“We have used Cira multiple times for pet care and house sitting and we are always so happy with how she cares for our animals! She is an amazing person and an absolute animal lover thru and thru. Thank you again!!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 15. She’s now 11 years old and a healthy pup. I was a certified vet assistant a few years back but could not handle the emotional pain of watching dogs pass in the medical field. I still love dogs and cats and enjoy caring for them. I work full time overnight so I am able to spend daytime with your pet! Tuesday and Wednesday are my usual days off. I can typically spend 6-8 hours with your pet before I leave for work at 9:30pm. My pets are kept indoors and on our screened patio. They keep a strict routine and enjoy sunbathing on the patio. It’s a relatively new home so the screening is strong and has never been broken. We have two litter robots and my home is always in clean condition.
“Ruth was great with Milo. Ruth was very communicative and sent photos during their visit. All was well with Milo and the house when we returned (she even changed the sheets so we didn't have to deal with that when we got home from our trip). We will definitely use Ruth again.”
“Claudette was outstanding! We couldn’t have had a better experience with her. She communicated regularly throughout the day and took perfect care of our two dogs, sending pics and videos every day. Highly recommend her!”
“Dana is the dearest sitter! This is her second homestay with our Louie and we just appreciate her so much. She treats Louie like her own and he just loves being with her. Dana is a very considerate house guest, too. We just love Dana and hope she will sit for us again!”
About: Willing to be trained, lol. But seriously paying attention to detail and keeping all pets healthy is key to caring for the pet and friend. Part time work now and care here is part time pay. It fits in quite naturally as pets keep ya healthy just walking around . I have them inside and take for long walks around the peaceful community at the Christian Retreat. Whatever activity that is needed can be achieved.
About: I’ve had a dog all my life. My senior yorkie passed away last year after 18 years and I would love a dog back in the house to keep me company while I’m working from home. Experience with senior dogs including giving medicine, shots, and diaper care. Dog can be crated if needed. I work from home Monday through Friday and will be available to walk dogs throughout the day. Available select weekends. Drop off and pickup at your leisure. Located between big bend rd and sun city center east of 301. Drop your pups off while heading out of town. When I take little breaks during work I love to show my furry guest lots of love. Sometimes they even like to work with me on my lap while I’m typing up reports. I have a back yard mostly fenced in but opens to a drainage area. I have a small gate to block off an area for smaller dogs but when outside dogs will never be alone and always on a leash. I also have a gate if you don’t want your four legged friend roaming around the house. I will abide by any scheduling or training requirements you tell me and follow any instructions to a T. I know leaving your best friend behind is hard enough and I want to put your mind at ease knowing your pet is in good hands and it’s one less thing for you to worry about.
About: I own aquatics, reptiles, cats and dogs. I live in a large house just me and am a home body. I also have a large fenced in backyard and my neighborhood has lots trails and sidewalks great for dog walking. I work part time from home on my own time so my availability is pretty much open! I also have automatic litter boxes as well as traditional litter boxes and hardwood/tile floors in case of accidents. I also have a large metal dog crate if needed I have a large fenced in yard and I also have a dog that is sweet with others and spayed! If you are uncomfortable with another dog in the home I can also have my mom take care of my pup as she only lives down the road!
“Fluffy did a fantastic job in keeping our our "old girl" (Leila). Leila has bad anxiety, and it takes her awhile to warm up to people. Fluffy came over a few time before staying at our house so that Leila could get used to her, and surprisingly Leila warmed up very quickly to her. Fluffy checked in with me from time to time to give me updates and sent pics. She stayed at our home, and left it very clean and tidy. I would recommend her to anyone. Rest assured, your pets will be in good hands and well cared for. We are using her again in 3 weeks.”
“Lyndsay was super communicative with me from start to finish. My flight got delayed and offered to stay a few extra hours past what we agreed upon. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day and the entire weekend. I highly recommend her and trust her with my pups!”
“We had an amazing experience with Ava! She took such great care of our dogs and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which really gave us peace of mind. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved while we were away. The house was left clean and everything was perfect when we got back. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: Hi, my name is Mia! I've lived in Lithia on and off my whole life and I've pet sit for a handful of families in the area. My mom previously owned her own pet sitting business in Fishhawk, which I sometimes helped her with. We recently lost our family dog this past October. She had diabetes and was reactive, so I am comfortable around pets that may have behavioral issues, or who need shots and oral medications. I love all kinds of animals and would love to talk more about looking after your furry friends. I recently left my government job so I currently have full availability. I can take dogs on walks, to the dog park, or anywhere else suitable for animals. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to pets. I want to keep your pet safe, as well as others who may encounter your pet when I'm watching them. As a result, I'd like to know about any aggression or reactive behavior so I know how to handle situations if your pet encounters other people or animals on a walk or otherwise. Additionally, I do not like using retractable leashes on dogs. If you'd like me to care for your dog, please ensure you can provide something other than a retractable leash.
About: Hi! We’re a sibling team who loves caring for pets and treating them like family. This account is now shared between us, but my sister Kathy will be the primary caregiver and will be handling most of the communication, bookings, and day-to-day services. We both have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From long walks and playtime to feeding routines and giving lots of attention, we understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. We’re comfortable following specific instructions to make sure your pet stays happy, safe, and on their normal routine while you’re away. My sister, who you’ll be mainly interacting with, is reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. She has hands-on experience with pet sitting, walking, and making sure pets feel comfortable in new situations. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, calm companionship, or just someone to stick to their routine, she’s got it covered. We know how important trust is when it comes to your pets, so we’re committed to clear communication, updates, and giving you peace of mind. I am a full time nursing student at the moment. I have quite a busy schedule but I am always free to give my time for dogs and cats because they bring me so much joy. I am mostly free on weekends but I do offer a full Thursday as well. For Monday’s, I have Zoom meetings every week from 4:30pm-6:45pm so if that’s something I can work on while being with your pets, it works out! I can offer to take your pets for walks, or simply play with them in the yard, or just lay around and cuddle with them if they are the more relaxed kinds. I am not offering boarding at the moment, so any services I am offering, it will be held at your place set by your rules!
“What a joy Abby is to watch my little girl. The great plus is that when you employ Abby, you also get her sisters, mom and dad!! Ms Ellie was overwhelmed with the tag team love, she was well taken care of and happy. I recommend Abby wholeheartedly and will book for future trips.”
About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, an 8 year old Dutch Shepherd & a 5 year old Golden Retriever. They are my absolute babies, and my life revolves around them. I’ve grown up around all sorts of dogs & cats, and am extremely comfortable around them. I live an active lifestyle and walk my dogs 1.5 miles daily. My biggest stressor when traveling is finding adequate care for my boys, so I know what it’s like finding the perfect care solution for your pets. I do in house visits, walks, dog boarding, anything and everything your pet may need. I work a rotation schedule at work, so I’m 2 days on 2 days off, so my schedule is all over the place but also allows me to provide coverage during the week and weekends. I can do home visits, dog walking, dog boarding, oral medication, specialty feedings, dog enrichment, and anything your pet would need to thrive in your absence.
About: I’m an avid animal lover and have been caring for pets since I was 6 years old. I grew up with three dogs and a cat and was always actively involved in their daily care, from walks, feedings, to playtime, and vet visits. I currently have two dogs who live in Florida with my parents, since moving to Connecticut for work I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like. That’s a big reason I’m excited to dog and cat sit — I truly miss having animals around and the joy they bring. I treat every fur baby like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I work a full time hybrid job with no requirement for being in office and also have half days on Fridays. If I need to be in office, I have an hour lunch break to allow for potty breaks and can flex my time to best accommodate your fur baby. If your pet is more comfortable staying at your house, I can drop by to let them out or stay over if that’s your preference. Whatever makes you and your fur babies the most comfortable. My roommate has a 1 year old Maltese Pomeranian named Dune, who is house trained and very sociable. There are space within my apartment where I can crate your pet away from my roommate Dune or I have space to have them roam if you prefer. I love to play around with animals if they like to play or I can hang around and read my books. Here to make your time away as stress free as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,479 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Duette. 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 Duette 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 Duette 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 Duette 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
