“Vanessa and her daughter were amazing! We got picture updates the whole time and when my one dog made a mess from her storm anxiety they cleaned it up and organized everything so well!!! They cared for our dogs like they were their own which made my trip much less stressful! Definitely recommend and will be using them in the future!!”
“Dayana is always great with my doggies! She is a regular in my household, she is so carrying, always keeping me updated with everything and even goes out of her way to help me whenever I book with her. I highly recommend her!”
“We had the best experience with Mendora! We were gone for 10 days on vacation and everyday our dogs were looked after and cared for without worry. She showed up on time every time to feed, let our dogs out, and spend time with them. She kept us updated with messages and pictures of our pups daily. One of our dogs was on an antibiotic while in Mendora’s care and she made sure our pup didn’t miss a single pill. Thank you for everything we really appreciate all you did for us and our pups. We will 100% recommend and use again!”

About: Raised with a pittie and boxer! Always had pets in the home from big to small. I work as a zookeeper at a private zoo/sanctuary with animals such as big cats, small wild cats, canids, birds of prey, and primates. I’ve had to raise some since they were babies, and have had to care for some at an old age I currently switched over to only volunteering at the zoo! I’m available anytime! My schooling is online so there would be no inconvenience! I try to be active during the day so your furry friend will definitely be a part of that My complex is fenced and dog friendly! I have a cat that does get along with dogs and other cats as well but if your furry friend doesn’t that’s okay! They can be in their own space if needed. I will follow your instructions to a T and if I need to reach out to you I certainly will, I will also send little update pics of what your fur babies and I are doing!
“Adri bonded with Charlie immediately, she was prompt, kind friendly and accommodating. She sent pictures of charlie periodically throughout the day along with frequent updates. I definitely will book her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have two that are in my fenced backyard. I have done basic training on them and cared for puppies that my dog had so I have experience with all ages even months old puppies. I love dogs so much and while I was in my college apartment, I would dogsit with my roommate. I’m currently studying for the LSAT, so I am not working and wanted some extra money. I an available every day but I may be a bit busier on the weekends. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs, but I do not have to take your dog outside with them if you do not feel comfortable. I can walk them in the front yard and around the block. I live in a very safe neighborhood and everyone in my family has experience with dogs.
About: I live, breath, and think of animals. My future career is a veterinarian and this will help me as I proceed in Veterinary Assisting. I've always had a dog in my life and I've grown up learning new ways to train my dogs and new ways to to keep them active. I have two pets of my own, the first is a Amstaff Terrier and the second is a Great Dane. I enjoy adding my pets into my exercise routine because I know this is the pets exercise time as well. I love to buy pet toys and present them as a gift to my own pet which makes them excited easy to play. Hopefully I can be that fun factor to your sweet and loving pet.

When I’m caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are your dog’s comfort, safety, happiness and treating your space with the same respect I’d give my own.

Whether it’s giving belly rubs on the couch, sticking to special care instructions (like medication), or just being a calm and familiar presence. I’m there to keep your dog happy in the place they feel most at ease, home sweet home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I have petsitted a few times in Nicaragua, but the service was never as popular. I currently have a ten year old cocker spaniel named Leia, who you can see in my picture. I’m a proud dog friend and an aspiring cat friend as I haven’t had much experience with cats. However, I love animals (as long as they are not insects). I am one to pay close attention to pet body language, and I will make sure to provide the most comfort and love to your furbaby 💕 I’m currently working part-time so I will be super happy to fit any pet care into my schedule. I’m very punctual will petsit for you on friday and weekends, when you usually want to go out and enjoy human time ✨ I’m happy to provide any tools and help you acquire items for your pet. If you need me to pet-shop too, I will! I also have a car of my own, so there is no end to dog parks we can visit. I will go and stay at your home as much as you need in order to care for your pet. Everybody at home adores pets.
About: I have been professionally pet and house sitting since I was 16, but have taken care of animals almost all my life. Some of the animals I’ve personally had the pleasure to own have been a turtle, fish, a hamster, cat, and dogs. Most of my experience is with dogs, ranging from 3 month puppies to 16 year old gray faced seniors that have special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding schedules, and giving the necessary patience and attention to animals who need additional assistance. My schedule is flexible throughout the week and weekend, so your pets will get the best companionship, supervision, and care I can give. I will respond as soon as I can with any inquiries or concerns. I provide respectful, attentive care for both pets and homes. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, feeding, or simply relaxing together, your pet will be supervised and well cared for. I also take pride in keeping homes clean, organized, and well maintained, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’m a pet groomer and sitter of 5+ years. I have experience caring for senior and younger animals as well as hedgehogs, ferrets, and Lizards. Your fur baby will always be accompanied by me and my family! They are able to roam around the house and the fenced back yard always being supervised. I have an 8 foot high fenced backyard with a small doggy door. Pets are welcome on the furniture or one of the many pet beds and will be provided fresh water and be fed separately. I have all my grooming supplies at home if you’d like have your fur baby groomed during their stay and I have experience grooming both dogs and cats 🐶🐱
“Alana was wonderful with our baby Kaya. She sent photos, updates and was quick to answer any questions we had. She was able to give our dog her medicine, and took her for her regular walks. We came home to a spotless home, and a happy dog. We look forward to having Alana come back soon, without hesitation. Thank you Alana!”
“Samantha took wonderful care of Dino! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dino came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She was kind, attentive, and made sure he was comfortable. I truly appreciate the love and care she gave him. I would definitely trust her with Dino again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Samantha! ❤️🐶”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Florida City
Vanessa fue una excelente cuidadora con mi gordo, es una persona muy amable y carismática, estuvo en constante comunicación conmigo durante te la estancia de mi gordo me enviaba fotos, se le nota el amor por los anímales, aunque esta fue mi primera vez dejando a mi gordo con ella me dio bastante confianza y pude viajar tranquila sabiendo que estaba en buenas manos. Agradezco cada gesto de amor y cariño dado x ella y su familia a mi gordito, es un bulldog inglés que está aconstumbrado a recibir mucho amor y se que con ella no le faltó. 100% recomendada.

FAQs for House Sitting - Florida City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Florida City on Rover is $33.3 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 1,501 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Florida 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 Florida 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 Florida 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 Florida 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.

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.
