About: I have been taking care of dogs for about six years now, I started helping my sister when she originally joined Rover. It got to the point where we had our regulars and their dogs became family to us! Long story short, she moved and I still have a few regulars, but I have some extra time on my hands because of my school schedule and am excited to meet some new pets :) I am currently a student at UF (last semester woohoo!) and have classes Tuesdays-Thursdays. All other days I am typically available, just need a bit of a heads up :) I also have some time midday Tuesday in between some classes. I always take care of dogs how I wish others would take care of mine. I am a strict rule follower and will care for your pets exactly how you want me to (plus some extra cuddles)! I will respect any of your wishes if you choose to book with me.

About: Hey! My name is Dylan, and throughout all my years of life I have always been around dogs. My parents always had one, and as an adult I have owned and trained multiple. Being around them has given me lots of experience on care, play, and training, and I love hanging out with them! I'm currently self employed and am available all days of the week! My schedule is very flexible and can meet your pup's needs I can easily crate your pup when needed, I can administer medications if your dog or cat is currently taking them, and I am more than happy to follow any special instructions you may have!

About: Hi there! My name is Jamaura, I’m 22 years old, and I’m currently a student at the University of Florida majoring in Animal Sciences on the pre-veterinary track. I’m deeply passionate about animal welfare and plan on becoming a wildlife veterinarian in the future! Over the past eight years, I’ve cared for dogs belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, as well as my own pets throughout childhood. In every situation, I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness, treating every furry friend like they’re my own. I make sure dogs get the exercise, playtime, and affection they need, while maintaining clean feeding areas, following meal schedules, and creating a calm, structured environment. I’m also comfortable administering medications and managing more complex feeding routines when needed. I love bonding with dogs and my goal is always to provide a positive, stress-free experience that leaves both pets and owners feeling at ease. I'm currently enrolled in some summer courses, so I am occupied Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 am - 6 pm, and on Thursday mornings. However, please feel free to ask if I can care for your pets during those days. Whether it's a last-minute walk, daily check-ins, or extended care, I'm here to provide the most consistent, loving, and flexible care for your pets! When I care for your pet in your home, whether it’s for a walk or a drop-in visit, I do everything possible to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, needs, and routine, so I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel most content. From following detailed care instructions to noticing subtle behavior cues, I prioritize your pet’s well-being above all else. Whether your pet is shy and needs quiet companionship or full of energy and ready to play, I adapt my care to match their personality and comfort level. Most importantly, your pet’s welfare, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m here to give them not just supervision, but genuine care and attention, so you can feel confident and worry-free while you’re away.

About: I have had animals my whole life that I have cared for, have had plenty family and friends rely on me to take care of their fur babies, and have worked as a Vet tech for a total of 1.5 years. I work from home so I am typically always available to provide care. I also go to the gym 5 days a week which dogs are allowed at my gym, I bring my dogs there every time. I also bring my dogs to the dog park every Sunday. I live in a 2 story townhouse. I have a friendly pitbull and hound mix that are dog friendly. I also have a 2 year old cat that loves dogs, very friendly, and loves to cuddle up to my pup all the time. I am a very clean person so I keep my house tidied up and I will do the same with my client's home. I would vacuum, clean up any messes, pick up poop and scoop the litter box.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve sat for my friends and family’s pets for 2 years consistently. I have experience with reactive dogs and disabled dogs as well. I’m unemployed at the moment so I have a lot of flexibility to keep my clients happy. I am the only person with a car in my family but that won’t be an issue I’m committed to following the normal routine that your pet is accustomed to. I like taking walks and I’ll make sure your pet gets in some exercise while they are in my care

About: I grew up with 3 labs & 6 cats (at overlapping intervals). Since I turned 18 I've had 6 cats, 3 of which passed several years ago at ages 14 - 18. I have pet-sit for several friends over the years, in multi-pet households - cats, dogs, & 1 iguana. I love animals, I will talk to them as I do with my cats & treat them with care. I am currently looking for a new job, I recently resigned from UF after 11 years - it's time for a change. I am free most anytime. I care for my 3 cats at home, ages 6 - 15. I am able to care for others' pets in their home, but bringing in animals into my home would not go over well with 1 of my cats.

About: What sets me apart is the personal attention, patience, and genuine love I give every pet in my care. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs extra playtime and exercise, a calm companion, puppy potty breaks and basic routine reinforcement, or gentle care for a senior pet, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning and evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so pet sitting is something I genuinely look forward to—not just another job. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and provide consistent, dependable care while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure pets have fresh water, appropriate meals, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m also careful about doors, gates, leashes, medications, and anything else that could affect their safety. For senior pets, puppies, or pets with special routines, I’m happy to provide extra attention and follow detailed instructions. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for a very long time. When I was younger I used to take care of my friends pets or family members because they knew they could count on me to do it right. I am a college student taking online classes so I have a lot of free time to care for pets during my daily and weekly routine. I care for pets as if they are my own. I usually ask the owner if there is a particular way to feed them or walk them especially to make sure they are safe and cared for in the correct way.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and parrots, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals of all kinds. 🐾 I worked at Pet Supermarket from the time I was 16 until I was 22, and I also spent a year and a half in vet tech school. Caring for animals has always been something I truly love, and I’m happiest when I’m around them! I know how much our pets mean to us because they’re family, and I treat every pet I care for just like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and to give you plenty of peace of mind along the way! ❤️ I currently work full time remotely so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, bathe and play to make sure your pets needs are fully taken care of while also having fun! I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable with. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re playing, going for a walk, or relaxing at home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being spoiled while you’re gone! 🐾❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - East Williston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 626 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Williston. 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 East Williston 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 East Williston 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 East Williston 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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
