“Tamara saved us and is now our go to! We were blindsided by our vacation home with a more restrictive pet policy than we had hoped for only 1 day before our planned departure so in a panic we turned to Rover. Tamara was extremely quick to respond. She was professional and kind and completely understanding and supportive of our situation. The pups warmed up to her pretty quickly.”
“Corinna took such good care of our two cats. Our one cat, Jack, had a hard time with us leaving. She gave him extra time, affection, and treats. He was happy and healthy when we got home. I would strongly recommend her. Thank you!”
About: From cats, dogs, chickens and ferrets, I’ve grown up around all animals and know how to care for their specific wants needs and personality types. I am a full time student but taking care of pets has been a normal part of my day. I am currently taking classes online so my schedule is very flexible. Whether it’s feeding or changing water before I head to class and letting a pet outside during a break it has become routine for me. In my home I make sure my animals food and water bowls are always clean. If they’ve made a mess for any reason that will be cleaned up as soon as possible. I also understand certain animals have physical needs or wants so cuddling or walking softly around the house is understandable.
“Christina is absolutely wonderful with my Jax. He has warmed up to her in no time and he is usually skiddish with ppl. Very pleased with her. Thank you so much. This is my second time booking with her and I am already asking for another time. 😊”

“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!!!!! 🫶”
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.

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.

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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Valrico is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $24 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 October 2026, there are 7,167 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 .
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 , 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:
- 90% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
