“From the moment we met Lauren we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Very friendly and engaging, listened to the different diets our cats have to be on and followed the instructions to the letter! We also have an anxious pup when the storms start and she administered her anxiety medication perfectly. Kept in touch with regular updates including photos every day. Came back to a clean house with very happy and contented fur babies. Lauren is a star and we will DEFINITELY ask her to sit again when we have some vacation. Thank you Lauren x”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl, and we got our first cat just a few years ago but they’ve seem to have fallen in love with me lol. My main concern is making sure your pet is happy and comfortable, doesn’t matter the situation. I’m very gentle with them and I always make sure to communicate or ask when necessary, I don’t want to assume and be wrong or not inform you if something happens. **Please do not book boarding for the weekend if your pet cannot handle being alone for 12-13 hours (in regards to going to the bathroom), as I work every weekend** I am in college and I work full time. I typically work 3-12 hour shifts a week, but my class schedule is more flexible. Please just ask if a date/time works and I will let you know! I’m in an apartment so I don’t have a lot of space inside. The complex does have a little fenced in dog area, and there are some dog parks in the area that I would be willing to go to if you have a more active pet. I don’t have anything toxic in the apartment, or in a place they could reach at least (medicines/rubbing alcohol, that sort of stuff). I also like going on longer walks, 20-30 min if the weather is nice.
About: Throughout my entire life I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small, from neighbors Great Danes to family rabbits, I’m able to handle animals of all shapes and sizes and look forward to meeting your pet no matter the animal! ♡ I do work part time at Outback Steakhouse and also do pet care to help pay for all of my bills due to this I’m more busy on the weekends and tend to struggle booking around then but I will do my best to accommodate and be flexible for your fur and furless babies!!! In the past I have had animals that were both inside and outside as well as animals who were muzzle, and crate trained meaning I have experience handling both as well as experience walking a variety of dogs. Currently I live with my cat Nugget who I handle all daily care for!
“Tina was so incredible with our doggie. It was her first time using a house sitter and she really got along with Tina! Tina also did such a great job taking her on her walks and playing with nala and her toys! And we loved all the photos and updates so we felt so calm being away and leaving her at home. Thanks so much Tina!! You were the best!!”
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, as I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up. I have 5 years of professional pet sitting experience and am skilled in puppy training basics (housebreaking, crate training, basic commands). I love working with shy or fearful pets and have endless patience helping them come out of their shells. My clients say I have a natural gift for reading animal body language and making pets feel safe and loved. I work part-time as a court reporter, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I can accommodate morning, midday, evening, or overnight visits, whatever works best for your pet's routine. My remote work setup means I'm often home and can provide extended visit times or last-minute care when you need it. I'm also available on weekends and holidays when finding reliable care can be challenging. I offer flexible care options depending on your pet's needs and your preferences. Whether visiting once daily or staying overnight, I prioritize your cat's comfort by maintaining their exact routine in the familiar environment of your home. I'm conscientious about home security, keeping doors locked, preventing escapes, and never advertising my or your absence. I'm also respectful of your space, keeping everything clean and following any household guidelines you provide. Daily updates with photos give you peace of mind while you're away.
About: I volunteer frequently at shelters/farms nearby and am trusted to watch my loved ones’ animals frequently. I have learned how to care for animals with disabilities through my volunteering and am comfortable with very specific instructions if your pet requires them. I do a lot of dog sitting for neighbors/friends including dropping in to hang out with their pets and taking them for nice long walks. I am currently in a period between graduating from a professional program and starting a fellowship so I am free to drop in frequently! I am available to come in multiple times per day if needed. I love to play with animals and keep them entertained with toys! I like to stay active and bring pets along for walks if that is what you would like. I give lots of attention and pets to all animals and feel that they deserve lots of affection.
About: Experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, I provide loving, reliable care, personalized attention, playtime, cuddles, and a safe, comfortable environment. In safe home I currently work full-time, but I still have plenty of time and help available to provide excellent care for your pets. I’m especially available on weekends and holidays I am available to care for pets both in my home and in clients’ homes. Pets will have free range of the house and receive plenty of love, attention, and comfort. While I do not currently have a yard, pets will still receive plenty of outdoor time, walks, and exercise as needed.
“Milli was a great sitter, and took excellent care of my girl Nike. Even though she knew I’d be unreachable, she stayed in constant communication, and gave my girl all the love and affection she’d receive if I was there. I’ve already rebooked her for my business trip next month!”
“Sammie is great! She is kind and always responded quickly when we reached out to her. She sent photos and updates from every visit which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely book with her again! Thank you Sammie!”
About: I have been dogsitting and catsitting since I was 15. Many people have relied on me to take care of their furry family and love them like they're my own. I also am an aspiring veterinarian so this is something I am very passionate about. I am a college student, I have class during the day. After class, in between classes, and on weekends I am always looking for something to do. Taking care of your pets would be an honor! I will treat your pets like they're my own. I have two dogs at home and I would love to take care of more! I will love on them and give them a safe environment.
About: I have had all types of animals my life including: dogs, turtles, pig, ducks, bearded dragons and cats. I love fur babies! We have had family dogs from puppies to seniors and am comfortable around big dogs! I currently am a full time student and love to spend time outside soaking up the FL sun! I enjoy outdoor activities including running, camping, the beach and nature preserves. Caring for pets requires a lot of patience and attention to detail. Willingness to give your undivided attention is a must and understanding not only of the animal itself, but of the owner/ animal relationship to be able to maintain proper upkeep of pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind: pit bulls, chihuahuas, bulldogs, mixed breeds, and hunting dogs. I even cared for a pregnant dog through her pregnancy, and when my own English Bulldog had 12 puppies, I fed and looked after every one of them overnight until they were three months old and ready for their new families. I’m comfortable with big personalities, special needs, and everything in between I’m currently a college student working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule built into my week. I’m available after 4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, after 5pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and free all day on weekends; so your pup gets consistent care and playtime throughout the week When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect as my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I’m comfortable with crates, leashes, and gates, and I always make sure doors are securely locked before and after visits so your pet stays safe.
“Katie is the best!! She helped us with drop in visits for Bailey. She was kind, considerate, dependable and sweet with our pup. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Ariella took great care of our very shy and anxious dog Maddie. She was patient and sweet with our girl and even spent extra time during her visits with Maddie to help her feel more comfortable. Will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I've grown up with dogs in my family since I was really young, but in the past 5 years of my life I've taken a liking to really understanding dogs and the care and love they need! I rescued Keto in August 2022 and ever since then I have been motivated to give any pets in my life all the love they deserve, I hope you can rely on me for any kind of care needed for your fur baby, small or large! I'm here to accommodate for whatever you need! I am currently seeking anyone who would like to give me some more experience with their animals so I can have the best knowledge with any type of care. I'm currently working full time with fluctuating hours whether its morning mid-day or night, however, I am more than willing to help out with pets around my schedule! my daily routine with Keto is easy and laid back and definitely allows me to fit more pet care in around my schedule! I live on the second floor of my apartment, but have easy access to grass and lots of land for dogs to be let outside with my supervision. I also take my dog to a nearby park if that's something you are comfortable with me doing with your pups! I can also offer lots of play time and snuggles too!

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! ♥️🐾

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Temple Terrace stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 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.

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 Temple Terrace with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
