About: I’ve been taking care of pets for the past ten years! I have experience with drop in visits, walking, and over-nights. I have sat for dogs ranging from 6 weeks old to 15 years old, I even have experience with medically complex animals. I’m currently working full-time job. so I am available for morning and evening drop-in’s. For the weekends I have full availability for your furry family. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to taking care of animals. I always make the area the animals is in is safe, and I always make sure the pet is feeling loved.

About: Update! June 4th, to all my regular clients, I have officially moved into our new place in Tavares and my address has been updated on my profile as well so when you book your stay, it will direct you to our new address. Thank you guys so much for constantly booking with me it means so much to our family! We absolutely love your pets! Here's some info about me to anyone who hasn't booked with before☺️ 🩷I always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’m a stay at home mom so I will be home the whole time with your fur babies! We typically get up around 6am so for your pups who are used to early morning potty breaks we got you covered! We live in a house with a fenced in backyard so plenty of space for your pups to run around! I have 3 kids also who love animals and will keep them very entertained as well!

Claudia is the best! Felix loved her almost from the first time she met him. She spent quality time with him, and for once he was not "mad" at me for leaving him when I returned home! That speaks volumes. I highly recommend Claudia!

Lauren was amazing! We were visiting from out of town and needed to find a dog sitter. Lauren was trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable, kind and genuine. We needed drop-ins for 2 days and she sent me check-ins, pictures and videos. She loved on our pooch and even left us some dog treats after her last visit. So sweet! We highly, highly, highly recommend her!

About: I have one dog that is turning 5 and have had her for over 4 years. I have taken care of other dogs in the family as well. I also have stayed over nights for extended family pets! I'm currently working part-time and in school Monday and Wednesday mornings. So I still have lots of time to spend with your pets! The safety and comfortability of your pet is my number one priority. So I will do my best to give them time to get used to me and prevent anxiety. I take my dog on several walks during the day when it isn't too hot (don't wanna burn any pet paws!) And I play with her all throughout the day. We practice tricks I've taught her and we snuggle up on the couch!

About: I’ve always loved animals, exactly the reason I’m a chicken father of 4. I enjoy taking care of my animals to the best of my abilities, so I figured I could extend the love and quality care I give to my animals to yours. I know it can be a challenge to find a pet sitter or walker that’s right for you. And even more difficult to find one you can trust with your four legged loved ones. If you ask my chickens, they’d say go with me (maybe just to overthrow my house but they do still agree I’m your guy). I’m capable of caring for dogs, puppies, senior dogs, most reptiles, hermit crabs, rodents, and cats. If your loved one has any special needs I’m more than happy to fulfill them. As of right now I’m free almost every day. Whether it be morning, noon, night, or for multiple days I have plenty availability for your little guys. I care for your pets, so if there’s anything in particular you wouldn’t want your animal doing just let me know! Other than that I ensure your bundle of joy is safe at all times.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs all my life. I’ve volunteered at the Lake County Animal Shelter before. I am patient and loving with animals. I’m currently available and flexible with my schedule. Call me or text me for any additional details regarding scheduling. Looking forward to working with you. I don’t currently have pets. So I can give all my attention to your furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard so leashes are required.

About: If you want to get away for that well deserved vacation or just a 3 day weekend and feel secure in knowing that your fur babies are being lovingly cared for, then I’m just who you’re looking for! I have loved dogs (and most animals) my whole life. I think of them as a family member, not as a pet. I will remain calm around your loved one as not to cause any anxiety. Even though I don’t have a dog at this time, I have had many dogs throughout my life. I can hardly remember a time that I didn’t have one. My best friend (a Boxer named CC) had quite a few medical problems from 2010 through 2015 and I had to give her an average of 17 pills a day. (Sometimes less). So I’m pretty experienced as far as that goes. My schedule is very flexible and I am very reliable. I am flexible about allowing your pet on furniture. If that’s not allowed I will follow your wishes 100%.

About: I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — that’s why I provide a safe, structured, and loving home environment where pets are treated like family, not “boarded animals.” I provide in-home pet care with a strong focus on safety, routine, and individualized attention. My home is designed to offer a calm, supervised environment where pets feel secure, understood, and comfortable throughout their stay. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified with over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in personal, rescue, and foster settings. I have worked with puppies, seniors, anxious pets, large breeds, and high-needs cases requiring rehabilitation, structure, and behavioral support. I also have extensive medical experience, including administering insulin for diabetic pets, subcutaneous fluids, oral and injectable medications, and specialized topical treatments. I am confident and gentle when caring for senior and medically complex pets. Fluent in English and Spanish, with additional working knowledge of Korean, I am able to clearly communicate and follow detailed care instructions from a wide range of pet owners. Daily Rates are based on a 24h stay (anything over each 24h is an additional stay) *All intact canines over the age of 18mo are a $50 daily rate and holidays $60 **All puppies under 18mo are a $50 daily rate and $60 on holidays ***All spayed/neutered canines over the age of 18mo who weigh over my Rover weight limit of 41 - 81lb is a $46 daily rate & $56 on holidays Canines over 81lb are a $50 daily rate and $60 on holidays ****Special needs pups that require medication is an additional $5 daily. Pick up & Drop Off Times are as Followed: Mon-Thurs from 10am - 9pm Fri-Sat 7am - 9pm Sun 12 noon - 7pm Daily Rates are based on a 24h stay (anything over each 24h is an additional stay) *All intact canines over the age of 18mo are a $50 daily rate and holidays $60 **All puppies under 18mo are a $50 daily rate and $60 on holidays ***All spayed/neutered canines over the age of 18mo who weigh over my Rover weight limit of 41 - 81lb is a $46 daily rate & $56 on holidays Canines over 81lb are a $50 daily rate and $60 on holidays ****Special needs pups that require medication is an additional $5 daily. Because I operate my pet care business from home, my daily schedule is fully centered around the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured routines, and timely attention throughout the day. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods. My schedule is built around feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, medication routines, and rest periods to ensure each pet receives reliable, attentive care in a calm and stable environment. Safety and structure are a top priority in my home. My property is fully fenced with additional enclosed outdoor areas designed for safe, controlled activity suited to different sizes, ages, and temperaments. Pets are always supervised in a calm, structured environment where their safety and comfort come first. This includes active oversight throughout the day to ensure each pet is secure, accounted for, and emotionally at ease. For the safety of all animals in my care, I do not accept reactive or aggressive dogs. Each pet is carefully screened through a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility and a safe, balanced environment. My own pets are professionally trained and well-socialized, contributing to a stable and peaceful home atmosphere.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Tavares

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Tavares on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,601 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tavares. 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 Tavares 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 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 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 Tavares with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tavares. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
