About: I have had a pet in my home since I was born. The first dog I remember was Ginger, then PJ, then Sparkie, then Jenna and Millie, Anja and Argus, then Bonnie and Clyde, and now we have our very friendly buddy, Gustav. They ranged from a miniature Schnauzer and Jack Russels to Rottweilers and German Shepherds. My closest friend's dad bred and trained German Shepherds while I was in high school. I was surrounded by a pack most of my life and loved it. I owned a local pup friendly pub for 14 years and made it a point to great every dog that came in. I am hoping for the chance to see some of those dogs again! My current schedule is very flexible, so I can focus on the pet's care when they need it. I understand that different pets require different things at different times and I am able and willing to accommodate with a bit of forewarning. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly 10 month old puppy who loves new company. He and I go for walks around our neighborhood daily and we do outings to the park a few times a week. I have 2 cats that are indifferent to dogs and they have their own separate space so they can be alone if they want. I deep clean the litter boxes at least twice a week and would be happy to do the same for your kitties at your home. (Access to a hose outside is very helpful for this) I have room for crates and pets are not left outside unattended. I am very vigilant about picking up poop and want to keep a clean yard for the pups to play in.
“If you are trying to find someone to trust within your home and with your precious animals then Jeana is the one to choose! I booked her last minute and she was available and eager to take over. Sent images / updates twice a day and not only took care of my cats but my home as well! Anything you need just communicate and she will get it done, I never thought I would find someone so trusting and kind and the fact that she left a card for us when we came home was a whole new level! Thank you again for watching my fur babies and we will 100% be rebooking!”


About: On top of being a vet assistant for almost 10 years now, I have my own 5 pets that I take care of, each with their particular set of needs. I know all about having a specific routine so I’ll make sure things are done exactly as requested! I have two crazy pit mixes at home, but I also had my family Yorkie that I would take care of up until she passed back in 2025. I also have 3 cats, one of them being special needs (CH, IYKYK). I currently work 10 hour shifts, Monday-Thursday as a vet assistant. I normally go home during lunch anyway to let my own dogs out, so I could always try to accommodate extra time to let your dogs out as well if needed. Since I’m very limited on time during those days, I’d have to be relatively close to my job (10-15 min) to be able to provide midday care for everyone. Weekends (including Friday) I have more flexibility though, as my boyfriend would be home to take care of my pets while I take care of yours! I know a pet’s home is the most comfortable environment for them, so I will do my best to keep the comfort level while you are away. I can walk wherever/however long they need, provide adequate play, and just spend as much time as possible so that they never feel alone. I can also do any additional tasks around the home, such as light cleaning and taking care of any plants you may have (watering, etc). I’ll always make sure to tidy up before your arrival, that way you have more time to decompress without worrying about cleaning up after me :)

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years, and it’s something I’ve genuinely loved doing from the start. I grew up helping my family with pet sitting we’ve all been on Rover so I’ve had plenty of hand on experience. I’m really comfortable with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies who need extra time and energy to senior pets who need a little more patience and care. I’m all about making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy while their people are away. I also used to run a small reptile rescue, so while dogs and cats are my main focus, I’ve picked up a lot of useful skills when it comes to handling animals with different needs and personalities Pet care fits really well into my daily routine! I’m a full time college student, but my classes are scheduled in a way that keeps my mornings and afternoons free. I’m available every day of the week before 5 PM, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop ins, feedings, and just spending quality time with your pet. I’m super flexible and can usually adjust my schedule to fit what your pet needs When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, I always follow your instructions whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or special routines. I know how much it means for them to stay comfortable and happy in their own space. I treat every home and pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.
About: Dogs and cats are definitely our best friends and, as they love us unconditionally, we are their devoted fans. 🐾 I have a refrigerator magnet that says "I pet all dogs," as I definitely do love them. I did have cats growing up and into my adulthood, and also my son and stepdaughter, so I've had lots of experience with them. I've also had dogs for a large part of my adult life so I'm very experienced with dogs also. I've also watched friends and family cats and dogs and have watched up to five dogs at one time. Our pets give tremendous joy to our hearts, keep us active and put a smile on our face. As such, it would be a pleasure to meet your pet and spend time playing, walking, or running, with him/her and doing whatever they may love to do best. Thank goodness for Rover as it will provide me with opportunities to meet like-minded people with their fur babies and will allow me the opportunity to insure the care, time and love for your pet worry-free while you're away. I will also most definitely send you pictures! I have a flexible schedule and I have lots of experience. I look forward to hearing from you! 🐾 🩷Happy Tails! I'm retired so I'm available to care for your pet, even last minute. I would, of course, like your input on activities for your pet and to know your pet's level of activity and likes/dislikes before engaging him/her but would definitely be sure to make your best friend happy and content while they're with me. I definitely follow the owners instructions on care for their pet, get your approval on activities and know your pet's level of activity and likes/dislikes before engaging him/her. I give lots of attention to your pet to be sure he/she is comfortable here at my home.
About: Hi! I’ve had pets pretty much my entire life, so I know they’re not just pets, they’re family. I also know how stressful it can be leaving them with someone new and wondering how they’re doing while you’re away. One thing that’s really important to me is communication. I’ve used pet sitters before who didn’t send many updates or pictures, and I hated being left wondering if my pets were okay. I don’t want anyone to feel that way when their pet is with me! I’m more than happy to send pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay or during drop-ins. I’m also pretty quick to respond and usually answer messages within 1–2 hours. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own who I love very much. I also grew up taking care of bunnies for many years, so I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and rabbits. What I offer: • Pet sitting in my home: I do ask for a meet and greet beforehand just to make sure everyone gets along and feels comfortable. I also only accept pets from one family at a time. Even though my pets are friendly, I don’t want your pet to feel overwhelmed by having multiple unfamiliar animals staying in the home at once. -For bunnies, a meet and greet isn’t necessary since I have a spare bedroom where they can safely stay separate from my other pets. • Drop-in visits: I’m happy to stop by for feeding, fresh water, playtime, and anything else your pet may need while you’re away. At the end of the day, I’ll treat your pets the way I’d want someone to treat mine. Rest assured your pet(s) will be safe, cared for, and getting lots of love! I am currently a student doing online classes so my schedule is really flexible. I have my own transportation so I can easily jump in my car and visit your pet(s) as well! All of my pets are crate trained, so at nights they will be separated and my cat is friendly but usually tends to stay in the master bedroom sunbathing at the window. All pets are welcome to watch tv on the couch ❤️
About: Hi, I'm Audrey! 🌞 Animals have always been such a huge part of my life, and as a dog mama myself, I know just how precious our furry family members are. They're not just pets, they're our babies! And finding someone you genuinely trust to care for them is everything. I absolutely love spending time with animals, getting outside, going on walks, playing, and giving them all the love and attention they deserve. Whether your pup is full of energy and ready for an adventure or your sweet senior just wants some gentle companionship, I'm happy to meet them exactly where they are. 💛 I'm currently offering dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and other small pets around Palm Harbor and surrounding areas. Each visit is personalized to your pet's needs, whether that's feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medication according to your instructions, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or simply having someone there to keep them company.

I believe animals deserve patience, kindness, respect, and a whole lot of love. I'll always treat your home with care and your pets like the little treasures they are.

My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I understand that inviting someone into your home—and trusting them with a member of your family—is a big deal. I treat every home with the same respect I'd want for my own and always follow your pet's routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or prefers quiet companionship, I take the time to earn their trust and help them feel comfortable. You'll also receive thoughtful photo updates after each visit, so you can truly relax while you're away.
“Athena and Richi are kind, thorough, and great at what they do. At first I was hesitant about using Rover over word-of-mouth sitters, but they turned my opinion around after the very first booking. I’ve booked them several times now. They’re the best you can get, would recommend to anyone.”

“Kelli was absolutely amazing! She responded right away when I needed someone last minute for a 6 day trip I was going on. She took great care of my two cats and my parrot. She had never worked with a parrot before and had no issues and did great. She sent me daily detailed reports of all animals with multiple photos. It put my mind at ease while on vacation. I can tell my pets were happy when I got home. Would definitely book Kelli again!”

About: Hi! I’m Angelee, and I’ve spent the last 6 years ensuring pets stay happy, healthy, and tired out while their humans are away. Whether it’s a high-energy hike for your Lab or a patient, quiet visit for a shy senior cat, I tailor my care to every animal's unique personality. I currently work a full time 8 hours a day, so about every 8 hours I can take care of your pet and walk when I get home and feed. Before I leave for work I will feed and let out and play for a few until it’s time. I do not have a fenced in area but I do have a ground leash that give your pets the ability to run around and sniff out different areas.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Harbor
Courtney was fantastic! I have one cat in particular on a daily medication and she always made sure that Mumble got her medication. She sent so many pictures! And when I returned home my girls were relaxed and happy and I so appreciate it. Knowing that they felt loved and cared for while I was gone. Courtney was also wonderfully detailed, noticing and alerting me to small things around the house while I was gone as well as changing the waters frequently.

Andrea did a wonderful job as our pet sitter. Our cat requires medications at specific times of the day, and Andrea was flexible enough with her schedule to accommodate this. She was always on time with the medications and did a great job! I highly recommend her!

Another great experience with Alex. Our kitties miss her already. Alex does a great job with our gang and even got our shy girl Tribble to at least come out of hiding and watch the boys play with the feather stick. Tribble participating is another thing! Alex shows up early, checks in on the app, and she brought in packages that showed up that we thought we stopped and let us know they were there. She was concerned about something being wrong with our gas fireplace and sent pictures. Turns out nothing was wrong just an old fashioned pilot light system from the 90s but we most definitely appreciate her checking on it. Alex sends lots of pictures and spends time playing with the kitties. When we have out pre trip meetup to go over things our big guy meets her at the door and sits on her lap the whole time she is here. We highly recommend Alex. You will not be disappointed!

We were a little uneasy using the Rover app for the first time but needed a last minute sitter for our dog and cat. Linda was amazing and exceeded expectations. She took great care of our animals, communicated with us and followed up multiple times throughout the visit. Our dog was a little timid at first but quickly warmed up to Linda and loved the attention. Thank you and we will definitely book again ❤️

Our cat Jada, got to meet Chelsea when we had to leave town unexpectedly. I am a very protective mom because Jada is not a friendly cat, but Chelsea used her purrsuasion to coax her out from under the bed. It worked marvelously because Jada now has a new adopted mom. Jada loved spending time with Chelsea and I think the feeling was mutual. The photos and videos helped me to feel that we had made a good choice for a pet sitter. Jada met her at the door each visit. Chelsea is a blessing. Do I highly recommend her? YES I SURE DO. Thank you for being there Chelsea when I couldn't.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Palm Harbor is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 885 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Palm Harbor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palm Harbor. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
