“Sarah was the best dog/house sitter ever! She took such great care of our babies and sent us photos and videos all the time. She had great communication, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the process! It was my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but the second I met Sarah and we did a meet and greet I was no longer nervous. Our two dogs loved her so much! If you are looking for someone on rover I highly recommend Sarah. When I need a dog sitter moving forward I will be contacting Sarah again!”
About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant as well as a kennel technician and worked at the local pet store I have open availability currently as I only work on the weekends. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other clients through word of mouth/rover. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers
“First time using my sitter and I was extremely happy how Larrielle took care of my fur babies. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone that wants their babies well taken care. She sent me messages and photos various times during the day. I will definitely use her as my sitter for now on.”
“Marla was great! This was my first time using rover for House Sitting, She confirmed a schedule and stuck to it! She gave my kitties lots of affection which is the most important thing to me! I would highly recommend Marla if you want a responsible sitter.”
“Brian is the absolute best. We always make sure he’s available before we plan anything. He takes excellent care of Sadie and Patches and we never have to worry. The house is always spotless and Sadie and Patches are happy whenever he comes.”
About: I have 5 years experience in the animal field professionally. I have learned animal behavior and signs, I have learned patience and understanding, how to build a bond, and so much more. I am currently working 4 days a week. I have three days a week I can fit your pet care needs into schedule. I can also possibly schedule times around my job the other 4 days as I work a swing shift. I have two separate fences on my property and a secured dog room that leads to the year fencing area with AC, dog bed, access in and out, fan, access to water at all times inside with an automatic water bowl outside. I have a friendly, Neutered male Golden Retriever to keep them company if preferred, or there is plenty of space to keep them separate. None smoking and no small children. For your home visits, I would respect your space and rules as well as accommodate all your needs and request a n your home.
“Ashlyn is a wonderful sitter and Coco loves seeing her walk through the door. Ashlyn is punctual, kind, knowledgeable and shows respect for our home. She communicates any changes promptly and we love all of the photos she sends of Coco. Leaving Coco is not as stressful with Ashlyn as our sitter. Thank you so much, Ashlyn!!”
“Neida took wonderful care of Lucy! She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that Lucy was well cared for and received lots of attention and affection. I truly appreciated Neida’s professionalism, communication, and the love she showed my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Neida! 🐾💕”
About: My experience includes dog walking, overnight pet sitting, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I also have experience for bearded dragons and other reptiles, including feeding, habitat care, and handling routines. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a lizard, I understand how important it is to give pets patience, attention, and proper care. I’m reliable, responsible, and able to carefully follow any instructions to make sure every pet gets the best care possible. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I had just graduated and will have a very open and flexible availability. Since I’ll have extra free time, I’m able to be dependable, responsive, and give pets lots of attention and care throughout the day. I regularly walk and care for my own dog, and spending so much time with him has definitely made me his favorite person in the house.
“Amanda was great during the entire process.Promptly replied to messages, was on time and took care of Remy very well. Most importantly Remy was happy! Will definitely call her again.”
“We love and appreciate Heather so much for taking the best care of our fur baby! This was our first time having someone stay at our house while we went out of town and Heather did such an amazing job. She asked lots of questions and was very communicative with us. We will definitely ask her to watch our baby again in the future!”
About: I've owned animals my whole life, both cats and dogs. I love them like my own children. I have some experience with giving medication to dogs I'm typically available all day. I do not work from home due to carpeting and my pets but taking care of them in your space for hours or a few days is absolutely fine, I am flexible and can work with any schedule. I will not be doing home stays at my house due to my pets and respecting my roommates space. I always keep the space I am sitting in clean and free of non pet friendly items. Safety and comfort for furry friends is the most important.
“Vonna was a blessing! She spoiled my babies and left me feeling at ease while we were away. She truly loves animals and took extra time and energy to connect with my older dog who is slow to warm up to new people. She even hand fed him to make sure he ate. They were best friends after day one. She communicates well, and I got a lot of pictures and updates. My house was as clean as when I left it. I highly recommend her!”
About: Growing up, my family nicknamed me "Elly Mae" because I’ve always had a love for animals—From dogs and cats, to rats, rabbits and guinea pigs I’ve cared for just about every kind of creature you can imagine (domestic or slightly non)! As a mature, responsible caregiver, I come with a lifetime of hands-on experience, I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve provided daily care, socialization, and even medical support—including administering oral and topical medications, giving insulin shots, and helping special-needs pets stay comfortable and happy. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, or legs galore, they’ll be in loving, capable hands with me. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I’m flexible and strive to work with your pet’s routine to ensure they feel safe, seen, and cared for. I care for most pets in the comfort of their own homes, where they feel safest and most secure. I always respect each pet’s routine and space, and I take the time to build trust—especially with shy or anxious animals. I'm gentle, patient, and attentive to their individual needs, whether it's medication, playtime, or just quiet companionship. For small, caged pets or very small dogs, I may be able to offer care in my home under special circumstances, with a clean, safe, and cozy environment ready to welcome them.
About: Hey there friend! My name is Carenna & I am 26 years old. I have been pet sitting since I was 14 years old. I am familiar with all breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs and cats. I am trained in both CPR and first aid for both people and animals. In my working career, I work with animals on a daily basis and I am very familiar with different behaviors. Your furbabies will be in good and loving hands! I have a flexible work schedule and I am available multiple days/hours each week with weekends currently open. I do not currently have any obligations, and this makes me available to tend to any needs that your furbabies may have. When attending to your fur babies, I love to include them as much as possible so they never feel alone. They will have my full attention. I am certified and trained in both CPR/first aid for both people and animals.
“Kali is amazing with our German Shepherd! She not only arrives on time, but is also very flexible — we really appreciated that she even arrived earlier upon a last-minute request. She prioritizes his care by taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first thing, practicing his commands, and following his schedule promptly. She keeps me informed throughout the day with important updates, which I truly appreciate. She also picks up all of his toys and makes sure our home is clean and tidy every time — I always come home to everything looking nice and clean. She is absolutely the best you can have caring for your puppy. We truly appreciate you, Kali! 🩵”
About: I have always had animals from a child. My dog passed away 2 years ago. I got him from the pound at 6 weeks until he passed away at almost 20 years old. I give massages and I always maintain their schedule that they are used to when at home. All the dogs in my neighborhood love me and always want me to rub their heads. I will love your animal and care for them like my own. I have done and still do animal sitting in the community where I live. Most of my neighbors will recommend me to new comers. I will give them several walks per day and I will give them a bath if needed, and I will feed them the food that they eat every day at home. I will try to maintain the same schedule as home. I prefer to care for dogs under 40 lbs but I have gotten dogs between 40- 100 lbs and wasn’t told the correct weight. if I am able to accommodate your request there will be an additional fee between $10-20 extra per day.I am available full time for your pet and my son is available as well and he loves animals and animals are drawn to him. In fact we have a wild rabbit that followed him around and now lives with us. i have a home that is safe for your pet and will not leave them alone for very long. They will be under supervision for most of the day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Zephyrhills South
Arianna was great! She did a great job with the dogs. Her communication was great and gave me lots of updates on the dogs which I loved! It is hard to trust someone with your fur babies when you go away but she made my worries go away! Thank you again for everything!
Kendal was an absolute dream. She was incredibly attentive to our fur babies, very communicative, and eased my anxiety of leaving one of our older cats who I haven’t left since she started her medication. All four of our animals have different personalities, schedules, and quirks, and she went out of her way to ensure they all didn’t miss a beat in our absence. I will definitely be rebooking with Kendal every time we’re in need of pet care.
Sarah was absolutely amazing with Cleo, Ozzy, and Toothless while we were away on vacation. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She was reliable, communicative, and treated our pets like they were her own. She took great care of our dogs and even made sure Toothless, our fish, was looked after too. We came home to happy pets and a smooth experience from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring.
Sarah was amazing. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a pet sitter and I was apprehensive. I had no reason to worry. Both dogs were very comfortable with her and I have one dog who has anxiety, and even he was at ease with Sarah. I received updates on a daily basis and Sarah was very communicative with letting me know how they were doing. And, my house was cleaner than when I left. Kiddos to Sarah. Will use her again.
Heather was amazing! After moving to Florida recently it has been hard for me to find someone that I trust with my dogs. Since day 1 of meeting Heather she was someone who I instantly felt I could trust. She was great with the dogs and remembered many of the details from our meet and greet. She is now my go to sitter for my babies when I have to travel!
Amy is, without a doubt, the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. We have a puppy and an older dog, and for a number of reasons, we don’t like boarding them at a facility or even sending them to another house. Amy brought her adorable pup with her and stayed with our dogs for five days, sharing pictures and check-ins that made us feel comforted and assured the entire time. Will book her again in a heartbeat!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Zephyrhills South walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Zephyrhills South maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Zephyrhills South 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
