“She was great with our dogs Ella and Waylon! She kept us updated throughout her visit, including their bathroom breaks, and left a very detailed report about her time with them. She made sure they got plenty of exercise and walk time and even sent us lots of photos, which we really appreciated while we were away. We felt very comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. We would highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”

About: Dogs have been part of our lives for as long as we can remember. Gage was raised around dogs from a young age, his dad bred bullies, so he grew up learning canine behavior, body language, and daily care firsthand. After getting married, we added four dogs of our own, which deepened our passion for training, boarding, and understanding how dogs learn best. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including a Bull Mastiff, Pit/Lab mix, Rottweiler/Boxer mix, Great Dane, and a Boxer. Large breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies learning structure, and gentle seniors all receive care tailored to their specific needs. We understand that young dogs need consistency and patience, while senior dogs often need a slower pace and extra attentiveness. What truly sets us apart is that we intentionally keep things small and personal. We board a maximum of two dogs at a time (one family at a time), ensuring individualized attention, proper supervision, and a calm environment - never overcrowded, rushed, or chaotic. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities in our home. After each stay, we fully sanitize spaces, wash bedding, disinfect crates and play areas, and properly dispose of waste to maintain a clean, healthy environment for every dog. We also believe communication matters. Regular updates, photos, and check-ins are sent so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while you’re away. We own a small business offering guided boat tours, fishing trips, and jet ski rentals, which gives us a highly flexible schedule. Because we control our calendar, we only accept pet care bookings when we are fully available to dedicate our time and attention to your dog. Since we both work from home, your pup will not be left alone for extended periods. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine, with built-in time for morning and evening walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. Our days are structured around consistency and companionship. Whether your dog thrives on activity and engagement or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, we’re able to provide steady attention, a calm atmosphere, and dependable care from start to finish. Our home is a quiet, structured, and comfortable environment designed to feel like home, never like a kennel. As mentioned above, we intentionally care for only 1–2 dogs at a time (1 pet family at a time), which allows us to provide focused supervision, individualized attention, and a low-stress setting. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime, regular outdoor breaks, consistent feeding schedules, and plenty of downtime to rest and decompress. We pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level, adjusting care to ensure they feel secure and comfortable throughout their stay. Crates are never required unless your dog prefers the familiarity of one. We also have a dedicated spare bedroom where one of us can sleep with your dog, so they don’t have to sleep alone or feel isolated. Maintaining routine, safety, cleanliness, and emotional comfort are always our top priorities. Whether in our home or during drop-in visits at yours, we follow your established routines closely - including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any specific instructions - so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every dog in our care is treated with the same patience, structure, and affection we give our own.

About: My name is Emma, and I have over a decade of experience caring for both dogs and cats, personally and professionally! I love animals, they’re such gifts, and I would love to help you with your special family member! I’ve trained dogs in both obedience and hunting professionally, as well as rescuing and adopting a cat personally, so I’m experienced caring for and loving both our canine and feline friends! I stay at home now, and would love to help you care for your furry companions! I’m currently staying at home, so while I always make sure to shower my little cat with love, I have plenty of time and flexibility throughout the workday to help care for your furry family members! This includes making sure they have plenty of playtime, long walks for our canine friends, and plenty of stimulation, as well as a clean environment (scoop litter boxes, make sure food/water are distributed appropriately, etc)! Each fur baby has different needs! I believe that owners know best, so my first step is to see what you want for your furry companion in terms of care! I love going on long walks, so happy to get plenty of exercise in with dogs, as well as letting them off leash (with explicit owner permission) within a fenced area! With our feline friends, I’m vigilant about doors, ensuring they don’t sneak out, and also love playing with them, and providing mental simulation!

About: I’ve been taking care of Dogs since I was 8 different types of dogs. This allowed me to understand different types of dog behavior. It's been a true passion of mine to take care of dogs. I'm currently free as of now. I have time to house sit just about anytime of the week whether it's a weekend or a weekday at any time scheduled. I have a fenced-in yard that sits around 2 acres which allows bigger or smaller dogs to be able to get their Exercise or space needed to play.

About: I appreciate you for considering and looking at my profile! FOR HOUSE SITTING ITS STATED ON MY PROFILE I CAN ONLY STAY AT YOUR HOUSE FULL TIME, I do have my own dogs listed on my profile so please read through the whole thing! I don’t like to Waste your time, so please before messaging read through my whole profile, it answers lots of questions and if I have to deny you for something that is stated it does affect my profile, thank you in advance! 
You can follow my social medias where I post some of the things we do ! 
For my work experience i have been wanting to do this my whole life! 
So that’s exactly what i did, i started shadowing trainers, reading any possible book i could about dog behavior. 
I loved working with dogs so much but while i was there i ran into the guilt of the dogs being locked up most of the time and not entirely getting the normal amount of human interaction they get at home so i started doing this on my own! From working at multiple kennels, shadowing trainers, caring for senior animals, completing dog grooming, school, or caring for polar opposite pups like chihuahuas versus a great dane! i do not do boarding in my own home but treating you’re home as if it was mine is always the goal. you should never let you’re dog run you’re home since ur the one who I invited him into the home. Respecting all rules and comments that are given! Right now I’m currently looking for a job so I’m hoping this takes up most of my time till I can find a full time job but for now my time is your time Always follow YOUR rules. what’s ur routine? how do you take care of ur animals? Everyone has different wants and needs and I wanna know them.

“Jocelyn and Drew were amazing with my dogs! I went on a week long trip abroad and they handled one of my dog’s walks and had no issues. My dog doesn’t like going outside, pulls on the leash, and can be shy, but they made her feel very comfortable and confident! I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone, especially if your fur baby has some anxieties.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Silver Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Silver Springs is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 620 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Silver Springs. 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.

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 with handling special pet needs in Silver Springs. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
