About: I've taken care of a variety of different breeds, I am very active with the dogs. I have 3 years dogs training experience. If you struggle with a fussy high energy dog, or just want your pet to follow basic commands, I'm the sitter/ walker for you! I'm available full time 24/7. I do not require much notice. I'm very flexible with different schedules. I try my best to accommodate dog parents and dog needs. I live on a large 2 acre farm with my husky plenty of room for running. I also take the dogs (with permission) to a large near by open space dog park.
“Jada was incredibly professional and kind from the beginning. She took fantastic care of Coco and Tonks and we will most definitely be using her any time we need a walker/sitter. Highly recommend and trust with our fur babies!!”

About: I love animals ever since I was young age, especially how difference their personalities are! They have their own needs and wants which something I’m willing to learn no matter the size. Just give me the routine and I’ll follow it with no problems, they’ll be loved and cared for while you’re away! I volunteered in one rescue back in my hometown while growing up so preparing special food, walking/exercising, giving treats (especially to the good boys/girls!) are on my list! I also have basic grooming experience so brushing, basic teeth cleaning, cutting nails, cleaning face are on my list of experiences! I’m also not afraid to get down dirty when needing to bath a dirty dog! I currently work from home and I want to go out of the house and do something productive! What’s more than doing it with fluffy animals! I’m able to go outside more without needing to spend money so I thought might as well combine my love animals and going outside. It’s a win-win since I can take care of your babies while you’re busy and I can be outside of my house!! I currently live in a gated community, we have our own little dog park within the community. I also live in a 3 story apartment so if your cats end staying for the night they’ll have penalty if not more space to have their night zoomies!

About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from young adult to senior age. I rescued a feral kitty with major injuries, worked with Tampa Bay Humane Society to take care of her health concerns, and officially adopted her in 2024. I have experience with caring for pets with seizures, needing diaper changes, having specific dietary needs, and more. I’m available any time, currently I have a lot of free time so I’m able to give your pets the attention they need even on short notice. I have a cat in one hole and multiple dogs in another and I give them whatever they need to be happy with me, in my clients home I do exactly as is needed
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs and cats, and I always tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I’m attentive, patient, and calm under pressure—whether that means helping with basic training, administering medications, or providing extra comfort for anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like family, with plenty of love, consistency, and understanding. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I’m currently a student and a proud member of my school’s weightlifting team! My schedule is flexible in the afternoons and evenings, allowing me to care for pets between 4:00 and 9:00 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends, I’m completely free and can dedicate extra time to walks, playtime, and cuddles. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure by following their usual routines and respecting their individual needs. In my care, pets are always supervised, kept in clean and safe environments, and given plenty of love and attention. I’m careful to follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s well-being always comes first.

I go above and beyond to provide exceptional care, giving you confidence and peace of mind while you’re away. As a work-from-home professional, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. Being home allows me to provide constant attention, timely feedings, and regular playtime for pets. My flexible schedule ensures I can cater to each pet’s needs throughout the day, offering a comforting and engaging environment. This setup allows me to be highly responsive and attentive, ensuring pets receive the best care possible. We will go on walks in the morning, lunch, and evenings (being mindful of the heat on their feet’s!) In my home, I provide a safe and cozy environment for pets, with a consistent routine for feeding, playtime, and exercise. I offer personalized attention and keep everything clean and hazard-free. I’m also prepared for emergencies to ensure your pet’s well-being at all times.
About: I've pet and house sat for cats and dogs of many breeds and sizes. Mostly for family and friends and I treat them like the beloved family members they are! Many times they have multiple dogs and or cats which is fine by me, love them all. I have been the lucky pet mama of many dogs, a few cats, birds, guinea pig and hamsters. They all were very dear to me and my family. Right now I'm retired and unfortunately my sweet old beagle-mix girl Leela, past away this past fall. I miss her dearly and the routine of walking her in her stroller because in her last year she lost mobility in her hind legs. I know I will eventually adopt another, but right now just enjoying her sweet memories 😊 ♥️ A typical day would start with outside time to do their business and get some exercise, followed by their breakfast and meds/ supplements if so needed. Then we relax a bit until afternoon walking, weather permitting, and playtime. Then relax until dinner and another walk/some playtime before retiring for the night. This of course varies with the pet's routines and needs each day. This is basically what we did with our dogs, and the cats were indoor/outdoor.
About: I've taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a kid, I grew up on a horse farm in north carolina and when I moved here I worked in a grooming salon, just bathing. I'm always free on weekends, I am available after 6 during the week, I do work full-time but im open to working with you on the type of assistance you need :) I have a fenced in yard and two little dogs to keep your lil baby entertained, I can keep my pets separate if necessary as well

About: I’ve grown up around pets and I have always loved animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, bearded dragons, you name it. I have house sat on more than one occasion, along with dog sitting for as long as a week and a half (in owners home). I also have experience administering medication for dogs. Pets are the best, and I love them like my own! I am available anytime to take care of your pets. I love the flexibility and knowing that I can give my whole attention to your special ones. When caring for a dog in your home, I would follow any rules you may have in place and instructions for the well being of your pet(s). Take them out back to play, and keep a close eye on and around the surrounding environment
“I am very pleased with Nelson and Donna ,they have always cleaned up the mess my little puppy created I am very grateful for that, I will continue booking them whenever needed, Nelson and Donna Thank you very much”

About: I love being given the opportunity to meet each and every pet individually and to develop a relationship, is priceless. We should provide the same love they give to us. We are their voices. It is easy to have fun and do activities with our fur friends. I also like to take into consideration their personalities, habits, and likes. I am here to service them. Our fur friends are just like us, they only speak a different language. Therefore its an easy, loving job to do. As a young child I recall bringing strays home and almost being put out with them, hoping maybe one day I would be able to keep one of them. I never had the heart to put them back in the streets so, I tools them to Intake shelters. It all comes natural to me. Walks, Runs and Playing Catch Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I already plan my day around responsibilities and schedules, so adding feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins feels very manageable. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need without feeling rushed. Throughout the week, I stay organized and communicate with owners regularly, sending updates and making sure their pets are comfortable and happy. Spending time with animals is something I look forward to, so it feels like a rewarding part of my routine rather than just another task. If pets stay in my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment, keep hazardous items out of reach, supervise interactions, and follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cared for my grandma’s pets, making sure they’re happy, fed, and loved. I treat every dog like family always. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give pups attention, playtime, and care. Boarding works best for me on weekends after 2pm, but I’m happy to help on weekdays if needed — we can always work something out. For dog walking, I’m available most weekdays and flexible with scheduling to fit your pet’s routine. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space and grass for safe outdoor play. I can provide cat food, but I’ll need owners to bring any dog food and a crate if their pup uses one. I’m happy to help with basic dog grooming like brushing and bathing — I just don’t trim nails. Your pet will always be cared for and comfortable while they’re with me!

I am a retired dog and cat groomer as of recent. I am very flexible with my schedule at this time. I am sure I can accommodate. While I don't currently care for any animals but my own, I would leave it up to the owner what they prefer and deem safe.

“Pua loves Kelly and warmed up to her quickly, which is rare since she is a rescue and still very timid towards people. Would recommend her to take care of your dogs, even those needing special care and patience like Pua.”

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
