“I cannot say enough great things about the care and attention that Alycia provided to my boys while I was out of town. This was my first time trusting a stranger with my dogs. They absolutely loved her and it was so comforting for me to be able to receive text messages and pictures. Knowing my dogs were well taken care of made it so much easier for me to focus on my trip.”

“Asja was absolutely incredible taking care of our two cats, Diesel and Nyx, and our English bulldog, Harley, while we were away in Europe. During her stay, Harley developed anxiety that caused her to get sick, but Asja’s attentiveness saved the day. She noticed right away that Harley was not feeling well, kept us fully informed with clear communication despite the distance, and handled taking her to the vet seamlessly. She stuck directly to the vet treatment plan and managed giving Harley her new medications without any issue. On top of managing Harley’s health, Asja went completely above and beyond when Harley had a few carpet accidents. She brought her own carpet cleaner and cleaned everything up so thoroughly that when we walked through the door, the house was spotless. It literally looked like no one had even been there. Being all the way in Europe could have been stressful, but we had zero stress about our animals because of how wonderful Asja was. If you need a sitter who is observant, reliable, communicative, and will care for your pets like her own, book Asja. We could not have asked for better care and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Brian really went out of his way to make sure our huskies had a fabulous time while he was pet sitting for us. Not only did he offer to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure they would both be comfortable with him staying with them in our home while we went out of town, but he was also very sensitive to and accommodating towards our dogs’ separation anxiety and took extra time with them to make sure they were feeling lots of love and security with us out of the house. He truly is a top notch pet sitter and he also has quite a gift when it comes to photography! The photos he sent us throughout his time watching our pups were studio quality and you can really tell that he has a passion for what he does. Not only did he take wonderful care of our dogs but he also even fed some of the neighborhood birds that usually come visit our backyard throughout the day. His calming demeanor was perfect for our anxious pups and his attention to detail in following all of our instructions both in terms of medication management for the pups and special considerations for the house as a whole were second to none. You can rest assured that if you are looking for a great pet sitter that you need not look any further than Brian!!! You might even find that he goes the extra mile by feeding your neighborhood crows, putting your trash/recycling cans out when he noticed it was collection day, and bringing in packages from outside your front door. Plus he is very neat and tidy which is a huge bonus when he leaves the space looking better than he found it in every room he walks through. Definitely a 5 star rating if I have ever seen one!!!”

“We love and appreciate Heather so much for taking the best care of our fur baby! This was our first time having someone stay at our house while we went out of town and Heather did such an amazing job. She asked lots of questions and was very communicative with us. We will definitely ask her to watch our baby again in the future!”

About: My experience includes dog walking, overnight pet sitting, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I also have experience for bearded dragons and other reptiles, including feeding, habitat care, and handling routines. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a lizard, I understand how important it is to give pets patience, attention, and proper care. I’m reliable, responsible, and able to carefully follow any instructions to make sure every pet gets the best care possible. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I had just graduated and will have a very open and flexible availability. Since I’ll have extra free time, I’m able to be dependable, responsive, and give pets lots of attention and care throughout the day. I regularly walk and care for my own dog, and spending so much time with him has definitely made me his favorite person in the house.

About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant as well as a kennel technician and worked at the local pet store I have open availability currently as I only work on the weekends. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other clients through word of mouth/rover. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers

“Katelyn has been great with Ares, especially as she’s still getting to know him. She does a wonderful job keeping me informed on his behavior and is very communicative while navigating the challenges that come with the puppy stage. I truly appreciate her effort, patience, and willingness to work with him. Thank you for everything, Katelyn! 🩵”

About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind throughout your trip. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they get the attention they deserve. I’m also patient with puppies who are still learning routines and gentle with senior dogs who may need extra care, slower walks, or medication reminders. My goal is for both you and your dog to have a stress-free, positive experience from start to finish. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet gets plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and bathroom breaks on time. I don’t believe in just stopping by—I make sure each dog feels comfortable, cared for, and gets quality interaction. I closely supervise pets during walks and playtime, make sure they always have fresh water, and keep doors, gates, and leashes secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and cared for, while making the experience as worry-free as possible for you.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I helped my childhood dog deliver all 9 of her puppies, cared for them, and helped find each of them a loving home. I’ve also dog sat a variety of breeds and ages, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve had Journey, my own dog, for 8 years, so I’m very comfortable with the everyday responsibility, attention, and love dogs need. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m a stay-at-home mom to a toddler, so I have a flexible schedule and am home often. I’m able to work walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting into my routine while giving each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m happy to do my very best to work with different schedules and routines to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I take pet safety seriously and treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I follow their normal routine and their owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific behaviors or boundaries to be aware of. I make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure, keep dogs supervised, and don’t leave them with anything they shouldn’t have access to. I also keep a clean, comfortable environment and give pets plenty of attention and exercise appropriate for their age and energy level. Whether your dog is staying with me in my home or I’m caring for them during drop-ins at your home, my goal is for them to be safe, happy, and genuinely well cared for.

About: I've owned animals my whole life, both cats and dogs. I love them like my own children. I have some experience with giving medication to dogs I'm typically available all day. I do not work from home due to carpeting and my pets but taking care of them in your space for hours or a few days is absolutely fine, I am flexible and can work with any schedule. I will not be doing home stays at my house due to my pets and respecting my roommates space. I always keep the space I am sitting in clean and free of non pet friendly items. Safety and comfort for furry friends is the most important.

I can easily adjust my schedule when necessary and can accommodate even for very late or very early times. I can pet sit, go on walks and provide plenty of care, attention and play time for your pet. I can easily accommodate multiple pets, very large dogs, puppies and pets with minimum or no training.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dade City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Dade City on Rover is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $62 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,069 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dade City. 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 Dade City 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 Dade City 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Dade City 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dade City. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
