“Kiara was phenomenal. She took great care of our Canela while we were out of state. She was punctual and communicative. We also loved that she took action shots and adorable pictures of our girl. We highly recommend Kiara for dog sitting.”
“Tanisha was very accommodating to help me out on short notice. My cat is very social compared to most cats, and Tanisha took good care of her by keeping her company and playing with her while I was away.”
“We booked Isabella for house sitting a few weeks ago. She was awesome with our dogs so we rebooked for drop in visits. She is dependable, communicative and provides great attention for our dogs. Will book again! :)”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 9 years since I was 18 years old. I have also cared for senior dogs that required meds and made sure they got them on time. I have taken care of a cat and a bunny as well. I love dogs and love to care for them as if they were my own. I myself have a beautiful baby girl! I understand how hard it can be to leave your baby alone so I ensure to do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable and happy. I currently don’t have a full time job so I would have a lot of open time and space and flexibility. I do prefer one day of advanced booking but I completely understand any last minute emergencies and will try my very best to accommodate if able to. It is important to me that your fur babies get love and everything that they need for excellent care. If any specific instructions or any boundaries please feel free to let me know and I will do my best to deliver amazing care. I do keep all pets on leashes at all time while in my care and keep them within my sight at all times. I also gladly pick up after them whenever we go out for a potty break. I do my very best to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved as if they were mine!
“Sir Duke and I couldn't have been any luckier to have the extra care and assistance we received for a week while visiting Orlando for a convention. After our first visit, I knew Sir Duke (12.5 yr old Boxer) was in good hands with Miss Nancy. We scheduled 2 visits per day since our work hours were long and she took exceptional care of our senior pup. She gave great updates on progress and their adventures for each visit as his needs varied. It was such a relief being able to work the tradeshow without having to worry about anything and knowing he was being cared for by such a sweet and caring person. ~Thank you Miss Nancy!! You made our first Rover experience wonderful.”
About: Hello! I encourage for those looking for emergency or last minute services to reach out to me. I am not always dog sitting so when I am, I am very available. Booking months in advance is unknown for my availability, and I apologize for that. But I would love to help with last minute request! I have experience with aggressive behavioral pets and medically fragile ones as well. I'm happy to help with your pets needs ❤️ all animals are precious to me, and I'm happy to be apart of their lives! Feel free to review my profile and reach out with any questions you might have. Open schedule for animals that require higher needs and attention. Or if there's a need for more than one pet I can accommodate to their routines. When asked to house sit, I spend optimal time with the owners pet. If permitted I take them out to parks. Long walks help calm them when their owners are away, along with treats and toys.
About: I’ve spent several years providing exercise and enrichment for my friends and roommates pets, going on walks and watching them during their owners vacations. Over the last 10 years my partner, I’ve adopted her dog Kiwi, Goldendoodle now 15yr old, and our second dog in covid together with Mr.Kangaroo, mixed small breed now 6yr old. We now still help both our friends and families with dog walks, daycares, or longer stays. Im currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time at home to play with your pups! I’m available for boardings on weekends, and weekdays for daycare. I have a flexible schedule for early or late availability can be arranged with some early notice. Our home has a fenced in yard with dog door access and plenty of yard space for exercises/play with our two dogs to keep your pups company and provide some encouraging energy. We have a pool for swimming and walking paths/parks near my home for short or long walks. If needed we can easily provide separation within our home for privacy or anxiety with crates and dog fences.
About: I have always lived with pets. Ever since I was little we have had dogs. In addition to dogs, in the past my family has had chickens, brids, a guinea pig, cats, fish, and even snakes (I currently have 1 dog)! Animals are an important part of my life. I enjoy caring for dogs and other pets such as birds. It is easy for me to form bonds with animals, and I tend to gain their trust quite quickly. I have experience washing dogs, as well as clipping their nails and brushing fur. I am willing to learn any other skills required to care for your pet. It would be an honor for me to care for your pet with as much love and compassion as you do eveyday. I am free Monday-Thursday, making me a perfect choice for those dog owners who have a busy week! I have plenty of time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I will follow your pets exact routine so they experience minimal disruption. I enjoy providing sensory play for dogs, and providing one-on-one affection. I can also handle light chores such as bringing in your mail and watering plants as needed.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have 6 years of experience caring for pets. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own! I currently work full-time as a nanny and house manager Monday through Friday, but I have a break in the middle of the day that allows for some weekday availability. I’m also available on weekends, Saturdays and Sundays, all day! I’m happy to coordinate schedules in advance to make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority! I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and special instructions provided by pet parents. I also love sending updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I work at a pet store that includes animal deep cleans everyday and giving them fresh food every day and night. I have baby sat dogs in the past also for a family friend. I work part time but I would love to make time to meet ur furry friend and also help you out! I have too much time on my hands anyways. All of my animals are well behaved and healthy and mature. They have their own personalities that makes the smart. All of my animals are trained.
About: I’ve had 11 dogs throughout my life, and I’ve been lucky enough to raise every one of them from just days or weeks old until they reached old age. I spoiled them endlessly, but I also made sure they were well-trained, social, and comfortable around other animals, dogs, babies, and people. Growing up, my family somehow became the family that animals could count on. I’ve lost count of how many animals we’ve rescued, fostered, nurtured, and helped find loving homes for. We’ve rescued everything from a bag of kittens my mom found in a dumpster at her job, to an abandoned iguana left at our house, to a one-eared dog who literally ran up to our car while we were stopped at a red light. I know it sounds like something out of a movie, but I promise it’s all true! 😂❤️ To me, dogs and pets aren’t simply animals—they’re part of us and part of our souls. They are family members who deserve patience, respect, love, attention, and proper care. They’re incredibly pure, innocent, intelligent, funny, and full of personality, and I genuinely love taking the time to understand what makes each animal special. 🐾❤️ I’m fortunate to be able to make my own hours and choose which days I work, which means I often have more days off than someone with a traditional schedule. If I have a pet-walking booking, I can easily adjust my work schedule around it by moving my workday to another day or starting earlier or later. This flexibility allows me to be reliable and available for pets while still maintaining my full-time career. I love that I can use my extra time to give pets the attention, exercise, fresh air, and companionship they deserve. I do travel occasionally, usually about once a month or every couple of months, but I always plan ahead and will let pet parents know in advance and block off any dates I’ll be out of town. I believe every pet and every breed is different, so I care for them based on their individual personality, needs, age, and health. When I had my English Bulldog, he preferred a slower, more laid-back lifestyle. Because of his build, exercise was important, but we kept our walks slow and comfortable, and he was usually very quick when it came to using the bathroom. I currently have a 9-month-old miniature Dachshund who is the complete opposite! He loves sniffing absolutely everything, so our walks tend to be much longer. I never rush him when he’s using the bathroom or exploring because I believe walks should be enjoyable, not something a dog has to hurry through. Because we live in Florida, I’m also very mindful of the heat and strong sun and bring an umbrella for extra shade when needed. He is definitely a very spoiled baby! 😂 He has beds and blankets throughout almost every room of the house, plenty of toys, and lots of space to safely roam and play. Because Dachshunds can be prone to spinal issues, I don’t let him use stairs and carry him up and down whenever needed. He gets monthly de-shedding and grooming, dental treats, coat oils, regular checkups, and of course, an unreasonable amount of hugs and cuddles. ❤️ Overall, I believe pets deserve individualized care, patience, comfort, enrichment, and lots of love. I try to care for every animal the same way I would want someone to care for my own spoiled baby.
About: Hi! I’m a dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve cared for friends and family dogs on multiple occasions and have experience helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow your instructions to make sure your pup feels as comfortable as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment for your pet. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’ll care for your dog with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for evening walks and drop-in visits after work. On weekends, I have much more flexibility, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to pet sitting and making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and companionship. I’ll always do my best to follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I live in a dog-friendly apartment community with access to a fenced dog park and plenty of areas for walks. I also have two other roommates who are comfortable around dogs and help create a welcoming environment. When caring for dogs in my home, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and loving space where they can stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals according to your instructions, and lots of attention and affection. My goal is to help every dog feel comfortable, happy, and at home during their stay.
About: Practical experience in caring for animals, including tasks like feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, administering medication when necessary, grooming, cleaning up after them, monitoring their health, and offering companionship, all while ensuring safety and well-being in the owner’s absence. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m pretty much open availability. Mornings, nights and overnight as needed! I have a clean, comfortable space. I have an open yard, a dog park close to my home. I can easily crate your dog if needed!
“Jessica kept us updated through our whole vacation. She loved on our fur babies and made us feel comfortable for our first time using a pet sitter. I had not left our fur babies in a while and she put me at ease while we were out of town. We will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
“I really appreciated coming a day early to meet Rheese. I was anxious about leaving my puppy home while I worked but Julia was on time and made sure Rheese pottied and had time to play. I feel so much better and will definitely contact again!”
About: I grew up around all types of dogs, and currently have a cat that is my pride and joy, she is clicker trained, harness trained, and loves to go on sunset walks! I set my experience to 1 year because I have pet sat for neighbors over the years but not routinely, I adoreee animals and think all have their own personalities and love spending time and playing with all fur babies!!! I am a hybrid college student, attend classes once a week (Thursdays) so my schedule is pretty open, I prefer to be home at 8am and 8pm to feed and walk my cat but I am super flexible so long as you don’t mind me bringing my laptop to do some homework! :P I am a huge fan of time playtime, I will give your cat/dog a run for their money:) I will assure feeding time is don’t properly and timely.
About: Dog-obsessed and ready to spoil your fur baby! I'm a helicopter dog mom with experience caring for senior dogs (young at heart), energetic pups with endless zoomies, and everything in between. Belly rubs, chasing squirrels, and enrichment are what it’s all about 🫶🏽 I have a lot of flexibility, and time off due to my school schedule. Message me for your specific needs, and we can make a plan. I have a fenced yard with a dog pool, ball pit and shaded patio porch with water available 24/7. I have a doodle (3 yrs old) and mini poodle (12 yrs old) both males and neutered. They’re both sweet and trained but can be separated if needed. If your pup has any allergies or medical needs, please let me know 🤍 Snuggles allowed on sofa’s here 💁🏻♀️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taft
Our two cats don’t warm up to people easily but they really like Angelo. He’s calming and not rushed. Sends a lot of pictures and communicates about our pets each time he visits and plays with them. He has helped in bringing things at the door. I highly recommend him.
Katelyn was wonderful with our two golden doodles. She was always on time, followed instructions carefully, and clearly paid attention to the little details. Most importantly, she was so sweet and caring with our dogs, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her hands. Would recommend and will use again.
Juli has been an absolute gem for my cat Pinky. She is very flexible to changes, communication was on point from the start. She has a heart of gold and truly loves animals and goes above and beyond too take care of them. I highly recommend Juli for any task, she is just incredible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Taft is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $46 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 November 2026, there are 5,430 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Taft. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Taft. On Rover:
- 88% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
