“Francesca did an exceptional job with our two huskies during her recent drop-in visits! From the moment we met her, it was clear she had a genuine love for dogs. She was punctual, professional, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Our huskies took to her immediately, and we could tell they were well cared for and happy. Francesca went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring they had plenty of playtime in the backyard. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her services!”

About: I’ve grown up around different breeds of dogs and cats. I truly have a love for animals which make the best person to babysit your babies. I specialize in socializing young pups to just comforting pups with separation anxiety. Gone all day and need someone to check on your baby? I’m there! Your baby needs a walk while you’re at work? You can count on me! With working part time, this gives me more flexibility to help you when needed! Mornings, afternoons, and weekends I can help! Walks, quick visits, boarding, etc. I have a home with plenty of space and a huge fenced in back yard! I also live near dog parks if your baby needs to go and stretch its legs!
“Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.”
“Cheryl was fantastic with my babies. Everything went smooth. She is caring and trustworthy. Follwed instructions to the T as I have 2 senior dogs that needed special attention. Thanks so much Cheryl. I will re-book again. Highly reccommended.”
About: I grew up with a Lab Mix as well as a stafford bull terrier so i’m well equipped for dogs with personality ;) I’ve also had a pit bull so i have no bias against them whatsoever and i truly do love dogs with my whole heart. I’m currently a senior at Riverview high school but i’m let out early so i’m available any day of the week you need before or after the times of 10-2. All my dogs have been rescues so i make it a priority to build trust with the animal and establish authority, I can crate your animals if you need and i’m a big fan of positive reinforcement .
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.
“Samantha was a great dog sitter! Always made sure to communicate any questions or concerns. She took lots of photos and kept us updated on our dog Nyla. Highly recommend and will book again in the future! :)”
“I can’t be more grateful to Nattalie for her care. She was absolutely amazing in every single way and gave me ease will traveling. My dog was happy and loved her. I will definitely keep using her services A+”
About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve regularly cared for my family’s dogs, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and playtime. My parents’ outdoor dogs get so excited to see me, they race just to greet me! I can take care of your beloved pet Monday through Friday, from 11AM-7PM. I can provide multiple walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Feel free to contact me to discuss care schedules! Your pet’s safety comes first. I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medication, walks, and your pet’s routine. During walks, I use the equipment and walking routine you provide while keeping a close eye on your pet and their surroundings. I never introduce your pet to unfamiliar animals without your approval. I respect your home and follow your instructions regarding doors, gates, crates, and other safety precautions. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverview
Dana provided absolute top tier service and made the entire process completely seamless! From start to finish, Dana was attentive, highly professional, and exceptionally helpful. Communication was clear and prompt, and every detail was handled with care and genuine dedication. It is rare to find someone who consistently goes above and beyond to deliver such a smooth, stress-free experience. If you are looking for someone reliable, skilled, and wonderful to work with, I cannot recommend Dana highly enough!
Matthew was fantastic! He stopped by and took care of our dogs while we were were out of town for a day. He let them out, fed them, and made sure they were happy. He sent great photos and kept us updated the whole time. Super reliable and easy to work with, we’d recommend!
We CANNOT say enough good things about Maya!! Maya took great care of our pups + did me a huge favor and took out dinner from our freezer when I had forgot! 😂 We absolutely LOVE how many extra pictures she sends, and how she plays fetch with both our pups every time she comes over!! We will be recommending Maya to our friends & will be/already have booked her again!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Riverview choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
