“Kyra was awesome! I had a lot of changes leading up to the first time I have had to leave my dogs overnight since moving to Florida and she was sweet, caring, and accommodating. I will definitely be trusting her again with my dogs soon.”

About: My family and I have fostered dogs for years. That experience has taught me how to handle everything from nervous rescues to higher energy pups with patience and love. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or a calm routine, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. My job is hybrid so I’m in office 2 days a week but my work is flexible so there’s always room for adjustments. I care for pets in their own homes to help them stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Animals that love to cuddle or play go hand in hand with my personality.

“Natalie did a fantastic job with our 🐶s . I think they are looking forward to us going out of town ..lol She was loving and attentive! We appreciated the daily notes and pictures of the girls and the house was just as we left. Rover should be proud to have an excellent caregiver working with them. We really enjoyed our trip knowing the girls were having a great time!! Thanks so much Natalie!!!”

About: 18+ years of honing my exceptional pet caregiving skills began with my love of books. My father and I would read books on all the different breeds of dogs and pet alike. This jump-started my genuine love for animals which shines through in every interaction. With compassion as my compass, I approach each responsibility with utmost care, showcasing my unwavering responsible, and considerate nature. My experience includes but is not limited to puppy behavior/potty training. Moreover, as a communication major I understand the importance of communication with pet parents before during, and after my time with their furry family members. Trustworthy, clean, timely, and considerate; I am the epitome of excellence in pet care. I love to fill my cup and land with pets that deserve a little extra attention while their parents make the bacon or take a little time for themselves. Your pets will feel like they hit the lottery when they prance onto my acre fully fenced-in island-inspired paradise. I have a full-grown dogs who still have the energy of a pup so they will surely keep your pets company and make them feel right at home or if your pet does better on their own I have private boarding options as needed. My previous property management experience prepared me to come to you as well. I'm accustomed to entering and exiting properties while maintaining the safety and security of your home and furry family members. I'm clean, timely, and will treat your space with respect. Most importantly I have excellent process/procedure-following abilities. With me you can rest assure your pets regular schedule will be adheard too.

“Michael watched our 2 senior dogs for a week in our home. He gave them their daily meds and while we were initially reluctant to leave them, Michael quickly alleviated any concerns with daily updates and pics. He took great care of our pups and our home. We would definitely recommend him and have him back the next time we need a sitter.”

About: I’m a mom always had dogs. I work from home and a little bored with the corporate America life. I would love additional income doing something I enjoy and getting out of the house for a reason to help others. I currently have two rescues I have experience with many dogs, cats, fish. Not a fan of snacks and rodents sorry. We had a Great Dane to a Maltese so all sizes ages medical condition I can perhaps relate . I love to stay active and making money is a bonus! It’s never enough now a days. I have flexible schedule with the sooner I know the better I can accommodate but I may be able to help same day. Tell me more about your pet their likes dislikes and expectations and we are happy to discuss more if you have any special requests. I know how important your pet is and the importance of good care. My son had to go through chemo when he was 7 and pet care was so important and I promise to care for yours as my own. Are you on vacation ? Are you local? Is this temporary? Reoccurring? Going through personal medical condition? Pet needs more attention? I’m here to make your life easier. A little more about me I am Polish, new to Florida, big pediatric cancer advocate; my son is a survivor, big sports family and Disney lovers. Whatever your pets typical lifestyle is I’d be happy to stick to that. If you want me to get them active happy to do them. Give them time to play with other animals or humans, just let me know. My pets are spoiled, I’ll leave it at that. I don’t like to over feed them, I am particular with what they eat and the amount of affection they receive.

About: Humble greetings. My experice with animal care began when I was about 11 years old. I've been raised around and have cared for a plethora of dog breeds and sizes. I've also experienced, and cared for a range of different animals like reptiles, rodents, felines, fish and dogs. I enjoy many different pets/pet personalities and ensure that I can provide the care your paw-some pet requires ^u^. I'm currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule. Weekends, and Some holidays are great times for my availability. I'm willing to negotiate some weekdays depending on my schedule. Depending on the animal, I will provide the care that is requested of me by you(the owner). Since you know your pet better than I do, I would like to have a description of the pets personality, meal times, routines, healthcare needs and habits so I know how to accommodate them best( knowing whether they need space, like cuddles, have zoomies, need medicine throughout the day, need assistance walking etc.) If your pet is medicated I need to know HOW they are given their medication and when they are to recieve it. I also need to be notified of any disabilities they may have. This is all to ensure that my care is excellent for you and them.<3

About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 6-8 years, preferably medium and small dogs but now that I’m older I’ve taken care of the larger breeds now. I worked as an animal groomer on the side for mainly friends, family, and people within my neighborhood and communities I’ve been apart of! I specialize in nervous dogs too especially during holidays, fireworks, and sick babies, if you have any dogs that need medication, fed a certain way, or any special needs, I’m the girl for you! I work flex so I can choose my own hours and times to work leaving me a lot of room to tend to the fur babies! I have a fenced yard, two small fur babies( a yorkie and schnauzer) which both are friendly and can keep your animal company especially when being in the backyard. I can easily crate your animals if needed and also crate mine if your animals don’t react to well with others that way they can also have freedom to roam around the yard and house!

My wife and I headed out of state for 8 days and was fortunate enough to find Jennie to keep our two cats company while housesitting. Due to some prior bad experiences, we hate leaving them behind, but were optimistic that Jennie was a good choice. Soon after our departure, we were delighted to find pictures of both cats, one greeting her at the door and the other not in hiding. As the days went by, more reports and pics arrived of both cats appearing relaxed and lounging comfortably in Jennie's presence. It made our trip so much more enjoyable. When we returned, neither cat exhibited any sign of stress (but they did follow us around for a few hours. Nice to know they didn't completely forget about us!). As for the house, it was left in fine shape. Bedding had been washed, dishes cleaned, garbage taken out, mail collected. We're just so delighted everything worked out so well, and would not hesitate leaving Jennie in charge again if needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fish Hawk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fish Hawk is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $40 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,915 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fish Hawk. 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 Fish Hawk 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 Fish Hawk 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 Fish Hawk 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Fish Hawk. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
