About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every dog I care for. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle seniors. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds (I have a Great Dane-Rottweiler mix, red heeler, and Bichon myself!) and understand how to keep dogs of all sizes feeling safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pup like family and tailor my care to their unique needs and personality. Being a dog mom and providing pet care is part of my everyday routine. I am available after 5pm during the week or anytime on weekends to walk your pup! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. I follow your dog’s usual routine whether that means cuddle time on the couch, structured play, or quiet time in their own space. I keep their environment clean, calm, and stress-free. For dog walking or drop-ins, I focus on safety first using secure leashes, staying alert on routes, and making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and positive attention. I always give real-time updates, so you feel connected and confident while you’re away.
About: Need a sitter? I'm your girl. I work from home, which basically means your dog gets a full-time companion — not someone squeezing them between errands. Here's the deal: boarding, drop-ins, or walks, your pup gets real attention. Playtime, belly rubs, a cozy spot on the couch, and photo updates so you're not sitting at work wondering. I love the wild puppies, I love the grumpy old souls — every dog has their thing, and I figure it out fast. I'm flexible, I reply fast, and I genuinely love doing this. Message me with your dates and let's get your pup booked! 🐾 I love working from home, and living alone gives me the opportunity to create my own schedule! While caring for animals in the comfort of my home. Yes, It will vary. I can care for cats, and small dogs. Or gentle big dogs. In the care of my home. Or the clients home.
About: Your fur babies safety and happiness are my top priority! Whether your dog prefers a brisk, high energy workout or a gentle, sniffing focused stroll, I tailor every walk to their specific routine and energy level. You can expect real time photo updates if requested On a weekly basis, I maintain a carefully managed calendar that balances core, recurring client walks with flexible windows for short notice needs or weekend check ins, guaranteeing reliable and stress free care for pet parents. I provide attentive, high quality care centered on the safety, happiness, and well being of every animal. I excel at creating a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure and comfortable. My approach combines reliable routine management such as precise feeding schedules and structured exercise with the love and individual attention each pet deserves. I am highly observant, quick to recognize shifts in animal body language or health, and dedicated to open, real time communication with pet owners to ensure complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve grown up around different breeds of dogs and cats. I truly have a love for animals which make the best person to babysit your babies. I specialize in socializing young pups to just comforting pups with separation anxiety. Gone all day and need someone to check on your baby? I’m there! Your baby needs a walk while you’re at work? You can count on me! With working part time, this gives me more flexibility to help you when needed! Mornings, afternoons, and weekends I can help! Walks, quick visits, boarding, etc. I have a home with plenty of space and a huge fenced in back yard! I also live near dog parks if your baby needs to go and stretch its legs!
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.
About: I've taken care for dogs since I was a child. My truly love for them is unvaluable. They are my angels on the earth. Love each activities with them. I am completely available on weekdays and weekends. I can receive your pets and give them all the attention required as the case may be. My patio area is long and fenced, it meets safety guidelines. I don't have my own pets. I provide your pet with the same guidelines as an owner.
“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs my entire life. Growing up with a dog at home since birth taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency in pet care. Beyond that, I had the incredible experience of assisting in raising a guide dog, which deepened my understanding of training, responsibility, and the unique bond between humans and dogs. These experiences have given me both the skills and the heart to provide exceptional care and create a safe, loving environment for any dog. I am currently a graduate school student with an extremely flexible schedule. I have large gaps in the afternoons with many days with no class. I would be able to accommodate lunch walk/bathroom breaks as well as morning and evening check ins if needed. I prioritize caring for pets exactly how their owners prefer. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication, and any special needs to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment, and I’m happy to accommodate their usual routines as much as possible. My apartment also features designated dog play areas that are available for use, giving dogs plenty of space to exercise and socialize. Whether in your home or mine, my goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Mckenzie I’m a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I specialize in personalized, one-on-one care, taking the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. From walks and playtime to feeding, medication routines, and lots of love, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ My Availability As a college student balancing classes with a part-time job, my weekday schedule is somewhat limited during the afternoon. While extended weekday afternoon stays during my school/work hours aren’t the best fit for my schedule, pop-in visits during the day are absolutely welcome for things like potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Overnight stays are also welcome, along with evening and weekend care. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and find an arrangement that works well for everyone. 🐾 My Top Priorities When caring for your pets, my top priorities are safety, communication, and trust. I understand that inviting someone to care for your pets is a responsibility that requires confidence and peace of mind, and I take that responsibility seriously. Safety always comes first. I make sure pets are cared for according to their individual routines, environments, and needs while remaining attentive to potential risks or changes in behavior. Communication is essential to providing excellent care. I keep owners informed with timely updates and am proactive about communicating any questions, concerns, or changes I notice while they’re away. Most importantly, I strive to build trust with both pets and their owners. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect while following the instructions and routines provided by their family. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your pet is in caring, dependable hands.

“Francesca did a wonderful job. It was out first time going on a vacation without the dogs, and she made it to where we enjoyed our vacation and didn't stress or worry about our fur babies. She takes wonderful pictures and updates on everything going on. She is very sweet and will take good care of your fur babies!”
“First time using Ariadna's services and I recommend 100%! It is always stressful to have a stranger come to your house specially when you are not there. But Ariadna made it super easy and from the get go I knew I could trust her. My Labs loved her. Definitely will use her services again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Valrico
Stephanie was wonderful ! This was our first Rover experience and it went flawless. She was a very good communicator and really cared about the well being of our two small dogs and our large cat. We have one dog that needs two injections a day and she handled that with no issues. We would definitely use Stephanie for the next rip.
This was our first time ever using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog, than Lauren. Her communication with us was amazing. She was very thorough and detailed. We loved all the pictures that she shared with us (you could tell Zeppy was in great hands). We would highly recommend Lauren and would definitely use her again in the future if needed. Thank you again Lauren for taking such great care of our fur baby.
My very sensitive dog was so sad at the kennel. So we did the drop in visits. Jen visited him 3 times per day, including walking him once per day, gave him daily medication, fed him and cleaned his bowls. The house was tidy, mail picked up, trash cans brought up. It was above and beyond what I expected. I can not recommend the drop in visits highly enough. For him, I think it was seamless. He was his normal self when I returned. And it was comforting to see his “report card” every visit. Jen is amazing!!
Kylee is so great with our Malamutes and does a fantastic job with letting us know when something might be wrong! She’s consistently dropped in for us for several weeks now and has been heaven sent as we get in a groove with our new jobs after moving in the area. She’s also been so patient with a few last minute requests due to chaotic work schedules. She’s kind of the best there ever was!!!!! 🫶
Christian has been amazing with my two dogs. He is very detailed oriented and makes sure that he checks all the boxes of care before he leaves for the day. My dogs have definitely taken to him. Christian is reliable and trustworthy, and I look forward to continually working with him.
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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
