“Morgan recently held down our pet-centered "fort" for four days. Before our departure date, Morgan came by (arriving on time!) for a tour and run-through of our pets' behaviors, meal times, and idiosyncrasies. She took copious notes, asked a lot of questions and was clearly comfortable with the crew. We left feeling very comfortable that our kids were in great hands. Morgan did not disappoint! She was magnificent! She kept us informed of what our two cats and Rhodesian Ridgeback were up to, how meal times were going, etc. She frequently sent photos, which enhanced our sense that all were having no problem with a new person in the house. Without question, we will schedule Morgan for future pet sitting !! A 5-star caretaker!!!”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah, and my husband’s name is Michael. We’re located in Fleming Island, and we have both been around dogs and cats our entire lives. We have extensive experience caring for pets and truly love what we do. We love making our pets feel extra special, whether that means baking homemade dog treats, taking fun holiday-themed photos when we can, or finding little ways to make their stay feel like a vacation of their own. We enjoy going on long walks with dogs who love exploring and giving them plenty of opportunities to play and enjoy our fenced-in backyard. I’m truly passionate about what I do, and my goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with us. I offer a variety of pet-care services, including doggy daycare, in-home drop-ins, dog walks, and pet boarding. For boarding dogs, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and time to enjoy our backyard. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with specific needs and administering medications. For safety and accuracy, I confirm medication instructions in writing and double-check labels before administering anything. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means I’m home throughout the week and have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. My husband is home on weekends and after work and is very involved in caring for the animals we watch as well. I’m currently transitioning my pet-care experience into my own private business, C’s Dog House, where I’m continuing to provide personalized, reliable care for families in the Fleming Island area. Above all, I genuinely love animals. I treat every pet in my care as an individual and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. Caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about, and there’s nothing more fulfilling to me than spending my days with them. ❤️ I’m a full-time pet sitter, so I’m home throughout the week and have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. Because pet sitting is my main focus, I’m able to give each pet plenty of attention throughout the day, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply making sure they’re comfortable and their routine is maintained. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits, and I do my best to accommodate your pet’s individual schedule and needs. My husband is also home in the evenings and on weekends and is very involved in helping care for the pets we welcome into our home. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re receiving plenty of attention and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I have daily and nightly routines in place to keep the environment clean, safe, and comfortable, and I also have a professional cleaning service that helps maintain a clean home. For boarding dogs, we have a fully fenced backyard where they can get plenty of exercise and playtime with a fun “dog park” experience. During the warmer months, I also offer water play for dogs who enjoy it! If your pup gets dirty while playing, I’m happy to give them a bath before they go home. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and your specific instructions, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, sleeping arrangements, and crate use. If your dog is comfortable being crated, I can easily accommodate that. However, if you don’t crate your dog at home, I won’t crate them while they’re staying with me. Most importantly, I want both you and your pup to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow the routines and guidelines that work best for your pet and keep you updated so you know they’re happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I go beyond just watching pets. I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have hands-on experience fostering animals from local shelters, which has taught me how to be patient and adapt to different personalities and needs. I stick closely to each pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always send photo updates so you know they’re in good hands. I have 4 cats please know that they are ALWAYS separated no matter what animal comes over, they have their own room and no animals will meet. House Sitting: I’m available for 24 hour check in visits, but I do not stay overnight in clients’ homes. I’m very flexible and can provide multiple visits throughout the day and night. I’m home most of the time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, so pets aren’t left alone for long and can stick to their normal routine as much as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention based on each pet’s needs. At my home, I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi! 🐾 I absolutely LOVE dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, cuddling with them, and spending quality time making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I’m available for overnight stays at either your home or mine, and I’m happy to tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs and routine. I grew up around dogs and have volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and temperaments. I can also administer medications when needed! Animals have always been a big part of my life. ❤️ I have a cat and a doodle myself! They are both dog and cat friendly and love to cuddle, so I’m happy to discuss whether my home would be a good fit for your pup. Your pets will be treated like family, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶💕 My availability is open right now due to work being slow ! So i can be all hands on and give your pet the best service and care. Pets in or at other homes depending on the care they need i like to be on top of it! Feeding,walking,grooming, snuggling!!!

About: I’m a dependable, caring, and responsible pet lover who understands how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for when you’re away. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, keeping up with feeding and walking schedules, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment. I’m also very reliable when it comes to communication, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship during the day, or someone trustworthy to care for your home and pets while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and am used to planning my day around the needs of others. I’m able to make time for regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care when needed. I’m very organized and dependable, so I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I also enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so walks and visits are something I genuinely look forward to rather than something I have to fit in. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is kept as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I make sure everything is kept clean, secure, and comfortable while you’re away. I also give pets plenty of attention and affection while still respecting their personality and boundaries. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Stephanie was amazing! This was our first time leaving the pups for a week (one is only 5 months old and full of energy). She took excellent care of our babies while we were away. She sent us photos and videos of the pups with updates. She went above and beyond. Even gave my pup a bath before we got home. It’s not easy leaving your pups but we were at ease knowing they were being so well taken care of while we were away. So grateful we found her! Highly recommend!! Would love to have her watch our pups again!”

“Martha was great with Suki. She was kind, gentle, and concerned for her well-being while we were out of town. She was also flexible with our stay when we had some date changes, two weeks before our travel. She left the house clean and clutter-free. She even did extra things like bring in the mail and take out the trash before she left. She was communicative with us while we were traveling so we knew that Suki was in good hands, and happily cared for during our vacation. Would not hesitate to have Martha watch Suki and the house again in the future. Please contact her if you want someone to watch your beloved furry 'child' and house while you are on vacation, with no worries.”

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Tessa! I’ve recently taken over my mom’s Rover account and relocated to Gainesville for college. I’ve been around and caring for dogs and cats for years, both my own and pets for families in my community. I’m excited to continue providing the same loving, reliable care to families here in Gainesville! From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and following detailed instructions to make sure everyone feels safe, happy, and comfortable. 🌟 What Sets Me Apart Personalized Care – I give each pet plenty of individual attention, playtime, cuddles, and care based on their personality and routine. Reliable & Responsible – I’m organized, dependable, and take pet care seriously. You can feel confident knowing your pets are in good hands while you’re away. Experience With All Ages – I’m comfortable with playful puppies, energetic dogs, senior pets, and everything in between. Patient & Adaptable – Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs a little extra attention, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable. 🐶 Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them that way! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends and helping make your time away stress-free. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I now have a much more flexible schedule. I’m no longer tied to a 9–5 office job, which means I can be available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends to fit your pet’s needs. I love being active and getting outside, so daily walks, playtime, and check-ins are part of my own lifestyle. Whether it’s midday potty breaks, overnight care, or consistent drop-ins, I can adjust to your pet’s routine and keep things stress-free while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure, and I’m mindful about keeping food, toys, and medications safe and organized. If pets are in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I keep a clean space, provide fresh water and cozy rest areas, and ensure all pets are safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and attention to detail, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“Valentina went above and beyond for us. We were supposed to arrive on Monday night but we got stuck on I-95 overnight during the crazy road closures with the ice and snow and didn’t know when we were going to get home and she went over again the next morning to feed and walk our dog even though I hadn’t originally scheduled her for that day. It really helped us out and eased our worries while we were dealing with all the stress of being stranded on the freeway.”

About: I help to care for two dogs at home, one of which struggles with anxiety. I frequently volunteer at a local cat shelter where I help care for and socialize animals. I’m fresh out of college and still looking for a job, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of pets. Reach out whenever! My dogs are fed twice a day and walked at least twice a day, not counting regular potty breaks. If your pets have any more advanced needs or schedules, I’m happy to accommodate them.

About: Hi there! My name is Adrianna, and I’ve been around animals my whole life—I’ve had pets since I was 3 years old and started pet sitting when I was 8 for family friends. I truly love and adore animals, and I always treat them like my own. Whether your pet needs medication, shots, feeding, overnight care, a cozy place to relax, walks, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority! Let me know how I can care for your furry (or not-so-furry) friend! I have four dogs and four cats, and my animals mean everything to me. Every morning, I feed all of them and prepare special food for one dog with multiple allergies. One cat requires injections, and three of my dogs need daily medication. I consistently take the dogs outside to use the bathroom and make sure all of my animals receive the love, care, and attention they need and want. I am willing to do anything for my animals and other animals that aren’t mine. I had to give cats and dogs medicine in any kind of way. With oral, anal ways, ear canal, soaps & shots.

Morgan is a wonderful dog sitter! We have a dog who can be a little shy at first, but Morgan was extremely patient with him and knew how to make him feel comfortable. She was extremely communicative while we were out of town and sent lots of photos. We already have booked Morgan again and we highly recommend her to anyone who needs dog care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fleming Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fleming Island is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 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 1,426 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fleming Island. 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 Fleming Island 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 Fleming Island 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 Fleming Island 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.
