About: I’m a FVMA Certified Veterinary Assistant with hands-on clinic experience, but at the heart of it, I just genuinely love animals. I’ve worked with playful puppies, anxious dogs, seniors, and post-op pets, and I treat every one like they’re my own. I’m comfortable giving medications and monitoring for health concerns, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe. My goal is for your dog to feel loved, calm, and completely at home while you’re away. I’m currently a freshmen in college but the majority of my time is spent at in my dorm doing online schoolwork! That being said, I can easily care for your pet while also completing my schoolwork as needed. However, your pet will always be my #1 priority! My schoolwork revolves around my great time management skills, that’s why this job is perfect for me! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as instructed and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar space. I’m attentive to behavior changes and health concerns thanks to my veterinary clinic experience. I respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and send regular updates (maybe even some cute pictures of your furry friend) so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away.
“Lola is incredibly sweet and took great care of our dogs. She is very trustworthy, have great communication and goes beyond and above in her services. I would definitely book her again. Recommended 100%.”
“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’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, starting with my own dog, Snoopy, who was a part of my family from the time I was just a one year old until I turned 19. I have also owned a Chinese water dragon Lizard, an African sideneck turtle, and fish. Over the years, I’ve gained experience in feeding, walking, bathing, playing with, and providing care for pets. At 15, I began caring for pets beyond my own, including both cats and dogs. Animals have always been a source of joy and comfort in my life, and I truly love taking care of them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I am currently a student at the University of South Florida. Monday-Thursday I have 2 classes, and Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I have no classes. Each class lasts from 50 minutes to an hour and a half, so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood near campus, where I often see people out walking their dogs. Pets are welcome to relax on my bed and couches, but if you prefer otherwise, I’m happy to accommodate your preferences to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for.
“Bekah did wonderful with my pup! Was very attentive to him and his needs. She also left a detailed note and took lots of pictures. Would definitely book her again! :)”
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. Happy to give them company and share trust with you that your babies and home will be safe once I leave.
“Very polite and responsive. Even asked if she could bring her sister along which was awesome of her! Chunk’s energy threw her for a loop, so I’m glad it all worked would! Definitely recommend!”
About: Aside from owning and training a large breed Labradoodle and small, demanding dachshund, I have also boarded German shepherds, border, collies, golden retrievers, golden doodles, labradors, and many more! With me, they will get all of the attention and all of the love! My entire routine is based around my dogs. They get their morning walks (before I have my coffee), snuggles mid day, and plenty of playtime in our big fenced in yard. Dinner is always scheduled and a Long walk is routine to help them digest. I choose boarding in my own home where I am comfortable, and I make the doggies comfortable as well! We have a large fenced in backyard and a large front yard keeping us away from our tiny road. We are far from any main road and live extremely safe community.
“Lynne and her husband provided exceptional care for my pets at my home while I was away. They were dependable, professional, and showed genuine care and love for my animals. It was such a relief knowing they were being walked, fed, and looked after so well. They kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease during my time away. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a tidy home—what more could I ask for? I highly recommend Lynne and her husband for anyone needing reliable and compassionate pet care. I will definately be booking with them again. Five stars!”
“First time using Ariadna's services and I recommend 100%! It is always stressful to have a stranger come to your house specially when you are not there. But Ariadna made it super easy and from the get go I knew I could trust her. My Labs loved her. Definitely will use her services again!”
“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”
“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!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have 13 years of hands on experience caring for them. I do not live with pets however me and my family have a dog that lives with them, Lollipop, a one year old Samoyed full of energy and personality, so I know firsthand what it takes to keep a young pup happy and worn out. I also cared for my Yorkie for 10 years until she passed in 2024, which taught me a lot about senior dog care, patience, and picking up on the little cues that show how a dog is really feeling. Whether your dog is a bouncy puppy or a mellow senior, I'll treat them with the same attention and love I give my own. I work full-time during the day, so I'm most available evenings after work and all day on weekends. I'm consistent with my routine, so walks, feeding, and playtime happen around the same times each day, and your pup will always know what to expect. I live in an apartment, so there's no private yard, but I make up for it with frequent walks and trips to nearby dog-friendly spots. My place is calm, clean, and pet-proofed, with no toxic plants or loose cords, and I stay within arm's reach during visits rather than leaving pets unsupervised for long stretches.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for many years and have experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving dogs attention, and keeping their normal routines while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, so I’m patient and attentive to their individual routines. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and boarding depending on the day. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I have two friendly dogs of my own and have experience caring for pets for friends and family. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also happy to provide updates while you’re away.

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. 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.

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