About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for pets of different personalities, ages, and needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks, and I’m happy to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also a big believer in communication, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they need. 🐾❤️ My schedule varies, but I have flexibility throughout the week and can work with your pet’s routine. I’m available for daytime walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that gives your pet the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet in a safe, comfortable environment. I understand every pet has different routines and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and other care instructions. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Stephany has been coming over for walks with my senior pup for a few weeks now. A couple of the requests were short-notice and she was still able to help. She’s very responsive, gives great reports on how the visit went and always includes lots of pics. Her love for animals is so apparent! Thank you Stephany!!”

“Tayler did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby Denali. They're very knowledgeable on pet care, followed my instructions, and went the extra mile. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe, love on them and will be their fill in mommy/daddy until you return. ;) I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility as this is my only job at the moment. I am off during the summers so I enjoy working with animals. During the school year I’m a school counselor. I have flexibility with the job as I’m able to leave for a lunch break/check on your pup. Also, my counselor hours are 8:15-3:30. I am in early and off early to be able to check on your animals. *** I will be in town for the holidays :) I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them if it helps them feel more comfortable. That is not a requirement though. I prefer going to your home only because the animals tend to do better in their own house.
“Daelia took such good care of my baby! She was communicative, followed instructions, and sent photos. She even took care of her in the days following her spay surgery. Thank you again!”

About: Growing up will all kinds of pets taught me early on just how much I truly loved animals. I have experience not only from caring for my own pets in the past but also pet sitting for friends and family over the years. I understand how worrisome it is leaving your furry best friends behind when needing to travel and ensure you I will provide nothing but the best care and update you every step of the way. If you are a previous client and see my calendar shows as unavailable please feel free to message me - as sometimes I do block off dates of tentative plans and may in fact be available! I work remote from home M-F. Generally speaking my schedule is extremely flexible. I am home all day other than going to the occasional appointment or gym for about 1-2hrs. Weekends don’t have a schedule however I obviously will be around as needed when scheduled to care for you pets. I tend to think of animals more highly than people. I ensure their safety in any way possible from basic common sense to special requests from owners.
“Jewell was absolutely amazing with my dogs! 🐾 She cared for them like they were her own and kept me updated the whole time. My pups were happy, calm, and clearly adored her. I highly recommend Jewell to anyone looking for a loving, reliable pet sitter!”

About: I've had pets in my home as long as can remember, I love animals. I love going on walks, playing ball or tug of war, or just a belly rub and snuggle. I treat every pet as if it were my own and enjoy figuring out what makes them tick. Your pet's peace of mind and happiness are always a priority. I would gladly provide updates and photos while you are away, rest assured they are in good hands. I am currently working and enjoy a somewhat flexible schedule. I know that we can find a schedule that works for all of us. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet. I am an empty nester with a longtime boyfriend; we have been in Florida for almost 4 years and have recently settled in Sarasota. I have enjoyed getting to know different parts of the state and look forward to more exploring.
About: I am so excited to.meet your fur baby already, I miss having a pet terribly! Rover seems like the perfect fit. I've been a pet owner since I was 4 and had many animals at one point or abother: cats, rats, mice, horse, lizards, snake, guinea pig, fish from scales to fluff I love them all. I teach English online so I work from home, I would be available to your pet almost constantly. Feeding schedule can easily be followed and walking/ playtime will be regular occurances. Your fur baby is my priority, I'm there for them. I have a high respect for other peoples homes, it will be as clean or cleaner when you arrive back home. I don't smoke and live a quiet life.

About: I’ve cared for dogs consistently for neighbors since I was growing up, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. Last summer, I also worked at Groomerie as a dog bather, where I learned how to safely handle dogs, read body language, keep pets calm, and make sure they felt comfortable during care. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every dog has different needs—whether that means extra energy on walks, gentle care for nervous pups, or a calm approach with older dogs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like family. Pet care fits well into my routine this semester. I am a college student taking a full load of classes but I would love to walk or spend time with your pets in my free time. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules they have in place. I know consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior, keep a clean and safe environment, and always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food areas are secure. During walks, I stay alert to surroundings and make safety my main focus. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Kim is awesome! she is dependable and flexible. My pups can't be a bit stubborn and she is still able to get them out for their 1/2 hour walk. She has been a life saver for me during my recovery from foot surgery. Thanks Kim!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life growing and have learned the right way to take care of them. Your pet will be in good hands. I am available full time. I was currently let go by my construction job because I am going into the police academy in July for Sarasota sheriff. I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood to dog walk. I live by the legacy trail. Perfect for long walks with a dog.

By far, Penelope’s favorite! Kim was very sweet and communicative, sent me pictures the entire time. It is clear that she really values what she does and goes the extra mile to make sure the pup is happy and the owner has peace of mind. I will continue to book Kim every chance I get!

Jewels was wonderful. She did a meet and greet prior to the actual dog walking appointment. That really impressed me. She also faced numerous challenges with my condo complex and access. But she overcame them with no problems. She also kept me informed about everything with my dog. Cant say enough good about her. I highly recommend Jewel.

She was absolutely amazing with my girl! She went on a nice walk, played with her, and showed so much patience—especially in the beginning when my pup was scared and nervous. She was super professional, kind, and truly caring. I would trust her with any dog. Highly recommend Camilia!

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 .

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.
