“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!”
“Melissa is wonderful! Our cats are very shy, but we always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. Melissa takes great care of them - they’re well-fed, calm, and everything is always clean and tidy when we return. We really appreciate her attention to detail.”
“We were a little uneasy using the Rover app for the first time but needed a last minute sitter for our dog and cat. Linda was amazing and exceeded expectations. She took great care of our animals, communicated with us and followed up multiple times throughout the visit. Our dog was a little timid at first but quickly warmed up to Linda and loved the attention. Thank you and we will definitely book again ❤️”
“Jillian is amazing with my senior dog! She’s getting older and doesn’t like everyone but loved Jillian. Jillian even went above and beyond to tell me the neighbors had a cat stuck in their basement, she’s a true animal lover and good person!”
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.
“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!”
“I had to leave my two dogs and one cat for a small, weekend trip a couple hours away, so finding someone who could watch them was stressful. I live with my grandmother who watched all three animals in the evening, so I just needed someone to drop-in and quickly let them out. I read Aldyn’s bio and thought that she sounded pretty qualified, so I scheduled a meet and greet and couldn’t have been more thrilled and confidant afterwards. Once I left for the trip, I was in constant communication with Aldyn. She was very communicative and forward with me, which I greatly appreciated. She provided my babies with the best care out there, which relieved a lot of stress for me. Knowing that she was there providing my babies with excellent love and care, even if it was just for a drop-in visit, was awesome. Aldyn was also extremely understanding my situation and was very accepting. I appreciated that very much. I highly recommend Aldyn for any type of service you may require! She is truly exceptional!”

“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.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, and I’m very protective of my own girl, Niya. I know how hard it is to trust just anyone with your dog, so I treat every pup with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me. I recently moved and I am new to Clearwater / Tampa area and my schedule is very flexible. I am also open to working with your schedules. Your pets needs are very important to me. I can do walks, play time, feeding and anything you may need you may ask and we will work something out.
“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!”

I was an animal care attendant at the animal hospital since September 2022 before I am promoted to being technician assistant since March 2026.

Kyla is phenomenal. She's quick to respond and is thorough and thoughtful with her responses. Incredibly sweet and our animals love her! She has the best Rover cards and getting pictures of my animals throughout the day from her visits are the best! 10/10, best Rover experience. Kyla is who you want to watch your pets!
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.

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.
