About: I’ve always had dogs of my own and truly see them as family. I’m used to the everyday stuff—walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love—and I know how much the little routines matter. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own, I’d love to help. I’m new to the area and have lots of free time, so pet care easily fits into my day. I love being outside and see walking dogs as a great way to explore the neighborhood while giving them the exercise and attention they need. Since my schedule is wide open, I can be flexible and available when you need me. When I do drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and some extra love and attention. For walks, I’ll match your dog’s energy, whether that’s a long stroll to burn off energy or a shorter walk for a slower pace. I always treat pets like they’re my own and follow any routines or instructions you leave for me.
About: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
About: For the past year I’ve been helping look after my partner’s five very rambunctious Australian Shepherds, and honestly, getting to know all their little quirks has been one of my favorite things. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me. I’m not working right now, But i currently attend Flagker College where i’m Majoring in Theatre Arts. In the morning, i usually have classes which is from 10 am all the way till 12-1. so for the time being I’ve got plenty of time to give your pet real, focused attention walks, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company. This isn’t just a side gig to me, I actually love it. I treat every home and every pet like they’re special, whether I’m sitting for one night or a whole week. I’ll stick to your routines, keep things clean and calm, and pay close attention to whatever each animal needs. I pick things up quick, and at the end of the day I just want your pet (and you) to trust me.
About: For the past 12 years, I have been training dogs and managing doggie daycares. My main focus over the past 5 years has been getting deeper into the training community, working for local organizations and shelters training service dogs for veterans and opening my dog training company, Palms and Paws Dog Training, LLC. I also have experience in insulin injections and medication in both dogs and cats. My schedule is currently wide open and very flexible! I am able to do new drop in visits, walks and boarding both in my home and at your home. I am married to my wife and currently live in an apartment on the second floor. I have a 14 year old male cat and a 12 German shepherd that get along great. I have done board and trains in the past where dogs came to my home to train so I am familiar with crating and rotating and understand the importance of daily walks and enrichment. I have worked at and managed multiple boarding facilities and am very familiar with all dogs needs both inside and outside of the home as well as their physical, emotional and mental needs. I am equally as passionate about cats and am more than happy to take the time they need to build trust.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to 3 dogs and 2 cats, so I understand how much our pets mean to us! I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I love going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide.

I’m looking to earn some extra money while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m reliable, flexible on those days, and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I have three dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable around animals and understand that every pet has different needs.

I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have also taken care of other people’s pets. I’m comfortable with daily stuff like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I’m good at adjusting to different dogs and their routines. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. As a student athlete, I’m really used to managing my time and sticking to a schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, whether that’s walks, check-ins, or longer care blocks. I plan ahead around classes and practices, so pets still get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m reliable, organized, and used to balancing responsibilities. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their usual routines so everything feels familiar and comfortable for the pet. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions like medication or special care. I make sure pets get attention, exercise, and a calm environment while keeping the home clean and respected. Since I cannot offer care in my home, all services are done in the pet’s home where they’re most comfortable.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, starting with my own Puggle, Zoey. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I truly enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I cared for my 16-year-old Puggle who had diabetes, so I’m very familiar with administering medications and making sure medical needs are always a top priority. I also have a special place in my heart for dogs with anxiety and take pride in creating a calm, comforting environment where they can feel secure. I’ve also been working in the pet care industry for a while as I pursue my goal of becoming a professional dog groomer, so I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. At home, I have my own 2 year old Chihuahua, who is my little baby. I would love the opportunity to share that same love, patience, and plenty of cuddles with your fur baby. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! My schedule is very flexible at this time. Please contact me so that we can schedule a time to meet your pet care needs. I look forward to getting to know your fur baby in the future! I have a dog friendly home. We have the ability to meet your pet’s various medical needs. Our home is filled with cuddles, love, and treats!
About: I’ve had and been around dogs my whole life! I grew up with a boxer and now I have a cockapoo so my experience ranges!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine Beach
We had Jenna check on our cats while we went on a trip, and she was wonderful! When she came to meet & greet, she listened intently, and several of my cats came out to see her and liked her right away! She made us feel at ease and sent pictures every day, and left things clean and tidy. She is communicative, professional, and kind! Thank you Jenna :-)
Michelle was amazing! We’ve never used Rover, but we were out of town and didn’t wanna leave our pups too long while we were off doing fun things. We saw Michelle on Rover and she had great reviews. Even though she was working that day, she took the time to come walk the dogs when she had a break. She was amazing.
Ella is a real gem! We reached out with only a week’s notice to request drop-ins for our “office” (stray) cats, and she jumped right in to help. Her communication and response times were excellent from start to finish. I loved receiving the updates and photos every morning - it was a great start to my day. She followed all instructions to a tee, and the boys were clearly very well looked after. It’s clear that she truly cares about the animals she watches. I would certainly use Ella again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone!
Lynn is absolutely amazing! She truly cares about my senior cat. We were away for 6 days over Thanksgiving. She did 3 drop in visits. Lynn communicated with me before & after each visit which allowed me to relax & enjoy my time away with my family. Thank you, Lynn!
Colleen took great care of Bess and even made good friends with this shy cat. She had a good solution to move the auto feeder when needed and kept the feeding and litter areas spotless. Would definitely use Colleen again and would certainly recommend her highly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
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.
