“Stefan was absolutely amazing. He was communicative, reliable, and so kind with our dogs. We came home to happy, calm pups and a spotless house. He went above and beyond in every way. As a fun surprise, he even showed us a few magic tricks (yes, he literally turned $2 bills into $20s 😂). But most importantly, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in great hands. We would 100% book him again.”
“Shelley was very communicative during her stay. After a rough start for not having the code to our door (completely my fault) things went very smoothly. Daisy and the house were well cared for.”
“I had a great experience with her staying at my Airbnb to take care of my dog for one night. From the beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took excellent care of him and kept me updated by sending pictures and messages, which I truly appreciated. My dog was happy, relaxed, and very well cared for while I was away. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and is very responsible. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her again to take care of my pet.”
“Valerie was AMAZING! My Great Pyrenees/Husky mix can be a handful and when he was stressed she reassured him and shd gave him lots of exercise while I was gone so he was a happy boy when I came back! My cat is a wanderer and Valerie looked out for her just like I do. She made my longest trip away from my babies the least stressful it could be :)”
“Allorah was an awesome pet sitter! She sent photos regularly and kept in constant communication in everything concerning our girl. It was so much better than I expected and I felt a ton less stressed knowing that our girl was being taken care of well above what we could have asked for. Icing on the cake, she left our home exactly how she found it, no extra messes to clean up. Thank you so much Allorah, we will definitely rebook with you next time.”
“Ally did an amazing job with our Zoe. Daily pictures assured us that Zoe was in good hands and bonding with Ally. Will definitely look to use Ally again when the need is there. And she even put her towels in the wash machine before she left on the last day. Super job.”
About: I own multiple pets and am willing to work with any pet. I also work at Disney so flexibility is very important but I am part time there I'm 25 years trying to make some extra cash. A lot of people call me an animal whisperer. Animals mean so much to me and I will not be cruel. I will follow all directions given. I'm not in college right now so my schedule is very flexible. I am not allergic to anything. And can deal with anything. I love all dogs and cats. I am easy to work with and won't put up a fuss for any of your instructions. I am good at giving medications as well. Animals deserve the best care so I am willing to achieve that goal. I enjoy playing with cats and dogs. A few little scratches don't bother me.
“Angie did an excellent job taking care of our pups ( one very senior) she sent lots of pictures and updates during her stay, House and dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. We can’t wait to book her again when the need arises!”

“My pup loved Brittney and she made him feel so comfortable! She had incredible communication and updates that left me no questions about my pups care and how his day was while I was away. I would absolutely use her service again and I know Argo is looking forward to it as well.”
“This was the second time we had Luciana stay with our dog and watch our house and she is the best! Jasmine is always well taken care of and happy when we get home. I highly recommend her!”
“Morgan did great with Max! We got plenty of updates throughout her stay with him and he seemed very comfortable with her which was great as it was our first time using Rover! We will certainly reach out for her services in the future.”
“We were in a real pinch when our original rover girl was unavailable to watch our sweet blind elderly dog for the weekend. Zainob was amazing with our sweet Lola girl. We thank her so much for watching our senior dog.”
“Aly was a lifesaver! She was available short notice when our initial sitter fell through. She took excellent care of our dog and tortoise. She sent photos and made us confident that our pets were in excellent care. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Oh my I can’t say enough about how awesome Yvonne and Pablo were with our fur babies. Simba fell in love with both of them. They are kind, caring and thoughtful folks. Our house was immaculate and our animals happy and content. I would recommend Yvonne to anyone who wants to have the best care for their pets.”
“Kaley was so good to my Murphy boy! Updated me throughout the day constantly with pictures, I love how I didn’t even have to ask for that. She stayed in my home with Murphy and had everything the way I left it when I got back home. Kaley will be my preferred pet sitter from now on!”
“Zoe was absolutely amazing with my dog! She treated him with so much love and care, and I felt completely at peace while he was with her. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I’m so grateful and would definitely trust Zoe again!”

Once again, Stefan was wonderful sitting our house and taking care of our heeler, Indiana. Our boy hit his little GPS step goal every day and seemed well-played-with, and our house was still immaculate when we arrived back home. Embarrassingly, we forgot we had a bunch of big monthly Amazon Subscribe & Save boxes arriving while away, and Stefan even stacked them all neatly off to the side for us to deal with when we got back. Very thankful for his care.
Angel did an excellent job watching our dog Jumba, very responsive whenever I sent a message to see how things were going, providing pictures of my boy, and asking questions whenever she was unsure about any of Jumba's behaviors (he's a goofy boy). She also cleaned up the day she left and the house was in the same order as when we left it. Could not recommend Angel enough to any other person who may enlist her services for house watching/dog sititng!
I have never left my dogs with anyone EVER! Heather was NOTHING short of amazing! She was prompt and went above and beyond for my fur babies! She eased my anxiety and my dogs’ anxiety! She communicated and sent pics without being asked! I would work my schedule around her availability so she could care for my dogs! Thank you Heather for loving our zoo crew😍🙌🏾🫶🏾
Ally was incredible! We are new to the area so I was nervous finding a new pet sitter, but was so lucky to come upon Ally. She took the time to come meet me and the pups weeks prior to her stay which made me feel so comfortable when it was time to leave. We got multiple photos each day and it was evident our pups were happy and healthy and well taken care of . She left the house clean and in great condition. Will definitely be contacting her again for any future trips!
Brigit really came through for us at the last minute, we were about to move our trip because our usual sitter was booked and it’s always a little nerve wracking to find a new one! But she will definitely be one of our go-to’s from now on and we’re so glad we found her. I could tell she genuinely loves and cares about animals and when she said her clients are her babies that’s when I knew we would be okay, I genuinely got the impression that she would protect Muffin at all costs. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing she was in good hands. She also kept the house so clean and followed all directions. We could not appreciate her more and are glad to have her in our sitter rotation!
Heather did an amazing job taking care of our babies. My Schnauzer is a really nervuos/anxious dog but she made a connection with Heather since day one. Having Heather at the house taking care of our babies gave us a sense of calm for our vacations. We were able to enjoy our trip without any worries. You will receive photos and communication from Heather. She will also leave your house how it was for when you return. Things were easier with Heather in the house. Thank you!!
Catherine was an amazing pet sitter! She took excellent care of my dogs, and kept me updated with messages and photos, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Citrus Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Citrus Ridge on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,822 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Citrus Ridge. 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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.

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.
