About: My Pet Care Experience I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, my family raised a high energy Jack Russell Terrier, which taught me a lot about patience, smart play styles, and managing bold personalities. Today, my fiancé and I share our home with a happy Golden Retriever/Labrador mix and a 2 month old kitten. Caring for them daily keeps me sharp on big-dog stamina, training reinforcement, and the delicate routine needed for a growing kitten. What Sets Me Apart Multi-Breed Comfort: I am equally comfortable with small, fast-paced terriers and large, strong retrievers. Puppy & Kitten Experience: Raising a 2 month old kitten means I am used to active supervision, tracking strict feeding schedules, and managing young pet energy. Owner Peace of Mind: Because I am a pet parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind. I focus on clear communication and sending frequent photo updates so you know they are safe and happy. My Availability & Schedule I offer flexible daytime and evening care tailored around my weekly class and work schedule. I am strictly available for Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits during the following times: Sunday & Monday: Fully available all day and evening. Tuesday: Available for morning and afternoon visits. Wednesday: Fully available all day and evening. Thursday: Available for afternoon and evening care. And weekends if needed. Because I prioritize the safety and comfort of my own pets at home, I do not offer overnight house sitting or boarding services. This allows me to dedicate 100% of my energy to focused, high-quality walks and quick drop-in care for your fur babies! My Approach to Client-Home Care & Safety Because I strictly offer Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits, my priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable right in their own familiar environment while respecting your home. For Drop-In Visits (Dogs & Cats): Arrival & Security: I enter your home carefully to ensure pets don't slip out the door. I strictly follow your entry, alarm, and lock-up instructions. Routine & Care: I stick closely to your specific feeding, fresh water, and medication schedules. For cats, I handle litter box scooping and clean up any messes. Attention & Play: I dedicate my full visit to keeping your pets company, offering plenty of focused playtime, scratches, and mental stimulation. For Dog Walking:Safety First: I always check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before stepping outside. I keep dogs on a secure, short leash and avoid interactions with unknown dogs on the street. Weather & Hydration: Living in Florida, I make sure the pavement isn't too hot for their paws, keep walks a comfortable pace, and ensure they have plenty of fresh water immediately when we get back. I always wrap up every single visit by ensuring your home is perfectly locked up and sending you a quick summary with cute photo updates!
About: Hi! I'm Ashley, a dedicated pet lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Friends and family have trusted me for years to pet sit, whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving their pets the love and attention they deserve. I'm a proud dog mom to 3 girls, a 12 year old lab mix, a 4 year old yellow lab and a 3 year old lab/gsp, so I'm very comfortable with large, strong, and high-energy dogs. I understand their need for structure, exercise, and mental stimulation —and I'm always happy to keep up! I also have plenty of experience with puppies and know how important it is to be patient, consistent, and attentive to their unique personalities. My experience doesn't stop with dogs and cats-l've also cared for a bearded dragon and am confident in caring for yours whether it is a turtle/tortoise, fish or bearded dragon. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule on the weekends and plenty of availability to give your pet the time and attention they need. I also have a reliable vehicle, so I'm dependable and able to accommodate your needs. When your pet is with me, they'll be treated like family. I'll follow your routines closely to keep things consistent and stress-free, and your pet will get lots of love, playtime, and attention. I also make sure to keep you updated so you always feel connected while you are away. I work full time with weekends off, with my own adventures, I know how important it is to have someone to be able to check in on your pets. I want to be able to provide that for others. I will keep as close to their routine as possible. If I need to take them on a walk to potty or let them roam their own yard, I will do.
“Krystal was amazing with our dogs. Both are large breed dogs. She managed their unique care schedule with ease and updated us during our mini vacation. Will be reaching back out to her for future needs.”
“We are so thankful for Courtney! Our dogs love to see her, and we feel such peace of mind traveling when she is caring for our furry family. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Kacey was a very excellent caregiver to Sophie, as usual! I was able to have so much fun on my vacation knowing Sophie was being well taken care of back home. Sophie appreciated all the pets and treats!!! We will be booking with Kacey again 😊”
“Ivana was quick to get back to me and was able to accept on short notice. She did a great job with my dog and communicated with me every step of the way. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: We come from a loving pet family and love meeting new ones. My name is Mike, my wife is Ruby, and our son Lincoln, who is now in the Navy. We treat our two dogs like children. There are toys all over the house to play with and whenever they are tired they lay on our recliners or couch to sleep. We are able to follow any schedule and can provide medication if needed. Your loved ones will be treated like family ❤️ I will provide hands on care such as playing, walking or anything extra required. There will always be either myself or my wife at home. I work during the week days but my wife Ruby is home during the day. During the weekends we both are home. We have a fenced in yard and a park near by that we can walk to. Our two male dogs are neutered and we will only care for one family's pet(s) at a time.
“Carlie was great with my 2 dogs! She showed up timely, sent detailed notes for each drop-in and loved on my girls when I couldn’t be home to do it myself. She came in to let them out to potty, feed them and provide medication to one. Even my little skittish baby liked Carlie soon meeting her!”
About: I volunteer with cats and dogs at Leesburg Humane Society. I work one day a week at an up-and-coming petting zoo. D Ranch has goats, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and dogs. I am currently semi-retired, and I have time and love to offer your dog or cat. I will treat each animal with great care and respect. I will treat your home and pets with great respect and professionalism. I have reliable transportation. Safety of your fur baby and myself will be a great priority.
“We are new to the area and were feeling anxious about finding a pet sitter that would be kind and loving to our babies. We could not be happier that we found Jaclyn on Rover and gave her the chance. From our first time doing a meet & greet, she was genuine, honest, and explained everything she would take care of while we were out of town. Our 3 kitties loved her from the moment they met her. She did a wonderful job of sending us daily reports and photos of our babies. She checked in daily through the Rover app, always on time. One thing that stood out was how detail-oriented Jaclyn is and how she paid attention to a subtle difference in one of our cats. She reported that our 17 year old kitty was breathing differently and sent us a video. Sure enough, our girl had an upper respiratory infection and had to go to the hospital for care. We are so grateful we found Jaclyn. She is trustworthy and responsible. More importantly, she loved our babies and our babies loved her!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 15. I’ve been in the vet field for 2 years and I have sitting experience for about 3 years. I love all animals I am currently a vet tech at shamrock hospital! Im currently working full time at a vet office. I am available any day of the week before, and after work. Even on lunch. The weekend I am always available! I am available for walking and stop in visits. When taking care of my own pets, they are like my children. I do everything for them. When I sit for clients I make sure I treat them as if they were my own.
“Holly took very good care of my kitties and followed my care instructions perfectly. When we returned from an extended trip away, my kitties we happy and well cared for. I received photos of my kitties from Holly during her visits and she was easy to schedule and promptly returned my messages before and during her visits. I'm definitely booking her again! Thank you!!”
“Tanya was the best! She enjoyed Roxie as much as we do. Love how she sits and plays with her and loved all the pictures that were sent. Will definitely 💯 use her again. Thank you Tanya 😊”
About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.
About: I have been involved in working with animals on a providing-care basis since I was around 12 years old. I began through petsitting my neighbors dogs when they would go out of town. When I began college I got a job working at our local petstore which taught me so much more about caring for pets. I have also dedicated plenty of time to volunteering with animal shelters and fostering pets till they find their forever home. Now, I have multiple pets of my own and love any and all pets I have ever come across. I am currently a full time remote employee so I work from home M-F each week 7-4pm. Thankfully, working from home allows for flexibility and time with your pets the majority of the time. I am flexible with scheduling and I am happy to work with you and your pet to meet any needs or requirements that you may have. I currently live in a house with a large fenced in backyard where pets can run and play. I have pets of my own, 2 dogs. They get along great with each other and they all love other animals- cats and dogs alike. I am surrounded by great hiking trails, great parks, and more.
About: I have taken care of my family and friends animals since I was 14, I am now 20 and have worked with Animak Enforcement for a year at the LCSO. I have also volunteered at many Animal Shelters! I’m currently available at any point in time, animals fit into my active routine as taking on walks and caring intensively is something to look forward with me! I cannot do boarding at my home due to mom and sister being allergic :( I plan on having an animals sanctuary when I move out!
About: Hi! I’m a former paramedic who is currently working helping my family run our small business. I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats and caring for animals (and people) has always been a part of who I am. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, and I’m able to provide care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with cats and dogs that may be shy, fearful, reactive, or considered less than friendly. I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and creating a calm, safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, gentle care, medication support, or simply someone they can trust while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same attention and compassion that I give my own. I’m currently working with my family which allows me to have an extremely flexible and open schedule. Generally available from 8:30a.m-11p.m 7 days a week Long walks and backyard or park playtime. I am comfortable caring for pets with special medical and physical needs. I can provide basic grooming if needed for pets that will allow.
“They did an AMAZING job with our trio of kitties. They even got our grumpy old cat who doesn’t trust anyone to come around :) I would totally recommend them to anyone. They took care of our kitties as if they were their own and were great about communication and keeping an eye on everything.”
“Claudia is the best! Felix loved her almost from the first time she met him. She spent quality time with him, and for once he was not "mad" at me for leaving him when I returned home! That speaks volumes. I highly recommend Claudia!”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 cat, 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.

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.
