“Cheryl did great with all of our fur babies! Even with the puppy being apprehensive she stuck it out until he got comfortable with her. I love that she was consistant with sending pictures!”

“This is our 2nd time using Jennifer!!! She is great with all our dogs. She keeps us updated on any concerns and how they are doing!!! She is definitely our “go - to” for any future vacations!!!!”
About: Animals have always been attracted to me and felt comfortable with me. I have a few months experience in a vets office and over 1 year now as a private pet sitter. I work part time at a brewery, and have plenty of availability to watch pets. I can come to your house multiple times throughout the day and even stay over night if that’s what you prefer 😊 I usually like to set up a meet & greet and take notes on each pet to have as much information about them before my stay.
“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”
“Hannah was great! She sent me multiple photos throughout the night of our pups and kept me up to date with how they were doing! This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but she made me feel at ease and comfortable with our pups!”
“She was stellar. Made us feel completely comfortable and confident straight from the initial visit. She kept us updated the whole time and the boys loved her. You can always spot a fellow dog person <3”
“Estefania did a great job! Abby was happy as a clam when I got home and Estefania sent pictures and videos! Abby can be a pill and Estefania had no problems with her. She's wonderful.”
“Taylor is the best. She stayed at our home and took care of our dog who was in love with her. We felt completely relaxed and trusted her completly. We do hope she can spend more time with our dog in the near future.”
About: I have always adored animals. I care for them like they are people and do my absolute best to make sure they are happy, healthly, and 100% comfortable. That means going the extra mile in care. For example taking an extra 20 minutes to let them run around play before being left alone until I return or the owner makes it home. I have two pets, a two year old english cocker spaniel and a seven your old cat. So I am not afraid to clean up any messes. I have watched family friends, friends, and been hired by others in my community to care for their pets. I will treat your pet like family, because they are apart of your family. I will make any accommodations you need for your pet, just let me know what you need! I currently work full time 8:30-5pm with a one hour lunch break, which means during the week days I am available after 5pm. But on weekends I am available around the clock. To ensure your pets safety I only will do things that you allow and/or feel comfortable with. If we go outside in an unfenced location, your pet will remain on his or her leash. I typically try to take pets to the park, but I always about this ask this before doing so.
About: Grew up with many exotic animals and dogs, love my boxers and pitbulls! Many years taking care of animals been dog walking/ sitting consistently for over a year now! Cant wait to meet your furry friend! I currently work a fulltime job hybrid/remote but am available most days before 9 am and after 5:30 pm, i am a homebody so most weekends i am home. I live in a 2,500 sq foot home, fenced in lanai and backs up to a large lake with a big forrest preserve ao lots of room to explore!
“Gerard was amazing! He’s so kind and came on time and took care of my high maintenance dog. I unfortunately ran late coming home and puppy can’t be left on his own and he was kind enough to stay until I made it back. Highly recommend using Gerard if you’re looking for someone that’s responsible, considerate and who will take the best care of your fur baby!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve regularly watched my friends’ dogs and recently pet sat for my mom’s client for 4 days, where I made sure their pet was safe, comfortable, fed, and well cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to animals’ needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work at Amazon and I do night shifts 1am-11:50am Friday-Monday and my Off days would be Tuesday -Thursday would also be available Friday-Monday after 1pm I treat every pet like they’re my own! I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and attention, and stick to their normal routine. I love giving pets lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their fur baby is happy and well taken care of.
“This was our first time leaving our pets with someone we didn’t personally know, so naturally, we were a little nervous. However, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such wonderful care of our pets and made us feel so much more comfortable trusting someone new with our fur babies. It means so much to know that our pets were in good hands while we were away. We truly appreciate the care, attention, and love she showed them. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. Thank you for giving us peace of mind and treating our pets so well! ❤️🐾”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brooksville
Becky is truly incredible. I cannot say enough good things about her. She house-sat for my dogs and went above and beyond in every possible way. She sent so many thoughtful updates, photos, videos, and messages that I never once had to worry or wonder how they were doing. I always knew they were safe, loved, and completely cared for. My dogs are my babies, and trusting someone with them is not something I take lightly. Becky cared for them with such genuine love, presence, and attention, and that means everything to me. It’s rare to find someone who doesn’t just “watch” your pets, but truly treats them like their own. I am beyond grateful for her and will absolutely use her again, always. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your home and your animals, Becky is that person.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brooksville is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 Brooksville 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 Brooksville 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 Brooksville 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
