About: As a Certified Master Dog Trainer, caring for dogs is more than just a job—it’s what I do every day. I have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also own a German shepherd and a Belgian Malinois who both are high-energy dogs, so I’m very comfortable handling active breeds and making sure they get the physical and mental enrichment they need while staying safe and having fun. I’m available Monday through Friday with flexible daytime and afternoon scheduling. If you have a specific time in mind, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I know trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“They did an AMAZING job with our trio of kitties. They even got our grumpy old cat who doesn’t trust anyone to come around :) I would totally recommend them to anyone. They took care of our kitties as if they were their own and were great about communication and keeping an eye on everything.”
About: I have taken care of not only my dogs but I have also been relied on to take dogs out during the day, feed and walk them by friends and coworkers! I have been an animal lover from a young age and am open to take care of any animal! When your animal is in my care I will make sure that that animal is safe at all times, I am experienced with all types of leashes and harnesses and I will ensure that your pets safety is number one. I am currently working full time, but I am free after work and on the weekends, for me it is a priority to take care of your pets to the best of my ability, I am free Monday - Friday 5pm and on Saturday and Sunday any time I am not currently offering in home and client home care. I am working on eventually being able to provide these services down the road.
“Teri was terrific with our little man. We are visiting Florida so was unsure how it would work in our rental but it was great! She even gave him a new toy! Will definitely request her again when we need good care for Deuce.”

About: Pet Experience: • Experience caring for dogs of various sizes and energy levels • Comfortable with feeding schedules and daily routines • Enjoy walks, playtime, and providing companionship • Patient, attentive, and focused on your dog’s comfort and safety • Regular photo and message updates for pet parents Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m an online student with a flexible schedule. I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs, so walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins are easy to accommodate throughout my day. I can provide reliable care and plenty of attention while keeping your dog’s routine as consistent as possible When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure.

“10 out of 10, 5 stars ? Stacy did a wonderful job caring for my two cats. She treated them like her own and even got them to play with her which made my heart so happy. She sent lots of pictures and left the LB area clean and even brought in my mail! Hoping to get on her books for next month!”
“Taylor looked after my sweet baby, Tofu, for a week, and I never once felt worried. Tofu looked like she was having the best time, and it was clear she was well loved and cared for. Taylor is so sweet, kind, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry friend!”
“Maria was wonderful with Penny for a few drop in visits while I was away! Penny is a senior cat who hides a lot and sometimes soils outside of the box when stressed. Maria always made sure to find where she was hiding, bring extra food and water closer to her, and give her lots of love. She even cleaned up the accidents which was so helpful. Maria is our go-to any time we travel!”
About: Hi, I’m Winter! I may not have years of formal pet care experience, but animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a proud dog mom to three large pups, so I know what it takes to handle energetic dogs, daily walks, and lots of playtime. I’ve also helped care for friends’ and family members’ pets from time to time, and I love being that trusted person they can count on. What I bring to the table is reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’ll make sure to follow your pets’ routines, keep them safe, and give them plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make it a priority to keep pets on their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and stress-free. My schedule can vary a bit since I also work part-time, but I usually have a little more flexibility Monday–Thursday for drop-ins, walks, and shorter stays 😊 Fridays–Sundays can be a bit harder to guarantee unless I’m asked in advance, especially for overnight house sitting. I’ll always do my best to accommodate requests when I can, and communication is very important to me so I’ll always be upfront about my availability! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first with me. At my home, I have a fenced yard and a secure dog run so pups can enjoy fresh air and play in a safe space. I’m also very familiar with crate training and caring for dogs with separation anxiety — my own crew (a Staffy, a Bully mix, and a wolf hybrid) are crated while I’m at work, and my boyfriend comes by during the day to let them out, play with them, and give them love until I get home. I make sure my dogs get regular exercise through solo dog park trips and daily walks, and I always take the right precautions if the weather is hot to keep them safe and comfortable. On top of that, I’ve fostered dogs and rescued kittens, which taught me a lot about patience, safety, and adjusting care for different personalities and needs. Whether I’m looking after your pets in my home or yours, you can count on me to keep them safe, cared for, and loved — and I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how they’re doing.
“Callie was wonderful! She communicated clearly, sent great photos, and took excellent care of our pups while we were out of town. She was always on time and made us feel completely at ease. We’d definitely book with her again.”

About: Hello everyone! I am Cortenay, and from the age of 10 I have been caring passionately for animals. I have always felt that I have a special connection with them and understand them. Finally in my early twenties I began caring for them professionally at Mulberry Grove animal hospital. I started in the hospitals boarding wing where I provided personal around the clock care to all of the beautiful fur babies that came to stay. I fell in love with this being that caring for pets has always been my first love. My final chapter in the veterinary field was when I was promoted to a veterinary technician, where I administered medication and cared for special needs pets as well. In conclusion, I have made the decision to step out of the corporate world of care and actually be able to give "up close and personal" care for someones best friend/friends. Where we will be happy and comfortable together in the comforts of home. My schedule is open! If I have a spot open at the time and day that's convenient for you and your furry friend, I will gladly make it happen. I have a beautiful fluffy frenchie, and a short haired pointer. They are extremely friendly and structured dogs. My home is very spacious, and I have plenty of room for tail wagging visitors.
“Thank you so much for the Excellent care of my fur babies. Pics were sent of drop in visit. My pups enjoyed it. I will definitely book her again when I go on vacation.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tavares
Becky did an excellent job taking care of our dog. During her visits she provided us with real time photos that showed how happy our dog was! More importantly, she’s has a wealth of experience and knowledge on how to provide care for dogs. If you need a dog sitter, I highly recommend that you contact Becky. You will not be disappointed!
Andrea has been Dizzy & Archie's sitter for a while now and we all couldn't be happier! She's almost always been available to us even on holidays, she's punctual, thorough, and she really seems to love what she does. Leaving my boys is always tough, but knowing we're in good hands with Andrea takes a lot of worry away.
Carson went above and beyond. Teddy was anxious and did not want to get in or out of his crate. Carson was patient with him and made him feel comfortable and went the extra mile to set up a safe space for him in the bathroom. She was super kind and offered grace. I will absolutely book her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Tavares is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,573 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tavares. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Tavares 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
