’ve always loved dogs and have one of my own who means the world to me. Caring for my own pup has taught me patience, responsibility, and how much love and attention dogs truly need. I may not have formal experience yet, but I bring genuine care, energy, and a deep love for all dogs to every walk and playtime. I’ll treat your pup like family because that’s what they are. I’m excited to get into pet care not just as a job, but because it’s something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about. I’m a full-time college student and also work full time, but my schedule is very flexible. I’m usually available after noon most days, and sometimes before 3 PM, depending on whether I have an opening or closing shift at work. I’m committed to working diligently to fit in any and all pups that need me, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your dog’s needs with care and consistency. At home, my dog and I enjoy daily walks, usually twice a day, and we always make time for play before and after work. He’s truly part of the family and gets all the love and attention he deserves, and I believe every pup should have that same level of care. I’ll make sure they always feel safe and loved, I always prioritize each dog’s comfort, routine, and happiness as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, and I’m an animal lover who genuinely believes pets are family. 🐾❤️ I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry babies with someone else, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible for both you and your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet wants lots of cuddles and attention or prefers a little space, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and love getting to know each one’s unique personality — including the shy, sassy, and slightly spoiled ones! 🐈‍⬛💕 I’m also very responsible when it comes to feeding schedules, medications or special instructions, litter box care, playtime, and keeping you updated while you’re away. Your home and your pet will always be treated with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets and help give them a happy, comfortable experience while you’re away! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to build visits and pet care into my daily schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m very comfortable following established routines, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, playtime, and other special instructions. I also understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I make it a priority to be dependable and keep their routine as close to normal as possible while their owners are away. 🐾💕 I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, medications, and any special treatments they may need. 🐾 I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them with the same care I would want someone to show my own home. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away, while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and being well cared for. 💕

About: I love animals and have been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. Not only do I care for my two dogs (Gilbert and Bella!) but I have a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs and cats for my friends and family. I specialize in walking dogs and have experience walking in heavily populated areas, although I prefer to take dogs to parks and surround them by nature when I can. I am perfectly comfortable working with multiple dogs, but I am equally comfortable working with a single dog and keeping others from approaching if that is what the dog needs. Walking a dog is about what the dog needs, not what the people or surrounding dogs want. Sometimes that is a busy walk or trip to the dog park for socialization, and sometimes that is a quiet solo walk. Additionally, I am always prepared with snacks, water, and poop bags on my walks. I am also comfortable doing drop-in visits for some playtime, feeding, and/or a bathroom break. I am happy to provide the care that your pet needs! I work from home, part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule! I am happy to work with your pet in the early mornings, middle of day, or in the afternoon. I am available some evenings, but this fluctuates and might change day-to-day. I will always bring water, snacks, poop bags, and extra leashes & collars with me. I am happy to walk your dog by themselves or with other dogs. Similarly, I am happy to take your dog to a dog park for some off-leash exercise and socialization, but it is ultimately up to you! I am happy to accomodate whatever your pet needs.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Oldsmar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oldsmar is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 7,125 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oldsmar. 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oldsmar. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 .

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.
