“Nicole did a great job watching our crew while we were out of town for two days. Because we have an elderly dog, we booked her for overnight care. We got pictures once a day and our furry crew was happy and well cared for during our trip. We appreciated the flexibility that Nicole offered, since we didn't know exact times we would be leaving or arriving back to the house. While we left later than expected and came back earlier than planned - we liked that Nicole kept communication open and made sure all was well with our crew and our home.”
“This is our second time using Kacie, but the first time for house sitting. Once again, she did a wonderful job and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and took good care of everything.”
“We absolutely love Melanie! This was our 2nd time using her (first time for overnights and she did 3 days/2nights at our house). She’s an incredible overnight dog sitter — she sent us tons of updates and photos, played with our dogs, and followed all our requests to the letter. Our pups were happy and well-cared for, and our house was spotless when we returned. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Maria was absolutely incredible with our two dogs, Finn and Chai! She went above and beyond—giving them tons of love, exercise, attention, and even handling medications with care. We came home to two very happy pups and a tidy space. She kept us updated the whole time and truly treated them like her own. We can’t recommend her enough and are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely!”
About: Hello all, I have a vast amount of experience within the animal industry. I have my bachelors degree in Animal Science and worked as a veterinary technician for many years. I absolutely love animals, big or small, and enjoy taking care of our “fur babies”. I have knowledge within senior care, puppy care, medication administration, cat and kitten care, litter box cleanliness, and more. I currently work from home, my schedule is whatever I make it to be. I am absolutely free to care for your pets in whatever way that you desire. No job is too big or too small. When taking care of your pets, I will take care of them just as my own. I am meticulous for owner care instructions and directions that “fur parents” leave. When in my home, your animal will be treated like my own, they will be allowed to play freely and have plenty of breaks for bathroom sessions. If a pet is not in my home, I will spend ample time with ones pet in their home and dedicate time throughout the day that allows the pet to feel enriched and comfortable while their parents are away.
“Hailey is INCREDIBLE. She was so nice and caring with my pet. She goes the extra mile. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would totally request her services again. Loved her!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets! I’m flexible! And you can count on me to - notice small behavior changes - follow routines carefully - not overwhelm anxious or sensitive dogs - stay steady if something unexpected happens We have no dogs of our own at the moment so your pet will be the only one in the house which is great for any dogs who don’t play well with others (: and, our guests enjoy having a fenced in yard and space to run! I work a standard 8–5 during the week, so I intentionally schedule pet care around that. I’m available for morning and evening visits, weekends, and I plan ahead to make sure every pet’s routine is followed carefully and never rushed. I don’t have pets of my own, so I’m able to give my full attention to the pets I’m caring for. I also have a fenced-in yard at my home for safe outdoor play and exercise. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focus on exercising pets appropriately, then helping them relax and settle in — often with some quiet time or just hanging out together. I aim to keep routines consistent and stress-free.
“Calvin was wonderful! We have two dogs and he took care of them both! Followed all instructions that we had left him! Will definitely be booking him again for future dog drop ins / and house sitting! 10 stars of if I could!”
“Linda was fantastic! I have an older small dog (Bailey) who struggles with severe separation anxiety. Linda was unbelievably patience, taking things slow, making sure to reduce Bailey’s stress level. Bailey rarely eats when I’m away, but she actually ate for her. She sent me regular updates and pictures on how things were going. Linda’s kindness, patience, and attentiveness made a potentially stressful situation seamless for both Bailey and me. I highly recommend her to anyone with a dog (or any animal) who needs a calm, compassionate caretaker. I already have booked her again.”
“Destiny did such a great job caring for my two dogs. She kept me & my wife informed every step of the way with exceptional communication. My dogs are well behaved but have a very busy routine. Destiny went above and beyond to keep them happy and stay on their schedule. We are happy that we have finally found a great long term sitter for our dogs in this area.”
“Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!”
“We adore Serena. I am a single person with two cats, needless to say they are my babies. I have to travel a lot for work and would get anxiety as trips approach because I didn’t have a trust worthy person around to consistently watch my cats. And then we found Serena!! From our initial meeting, I could tell she was an animal person and genuine. Fast forward it only took a trip or two for my cats to fall in love with her and my anxiety went away. I never have to ask Serena for anything, she’s always on top of it and she gets animals! Both of my cats are extremely different from each other and she just gets them. My home and animals are safe with her, and the house always looks immaculate when I come home. We are so lucky to find her, I would highly recommend this young lady!! Book her so you don’t have to have anxiety when it comes to leaving your animals. Thank you Serena!!🙏🙏”
“Sharon is absolutely phenomenal! She’s trustworthy and cares for your fur baby as if they were her own. She follows instructions carefully and keeps you updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and videos. I trust her completely for both pet and house sitting. Her genuine love for dogs shines through in every interaction, and her joyful spirit is always on full display.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - De Land Southwest
Natalie provided in home pet sitting and she did a great job with our 2 puppies. She was very responsive and very conscientious with our babies and our home. Upon our return we could tell our puppies were well taken care of. I would recommend and will definitely call on Natalie again.
Tammy is an absolute gem. She has a heart of gold and obvious love for animals. My animals were so well taken care of and my mind was at ease while away because of her regularly sending me updates and photos throughout the day. She even was up for giving my 12 year old dog his multiple medications, which is no was task. Not to mention, she made his bday special with a balloon, card, and party hat. Tammy is truly a treasure and our new favorite Rover sitter (and we have had lots of good experiences on Rover, but she is the best!) thank you again, Miss Tammy! Love, Ozzie & Mushu
This is my 2nd time booking Mallory as a house sitter with my 2 kitties. She’s very communicative and gives multiple updates throughout the stay which makes being away just a little bit easier! She was able to continue their routines and even give medicine to one of my kitties. She has left my house in great shape both times. Highly recommend!
We hired Katelyn last minute as we decided to leave the dogs behind this time. She was very prompt with the meet up and extremely professional and had excellent communication skills. We had her house sit as our dogs are giant babies and she was awesome! Both dogs did not seem bothered by our absence. We will definitely use her in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - De Land Southwest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in De Land Southwest on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,288 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across De Land Southwest. 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 De Land Southwest 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 De Land Southwest 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 De Land Southwest 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.
