“Elaine kept me informed with great communication and pics every day! My cat was in great hands and I’m sure that she enjoyed Elaine playing with her while I was away! Thank you Elaine!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 15 years old. Friends and family trust me to feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience with puppies, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and supervision. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I have two friendly Poodles and a Pomeranian and always do slow, controlled introductions to make sure every pet feels comfortable. If a dog prefers space, I can easily separate them. I also offer crate care if needed and follow your pet’s routine closely. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hello Neighbors! 👋 I’m Shelly, your local neighbor and a lifelong animal lover. I’m a proud stay-at-home mom currently with two children. One school-aged and one 18 months old, which means my days are centered in our community and I have dedicated availability during school hours to help you! My mission is to give your pets the attention and care they deserve during the day, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re at work or away. To me, pets are not just animals; they are central, beloved members of our families, and they should be treated with utmost respect and love. What sets me apart is my ability to cater to pets with specific needs, IE: puppy care and training or Senior Care and Medication Admin. My goal is to make life easier for you and happier for your pets. I prioritize transparancy and comfort for you and your furr babies. I will send regular photo updates and give meds, food , water, a walk and playtime or training . I highly encoureage meet and greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels comfortagle and happy. I can give your pet 3 to 4 potty breaks a day depending on what they need. Typically morning, noon , and night. They would be taken out three times around 6-9a , 12-4p, 6-10p again just depends on what your pet is used to. They will be fed at whatever your specified time is. And usually after 6p is all cuddles and play if being boarded in my home. I have a fenced yard, and two friendly dogs of my own. My dogs are crate trained and can be crated if they need to to ensure your pet feels safe in my home.
About: I’ve had a pet my whole life and they are always a big part of my family. My dog Cody was with us for almost 16 years. Losing him took a piece of my heart. 8 months later my husband and I adopted Scrappy and he is the best boy ever. He brings us laughter joy and so much love. I would love to take care of your furbabies. They will always be in good hands! That’s a promise. I currently work a full-time job with Friday being remote. I am available after work and also weekends for drop-in visits. I love being and dog mom and would love the opportunity to take care of your furbabies as well. I will be taking your dog for walks and they will enjoy playtime and lots of pets and snuggles. I will make sure they are fed and given any medicine if needed. You will receive lots of pics and videos to assure you that they are being well taken care of.
“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”
“Jackie is dependable (visited my dog during the times she was supposed to), quick responses (when I first requested the booking and all other communications) and took good care of our precious Bailey!!! This is the 2nd time I've booked Jackie for visits to our home and I will be happy to book her again!”
“Noel has been an incredible care giver! She is someone you can trust to take care of your pets. She not only went above and beyond each visit, but also took on more days on zero notice when my flight got canceled.”
“Lizania did a wonderful job of taking care of our cats.they were more responsive to her than they have been to other sitters and were happy and healthy when we got home. I would use her again when we went away.”
“She was great with my dogs! She was always on time, took them for walks, and sent lots of updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have experience with both cats and dogs, making sure they have fresh food and water, clean spaces, and lots of attention. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and keeping cats’ litter boxes tidy. Above all, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time in education so during the school year I’m available after school (2:30 PM), evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I keep my Rover calendar up to date so you always know when I’m available. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their routine. I ensure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them, and provide attention and playtime. For cats, I clean litter boxes regularly, and for dogs, I take them outside for bathroom breaks and walks as needed. Routine Updates: I’ll send updates and photos to keep you informed, so you can have peace of mind while away.
About: 🐾 Your Pets Aren’t Just Pets — They’re Family! 🐾 Hi, I’m Sherri! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe every pet deserves the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I spent 4.5 years working at a veterinary hospital and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for all types of animals with different personalities, needs, and temperaments. I specialize in caring for large breeds, having been a Great Dane owner for over 10 years. I understand the unique needs of giant breeds — from their big personalities and gentle hearts to their exercise, comfort, and care requirements. Large dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I’m confident providing the patience, handling, and attention they deserve. I have experience with extended house and pet sitting, and my own home is a mini animal family! I currently share my life with a Great Dane named Dunkin, a rescue pup named Potato, a Siamese cat named Yodel, a bird named Yoo-Hoo, and a tortoise named Sam. My animals are my babies and are involved in my everyday life. Many of my pets are rescues and require extra patience, understanding, and TLC — something I provide naturally. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication assistance, special care, or simply a loving companion while you’re away, I’m happy to customize my services to fit their needs. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and spoiled just like they would at home. I’ve been told I take the best pictures 📸, and I love keeping pet parents updated with adorable photos and fun moments so you can feel connected while you’re apart. I’m located in Ruskin, available most weekends, and would love the opportunity to meet your furry (or feathered!) family member. Let’s get walking! 🐶🐾 — Sherri My schedule is currently very flexible. I have a standing commitment on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a local dog walk, but I am available outside of those hours to accommodate your pet care needs. I also offer late-night walks and visits for clients who work overnight shifts or have nontraditional schedules, and I'm happy to work with you to create a schedule that best fits you and your pet. I offer both overnight stays in your home and drop-in visits, depending on your pet's needs. We can discuss the best option during our meet-and-greet to ensure you're comfortable and your pet receives the highest level of care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing them with love, patience, and attentive care. I am also clean, neat, and organized, and I take pride in respecting your home by leaving it just as I found it.
About: Humble greetings. My experice with animal care began when I was about 11 years old. I've been raised around and have cared for a plethora of dog breeds and sizes. I've also experienced, and cared for a range of different animals like reptiles, rodents, felines, fish and dogs. I enjoy many different pets/pet personalities and ensure that I can provide the care your paw-some pet requires ^u^. I'm currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule. Weekends, and Some holidays are great times for my availability. I'm willing to negotiate some weekdays depending on my schedule. Depending on the animal, I will provide the care that is requested of me by you(the owner). Since you know your pet better than I do, I would like to have a description of the pets personality, meal times, routines, healthcare needs and habits so I know how to accommodate them best( knowing whether they need space, like cuddles, have zoomies, need medicine throughout the day, need assistance walking etc.) If your pet is medicated I need to know HOW they are given their medication and when they are to recieve it. I also need to be notified of any disabilities they may have. This is all to ensure that my care is excellent for you and them.<3
“Naisha was excellent. Understanding, helpful and on time. She walked my dog daily and I was able to see how happy he was. Respected my hime and kept things very professional. Thank you.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun City Center
What can we say other than thank you so much! Such a great dog sitter. She gave our dog the love he needed while we were away. She sent lots of pics and kept in touch with us with updates. I think Scrappy has another best friend. We will use Danilyn every time we go away and highly recommend! ❤️
As expected, Stephanie took great care of our elusive Gilbert. He is usually waiting for her and because she talks to him, he answers her. She lives in the hopes that one day he will let her pet him. We go away with the knowledge that both our fur baby and our home will be well looked after.
As always Ashley stepped up when we needed her. We were on our way out of town when I realized that I had made a mistake with the dates I had given her. Reached her right away and my mistake was corrected. Our boy came out to hiss at her, but also stayed visible during her time at the house. I live in the hopes that one day he’ll trust her enough to let her brush him. Her calm manor may win him over!
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!
Allee was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my cat and made the whole experience stress-free. She was dependable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious she genuinely cared about my cat and made sure she felt comfortable and loved. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Allee to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter. I’ll definitely book with her again!
I had a great experience with Arelis watching my cat, Carter. She cared for him over seven days with drop-in visits and was very communicative the entire time. She consistently checked in with updates and made sure I knew Carter was doing well, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Carter was well taken care of, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely trust Arelis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sun City Center is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 7,009 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sun City Center. 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 Sun City Center. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
