“Monika took great care of my baby! She sent lots of pictures throughout the week and even snuggled with him. She played with him in the yard and even cleaned up his pkgs! Thank you Monika!”
“Emma stayed at our home and took care of all 4 of our dogs for the week. We had 1 emergency with our oldest dog and she handled it just like we requested. We highly recommend Emma for house sitting with multiple dogs.”
“Sandy was fantastic with my Bear! He was comfortable and well taken care of while I was away. My place was also well taken care of. I will gladly trust Sandy with Bear again in the future! Clear communication, cute consistent updates, and real peace of mind!”
About: I’ve been caring for my dogs and my friend/family dogs for 10 years now. I have experience with cats, large dogs, small dogs, special needs dogs, puppies, and elder dogs as well! I work a very flexible job, so I can be available just about whenever I am needed. I also like to stay very active and taking care of fur babes keeps me on my feet. I have reliable transportation and feel confident/comfortable caring for your fur baby in your home. I am prepared to walk, play, feed and hydrate as needed!
“Stacey took wonderful care of our senior Boxer, Jingles, while we were away on an international trip. From the moment we met her, we knew Jingles would be in caring and capable hands. Jingles is an older dog with some special needs, including frequent potty breaks and a few age-related quirks, and Stacey handled everything with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She kept us updated, gave us great peace of mind while we were traveling, and treated Jingles like she was her own. The biggest compliment I can give is that when we got home, Jingles spent the evening and the next morning walking around the house looking for Stacey. It's obvious they formed a special bond during the week, and that says everything about the love and attention Stacey gave her. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Stacey provided and would not hesitate to book her again. If you're looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, I highly recommend Stacey.”
“Shayla was absolutely fantastic! She was very open and friendly during our meet and greet; was able to tell my dog loved her immediately! I felt comfortable and informed the whole time I was away. Lots of pictures sent to me of my dog was so sweet to receive! I will definitely be booking with Shayla again! Thanks for taking the BEST care of Sasha 💕”
About: I have 3 large breed dogs and 2 cats, my family and I have been fostering dogs since I could even remember , and I am more than happy to get to know your little one too ! I am free all the time since I am home for college , and I will be staying here in Valrico for a year or 2 , I am very flexible to times you can or cannot do. I am very respectful of house rules and owners rules, your rules as well as your fur babies rules will never go unnoticed. I am very excited !
“Cathy was a great house sitter who looked after our two cats while we were traveling. She communicated really well, drove down to meet the cats before confirming the booking, and showed up on time before us leaving to get access to the building. She also did a wonderful job communicating during our travel/ her stay with the cats. She took care of the cats’ medications needs, too! What I loved most about her is how prompt she is about responding to any messages. She kept us updated with pictures and lots of other information. She has been kind to the cats and tolerated them sleeping in/ on her suitcase, ha ha. We found the cats happy and healthy. She also took care of our place, it looks great- just as we left it. She also washed the sheets and towels and overall left the place exactly as she found if not better☺️ She is a kind person, and very personable. We loved having her as a house / cat sitter and will contact her again when we need her care. Thanks much, Cathy! And see you soon ☺️”
“Erin was incredibly attentive to my dogs and their needs. She was respectful of my home and left everything as she found it. It was a pleasure being able to go on my work trip with the peace of mind that my dogs were being well cared for. She kept me updated on them and even checked in on me and how my trip was going. Very sweet and thoughtful.”
“Victoria was fantastic to work with. We had a last minute sitter cancel and she accepted our last minute request. Then we had a delayed flight and she stayed an extra night. We received daily updates on our pooch and had no worries about him while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“It was such a pleasure for us to know that Amy was at our home taking great care of Whiskey! When we met Amy for our meet and greet we had a feeling that they would get along great and they did! Thank you Amy for taking care of our home as well and for your kindness and professionalism throughout. We look forward to having you come over again and spend some time with our whiskey ;-)”
“I highly recommend Olivia! She is incredibly friendly, reliable, and easy to work with. Communication was excellent from start to finish; she kept me updated regularly and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Most importantly, she was loving, attentive, and genuinely cared for my dogs as if they were her own. It gave great peace of mind knowing they were receiving so much affection, attention, and care while I was away. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned. Again I would recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Giselle is a blessing. She took great care of my pups and my home and this will give me the ability to make suture trips in the future with peace of mind. She;s great. She left my home perfect and she sent me lots of pics and my pets were well cared for.I highly recommend.”
“Rebecca was a delight. She arrived on time and sent many photos of our dog, Kita, during her stay. She frequently updated us on how Kita was doing while we were away and gave Kita lots of play time outside and I inside. Great experience. 10/10 Would book again with her!”

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!
“Dana was amazing! Our pup went on plenty of walks at all hours of the day, and looked extremely comfortable with Dana in charge. Communication was great, house was well taken care of, and most importantly our pup had a great time with her sitter. Overall great experience, would recommend”
About: Patient, caring, loving, playful dog sitter. I will try my best to give your puppy the best time of his life!!! Lets be friends! Thanks! I am a phd student at USF. Currently I am available morning and evening - working days. On the weekends I am available any time I am offering feeding, petting, walking and playing with your dog. Additionally I keep your house clean and help to clean your dog! Also I live in mother in-law suite
“Very accommodating! Asks all the right questions to really care for your babies. She was very sweet, patient and loving to my boy who has extreme anxiety with new people but he warmed right up. Communication was amazing and I would definitely recommend. Will rebook!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fish Hawk
We hired Ella to watch our dog Whiskey while we were away on a 7 night cruise, and she truly exceeded every expectation. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Ella has a genuine love for dogs. She immediately connected with Whiskey, who can be a bit reserved with new people, but warmed up to her instantly. Ella was incredibly attentive throughout the entire stay. She made sure Whiskey got plenty of playtime, and cuddles, and even sent us regular updates so we never felt out of the loop. The daily check-ins were such a comfort—every morning and evening we’d receive sweet messages along with adorable photos of Whiskey lounging in the sun, playing with toys, or laying snuggled by her side. It was obvious she was treating him like her own, giving him the love and care we provide at home. We came back to a happy and healthy Whiskey who clearly had a great time. Ella went above and beyond, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving, and communicative dog sitter in the area, look no further—Ella is the real deal! We’ll definitely be booking her again. ❤️ Thank you, Ella!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fish Hawk
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fish Hawk on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,884 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 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 Fish Hawk. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
