About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m also patient with puppies and energetic dogs, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets lots of love and attention. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding and can work around your pet’s routine! 🐾💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I’ll always communicate with you and make sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years. I have animals of my own and family and friends can rely on me to help watch their animals. I’m off every Monday-Wednesdays so it’s convenient to watch animals during the weekdays. However I do have a roomate that could help out as well. I live in a large neighborhood, perfect for walks or runs. I also have space for animals to play inside and I live close to a few trails I can take the dog(s) there as well.

About: As a pet-parent to two kitties, I understand the stress it is to find someone trustworthy of taking care of your pets. I have been a reliable pet-sitter since I was 15 and send photo updates daily. I have experience in all sizes, ages and breed for either cats or dogs. I frequently take care of my friends' and relatives' pets when they are out of town. I work part time so I have a lot of flexibility. I am currently working part-time and can commute anywhere within the Tampa/Brandon area. I believe pet care is a top priority for all pet parents and I am dedicated to making it mine as well. Currently, I own two kittens who are my best friends. I found them on the street when they were 2 months and have nursed them to health since then and now they are hyper, happy cats. Therefore, I have experience in giving them all forms of medicine if needed.
About: I have had a dog since before I can remember, and my mom has since upgraded to being in a two puppy household! I love all dogs, and especially love the big ones! I am a writer, working when and where I am able! My schedule is open to odd jobs and- of course- hanging out and caring for pets. I am very familiar with puppies, as my friend, as well as my sister, adopted their puppies, Hank and Willow, around the same time. My parents and aunts have older dogs, and I grew up with a Black Lab. Please know that I love all dogs and I will treat them all as I do my families'.
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!
“Carley came right on time and followed the directions we had for Peenut. She hung out and played with him for the full time slot and he was safely back in his pen when we arrived home. I REALLY appreciate Carley being available on a holiday!!! Thanks so much for helping us out!!”

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! ♥️🐾

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

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.
