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.

About: Hello! I'm Maria, a passionate dog lover deeply devoted to my two furbabies, Olaf and Klaus, whom I've cherished for the past 4 years. Through our journey together, I've immersed myself in doggie care, attending training classes and learning the ins and outs of caring for energetic breeds like huskies. While it's been a challenge, it's also been incredibly rewarding, instilling in me the confidence to extend my care to other families' beloved pets. Over the years, I've also had the pleasure of looking after friends' dogs, each with their unique personalities and needs. Every dog holds a special place in my heart, and I believe understanding their quirks and preferences is key to providing the best possible care. That's why I encourage you to share all the details about your furry friend – from their favorite toys to their daily routine – so I can tailor my care to meet their specific needs. I'm excited to meet your furbaby and provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve! Here to provide weekend dog care services, I am available from Friday through Sunday. I do work 9am-5pm from Mon-Thursday, on Fridays I do work from home so most of my available time is during the weekends. My home is certified safe, trustworthy, and pet-friendly for dog boarding. Crates are available if required. With two friendly dogs of my own, I ensure a welcoming environment. Located in a gated community, perfect for enjoyable walks!

Alexis is absolutely amazing! Our pups had a tummy trouble during our trip, and she handled everything with so much care, patience, and attention. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-loved pups, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided.
Megan was absolutely wonderful! She kept us updated the entire time with sweet photos and messages, so we always felt informed about Beau. She even went the extra mile by bringing our packages in, which we really appreciated. Beau seemed so happy and well cared for when we got home. I can tell he was in great hands. Highly recommend her!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Valrico 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 Valrico 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 .

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

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.
