About: I've taken care of multiple neighbors pets as well as friend's and family's pets for years. Love taking them out for walks and making them wag their tails! I’m currently a graduate student in PA school and am about to start my clinical rotations! Because my schedule varies from rotation to rotation, my availability may change throughout the year. Some rotations allow me to be home much more frequently than others. Before accepting any house-sitting request, I’ll always discuss my schedule with you to ensure it matches your pet’s potty break, exercise, and companionship needs. I only accept bookings when I know I can provide the level of care your pet deserves. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, potty breaks, and lots of love. I carefully follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, and house rules. Our old baby was blind and diabetic so I know how important a consistent schedule can be. I love providing regular updates with photos as well so you know how loved your fur baby is :)

Rachel was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated with photos. It's clear that she is an animal lover; she took her time and never rushed. I didn't have to worry about anything while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I will definitely be using her services again!

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.

Nicole stepped in to assist with our dog during a family emergency where I had to travel out of state at the last minute. Without hesitation she took care of our very particular Lacey - walks to the pond close by, and tackled the process of feeding Lacey - which is not easy - but handled it like champion! We are forever grateful for Nicole’s help and we will reach out to her in the future as our dog walking needs arise. AND she was kind enough to bring us ice cream treats 🍦

About: My name is Omi, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My love for pets began in childhood while growing up in Puerto Rico, where I was surrounded by cats, dogs and many other animals. Living with so many different animals taught me from an early age how to understand their unique personalities, care for their needs, and appreciate the unconditional love they give. My very first pet was a Chihuahua with a wonderfully spicy personality who quickly became a cherished member of our family. As I got older, I naturally became the person family, friends, and neighbors trusted to care for their pets whenever they traveled. I regularly looked after my aunt's dog, Rosie, cared for my neighbor's cat, Chloe, spent time with my cousin's Husky, Brooklyn, and cared for my sister's three cats by feeding them and making sure they were happy and comfortable while she was away. I truly believe every pet deserves to feel loved, safe, and cared for just as they would at home. I have a naturally nurturing personality and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, offering plenty of affection, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Today, I still enjoy caring for animals and currently have a betta fish of my own. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet cuddle, I will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I know how much our pets mean to us because they truly are family, and I would be honored to care for yours while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and spend only a few hours each day on my computer. This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pet with the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and explore, and there's also a nearby dog park for walks, exercise, and extra enrichment if desired. I make sure every pet receives plenty of love, playtime, affection, and one-on-one attention while respecting their individual personalities and routines. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I'll make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I carefully follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I strive to maintain the routine they're accustomed to. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship while ensuring they always have access to fresh water and a clean, safe environment. Communication is also important to me. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and receiving the same love and attention they would get at home. Every pet is unique, and I treat each one like a member of my own family.

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, had cats through childhood. I’ve pet sat for all of my friends and family and have been trusted to maintain their pets. I own two dogs myself, Willa and Toothless, that are both my best friends. I’m a dog lover through and through and will love you pets like my own! I currently work part-time and have the ability to create my own schedule so I am very capable of maintaining your needs and wishes for your fur bestie! I can check in on your pets while respecting your home. If you crate train the dogs, I can remain with them for a while so that they’re not alone and locked up all day. I love hanging out with dogs and can even bring my pup if they like company!

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

Carli was so wonderful with our fur baby. She was great communicating how he was doing while we went away. She not only took care of him but loved on him too, giving him belly rubs and petting him which he loves so much. She was a respectful house guess as well. We will book again for our next vacation.

This was my first time with her as a dog sitter and I had a great experience. I felt very confident throughout, especially because of her detailed updates, photos, and clear communication about anything that came up. She was reliable and easy to communicate with, and she took great care of my dogs. They were in excellent condition when I returned. I will definitely book her again in the near future.

About: I've grown up with pets around me my entire life. My first pets included a rainforest macaw named Peter, and a Shih Tzu named Bala. Since then we've owed many pets and they all have a special place in our hearts. There is always someone at home, so the dogs are never home alone. They are part of the family when they are in our care. The kids love the company too! I have a fenced in yard and we currently do not have pets as our 15 year old Chihuahua recently passed. Now we get to share memories with all the ones that come stay with us at our home.

Tanya is extremely professional, has a great memory, very reliable, and is super patient with new animals. She watched our three cats while we were out of town for the week and gave them some company. On first meeting her, she asked great questions regarding personality types and general instructions, and talked us through her soft approach to meeting our animals. She assured us that she’d devote her whole reserved time to sitting with them and letting them get to know her presence. Her notes were thorough and reassuring. We were very happy with her and even our shy cats liked her and allowed her pets. Would highly recommend.

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.

Absolutely the best, kindest, and loving caretakers we have had. They saved our vacation for us by taking on the job when our sitter quit without notice until I called her Wednesday night and we were to leave on Friday morning. They happily accepted and we got to leave as scheduled. Highly recommend Dennis and Rover.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 3,571 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.
