“They do such a great job. We have a large crew here of three great Danes and two cats. And they have no problem, taking care of them always going above and beyond. Nicolas even brought him some more toys so they could go outside and play in the beautiful weather. Again great job!”
“Colleen was amazing with our two dogs and we couldn't have been happier with the care she gave them in our home while we were gone. She was very loving she was with them, played with them and gave them daily walks. I loved how communicative she was and she sent the cutest pictures of them everyday. Our dogs were very comfortable with her and that gave us such great peace of mind. We will absolutely use her again! Thanks so much Colleen!”
“Darci is a great sitter. I used her for house sitting for three days. My dog was not even excited to see me when I returned. She is a great communicator. I will definitely be using her often.”
About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 and have been babysitting my sister's 3 dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I'm experienced in giving extra attention to one of her dogs that needs ointments for his allergies and bathing them when needed. Additionally, I'm comfortable handling various pet care tasks, from feeding and walking to playing and administering medications. My dedication to ensuring pets feel loved and well-cared-for sets me apart. I have three cats and one bunny I play with them 3-4 times a day before I go to work and after and feed them on a schedule every 2 days I administer an ointment medicine onto one of my cats eyes to help with his feline agenesis seeing and caring for them is my favorite part of the day I focus on feeding, exercise, and providing attention. I also handle any medication and grooming needs, making sure they feel safe and loved in their environment.
“It’s been hard to find a pet sitter that truly cares but we hit the jackpot with Julia! She took great care of our fur babies, house and sent plenty of photos. She takes pride in making sure she treats our pets like her own and we are forever grateful!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and I have had guinea pigs in my past as well. I have handled pets with all sorts of personalities and enjoy finding what they need to feel comfortable while you are away. Whether it is walking them daily or giving them medicine and even taking them to the vet if needed. I have done it all. I do currently work part time for a local pool. However, my schedule is really flexible and can be made to fit whatever is needed to make the pets feel comfortable. I have 3 small dogs at home which is why I can't have pets at my home as well as a family with a busy schedule. I have done everything from give medicine, follow strict diet and food instructions. I have also have had to take a golden retriever to the vet after his stitches came out while I was watching him due to him messing with the wound.
“Claudia was great! I can tell Sissy was very comfortable and content with Claudia at her house. She was all set up to welcome her into her home and her calm energy is just what my anxious little dog needed.”
“Cassi was absolutely amazing! She stayed with our pups and took such great care of them. She was super communicative and reassuring and as an anxious pet parent that meant the world to me. My pups loved her too! Thanks Cassandra!!!!!”
“Kylie was a great sitter for our home & fur babies. She sent photos of them daily and answered promptly. We were looking for a permanent sitter for when we vacation and we found her!”
“We had such a great experience with Sidnee! She was incredibly patient and caring with our six dogs. She followed every detail perfectly, kept us updated with Ron and his food and making sure he ate, paying attention to Kahlua and Baileys behavior and resolving any issues or changing things if needed. Her communication was amazing the entire time. She kept us updated, listened to our notes, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. You can really tell she cares about the dogs. Highly recommend! 💛”
“Alison is very prompt and reliable. She updated us with pictures of our pet. She does a remarkable job! Will definitely use her many times more. Give her a shot. You won’t be disappointed.”
About: I’ve had pets ever since I was 8. Everything ranging from lizards, bunnies, chinchillas, dogs, cats. All were well taken care of. I am pretty knowledgeable with pet behavior and animals like me so I’d say that’s a plus as well. I currently have a puppy, so I usually work with him daily to train him and make sure he has everything he needs. I also take care of 3 other pets along with him daily. I have a fenced in yard. I have two dogs, and a cat that are friendly with other pets. I make sure all pet needs are met before leaving a client's house.
“Andrea is a gem. She is very attentive and is wonderful with Eli. She ensures that he gets his medicine and daily exercise. When she comes over he immediately brings her a toy which is a wonderful sign. Eli also loves her boys. She also takes great care of the house while we are away. Highly recommend her to take care of your special pet.”
About: A cat owner for many years, I will help keep your fur babies safe while you are away! I have had cats in my home since I was born, and have 2 of my own!! I am a high school teacher so I am currently available all throughout weekends and after 3 on weekdays. Over the summer I am an open book!! I have two friendly cats to keep your fur baby company and I have a screened in patio for some outside time if needed!! Can’t wait to work with you!
“Kaitlyn stayed at our home with our two dogs for a long weekend and we were very pleased. At the meet and greet she asked good questions and sent messages while we were away. We returned home to a clean place and happy dogs. Will use her again.”
“Heidi was a wonderful sitter for our sweet pup. She communicated well and gave us all the updates. She took care of our home and was so patient as we worked through some issues with our air conditioner as well. We would let her puppy sit again and again(:”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fleming Island on Rover is $36.49 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 1,439 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 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.
