About: Ive taken care of many dogs including my own and friends, I also have house sitting experience! Whenever some relatives/friends go on vacation I often times am the one that fills in and watches their pups! I work as a substitute teacher and during the summer and some breaks, there are no jobs. So Im looking for something that combines my schedule and fulfillment. I always start by what they like to do and go from there. Some dogs like sleeping and occasional walks; while other dogs prefer jumping and running. So I acter to the dogs needs and the owners wants!
About: I've owned and cared for animals my entire life. From guinea pigs and dogs and cats to horses. Your pet's care, comfort and safety will always be my first priority. I am recently retired so I am readily available to help take care of your fur baby. I am available days, nights and most weekends. At my house I have a fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. At your house I'll follow your rules and guidance for your pet's comfort and safety
About: I've been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and attention as well as senior dogs who require a gentler approach. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, playtime, and providing plenty of companionship. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I prioritize communication with pet parents by providing regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet and make sure they receive the same love and attention they're used to at home. I am currently working part-time but looking for a way to help out some people in the area with their furry friends! Available almost everyday. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions closely, maintain a clean environment, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Zhilin was a perfect sitter. From daily pictures / videos, to constant updates on how the little kitty was doing, I genuinely could not have asked for anything more. I can go on and on about how good she was, and I will definitely be using Zhilin again to watch Simba. Highly recommend!”
“Kristina is an amazing dog sitter! She asked lots of questions to get to know our dog, she is clearly an animal lover and we felt comfortable knowing that our dog was being watched by a responsible and caring person. Definitely will have her dog sit for us again!”
About: I’ve fostered 3 dogs and helped them be rehabilitated, I believe in what’s best for pets and know they are just little babies with fur. I am mainly free all week, if I’m not shopping of course, but I spend all my time with my dog and love spoiling him. I only have Sundays and Wednesdays busy because I am a Christian and attend all the services when I can. My home is one story with a fenced backyard, it is cleaned daily and deep cleaned once a week, the backyard has a tall white fence with a ton of room for dogs to play and potty.

Shawnee was absolutely fantastic! I can’t say enough good things! She sends pictures, updates, and responds very quickly to messages! She went above and beyond taking care of my parents 2 dogs overnight at their house. I highly recommend her and definitely plan to use her again and again! Thanks for every Shawnee, you’re awesome!!
Madison did an incredible job sitting with my pup Evie who is extremely anxious. Madison was so kind, patient and loving that gave us peace of mind that Evie was in good hands while we spent the day at the theme park. She’s super friendly and an excellent communicator sending frequent updates and photos. I would absolutely recommend Madison to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much!

FAQs for House Sitting - Auburndale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Auburndale on Rover is $50.51 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,786 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Auburndale. 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 Auburndale 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 Auburndale 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.
Tip: 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 Auburndale 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
