“We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. Thank you Rover for bringing her into our lives. Our dog is absolutely part of our family and it is hard to leave her but sometimes you have to and to not have to worry about her or our home is such a blessing. Cheryl takes care of her like we would but she just might play with her more than us! 😁. We are grateful.”
“Sam is amazing! One of my dogs is extremely anxious and Sam took the time to gain her trust, which really put me at ease. She did a few drop ins prior to the house sitting which really helped get the dogs used to her. She took great care of all three dogs and my house while I was on vacation. I will definitely book with her whenever I travel.”
“As always, Makenna was just wonderful with Harry. His anxiety at having us gone is practically non-existent when she stays with him. So grateful to have her to care for Harry when we can’t be there.”
“Sharon was very personable and comfortable to be around. My dog, Apollo, loved her the second he met her. She took great care of him and treated him like he was her own dog. I highly recommend her.”
“Bryanna is fantastic! We’ve never felt so relieved in knowing that we have a person we can fully trust and rely on with our pups. We have a senior dog and a puppy. That combo can be a bit overwhelming, but Bryanna was able to handle them effortlessly. We know we will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Kelli was fantastic! She was great with Hazel, she provided updates and pictures. I really appreciated the pictures she left too! I would definitely recommend Kelli.”
“Kristen was a delight to work with , she kept me up to date on the progress of my dogs while I was away. She paid attention to detail of instructions I left , she was prompt and I appreciate her loving care for Roscoe and Lula , if you need a sitter you can count on her , thank you Kristen and thank you Rover”
“Riley was great! We felt confident that our dog was being taken care of so well. The daily updates took away any of the anxiety we had. We will definitely be booking Riley again.”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She was so great with our dogs and they loved hanging out with her! She was responsive and funny! We will definitely use her again!”
About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I haven’t had dogs and cats. I have experience with special needs cats, currently have a tripod and one with asthma. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals when the need arises. As for dogs… well, they can’t speak, so the obvious form of communication is belly rubs ;) As the son of a Veterinary I have been exposed to all types of animals and situations my entire life and given the opportunity I am confident I can manage all of your fur baby’s needs! I currently have a flexible schedule which allows me the freedom to work around your needs. Rather it is a daily walk, feeding, park play, or house sitting for date night or a getaway I have you covered. I am currently offering services at your home as to accommodate all of your fur baby’s daily routines and needs whenever the need arises.
“Bonnieli is amazing! she communicated clearly prior to meeting and arrived early with a smile on her face. my dog paco is a very anxious boy but loved playing and walking with her! her love for dogs is obvious and i cannot recommend enough”
About: Hi! My name is Krystal and I’ve had pets my entire life. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. At the moment I offer Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking only. I’m located in Spring Hill, FL and usually require bookings 24–48 hours in advance, though I’m happy to help with last-minute requests if my schedule allows. During visits I make sure pets get the attention and care they’re used to at home. This includes feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning cat litter boxes, and spending quality time with them so they don’t feel alone. I also send photos, videos, and detailed notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m comfortable working with pets that require special care or medication, including diabetic pets that need insulin. For dogs that need to burn energy, I offer walks ranging from about 0.5 to 2.5 miles, usually scheduled early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the Florida heat. For longer bookings (about 7 days or more), I like to spend extra time during visits whenever possible so pets get additional attention and companionship, always with the owner’s permission. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I work as a graphic designer from my home so I'm able to watch over your pets at all times and even do long term drop in checks on pets, and Pet Walking services. We have an unfenced home, but very big yard. I leave my dogs to roam, as they already know how far they can go. As for other pets, I’d walk them and keep them on leash if we are to spend some outside time
“Victoria was absolutely amazing watching our babies for a weekend! She sent picture updates while we were gone & treated our babies like her own. I highly recommend her and will 100% be using her again in the future!”
“Yenifer is amazing! She made sure to ask thorough questions and assure that she and her L&B team had all the information they needed to give our pets the best care. Both she and Khasilan - our assigned sitter- were friendly, professional and caring of our pets. We will definitely look to book her and/or Si again!”
“Dina did a great job taking care of my schnauzer. this was the first time I’ve left him with someone who isn’t family and Dina did great! She even left my house cleaner than what it was. I will definitely be using her again and soon. She sent pictures and updates every day.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,010 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bayport. 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 Bayport 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 Bayport 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 Bayport 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.

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.
