“10/10 recommend Alex! I was so nervous trusting someone to watch our 4 cats and 11 month old puppy- we had a few specifications we needed and Alex seemed to meet all of those. After chatting with his stellar deference i was convinced he was exactly what we were hoping for! He checked in regularly by text and photos and asked questions whenever he needed information. I came home to very happy critters and a clean house. Alex at first seemed too good to be true- but he actually IS!”
“Holi-Nicol was great! We had to make a last minute booking due to an out of town funeral. She responded quickly and set up a meet and greet for the next day. She was great with our three dogs, and kept us updated with pictures. The dogs loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Doug was absolutely fantastic. He is an excellent communicator and kept us abreast of how our girls were doing. 10/10 would absolutely have him stay with our girls in our home again.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner for 10 years, I’m now embarking on a new chapter after 24 wonderful years in Chicago. Following a long career in advertising sales, I’m seeking a slower-paced, more fulfilling path — one that lets me combine my reliability with my love for animals. At 49, I bring maturity, responsibility, and genuine care to every pup I watch, ensuring your they are looked after as if they were my own. Also, the doodle you see in some pics is my amazingly chill, gets along with every living thing, sidekick Lambeau. So please note your dog(s) must be okay with other dogs. I'm currently taking some time off and won't be going back to remote work until the fall '26, at the earliest. So I'm very flexible with my time at the moment. I live in an apartment complex (2 bed / 2 bath) with a huge unfenced grassy area off my lanai, that Lambeau and I call our own backyard. I also live across the street from John Chesnut park, in the Tarpon Woods area so Lambeau and I spend lots of time at that huge dog park and/or exploring the various trails. So if you're open to that as well, I'll gladly take your pup(s) over there for some adventures.
“This is the third time I’ve used Isabella and her sister Great experience- they were on time very dog loving and respectful of our home and Teddy Bear !! We intend to use Isabella over and over again It’s great to have a trusted sitter ! Thanks, Dave”
“Ashley was AMAZING. She took such good care of our dogs while we were on vacation and I will definitely be asking to use her again. Ashley also went above and beyond to make sure we got photos and updates of the dogs, and made sure our home was secure while we were gone. Thank you so much Ashley!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy learning about different dog breeds and personalities. I’m starting with pet care for friends and neighbors. I can follow written instructions for feeding, fresh water, playtime, and check-ins, and I’ll send updates while you’re away. I’d like to meet you and your pet first so I can learn their routine and make sure we’re a good fit. I’m available for pet care on days and times shown on my calendar. I’ll confirm each request before accepting it so I can give your pet my full attention. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and arrange a meet and greet before the first visit. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, water, walks, and any areas of the home that are off limits. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep your pet on a leash when needed, and send an update after each visit. Before accepting a booking, I’d like to learn about your pet’s behavior, routine, and emergency contact.
About: Hello! I’ve pet sat for a variety of pets for 7+ years with different weight and medical needs. I also used to work at a Veterinary Hospital in kennel and boarding services. Washing and nail clipping services are available upon request. I love pets and will treat them as my very own spoiled child with lots of pictures, love, and allowed treats. I’m available to petsit throughout the week. Dog walking will be limited during weekdays. Longer stays gets an extended discount. I request all pets to be on regularly treated with flea medication. Let me know if your pet is leash broken and if they’re socialized! There’s multiple dog parks around the west coast for Florida and I’d love to be able to get your lovelies the best care possible. If you have any further questions, please feel free to send me a message! I currently work from home 8:30 am - 4:30pm and can adjust scheduling when needed. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. I am unable to house pets in my home but am happy to make frequent visits or stay in the clients home if required. I take pet safety and care seriously as there's nothing in this world more precious than ensuring pet comfort and care.
“Absolutely wonderful. It’s a great feeling when you know you can go on vacation and your dogs are loved and well cared for. Above and beyond my expectations. Thank you!!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She was kind, attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind, and it was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I truly appreciated the love and attention Alexis gave my dog, treating her as if she was her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Cindy was so great taking care of our cat and chihuahua! She sent regular updates and pictures and took great care of my fur babies while we traveled. She also brought the mail in! Thanks Cindy!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and would be happy to help take care of yours! I am comfortable with small, medium, large, and extra large sized dogs of all ages and have experience walking and pet sitting all sizes. I am an active person and thoroughly enjoy walking/swimming with dogs as well! My family raises seeing eye dogs for the blind, and working with such wonderful animals is a passion of mine. I understand that leaving a family member at home while you’re away can be difficult for both you and your dog, so I hope to alleviate some of that stress for you. Please feel free to reach out to me with additional questions. I am excited to meet you and your fur babies! I work from home and have a fenced yard! I can take frequent potty breaks and/or walks, and have the flexibility to be attentive to your pets needs throughout the day. I have a friendly black lab who loves everyone to keep your fur baby company. I also have a pool if your pup likes to swim!
About: I love all pets. Every dog I have owned from our three labs to our present fur babies which are two, Five year old German Shepherds, I have done the training when we got them as puppies. From house breaking, crate training , leash walking to basic commands. I take pride when people come into my home and tell me how well they behave. I am a retired Physical Education Teacher so currently my schedule is flexible! I enjoy being outside and would enjoy walking your dog daily or weekly. At this time I cannot care for pets in my home. I would be comfortable coming to your home to assist you with your pets when needed.
“Michele is wonderful, very gentle and loving with our rescue dog who has some fears. She is very professional and left our home in great shape as well. It was lovely to get home and see everyone happy and well cared for. She also sent us pics and texts updates daily which is important to us because we miss our dog.”
“Amazing sitter! My dog absolutely loves her!! Very attentive and spends quality time with my pup. She follows the feeding and potty break schedules well. Will be booking again!”
“She was so wonderful with my precious pet and she watered my plants. Definitely use her again. Great with my cat. Arrived early and did everything that my cat needed, including playing with him. Fantastic!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for a bit over 7 years. I have dog-sat many as well as walked many just for drop ins. I am very observant of my environment and know when to take control of a situation. Throughout my day, I tend to only finish up homework, study and go to the gym. That means I always have lots of time for my fur ball and for yours as well! I live in a very safe community where it is safe to walk the dogs. I always love taking the dogs down my street and back so that they can get a little bit of exercise!
“You couldn't ask for a better sitter. This was the 1st time we used rover and our dog had never had a sitter. Shawn used his charm and probably patience to win Bernadette over. He also left our house spotless. An all round gentleman. Would hire him again in a nanotechnology second”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Anclote is €50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anclote
Janelle was great! She came for a meet and greet and was diligently taking notes and asking great questions. She stayed with our pup for 8 days and gave us multiple daily updates which allowed us to fully enjoy our trip away. Would absolutely book Janelle again!
Skyy did an amazing job caring for my sometimes grouchy grandma dog, Coco. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos of their adventures. Skyy also took care to leave my home better than when she arrived. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Skyy.
Karen helped us on short notice. She really came to our rescue! It was so reassuring to have someone there to be with our pets that was confident and experienced. Within minutes the pets took to her and spent 2 days snuggled as close as they could to her. Our dog had lots of walks and ball playtime. She took good care of house while there as well. Hoping to make Karen a regular sitter at our house going forward.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She was kind, attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind, and it was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I truly appreciated the love and attention Alexis gave my dog, treating her as if she was her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again.
As always, Ashley is so amazing. She even stayed longer on each visit due to us being anxious after an incident that happened completely outside of her drop-in visits on our last trip. She always takes great care of our boys, and we will rebook her every time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Anclote is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. 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 3,467 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Anclote. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Anclote 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 Anclote 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 Anclote 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
