This is the second time Annabeth has watched our rescue pets. We have 5 so we know that can be a lot and all have unique personalities/needs so it is helpful to have hired someone who understands and can be patient with our pets. We see Annabeth as family.

If I could give Laura more than 5 stars, I would. She was FANTASTIC (each time we've booked her), both at taking care of our multiple pups and communicating with us. There's no one I'd trust more when we have to be away.

Missy is an absolute angel and spoiled my babies! She not only took such great care of my dogs, but my house and I felt safe knowing she was here taking care of things. She's an excellent communicator and really went above and beyond. I can't recommend her enough!

Destiny was great staying with our two dogs and two cats, one of the cats recently started living with us after my father passed away, so she is a nervous cat with all the changes. She worked around our pets' schedule, sent updates and pictures, and let us know when she was leaving. One of my cats got a little sore under his eye while we were gone. Destiny sent us a pic, asking if this was common and treated him with ointment after we spoke. When we came home, everything looked like we left it and our pets were happy and healthy. Will definitely book Destiny again.

Lux has been a great (repeat) dog sitter for our 3 dogs. Staying in our home was so convenient. Our dogs were well taken care of and I felt very comfortable with all the communication received. He has gotten to know our dogs really well and it shows. We will definitely be having him help us again when we go out of town! THANK YOU!

About: I have taken care of many pups and built many meaningful relationships with their owners! I pride myself in my relationship with animals and hope to spend my time caring for your babies! I babysit consistently for a family one day a week (Fridays) and go to school online so my availability is almost always open! I’d like to be notified at least a day or two before the days you need care for your pet! Caring for a pet in someone else home involves being respectful of another’s property and being mindful of any and all hazards potential to cause problems with the animal. Making sure to follow clear instructions and take all the necessary precautions with the pet is the only right thing to do!

About: I walk the dogs at the animal shelter when I have extra time. I have done this on and off for about 3 years when I can. I work part time night shift and I’m in school 3 or 4 mornings a week, but I often have time in the afternoons and weekends. I have grown up with dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and 1 large dog at home and have always loved the company of animals.

Elsmere, KY, 41018

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. This includes senior dogs, energetic puppies, and everything in between. Over the years, I’ve provided pet care for neighbors, friends, and family, including walking, feeding, and ensuring their pets feel safe and well-loved in their absence. Currently, I have three dogs—two mixed breeds and a German Shepherd—one of whom I’ve raised from a puppy. I also care for a cat, giving me experience with both kittens and adolescent cats. My passion for animals drives me to provide attentive, compassionate care, and I genuinely enjoy making pets feel comfortable, secure, and happy. I currently work part-time at a pet and plant store, where I work two 8-hour shifts and one 4-hour shift each week. I’m also a student, but I’m not taking any classes this summer, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. This means I’m available most days for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, including weekdays and weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—not only because of my work environment, but also because animals are a big part of my life at home. With my open summer schedule and experience, I can reliably provide consistent, attentive care fixed to your pet’s needs. When it comes to house sitting, dog walking, and daycare, I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being above all else. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that’s both consistent and reassuring. For house sitting, I treat your home with respect—keeping it clean, secure, and following all care instructions closely. I make sure pets stay relaxed in their familiar environment and stick to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules. During dog walks, I always use secure, well-fitting leashes or harnesses and choose routes that are safe and enjoyable. I pay close attention to each dog’s pace, energy level, and behavior, ensuring they get healthy exercise and attention. For daycare, I create a calm and engaging environment where pets can play, rest, and feel loved while you're away. I provide frequent potty breaks and of course, lots of affection. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly care about the pets I work with.

Kelsey was great! She took care of my 3 cats when my husband and I had to leave town suddenly due to a death in the family. She responded quickly and was able to meet us within hours to go over the pets so we could leave asap. She made sure to give us a daily update with pictures of our babies. And she left our house so clean (cleaner than it was when we left). She empty and refilled the cats' litter box, cleaned the counters, and vacuum! We will definitely book her again.

We had a wonderful experience with Kat! She stayed at our home for a week and took great care of our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure our pets were happy and comfortable while we were away. Kat went above and beyond when our Chukit broke during her stay. She even purchased a replacement so the dogs could continue enjoying one of their favorite activities. We came home to two happy, well cared for dogs. I will absolutely book with her again when we go out of town in the future.

I was anxious about leaving the boys with a new person for 16 days while out of the country, but Joe eased my mind quickly with updates and pictures of the boys. We will definitely be using him again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Florence

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Florence on Rover is $38.85 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 1,289 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
  • 96% 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.
