“Ania is absolutely amazing. 20 out of 5 stara. My fur babies loved her so much and I felt so comfortable leaving them in her care. She was so communicative with every visit. This is my first time using rover and I was a little nervous at first but immediately felt so comfortable with the Ania and knew my babies were in great hands. Thank you so much Ania!”
“Julie did a great job! She took care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat without missing a drop in visit. She sent us great pictures of our pups and kitty so we knew they were doing well while we were away. All three of the pets were in a great mood when we got home and hadn't made a mess at all. Definitely recommend Julie for pet-care in the future!”
“I’ve been working with Jennifer for about 3 months now and she has been amazing! I moved to FL from out of state and I’ve always worked from home, but now I’ve had to go back to the office full time which has been difficult. I’m a very anxious dog mom - I don’t usually let anyone take care of my fur family, but Jennifer gave me the reassurance and trust I needed to feel comfortable with my new situation. She’s great with communication, very understanding and completely reliable - a hard person to come by these days. I fully trust her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog or cat sitter! 10/10 ⭐️”
“I am very happy with the care that Ma'lisa gave to my handsome boy Rowdy. She was very punctual and handled him with love. I received updates and pictures letting me know how well he did during his walk and visits. I am defintiley booking more days!!”
“Rachel did a wonderful job caring for our pets. She was prompt every morning and made sure our oldest cat received her medication along with some extra love and attention. She even managed to win over our youngest, who is usually very shy around new people. As first-time Rover users, this was a fantastic experience, and we couldn’t be happier with the care Rachel provided.”
“Tamara did a fantastic job. She kept in constant contact during visits. Asked questions about my kitties peculiarities to make sure nothing was wrong and sent great pics.”
“Lauren was phenomenal being able to accommodate my last minute needs to drop in on my dog while I was out and about. Her communication was great and she gave me updates while she was with Diesel. Highly recommend her services!”
“Sydney was an amazing sitter for my cat! She was very attentive to my cat’s needs and gave her lots of love. She sent me pictures of her meals, litter box, and cute playing photos everyday. I will definitely book with Sydney again! Thank you:)))”
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from beloved family pets to farm animals and reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities, sizes, and needs. My experience has taught me that every animal deserves patient, attentive, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has a unique routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. My availability gives me the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine, provide timely potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they have fresh water and a clean environment. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it.
“Driana was absolutely amazing the care she had for our pups while we were gone. She went above and beyond and took her time with them. Highly recommend and we will be booking with her again :)”
“Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.”
About: I am my neighborhood’s designated pet watcher and I also own three big dogs of my own. I have experience with very energetic dogs as well as dogs with anxiety. My dog Bear has epilepsy so unfortunately, I am used to giving medication and taking care of his special needs. I am a college student at Columbia University working a part-time remote job this summer with the US government. My schedule is super flexible. I wanted to find another job that I would always enjoy. I am currently working a part-time remote job at a consulting firm this summer. I am a rising junior in college with a car and loads of time. I am willing to drive just about anywhere and make sure your beloved pets are safe while you are away. I am very reliable, prompt and professional.
“Alex was great! Our cats love her. She’s flexible with one of our cat medication administering procedure, and send pictures everyday that she’s drop in to feed our cats. Highly recommended.”
“I am very thankful for Christina! She took extra special care of my kitties and didn’t have to worry one bit. I loved getting the pictures and reports on how well they were all doing and warming up to Christina. Thank you!!”
“Abby is an amazing pet sitter for our two rambunctious Boxer dogs. She's calm, cool and collected. She's always professional and we plan to use Abby again and again as our pet sitter!”
“Alyssa was amazing with my two babies, I sent a last minutes request and she fulfilled all of my request! Would definitely trust her again and again with my babies, and they are big dogs!! Sent multiple pictures of the visit as well ❤️”
About: I've owned and taken care of pets of all kinds for 50 years. I'm easy going and will love your babies as my own. I have 2 sons, 4 grandkids, 2 dogs, and 1 parrot! I'm currently a retired, trustworthy grandma with wide availability. I like to stay busy, so I've been house and pet sitting through word of mouth for friends and family for years. I love animals so this has been a great fit for my post-retirement (42years) from the Hillsborough county school system. I am available on short notice 7 days a week. I'm happy to help keep your fur babies routine and make them as comfortable and safe as possible. I'm comfortable giving medication, walks, and plenty of play time.
“Whitney was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for the care of our fur babies. She gave us updates very often and was very good at communicating what was going on. She sent us some really great photos of them too. I felt relieved while we were out of town to have Whitney care for them. She genuinely cared for them too. I would recommend Whitney 10/10!”
“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”
About: Hello! My name is Valerie, and I am a registered nurse and dog enthusiast. I have about 8 years of experience caring mostly for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I love all animals and will treat your pets as If they were my own. I am originally from Chicago, and I recently relocated to St. Pete with my rescue dog Mojito. I am looking to walk dogs on the weekends to get some fresh air and meet some sweet pups. I am able to walk dogs, do drop in visits, administer medications, serve food, and replenish water bowls. I also have some experience with hermit crabs, birds, and rabbits as well. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Valrico
Rachel has been my regular cat sitter for 3 months now. She has play sessions with my super high energy cat 3 days a week while I'm at work. She's very good with him and my other cat who is a nervous scaredy cat. She is always kind and communicative. She's also flexible when I need to change dates or cancel a session (usually because I've called out or switched a shift) and she gives me plenty of advance warning if there's ever a day she won't be available. I recommend Rachel to anyone, but especially if you're in a situation like me where you need a regular sitter to come consistently.
Brittany took the job of looking out for our advanced- age cat at short notice, and while in her final weeks of pregnancy. She left great correspondence while we were traveling and gave me the piece of mind I did not think I would find. She is responsible, dependable, and great at communicating. We are very happy she accepted our job and we highly recommend her service.
Julianna was extremely reliable, and so compassionate caring for our cat while we were away! We were truly blown away by her attention to detail and her calm nature… She was willing to look out for a few specific things on our list without hesitation. We were so pleased and felt so comfortable knowing that Mochi was in good hands, and it allowed us to enjoy our getaway so much more. We will definitely be rebooking her soon for another weekend away! Highly, highly recommend.
I felt very good about having her visit our house and caring for our cats from the very start. She asked lots of relevant questions about Hobbit and Foo, and they looked happy in every photo she sent with each visit. We'd definitely hire her again, and give a strong recommendation to friends.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Valrico on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,236 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Valrico. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
