“Booked Emily for a weekend overnight stay. Had another great experience, as always! I have booked with Emily on multiple occasions now and already have future stays booked. I can not say enough good things about her! She is always professional, is a great communicator sending texts, pictures and videos throughout her stay. She takes great care of my home and always leaves it very neat and clean. But most importantly, she takes amazing care of my pets. She really takes the time to get to know them, their personalities and their routines. I have added pets to the herd throughout her stays over the last year with the most recent being a pair of high maintenance guinea pigs. She stopped by for a meet and greet before the stay and was very eager to interact with them and learn their daily care routine. Of course my 3 cats came running to greet her when she walked in. It has been so great finding Emily thru rover. I can easily travel without the worry of who will care for my pets while l am away. She is absolutely wonderful and l highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.”
“Katie was a fantastic sitter for our Emmie girl! We just recently adopted her and have been working through a lot of training challenges since she came to us with no prior training. Katie went above and beyond—not only taking great care of Emmie, but also giving us really helpful advice and support with training. We definitely recommend her and look forward to having her care for our babies again in the future!”
“Heidi did an excellent job taking care of our dog! She sent us daily pictures and updates on how he was doing. The house was spotless when we returned. We will definitely hire her again—she's someone you can trust with your home and pets!”
“Lillyana is wonderful! My babies love her and she is always willing and able to help out last minute, which is so appreciated!! I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is a repeat sitter for me!”
About: I have owned or cared for my own dogs my entire life. Having lost my senior 'Stanley' last year I find myself longing for a dog's company and spirit. My own dogs have lived long lives - two for 18 years, one for 17 so I know how to give meds and care for their special needs. Stanley's petsitter recommended I try Rover - so here I am! I can come to your house, or bring your dog here to my 1/2 acre fenced in yard, with a dog door to the house and lots of time to share with your pet. I am retired and in Tallahassee or the vicinity walking or meeting up with friends. I have lots of free time to share with your pet. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and a dog door to the house. I have a pool. I can come to your house if needed, or care for your dog here.
About: In my childhood I had many cats and I have now had a dog for almost 8 years! I started dog sitting about 3 years ago for my neighbors and I really enjoy it. I have taken care of their dogs while they were on vacation and have also dropped in while they were working. I have been around pets my whole life and I love them! I love going on walks and playing with them and am very passionate about animal care. I currently work part time at a bakery but my schedule is pretty flexible around that. I do school mostly online so work is the only time I wouldn’t be with the pet! I never work in afternoons, only in the mornings. Contact me and I can work a shcedule out for you! I am very diligent about following instructions for your pet and I am respectful of both your space and the pet! I am also very diligent about safety and will do my best to keep an eye on your pet the whole time. I will clean any messes that may be made and check locks before leaving every time. I always make it a habit to check for food, water, any potential messes, and locks every visit.
“Samara was amazing with Maple! Very friendly, attentive, responsible and loving to her. Kept me up-to-date while at work and took very good care of Maple. You can count on Samara to take good care of your pup/dog.”
About: For the past 8 years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets — from energetic puppies to senior companions, as well as cats, parrots, and fish. I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, shapes, and sizes, handling everything from walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime to litter cleaning and providing attentive companionship. Through this hands-on experience, I’ve learned how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that means keeping up with a playful pup’s energy or providing gentle, patient care for older pets. Beyond meeting their daily needs, I focus on building trust and creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment so every pet feels at home while you’re away. My dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals shine through in the care I provide. When you book with me, you’re choosing someone who will treat your pet like family and give them the personalized attention they deserve. View my calendar to find dates that align with your schedule and needs. My availability is very clear! Leaving more than enough time for me to visit and cater to your pet's needs. I currently have completely open availability in my schedule. I am open to visits, walks, house sittings, or overnight stays. I have a fenced backyard where your fur baby will have ample space to roam. I am also more than willing to visit clients' homes.
“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about six years and have experience working at a kennel and a vet clinic. I have my own dog, Lola, who I’ve had since 2020. I’m a student so my availability is limited but I’d love to try to work something out! My schedule varies as I’m a student but I can be flexible! If you contact me and send the details of your needs, I can work from there! I play with my dog a few times a day at least—she’s very energetic and fetch is her absolute favorite thing. I also cuddle with her and give her lots of love, and I carry this mentality with every pet I come across!
About: Throughout my life, I have always been drawn to animals. I have grown up interacting with dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, and more. In 2016, my family dog, Cayson, entered my life. Through caring for him, my love for animals intensified, as well as my caretaking skills. In my career, I am a caregiver, and that definitely spills over into how I take care of animals: with love, understanding, and care. I am currently working part-time as a CNA, so my weeks are relatively flexible. I have reliable transportation and I’m willing to travel to best accommodate owners. I care for any and all pets through asking the owner very thorough questions, paying attention to detail, and extending the same love and care I have for my own pet onto them.
About: I Grew up in a small zoo with 4 dogs, 2 cats, 6 chickens, and a lizard. My personal babies, peanut (14 y/o chihuahua) and Sophie Cat (4 year old Siberian) are my pride and joy. Currently in school and living on north side Tallahassee, usually on the move but super flexible with moving things around! Getting things done is never a problem for me and I love seeing pets thrive I know that every animal is unique and accustomed to a different lifestyle and I do my best to replicate exactly what their version of normal is, whether that’s frequent walks or quality time together

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I currently own 3 large pit-bulls.

My priority is you dog. I am available for doggy daycare over the weekends☺️ I have a 0.3 Acres fenced in backyard and lots of toys and activity. I also have 3 fur babies that are super friendly and love playing with other dogs. Basically making it a "homemade" dog park. But my biggest priority is to make sure your dog is getting the attention it needs and the safety. All the dogs will be introduced to make sure everything is good. In addition, my backyard can be separated into two part for safety.

Katie was fantastic! She stayed the weekend with my two dogs and cat while we were out of town. The boys loved her and I was worry free. She sent daily pictures and always asked for clarification if needed. She was very communicative and took great care of everything
Summer did a wonderful job looking after our dog- Atticus . She kept us up to date at all times about his behavior , mood and their daily schedule together and also sent us daily pictures of their time together that we loved . Summer is also very flexible and accommodating . when we had to unexpectedly add an extra day to our booking , she was extremely helpful and willing to stay .From the first time Atticus met Summer it was obvious he loved her .

FAQs for House Sitting - Centerville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 326 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Centerville. 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 Centerville 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 Centerville 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 Centerville 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.
