“Joyce did a great job with Bellini. She regularly sent me images and updates on my pet's behavior throughout my time away. Communicative, reliable, and an obvious pet lover - I felt confident my cat and my home were in good hands during my vacation. I'll definitely be working with Joyce again in the future. 5 star recommend!!”
“Tyler took wonderful care of our three dogs. They absolutely love her. She listened to our instructions and made us feel confident that our dogs were safe and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Anthony was so patient with our boy. He tried everything to get him to take his meds, walked him and hung out with him, establishing trust. We were very nervous about having a new sitter. And 13 dog doesn’t adapt well. But Tony did a great job.”
“Our little Dachshund mix and our nervous, smart one year old Shepherd mix pup loved Justine and we could enjoy our vacation without worry. She is very sweet and took great care of our home as well!”
“Hunter was awesome. He was very attentive to our fur baby and respectful of our home. Hunter also kept us regularly updated with pictures and videos so we knew our puppy was well cared for. I will definitely be rebooking Hunter the next time I need a sitter and I will recommend him to everyone ☺️”
“Yasmin is such a sweet and patient soul! She has such a calm disposition that put my family at ease to trust in taking care of our fur babies. Such a wonderful experience working with her. We feel lucky to have met such a gem of a dog sitter who truly LOVES dogs. Upon booking she offered to meet our dogs the night before to meet and get acclimated with the dogs. This was comforting…and she even brought each of them a little chew toy to play with! On the day of our booking she was great with communication, updates, and sending pictures of our girls!! It was awesome to see them having fun, playing and resting throughout the day. My German Shepherd is very high energy and she took her high play drive like a pro! When I got home she was happy and mellow from being active all day! From my family to yours, thank you Yasmin!!💗”

I strive to be a caring, accountable, and honest candidate. I am also responsible and reliable. I’ll make sure your pets get lots of love and care. My neighborhood is really great for walks, there are hiking trials all over the place, and my yard is also a great place for dogs to hang out, as well as the couch. Description of Skills: I will take care of property watching, plant maintenance, garbage disposal, pet care, mail collection, basic pet training and overall house keeping. Further I have prior experience dog and cat sitting, and house sitting. If you have any questions about me or would like to see my resume please feel free to reach out!

About: Fur babies love that I genuinely offer love and care at first sight and touch. With more than 10 years of first hand experience and knowledge, I truly enjoy interacting with the most intelligent, loyal, and loving creatures of them all. I have great pet care experience in: bath & grooming, tick & flea removal, and hair dematting. Also, I have experience administering medications. My key objective is to keep your fur baby comfortable and happy every minute under my watch. I have a flexible schedule with open extra early or late bookings for weekdays and weekends. I truly believe our beloved fur babies have a 6th sense and they will always be the best judge when sniffing people out if you get what I mean.
About: I mostly have experience with cats and dogs, but learning about the care of other animals if needed sounds like no problem to me at all! I currently am working full time, so evening care and weekend would be perfect for me. If you need any care in the evening that would be great. I am a very quiet person most of the time, and I try my best to not stress out any animals and to take care and clean them. I do work from 7am to 4pm
“Always such a pleasure to see Victoria. Our husky, Mika, absolutely loves her. Her dog, Nova, is the sweetest too. Victoria is so wonderful with Mika and makes sure that she has a safe and fun time! Highly recommend.”
About: I used to have a dog of my own. Having him from 9 months old, to being 9 years old. He was a very easy obedient dog to take care. I miss him so much! Since my place isn't big enough to have any dogs. I would love to take care of other people's dog or puppy. I'm currently unemployed. Putting together some ideas for new project. Just need to work to keep myself busy with Rover.com. It would fit into my schedule M-F when parents are at work or on vacation. I'm a clean and organized person. I always made sure that my dog was clean and also to potty on command. I like to make sure to give the dog attention and be playful and have training them at the same time.
“Five stars isn’t enough. We’ve had great dog sitters, but Beverly blew us away with her kind, thoughtful, and communicative approach. We’ve never felt more comfortable and confident leaving our home and dog in her extremely capable hands. Thank you, Beverly! Will book again and again.”
“Haley was wonderful taking care of our dog and home. We have already booked her for multiple dates. Bubby was happy so we were happy! She also had no problem giving him his meds.”
“This was our initial contact with Loretta. Last minute, very old dog, and a holiday week. special needs and overnights. That all seems like a tough nut to crack. Loretta did just that with maturity and professionalism. We will be asking for her services going forward.”

“Jaclyn watched Pancho for 3 days while I was out of town. She kept the house tidy and sent updates/pictures throughout the day. She is caring and friendly and I will definitely use her in the future.”
“Here's a thoughtful review for your dog sitter Jenna: We are incredibly grateful to have found Jenna as our in-home dog sitter. She’s been amazing with our fur baby, treating them with so much love and care every time we need her. Jenna’s communication is always spot on, keeps us updated and is quick to respond, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She’s not only reliable but genuinely passionate about taking care of our dog, and it shows! We feel lucky to have her, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter! Thank you so much Jenna!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Citrus
Jordan was amazing! My senior citizen has a history of bad anxiety especially around the Fourth of July with the fireworks but Jordan kept me reassured that my boy was doing great and that made me at peace while I was away, which is all I can ever ask for while I’m away. She sent pictures and updates and I would definitely reuse her again.
As always, we felt completely comfortable knowing Gio was caring for our dog and cat. He sends regular photos and communicates clearly, which we really appreciate. He also took great care of our home and followed all instructions perfectly. Having that kind of peace of mind while traveling is invaluable. Our pets absolutely love Gio!
Joyce is amazing! My babies warmed up to her immediately 🤗. I’m very picky about who I trust with my dogs, but I felt completely comfortable with Joyce from the start. She sent me pictures throughout her time with them, which I absolutely loved as a crazy dog mom! I highly recommend Joyce.
When I met Olivia, she met and held eye contact. I knew right then she was very mature for her age and was the person I wanted sitting my family. All instructions followed. Cats were beautifully groomed. I would not hesitate to book her again. She exemplifies 5 star service. Thank you so very much for putting up with my systems based helicopter parent ways!

FAQs for House Sitting - Citrus
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Citrus on Rover is $43.29 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 15,023 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Citrus. 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 Citrus 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 Citrus 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 Citrus 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 Citrus. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
