“This is our second time having Ashley watch our girls and she has quickly become our go-to. She is caring and attentive. Her updates are detailed and it feels like we have a friend watching our girls who really cares about them. It makes us feel so much more comfortable when we are travelling knowing Ashley takes such good care of them even on a 30 min drop in. Absolutely, without a doubt, recommend her for your fur babies!!!”

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.

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!
Ashley was WONDERFUL! She was attentive to our cats and ensured they were fed, watered, and loved in our absence. Ashley even went out of her way to clean a mess one of the kitties made. She provided exceptional and detailed check-ins, to include many, many pictures of our babies. Most of all, Ashley was attuned to the kitty's various personalities and met them where they were. When one wanted to be alone, she left her be. When another wanted to follow her around, she let him. Ashley also never shyed away from giving our babies play time and affection. I cannot recommend her enough.
Erin did a wonderful job caring for our cats while we were away for a few days. We had found out one of our cats was sick a few days prior and she did a great job checking in on them and helping with administering his probiotics. Overall I would highly recommend, she makes sure to keep you updated and is highly professional. :)
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 ☺️

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,138 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tarpon Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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 Tarpon Springs. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
