We had a wonderful experience!! From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly cared about our dog's well-being. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable throughout the stay. It was obvious that they received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. We truly appreciated the sitter's attention to detail and willingness to follow our dog's routine and special instructions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Emma was amazing! She provided my kitties with such great care, and gave me very detailed feedback about how they were doing while I was gone. Emma was also super responsive to any messages I sent. I felt so comfortable knowing she was caring for my kitties while I was gone. I also appreciate her mindfulness and help with helping clean the litter, emptying out the vacuum, and keeping the kitchen very tidy. I would 100% recommend her for caring for your pets! Thank you, Emma!

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.

Rachel & fam were great with Captain! A previous visit had to be cancelled due to illness, but she let me know ahead of time so I could find other options. I really appreciated the open communication! This visit I came home and Captain was happy as a clam :)

About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all kinds and currently share my home with my two-year-old doodle mix, who loves making new friends. I provide a safe and loving environment where pets feel at home while their owners are away. From walks and playtime to snuggles and personalized care, I ensure each pet’s unique needs are met. Your furry friend will be treated like family, with plenty of attention and love during their stay! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to provide constant attention and care. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any special needs into my day. Being home full-time ensures that your pet is never left alone for long periods and always has someone nearby to care for them. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate pets with specific routines or preferences. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets in my home. I have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure space for outdoor play and exercise under close supervision. Inside, pets are cared for in a clean, pet-friendly environment where they can relax comfortably.

Gabriela did an amazing job watching my dog, Max. He can be a bit anxious at first but warmed up to her quickly. I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of him and will definitely reach out to her for visits in the future. She kept me well updated and took such great care of him. Would highly recommend!

About: I have constantly been around dogs my whole life, socializing and training them. We’ve always had a lot of animals in my family all around, chickens, cats, dogs, and pig was in the mix at one point! I have volunteered with many rescues and have attended training classes with multiple different dogs. I have learned how to adapt to all types of dog behavior and am always open to doing a meet and greet before! I currently have a very flexible schedule so it’s just whenever needed! I just have my own dog that usually takes about 5-6 walks a day and 2 trails a week. I have a fenced in yard with a good amount of room to run. I do not let one of my dogs out there though because it is only four feet. Instead, I take her on trails about 2-3 times a week so she gets about 7-8 miles in a week.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was was a preteen, helping family, friends, and neighbors! I am very patient and loving with all animals and treat them as if they are my own! I am lucky enough to create my own work schedule and work from home daily. I have plenty of spare time to care for your animal. Patience with your animals is my key to success. Every animal takes time to adjust to different circumstances. I was raised to leave places better than how I found them if I am responsible for your animal in your home.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, attention, and love I give to every pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them as if they were my own while they’re in my care. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also believe in clear communication, so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy and well cared for while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Since I work from my laptop, I have a flexible schedule and can provide care from your home, make drop-in visits, or spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. My only regular commitments are church on Sunday mornings and ministry on Tuesday evenings, but outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet care needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any specific instructions provided. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable around me. Whether they enjoy being active, playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing and cuddling, I adjust my care to what makes them happiest. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

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: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I love being around them! I grew up with all sorts of pets, including an English bulldog and a golden retriever. I love any breed and any size pet. Whether it's going for a nature walk, playing outside, or simply giving them some extra love and attention, I enjoy making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. I'm currently working part-time in Brandon, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs. I'm happy to provide your pet with plenty attention and care while you're away. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I'll always follow owner's instructions and keep their normal routine consistent. As well as respecting their home and their pet's needs.

About: I've dedicated my career to caring for animals and would love the opportunity to care for yours, too! Along with being the proud owner of a fun, energetic two-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd, I have several years of professional animal care experience working with both domestic and exotic animals. My background has given me extensive experience with animal behavior, daily husbandry, enrichment, administering medications, monitoring health, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always strive to provide patient, individualized care that helps them feel safe and happy. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that require medications or extra patience. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you're away. I know how much peace of mind matters when trusting someone with your pet, and I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday until 3:00 PM, so I'm available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet care after work. I'm also available most weekends with advance notice, which helps me ensure I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I do my best to be flexible, so don't hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can make something work! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I'm experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and health, administering medications when needed, and remaining calm in unexpected situations. I believe communication is just as important as quality care, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt responses while you're away. I will always respect your home's routines, follow your care instructions carefully, and treat your pet like one of my own. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I offer attentive, loving care for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience with feeding routines, basic leash training, administer-at-home care, and providing plenty of companionship. You will receive clear updates and photos after every visit so you have complete peace of mind. I balance my part-time job and studies with plenty of home-based downtime. Because I study from home frequently, I'm able to provide lots of supervision, frequent potty breaks, and interactive playtime throughout the day and evening. I offer a safe, stress-free environment equipped with a secure fenced yard for playtime and exercise. I double-check all gates before letting pets out, maintain a clean living area, and give regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and comfortable

Sydney was absolutely amazing with my two cats this past weekend! From the moment we booked, she was communicative, professional, and clearly a true animal lover. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. One of my cats is very shy and usually keeps to herself, while the other is super lovable and craves attention. Sydney was great with both—patient and gentle with my shy cat, and affectionate and engaging with my social one. I highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

About: My love for animals began at an early age. Growing up in Puerto Rico, I was always surrounded by beloved family pets, especially dogs of many different sizes and personalities. Those experiences taught me how to respect each pet’s unique personality, recognize their boundaries, and earn their trust. Today, I’m the proud pet parent of two adorable cats, and I bring the same patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection to every dog and cat in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the kindness and responsibility I would want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give each pet plenty of time, attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m available throughout the week and can adjust to your pet’s established routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions while respecting your pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I never force an interaction if an animal needs time to feel comfortable and build trust.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Valrico on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,983 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Valrico. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. 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 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
