“I really can’t thank Osvaldo enough for being available and so kind when it came to checking in on my cats. I frequently have to travel and it’s hard to get people to stop by.

About: I have been a responsible for taking care of pets since the first grade, thanks to my parents instilling responsibility from a young age with pet ownership. Since then, family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to take of their fur-babies when they cannot be included on family adventures. I am currently available 7 days a week to play, walk, stay over night, or feed your pet while you are living your best life. When taking care of a pet in a client's home, I make sure to follow all instructions of care while still providing all the love and care to your pet.
About: For the past 20 years, I've had the joy of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs, each with their own unique personality and needs. Through every stage of their lives—from playful puppies to their senior years—I learned the importance of patience, consistency, love, and attentive care. My experience has taught me how to recognize a fur-baby's individual needs, provide a safe and comfortable environment, and make sure they feel happy, loved, and secure while their families are away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I treat every fur-baby as if they were my own. I work full-time from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with Tuesdays and Saturdays off. Before work, I make time to care for my own dog by taking her outside, going for a walk, and spending quality time together. After work, we enjoy another walk, playtime, and plenty of attention. On my days off, I have a more flexible schedule and enjoy taking longer walks with my dog, playing with her, and keeping up with everyday household chores. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and making sure they receive the love, exercise, and care they need. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to treating every pet like part of my own family. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own dog. I know that staying in their familiar environment helps pets feel safe and comfortable, so I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I also respect your home, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so your pets feel loved while you're away and you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

About: You want your pet to feel happy, safe, and comfortable at home while you’re out of town? You’ve got it! 🐾 I’m Estefania, a certified veterinary assistant/technician, professional dog groomer, and longtime animal lover with 17+ years of hands on experience. I coordinate dog adoptions through our nonprofit organization and also work independently to educate, rescue, rehabilitate, and advocate for homeless pets and animals in need. I’m experienced with all kinds of pet care needs, including administering medications, wound care, preparing special meals, and making accommodations for pets with medical, behavioral, or special needs. I’m also backed by local veterinary resources when something outside the normal scope of pet sitting comes up. For our Sarasota area sitting, I’m fortunate to have my longtime friend Jen Semro joining me. Jen is retired and has been caring for pets since the 1980s. She lives a quiet, peaceful lifestyle and has always had a genuine love for animals. She enjoys photography and resin art in her free time and is the perfect person to provide calm, consistent companionship. Jen will be the primary sitter and will handle the day to day care, while I remain involved and available to provide my veterinary technician knowledge and additional support whenever needed. Together, we bring decades of combined pet care experience and a very personal approach to every animal we care for. We intentionally keep our pet care small and personal rather than taking on a large number of animals at once. Our goal is for your pet to receive genuine attention and maintain as much of their normal routine as possible. We can accommodate pets who need extra patience, special routines, medications, senior care, or simply a little more love and reassurance. For house sitting, we’ll accommodate our schedule around your pet’s needs so they can stay comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. We’re happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and being cared for.

When I was about 9 years old, I became involved with Cat Tails and More, a local nonprofit organization, where I began learning how to work with and understand dogs on a deeper level. That early experience grew into a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build amazing relationships with animals while also helping their people better understand them. Whether it’s a goofy pup , a nervous rescue, a senior who needs extra care, or a pet who simply wants someone nearby, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️🐾 Whether I’m at home or in your home I follow /adapt to each pets usual routine so that they feel as nothing has changed . I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs to keep your dog company . I prefer not to crate but I will if necessary. I have many references from clients who ask me to stay in their home.

About: My family is grateful to still care for our 17 year old senior dog, Ace. We have had Ace since he was 8 months old. I have the energy to handle a puppy and the patience to handle a senior dog. I also have my own cat, Sophia. I truly understand the temperaments of both animals. I’ve been trusted to care for my own pets as well as my friends. I am available throughout the week as I am dedicated to Rover full time. I have my own vehicle so that makes traveling seamless. I am available from 10am-10pm most days. I understand that each pet will have their own specific way to be cared for. A pet is absolutely individualistic and there is no one way to care for everyone’s pet. Therefore, I will follow the directions as explained in order to keep the fur baby’s routine.
“Taylor was awesome with my pups. I had a less than satisfactory experience with a boarding facility as well as my pups have some anxiety with loud noises so I really wanted them to be home where they are comfortable. Taylor was very accommodating with working out a schedule with me. She’s a great communicator and frequently sent visit notes and pictures of the visits. One of my rescues came from an abuse situation and is wary of new people. After a day or so she was cuddling on the couch with Taylor & my other pup. I would not hesitate to hire Taylor again. In fact I look forward to it. Kathy, Rylie and Heidi”

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
