About: I will love and cherish your pet because they deserve the world. 13 years of my life I’ve had always taken care of my own, friends and family pets. I have always been the one person to be relied on to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I love dogs/ pets in general, I have so much love to give because they have hearts too. I communicate with my clients about my work schedule and it’s pretty easy. I know there’s some pets that have schedules and I’d talk to my manager about it and get the day/days off :)) Each pet has their own bowl. I walk all of my dogs at the same time if fenced and I sit outside and watch to make sure they use the bathroom properly. I give them treats whenever but most importantly when they’re behaving good or if I’m training them a trick. I’m always with my dogs when I have to. I give my dogs water frequently since they stay outside for about 20-30 minutes just so they can have time to use the bathroom and play. I brush them 2-3 times a week, I feed my dogs 2-3 times a day and walk them around 4-5 times a day.

About: Hello and welcome to my Rover bio. My name is Sandra and I have 20+ experience with pet care. I used to have 5 dogs of my own at one point in my life. I've fostered several dogs in my home before, but now I have no dogs and am not quite ready to have another after the passing of my last dog Gatsby. However, i love animals. I have "grandpup" named Jax who I love and take care of at times. At this time, I am not working full time as a babysitter/nanny, so I am on this site in search of helping out other pet owners who are finding someone to trust with their fur kids. I am known around my neighborhood to be the animal lover. I will listen to your pet care instructions and follow through. Love sending you updates and pictures to keep you posted and guilt free! I am currently unemployed and have a lot of time in my hands at this time. I do not have places to be and if i leave, it's mostly for groceries or something quick. I have a fenced yard that is very spacious. Live in gated neighborhood that also has dog poop bags to keep neighborhood clean and nice.
About: My dad is a veterinarian, which means I've been learning how to care for animals for as long as I can possibly remember. He passed his love of them onto me, as well as all of the knowledge I need to always keep my pets (and yours!) safe. I'm currently working part-time, which means I can be super flexible when it comes to helping you take care of your pets. Whether you're in need of a mid-day dog walker or a sitter for longer trips, I'm available to make sure your pets are getting the attention they need. For overnight stays, the more details you can give me about your pet's needs, routines, and activities, the better! My goal is to make them (and you!) feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.
“Tonya did so great with our dogs. She did drop in visits for us and it was perfect. She was reliable, communicative and made sure the pups had plenty of time to get some energy out. We came home to relaxed and well taken care of doggos. Definitely will use again and would recommend.”
“It was our first time using a pet sitter and Donna really put us at ease! We appreciated her professionalism, her friendliness and how she loved on our kitties. She was great with communication and sending pictures. We will definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her to all pet parents.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats professionally for almost 3 years, neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets, but personally I've lived with them and loved them for all my life. I grew up with dogs and cats and I feel they're just family. They deserve as much or even more love than us. It fits as one of my daily routines, walking them for 30 minutes to 1 hour, either in the mornings or in the night. Also having a remote job allows me to spend all day with them. My home is a fun pet space, I have set up a space for my pets where they have toys, food and plenty of room to have fun or rest. My cat is very friendly and he is used to dogs, if a dog is not too friendly to him, he'll stay on the second floor while their stay.

I grew up with cats and dogs, regularly watch my friends Bernadoodle, and would love to be a sitter for your pet! I’m currently not working, as I am starting Graduate school in a few weeks and have plenty of free time! I am very flexible for drop ins and walks! I give the dog plenty of love and attention, make sure that they get some play time in, and make sure to take them out regularly. I am experienced with dogs as I watch my friends dog regularly and also grew up around dogs and cats. I’ll make sure to lock everything up and follow the pet owners requests as each dog has different routines and needs!
“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!”
“We had such a great experience with Emily! Not only did she take wonderful care of our cats, keeping them happy, fed, and cared for, but she also went above and beyond by putting out our trash can, bringing in packages, and helping to troubleshoot issues with our litter robots. We loved seeing the cute photo and video updates of our cats. We really appreciate her care, reliability and flexibility. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home grandma with a soft spot for furry friends and a lifetime of dog experience. I’ve always had pups in my home, and I treat every dog like one of my own—lots of love, belly rubs, and cozy spots to nap. I’m home all day, so your pet will get constant attention and care (plus plenty of photo updates!). Whether they’re playful or laid-back, they’ll feel right at home with me :) I’m currently home everyday with the occasional hour or two when I’m picking up my grandkids from school. Your pups will have plenty of care and attention with me being available at all times to let them out for potty breaks in our fenced in backyard or for pleasant walks around the neighborhood! I do have one small dog that is very mellow and keeps to himself. He's a bit older so he spends most of his time just relaxing in his crate (loves being in there!) or just roaming around the backyard but he's a total sweetheart with other pups

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I’ve cared for Great Danes, Labs, mixed breeds, and cats, so I’m comfortable with different sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. I’ve also volunteered at local shelters, where I provided loving care, cleaned cages, and supported daily routines. I’m experienced with basic puppy care, patient with senior pets, and attentive to cleanliness, including litter box maintenance and general hygiene. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. While I’m in pharmacy school, work part-time, and serve in the Army National Guard, I have a flexible schedule with availability during evenings and weekends. I’m not in class all day, which allows me to plan dedicated time for pet visits, walks, and care. I’m reliable and organized, so I make sure every pet gets the attention they need. You can trust that I’ll work around my schedule to provide consistent, loving care for your pet. I provide care in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I offer services like walks around the neighborhood, feeding, playtime, and making sure they stay on their normal routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and will follow any specific instructions you provide. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home or transport pets in my car, but I’m happy to provide reliable, loving care during drop-in visits and walks.

Nalisha provided excellent service to my two pups while I was away. Communication was top notch and my pups really enjoyed her. I need to add on an additional visit at the last minute and she was able to accommodate me. Thanks Nalisha for all of your help.
Gabriela was awesome! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures and messages the whole time. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Ruskin is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,130 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Ruskin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Ruskin 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. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ruskin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
