“They were absolutely amazing! My dog was treated so well, they played with her nonstop, sent so many amazing pictures and videos, and left my house so clean! Communication absolutely perfect. Can’t wait to book them again in the future. Sami was definitely sad to see them leave.”
“Madison was great with our dog and cat. We received multiple updates every day including pictures which we loved! You can tell our babies were loved and cared for! Already have our next time with Madison booked! Thank you for taking such good care of them!”
“Jill was excellent with Peanut & Biscuit. She constantly kept in touch with us throughout our weekend away with texts and pictures. Thank you Jill for taking care of our babies!!”
“As newcomers to the area, we were nervous about leaving our dogs with someone we didn’t know. Ashley put our minds at ease by sending regular updates and photos so we knew they were in great hands. When a few severe thunderstorms stressed one of our dogs, she reached out right away, asked all the right questions about how we normally would handle it and made sure our pup was as comfortable as possible. We appreciated her thoughtful communication and care she gave our dogs!”
About: I have taken care all kinds of dogs and cats Since I was a kid. I have two cats of my own and have had dogs in the past. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets. I am currently in nursing school. My classes are scheduled in the morning time with the afternoons free. I am also available for boarding on the weekends and weekdays after 3:30pm. I live in an apartment with my two cats with plenty of enrichment and toys available. At people’s houses I am respectful of their privacy and space making sure to clean up after myself.
“Charlotte was fantastic with our 2 dogs. She stayed at our home and was very respectful and clean. The dogs were so happy. She gave them all her attention. Will definitely rebook with her.”
“Danielle is kind and reliable- she was absolutely wonderful with Ares! She followed all of his care instructions carefully, including keeping his activity level low while he recovered, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos. It was clear Ares had a good day while still getting the extra care and rest he needed.”
“Mariana was absolutely amazing taking care of my two dogs during my 12-day vacation! She handled their daily medications, strict feeding routines, and regular walks with absolute care and professionalism. I received wonderful daily updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while away. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when I got home. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again!”
“Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊”
“Kelli is just the sweetest person and excellent with animals. Our dog really loves her, seemingly more than some of our previous sitters. She reaches out with pictures and updates. She is respectful with our house and leaves it very nice. She’s genuinely just a really kind and generous person. She’s my favorite go to sitter!”
“Meredith did a wonderful job watching our pup for the weekend. She kept us updated all weekend and left our house clean and tidy. We returned to a very happy, calm dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always been the caretaker for our family dogs and cats. I love my pets like family and understand how others feel the same about their pets. I am currently working from home part-time with a very flexible schedule. I am available to assist with dog sitting, dog walking, and in-home boarding on weekdays and weekends as needed. I have reliable transportation and can care for your pet in the comfort of your home. I am also available to provide care at my home if preferred. My dog is very friendly and comfortable around other dogs.
“My animals love KC. She takes wonderful care of them while we’re gone… maybe a little too well because they don’t seem to miss us! Lol. I love receiving pictures of them all cuddling on the couch and on their daily walks. We hope to rebook in the future during our next trip!”
About: We are located on 5 acres fully fenced in Land O' Lakes. It's like have a full doggie park out the front door. We love it!! We have been watching dogs for friends and family for years. The kids love playing with dogs. Any medication your pet(s) may need we will handle. Any special toys or beds are welcomed (and encouraged) to be brought, along with food/water bowls. We want your furry family member to feel right at home. If the furry family member needs special attention with anything we will accommodate those needs. When you are on vacation, your furry family member will be on their own little vacation in a home away from home. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. We love all dogs! Pet care is our everyday life. We are up between 5:30 and 6am. The larger dogs get a 1.5 to 3 mile walk every morning. The smaller and older dogs get a walk to more suit their individual needs. After the morning walk its breakfast time with one more short out before we are off to work. The pups get an afternoon walk along with a longer evening walk before dinner. Then shortly before bedtime we go outside one more time. This is normal day, but will be modified around the pups needs and our schedule. All pups are treated as they are part of our family while in our care. They get loved, pets and playtime. We allow all pups on the sofa and bed (unless asked by the owner not too).
“Could not have asked for more from Patrick! He was extremely easy to work with and did a fantastic job watching my dog Koda for 8 nights. He sent frequent updates with pictures, videos and even went above and beyond to give Koda a bath. He was very responsive and made me feel so at ease. I will definitely book with him again!”
“Giselle is a blessing. She took great care of my pups and my home and this will give me the ability to make suture trips in the future with peace of mind. She;s great. She left my home perfect and she sent me lots of pics and my pets were well cared for.I highly recommend.”
“Amy provided us with a perfect week. First of all, she got along wonderfully with our daughters, met all our needs, and communicated with us remarkably well. Honestly, it was our first time using this system, and we were quite worried at the start, but thanks to Amy, we enjoyed a safe and enjoyable one-week vacation. We wish we could give her not just 5 stars, but 100 stars. Our endless thanks to her.”
“Mary did a wonderful job caring for our Coco! Coco is 14 years old Shih Tzu and is on 2 medications and is very particular with his food. She took extra care and followed directions perfectly!! We have already scheduled her for another visit for a longer time. Thank you so much Mary!! 🐾🐶”

If you’re looking for a top-tier dog sitter, hire Rico! He set up a meet-and-greet beforehand so everyone felt comfortable, sent daily updates with a cool report card, and left our house completely spotless. He didn't just watch our dogs, he gave them the full babysitter treatment, taking them out and having fun with them the whole time. They had a blast, and we felt 100% confident with them in his care. Highly recommended!
As always, when I leave Pretty Kitty in Sami’s care I have complete peace of mind while I’m away. Sami sends me pictures and tells me of the funny antics they experience together. Sami also is very respectful of my house and tends to the kitty’s daily routines, including giving meds as prescribed. I highly recommend Sami as a very professional, compassionate pet sitter.
Sarah stayed with my dog for 11 days in my home. She is a lovely person and a wonderful caretaker!. My dog was happy and serene when I got home and my house was immaculate. I hope Sarah is available the next time I go away - in fact, I may plan my travel around her availability!
We hired Madie for a trip that another person canceled on us last minute. We needed a house/pet sitter. It was very stressful but Madie came in, did a great job with our pets and was very respectful to our home. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!! She gave us updates and pictures multiple times per day.
Mark took great care of our senior dog, Milo, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He communicated regularly, kept us updated, and followed all of our instructions carefully. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. We felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands. We would definitely book with Mark again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.
Mary is fantastic! It’s the 2nd time we book her to sit our dogs and we’ve had a wonderful experience both times. She’s proactive and if she thinks there’s anything she can do to better handle our dogs, she will ask questions and make it happen. She loves our babies and we love her!
We could not be more happy with having Nicole house/dog sit. From the moment we met to her leaving the house we had no worries about our pups being in good hands. Our pups are older (12.5 & 15.5 yrs old) and though they are for the most part very chill, they do require a lot of attention. Our little girl has three different medications she is on daily, and have to be given at specific times of day. She is also incontinent and has to be let out to pee every 2-3 hours to avoid accidents. They food is Farmer's Dog and the list could go on of important things that need to be tended to daily. Nicole had no problem at all with any of this. We were able to have a nice vacation away on the beach without a worry. Nicole sent updates with photos and even asked questions to make sure she understood my notes accurately. This was her first time staying with them and the house was spotless when we got back, with a youtube channel on our tv playing beautiful music. The dogs were very happy and I am pretty sure they miss her already!! Highly recommend Nicole (Eunice) !! Hope to have her back soon!! Very grateful-- thank you so much Nicole!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Carrollwood Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carrollwood Village on Rover is $43.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,353 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carrollwood Village. 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 Carrollwood Village 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 Carrollwood Village 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 Carrollwood Village 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 Carrollwood Village. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
