“Overall had an excellent experience with Logan dog sitting. She was very flexible and able to meet in advance so my dog could become acquainted with her prior to the booked dates. Great communication throughout sitting, sent daily updates and pictures! She took great care of my dog and treated my home with respect.”
“Zahira was a great dog and housesitter! She was punctual, very communicative and sent plenty of photos and videos of our dog each day. Our pup was happy and healthy when we got home. We’ve already booked her to watch our dog again! Highly recommend, thanks so much!!”
“Morgan was a great pet sitter. My dog can be very shy and warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive and helpful. My pets were well cared for by her, and I will definitely use her services again when I need an overnight sitter.”
“Nicole was diligent in caring for our dog and bought him a couple of new toys that he loves! She was cheerful and exhibited a great ability in being able to manage his rambunctious behaviors from the very first day. We appreciated her dependability and punctuality.”

I have the ability to take the dogs on long walks if need be!
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care you gave Otis this week while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you for all the updates, attention, and love you showed him it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. You went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate your reliability, kindness, and care for Otis like he was your own. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you again for everything!”
“I highly recommend Julia! She was wonderful with our dog, Charlie, and took great care of our house. She was responsible, timely, and communicative. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: Greetings pet pawrents!! My name is Rin I’m a Jersey local dog handler and trainer! My son Goku, local dogs, and dogs at work experience (dog hotels, walking, training, boarding) are motive to keep doing what I do. Dog handling is care out of love. Luci and Goku are my dear children that I revolve my daily routine around. Working at a pet hotel, babysitting for friends and neighbors who have pets, dog walking, dog training, animal bathing, and pet check-ins. Are all apart of my daily life! Caring and nurturing animals everyday are just steps towards my dreams of being an exotic vet. my dog loves other dogs especially since he goes to work with me and hangs out with dogs! If I came to a clients home and they preferred it private my dog would stay home with my roommates.
“Amy stayed with our two golden retrievers that we rescued about 9 months ago. We try to be very careful with who we leave them with as they are still adjusting to life with us. Amy did a wonderful job with them, sent me pictures and updates and kept them on their normal routine with walks and feeding. She's very conscientious and wants to follow all instructions. We will definitely use her again!”
“Lisa was incredibly thoughtful and thorough when watching Zelda for a long weekend. I have never left her with anyone other than family and I was nervous, but Lisa put me completely at ease. From the first conversation I had with her, Lisa asked questions about Zelda's behavior, what she is comfortable with, and made sure she had all the information she needed to fully care for my dog. I would absolutely recommend Lisa and will be using her again!”
About: My personalized care goes beyond the leash – I am committed to tailoring each experience to your furry friend's unique needs and personality! My goal is to make your pet feel like you are not even gone!:) I am a nurse working 3 days a week, so I am looking for something to do on my off days! I can be very flexible!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for and handling a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals like gerbils. I currently have a 6-year-old Pit Bull/Husky mix and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable with everyday pet care, different personalities, and keeping pets on their normal routines. My dog is dog-friendly, playful, and loves having a buddy around. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular feeding schedule, provide medications as directed, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, walks, and enrichment. I know every pet has their own routine and quirks, so I’m also happy to accommodate specific care instructions to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. I work remote and can currently take weekday or weekend appointments depending on when they are booked. This allows me to have time to walk, feed, and give your pet extra attention if needed. I have a fenced in yard and dog friendly home, my cat keeps to herself upstairs when dog sitting and my dog if a temperament and size match will keep you dog company of course with supervision:)
“They are both amazing! We are moving too and I told them they really don’t have to stay at the house since it was chaotic with boxes and such, but they insisted to stay with my babies. My pups were obsessed 🤍🐾”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Florence is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Florence. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
