“Thank you very much! My cat has a hard time meeting new people but warmed up quickly to Kate. She made sure his food bowls were full and had fresh water. It's was a great piece of mind knowing Kate was caring for my cat. Kate was also flexible and considerate of the time needed.”

About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.

“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and. are and have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and a little more care with their routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship and a comfortable environment. I don’t have experience caring for cats but I have been around cats! I currently work M-F 8-5. I would be able to drop in before and after that and anytime on the weekends. Whether that is walking or checking on the pets. I am attentive to pets in their own homes and respectful of others belongings. I do not offer to care for pets in my home.

About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!

About: I grew up around dogs (English Setters) and have lived with cats for the last 4 years. I have experience raising both types of pets from 8 weeks or younger through old age. I am happy to help taking care of younger pets as well as older pets both of which may need a lil extra TLC at times. Pets of all types and temperaments are deserving of the best care possible. I’m currently enrolled in a masters program at USF. I am usually some type of pharmaceutical scientist but was let go because of a company rework. I’m taking this time to enjoy life’s small things and get my puppy/cat fix! I have taken care of pets in different environments, from those with a fenced in yard, to apartment pets. I know consistency and communication are key for pet sitting and am happy to keep as close as possible to a pets expected routine and send as many photos and updates as makes you comfortable!

About: Hi, Im a Hillsborough County local and life long animal lover-dogs, cats and everything in between, big or small! Im a mom of two grown kids, which means my nest is empty and my schedule is wide open. No rigid 9-5 , no little ones to rush home to- just me, ready to give your pet the same love and attention I'd give my own. I've done many long house sits, moving right into your home to keep your pets routine steady while your're away, as well as wuick drop-in play dates for pets who just need a midday check-in, potty break, or cuddle session. Whether its a week-long trip or a same-day request, im almost always available and happy to work around your schedule. I treat every home and pet with care and respect-your pet gets consistency, company, and someone who genuinely enjoys being there. Reach out and lets set up a meet and greet! As an empty nester with a remote work schedule, i have flexibility most people don’t — extra time and a quiet house that make it easy to build pet sitting into my day without disrupting my job. Visits fit naturally around my existing routine, whether that’s a mid-morning break for snuggles between calls or an early evening walk. And since I’m home most hours anyway, pet sitting doesn’t feel like an added task — it becomes a welcome source of companionship and structure in a day that might otherwise feel a little too quiet. You can trust that your home and pets are in steady, capable hands — every visit happens on schedule, every task on your list gets done, and nothing falls through the cracks. Years of caring for animals of all kinds have taught me to read their individual needs, spot anything out of the ordinary, and act quickly if something seems off. I treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own — doors locked, mail collected, and everything left exactly as I found it, so you can travel with real peace of mind.

About: I am new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. I know that pets are more like family than pets and I treat them that way! I love to be trusted to care for your beloved pet! If you want your pet to have a loving and fun experience, I am your gal! I am very flexible and my schedule is open. I am a stay at home mom and property manager. I do have errands and school pick up but mostly work from home. I am off on most weekends and holidays. I walk pets twice a day, feed twice a day, and have them go out to potty 2-3 times, unless told otherwise! We are a very easy going, pet loving family! I have a large fenced in yard and a small dog that would love to have some fur friends to play with. I also have older children that will be helping with giving walks and love.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated dog mom, I know that every pet deserves attention, care, and compassion—even when their owners have busy schedules. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, a potty break, or your cat needs a check-in while you're away, I'm here to help. I provide reliable dog walking and drop-in visits tailored to your pet's individual needs. During visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise when needed, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll always communicate clearly and send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy and safe. What sets me apart is my dependability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic walk, your senior pet prefers a slower pace, or your cat simply needs companionship and care while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the attention they deserve. While most of my experience has been with dogs, I also enjoy caring for cats and am happy to provide drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and companionship based on your cat's comfort level and routine. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet parents while creating a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for every pet in my care. I'm currently unemployed and planning my wedding in early October! I have plenty of time and my schedule is very flexible to take care of your furry family members. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I'll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if applicable), playtime, and any special preferences or needs your pet may have. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect in my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, make sure your pet has fresh water and plenty of attention, and ensure doors, gates, and other safety measures are secure before leaving. Communication is very important to me, so you'll receive updates and photos during each visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable care and peace of mind for both you and your pet.

About: Hi there! I’m new to the Rover App but not new to caring for fur babies. The past 4 years I’ve had experience dog sitting for my older sister, who has a four year old Lab mix named Harper. I’ve watched Harper for weekends at a time feeding, walking, playing with her when my sister is out of town. I’ve also had the privilege of dog sitting for neighbors, dropping in their home while they are away and letting their fur babies out and feeding them. I currently live with a roommate who has a cat that I care for when need be as well. I love animals, and though I don’t have any of my own. I’ll take care of yours as if it was. Right now I’m only available for dog walking and drop-ins in your home. Not accepting over night sitting in my home at the moment. Book with me and have peace of mind your fur baby is cared for and loved while you’re away. I work full time throughout the week from Sundays-Thursdays. I usually work from 1pm-9pm or 3pm-11pm Though out the week. I’m free both Fridays and Saturdays anytime! I make sure the pets are getting the proper respect and care they need. I’m also well organized so I won’t miss any deadlines if the pet needs to take their medications or even a vet appointment if need be. I’ll make sure they get their food/water and that they use the bathroom on time as well. I also like to play with the pets to keep them engaged and have them not feeling too bored as well.

About: What sets us apart is that we’re a dedicated pet-loving couple, which means your pet gets double the attention, supervision, and affection. We truly treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. We’re attentive to each pet’s personality and routine — whether that means energetic walks and playtime, or calm companionship for more relaxed or senior pets. We’re also patient with shy animals and happy to follow detailed care instructions, feeding schedules, and medication needs. Pet care fits easily into our routine since we both work from home and are available throughout the day to provide attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. After we finish work around 5 PM, we have plenty of time in the evenings for longer walks, playtime, and check-ins. We occasionally go to the gym during the week, but we always plan our schedules to make sure the pets in our care receive consistent attention and reliable care. We focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, we make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and have a clean and safe environment. We’re also happy to give medication, refresh water, and keep litter boxes clean if needed.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 .

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 .

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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
