About: Hey pet parents! If you need a trustworthy animal sitter and/or walker, I’m you’re girl! I have plenty of experience caring for dogs. I have dog sat for several of my neighbors in the past. I know how to care for them and can even train them to learn basic commands. I, myself, have an 8 year old German Shepherd, who only gets the best treatment. I greatly enjoy walking dogs, as I know they spend most of their time at home. Every walk is an adventure for them, as well as necessary exercise. I will stick strictly to any schedule you have set for your pup, and do my best to keep them happy and healthy. We are so lucky to have the loyalty and love of these animals. I want to give them the treatment they truly deserve. I will work hard to earn the trust and friendship of any dog. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for your fur baby! I’m usually available on weekends and weekdays after 5 pm. I am well versed in body language to ensure your pet is comfortable. I will stick closely to your schedule and try to maintain a sense of familiarity for your pet to give them the best experience possible.
“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.

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!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
