“Corey was absolutely amazing with George and Bosun! From the moment we met him, I felt confident they were in great hands. He was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that George and Bosun were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Coming home to two relaxed, content dogs meant everything to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Corey again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable Rover sitter!”
“Ashley did an amazing job sitting my house of animals, they were all very happy and well taken care of. Great communication and flexibility for my last minute trip, will 100% book again”
“Jessica was wonderful. This was our first experience with a sitter, so I was nervous. She exceeded all of my expectations. Jessica answered all of my questions, was here when she said she would be, played with Bear, took him on nice long walks, sent lots of pictures, and left the house in perfect condition. Thank you so much! We will absolutely have Jessica sit for us again.”
“Bonnieli is amazing! she communicated clearly prior to meeting and arrived early with a smile on her face. my dog paco is a very anxious boy but loved playing and walking with her! her love for dogs is obvious and i cannot recommend enough”
“This is the second time Carol has stayed with Apollo and I felt completely at ease knowing she was with him. She plays with him and takes him for walks but most importantly she comforts him when it thunderstorms. He is extremely anxious when it thunders and she makes him feel safe. I highly recommend her.”
“Taylor is the best. She stayed at our home and took care of our dog who was in love with her. We felt completely relaxed and trusted her completly. We do hope she can spend more time with our dog in the near future.”
“Courtney was a wonderful sitter for our 2 pups and 1 cat as well as house sitting for us. She was flexible as we had a changing schedule which was not expected. We really appreciate Courtney and plan on reaching out to her in the future!”
About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.
“I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Linda for the second time! Once again, she exceeded my expectations while taking care of my fur-babies. Linda is incredibly attentive and truly understands my dog's needs. She provided regular updates, shared cute photos and videos that made my time away so much easier. It was clear that my dog felt comfortable and happy, which is all I could ask for. Her dedication to ensuring my fur-baby was well cared for means the world to me. I can't recommend Linda enough! I have already booked her two more times.”
“Jessica did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs and house while we were away! She kept me posted with pictures and updates every few hours. I would highly recommend her! So happy to have found Jessica. She's exactly what we were hoping for in a trusted pet-sitter.”
“Our 2 girls love Jadine. She took great care of them. She sent pictures and kept us informed. ALSO While away I was sick and hospitalized. Jadine was able to work it out to stay longer. Our minds and hearts were at ease with Jadine! HIGHLY RECCOMEND.”
“Katie was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone nervous about leaving their pets. She eased our minds with several pictures throughout the day. All of my animals looked happy and relaxed. Her communication throughout her stay with our animals was fast and frequent. We came home to happy animals and a spotless house. Thank you so much!!”
“Riley was great! We felt confident that our dog was being taken care of so well. The daily updates took away any of the anxiety we had. We will definitely be booking Riley again.”
“Terry was great! We were visiting Florida from out of town and needed a sitter for 8+ hours with fairly short notice. Our sweet pup isn't always a fan of strangers - especially when we're leaving him with them. Terry was able to win him over - and even sent me a video of her giving him a belly rub! Not only was she willing to stay with him the entire time, but she brought him two toys - one being a stuffed alligator which has become his favorite since we've returned home! Terry clearly loves animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to spoil their pet while they're away - she's Dudley approved!”
“This was our first time using Rover since we moved to Florida. We felt good about using Katelyne after the meet & greet. It was obvious she has a love for dogs. She was prompt arriving, kept us informed throughout the day including sending pics and she gave us a synopsis when we got home. She made sure we didn’t have any questions for before she left. We will use Katelyne again, providing she is available.”
“Super communicative, able to relieve all my worries when i’m away from my kitty. Appreciated yenifers constant pictures and updates being sent, as well as following guidelines to the tea. Thank you yenifer you were great!!! will definitely be rebooking”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Floral City
Leaving our pets behind is never easy, especially when they aren’t “just pets”—they’re family. This was the very first time we trusted someone outside of our family with our three rescue babies: a 9-month-old puppy, a 1-year-old kitten, and a 3-year-old cat, each with their own unique personalities, quirks, and needs. From the moment Elizabeth met them, she understood that building trust would take patience. She took the time to let each of them warm up to her at their own pace and treated them with the same love, kindness, and respect that we do. It was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and happiness. Throughout our trip, Elizabeth kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us incredible peace of mind. Every update reassured us that our babies were safe, loved, and receiving wonderful care. Instead of worrying about what was happening at home, we were able to fully enjoy our time away knowing they were in such capable hands. When we returned home, our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That speaks volumes. I cannot thank Elizabeth enough for the care, attention, and love she gave our furry family. She exceeded every expectation we had and turned what could have been a stressful experience into a completely positive one. We will absolutely use her again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional with animals. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough.
Elizabeth was great! My two 6 lbs Yorkies loved her. They have been showing me all the toys every minute that she played with with, but truly she she fed them. She stayed with them. She played with them and they had a great time I feel it is because it was my first time going away, and I felt comfortable leaving Elizabeth in charge of the dogs and my home. She’s welcome back anytime she wants to visit and anytime I need to go on a trip she’ll be the first that I reach out to. She’s wonderful.
Great job taking care of Cheyenne and the home. We had a bump in the road on the first day regarding the start time, as I wanted her to come to the house. After we cleared that up, everything else went well. Cheyenne was happy, and the home was in great shape when I got back, and Elly even left some homemade Chilli for me.

FAQs for House Sitting - Floral City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Floral City on Rover is $35.48 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 725 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Floral City. 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 Floral City 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 Floral City 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 Floral City 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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
