About: Mainly taking care of larger dogs, I also take care of medium and smaller dogs, along with the occasional cat. I wash them if needed, feed them with whichever brand is appropriate for them and make sure they feel loved the entire time they are in my care. Even though I am going to school full time, I will make time to show my dogs all the love in the world. All dogs deserve snuggles and kisses. I have two dogs, one small and one medium, that are friendly and can keep your baby company. They can be caged per request. Walking is done every few hours.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely just love being around them. I’m very active, love going on walks, and your dog will definitely get plenty of attention and exercise with me! I’ll treat your pup like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student at USF with a consistent schedule. I love to exercise and go for walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise with me if they like it! I do a lot of work from home, so will be home with your dog too! When I do have clinic or class, it’s only 2-4 hours at a time I will be gone. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re in my home. I love spending time with dogs, so they’ll get lots of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I also try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible so they feel relaxed and at home.

“Marisa is the absolute best. I’ve never been happier with a sitter. She is so good with my very anxious dog who takes awhile to warm up and my kitties all love her too! She went above and beyond. Even accepted a last minute drop in request because our flight was delayed. Highly recommend! I hope she’s available every time I need a sitter. Thanks SO much, Marisa!!”

About: I take care of my friends and Neighbors dogs when they go out of town or need their dogs walked when they are running late from work. I also have volunteered at a dog shelter as well and loved it. Animals have always been a huge love of mine and I love meeting different breeds of dogs I am a college student who plays baseball and loved dogs so since I’m off for the summer I decide to help people that aren’t able to walk their dogs and also babysit dogs when there parents are away. I am pretty available for most days and time. I have one loving dog who’s name is Lola. She is very friendly and would love some more pups to play with. I have an open back yard that gives bunches of freedom and plenty extra room in the house for another dog.
About: I've had fur babies for 14+ years now. Neighbors, friends and family members have trusted me with their love ones for periods of time and we have had an amazing connection and experience! I actually work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to watch the furbabies closely everyday and help taking multiple breaks during the day. Also, very flexible on making visits during the day. I have big fenced yard where babies can run and enjoy time outside. Love walking, so if visiting your babies at your place, I'd more than happy to provide whatever amount of walking they need to reset.

About: I am a licensed Veterinarian from Cuba and currently work in the United States as a Veterinary Technician while completing the process to validate my degree and obtain my U.S. veterinary license. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I provide professional care with a loving touch. My background includes administering medications, senior pet care, puppy training basics, and ensuring a safe and stress-free environment. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and expert attention.” I currently work part-time as a Veterinary Technician, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for pets during the day, evenings, and weekends. Pet care is a natural extension of my daily life—I’m already surrounded by animals at work and love spending my free time providing walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. Because my vet tech shifts are part-time, I can reliably dedicate consistent time every week to caring for your furry family members.” In my home, pets enjoy a clean, safe, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, exercise, and medications to keep them comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all instructions, ensuring walks, meals, litter cleaning, and lots of love so they feel secure and happy while their family is away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from volunteering at my local animal shelter for 2 years, to working as a kennel technician to training dogs at the facilities I used to work at. I’ve always grown up with dogs at a young age to my most recent dog Gracie, I’ve rescued dogs and helped them find homes or find a good no-kill shelter. I’ve omitted dogs the necessary medicines from pills to liquid medicine. I’ve stopped dogs fights that have gotten pretty bad and I’ve had to give them help before we could take them to the animal hospital. I am currently unemployed and I am moving at the end of year/ beginning and I’m looking for another job. So currently I have an open availability, if anything does come up I will definitely let you know. In my own home/other clients homes, I have and will always make sure the dog has emotional stability or help with creating an outlet for them. Whether that’s extra walks, runs, playtime, cuddles, and enrichment toys/activities. I will take care of your dog like it’s my own.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, so much so that I made it my career! I grew up with many pets, including a cocker spaniel, Dalmatian, two greyhounds, and a cat I picked out when I was just 6 years old! I’ve always known I wanted to work with animals from a young age, and have a career in zoo keeping! This means I worked with animals every single day, and have the training skills and experience to give your fur babies the best care! I’m currently working 4 days a week, with my days off being Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. Sometimes those change, so contacting me is the best way to know my availability! I will always provide the safest environment for your pets. I am very attentive to any behavioral changes and illnesses that may come up, and have the experience to deal with most situations. I will also always provide a high level of communication with you about your pets!
“Great experience with Emma ! She was on time, reliable, and took great care of our two dogs and cat. She was even able to get our usually anxious dog comfortable enough to go outside, which meant a lot to us. Thank you”
About: I have experience in both pet sitting and grooming. I have worked with dogs and cat of many different ages and personalities.

About: I am currently a military working dog handler and take quarterly vet and animal care classes. I enjoy spending time with all types of animals especially dogs and cats. I work full time in the military. I have weekends and holidays off and am off of work at 4 Monday-Friday. I like to run so if anyone would like the dog to get exercised I can run or walk the pets. I can have the pets at my house. If the owner feels comfortable I would be exercising the dog in the neighborhood or at a local dog park. I do have a cat at my house that is not aggressive with dogs or other cats and a dog that is also not aggressive. I do not have any other people that live in my household. When I have a client I provide the necessary care for the specific pet before and after work. I treat the pets as if they are my own and my weekly routine does not alter the high quality care I provide. I care for pets as the owners request. Each pet is unique and has a routine and I try to keep it as close to the norm for the pet as possible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Temple Terrace
Viviana was so great with Cheerio! Very tentative and kept me updated every visit and even stayed with her when Cheerio wasn’t feeling the greatest. She went above and beyond in her care with Cheerio and made her feel so loved. Definitely recommend having her watch your baby and will be using her again in the future!
abigail is the best rover sitter i have used. she provided lots of updates/pictures. she snuggled and provided some of the best care. went above and beyond taking our pups for a walk without being asked. she will forever be our sitter when we need someone to watch our dogs for us. we were out of town and needed an emergency sitter and she tackled the job like a champion. we cannot thank you enough abigail!
Ava is an absolute gem! She handled both of my dogs with so much patience and love, including my hyper dog who can be a handful. She matched her energy while still keeping things calm and safe for my other dog too. Ava communicated very easily throughout the time she cared for my dogs and followed every single care instruction I left to the letter. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pet and their safety. My dogs responded well to her and I'm looking forward to booking her again. Five stars all the way. Book her, you won't regret it!"
Avery was great. wonderful communication from the start. Appreciated time with meet n greet- and attention to my pup. I was in Clearwater for sisters surgery and Avery was very flexible given the unknowns in this crisis. Was great with my dog and I’d highly recommend!
I have to say that is the first time I use this app since I usually take my fur baby to a boarding hotel, but I have to say that Moli was AMAZING!!!! You can see that she loves animals and Max fell in love with her and looked so happy and comfortable in the pictures she sent me. If you need someone to take care of your baby while you are away she should be your go to sitter. Thank you again Moli, hope we’ll get another opportunity in the future for you to be close and able to take care of my baby again. Thank you! ♥️🐾

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.

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 Temple Terrace 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. 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 , 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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
