“Absolutely amazing! First time using Rover and I couldn’t be more thankful for this program and for Nikki! She was so attention, responsive, and loved on my kitties with such great care. It gives me peace of mind knowing she plays with them and sends pictures, I will 1000% be using her over and over again! Thank you so much!!”
“Gabi was perfect and helped out so much, even on short notice! She did everything I asked and if she didn’t know something she asked; which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely book again!”
“Emily is the best! Nala loves her so much and has so much fun with her! She also takes the best pictures of our pups and makes me feel how much nala loves her through the pictures!”
“During our initial meet and great I could tell that Pam loves cats. My cat, who usually runs from everyone she doesn't know, loved Pam as well. This made me feel completely comfortable leaving my cat in Pam's care. Receiving pictures everyday really helped put me at ease as well. I would highly recommend Pam and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need a cat sitter!”
About: I’ve spent nearly 17 years caring for my own dogs, giving me extensive hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life, including senior dogs with more specialized needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs, and I believe they deserve the same patience and attention they receive from their own family. My experience includes providing medications, managing feeding routines and dietary needs, assisting with mobility and bathroom routines, keeping pets comfortable, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m especially comfortable caring for older dogs who may need extra patience, assistance, or a little more time throughout the day. Most importantly, I treat pets like family. I’m attentive, dependable, affectionate, and committed to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My Schedule I work full-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule and am able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and drop-in visits, and I can accommodate different routines and care needs. Because I’m home most of the day, pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of time. I’m also able to provide regular potty breaks, meals, medication, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I live in an apartment with my partner and our cat, Trixie. Our community has a fenced dog park area where dogs of all sizes can safely get some exercise and play. I provide a comfortable, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can feel at home while in my care.
About: I’m a nature boy at heart, I love the outdoors and all sorts of adventures. From simple sidewalk trips around the block. To open field exploration that knows no bounds. When I am taking a pup for a walk it will always be a fun time. I’m available most days within minutes. Any question or concern regarding your pets care under my supervision can be answered. I’m very flexible with my schedule so I feel confident I’m a good fit for most good boys and girls out there who need a new buddy from time to time. Any rules and procedures that you lay out will be followed. Once I get comfortable with your pet I’ll treat them just like my own and provide anything I can to make sure they receive the best care while waiting for you to come home.
“Samantha went over and above to take care of my two cats. I was completely at ease while I was away, did not waste one minute worrying about them because I knew they were in great hands! I would definitely ask Samantha to come back next time we need someone to take care of Apache and Smokey.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years and have hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities.

Pet care fits easily into my current routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule. I take every pet’s safety and comfort seriously and will always follow the care instructions provided by their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space while keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, and I’ll provide updates so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.

I provide loving, dependable **overnight pet and house sitting in your home**, giving your pets the comfort of their normal surroundings while giving you peace of mind.

Your pets aren’t just a booking to me. They’re family. ❤️ I have a flexible schedule which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I enjoy getting outside for walks throughout the day and can build pet care naturally into my routine. For house sitting, I’m able to provide consistent overnight care and regular daytime attention. I’m also flexible with feeding, walking, medication and other routines based on each pet’s individual needs. I’m located in Westchase and am available for in-home sitting throughout the surrounding Tampa Bay area. I treat every pet and home with the same care, respect and attention I would want for my own.

About: I really treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know their routines, what makes them feel safe, and what brings them joy—whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just some quiet company. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I also recently raised and trained a puppy in the last 4 years. I am pretty flexible for the most part! I work a remote job so its easy for me to be here and there. Just really depends on your needs. It really just depends on what the owner prefers! I am all about sticking to routine to keep the pups happy and relaxed. I follow instructions very closely.
“I highly recommend booking with Michael, he is so friendly and accommodating. He came super last minute and took good care of my babies. He sent a bunch of cute pictures for me too which made me feel good while I was gone. Thank you again!!”

I’ve had cats, dogs, lizards, turtles, etc! everyone around me knows my love for animals and asks me questions about their own pets if they don’t know something. My dream is to have a huge farm filled with a bunch of animals. Animals will always be part of who i am :) I currently have a full time job from Tues-Sat so I am available mornings those days, Sunday and Monday all day to care for your babies :) I always treat peoples pets as if they were my own, giving them the care they need if it’s food, cuddles, or walks! whatever the precious pet needs!
“Patrick was very accommodating and understanding. My husband and I are grateful for his help with the Drop-in for our dog, Sandy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westchase
Wonderful care for our 8 week old puppy! He required 3 long visits a day when we were not working from home, and he is a nervous puppy. He could not settle to sleep when alone. The usual recommendations were not working right away and I created a very specific routine. I trained Anastasiia on the methods and she picked up quickly, meeting his needs at each visit. Bentley responded very well to her calm manner and he made progress in her care! I highly recommend.
Kelly is a true gem! We were a bit nervous about leaving our cat at home while we traveled but we found Kelly on Rover, asked her to stop by for an introductory visit and were convinced she would be a perfect fit. She kept us posted about her daily visits and took some great pictures of our cat 'in action'. We highly recommend Kelly if you are seeking a caring and capable pet sitter!
This is the third time Trinity has taken care of our cats, and as always, she is awesome! She is punctual, responsive and very loving to our pets. I highly recommend Trinity! We are very grateful to have met her through Rover and will definitely reach out again when we need cat-sitting services.
Without a doubt the best sitter we have ever had. When your skittish kitty cannot get enough rubs from day 1 it is clear that your sitter is an animal lover. Bethany's daily pictures spoke louder than words showing our 2 kitty's enjoying Bethany's rubs with her lying on the floor next to them. Our kitties are older with gastric issues and accompanied vomits, but Bethany assured we come home to a spotless home. We highly recommend Bethany to take care of your animal friend/s The only issue we foresee is that your pet/s might be sad when you return home and Bethany leaves.
Stephanie is punctual, caring, attentive and respectful of our home. She followed our care instructions. We received great photos and report after each visit. She has a calm and reassuring demeanor that our shy cat began to open up to her by the end of our vacation. It is not easy to welcome a stranger into our home but Stephanie exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!
Sherri did a wonderful job caring for our pets! She was such a lifesaver being able to help out at just a short notice. First time meeting her and I felt like our animals would be in good hands and they were! I recommend Sherri if you want a reliable and caring person to watch over your pets, 100%! :)

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westchase is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 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 October 2026, there are 7,416 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westchase. 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.

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.
