“Rita was wonderful! She took care of our three dogs for 3 nights in our home. She took lots of pictures and gave us updates throughout the day. She also left our home very tidy. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Christine did an amazing job watching our 2 Frenchies in our home! Both of our dogs require meds, and one needs meds 3x daily for epilepsy. She sent text updates with pictures and videos! She responded very quickly when we messaged to check in, which allowed us to enjoy our quick weekend getaway knowing all was well back home! She even stayed to monitor the dogs when our house lost power for a few hours during a storm! We are very grateful we found Christine and would not hesitate to recommend her to someone looking for an excellent sitter! We look forward to using her in the future!”
“Our pups were happy and healthy when we got home! Nightly updates and pictures were greatly appreciated. Shannon was great with communication, respected our routines, and the house was clean when we returned from our trip.”
“Blaize was very responsive and messaged me multiple times to coordinate my pup’s care and ask questions. She also sent multiple photos. She also left my place very clean. We had some back and forth over the start and end time, but she was able to stay for most of the booking time. Highly recommend! Thanks Blaize!”
“Kat is amazing! She stayed at our home for three nights with our two big yellow labs. We received updates and pictures every day, and it was clear they were getting lots of love! Came home to a clean house and happy pups!! We feel SO lucky to have a house sitter we can rely on! Thanks so much, Kat!!”

“Reanna did an awesome job taking care of our 2 puppies and kitty! She communicated with me while we were away sending us pictures. When we got home, the house was clean and puppies and kitty were happy and healthy! I will DEFINTILEY schedule with Reanna again and I give her a 10 out of 10! Great for our peace of mind while we were away. Thank you!”

“We love Mary! Not just us but Toby too. Toby is so happy she arrives because he loves her too! She is so attentive and caring. Our dog needs TLC due to anxiety and taking meds and Mary always takes care of Toby like he is her own. We know Toby is in the best hands when we are away!”
“Becky was a fantasy dog sitter during our 11 night trip out of the country. She sent us photos and updates every day and immediately brought up any concerns. She took our pup for walks even though we have a big back yard and gave him lots of pets and snuggles. She went above and beyond bringing in our mail and watering the plants too. We’ve already booked her for our next out of town vacation.”
“I have never left my dog with anyone other than family or friends so I was nervous using rover for my first time. I had a friend cancel for watching my dog Saint a DAY before a trip I had planned. I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do. I found Kierra and rover and gave it a shot. She accepted my booking the day before I left and I couldn’t be more thankful. Kierra exceeded my expectations x 100! My dog Saint loves her and when I came home he was happy and well taken care of. Kierra checked in with me and sent me photos during my time away which made me feel sooooo much better. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, and will be using her services anytime I go out of town again and can’t take my baby!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, often when they are living side by side. I have the patience and expertise required to properly traverse taking care of both pets, even living together. I can work part or full time as needed and am available any day of the week with at least one days in advance notice. I have a fenced yard and 3 bedroom home. I currently am living with 1 Australian Shepard and 3 cats, all of which live together happily.
“Benjamin is always super communicative and sends lots of updates with pics when he watches our pup. She loves people and company and I know he spends a lot of time with her when he house-sits for us, which is much appreciated! We will definitely continue to use Benjamin for future trips.”
“Finding someone you can truly trust with your beloved pet is priceless, and we feel so grateful to have found that in Maria. She is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, respectful, and went above and beyond to make sure both Chico and I felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet with the same love and attention they would give their own. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you Maria for taking such amazing care of our sweet Chico!”

Christine stayed with my two dogs for a week at my house and did an amazing job caring for them. She is very thoughtful and provides detailed and frequent updates regularly. I have one dog with a seizure disorder, she administered of his medication and cared about his general well-being. I will definitely be scheduling Christine again in the future. Thank you for everything.
James did a great job with my dogs while house sitting! He was communicative, reliable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs are used to a lot of attention and company, and he made sure they were well cared for and comfortable. He also left my home clean and exactly as I left it, which I really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I’d definitely book with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups! 🐾
Iva did a fantastic job house sitting for our cat. We left for 6 days and didn’t want the cat to be left alone so we found someone we could trust. She provided regular updates, photos, and let us know if she had any questions about the house or the cat. We arrived home this morning and both the cat and house are perfect. :) Thank you, Iva!
Donna was a fantastic in-home pet sitter for my dog Sky. Sky is elderly and needed a lot of attention and Donna was very caring. She made sure she received meds and walks right on schedule. She was also very neat and clean in my home. I highly recommend Donna.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bay Pines
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bay Pines on Rover is $42.8 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 3,696 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bay Pines. 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 Bay Pines 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 Bay Pines 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 Bay Pines 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bay Pines. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
