“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.

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.
About: Hi I’m Meredith! I’m 20 years old and I’m excited to be your new dog walker. I have owned dogs since I was a little girl and dog sit for my family when they’re out of town. I’m looking for some dogs who need a walk or play date while their owner(s) are away! If you’re looking for someone to play with, care for, and love your furry friends while you’re away; than I’m your sitter!💕🐾 I am a university student and will not be working a job this summer. I will have flexible scheduling and can pretty much work any days and times. I can easily adapt to the schedule that you have set out for your dogs in your home. I am not currently planning on doing any care at my own home, but I do have a fenced in yard and a friendly 6 year old female dog.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each pet. I know pets are family, and I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for when their owners are away. I’m active, responsible, and enjoy keeping pets entertained through walks, play, and enrichment. I’m patient with puppies and new pets who are learning, and I’m gentle with senior pets who need a little extra support. I also prioritize communication and love sending updates so owners can have peace of mind. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following specific care routines, including administering medications when needed.

I am unable to provide care in my own home, however I am happy to provide care in your home where your pet is most comfortable. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I will follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away, and I’ll provide regular updates so you can feel confident they are happy and well cared for.
About: I do work with clients but I also work with the dogs. Every dog has its own lively hood that is important to cater. A dog doesn’t just need food and water, it needs companionship. Despite working a part time job, my availability is open for most days of the week. As long as I know the time frame, your dogs will be given the best care I can give! To help overcome any fear or anxiety about a stranger in your house, I do offer meet and greets to help provide a peace of mind.

“Kim has watched my cat several times before and she’s honestly the best. Very communicative, and she always sends great pictures of my fur baby. I’d give her more stars if it could.”
About: For over 10 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors—caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From daily walks to playtime, feeding, and bath time, I’ve handled it all with patience and love. I do rover full time and spend most of my days at home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. My home is quiet, cozy, and safe. It’s a comfortable space where your pet can feel at ease. Whether your furry friend wants a buddy for long walks or someone to snuggle up with, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I do rover full time and spend most of my time at home, I can easily fit in walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I like to start mornings with fresh food and water, followed by a walk or play session to get some energy out. Midday, I check in for more cuddles, bathroom breaks, and enrichment activities. Evenings are for winding down with another walk, a little play, and lots of affection before bedtime. Your pet won’t just get “checked in on”—they’ll be a regular part of my day. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy space, regular walks or playtime, fresh food and water, and plenty of love. In a client’s home, I stick to their normal routine—feeding, walks, play—while giving them the same care and attention they’d get if you were there.

With a background in leadership and service, I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and attention to detail so you always feel at ease while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make space for it in my daily routine. I’m able to provide steady morning and evening care, along with attention and updates throughout the day, making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I follow their usual routines, give them plenty of attention and affection, and adjust my approach based on their personality; whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and needing a slower pace. I also provide updates so you always know how they’re doing.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valrico
Lauren was amazing and so caring with my fur baby. This was the first time I have been away from and she really eased my mind with her superb communication. She was very helpful with cleaning his area after his accidents. And she even brought in our packages. I appreciated the care she took with ensuring our key was secure. Oh and I super thankful for her patience with me as this was my first time using this service. I highly recommend her!
Alexis was great from start to finish. This was our first time using Rover and she made the process super easy for us. She explained everything well to us and made us feel very comfortable from the beginning. Our big boy loved her the moment she came to meet him and we could tell she cared a lot for animals just by the way she took her time with him that first visit. We will definitely be rebooking her for our future getaways.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 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.
