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.
“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 grew up around tons of dogs and have experience caring for both large and small breeds! I’ve owned everything from a Belgian Malinois, pits, to poodles, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and care needs—from the wildest pups to the calmest companions. I’ve also cared for stray cats for years, giving me plenty of experience with cats and animals that may need a little extra patience and understanding. I absolutely love animals and would be happy to provide your pets with the same love, attention, and care I give my own! Text me anytime, I normally answer super quick!!! And have very open schedule time for me, almost anytime is fine with me just give me a holler :) I can stop by for walks, attention, dinner time or even just some play time for your fur babies! Anything you need, just one text away
“She was great!! Perfectly communicative and sent us lots of updates on our baby! She is super passionate about animals and growing her business! I’m happy to support Haylie’s business !!”
“Sarah and Luiciana (her mom) came to meet us and Nala prior to us hiring her. Nala immediately warmed up to them and that gave us peace. While we were away they came to our home, spent time with Nala, fed her, let her out to potty and gave her allergy medications. They sent pictures and videos everyday. They kept in contact about Nala’s daily demeanor and just overall kept us informed on every detail. Their love for animals is evident! They were also very respectful of our home. I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of animals and have loved them all, I started watching dogs when i was around 9 years old and since then i have loved it. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I have a very flexible availability and can accommodate a wide range of needs. Whether your pet needs care during the day, evenings, weekends, or overnight stays, I am available and committed to providing reliable, attentive care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they receive the love, attention, and exercise they need while you’re away. I care for pets as if they were my own. I make sure they have plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh water, and meals on their regular schedule. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to help them feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have lots of love for all animals. I have pet sit for friends and family ever since I was 10 years old. I personally have had many pets growing up. Cats, small/big dogs, snakes, and bunnies. I'm currently not a student or working. I'm available at all times. I'm always very attentive to my pets, always giving them lots of love! I always make sure their water bowl is full, scheduled eating times, fun walks, and lots of toys to play with them. I will follow any instructions you give to me.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2, I also have had guinea pigs and fish before. I have training in taking care of young puppies prepping for potty training and minor injuries. My schedule is extremely flexible at the moment, and I currently have full availability to accommodate your needs. I will notify in advance other wise. Taking out to bathroom when crying, playing when bored or lonely, giving treats periodically, feeding when time, occasionally washing after playing outside or smelling bad.

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.
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brooksville is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 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 , 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.
