“Ma’lisa was awesome with my dogs. She sent me pics daily and let me know how they were doing. This is the first time our dogs have stayed with a “stranger” and she was great with them! I highly recommend using her services to take care of your fur babies. I will definitely use her again for our next family vacation. Thank you for taking care of my babies!!”
“Sandra has a beautiful soul. She took such good care of my babies. She sent me pictures of them made into these lovely collages that I know took time and care to create. I rebooked her for my next trip already!”
“I highly recommend Olivia! She is incredibly friendly, reliable, and easy to work with. Communication was excellent from start to finish; she kept me updated regularly and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Most importantly, she was loving, attentive, and genuinely cared for my dogs as if they were her own. It gave great peace of mind knowing they were receiving so much affection, attention, and care while I was away. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned. Again I would recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“I recently hired Abby for overnight pet sitting, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment she arrived, it was clear my pets were in caring, capable hands. She took the time to understand each animal’s routine, quirks, and comfort needs, and it showed—everyone was relaxed, happy, and well cared for when I returned. I received thoughtful updates throughout the stay, including photos and little notes that gave me total peace of mind. The house was left spotless, and my pets clearly adored the extra attention and calm presence. It’s rare to find someone who is not only reliable and professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. I will absolutely be booking Abby again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy overnight sitter who treats your pets like their own.”
“Its our first time booking with her and definitely won’t be the last. She sent lots of photos and updates it felt like we never left lol. The dogs love her and received lots of love from her. She’s the best!”
“Rebecca was wonderful with our anxious old pup and took the time to come meet him beforehand and learn about him. Hoping she’s available to book for our other upcoming travel dates!”
“She did an amazing job with my fur baby. She was easy to communicate with and didn’t sound annoyed 1 time with my repeated “just checking on you calls”. I pray that she remains available for all my upcoming travel dates. Thank you !!”
“Toneshea was amazing with our fur babies! She managed to get even better pics of Kobe aka Larry than I ever could! They actually took a selfie together! Toneshea was great with updating me on the kids and following instructions that were left for her! I didn't worry about my fur babies at all! I would highly recommend Toneshea!”
About: Hi! I’ve taken care of my family and friends dogs for several years! I love cats and dogs and the joy they bring to us humans. I’m currently working from the months of August to May (full-time). I usually have most holidays off. My schedule when I am working is from 5am-4pm. I usually like to go to my clients house and watch animals there. I’m pretty much comfortable as long as there is open communication between us.
“Rochelle took great care of our girl while we went out for the 4th of july! She made sure Bella was comfortable and loved on and felt safe! Will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and other pets my whole life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I have two cats of my own. Ultimately, I’m a passionate animal lover and will treat your fur-baby with all the love and respect they deserve :) I’m currently doing an externship, so I’ll mainly be available Monday-Thursday after 6pm, Fridays, and weekends. I’m also happy to get a quick play session or walk in before my externship if needed! I treat every client's home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow your pet's routine closely with feeding, walks, litter care, and playtime while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'm also mindful of keeping your home tidy and sending updates while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so both pets and their owners feel at ease.
“My intuition regarding Amy was spot on! She was wonderful; loving, caring and attentive to needs of my pets as well as mine. I was able to travel and enjoy my trip thanks to Amy. All was good while I was away, and at home when I arrived. I will CERTAINLY be hiring her again. Do not think twice in hiring her!!! Thank you Amy for EVERYTHING ?”
“Kiera was responsive and took great care of our dogs while we were away. Even when they got into stuff, she cleaned up after them and took great care of the house and doggies. We would definitely book her again!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long I can remember! I am a patient, dependable pet owner experienced and comfortable with all ages and breeds, including cats, kittens, puppies, seniors, and handicap pets, providing attentive and basic medical care with compassion. During drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting I dedicate my time to loving your fur babies and making them as comfortable as possible while you are away. I am a high school teacher, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am available full time this summer for drop ins or house sittings when needed, and I look forward to spending time with your animals! When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks and continue their normal routine to make them the most comfortable. I care deeply for pets, providing attentive, daily care. At home, I sit with my cats during meals, clean, play, and groom them. During visits, I enjoy snuggling, going to walks, and spending quality time with your fur babies, to make them feel safe and comfortable.
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I'm patient, attentive, and always focused on each pet's individual needs and routine. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they're in caring, reliable hands. I currently work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable care for your pets. On weekdays, I'm available for morning walks between 5:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., and I can stop by after work between 4:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or whatever your pup needs. On weekends, I have open availability and can accommodate visits throughout the day. I also offer overnight and extended house sitting for vacations or longer trips, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home while receiving the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether you need care for a day, a weekend, or an extended vacation, I'm happy to help! I will care for your pet the way you know is best! Every dog has a unique personality, routine, and preferences, and I'm committed to following the schedule that keeps your pup happy and comfortable. Whether it's meal times, walks, playtime, or naps, I'll stick to the routine you provide. I'll make sure your dog has their favorite toys, plenty of love and attention, and healthy treats (with your approval, of course). Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I also believe it's important for your furry friend to feel comfortable with me. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your dog before sitting so we can build trust and help them feel relaxed while you're away. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet will be cared for as if they were my own.
“Great with our dogs and very trustworthy. Is always on time and communicates well. Our two larger sized dogs absolutely love having her watch them and I will certainly be using her again when we travel out of town!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. I started volunteering at the Pet Resource Center in Tampa a few years back, and was lucky enough to get a job there. We not only provide them daily care, but get to have fun as well. Feeding, walking, enrichment and overall care. I have 2 days off that I’d be able to dedicate to pet care. I would be available in the evenings as well. I’m already providing pet care at my full time job, but am looking for additional activities. N/A as I would not be offering care or services in my home, I’d only be going to clients homes to provide services needed. Thank you

We always love working with Toneshea. She’s the first sitter we’ve had that I really feel like we can fully trust. She leaves the house clean, we always seem to have annoying packages delivered while she’s here & she handles them with all the patience, & she takes care of our girl with all the love & care we could hope for. We love Toneshea!
Lauren is the absolute best! I’ve used her services multiple times for my two pups and she has exceeded my expectations every time. She goes so far out of her way to make sure that my dogs are not just comfortable but that they also get their energy out, get tons of pets and attention, and that they are safe at all times! My dogs can be complicated and reactive, and she is excellent at navigating their reactivity with other dogs! She sends ample updates, photos and communication to give my boyfriend and I peace of mind while away and is extremely responsive. I also have a dog with a finicky tummy and she handles her occasional accidents with such patience and care! I always come home to a house that’s clean and puppies that are happier than ever! (: I’ll continue to book with Lauren for as long as I can, and would highly recommend her to anyone!
We had a wonderful experience with Olivia! From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly cared about our dog’s well-being. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable throughout the stay. It was obvious that they received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. We truly appreciated the sitter’s attention to detail and willingness to follow our dog’s routine and special instructions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with Olivia anytime we need a sitter!
Morgan was absolutely wonderful! She followed all of my instructions perfectly and went above and beyond by vacuuming the apartment before she left. She stayed for the entire weekend and was incredibly trustworthy, thoughtful, and kept me updated the whole time. I had total peace of mind knowing she was there looking after my two cats. I highly recommend her and 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.
Fantastic experience with this sitter! She stayed overnight with Jaxx and took great care of him, regular walks, fresh water, and awesome communication throughout. I really appreciated the photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Jaxx was clearly well cared for. Would absolutely book with her again!
Christian was a lifesaver! We had a last-minute cancelation, but Christian took the stress out of the situation. Timely communication, professional, and SO good with our animals. I felt at peace knowing Christian was with our fur babies. We will DEFINITELY rebook next time we go out of town. Thank you, Christian!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Brandon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brandon on Rover is $54.83 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,311 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brandon. 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 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 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 Brandon. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
