About: I've always had a dog ever since I was born. I've had a Pit bull, Dachshund, Golden Retriever, as well as a Great Dane. My family and neighbors would always have me take care of their pets while they went away. I'm currently working part-time and playing softball in the evenings 2 days a week. I'm available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8am - 9pm. In my home I have a Great Dane and a cat. I make sure they have everything they may need before I go to work and they are cared and loved for. making sure they get extra snuggles play time and fun treats.
“Thank you, thank you thank you for everything and taking such wonderful care of Bean and Dani!!! And thank you so much for your flexibility with the changing schedule!!!”
About: I am very familiar with many types of animals. From cats, dogs and hamster to small birds, small reptiles and fish. I am a current cat mom to three little fur babies. Feel free to message me with any questions! 💜 I’m a part time employee and mom so I am very flexible and adaptable to most peoples needs. I do not work on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays though to ensure proper quality time with my family. I currently have one female Mainecoon and two male Manx cats. They are my little babies and they are definitely well beyond spoiled! We use pine pellets to ensure no clay dust particles infiltrate their airways and keep their water fresh with a running fountain. They get nothing but love and snuggles the other 50% of the time when they’re not enjoying their sun naps in the windows.
“Ken did a great job with our Rottweiler Sofia. We were gone for several days. He did well encouraging her to eat. He was on time for the drop in visits, provided a picture of a happy girl, and gave helpful feedback. Ken is kind and gentle.”

About: I will take your dog or dogs on long walks and let them explore their environment. I am available after 3 and depending on where you are, I can do mornings as well. I will not leave any mess behind for your neighbors to see. I will make sure your dog gets good exercise on each and every walk. I do not mind dogs that love to explore everything around them and want to see and smell everything they come across. I can walk multiple dogs at a time if you have more than one dog. i will try and make your dogs walk a good experience and a walk that stimulates them and hopefully, along the way, they are able to relieve themselves while we are outside!
About: I have had rescues dogs and cats all my life. I have administered medicine, cared for both puppies and senior dogs. I understand the importance of establishing trust with them.

Just let me know your care preference - walking, play time or just loving on your fur baby! I currently have a rescue that needs special care... he is diabetic and is not fond of hot afternoons so his schedule is tailored to both the weather and his needs!

“Maureen did a wonderful job taking care of our cat G while we were away. She sent pictures each day and was very specific about how she was doing. I felt very at ease knowing she was well cared for! I will definitely be using her again when we travel.”
“As you know, it's so stressful trying to find someone who will care for your pets like you do, but Shari was absolutely fantastic for us! I've never seen our two cats act so well adjusted coming back from time away like they have with Shari taking care of them- We knew we were in perfect hands when we met her- She really cares about pets and their well-being. --Great communication, professionalism, and showed great care! We couldn't recommend her more! Thx Shari-”
About: I have had both cats and dogs My entire life. After 16 AMAZING years with my dogs Axel and Lugnut, I have found myself with an empty nest. I'm not quite ready to adopt another yet, it is just too soon. However, I would love to hang out with your dog (or dogs!). I have experience with dogs both big and small, young and old, and my sweet girl who just passed was deaf, so I have experience with special needs. I have successfully fostered high risk dogs helping them find their perfect forever home. 🐾 I am a stay at home caretaker for my father-in-law, so I can provide around the clock care for your sweet puppers. I am also quite active, and love to take walks, so your good boy or girl will think they are on vacation! I have an unfenced yard, and I live within a 3 minute walk to a large park. My neighborhood is quiet and is sheltered from busy streets. I would love to have your dog come visit!
About: I love pets and just moved to the area with my family! We currently have none of our own so would be happy to help you spoil yours. My two year old has been around furry friends her whole life. We live on Gasparilla Island now so any pets on the island will be easy to let out as often as needed. Pets off the island that are not boarding with us can be let out every 4-6 hours. Although we do not have a fenced yard we will take your pet out for a walk multiple times a day! We have no pets and will only watch one families pets at a time if boarding. If walking we will take them out as often as the heat allows! Happy to take the dog to a park if off island.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,251 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Placida. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Placida 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 Placida. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
