About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for over a decade now, and have enjoyed every minute of it. Along with my education in animal sciences at Eckerd College, I believe I have all the tools you need to feel assured that your pet will be pampered in all the best ways. I currently work part time at a doggy daycare facility in St. Petersburg and have extra time on my hands. I wanted to earn extra income while continuing to do what I love. I pamper each pet to the maximum extent within me. Even if your pet is not receptive to new people all the time I believe I offer the patience and kindness as well as training in animal body language to understand them and speak their language. Given some time, any animal can be loved and given all the affection they could ever ask for even if they don’t always trust you at first glance.
“We CANNOT say enough good things about Maya!! Maya took great care of our pups + did me a huge favor and took out dinner from our freezer when I had forgot! 😂 We absolutely LOVE how many extra pictures she sends, and how she plays fetch with both our pups every time she comes over!! We will be recommending Maya to our friends & will be/already have booked her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to love and care for their furry friends! I am currently working a full-time job with hours from 7:45 - 3:30, but my weekends are free! My schedule is completely available during the summer! I have a fur baby of my own and live in a lovely neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I can easily create your pet if needed.
“Rebecca was amazing! Ollie and Felix were well taken care of, and everything was done right on time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book again!”
About: I’m currently a full time nanny who has experience caring for my work families dogs! I also have a high maintenance little guy of my own! My full time job doesn’t until later in the day so I have open availability from 8:30-11:30am! I also can create availability on the weekends if requested! I have a very dog friendly home, as I have a dog myself! It’s a safe environment with plenty of dog activities & toys! I also make a point to give individual attention & nurturing!
About: Having been raised by a father who was a veterinarian, I’ve had experience raising and caring for various types of animals. I believe our fur babies aren’t just pets, but are our children, family, guides and protectors I recently resigned from teaching and only have to care for my kitty child Lyran, so I’m pretty free and available for most dates and times requested. Having a cat baby at my house, I would prefer to go to the clients house to care for their pets. I can make exceptions and keep a clients pet depending on the pet and requirements for care.
“Abigail is professional, kind, and so good with Tato. He clearly loved her! And her communication with me while I was gone was excellent! I’ll happily have her care for Tato again!”
About: Hi, I’m Allison! I’ve had pets my entire life and have pet sat for many of my family and friends. I am a huge animal lover, dogs are my favorite animal! My dream job is to hang out with dogs, so this is perfect for me! I currently work full time, Monday-Friday, 9 to 5 and I am available from 6pm onwards. I’d would love to spend time with your pet :) I do occasionally work evenings and Saturdays, but it’s normally half a day on Saturday. I live in an apartment, so I’m not able to board the pets. But I have pet sit multiple times and am very knowledgeable and confident with most aspects of pet care.
About: I’ve grown up with and around animals all my life, I am super active and love being outside, so walks are my favorite! Have experience with both cats and dogs. Looking to help out during my off season from soccer, don’t hesitate to reach out and we can make something work! :) I’m currently in my off season of playing professional soccer, so therefore I am just training at the moment. This means I have a lot of free time through the day and flexibility to work! My dog recently passed, but I would care for her by taking her on a walk during the evening when it wasn’t too hot. Would allow her outside to our fenced yard where she loved to sunbathe and play with her and her favorite toys when she felt up to it! I also love to give her cuddles and kisses cause she was so affectionate. We get to love pets for only a short time of our lives but they love of us for all of theirs, making the privilege of caring for them an honor.
About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. Primarily we had dogs growing up but we also had cats, lizards, rabbits etc. currently I have 2 pups, 3 cats, a snake and 2 emu’s! Now I am no expert but I am quite experienced in handling animals and fortunately for me, my girlfriend is a former veterinary technician and currently teaches vet med at the southern Brandon technical college, so I’ll always have an expert on standby if anything were to ever occur. I also have several contacts at livewell animal hospital as well as beacon emergency pet hospital. As a veteran and former law enforcement officer I can also assure you I am great at handling tense or stressful situations and even better at handling unexpected emergencies I work full time as an overnight field supervisor for allied universal security services. At the moment I work Sunday through Thursday from 8PM to 4AM. I am available on these days between 1PM and 6PM. On Friday and Saturday I am available all day I pride myself on following client instructions to the letter. Everyone has their habits and routines that they’re comfortable with and I think it’s important for pets to be able to maintain that comfortable routine when their owner is away
“Maggie was very communicative and provided appropriate care for my cat! Maggie took pictures of him and he seemed to enjoy his time with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend her.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Palm River-Clair Mel
Rachel was so professional and attentive! My cat and dog were comfortable with her instantly after their first visit; she has been watching Lulu and Carson for almost 6 years. She followed all of the directions we left and is always very accommodating when I ask her to change the booking times. Rachel is friendly, respectful and trustworthy. Would recommend her services to all cat/dog parents !!
We couldn’t be happier with our pet sitter! They were reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring with our pet. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

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.

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.
