“Jennifer is amazing! Our babies were very happy, she loved them up for us while we were gone & took great care of them. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing someone & will surely wish to have her take care of our babies again. To note, this was very last minute as our plans changed & she provided us comfort before & during our absence knowing they were being loved up & well taken care of. Thanks Jennifer”
About: I have experience taking care of care of the smallest, and most ferocious chihuahuas to the largest of lovable breeds like the purebred German shepherd. I know they all have their own unique personalities and such and that’s why it’s important for me to let them warm up to me at their own pace. I have just started to look for more work as a “professional” pet sitter, along with house sitting. I am still in the process of expanding my little side business! Honestly I try to spend as much time with them as possible, or for cats let them come to me. For me it’s about being patient with their wants such as walking or play time, and always making sure they are healthy and well fed.
“Exceptional care given to my cats & exceptional communication during each visit. Dana always provides a written summary of each visit with photos. We were in contact every day I was away from home. I am very impressed with Dana & Rover. I will be recommending Rover to my friends!”
“I love Erica. She was a breath of fresh air when we met her. Very kind and you can tell she loves animals. Very thankful for her help. It's nice to be able to trust someone will take care of your fur babies while you are away. Thank you so much 💓”
“Amanda was a great sitter, at first i was a little worry about my cat since i haven't left him alone for so long and he was just used to only see me so i did not know what reaction expect from him, but i book amanda 2 days before i left for a trip so they both can meet each other and have some familiarity and it work perfectly i left for 15 days and she was very attentive with jett making sure he feel secure with her, she also send me videos and pictures of him playing and on the balcony (he loves taking fresh air) everyday and she always let me know what was going on with him, like if he's eating , drinking water or going as usual to the litter box. the best part of it all was that he had a great time with amanda and when i came back from my trip, was that i find him as if i never left. I could tell he have a lots of fun with amanda playing because thats all he wanted me to do with him when i arrive back home.... Thank you so much amanda for helping me sitting my cat Jett. I would recommend amanda with my eyes close ♥”
About: I’ve been a pet owner and pet sitter for about 20 years, and taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life. My family and friends have always called me for their pet-sitting needs and questions, so I’ve pretty much been the go-to pet person forever! 😂🐶 I absolutely love animals, and animals seem to love me right back! 🥰 I have a dog of my own, and I’m currently home most of the time since I’m not working right now. I already help take care of a couple of pets here in our community, and I’d love to help more of my neighbors! I can come to your home to walk your dog, let them out, feed them, give them attention, or take care/stay with them while you’re working, traveling, or just away for the day. If you need someone you can trust to love on your pets while you’re away, I’m your girl🤗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I have a dog of my own and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I currently have an open/flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs throughout the day. My availability allows me to be dependable and attentive, while providing pets with the consistent care, companionship, and attention they need. If your pets are staying with me, they’ll have access to the dog park located right outside my apartment, where we can get plenty of exercise and playtime! I also have lots of dog-friendly toys and treats to keep them happy and entertained. 🐾 My dog, Honey, is very active and loving while also being calm and laid-back. She gets along wonderfully with other animals, so your pets will have a friendly companion during their stay. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. I’ll follow their normal routines as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and love while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,244 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Placida. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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 .
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.
