About: I am Marine Mammal Animal Care Professional. I have been in the animal care field for over a decade. During that time I have worked with animals of all ages and abilities, including but not limited to animals with vision and hearing impairments, senior animals, and animals with physical disabilities. I am responsible for paying very close attention to all details of facets of animal care, including but not limited to training and maintaining behaviors using positive reinforcement and other operant conditioning techniques, noting physical changes, appetites, managing food/caloric intake, and medication administration. A huge part of my job is reading and adjusting to animal behavior, and I am well versed in listening to animal body language. I am an animal care professional by trade, and though most of my experience is with exotic animals the care, passion, and expertise translate directly to pet care! Though I work 40 hours per week I work 4-10 hour days, leaving me with three full days off per week! I have very few other commitments outside of work, and live only a few miles from home. I live in a house with moderately sized fenced in back yard. I currently have a very friendly, well socialized tuxedo cat who gets along well with dogs and other cats. Though he usually has access to the entire house, he is also comfortable spending time in just my room if separation from other animals were to be needed or desired. I enjoy spending time with my or friends pets in my down time. My entire career is in animal care, so I am very used to adapting my routine and needs to fit the animals I am caring for. I will happily curl up on the couch with a furry friend or spend hours playing or walking, whatever suits each individual animals needs!
“Dylan was a wonderful sitter for my kitties. She was very communicative and did a great job. Everything looked great upon my return and kitties seemed very content and happy. Will definitely ask for her service again!”


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’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats. I’m currently a proud dog mom to a 3-year-old German Shepherd, so I’m especially comfortable with large, energetic breeds and understand the importance of exercise, patience, consistency, and lots of attention. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and company, I’ll care for them like I would my own. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets!

About: Hello! I’ve pet sat for a variety of pets for 7+ years with different weight and medical needs. I also used to work at a Veterinary Hospital in kennel and boarding services. Washing and nail clipping services are available upon request. I love pets and will treat them as my very own spoiled child with lots of pictures, love, and allowed treats. I’m available to petsit throughout the week. Dog walking will be limited during weekdays. Longer stays gets an extended discount. I request all pets to be on regularly treated with flea medication. Let me know if your pet is leash broken and if they’re socialized! There’s multiple dog parks around the west coast for Florida and I’d love to be able to get your lovelies the best care possible. If you have any further questions, please feel free to send me a message! I currently work from home 8:30 am - 4:30pm and can adjust scheduling when needed. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. I am unable to house pets in my home but am happy to make frequent visits or stay in the clients home if required.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner for 10 years, I’m now embarking on a new chapter after 24 wonderful years in Chicago. Following a long career in advertising sales, I’m seeking a slower-paced, more fulfilling path — one that lets me combine my reliability with my love for animals. At 49, I bring maturity, responsibility, and genuine care to every pup I watch, ensuring your they are looked after as if they were my own. Also, the doodle you see in some pics is my amazingly chill, gets along with every living thing, sidekick Lambeau. So please note your dog(s) must be okay with other dogs. I'm currently taking some time off and won't be going back to remote work until the fall '26, at the earliest. So I'm very flexible with my time at the moment. I live in an apartment complex (2 bed / 2 bath) with a huge unfenced grassy area off my lanai, that Lambeau and I call our own backyard. I also live across the street from John Chesnut park, in the Tarpon Woods area so Lambeau and I spend lots of time at that huge dog park and/or exploring the various trails. So if you're open to that as well, I'll gladly take your pup(s) over there for some adventures.

I currently have a dog and two bearded dragons. I walk my dog 30 minutes a day three times a day. For my dragons, I take them out for exercise and feedings.

About: While earning a B.S. in Animal Health and Behavior from Unity Environmental University, I had the opportunities to work in a variety of animal care positions. I have experience working as a kennel attendant (dogs, cats, and exotics), dog bather, animal shelter technician, animal nutrition intern at Zoo Tampa, and pet sitter for dogs and cats (2 years). I have volunteered in veterinary clinics, animal shelters and aviary hospitals. I have a genuine passion to care for animals, treating each animal as if they are my own. I am available to pet sit in home for any period of time but will be at work from 10am - pm on Monday, Thursday and Friday. Pet Sitting - 7 days a week Dog Walking - 7 days a week Limited Hours/ Days - Monday, Thursday, Friday 10am - 4pm Pet Sitting: I find it of utmost importance to stick to an animal's routine as closely as possible while their owners are away. Leaving your pets while you go out of town can be stressful, I aim to alleviate any concerns by maintaining proper communication, and by caring for your animal as if they were my own girl, Sadie. Each animal is different in so many ways, I aim to touch base with clients regarding medication, allergies, likes and dislikes, weekday/weekend routine and more. I am a simple person, either reading a book, studying, or going on a walk. I am trained in dog walking techniques and feel comfortable walking reactive dogs, as my dog is reactive herself.
About: I have been pet sitting and walking for a decade now and have my own pets. I can handle small and big dogs as well as young and old dogs. I go at their speed with a gentle push so we get some distance in too. I work from home most days and that allows a flexible schedule to get plenty of play time and walks in throughout the day or I care for them like my own and cuddle as much as possible if they like that. If not we just chill and keep each other company

I’m currently only available for dog walking and potty breaks and/ or feedings. Im not currently available for any type of boarding or overnight visits.
About: I’m a hardworking and caring person who absolutely loves animals, especially cats and dogs. I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets and pet sitting in the past, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Dogs bring so much joy into life, and I’d love to bring a little joy into theirs while you’re away. I enjoy running and taking long walks, so if your dog loves exercise, I’d be more than happy to join them. Every dog deserves love, no matter their age, and it would be my pleasure to care for them. Cats, with their calm and unique personalities, hold a special place in my heart too. I’ll make sure your cats feel loved, respected, and cared for while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Harbor
Margot was absolutely wonderful with our pet! She was reliable, caring, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing our furry family member was in great hands. She kept us updated and clearly treated our pet like her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust and would happily recommend Margot to anyone looking for a kind and dependable pet sitter. We will definitely be calling her again and again 😆

Christine was wonderful with my dogs while I was away! She took such great care of them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Christine was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves animals. I came home to happy, well cared for dogs, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Christine and would absolutely trust her with my dogs again!

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 ❤️

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.

Nicole was amazing! She has great communication, and my girls loved her. She was patient and understanding when it came to my reactive dog and took the time to let her warm up to her. I will definitely be using Nicole again in the future and have already suggested her services to my fellow dog parents at work!

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.

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.
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
