“Noelle was absolutely exceptional with our 2 cats and dog! She was so sweet, they all loved her. She constantly communicated with me, did anything and everything in her power to make them feel happy and safe, even through the fireworks during the New Year’s week.”
“Thank you so much for the 10/10 care. Great job with the updates and keeping me informed. Also thanks for keeping their litter boxes clean and for playing with them every visit!”
“Repeat book with Samantha! My pups love her. She really goes above and beyond every visit to ensure the pups get some quality attention and exercise. I love that she has great communication!”
“Laura cuidó de mi perrita de una manera excepcional. Desde el primer momento demostró mucho amor, paciencia y dedicación. Se aseguró de que estuviera bien alimentada, cómoda y atendida en todo momento, tratándola como si fuera su propia mascota. Me dio mucha tranquilidad saber que estaba en tan buenas manos. Se nota que ama a los animales y que realmente se preocupa por su bienestar. Estoy muy agradecida por todo el cariño y la atención que le brindó. Sin duda la recomiendo al 100% y volvería a confiarle el cuidado de mi perrita. 🐾💕 Muchas gracias, Laura, por cuidar tan bien de mi bebé peluda.”
“Alex is amazing with my coco! She provides updates/pictures with every walk & drop in visit. I highly recommend her pet services & I’m so happy I found a dog sitter that loves coco like her own! ❤️”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I've cared for puppies, kittens, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, lizards, monkeys, and other exotic and domestic animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, administer basic care, and provide companionship for their pets while they're away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive and reliable care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work nearby Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and am home most weekends. Depending on your pet's needs and temperament, I may be able to bring well-socialized dogs with me to work, allowing for additional companionship, supervision, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I can also return home during lunch breaks when needed for feedings, medication administration, exercise, or extra attention. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, air-conditioned, and located in a quiet townhouse community with limited traffic, a single entrance and exit, and only a few residential buildings. We have a fenced patio, a dedicated pet walking area nearby, and a large sliding glass door that provides natural light and outdoor views while allowing pets to remain comfortably indoors. Unless otherwise requested by the owner, pets will be kept safely indoors at all times. Outdoor walks, potty breaks, playtime, and patio access will always be provided according to your preferences and your pet's individual needs. I understand that every pet has different routines, rules, and comfort levels, and I am committed to following your care instructions exactly as requested. For added security, my home has keypad entry access, and pets are never given unsupervised access to bedrooms, helping maintain a safe and controlled environment. Fresh filtered water is always available if preferred. I share my home with my 11-year-old son, who has been raised around animals and understands the importance of treating every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. We both genuinely love animals and work together to provide a calm, caring, and welcoming environment where pets feel like part of the family.
“Natalia is incredible!! I hired her very last minute for drop in visits and walks for my bernedoodle Bear, when my plans changed on extremely short notice. She was flexible, reliable and friendly, and even more importantly, she really took the time to connect with Bear. This was my first time leaving Bear since adopting him, and since I work from home, he is not used to spending time alone. After one drop in visit, he began howling after Natalia left; she heard him, went back inside to calm him down, left her sweatshirt for him to cuddle with, and stayed until he settled. I felt so reassured knowing that someone so caring was looking after him. We will absolutely hire Natalia again going forward.”
“Kathryn took such great care of Spike while we were on our extended trip. She was extremely professional, gave us daily updates, and followed our care instructions perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. We will definitely rebook her the next time we need a pet sitter.”

“Lee was great! He came over a few days before his visit to meet my dogs. Lee was very patient with Axel, who gets a little weird with strangers. Lee kept me updated after every visit and sent pictures too. I will most definitely book again with Lee. You can tell he is very comfortable around all animals.”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. My dog now gets walked 1-2 miles almost everyday. I also walk 4 miles about 5 times a week on my own for exercise, so I’m willing to walk short or long distances for your dogs. I have watched my neighbors’ and family members’ dogs multiple times, meaning I have experience with walking up to 4 dogs at a time! I’ve been a stay at home mom for the last 10 years, but I’m a recent empty nester looking to help others with their busy lives. I’m flexible throughout the week to walk dogs and can’t wait to get to know them! I know I am trustworthy with your dogs because my dog is well-cared for with a spacious backyard, daily walks, regular grooming, clean/filled water bowls, is always well-fed, and gets treats with tricks!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with every pet 🐾 I’m not just there to “watch” them—I really take time to understand their personality, their routine, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m very patient and attentive, which helps a lot with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I like to keep things consistent and use positive reinforcement to support any training you’re working on. With senior pets, I’m extra gentle, calm, and make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s slower walks, medication, or just extra cuddles. I’m also big on communication—I’ll send updates and cute photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for your pet to feel loved and relaxed, and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands 💛 Pet care fits really naturally into my day because it’s something I genuinely love doing 🐾 I have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to stop by for visits, walks, or just hangout time whenever your pet needs it. I like to keep things consistent for them—feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company—so they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m super easygoing when it comes to working around your pet’s schedule. Honestly, spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the day, so it never feels like a job—more like I get to hang out with a bunch of cute new friends 💛🐶🐱 Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved 🐾 I’m very attentive to their routine and environment—making sure doors are secure, food and water are fresh, and they’re always in a calm, clean space. I’m also very mindful when it comes to safety. I double-check locks, keep a close eye during walks or outdoor time, and make sure pets are always in a secure environment. I’m good with alarm systems and home security, so you can feel confident your home is being respected and looked after as well. I treat every home and pet like it’s my own—lots of love, patience, and attention to detail so you can fully relax while you’re away 💛
About: As a kid, I wanted to know everything there is to know about Dogs. I’ve learned all the dog breeds and how to train them. Once I got my first dog(American bull dog ) at the of Age 17 I properly trained him. My family and friends were impressed on how well trained he was that they gave me opportunities to train their pets throughout the years. I’ve gain a lot of knowledge on what works and what doesn’t. It all depends on how the dogs gets motivated. I’ve also had experience in housesitting and taking care of the household pets. I’m currently a part timer at Publix . I’m usually free throughout the week, and I work a mid shift on the weekends. I’ll be available in the evening or at night for weekends but on the week days I’m available in the mornings as well. If you have a gated fence, I like to go outside with your pet and watch them go to bathroom and give them some exercise with a toy or just simply running around them. If you would like me to walk your dog around the neighborhood I would make sure they are safe and secure and I’ll protect them as if they were my own.

Mariana took care of our Maltese while we were away and she was outstanding. She dropped in to visit 3 times a day and she was on time, amazing with Brady --taking him out for walks, taking him out back and gave him so much love--and sent lots of pictures and videos. She follows instructions perfectly. We wish we can have her come visit Brady every day! Cant wait to see you again Brady sends you lots of hugs!!!!!!
Sofia was a perfect sitter for my two cats Uma and Nya while we were away visiting family during Memorial Day weekend. She was prompt to show up for feedings, playtime and followed directions to the tee! Would not hesitate to ask her to care for them again! The time of her visit, and pictures gave us peace of mind during our time away!!
Alize was incredible. For starters she is extremely professional, respectful and trustworthy. My dog Tyson is extremely particular with people, but he just LOVED her. The drop in visits were 3x/day for a week, and she was punctual for all of them. She made sure Tyson got his daily exercise by taking him out and playing fetch the ball with him. She even showed up with more food for him because towards the end of the week he was running low on some of his food. If you’re looking for an outstanding dogsitter that is reliable, trustworthy and a true animal/dog lover, Alize is the top choice. Our family is blessed to have found such a special person. Thank you Alize!!

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 Palmetto Bay 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
