About: In regards to my experience with personal pet care. From a young age, I have raised and help nurture animals in all stages of their life. Along with dogs I have provided care for other animals such as: Cats, Fish, and Horses of various shapes and sizes. LGBTQIA friendly 💖🏳️🌈 I am currently a Freelance Character Designer and Illustrator, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Let me know what's up and I'll probably be down. I care for your pets as if they were my own. Your pets wellbeing and comfort is a top priority! Also I maintain and keep schedules and plans in place for your pet; along with monitoring health, behavior and notifying pet parents of any change that arises while in my care. I want to be 100% transparent with everything that goes on in your absence to keep you at a peace of mind.
“Carmen has done a great job with our puppy! She feeds her when needed, takes her outside for outdoor time and plays indoors with her as well. We come home to a very content puppy. 😊 Cheryl S.”
“Ying was amazing! I found her last minute on Rover and she was very responsive, punctual, and communicative the entire time. She sent me pictures of my kitties and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. For a last-minute booking, it was a great first experience and I would definitely use her again.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life so I have a lot of experience caring for them. They become my family and I love them dearly. I treat them better than most people treat their children. I would do anything for them, and I would treat any other pet the exact same way, as if they were my own. I live in a house with a fenced in backyard, great for running and playing. I live in a safe neighborhood with large sidewalks that are great for afternoon walks. I have a standard poodle and a mini-poodle who love to run and play together, they would make your pet feel welcomed and right at home. I also have two cats that are very friendly and loves the dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around visits, ensuring, consistent, reliable care, timely walks, feedings, and regular updates. I follow each pets routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates for peace of mind.
“Christine was awesome and we can't say enough good things about her. We received daily pictures and updates during our time away and she was extremely helpful with our older, 17-year-old, cat, as well as with our two 9-month-old kittens. Christine was very responsive to our texts, and we will continue to book her as our caretaker when we are away.”
“Grace did a wonderful job with my kitties once again. ❤️ She even gives my cat Tinkerbell her pill twice a day with a pill pocket. Bella is definitely falling in love with her. Thanks so much Grace!”
About: Welcome to my home-based dog boarding experience, where your pup becomes part of the family! I can offer a huge fenced-in yard perfect for safe play, exercise, and outdoor fun. Overnight boarding is available for potty-trained pets, and dog walking can be included as part of their stay. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I strive to provide loving, individualized care for every guest. Solitary boarding accommodations are also available upon request for pets who do best in their own space (additional fee may apply). Because my home includes elementary-age children, all pets must be child-friendly. Your dog will be cared for by me and Melody — our lovable, mischievous 1-year-old rescue pup! Pet care is naturally built into our daily routine because animals are a big part of my home and family life. There is always plenty of love, attention, and activity to go around. Dogs in my care enjoy regular outdoor time in our large, fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules tailored to their needs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I attend to other responsibilities during the day, I ask that your pet is crate or kennel comfortable to ensure their safety while we are away. Pets staying in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of supervised outdoor play in our large fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules based on your pet’s routine, and lots of affection and companionship throughout the day.
“cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.”
“Great sitter!! Pleasant. Communicative and personable. Very flexible with her schedule. Always checking in and checking out! — sent a lot of pictures. Highly recommended. Will use her again!”
About: My husband, Trevor, and I both grew up with dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, fish, and he even had several birds! Over our years together we have loved three dogs, a bearded dragon, and a turtle. We have also been relied on, and trust by, many friends and family members to take care of their pets while at work or away. We have an especially soft spot for dogs and are taking our unbeatable belly rubs full-time with drop-in care and walking for small to medium (up to 40lbs) dogs. Larger dogs will be considered if they are a companion to a smaller dog. I also provide drop-in cat and other pet care upon request. Pet care is my (Morgan) full-time job, so your pet will receive my full time and attention during each play-date or walk. I am available Monday through Friday mornings and and afternoons from 6am-3pm, with some evening availability on Mondays and Fridays from 5-8pm. Additionally, I am available all day on most weekends. Please reach out with your pet’s needs - I can’t wait to meet them! Tail waggin walks, play, and cozy cuddles await! Pet care is my full-time job, so you can rest assured your pup will be well supervised and cared for throughout the play-date. I am available Monday through Friday mornings and and afternoons from 6am-3pm, with some evening availability on Mondays and Fridays from 5-8pm. Go on - schedule that tail waggin walk or play-date! When you book a walk or play-date with me - you and your pet become family. You can expect the same level of care and respect as we give to our baby boys. Barker, our chunky frenchie, and Gus, our hilarious little chorkie, receive daily walks and playtime at the dog park and yard (weather accommodating). When the rain or heat keeps us in, Barker loves to chase a ball or play tug of war, while Gus enjoys scratches and a cozy nap! Whatever your pet’s speed - I am here to accommodate and ensure they receive the highest level of care, always.
About: As someone who likes to travel, I know the anxiety of being away from your beloved pet. I myself have a rescue cat and older dog. I have also dog sat for family members; ensuring walks, vet visits, and all other needs were taken care. I love animals. While your away, I'll make sure to care for them like your not even away. :D I work part-time at UTC Mall. My schedule can be very flexible. I have windows of open availability throughout the day, depending on location. I am will to drive to most places within Manatee County. I consider myself a person that dog and cats find approachable. I do not pressure them and allow pets to find their comfortable space with me. Whether that is how I approach or speak to a pet. I many times will allow them to smell me, when they are ready. I find it very important to build trust.
About: I'm new to Rover.com as a pet sitter, but I have a lifetime of experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞
“Thank you Tara. Our 2 dogs were well taken care of. I appreciate booking her last minute. We usually can have family watch our pups, but we will definitely call Tara again if we need a sitter.”

Dot was wonderful with my Goldendoodle, Charlie. From our first conversation throughout Charlie’s visit with Dot, her communication and the comfort she provided was exceptional. Great attention to detail, promptness and follow through with instructions. Dot has a kind and loving personality. That was a perfect match for my fur baby. I will be hiring her again.

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 Osprey 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 Osprey. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
