“I highly recommend Heather! Communication is everything and she was on top of it! She always let us know when she was on her way to take care of our fur baby and gave us updates after her visits. She was also very flexible on the time frame we needed the drop in visits to happen and she will send pics as well. 100% would request her again!”
About: I have had a dog of my own my family has 2 dogs each! I’ve watch several people animals and wouldn’t mind to do it again as a side gig! We officially added our own furry animal to our life he’s a Lhasa apso named Charlie! I’m looking to go back to school and i need a side gig to make extra cash and this would be a hobby rather work! Give me a good life balance on top of being a mama! I live in an apartment but would have no issue going for a mile walk to let the fur babies play! As well and play with them in my home!
“I had a fantastic experience with Adriana! She was punctual, respectful, and incredibly trustworthy, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog, Shirley, can be a bit particular, but she absolutely loves Adriana—which says a lot! It’s clear she has a natural way with animals, and I appreciated how attentive and caring she was. She followed all instructions perfectly, and I never had to worry about Shirley’s safety or happiness. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Michele is the best rover I have found! She truly goes above and beyond to not only make me feel comfortable about leaving my dogs, but i know the boys are happy and are in amazing hands when she’s here with them. She loves them like her own and I am so appreciative! Everyone needs a Michele in their lives for their sweet pups :)”
About: I worked at a dog daycare as a Canine Coach and Lead for almost two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels in a fast-paced environment. I also have over 15 years of personal pet care experience, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. As a USF student with an active lifestyle, I enjoy keeping dogs engaged through walks, playtime, and attention while also making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means helping energetic puppies burn off energy or giving older dogs a calmer, more relaxed experience. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone, and I always treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, especially over summer break while I’m home from USF. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active, so dog walking, playtime, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing throughout the week. I do have a few trips planned during the summer, but I always keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings when I know I can fully dedicate my time and attention to each pet. Reliability and communication are very important to me, and I want pet owners to feel confident their dogs are in good hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while keeping the pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, or any special care needs. I have experience working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels from my time working at a dog daycare, so I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and reading animal behavior. I also believe communication and trust are extremely important, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they’re away.
“Thank you again for taking care of Rory. I was totally in awe that he warmed up to you. Most other people just hides from. Loved receiving pictures and updates during the time you were with him. Clearly will be his "person" when we are away!”
About: I’ve been casually caring for dogs for several years, mainly for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company, I’m someone pets feel comfortable around. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m dependable, patient, and always make sure your dog feels safe and loved. I treat every pet like my own and follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I am a full time teacher, but I always have time for your fur babies after school! I already love going on walks, so adding your puppy is a treat for me!! I always follow instructions provided thoroughly! I just want your baby to be safe! I always like to keep the space I am in clean!
“Karina is kind and reliable. She visits my friend Gus. She sends me pictures of their time together. She answers all text messages promptly. I have such peace of mind knowing she is providing fun,treats and bathroom breaks while I'm working. Thank you Karina!”
“Melissa is top notch. Very responsive and very kind. She politely told me she had another pet sitting obligation booked but was able to stop by afterwards which worked even better for me. My boy is older and does not walk stairs real well and she boosted him up the stairs from behind as well. Absolutely everything you hope for when you come on Rover. 5 stars would not be enough. Thank you Melissa!!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15 and over the years I have gained the hearts of many families and their fur babies. I know how to read animals body language, gain the animals trust Before going to school I will always check up on any animal I am taking care of and after school I will go straight to take care of the animals and let them out. Before bed I will let the animals out to use the bathroom I will follow the list the owners give me and if the owners says I need to sleep at their house I will to make sure their animals are safe and happy. When caring for my animals at home I always makes sure they have fresh water, food and enough love
About: I took care of my dog since a puppy. up until he passed away due to seizures, which I was able to attend and help him with when they occurred. I will babysit for my sisters puppy when they are unavailable. I love to take care of any pets, because they are such a joy, and playful, so when I’m in need of a laugh or a smile, interacting with pets is always very helpful. By making sure that they stay in the designated area that I get told, and by making sure they behave appropriately without any complications. They will be in good hands.
“Such a sweetheart and took excellent care of my fur babies while I was away! She was on time and very professional definitely going to be using Alexis again for dog sitting services! 🐾🐶”
“I can't say enough positive things about Angela. She was able to accommodate my last minute trip. She kept in contact throughout the day, provided adorable updates and pictures. Even though I was out of town, I felt my animals were in good hands, and I had peace of mind. I'm actually looking forward to going out of town again because I know my babies will be well taken care of. Thank you Angela!! I appreciate you!”
About: Hello there! I’m Kelly! I pride myself on being very open and communicative, especially with someone else’s furbaby! I know how hard it is to leave your pet, and you can expect a "love note" from them when you're away! April of 2016 I adopted an Australian Shepard--my copilot Marley. I quickly became "that dog woman." She goes everywhere with me. I started to take my neighbors two aussies with us on side adventures when their humans had to work. I took a lot of time to train my girl and we are working towards therapy dog certification to be able to spread the puppy love to local children's hospitals. I'm a graphic designer by trade which gives me the flexible schedule that I have! Love to draw and also an avid runner! In my off time i'm usually training or off adventuring with my Aussie and kiddos. I have a 2 and a 4 year old that are just as obsessed with doggos as I am! My dog loves people and other animals so much that I want to be able to the take care of dogs while their people are away or working. I know it puts my mind at ease knowing if I am out without my dog that she is safe, happy and having a good time. I want to do the same for other "pet parents." I work at night and during the day I’m living that mom and dog mom life. I’m mostly available for walks and possibly boarding in home if your doggo is pleasant and fits. I have a fenced in backyard with a shaded deck. Oh and a GIANT fan. We’re on our back porch often and it’s nice to have a break from the sun but still get fresh shady air!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tarpon Springs
Alex did a great job with my “kids” The doors to the house were locked … all 4 he would have used. The two water bowls were full and clean (no days of residue in the bottom ) Their dishes were clean and ready for the next meal . The cats litter boxes clean. For me it was having a stranger in my home that I was most concerned with… Alex came in, attended to the kids promptly, sent communication when needed and left the house. I am very pleased will use Alex in the future ☺️

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tarpon Springs stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Tarpon Springs choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Tarpon Springs with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
