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.

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 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.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have been caring for them for over 15 years, including dogs, cats, and horses. I recently lost my beloved dog, Diesel, who was a huge part of my life. While I’m not quite ready to open my heart to another pet of my own yet, I have so much love and care to give to yours. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’ve always given my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. I’m also happy to stay in your home so they can remain in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I can keep them company while I work and maintain their normal routine with walks, meals, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love and attention. I believe most pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home, surrounded by their familiar smells, routines, and favorite spots. Since I work from home, I’m able to stay with them and give them plenty of companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely and treat your pets and your home with the same love, care, and respect I would my own.

She did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring throughout the entire time. She kept a close eye on my pup, made sure all of his needs were met, and treated him with so much kindness and affection. She was also very punctual, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!

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. I work from home so I am always around during the day and can accommodate as many potty and zoomie breaks as needed! I have a very flexible schedule so I can work around your schedule needs. 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!

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: We had a yorkiepoo for 15 1/2 years. I don't want one of my own right now, can't go thru that loss again, it was awful. I also have two daughters, family and friends in Ohio, we travel a lot and don’t want to be tied down with a dog of our own. I get my “fix” by watching others dogs. Due to a family member allergies, I can not board a dog at my home that sheds. We moved here from Ohio in 2021. I am not working and would love to take care, play or walk your fur baby or babies. We live in a sub division with sidewalks and walking trails for your dog. Small yard but no fence. Your dog will get lots of love.

About: With years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide a level of care that’s both professional and genuinely loving. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors requiring special attention.I prioritize understanding each pet’s unique personality, routines, and comfort levels, creating a familiar, stress-free environment. With a commitment to reliable, quality service, I’m more than just a pet sitter—I’m someone your pet can count on, whether it’s for daily care, exercise, or that little extra attention they need to feel at ease while you’re away. As someone with a part-time job and a flexible work schedule, I’m able to adapt my schedule to accommodate walks, feeding times, and interactive play, making sure that your pet feels loved and engaged. Whether it’s a midday visit or evening cuddles, I prioritize creating a consistent and nurturing environment that fits both your pet’s routine and my personal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience tailored to each pet’s needs. By discussing the pet’s daily routine, dietary preferences, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner may have. This ensures I can deliver consistent care that aligns with their usual habits. During my visits, I ensure that pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, which helps keep them relaxed and happy. I am attentive to their behavior, watching for any signs of stress or discomfort, and I address their needs promptly. Additionally, I maintain the home’s cleanliness by following house rules and tidying up after the pets. By providing care in their familiar surroundings, I help pets feel secure while their owners are away, allowing them to maintain their routines and feel loved until they return.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,236 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
  • 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 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.
