“Tamara is the best pet sitter! Reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communication. Thank you for taking such good care of Pepper and Blizzard. The next time we are in need of a pet sitter, you are definitely my first choice. Thanks again Tamara😊”

“Jennifer started weekly drop in’s with my 13 week old Australian Shepherd puppy. This was my first time leaving her alone for several hours, and I was a little worried given her need for attention, play and mental stimulation. Jennifer’s knowledge and experience with herding breeds was impressive and completely eased my mind. Gracie absolutely loved Jennifer and it shows with the pictures and the happy puppy I came home to. She checked in with me through out the visit and sent me some adorable pictures. She went above and beyond just a drop in visit and I highly recommend her! Thank you again!!”

“Angela is very kind as I asked her to water my plants and bring in packages as well as taking care of my Ally. She did an amazing job. I would call her again if the future calls for a Rover sitter. Thank you, Brenda”


About: I've owned and taken care of pets of all kinds for 50 years. I'm easy going and will love your babies as my own. I have 2 sons, 4 grandkids, 2 dogs, and 1 parrot! I'm currently a retired, trustworthy grandma with wide availability. I like to stay busy, so I've been house and pet sitting through word of mouth for friends and family for years. I love animals so this has been a great fit for my post-retirement (42years) from the Hillsborough county school system. I am available on short notice 7 days a week. I'm happy to help keep your fur babies routine and make them as comfortable and safe as possible. I'm comfortable giving medication, walks, and plenty of play time.
“Tifaney was incredibly responsive and attentive to our need for our fur babies. Thank you for sending us photos and taking care of them while we were out of town.”

“Claudia has cared for Milo at least five times now, and every experience has been outstanding. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands whenever I’m away. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely treats Milo like he’s part of her own family. She always pays attention to the little details, keeps me updated, and makes sure he’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The moment Milo sees Claudia, his tail starts wagging and he gets so excited—that says everything about the bond they’ve built. I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you, Claudia, for always taking such incredible care of my sweet boy. I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pet as if it were their own!”

“Rosemary is a great sitter, very reliable and attentive. She took good care of our dogs for a weekend while we were gone. I’ll recommend her to anyone that needs help with their dogs. 100%”


About: I have had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels-from high energy pups who need lots of playtime to older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra TLC. I'm well versed in basic pet first aid and always pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe capable hands. I know how important peace of mind is when you're away, and i take that responsibility seriously. At home, I have a very full (and very spoiled) house-one dog, two cats, and a guinea pig- so I'm used to managing different routines personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I'll treat them like one of my own-with plenty of attention, care and extra belly rubs! This is currently my main focus so i have a completely open schedule to accommodate pet parents that may need me at all hours based on their needs I have access to several dog friendly parks and trails near my home as well as a crew cab truck so even the largest dogs can enjoy a ride. I also keep a dog seatbelt and pet friendly steps in the truck in case anyone needs a little extra hand getting in
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from beloved family pets to farm animals and reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities, sizes, and needs. My experience has taught me that every animal deserves patient, attentive, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has a unique routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. My availability gives me the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine, provide timely potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they have fresh water and a clean environment. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it.
“Sydney was an amazing sitter for my cat! She was very attentive to my cat’s needs and gave her lots of love. She sent me pictures of her meals, litter box, and cute playing photos everyday. I will definitely book with Sydney again! Thank you:)))”

“This was my first time using Rover but I’m glad to say it was a great experience. I was hesitant at first but after a meet and greet with Angie, I knew my fur babies would be in good hands. Angie was amazing! She worked so well with one of my dogs that doesn’t do well with strangers. Angie kept great communication which definitely helped give me peace of mind. I will definitely use Angie for future needs.”

“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”


About: I do work with clients but I also work with the dogs. Every dog has its own lively hood that is important to cater. A dog doesn’t just need food and water, it needs companionship. Despite working a part time job, my availability is open for most days of the week. As long as I know the time frame, your dogs will be given the best care I can give! To help overcome any fear or anxiety about a stranger in your house, I do offer meet and greets to help provide a peace of mind.

About: I've dedicated my career to caring for animals and would love the opportunity to care for yours, too! Along with being the proud owner of a fun, energetic two-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd, I have several years of professional animal care experience working with both domestic and exotic animals. My background has given me extensive experience with animal behavior, daily husbandry, enrichment, administering medications, monitoring health, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always strive to provide patient, individualized care that helps them feel safe and happy. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that require medications or extra patience. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you're away. I know how much peace of mind matters when trusting someone with your pet, and I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday until 3:00 PM, so I'm available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet care after work. I'm also available most weekends with advance notice, which helps me ensure I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I do my best to be flexible, so don't hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make something work! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I'm experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and health, administering medications when needed, and remaining calm in unexpected situations. I believe communication is just as important as quality care, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt responses while you're away. I will always respect your home's routines, follow your care instructions carefully, and treat your pet like one of my own. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sydney
Angela took an amazing care of our two kitties while we were away. It was very reassuring to know that they were in good hands and it also definitely helped with the guilt of leaving them alone while we traveled. We’ll definitely reach out to Angela the next time we need someone to check on the cats and we strongly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a reliable, trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
