“Linda is always so flexible with being able to walk my dog at the last minute. She is very communicative and makes me feel comfortable when I have a day of plans and cannot take my dog out ❤️”
“Anastasiia's quick response for a last minute booking helped us feel at ease leaving for our trip out of state. She warmed up to our friendly cat easily and provided pictures daily of them playing. We will definitely be calling her again. Thank you for loving on Lucille!”

“I can't say enough positive things about Angela. She was able to accommodate my last minute trip. She kept in contact throughout the day, provided adorable updates and pictures. Even though I was out of town, I felt my animals were in good hands, and I had peace of mind. I'm actually looking forward to going out of town again because I know my babies will be well taken care of. Thank you Angela!! I appreciate you!”
“Kristen went above and beyond for my Bruno! And she did it on short notice and a holiday none the less. Couldn't be more thankful for her dropping in. I will ask for her again!!”

About: I have a greyhound/pitbull/husky named Syd. He is my best friend! Ever since I was little I love taking care of my dogs and other dogs. I am currently available just through the week 9am-2pm and after 6pm. I work at a after school care during the time I am not available. I live in an apartment complex! I usually walk my dog around and he neighborhood to get his energy. He loves other dogs and he is very friendly!
About: Hi! I love animals and I’m caring, passionate and friendly. I have experience with all types of animals, big and small. I’d love to take care of your fur babies too! I’m home all day so I can take care of your pets all day. I can offer baths and nail cuts also for an additional fee. Tips are very much appreciated ❤️🫶🏻 P.s I do NOT have any pets of my own. Please let me know if your pet is not fully potty trained, please bring pee pads if so. Also, if your dog is in heat, there will be an additional fee that will be incurred. I do local pick up and drop off within 5-10 miles for a small fee. Longer distances are open to discussion but do incur a fee for gas/wear and tear. Let me know if you are looking for over 2 weeks and we can adjust pricing for long term. Please be aware there are times I may have other dogs from another family or families. I take great care towards your pet and their safety and happiness is top priority. If your animal is not ok with others, please let me know and confirm with me that I don’t have others during that time. I work from home so I have flexible availability. I can watch pets in my home, during the week or weekends, or in your home for daily walks, care etc. I do not have any pets of my own. Drop off/pick up hours are between M-F 7 am-8 pm. Weekends are 9 am-8 pm. Please message me if you need to pick up or drop off after or before. We may have to reschedule for the day before or after. I have a big home and big yard (empty retention pond) for your pet to run in. I can transport your pet also. I have experience with big and small animals.
“Emily is amazing! It was my first time leaving my baby for so long and she was so caring and attentive. I am so grateful for all the pictures and little updates I got. I looked forward to each one! Thank you Emily for making it easy to take a trip and know that my little Willow was taken care of and getting love!!”
“Blue absolutely loved them and I will definitely be rebooking with them on my next trip. My high energy dog was worn out each time and my family was comfortable with them. They were super attentive and friendly. I was comfortable with them taking care of my dog while I had no service and was not worried because of how much he loved them at the meeting.”
“Adriana was great!. She hit if off immediately with my three-month old Shihpoo, and her first visit had accompanying photos and a report of Roisin's activities. I will use her again!”
“Kelli is an amazing sitter for our 3 cats! She follows all of our detailed instructions well, is very communicative and quick to let us know of any issues or concerns, very thoughtful if any problem solving is needed, and sends us great thorough updates and lots of pictures so we can see how our babies are doing while we are away! We will continue to work with Kelli as long as she will have us during any of our pet care needs! We would highly recommend Kelli to anyone, especially those looking for folks who are caring and considerate of cats needs, which can be quite different than those of other furry friends.”

Summer was wonderful with both my dog Layla and Cat Chester! Everyday she left a little note of how my pets were doing and lots of pictures! It gave me such comfort to know my babies were in good hands! Will be using her again to do drop in visits. Thank you again Summer!
Amanda was wonderful! She came by twice today to check on and walk Novi while we were at the beach all day, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing Novi was in great hands. We absolutely love her, and Novi does too! We’re so grateful for how dependable, caring, and sweet she is. Highly recommend!
Jennifer did a fantastic job caring for my dog while I was out of town. From the moment we connected, she was professional, dependable, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I returned home, my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly comfortable with Jennifer. It’s obvious she truly loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again in the future.
Brookelynn is phenomenal! This was our first experience using Rover for our 4 fur babies and initially I was very nervous to have someone outside of our friends and family watch them. Brookelynn put all our worries at ease! Her and her husband were so attentive with our dogs Jax and Leo (who can be an handful) and took extra special care of our cats Opal and Rue. I’ll definitely be working with them again! Thank you both for providing my babies with the best care ❤️

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 Palm Harbor 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.
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 Palm Harbor 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Palm Harbor with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palm Harbor. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
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.
