“This was the first time we have used a service like this. We were a bit nervous as our pets are our babies. But Aubrey was wonderful and really put us at ease. We were gone for 9 days and she took great care of our pets (dog and cat). They were well fed, and were very happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Aubrey and will definitely use her again the next time we take a trip!”
“I couldn't be more pleased with the great job Sam did taking care of my cats for 2 weeks. He went above and beyond what was expected of him to make my cats feel loved and cared for. I highly recommend him and will definitely be hiring him again in the future next time I need a sitter”
“Natalia was truly the BEST Rover sitter we could have ever hoped for. From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, thoughtful, and caring — and she treated our home and fur babies like they were her own. We have three dogs and a cat, and every single one of them was so loved and well cared for while we were away. One of our pups ended up having an unexpected flea issue and was super itchy while she was staying with them, and Natalia immediately stepped in and handled everything with so much care and compassion. She bathed all three dogs, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated every step of the way. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. On top of taking amazing care of the animals, she went completely above and beyond with our home. She did laundry, swept, cleaned, remade the bed, and left the house better than we left it. You can genuinely tell she is the kind of person who respects and cares for other people’s space. Natalia is kind, trustworthy, attentive, responsible, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt so comfortable having her in our home and caring for the members of our family we love most. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone looking for a sitter who will love your pets deeply, communicate wonderfully, and care for your home with incredible respect should book her immediately. She is an absolute gem and we would trust her again in a heartbeat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Desiree was so communicative and detailed throughout her time house sitting for us. She was very sweet and attentive and showed our girl ZuZu lots of love. Will be booking again with her soon!”
“This was our first booking with Jordan and she was great! She stayed at our house for 5 days with the dogs. Was on time and was with the dogs the majority of the time we were gone. Sent photo updates as well. House was nice and in order when we returned. Would recommend.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for both a dog and a cat. I understand pet behavior, routines, and individual personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to ensure each pet gets consistent, attentive care. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I follow consistent feeding and activity routines, provide enrichment and affection, and maintain a clean environment. I also have a fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor play
“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!”
“Mia stayed over and took care of our dogs while we were out of town. She adhered to their schedule and looked after them just as we would have. Our dogs were happy and well cared for. Mia is very reliable and diligent. Her love for dogs is evident, and I greatly appreciate her services when needed.”
“Samantha is outstanding! Our dogs absolutely fell in love with her. She was completely trustworthy and respectful of our home and wishes for the dogs. We hope that she’s available the next time we travel. She also has a real talent for taking gorgeous photos of animals. This was our first time using Rover and a wonderful experience. If I could give her 10 stars I would!”
“Michael was an exceptional pet and house sitter. He took wonderful care of our two dogs and our home while we were away for five nights. From the beginning, he was kind, professional, and genuinely caring. Throughout our trip, Michael provided regular updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear from every message that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention and affection. He also took excellent care of our home, and everything was exactly as we left it when we returned. We could tell our dogs were well loved and cared for while we were away. Finding someone you can trust with both your pets and your home is invaluable, and Michael exceeded our expectations in every way. We would not hesitate to book with Michael again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Hailey was great and I’ll definitely use her again. Daily pictures showed Lucy was happy and comfortable with us being gone. Upon leaving Hailey left a detailed message of what Lucy’s day had been like up to that point and we came home to a clean house!”
“Ben was amazing. He arrived early to make sure all we discussed prior was in order. Sent pictures while we were out and provided a full review of his experience with our pet in detail. Thank you Ben.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8. I had both cats and dogs. I’ve had experience with family pets as heavy as 90 pounds and cats as furry like Persian cats or Sphynx cats which might be a challenge to tend for? I am currently working part time and I can schedule my hours accordingly. That gives me more time to play and tend to your furry family members. I prioritize safety and the comfortability of clients and their pets. When given specific needs for your environment I strive to follow all the requirements to ensure not only the safety but the security of taking care of your pet. I also make sure that other safety precautions/measures are taken when I am within the clients home and when I leave.
“Breeanna was amazing, she stayed at our house while we were out of town and made our dog and cat very comfortable. She was very informative with everything and sent pictures all the time. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - De Land Southwest
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!
Calvin was amazing! Attentive to my animals, gave them tons of attention (particularly my very high energy puppy), and took amazing care of my home. I so appreciated his professionalism and his kindness! I will definitely be calling him again when I next travel.
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!
AMAZING!!! First time using Rover and we picked THE BEST animal lover to care for our dogs, Matilda is really special. We have had tons of dog sitters in the past 30 years but no one like Matilda, I don’t think my dogs want me back. 😂 One of my dogs has special needs and many health issues but Matilda handled Lightning like one of the family, so much love and caring!

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 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 2,323 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.
