“Kelly accepted another short notice request, then extended it a day after my work schedule changed last minute. She is a natural with the dogs, and I was able to focus on my job while out of town knowing the pups were well attended to.”

“Thank you, Ariel, for taking such great care of Ginger. It means so much to me! 🐱❤️ I’m very happy and grateful for the care and attention you gave Ginger while I was away. Ariel is punctual, communicative, and trustworthy. He kept me updated and gave me peace of mind knowing that Ginger was in good hands. I would definitely reach out to him again to take care of my cat. Thank you so much, Ariel! 🐾❤️”

“I can't recommend Elizabeth enough! Shes have been an absolute lifesaver for me and my dog. Not only is she incredibly reliable and punctual, but she also go above and beyond to make sure my dog feels comfortable and loved during every walk. It's clear she has a true passion for animals, and her attention to detail always reassures me that my dog is in great hands. Whether it’s a quick stroll or a longer adventure, I always know my dog is in safe and caring hands. I truly appreciate her dedication and kindness. Thank you for making my dog’s walks and check ins so easy for him and me!”

About: I'm a total animal person with a flexible schedule, meaning your pets get my full, undivided attention instead of me rushing back and forth from another job. I've grown up around dogs and treat every pet like my own. Because I currently have an open schedule, I can spend maximum time hanging out, playing, and keeping your pets company. Since I have a completely open schedule right now, I can give your pets all of my time, attention, and care. Whether they need plenty of daytime company, lots of backyard play, or just a relaxing buddy to hang out with while you're away, I'm fully dedicated to making sure they feel right at home. When I'm hanging out at your place, your pets' comfort and routine come first. I always stick to their usual feeding and potty schedules, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and belly rubs. My goal is just to keep them happy, relaxed, and feeling safe while you're away!

“Gabby did an amazing job taking care of my Jackson while I had to be out of town for the weekend! She is very thorough. She came over for a meet-and-greet with Jackson and asked me lots of the questions about his habits and personality. I really appreciated that she truly wanted to learn as much about him as possible. During her visits, she sent the absolute best Rover Cards! She is quite the photographer. She sent one slow-motion video of Jackson running with the ever-present tennis ball in his mouth that was so great! I would highly recommend Gabby to take care of your fur baby.”

Sandi was patient and by the end of the booking, Tabby was flopping on the floor for belly rubs. We loved getting all of the photos and videos each morning. Will definitely rebook with Sandi again.”

Amanda is simply amazing!! She was so kind and caring with my girls. You can see her love for animals instantly. I was initially nervous because we never used a service before, but once I saw her interacting with my girls, I was calm and knew she was the best. She sent me great follow up notes and the most amazing pictures after every visit. Thank you for taking such good care of my girls. I will definitely call Amanda next time!!

Erin is truly the best! She always goes above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her. She is incredibly patient and wonderful with my Doberman puppy, who has more energy than he knows what to do with! She handles him with so much care, patience, and genuine affection. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and treats every dog as if they were her own. Having someone I can completely trust with my pup means so much, and I couldn’t recommend Erin more highly. We’re lucky to have her!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Tamarac

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tamarac is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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 November 2026, there are 7,372 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tamarac. 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 Tamarac. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
