“Claire was very communicative and went the extra miles to make our pups feel loved during her check ins. She was a great dog sitter and we’d recommend her for your furry friends!”
“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 ❤️”
“Mia was great with our puppy! This was our first time using Rover and she put our minds at ease and was able to do a last minute meet and greet with us. She was timely and provided great updates and pictures of her time with him. We will definitely use her services again!”
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.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently share my home with four rescue pets—two dogs and two cats. One of my dogs is deaf, and both have anxiety, so I’ve learned that patience, consistency, and earning an animal’s trust are far more important than expecting instant affection. Because of my own pets, I’m especially comfortable caring for shy, anxious, rescue, senior, and special-needs animals. I understand the importance of sticking to routines, reading body language, and making each pet feel safe and secure while their family is away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m attentive to details, comfortable following feeding schedules and medication instructions, and I’ll send plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring hands. My goal isn’t just to keep your pets safe—it’s to make sure they feel loved, understood, and as comfortable as possible until you’re home again. I work full-time during regular business hours, so I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, as well as overnight stays in your pet’s home on select weekends each month. I keep my availability up to date on Rover, so you’ll always know when I’m available. When I commit to caring for your pets, you can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home’s routine. Because I offer care in your pet’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any house rules you have. I understand that every pet has different needs, whether they’re energetic, anxious, senior, or simply creatures of habit. I’ll treat both your home and your pets with the same care and respect I give my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and if I ever notice anything out of the ordinary, I’ll communicate with you right away so you always have peace of mind.
“Summer did and excellent job taking care of my two older pups who have never been babysat before. She was attentive, on time and followed all my instructions. We look forward to having her back in the future. 🩷”
“Debbie was amazing! Super responsive and kind, she made the process a breeze. She was super attentive with our cat, provided lots of pictures, and made us feel comfortable with our choice to go with a sitter. Absolutely would recommend her!”
“Thank you for ALWAYS giving us such a peace of mind when we are away! You love our babies so much and I know that can’t wait to see you when you visit! You truly are incredible at taking care of our 3 dogs!”
“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!”
“For the first time I had to find someone to watch my pup on a 4 day trip, I couldn’t be happier than finding Torie. From the regular updates with photos and videos to coming home from the trip and finding a very happy dog waiting to greet me, I could tell how well taken care of he was. Torie was on top of communication and was open to requests to make sure my boy was more than adequately cared for. I will 1000% reach out to Torie exclusively for any trips that I take in the future that necessitate a sitter for my dog. Thank you so much Torie!!”

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.”

Pet 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 a great pet sitter . She took excellent care of our 2 cats and handled giving daily medication to one . She was very caring and spent extra time brushing them. She is good at keeping in touch and sharing photos. I would definitely recommend using her .
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!
Courtney was phenomenal! We had such detailed notes for Jax, and she flowed them great. She sent constant detailed updates, gave lots and lots of chin rubs and provided the care and relief we needed to be able to go away. It’s scary introducing an 18 year old cat to a new person per the first time and we felt safe and comfortable leaving him in her wonderful care. We will certainly use her services again if we ever get another weekend away.
Debbie watched my cat, Justice, for the 2nd time so far, and she is amazing - she ensured Justice's automatic feeder and water fountain were full and functional, cleaned her litter box, and most importantly, stayed in touch with me each visit. I greatly appreciate how she sends photos and appears to truly care about my cat's wellbeing.
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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 Palm Harbor. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
