About: I believe pet sitting is more than just stopping by for a visit. Every pet is cared for with patience, attention, and the same love I would give my own. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and personality, send regular photo and text updates so you always know how they’re doing, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel right at home until you return. Pet care is a part of my daily routine, not just my work schedule. I plan my days around my clients’ visits to ensure every pet receives reliable, on-time care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or overnight stays, I maintain a consistent schedule so pets can stick to their normal routine. Caring for animals is my full commitment, and I take pride in being dependable for both pets and their owners. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I focus on keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible. During every visit, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed according to your instructions if needed, receive plenty of attention and affection, and have the opportunity to go potty and get some exercise. Dog walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and comfort, while drop-in visits include playtime, companionship, and any other care you’ve requested. I also provide photo and text updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“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.”
“Claudia has been absolutely amazing with my puppy, Milo! She goes above and beyond every single time she cares for him. She doesn’t just make sure his basic needs are met—she truly loves on him as if he were her own. Claudia pays close attention to every detail, follows all of my instructions, and always makes me feel at ease knowing Milo is in such caring hands. The best part is seeing how excited Milo gets every time he sees her. That alone tells me how much he trusts and loves her. Thank you, Claudia, for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy. Your kindness, dedication, and genuine love for animals mean more than you know. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter!”

“We’ve been with Gabriela (Gaby) for over a year now, and we couldn’t be happier! She genuinely loves animals, and it shows in everything she does. She earned our dog’s trust incredibly quickly, which is no easy task given how picky she is! Gaby is caring, attentive, reliable, and impeccable in every aspect, from her visits and walks to her thorough updates and communication. It gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing our dog is in such wonderful hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Gaby!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 9 years old, and animals have truly been a lifelong passion of mine. I grew up on a ranch in Pennsylvania, where I gained hands-on experience with all kinds of farm animals as well as dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and more exotic species. Growing up, I also helped rescue and care for animals until they were healthy and able to fend for themselves again. Today, animals are still a huge part of my everyday life. I have two 15-year-old long-haired Chihuahuas, a 130-pound Sulcata tortoise, and five Fennec foxes. I am also a USDA-licensed breeder of Fennec foxes, which has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals at every stage of life—from newborns requiring close attention and specialized care to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. Because of my experience, I’m very comfortable around animals with different personalities, sizes, ages, and care requirements. I understand how important routines are and how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. I work full-time as a Realtor, but I’m also a full-time animal mom! Since having so many animals of my own makes traveling difficult, I often find myself caring for friends’ and family members’ pets instead—and I genuinely love it. I decided to join Rover because spending time with animals is something that truly brings me joy. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and needs time to warm up, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply happiest sticking to their normal routine, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable and cared for. Your pets aren’t “just pets”—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat them while they’re in my care. ❤️🐾 I make my own schedule and have a great deal of flexibility throughout the day. As a Realtor, I’m frequently driving throughout the area for work, which makes it easy for me to incorporate drop-in visits, walks, feedings, and other pet care into my daily routine. My schedule varies from day to day, so I can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute requests. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible! I provide drop-in care for many different types of animals and understand that every pet has their own routine and individual needs. I can assist with feeding, fresh water, walks and potty breaks, playtime, crate or enclosure cleaning, litter boxes, and other routine care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats as well as reptiles, birds, small animals, senior pets, newborn animals, and many exotics. I have extensive hands-on animal experience and am a USDA-licensed exotic animal breeder. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety is always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, keep doors, gates, crates and enclosures secure, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Michael is very loving towards my dog. At the first meeting he greeted her and sat on the floor so that he was at her height and patiently waited for her to decide to come to him. Within an hour she was leaning against his chest and returning the love.”
About: I’ve raised my dogs from puppies to seniors. I have experience with dogs that are reactive and might yell a little when new people come to their home. I love large dogs, especially ones that think they fit in your lap! I work from home, part-time, and with flexible hours so pet care fits easily into my weekly schedule. I do have regular health appointments, but those are known well in advance for scheduling. Up front, I am physically disabled; I can take your dog out to use the bathroom, but I cannot take them on proper walks. Everything else is fair game. Your dog will still get lots of play time, treats, cuddles, and attention while I care for them :) As for cats, don’t worry, I can still scoop the litter box!
About: Your pet will have outside access 24/7 in our fenced yard. I will take great care of your pet. I’ve had several rover clients before but I can’t find my old account I’m retired and a homebody. I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention it needs. You’ll be happy you chose me and my home. I feed them. Watch them to make sure they are safe. Lavish them with attention so they don’t get lonely. They won’t want to leave.

“Lauren watched our two dogs while we were out of town. She asked good questions about their care and is professional. She was able to give us updates on how they were doing and played with the dogs a lot! My experience was great and I would book her again!”
About: Having been raised by a father who was a veterinarian, I’ve had experience raising and caring for various types of animals. I believe our fur babies aren’t just pets, but are our children, family, guides and protectors I recently resigned from teaching and only have to care for my kitty child Lyran, so I’m pretty free and available for most dates and times requested. Having a cat baby at my house, I would prefer to go to the clients house to care for their pets. I can make exceptions and keep a clients pet depending on the pet and requirements for care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Valrico
Tamara was terrific. She took great care of our cats. She responded quickly to all messages. She went above and beyond by letting us know we had a package on our porch. This package had perishable medicine in it, so we were able to contact someone to take care of it. We really appreciated the extra service. We will definitely use her again.
Had to leave my 3 babies for a few days while I flew out of town. Corinna came to do a meet and greet and was so sweet and asked what she needed for them to be well cared for during my trip. She made something that could be stressful so stress free and I never had to worry about my babies being taken care of. I would trust and recommend Corinna any day and any trip! Thank you so much!
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.
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Valrico is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,206 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Valrico. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Valrico. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
