“Kylee loves and cares for your pet like they are her own 🖤 i got lots of updates and pictures and shelly warmed up to her quickly which doesn’t happen often so that was nice to know they both enjoyed their time together”
About: With 15 years of dog behavioral and care experience, theres nothing I have not seen or dealt with. I offer a safe and structured environment for all temperaments, breed and age. Dog sitting is my life and passion. I do this 24/7, I am a stay at home mom and have finally decided to start my own dog sitting business I have a large fenced yard when the weather permits for fun outdoor activities, as well as a dog proof home environment that allows your dog to be loved like family in a safe and clean environment
“Kailyn is amazing!!! She stayed with my girls on the Fourth of July while I was out of town. Her regular texts and talk about my poor little girls who were so scared of the fireworks. It was so reassuring to me. She definitely went all out to make sure they were comfortable as possible and just loved on them. I will absolutely message her again when I need to be out of town. Thank you so much!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Ava and her mom! Ava’s mom watched our two dogs while we were away, and she went above and beyond to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Our dogs have severe anxiety, and one of them is a senior dog who needs daily medication, so leaving them is never easy. She was so patient and caring with them, even when they were a lot to handle. One would sleep on her head at night, and the other wouldn’t leave her side and would whine anytime she walked away or tried to do anything. Instead of getting frustrated, she would stop what she was doing to comfort her or include her. She also sent us so many pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We know our dogs have separation anxiety, but honestly, I think we do too! 😂 This was our first time using Ava and her mom, and we will absolutely use them again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pets like their own.”
“Shanna was awesome with my two fur babies! She took the time to listen to me explain their quirks and personalities and gave a full report on how things went. Will definitely be calling her again!”
“Tobi is amazing, she does very with our 2 German Shephereds. She is a great communicator. We have used her services 3 times now. I am able to enjoy myself when I am away because Tobi does such a great job with everything. I trust her staying overnight at my home.”
About: I have cared for dogs at all ages, from puppies to elders. I understand the importance of maintaining schedule/routine for the animal and making them as comfortable as possible. I am a student and attend school and clinical shifts but when I am not there, I am studying! I am not gone for very long on school days (M&Tue) and my clinical shifts are 8.5 hours (W&Thur). Other than that I am able to fully care and be available for pets! I prefer caring for pets in their home to make them more comfortable, I have pets myself and I always try to do that for them! I understand when their parents are away, it is important for them to be in their own place and be as comfortable as they can! I can adjust well to their needs and their schedules.
About: Respecting your home and understanding that it’s your pets home is most important to me. I love meeting new furry friends, in my past I’ve house sat, dog sat, and cat sat many times. I will respect your wishes on how you prefer care. I work full time at Mesa La-Z-Boy. It’s an hour drive. I leave for work 8:45, and get home usually around 6:30-7 at the latest. I can come to your home before work and check in (walk, feed, ect) and again after work. I’m open to staying over night to keep an eye as well. Then I’m off on Mondays and Tuesdays. Depending on what you’re looking for I can make myself available to you more. Anything I can do to take stress off your shoulders. I will give your pet the care it needs and do what it takes to make them comfortable. That’s what I’m here for! I take time to learn more about our pets and their needs so everyone is safe and protected.
“Lilly is awesome!! Moose loved her, she was very patient and kind with him. Kept great communication and met all of his needs. 100% would re book! Was a great help and helped with a house emergency. Very much appreciated!”
About: I have been the go to for many families to take care of their fur babies for many years. I have walked dogs bigger than me, given medicine to blind cats, and helped elderly dogs find their way outside. I am an online college student who would love to have your pets keep me company while I complete my classes. My schedule is very open to be able to give your fur baby the attention they deserve. I adapt so your pet doesn't have to. I can get up early or stay up late to meet their needs. Everyone has a different schedule I can adjust to to make the transition easier on their pets.
“Anne and Joaquin are amazing! My spouse and I recently moved to Phoenix and we had never needed to use a sitting service before. You can say we were a bit apprehensive as we have senior dogs that have never been left with strangers before. But Anne and Joaquin have completely put our minds at ease. Our babies are happy and stress free with them. They're very responsive and like to keep us updated throughout the day. Joaquin takes so much pride in his work and you can tell he bonds with the pets he sits for. We can leave on vacation and have the peace of mind that our babies are in great hands. Would highly recommend Anne and Joaquin!! They're our go to sitters going forward!”

“I had super anxiety about leaving my dogs with someone we didnt know. Danny did more than 100% of taking care of my furbabies. I would recommend him again and again. He is trustworthy and loves animals. He sent me pictures and videos of the dogs because he knew how much anxiety I had. The next time I need a sitter ot someone I know I will be contacting Danny!!!!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies and high energy dogs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I focus on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, active, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel right at home I work a consistent schedule and make time daily for pet care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention.

I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and playtime. I’m experienced with different dog personalities and energy levels, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully
“Tina was awesome!! We were nervous leaving our babies. We have a different schedule and our boys are used to it. You could tell she took excellent care of our boys. We left & came back to a clean home. When we have to travel again Tina will be our first call.”
“Wonderful caregiver and house sitter! Kept us informed with messages and pictures! She took great care of our babies while we were away! Ok too if that, our house was in the same condition as we left it and treated with respect! Would definitely book again, we highly recommend!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and my attention to their individual needs. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a bit more patience and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with following specific routines, and providing plenty of playtime, affection, and care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a part-time personal trainer, I have plenty of availability throughout the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m experienced with both playful puppies and senior dogs who may need a slower pace or special care. I’m committed to making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to help them feel at ease. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax and play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency and comfort for the pet. I always prioritize supervision, secure surroundings, and open communication to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

Holly was so amazing! Holly was very communicative throughout the time she stayed at our house. Holly is very accommodating and went above and beyond in her stay. It is very hard to find people that you trust to stay in your house as well as take care of your fur babies, so I highly recommend Holly as do our fur babies! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Florence on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 812 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Florence. 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 Florence 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 Florence 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 Florence 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 Florence. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
