“I needed a last minute sitter and Elizabeth came through. My dogs looked happy when I came home and I was able to enjoy my evening knowing my dogs were well cared for. Highly recommend.”
“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: I’m a hardworking and caring person who absolutely loves animals, especially cats and dogs. I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets and pet sitting in the past, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Dogs bring so much joy into life, and I’d love to bring a little joy into theirs while you’re away. I enjoy running and taking long walks, so if your dog loves exercise, I’d be more than happy to join them. Every dog deserves love, no matter their age, and it would be my pleasure to care for them. Cats, with their calm and unique personalities, hold a special place in my heart too. I’ll make sure your cats feel loved, respected, and cared for while you’re away. Thank you for considering me to look after your furry family members! I currently on a teacher on summer break and have open availability! So take that mid week trip to Disney or to a water park! I will respect the space that I am in. This is your pets territory so I will ensure that it is well respected. Making sure they feel comfortable and safe is my number one priority.
About: I have cared for all size dogs for about 5 and a half years. I’ve adopted dogs for the day and cared for neighbors dogs. I have all the free time in the world now that I am home from college. My availability is very flexible and can be easily adjusted. I never touch things that are not mine and that have not been specified that I can touch. If a mess is made, it is instantly cleaned.
“Thank you so much Karina! Your service is so appreciated and it is so amazing to know we can go out of time and trust our baby is being checked on and in good hands! Thank you for your time and effort with your drop in visits to keep or cat happy! We couldn’t be happier with the care provided 💕!”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and will bring the same level of love, comfort and care to your know fur babies. I'm recently retired so I have free time for your fur baby. I'm available for daytime check-ins, walks, overnights at client homes, etc, and even weekends if needed. I only take 1 client at a time to focus all my attention on. I'm able to watch your dog or cat in my home or yours. My home has a fully fenced yard as well. I have years of experience sitting for friends/family.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Growing up, I had a dog of my own, and since then I’ve continued to help family and friends with their pups—whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them extra love while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my genuine patience and reliability. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs, from energetic puppies who love to play and learn, to senior dogs who may need a gentler pace and extra comfort. I’m attentive to routines, quick to notice changes in behavior, and committed to keeping your dog safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or sticking to a special routine, I’ll make sure your dog feels loved and you have peace of mind. I work from home 3 days a week and I’m usually home on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with pets. I love fitting in walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions throughout the day. Hanging out with dogs doesn’t feel like work—it’s one of the best parts of my routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine closely so they feel secure and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure doors and gates are properly secured, keep food and water fresh, and always pay attention to any special instructions you provide. If I’m welcoming pets into my home, I create a calm and safe environment where they’ll feel cared for and loved—just like family. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care while keeping their wellbeing at the center of everything I do.
About: Hi, I’m Skyy — a 27-year-old animal lover based in Tarpon Springs, Florida. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Whether your dog loves long walks, extra playtime, cuddles, or just someone patient and calm to keep them company, I adjust my care to fit their personality and needs. I pay attention to the little things — keeping routines consistent, making sure pets feel comfortable, and giving them the affection and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for by someone who genuinely loves what they do. One of the reasons I’m able to provide reliable and flexible pet care is because I work part time from home. This gives me a more open and adaptable schedule compared to many sitters and allows me to dedicate quality time throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 office schedule, I’m able to be more available for midday walks, last-minute needs, consistent potty breaks, and extra attention for pets who may need more companionship during the day. I genuinely enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, so dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine rather than feeling rushed or squeezed in. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a clean, calm, and trustworthy environment where pets can feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I have a fully fenced-in yard that allows dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise in a secure space with close supervision at all times. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust, which is why I focus on creating a stress-free and loving environment where animals feel comfortable and at home. I’m attentive, patient, and always mindful of each pet’s individual needs, routines, and safety. Whether it’s during walks, playtime, feeding, or relaxing indoors, your pet will always be cared for with love, responsibility, and close attention.

Loss of mobility, dementia and seperation anxiety. Pre Covid I had a small home business walking and caring for other's pets. Caring for you pet is my only job. My goal is to have your pet feel as safe and comfortable with me as they do with you. I recently retired and have a wide open schedule. I am very flexable with few if any commitments in my private life. Early and late hours are available I will treat you pet as if they were my own. I have the utmost respect for clients home as well as their pets routine and needs
About: I would go above and beyond, offering personalized attention and care for each dog under their watch. This could include activities like exercise, playtime, as well as extra touches like daily updates and photos for the owners. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. My husband is retired and at home as well. We love to care for dogs! We have a golden retriever that is very friendly and loves “ friends”. Our life is all about our pet and yours!!

About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid, and that lifelong love of pets is part of who I am. As a mother and pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and nurturing to care for your furry family members. I’ve raised and cared for both cats and dogs, and currently share my home with Penny, my lovable German Shepherd/Akita mix—so I’m very comfortable with big dogs. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. As a stay-at-home mom with a child in preschool, I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to offer quality pet care during the week. I’m available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9am to 1pm—perfect for midday walks, drop-in visits, or spending time with your pets while you're at work or running errands. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I truly enjoy the break it brings to my day. I’m committed to providing loving, reliable care during those hours and making sure your pets feel happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect for their space. I always follow instructions carefully and make sure your pets stay in their familiar, comfortable environment. I’m mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs your pet may have. As a reliable and responsible caregiver, I treat your home with the same care I’d want for my own. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I work hard to ensure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Sandy’s first drop in with Torie went great, she was a happy girl when we got home and she took to Sandy right away at our meet and greet. We are looking forward to many more visits from her and are very pleased with her as our pet sitter.”
“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: 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!
About: I have had all kind of pets my whole life ranging from 130 lb mastiff bulldog mix to a 7 lb cat and I also have plenty of experience with fishtanks as well so I would be happy to take care of those too I'm very passionate about the well being of animals and will not only give them the best care but rest assured they will get lots of love aswell. I'm never intimidated by cats with strong boundaries and large dogs, I actually prefer large dogs. I look forward to taking care of your pets thank you!!! I'm currently working Friday through Monday in the evenings so weekdays I am pretty free for all pet care, and can be free for morning visits Friday through Monday I'm not currently offering to board pets, definitely in the future when I get my own place as of now I am just doing house sitting and pet visits and I will always make sure to respect your property and rules of your house and make sure your animals get the best care possible!

Summer was wonderful with both my dog Layla and Cat Chester! Everyday she left a little note of how my pets were doing and lots of pictures! It gave me such comfort to know my babies were in good hands! Will be using her again to do drop in visits. Thank you again Summer!
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 ☺️
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!

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.

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.

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.
