About: I've spent my entire life surrounded by animals. Cats, dogs, bunnies, and fish. You name it! It was like growing up with LOTS of brothers and sisters! Even my first job was in the animal field - at a petting farm :D. Animals are truly the best therapists, friends, and snugglers. I even got my pet first aid certification. Not only for my pets, but for yours too! I currently have a part time job so I have tons of extra play time for your babies. my availability is pretty open and flexible. So feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to work something out! I like to do pet sitting in my clients home so the animals can be in a familiar environment. Many fur babies find themselves anxious when their owners go away. So to minimize that fear, I like to have them in their natural environment with all the sounds, smells, and surroundings they're used to. I also like to do meet and greets ahead of time to make sure all parties are fully comfortable and assured! :)
“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.”
“Cheryl was wonderful! She took my dogs for a nice walk every day to make sure they got their exercise and followed the instruction I left with care. She communicated consistently, sent me loads of pictures, and did everything she could to put my mind at ease since this was my first time leaving my dogs overnight with someone I didn’t know. The dogs loved her immediately, and I could tell they felt safe and happy. On top of that, Cheryl went above and beyond. She cleaned up after herself, took out the trash, and even washed my bedding so I came home to fresh sheets. She exuded confidence and competency, which gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you so much. I’ll definitely use her services in the future.”
“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!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Over the years, I've helped teach basic commands and tricks such as sit, shake, and speak using positive reinforcement and patience. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, active, and happy, and I'll care for your dog with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. As a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I also lead an active lifestyle, so regular walks, playtime, and outdoor exercise are already part of my daily routine. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I always follow the owner's instructions to make sure their pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or a client's home, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they're comfortable and happy, and I'm happy to provide updates and photos so owners have peace of mind while they're away.
“What an awesome sitter. Zeus and Holly adored her and usually when we are gone, she won’t eat. But with Makayla she was eating and being herself. We received pictures and updates, house was perfect. Will definitely be using her again and again and highly recommend her!! Thank you!!”
“Alyssa was amazing! She was available for me last minute when there was an emergency and showed so much empathy to the situation at hand. Alyssa went above and beyond letting me know when my pup had every meal, when she was playing, and sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay that put me at peace. I will be using Alyssa for all my my care needs!!”
“Jasmine was honestly such a blessing… I didn’t have to worry about my dogs at all and they were absolutely loved as if they were her own. I got constant updates and I felt very comfortable that I didn’t have to worry. She was super reliable and a pleasure I would definitely book again.”
“Corey was absolutely amazing with George and Bosun! From the moment we met him, I felt confident they were in great hands. He was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that George and Bosun were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Coming home to two relaxed, content dogs meant everything to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Corey again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable Rover sitter!”
“Jessica did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs and house while we were away! She kept me posted with pictures and updates every few hours. I would highly recommend her! So happy to have found Jessica. She's exactly what we were hoping for in a trusted pet-sitter.”
“Jennifer stayed four nights with my three dogs. She was responsive and provided regular updates and photos. My pets were happy and well cared for, and my home was nice and clean when I returned. I definitely will use her again in the future!”
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.

Rather it is a daily walk, feeding, park play, or house sitting for date night or a getaway I have you covered.

FAQs for House Sitting - Brooksville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brooksville on Rover is $31.5 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 1,278 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brooksville. 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 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 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.
