“Super thankful for the amazing job you did, especially on a last minute you were there to help with our dogs care. They loved spending time with you and made out trip easy! Thank you again and hope to see you again! I absolutely recommend her for you pets needs!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, including my fur baby that I raised since she was a puppy. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior cats, and all ages of dogs. I also used to volunteer at the Halo Rescue Cat Adoption Center when I first started pet sitting. I love all animals, including sea turtles! I am currently working as a non-profit sea turtle biologist and I am most available on weekends and select weekdays. Due to my flexible & partially remote schedule, I can take time throughout the day for potty breaks and walks. The key to effective pet care is constant supervision when pets are outside. This is where my experience as an environmental educator comes in as it has fine-tuned my ability to be constantly aware of my surroundings. Also, I am used to being a clear thinker in chaotic situations from my experience working with children.
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful. My cat flapjack loved her. Took good care of him. Came home to a spotless house and a very happy kitty. Will be booking her again in the future!”
“Daisy seemed to have great care with Derek. He was reliable and came a day early for a meet and greet. He seemed to follow the instructions I left. He was very pleasant and was willing to do what was asked. He also kept us informed and sent lots of pictures. The house was left in great condition. I wouldn't hesitate to have Derek again.”
About: I’ve always had pets in my life and now would pass on that love and compassion to your dog. Lots of experience in old and young dogs. I am retired and have extra time so my friend told me about Rover and she loves it so I want to enjoy the experience also! I will make whatever steps necessary that are needed to care for your dog in your home. At my home, they will have free roaming of a 2000 square-foot home and enjoy my daughter and my granddaughter also helping love your dog.
“Yaretzi was amazing and shared photos of Zarra during her care and also kept me updated on how she was doing. Yaretzi was very understanding and acknowledged our concerns of leaving our fur baby for the first time. We will definitely contact her again when we are back in town.”
About: I have loved dogs since before I can remember! My parents rescued many dogs while I was a kid and I am comfortable with all energies and sizes. In Colorado, I spent a lot of time staying in clients homes with their dogs while they went on vacation. I would keep the same routine their dog knew and loved! I am flexible and willing to do whatever is needed to keep you and your pet happy and without worry! I am living at my dad’s helping with him and his dog at home. My schedule is very open and I could use some more time with dogs! Before moving here I was constantly dog sitting or walking. I try to get as much information about what the pet enjoys or is triggered by. Also knowing routines and things that need to be done. I am willing to do whatever is asked of me.
“Holly watched our dog for a few days at our home. She was excellent with our pup who sometimes is a little grumpy. We were extremely comfortable with her caring for our dog in our house. Holly provided updates and pictures to us while we were away. If we ever need a sitter again Holly will be our first choice.”
“Jayla took such great care of our Finley! We received texts and pictures of him while she was watching him and we appreciated that so much! Highly recommend her and will be hiring her again soon!”
“I have a large working line GSD and a blue and gold macaw. Margot was responsive and was able to help me out with short notice. I have a senior dog so there are a lot of supplements and meds to keep up with and everything was just as I left it when I returned. She did an excellent job! I can tell by my dog's behavior when I return if I have a good sitter as he definitely shows stress. It was like I went to work and came home. No anxiety or stress for my pup! Thanks Margo!”
About: I have experience from my own pets throughout the years and being a vet tech for 7+ years. I have experience with cats and dogs. I can take care of them young or old. Just let me know your routines and i will try to fill the void while you are gone. I work at an animal hospital during the day so I can stop in before work, on my lunch break and after work, whichever you prefer. Im not offering home services at the moment, but if you would like me to stop in and make sure your pet has the best care. Also if medications are needed to be given, please let me know. I can do so and also make sure no love is lost when you are gone. I love animals and its one of the reasons why I got into the Vet field.
“Lisa was an absolute delight! She booked us with very short notice to keep our dog for us to attend a wedding. She was lovely, kind and prompt, sending updates and obviously very attentive to our senior dog. 5 stars is not enough!!!”
“Monique was awesome! The animals all loved her. Excellent communication and sent me adorable pictures while caring for our fur babies. We will definitely reach out to her again when we need care for our babies again 💕”
“Kayla was amazing! She was staying in my house looking after my two little kittens, she was thoughtful enough to send me pictures, videos of them playing around and having good time. When I came back the house was tidy and clean and the kittens were really happy! Would definitely reccomend ?”
“Lacey was fantastic caring for our two dogs in our home, while we were on vacation for two weeks! She kept in touch with us, sent us photos of our babies and kept us informed of any happenings while we were away. Our dogs were very well cared for and acted like everything was normal on our return. Left Lacey instructions on how we feed them and walk them etc and she did just as instructed. Would not hesitate to use Lacey again, she won our dogs over even though one of them is pretty tough to get close to. Cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Megan was great with our dogs. She sent photos and updates on our short overnight trip. She is focused on their care and wellbeing. Would love to have her anytime we petcare.”
“My little “princess” had a rough start. A huge Thank you to Kaylee for her calm presence and giving Karma a chance to warm up to her. Kaylee sent lots of photos and checked in regularly, which I truly appreciate!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fellsmere
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fellsmere on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 647 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fellsmere. 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 Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fellsmere. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
