About: My family and I have fostered dogs for years. That experience has taught me how to handle everything from nervous rescues to higher energy pups with patience and love. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or a calm routine, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. My job is hybrid so I’m in office 2 days a week but my work is flexible so there’s always room for adjustments. I care for pets in their own homes to help them stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Animals that love to cuddle or play go hand in hand with my personality.
About: Hi there! My name is Josie! Animals are my greatest passion in life. I have been working in the animal industry as a profession for three years, and am working towards a degree in animal behavior + my certification for professional dog training. I have experience with animals, needs, and equiptment of all kinds! I am red cross animal first aid certified, having direct experience with paralyzed dogs (IVDD), seizure disorders, and diabetics. I am fully trained to provide medication and vaccinations. I am trained thoroughly on walking equiptment from harnesses to prong collars. Whatever your baby uses, I can assure proper and ethical application. I am a proud pet mom to a rabbit named Hershey and a kitty named Gustav! I also have experience with birds (large and small) and rodents! I have love for animals of all kinds❤️ Animals are my entire world, and what I work with full time! I spend a day to day caring for my own furbabies and yours! If your baby is in need of care, I will do my best to make it happen! I am careful to intricately follow care instructions for your animals, ensuring every need is met to the same standards you set for yourself while providing for your pets!
“Kyra was awesome! I had a lot of changes leading up to the first time I have had to leave my dogs overnight since moving to Florida and she was sweet, caring, and accommodating. I will definitely be trusting her again with my dogs soon.”
“Nick won over the hearts of our two dogs (including an anxious, reactive pup) and our usually shy cat as soon as he settled in during our Thanksgiving travel. He provided multiple updates and photos, and gave us so much peace of mind! Nick exudes quiet competence and confidence with our pets, and was entirely respectful of our home. We would absolutely hire Nick again -- he won over our hearts, too.”
“Michael watched our 2 senior dogs for a week in our home. He gave them their daily meds and while we were initially reluctant to leave them, Michael quickly alleviated any concerns with daily updates and pics. He took great care of our pups and our home. We would definitely recommend him and have him back the next time we need a sitter.”

About: I am new to dog walking for others on an app, however my family has had a family dog since I was 10. I have dog-sat for my sister and mother over the years and love all animals in general. I treat dogs and cats as their own individuals and act as a secure space for them to be comfortable. I am new, but I do appreciate anyone taking a chance.

Right now I do not have my own fur baby, only because I know how much care they require and I would like to be in the best position possible to care for them myself. I do care for all pets and animals with unconditional love and affection, and have lived with pets where I did take a partial responsibility in care.
About: Hi there! I’m new to the Rover App but not new to caring for fur babies. The past 4 years I’ve had experience dog sitting for my older sister, who has a four year old Lab mix named Harper. I’ve watched Harper for weekends at a time feeding, walking, playing with her when my sister is out of town. I’ve also had the privilege of dog sitting for neighbors, dropping in their home while they are away and letting their fur babies out and feeding them. I currently live with a roommate who has a cat that I care for when need be as well. I love animals, and though I don’t have any of my own. I’ll take care of yours as if it was. Right now I’m only available for dog walking and drop-ins in your home. Not accepting over night sitting in my home at the moment. Book with me and have peace of mind your fur baby is cared for and loved while you’re away. I work full time throughout the week from Sundays-Thursdays. I usually work from 1pm-9pm or 3pm-11pm Though out the week. I’m free both Fridays and Saturdays anytime! I make sure the pets are getting the proper respect and care they need. I’m also well organized so I won’t miss any deadlines if the pet needs to take their medications or even a vet appointment if need be. I’ll make sure they get their food/water and that they use the bathroom on time as well. I also like to play with the pets to keep them engaged and have them not feeling too bored as well.
“Dana is the dearest sitter! This is her second homestay with our Louie and we just appreciate her so much. She treats Louie like her own and he just loves being with her. Dana is a very considerate house guest, too. We just love Dana and hope she will sit for us again!”
“My Ollie takes a while to warm to new people but Cory did it fast with his calm, kind and confident persona. Cory has walked Ollie a few times and stayed over in my house with him, and everything went great. I appreciate that!!”

“Tiffany was amazing! I booked her last minute after an issue with a scheduled sitter. My dog ended up being sick 2 days before I left for vacation and Tiffany took exceptional care of him, giving him his meds and making sure he was comfortable. I cannot thank her enough! She kept me updated and assured me he was ok. I will definitely use her again!”
“Christie accommodated our last minute request to care for our precious Stella. She kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy ourselves. Christie also administered Stella’s medication, and Stella is feeling so much better now thanks to her care. Thank you, Christie, for taking such wonderful care of Stella!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brandon
Ashley was AMAZING! She came to my home, and stayed with my dogs while we were gone to help keep my dogs daily routine. She sent pictures of them while we were gone and everything went great! If you are looking for someone trustworthy, go with Ashley. I will definitely have Ashley come back for our next trip.
Michael watched our 2 senior dogs for a week in our home. He gave them their daily meds and while we were initially reluctant to leave them, Michael quickly alleviated any concerns with daily updates and pics. He took great care of our pups and our home. We would definitely recommend him and have him back the next time we need a sitter.
Lauren always takes great care of our 2 dogs. They are older and have allergies so they can be a lot of extra work sometimes but she is patient and loving towards them. I also appreciate how dependable she is, we have had her sit several times and it’s a huge plus, once she accepts the booking we know that she always keeps her appointment.
I couldn't be happier with Meah's cat-sitting service for my 2 fur babies. She showed so much patience with my cats, ensuring they were comfortable and cared for. Plus, she left everything clean and neat. I will definitely be hiring her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
Jasmine was nothing short of amazing! She took care of our two dogs and our house for three days while we were on vacation. She is a natural with animals, making our rescue dogs feel safe and secure. They loved her! On top of taking them on walks and playing with them, she also kept our plants alive during the heatwave and fed the multitude of wild birds who frequent our feeders. She even laundered the sheets on the bed where she slept. All and all, we found her to be trustworthy and reliable, just like one of the family. We're so lucky to have found her.
Emma was fantastic! We so greatly appreciate her communication, promptness, extra care, and attention to our dog, and are home! She was absolutely a pleasure to work with, and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her! We will definitely be booking again!
Extremely reliable. Arrived exactly on time. She immediately got down with Charlie (who is recovering from surgery), and even though he is typically shy, he took to her right away. The pictures showed she took extra care. Plus her sitting with my boy at our home was necessaryfor him. And those 4 hours allowed me to run errands and such. Will use again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brandon is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $70 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Brandon 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 Brandon 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 Brandon 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.

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.
