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.
“Kylee was absolutely wonderful with my two anxious fur babies. Not to mention she reduced my anxiety with her frequent texts and pictures. I just loved Kylee and I would highly recommend her to everyone. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Kylee. 🩷🩷🩷”
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
“Shanna was excellent. First time I have left my pup in a very long time and it was nice to know she was taking good care of her. Since we were overseas it was important we got someone really good and she nailed it!”
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.
“Our dogs received so much love and care! Our two 100lb+ dogs require detailed arrangements to prevent aggression and they were treated with excellent care and attention - specifically with extra comfort for the 4th of July fireworks noise. We look forward to booking again!”
“Took great care of my pups while I was gone. Provided constant updates the entire time and clarified anything there was a question on. My dogs were obviously well cared for and would definitely become a repeat client due to this experience.”
“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!!”

“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.
“Anazing Sitter! Went above and beyond at every turn! Our goofy lab got sick the night before we left for our wedding. The Sitter offered to take or Lab to the vet, called us from the vet and gave meds to him all while managing our 3 other pups! She made my very over protective husband relieved and at ease that our pups were being taken care of and our lab was feeling better within a day! She took care of our pups like we would have ! loved on them, cared for them, and made them feel loved and cared for! cannot recommend her enough! her knowledge as a vet tech was invaluable. She allowed us to relax and enjoy our wedding and even gave us flowers when we returned home. Truly amazing!!”
About: I have experience with multiple different dogs, 5+ years sitting for dogs and cats for family and friends. I treat your home and animals as I would my own, I can stay, or check in several times a day. Nothing is too much! I am currently a stay at home mum, so other than school runs, I am completely available! My youngest also loves animals, so she would love to play with your babies if allowed to accompany me! I will stick to exact guidelines given, I believe animals thrive with familiarity and routine, so I guarantee to complete the same daily routines they are already used to!
“Joaquin & Anne were excellent and I would highly recommend them to watch any of your pets. They watched my 3 Yorkies and 1 canary for a week, sending pictures and giving me tips and advice. They were very professional, great at communicating with regular updates and kept my home neat and tidy. I felt very fortunate to have them watch my precious little gang.”
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was 3, I definitely have my fair share of experience with the puppy stage all the way up to senior care. I have 2 dogs of my own one is 2 the other is 3, and have had 2 family dogs in my life one (Oreo) sadly passed away from cancer and the other (waffles) is 14 and still thriving! Dogs will always have a special place in my heart 😌 I currently work full-time, but I am fully available on the weekends and can come before and after my scheduled work shift if needed throughout the week I’m very gentle and patient when caring for dogs in clients homes, since I have two dogs of my own, I know having an unfamiliar person around, can be frightening. I also make sure I am very respectful in clients home and follow as I’m told
About: We've been caring for pets since we were both about 5 years old, with Gary's grandparents owning a farm & ranch in Montana growing up. Karen's family bred poodles since she was born. We're good at training puppies, and adult dogs as well. We love playing fetch much of the day with our Tilly and will do what your pet loves as well! We've cared for HUGE birds, tiny birds, chickens, cats, dogs large and small, rabbits, cattle, horses and pigs. We have also administered various types of medicine and cared for different types of infections, teaching owners as well. We love to snuggle with them and give them lots of attention! I, Karen, am used to cooking holistic meals for our dog and will care for your pet according to your instructions as well. We enjoy walking them, swimming with them and petting them often. They deserve it! They rely on us for their WHOLE well-being. Consistency is so important for animals so we will respect and follow the plans you lay out for them. We can also gather mail, water plants, do housekeeping, organization, gardening and more. Gary is a great handyman should the need arise during a sit. He maintains our pool and irrigation systems and makes any repairs needed. We're truly a great team!❤️ This is our sole work so available most of the time! Of course it depends on the type of care you need and if it works along with another sit. For example, we could walk your dog daily and have an overnight sit that allows for a short leave for that. We are very attentive, loving and kind! Our goldendoodle Tilly is on a nice schedule for exercise, eating, supplements and only healthy treats. We keep her clean and always look her over for any wounds and whatnot. We keep a clean home with uplifting music for pets. Also, we're very cognizant of pet signals, like needing to go potty, play, snack, snuggle and wanting general attention. It's one of those things that you get blessed by for just BEING a blessing to them!💛
About: I've cared for my own dogs as well as family and friends dogs my whole life. Work in dog daycare and boarding for 8 years. I work full time but am available nights and weekends to care for your pups! I will be available nights and weekends when most other places would not be. Your dogs will be walked securely on leads and will be cared for in your home as needed! I will be your dog's friend while you are away. My dog has gone through training more than once and I am comfortable giving any structure needed.
“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!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Florence
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
As of August 2026, there are 823 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.

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.
