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!
“Claire was very communicative and went the extra miles to make our pups feel loved during her check ins. She was a great dog sitter and we’d recommend her for your furry friends!”
“Ashley accommodated my last minute request and I couldn't be more thankful. She took great care of our girl and made sure to leave me detailed notes about her visit and lots of pictures. I will definitely be using her for all my future pet care needs!”
About: I am currently raising my second labrador retriever. Jackson is a highly energetic, friendly dog that loves his friends and loves to make new friends! Additionally, to raising my own dogs, I have sat for my friend's dogs for years both in my home and in their own home. I currently work from home and will accommodate all of your furry friend's needs as best as I can! I am currently working from home and have a dog of my own that keeps me busy! I have a very flexible schedule, and I do my best to accommodate all requests. My own dog is very social and friendly. I will always make sure your dog is cared for as I would care for my own. I do not charge extra for feeding, refreshing the water, or administering oral medication. My own dog has the run of the house - he either runs around in the yard or snuggles on the couch at his leisure.
About: I provide reliable drop-in visits and dog walking with a focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own home. I have years of experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including pet sitting, training, and working in a veterinary office and animal shelters. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I offer afternoon and evening walks, as well as drop-in care. I work about 30 hours a week outside the home, but only in the morning/ early afternoons. I make sure each pet gets consistent, dependable care, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I follow all instructions closely and provide a calm, safe, and clean environment during each visit. My goal is to help pets feel secure and owners feel confident in their care.
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.
“I spoke with all of my fur balls and they unanimously agreed that they enjoyed Diane’s visits very much. She did a great job on taking care of my babies and giving me updates each time on how it went. I would definitely recommend her again!”
“Jenna has been amazing caring for our pets. Great communicator, very thorough and the pets adore her. We love to see the photos she sends during visits and they look so happy. highly recommended.”
“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’ve lived with dogs/cats all my life. I’ve babysat dogs/cats for a few years now throughout my high school years and now through adulthood. I myself have and take care of 12 reptiles and fuzzy animals! From dog sitting a Great Dane to a chihuahua size is not a problem for me!! I’m currently unemployed so I’m fully available to tend to any of your fur babies needs. Whether it’s check ins, walking, day and/or overnight sitting. I will take care of your fur babies will all love and as if they were my own. If you have a set schedule/routine I don’t mind at all following it.
“Jessica did an outstanding job taking care of our kitty for a few days. While you can tell she loves animals, she also treats caretaking seriously as a business. Jessica was right on time for each visit. She took the time to provide detailed feedback on each visit- not just providing cursory info. She was very responsive each time I reached out to her. I asked that she wear our cat out with play each time, and Jessica delivered. Can't recommend more highly. Your fur babies will be in trustworthy hands.”
“Reagan was amazing to us and to our dogs. This was our first time using Rover and she made us feel very comfortable. Communication was great and she updated us with photos daily. The dogs seemed really happy and well taken care of when we got home this evening so they obviously loved her too! We also had a couch that was unexpectedly delivered while we were away and she managed to get the heavy boxes inside without us even asking her to. So sweet! I can’t recommend her enough and will be using her anytime we go out of town in the future if she is available!”
“Valerie was wonderful with our kitties! Our cats are not used to strangers at all and Valerie was patient and allowed them to get used to her. Valerie visited our cats twice a day for a week and we got two wonderful pictures a day to keep us from missing them so much! My husband and I highly recommend Valerie. In fact, we are actively looking for a regular daily visit for the cats and were sad that Valerie's schedule wasn't going to work with ours! We only wish we could give Valerie more than a 5-star rating!”
“Amazing couple that were always on time and excited to see my dogs. My dogs can be a handful and cause a lot of mess and I came back from a vacation with a spotless home and my dogs were all happy. I will use them again and highly recommend.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing!!! Very professional and I loved all the videos she sent me. My pups looked so happy!!! I felt so at ease being away knowing she was taking good care of them!! We will recommend her to everyone and continue to use her services in the future!!! Thank you Laura!!!!”
“Christy is the absolute best pet sitter!!!! Our dog loves her! She is great at communicating which helps us relax while we are away. We know Ranger is in great hands!!! 1000000% recommend her!!!”

Pet 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 ☺️
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!

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 July 2026, there are 6,201 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
