“I went out of town for work and contacted Nicole the day before. She was extremely friendly and flexible with her time. She met myself and Denver prior to my trip to introduce herself and meet the pup! Excellent service. I greatly appreciate her time and service while I was away. Thank you, Nicole!”
“Thank you for loving my Lucy gal so much!! I appreciate the thorough updates and all the photos I received. Those are the extra touches that mean so much when I’m away missing my fur babies. ❤️ 10/10 plan to book again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. My family had a farm where we raised pigs and cows, and growing up my grandma had 21 indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve also grown up with dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals throughout my life. My family currently has both a pug and a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable around dogs of all sizes. I currently have two cats of my own, and one has epilepsy, so I’m also comfortable giving medication and following specific care routines. I understand how important consistency and attention can be when a pet has additional needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ll treat every pet I care for like one of my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, medication, and plenty of attention. I like to meet pets beforehand whenever possible so they can get comfortable with me and I can learn their routine, personality, and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also comfortable giving medication and caring for pets with special needs.
About: I grew up with cats and have spent the last three years co-raising a dog with my sister, so I know the ins and outs of daily walks, feeding schedules, and all the little things that make pets feel at home. I treat every dog like my own — plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I work as a bartender, so my schedule can vary week to week — but it also means I often have stretches of daytime availability that a typical 9-to-5 doesn’t allow. Right now we’re in slow season, so I have a lot of extra time on my hands, which makes it a great time for me to take on walks, visits, and sitting. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, my priority is keeping their routine as normal as possible. In my home, pets have space to relax, regular walks or playtime, and constant company — I don’t believe in leaving animals alone for long stretches. In a client’s home, I follow their existing routine closely: same feeding times, same walk schedule, same rules around furniture or favorite spots. I want your pet to feel comfortable, not like their world has been turned upside down.
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.
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.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, so much so that I made it my career! I grew up with many pets, including a cocker spaniel, Dalmatian, two greyhounds, and a cat I picked out when I was just 6 years old! I’ve always known I wanted to work with animals from a young age, and have a career in zoo keeping! This means I worked with animals every single day, and have the training skills and experience to give your fur babies the best care! I’m currently working 4 days a week, with my days off being Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. Sometimes those change, so contacting me is the best way to know my availability! I will always provide the safest environment for your pets. I am very attentive to any behavioral changes and illnesses that may come up, and have the experience to deal with most situations. I will also always provide a high level of communication with you about your pets!
“We absolutely loved having Reina and Leroy take care of our furbabies while we were gone. It was our first time using this service and they went above and beyond. We plan to use them for our next trip and all future trips.”
About: Grew up with dogs my whole life. We always had yorkies in the house. Boxers in the family, pitbulls. My mom worked at a pet store and animal clinic; she was always bringing animals home. I currently volunteer at the Human Society; I walk dogs, feed the puppies, and pick up poo. I'm a part time student and study online from home. I am an animal lover but have not yet made the commitment to adopt my own. If caring for yours, they will be the star. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or special instructions and plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to each pets, individual personality and needs whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a calmer approach.
About: I’ve taken care of many breeds and sizes of dogs. As a mom of two angel dogs, I know all the ins and outs of caring for pups. From playtime and walks, to administering medication and specialized feeding routines, I will care for your fur baby like they are my own. I work part time and am self employed, so I choose my own hours and I can accommodate any timing needs for pet care 24/7! I am very detail oriented and will follow your care instructions exactly as you want them. I can help with any pet care aspect you need.
“New to the area and I am VERY skeptical about strangers watching my dogs. Let me just say how thankful I am to have met Carolina! She has been such a life saver, and she spoils & treats my boy as if he is her own. She is Reliable, great at communicating, sends updates (photos) and overall a very sweet person. I will definitely continue to use her for all of my weekly walks/stays. Thank you for watching my Buddy ?❤️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Palm River-Clair Mel
Josephine was absolutely wonderful with Porter! ❤️ It gave me such peace of mind knowing my baby was in such kind, caring, and capable hands. Porter loved her, and it was clear he was so well cared for during their time together. She sent plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates describing their time together, which I really appreciated and made me feel so comfortable while I was away. Finding someone you can trust with your fur baby is so important, and Josephine truly exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog walker. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Dwayne is an awesome choice when it comes to taking care of your fur baby! Sometimes life happens, and I was incredibly grateful that Dwayne was available for a last minute booking. He already remembered the specific care Kingston needed and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done exactly the way I wanted. He was always punctual with walks and meals and gave extra attention to my senior Doberman, Kingston. It’s clear that Dwayne genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and that peace of mind is priceless. There’s nothing better than coming home to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for pet. I highly recommend Dwayne to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Kingston gives him two paws up! 🐾

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Palm River-Clair Mel. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Palm River-Clair Mel after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.
Every walker 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.

- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
