“Ashley was absolutely amazing with my babies. My original boarding was fully booked so I was hesitant to use Rover, but she made me feel at ease. She provided lots of updates and photos - will definitely be using her again! :)”
“Mariana was an absolute gem! She cared for our two dogs in-home and immediately made them feel comfortable with her warm, friendly, and loving energy. She kept us updated with adorable photo check-ins and her communication was always clear and prompt. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we returned—it’s clear she treated them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking her again!!”
About: We had a family dog for 5 years as older child to early teen. We have had our own family dog, three different ones, for our three children over the past 28 years and currently. Have taken care of neighbors dogs sometimes over the years. I'm currently working full-time but available for boarding on weekends beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Friday nights through 8:00 p.m. on Sunday nights. I am in a smaller side by side two units apartment with a fenced in backyard and screened in porch. I am very short walking distance walking to the upper Tampa Bay trail.
“Lucas did a great job caring for our lab. He engages well with the dog and seems to genuinely like caring for him. He was very respectful of our home and communicates well. Lucas is very responsible and trustworthy. Highly recommend him!!!”
“She did a great job keeping me updated on my dogs. She responds quick help ease the stress of leaving my dogs . my 2 frenchies seem to enjoyed their time with her. Thanks again.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Dog Care Experience with Michael! Michael is truly amazing! From start to finish, he was professional, kind, caring, and so attentive—everything you could hope for when leaving your beloved pet in someone else’s hands. He kept me fully updated throughout the day with photos, videos, and detailed notes on my dog Yoshi’s behavior, walks, bathroom breaks, hydration, and even bedtime routines. The level of communication was outstanding and gave me so much peace of mind. He even provided a full report card, showing exactly how the day went—from their long morning walk to Yoshi’s training progress. His updates were not only thorough but filled with genuine affection and humor, which reassured me that Yoshi was being loved and understood while I was away. What really sets Michael apart is his background in dog training—such a valuable bonus! Not only did he care for Yoshi with love and patience, but he also incorporated training into their time together, offering structure and reinforcing good habits. Vacations can feel a little uneasy when you’re worried about how your pet is doing—but thanks to Michael, I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. Knowing Yoshi was in such caring and capable hands meant the world to me. I can’t recommend Michael enough. He’s passionate about what he does, treats your dog like his own, and provides not just care—but connection. We’re so lucky to have found him, and I’m looking forward to more visits and training sessions in the future.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs ever since I was a child, and I currently have one that I'm taking care of now! If your dog loves to go outside, take walks and play, or even if your dog likes to rest and receive pets and cuddles, I'm happy to provide the same level of care as I would for my dog! I currently work from home off of a laptop, and my schedule is very flexible! I'll be able to provide your fluffy friend the proper care they need and give them all the attention they want! I'm happy to ensure that your home remains a safe environment for your pet while you are away! I'd also be happy to take pictures throughout my stay to provide peace of mind that your pet is happy and healthy!
“Stephanie was wonderful with Ares! She arrived 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, took him on several walks and to the dog park, and made sure he ate and stayed active with a couple naps in between. She practiced his commands and sent multiple updates throughout the day, keeping me informed the whole time. She even filled out a short report with detailed notes at the end of her visit. Overall, a wonderful experience and we truly appreciate her care! Thank you Stephanie! 😊”
About: I am currently a Dog Trainer at Petco! I have a strong passion for animals and approach pet care with love. I’ve cared for dogs of almost all breeds, sizes, and temperaments throughout the course of my life. Whether it’s maintaining their routine, going on walks, providing playtime/mental stimulation, or simply offering companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Through caring for my own 14 year old girl, I know how to be attentive to special instructions like dietary needs or medications. While they're away, I make sure pet parents feel at ease by providing regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where dogs feel secure and well cared for. I work part time as a Dog Trainer for Petco Sunday, Thursday, and Saturday. Those days are blocked off, but I am completely free to help you with your doggo the rest of the week at any time! I will care for your dog the way I care for mine - with the highest sense of responsibility and accountability. I understand that these animals depend on me for sustenance, exercise, stimulation, and affection. That is why I follow instructions diligently and always work with passion.
“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”
“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!”
“David was great with my dogs and cat while I was away for a few days on vacation! Treated the dogs as if they were his own. He even cleaned up before he left! 10/10 would recommend and would book him again in the future. You can tell he really loves the animals!”
“Isabella did a great job taking care of my two dogs and my home while we were on vacation for a week. My dogs were happy when we got home. Isabella made sure the house looked great too! I would recommend her without hesitation!”

What an amazing dog sitter!! Rico was fantastic. He sent daily photos with a log of activities and medication administration. We have an older dog with some special needs and he had no problem taking care of her. He also worked some kind of magic because both of our dogs seemed better trained since he stayed with them! Our flights home on his last day cancelled and Rico kindly extended an extra night so that we had peace of mind that our dogs were taken care of. It was such a relief to know he was there. Once we returned home, everything was so clean we couldn’t even tell he had stayed. This was our first time using RICO and we were so impressed with his services. Highly recommend and we will definite him again!
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!
Rylie looked after our two dogs over the 4th of July weekend. Between the fireworks and the constant thunderstorms they were two very anxious dogs, but Rylie took great care of them. We really appreciate how well she takes care of them - we never have to worry anytime we go away ❤️
Crystal was an absolutely wonderful housesitter and dogsitter! She took great care of our senior dog and our home, and was also great about communicating and providing updates (and we loved that she sent plenty of cute photos and videos too). We highly recommend her!
I have complete confidence in Sami’s care for my kitty. 😄 She needs meds & Sami kept a chart to assure that the meds were given as prescribed. Set that aside, Sami loved on my kitty as much as I do & kept her in her regular routine. I definitely would recommend Sami as a true professional pet sitter. 👍
AnneMarie & Elyse did an excellent job! This was my first time to use Rover and have someone house sit and they put my mind at ease from the start. AnneMarie went above and beyond the call of duty. My dog and house were found in excellent condition upon my return home. I would definitely use them again if they were not returning to school.

FAQs for House Sitting - Citrus Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Citrus Park on Rover is $49.95 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 4,342 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Citrus Park. 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
