About: I’m a kind, calm, reliable, and caring person who absolutely loves animals, especially dogs! 🐶❤️ I have about 4 years of experience dog sitting, doing check-ins, and caring for pets in their homes. I grew up around animals and have always loved taking care of them. During college, I regularly helped friends and others with their pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll always treat your pet with the love, patience, and care they deserve! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty open availability! I am available any week day, will let you know if any days do not work for me! I am open for weekends and any week long stays. I provide pet care exclusively in the comfort of your home, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment while you’re away. I’m available for overnight house sitting, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, medication administration if needed, and general companionship!

About: Animals have been a major part of my life for decades, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic pets who love playtime and adventure to seniors who need a little extra patience and TLC. My background includes owning highly trained working dogs, including an AKC Master Hunter and a trained bird dog guide dog, as well as fostering senior and rescue animals with unique needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When your pet is with me, they won’t just be watched—they’ll be genuinely cared for. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a true priority rather than trying to fit it around a busy workday. I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine and schedule, whether that means early mornings, midday visits, evening care, or extra time with pets who don’t like being alone for long periods. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I always take the time to make thoughtful introductions and get to know each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, favorite things, and little quirks. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their normal routine so they feel happy and secure while you’re away. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for with genuine love and attention.

About: I've taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, I loved going to my mom's vet clinic and helping her care for the animals. We always had pets with a variety of special needs in our home! I always keep in contact with my mom when pet sitting, so a vet is always on call! I'm currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule! I live in St. Pete but work in Tampa, so I am able to help out pet parents all over the bay area! I live in a very walkable neighborhood and have access to a shared back yard for your pup to play in! I often schedule play dates with my neighbor's friendly dogs to keep your pet company if your pup likes to socialize! I have a cuddly cat in my home that gets along with other pets! I run and walk regularly, if your pup enjoys it I'll take them on my morning run and we'll be sure to go on lots of walks in our shady neighborhood!

My sister recently adopted a sweet little angel kitty Lola and I’ve helped my old roommates out with their cats as well!

I will not bring pets into my home but can definitely visit yours and your fur baby as needed! I look forward to meeting you and your fur child! • 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtim and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles.

About: I’ve always helped out with animals in my community. I volunteered at a dog kennel in highschool, and my neighbor growing up traveled a lot so I would feed and walk his dog every morning for nearly two years along with caring for my own dog. I work from home partially, and have a part time job in the weekends. My schedule changes frequently but I have plenty of spare time and am always willing to make arrangements for work. I do not offer in home services, but I am comfortable pet sitting or caring for your pets while away! I love long walks, and chilling on the couch so no matter how high or low energy your pet may be I’m willing to accommodate what’s best for you and them :).

About: I grew up with Wheaten terriers so I am unphased by face kisses, jumping and general stubbornness. I love dogs and will happily take them for walks or throw a ball for them and generally love them like they were my own. I recently moved to the area and setting up my home and ceramics studio. I'm generally pretty flexible and love animals. I'm happy to do drop in visits and walks to help keep your pets happy while you're away. I take pet safety seriously and will abide by any restrictions while I'm in your space or with your pet. I will proactively watch for situations with other animals if we're on a walk or at a dog park as well as anything they shouldn't eat.

About: I have always had a dog or cat in my life. I recently lost my dog that I had for 8 years, but I grew up taking care of my family dogs too. I like getting outside and going on walks, whether it’s around the neighborhood or getting in the car and discovering a new trail. I work full time in Bradenton but always make time for furry friends. I like long walks to explore the neighborhood or discover new trails with your dog. For cats, I make sure to play with them to burn energy and keep them happy, or leave them be if they prefer their space. I will treat your home with respect, and provide great care for your animals. I will make sure your dog(s) get walked on the schedule you provide, get fed appropriately, and get plenty of play time and attention.

Lexi is a lifesaver! We needed someone asap and she went above and beyond to help. She instantly became our go-to caregiver for our dog and we feel blessed to have found her. From the start, our dog was so excited to meet her as if he's known her forever. Our dog is very friendly, but every once in a while he meets someone and it's as though he/she is a long lost friend. Lexi is one of these people. A new friend to our Oakley and our family for sure!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Tierra Verde

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Tierra Verde is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 6,084 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tierra Verde. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Tierra Verde 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.

To find sitters in Tierra Verde with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tierra Verde. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
