“This was my first time using Rover. We’re new to the area and needed help with dog sitting. Melissa was great! My dogs were happy and healthy when I came home. Loved getting all the updates and pictures while I was gone! Will definitely use again!”
“Heather is amazing!!! This was my first experience leaving my dog.. He was injured just before I had to leave. He is on steroids, has head harness, & has never been without family… She went way above & beyond to make him comfortable. She is wonderful & I would recommend her to everyone ❤️”

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.
“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!!”

“Rick did a great job and treated my Ozzy like he was one of his own. I would highly recommend his services his background in dogs is impressive. Will be using his services again in the future.”


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: 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.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. As an adult, I rescued and trained two dogs of my own and have experience as a professional dog walker and pet sitter. I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own and I will be especially careful to follow any instructions you may have for their care. I am currently working part-time so I am free to visit with and/or walk your pups during the day. I can also check in on your cats or other small pets. I am available for midday visits and walks, and overnight pet sitting. I can also bring in packages, mail, or follow any other special instructions. I will care for your pets as if they were my own.
“This was my 2nd booking with Sierra and both times she has been excellent with my babies ! Appreciate her photos and detailed notes about everything. Can’t wait to book again!”


About: I have 2 pups of my own, 2 kids, and have taken care of family and friend’s pets when they have traveled or needed care. My work hours are flexible which provides me plenty of opportunity to take care of your pets. My pets are family and yours would be too. I have flexible work hours, a car for availability to be mobile, and can take care of the animals as needed. This will ensure proper care for your pets needs. I have a fenced in yard and a home with plenty of space for animals. We have plenty of room for a furry friend or 2.
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 Stephannie — a dependable and caring pet lover based in Palm Harbor, FL! I specialize in dog walks and cat playtime visits, and I truly enjoy giving pets the exercise, attention, and comfort they need when their favorite humans are away. Whether your dog loves long strolls or quick potty breaks, I make sure every walk is safe, fun, and suited to their pace. For cats, I’m all about gentle interaction, playtime, and keeping their routines consistent (plus a few extra cuddles if they’re in the mood!). I’m known for being reliable, calm, and attentive — and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and cared for. I’d love to meet your furry family member and give them the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I can do short walks before 10:30 am or walks after 8:30 pm on the days I work or on my off days I’m free most of the day I follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Dogs get safe, fun walks and plenty of attention, while cats enjoy playtime, fresh food and water, and a clean litter box. I make sure every pet feels loved, secure, and happy until you’re back! 🐾

“Sandy’s first drop in with Torie went great, she was a happy girl when we got home and she took to Sandy right away at our meet and greet. We are looking forward to many more visits from her and are very pleased with her as our pet sitter.”

About: Lifelong dog and cat owner! Trusted with shy pets and have consistently earned praise for building quick connections with lovely animals that usually dislike strangers! I’m currently working part-time at the zoo so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your babies and care for them! I can crate your pets if necessary, provide treats (that you’ve authorized), and give them plenty of attention! I’ll also adhere to all the rules provided for the care of your babies.

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: 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 always loved animals and had many pets throughout my life. I’m experienced in taking care of kittens, cats, and both large and small dog breeds. I’ve had to administer oral and topical medication for cats and dogs, so I’m comfortable with pets that need a little extra care. I also have many invertebrates and reptiles as pets so I’m perfectly content in pet sitting for households with other pet species present I’m a college student with my weekends and middays-afternoons free. Most of my time is spent studying so I have plenty of time to stay with your fur babies as long as you need. For drop ins, just be aware that currently, I can only do visits after 2pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 1pm on Tuesdays. After those times however, I have my entire day and night free. I’m very gentle and soft spoken, I will respect your home, belongings, and pets. Just clarify whatever household rules you have if needed and I will follow them to a T. If your pets have any special needs just tell me, and I will also upkeep a calm and quiet environment.
About: I own 5 dogs myself: 1 German Shepard, 1 Boxer, 1 chihuahuas, and 2 mutts. I also own a long hair cat who was a stray we found, and a 2 year old ferret. I know how to feed all these animals, do litter, take small and big dogs on walks as well as play with them to get the energy out that is needed. I’ve dog sat in the past and been doing it for a while. My family and I are involved with foster dogs, so I can be around many different breeds and be okay with them. I know how to clip nails as well as even bath them if that is ever something that is needed. I also can give a good brushing if needed with a long haired cat or dog. I’m very flexible with what I can do, I do have a full time job and in college, so as long as I can leave and come back after a few hours i’m basically there as much as needed. I have 5 dogs of my own at the house, would prefer for the dog not to come as the shepard doesn’t like new dogs, especially bigger ones.

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!

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 ❤️

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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