About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

I currently have 5 amazing dogs of my own. Transitioning in my life and starting a new pet business with a mobile dog gym. In the meantime working in some pet sitting and dog walking. Looking forward to meeting some new furry friends and wonderful pet owners! Ease your mind and hire someone who has made a career out of caring for animals! I am currently transitioning in my career and starting a new business, so right now I'm pretty flexible as my mobile dog gym business ramps up. Check in and let me know what you need, I'm sure I can move some things around! I am happy to follow any care instructions provided by pet owners to a T! I would also be happy to provide any advice based on my experience if asked.

“Kelsey was great. She is a great communicator, I had to book a last minute drop in for my 3 pups and she was able to come to help. She updated me when she got to my house and sent pictures of them outside and let me know they were fed. Will use her again in the future and I recommend her to anyone who needs a drop in visit. My pups looked happy that she was there 🙂”

“cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.”

About: I offer pet walking and house sitting services. If you have an active dog, I will take them on adventures! I have taken care of dogs, cats, cockatiels, bearded dragons, rabbits, and fish. I have either boarded all of these animals or gone to their home to care for them. I've taken care of many breeds of dogs including 100+ breeds and pit bulls. I've taken care of both puppies and senior dogs. I also understand that you may have specific training instructions and I will make sure to adhere to these when walking and sitting. I cared for a family dog for 4 years during my mid-twenties. I put a lot of care into making sure every animal feels safe and loved while in my care. I typically take dogs on a walk in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Depending on the needs of the dog, I can do additional potty breaks and different walk lengths. I am open to house sitting and can bring your dog to nearby trails or nearby dog parks as needed. Depending on if you have a yard, I can spend time playing with them outside either within a fenced area or on leash. Your animal will receive loving attention and plenty of pets if they are into that. I can also do animal massage which is great for stressed pets, or simply those who exercise a lot and have tense muscles.

About: Hi! My name is Alexia, and I’m a lifelong animal lover currently based in Sarasota, Fl. I’ve grown up around a variety of pets my entire life and currently have two dogs of my own — a pitbull and a rescue — so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting for family, friends, neighbors, and through volunteering at animal shelters. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious pets, and administering medication when needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m very energetic, patient, organized, and reliable. As an athlete, I’m an active person who genuinely loves walking, running, and spending time outdoors, which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs who need exercise and attention. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship and care during drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I always make communication a priority. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I also have reliable transportation. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and treat them like family! I’m working a part time job, attending classes, and playing sports. With that being said I am available on weekends and throughout the week, times will vary. I have a huge backyard with a pool and I only have one dog. She’s an American Bulldog and I have had her for almost 10 years now. I take her on walks all the time and try to do as many activities. She loves spending her days outside lounging around by the pool.

About: - Currently, I WFH part time so I have flexibility to take care of your fur baby. - I have a lovely bunny (Bunzo) that I had with me for 3.5 years and have treated him like a prince. He gets unlimited hay, greens, and a couple treats daily. He runs around inside the house from time to time, but likes to relax under my bed. - I have friends and family whom have dogs and cats that I have taken care of over the years. - Personality-wise: my friends and family would say I am very loving, caring, and bubbly so I will show that same love to every pet I meet and care for. Currently, I am a part time WFH accountant. I work 20 hours a week, that includes working one day in person on Thursdays 1-5pm. When I am home, I have the ability the take your pet for a walk or monitor them outside in the fenced backyard. I can bring my laptop/phone around to do work on the go too. We have a fenced-in backyard where your pet can roam around. I will have my bunny around in the house, but I can keep him in a separate room to roam around, if need be. I will be happy to walk dogs in nearby spots they enjoy.

About: I am patient, dependable, and genuinely love working with dogs. I’ve volunteered many times at an animal shelter caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors dogs. I’ve also spend years walking and caring for my own dogs as well as dogs for my family and friends. I provide safe, great communication, and photo updates so you feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally in my routine. As a college student with a part time job, I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, holidays, and even early mornings or late evenings. I’m very active, so dog walks are something I genuinely enjoy. I have reliable transportation, accept both regular and one time bookings, and can often accommodate same day request. Whether it’s a long walk, a rainy day, or extra playtime, I’m happy to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect as my own. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (with food), and any special instructions. Before I leave, I’ll make sure your dog is comfortable, has fresh water, and everything is secure. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: *If you have cats please discuss this with me first* my dogs are not cat friendly! I’ve always loved animals. I’m in school right now so I’m home through the week most weeks. My dogs are very used to being around others. I have one roommate. We have a very quiet house. A large fenced in yard with a gazebo and a small pool for the dogs. I’m a nurse. I work one night shift for a kid doing home health on Fridays and then I work 8h shifts at a jail over the weekend. I may work some 12h shifts usually just once a week but I’m prn so it’s mainly the weekends that I’m working. For the summer I just have one class in person for 3h and one class online. My roommate is helpful to let out the dogs if I get stuck being away too long. When I’m at work my pets have a large caged area they stay in. When I’m home or only going to be gone a few hours they roam the house. If you chose to board your animals with me when I’m not home I’d prefer them to be a cage just to ensure safety but we can discuss this further.

Molly watched our cat for a week while we were out of town for our wedding, and she was fantastic from start to finish. She was prompt with updates, super attentive to our cat's routine, and made sure everything ran smoothly while we were away. Coming home to a calm, well cared for pet made our return so much sweeter. Highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for top notch pet care!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Tallevast

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tallevast is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $41 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 4,064 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tallevast. 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 Tallevast. 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 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.
