Natalie took great care of my babies and home, stayed in constant contact and updated me regularly, and spoiled and loved on all of my pets for the entire week. She was so sweet and I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.

We would definitely recommend him and have him back the next time we need a sitter.”

About: I am new to dog walking for others on an app, however my family has had a family dog since I was 10. I have dog-sat for my sister and mother over the years and love all animals in general. I treat dogs and cats as their own individuals and act as a secure space for them to be comfortable. I am new, but I do appreciate anyone taking a chance. I work a full-time serving job that goes fairly late into the night. During weekdays I am more available however my schedule does shift for work. If you need late night walks for your precious child while you work or party, I’m here for you. Schedule- Monday- always off Tuesday/ Wednesday- usually off (3-10) Thursday- possibly off (3-12) Friday/Saturday- usually working (3-2am) Sunday- usually working (3-10) If you have any questions or need any flexibility let me know and we can see if something can work. Right now I do not have my own fur baby, only because I know how much care they require and I would like to be in the best position possible to care for them myself. I do care for all pets and animals with unconditional love and affection, and have lived with pets where I did take a partial responsibility in care.

About: I've been caring for friends and family pets for 5 years now. I have experience with dogs and cats mainly and some small pets like hamsters, gerbils and fish. I really enjoy caring for them, and providing their fur parents with a piece of mind knowing they're safe and cared for properly. I've done overnight pet sitting, as well as feedings during the day when owners need the assistance. If you're looking for someone who is dedicated to making sure your pets are cared for properly, consider booking with me today! I'm currently in school working on a degree in sociology and have time to lend to pet owners who need daily or weekly care. So I'm able to take the time to attend to your fur babies in the way they need so that you have a piece of mind knowing they're safe and cared for properly. I have a home with a yard. Although it's not fenced, I do have a spacious home and can allow them outside, leashed so they can enjoy some sun and physical activity. I can also board dogs for pet owners who need that option as well.

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 there! I’m new to the Rover App but not new to caring for fur babies. The past 4 years I’ve had experience dog sitting for my older sister, who has a four year old Lab mix named Harper. I’ve watched Harper for weekends at a time feeding, walking, playing with her when my sister is out of town. I’ve also had the privilege of dog sitting for neighbors, dropping in their home while they are away and letting their fur babies out and feeding them. I currently live with a roommate who has a cat that I care for when need be as well. I love animals, and though I don’t have any of my own. I’ll take care of yours as if it was. Right now I’m only available for dog walking and drop-ins in your home. Not accepting over night sitting in my home at the moment. Book with me and have peace of mind your fur baby is cared for and loved while you’re away. I work full time throughout the week from Sundays-Thursdays. I usually work from 1pm-9pm or 3pm-11pm Though out the week. I’m free both Fridays and Saturdays anytime! I make sure the pets are getting the proper respect and care they need. I’m also well organized so I won’t miss any deadlines if the pet needs to take their medications or even a vet appointment if need be. I’ll make sure they get their food/water and that they use the bathroom on time as well. I also like to play with the pets to keep them engaged and have them not feeling too bored as well.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fish Hawk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fish Hawk is $27 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $43 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 October 2026, there are 3,919 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 , 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 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.
