“Francesca was absolutely perfect! Nit only was she exactly on time, she was flexible as our plans changed a few times. Our dogs loved her and she was great with them!! We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!!”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life, from big breeds like German Shepherds to small ones like Maltipoos, so I'm comfortable with every size and energy level. For the past four years I've raised my own dachshund on my own, which taught me how much routine, patience, and attention to small details matter for a dog's happiness. I'm active and reliable, so your pup gets a real walk, not a rushed lap around the block. I'll treat your dog the way I treat mine, and keep you updated with photos so you never have to wonder how the walk went. work a part-time schedule that leaves my Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays completely open, so I'm available around the clock on those days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I have my own dachshund, so morning walks, feeding schedules, and keeping a dog active and happy come naturally to me. On my open days, your pup gets my full attention and a consistent schedule you can count on week after week. In your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you set it, from feeding times and portions to walks, play, and any medications. I keep fresh water out, clean up after every meal and walk, and leave your home as tidy as I found it. On walks, I keep a steady pace matched to your dog's size and energy, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and always use a secure leash. I send photo updates after every visit, and if anything seems off with your pet's appetite, energy, or health, I'll let you know right away.
About: I have cared for lots of different kinds of animals in the past. From puppies, elderly dogs, kittens, and older cats. I have no problem giving them medication or treatments they may need. I work at home so I will be able to walk and spend lots of time with your pet. If you have a set schedule for them I will be able to follow it to a T. I have a fenced in backyard so your dog will be able to run around safely. Also inside my screened area I have a pool, so if they like to swim supervised as well. And for cats that like the fresh outside area the backyard screen provides the perfect space. I have a cat at home but he likes to keep to himself so it’s no problem.
About: I’ve grown up with a dog in my house all mice, a German Shepard named sable, a Labrador named Jake, and currently a pitbull/blue healer named colt who were and are all amazing dogs. I’m always the one to take care of both my sisters dogs and house sit for them as much as I can. I also take care of my best friends dogs and cats whenever they need. I have taken care of other animals privately as well with mainly medium size and small dogs. Dogs have needs whether it’s vet and treatment related or simply walking/play time to expel that explosive energy and I personally love being active as much as I can. Dogs tend to love me and are comfortable with me and I genuinely love taking care of them; they bring a lot of peace and comfort myself too. I’m currently working full time but my days are set so my days off that I’m available are Sunday, Monday, and Fridays. Saturdays I’m available after 2pm and all other days after 6pm. Whatever you need I can provide as much attentive care to your dogs and cats. I am familiar with set diets and exercise as well as stressed and/or hyper active dogs or cats. Let me know what they need and I’ll provide the environment and care!
“Melissa was very attentive to Yogi's needs and I could tell that they built a bond over the two plus days I was gone. I was happy too get pics and updates of my boy when I was out of town. I would definitely use Melissa's services again. It looks like Yogi has a new buddy!”
About: **Flexible schedule!!!** Since I was a child I've had a deep connection with animals! My love for them is what fuels my passion with animal rescue. No matter where I go, animals are drawn to me. Some people call it a "gift" I call it a love connection. I've traveled the world & have even helped find homes for dogs in Greece & most recently Puerto Rico. One of my favorite rescues was a dog I got adopted in FL that I brought back from Puerto Rico after finding him in a tied bag. I've rescued over 100+ dogs & cats and have found them amazing homes. Many of my previous "fosters" still visit with me today. I'm the one who lights up when I see a dog in public. :) I have been a volunteer with Grateful Paws Rescue for 23 years now. Your pets care is my #1 priority, in keeping them safe, loved & having fun while you are away. I know what it's like to be away from your fur baby as I had an amazing 15 yr old Shepherd/Retriever mix Charlie who was my son. I found Charlie on the streets of Hollywood & I didn't like to be away from him one minute. I'll always keep you updated on how your pet is doing so that you don't worry. I also pay attention to details, things like change in behavior etc.. things that could make a difference for your pets health & well being. I take lots of daily leash walks. If you are new to Rover & never booked before, ask me how to get $20 off your first booking with me! **I require a meet & greet before booking an overnight or a walk which is the best thing for all of us. During the meet & greet we will discuss drop off & pick times, and anything else that will help us align on what's best for both of us. I work from home and Meli is with me chillin while I work. I may leave to run errands but your pet will never be left alone for hours. Safety is a top priority with your pets while in my care. Too often there are inexperienced sitters or walkers that are too busy on their phones rather than being alert to what's going on around them. I will always pay attention while caring for your pets as if they were my own. The same thing goes for your home. I would treat it as if it were my own.
About: My name is Z, I am 27 year old, and currently a massage therapy student. I’ve been watching pets and plants for many years while living in Tallahassee, FL. I’ve always jumped at the opportunity to watch my friend’s and neighbor’s pets because I love animals and making people feel at ease that their babies are safe. It brings me joy to leave people assured that I care about their pets just as much as they do, so they can enjoy their trip. Let me make your only stress be how much you miss your furry baby! I am also extremely comfortable taking care of plants, as I have had many houseplants over the years, and have watched many more. I have a fairly open schedule because I am a massage therapy student. On weekdays, I am available early mornings for feedings and walks, then again after 2pm for the rest of the day. I am completely open on weekends. Safety and trust are my number one priority when it comes to being in your home and taking care of your furry family members. They will already be missing you, so the least I can do is make sure their needs are met and boundaries respected. I ask direct questions about their care and personality in order to make them (and you!) feel the most at ease. I can imagine it might feel strange to have a someone new in your home, so I am always sure to clean up after myself and leave everything exactly as I found it.
“Melody did such a phenomenal job with Teddy and really made him feel comfortable the moment she saw him! Puppy’s are never easy to watch and she exceeded expectations and even taught Teddy some potty training, which was a huge bonus. I really recommend her as she is a very responsible kind hearted person that will do a great job taking care of your dog.”
About: Growing up with dogs and cats has taught me to appreciate their love and return it even better! I'm good at walking and playing! I can take good care of senior pups and kitties! I am currently in college, but I have open time every day! I can remain devoted and attentive to your pets when they'd like it!! I can make sure that all pets in my care will be safe at all times, with a watchful eye on them at every moment
“Christina is a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She goes over and beyond to make sure that your pets are well taken care of during her stay. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life and have always been very hands on with their care. I currently have two golden retrievers, german shepherd and two cats have experience giving medication, especially when they were younger. I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also volunteered at a cat shelter, where I helped care for multiple cats at once, including feeding, cleaning, and socializing them. This helped me become patient, attentive, and confident handling different personalities. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like my own. I’m nurturing, responsible, and very attentive to detail. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that seriously. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have dogs and cats of my own. I’m used to feeding on schedule, going on walks, cleaning up after them, giving medication when needed, and making sure they get attention and playtime every day. Taking care of animals isn’t something I “fit in” it’s already a natural part of my life. Safety is my top priority. In my home, I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and in a calm, clean environment. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to behavior changes. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions exactly as given. I stick to the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also provide updates so owners feel reassured and connected.
“Mariana is great with dogs and all animals , she loves them and take care of them like they are her own. She stayed at our home for 4 days and took care of our animals, my dogs love her , I have a Yorkie and a big dog (mix ) so she’s great with both sizes and personalities. I recommend her !! Definitely will book her again.”
“Carol provided my senior dog with love and affection. Engaging Carol's services was simple; Carol and I met face-to-face and introduced Violet. Carol was meticulous in explaining the program and we got along great. I wholeheartedly recommend her service!”
“Catalina was a wonderful sitter and my baby did great with her! They had snuggle time and she fed her on time too ! It was a great experience and she will definitely be the one I will call often !”
About: I am an optometry student at NSU. I am away from home so having a pet to walk and be around will help with being away from home. I have a family dog I had to leave at home :(( In high school I would walk dogs after school and in college I would dog and cat sit all the time. I am not scared of big or little dogs. My sister had a cat growing up so I also love cats. I go to school from 8a-5p Monday through Friday. So I can be with pets before 8a and after 5p. But I am free all weekend! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I also make sure they get appropriate exercise and that their environment stays clean and secure. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep the owner updated on how their pet is doing.
About: I’ll do everything I can to make sure that your pet feels comfortable and safe. I treat every animal I care for like they’re a part of my family, and I’ll spend quality time with your pet learning their unique personality, their needs, likes and dislikes. I am equipped to care for senior dogs, dogs that need to be administered medication, and dogs with medical conditions. With over 20 years of experience and passion for caring for dogs, please rest assured that your pets will be safe with me. If you’d like, I’m always available throughout the day to send you pictures and updates of your pet while you’re away. I am home and available all throughout the day, so I’m ready to fulfill all of your pet’s needs in the timing that suits your pet best. We will have ample time throughout the day to go outside for walks. During your pet’s stay with me, their unique routine and care schedule is my top priority. I care for pets in my home and my client’s home in an attentive and considerate way. I am committed to creating an environment where the dog’s nervous system can relax and feel safe. Because dogs thrive on routine, I strive to provide as close as a schedule as possible to the one that the dog is used to at their home.
“Karla did a wonderful job, she followed instructions, and she was very neat, she sent us detailed reports while we were out every time she came. I am happy to have found her. I will absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.”

Melissa is a sweetheart 💕! She's so good with my pets! My dogs loved her and even my shy kitten warmed up to her. 😸 She was always updating me with videos and reports about how my fur babies were doing every step of the way. She left my home nice and tidy. Melissa is awesome!
First time using Rover and could not have made a better choice by finding Rosa. She was beyond wonderful, felt very comfortable having Rosa stay in our home and care for our dogs. Came home to a clean home and happy pups, they miss her already. Highly recommend and will be booking again for all future travels! A+++

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pine Island Ridge walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pine Island Ridge maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Pine Island Ridge 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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
