About: i’ve taken care of all different types of animals and rescued more then i can count i love animals so much so that’s part of the reason i’m here also to pay with school i can take care of animals all day i do school from home so that’s another reason why i wanted to try this app i feel like i’d be a very good fit i have a fenced in yard and a open home i’m often in my room doing school and when im not i’m always taking care of my plants so the animals will most likely just be chilling sleeping in my room and then go outside with me in the fenced back yard
“Jayla took such great care of our Finley! We received texts and pictures of him while she was watching him and we appreciated that so much! Highly recommend her and will be hiring her again soon!”
“I have a large working line GSD and a blue and gold macaw. Margot was responsive and was able to help me out with short notice. I have a senior dog so there are a lot of supplements and meds to keep up with and everything was just as I left it when I returned. She did an excellent job! I can tell by my dog's behavior when I return if I have a good sitter as he definitely shows stress. It was like I went to work and came home. No anxiety or stress for my pup! Thanks Margo!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful. My cat flapjack loved her. Took good care of him. Came home to a spotless house and a very happy kitty. Will be booking her again in the future!”
“Angela and Brian took care of Kirby while our family was on a six day vacation. They sent many photos and they were always quick to respond to any questions or new requests that we had. They were very respectful to our home.”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to dog, cat, and house sit for several families, many of whom have trusted me to care for their pets multiple times. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to help with everything from feeding and letting pets out during the day to playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company in the evenings. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I work part-time Tuesday through Thursday, typically during the day and finishing by late afternoon. I’m off Friday and Saturday, as well as most of Sunday. On Mondays, I work from 6–9 PM but am available during the day. I’m also a graduate student, which means I spend a good amount of time at home working on schoolwork. This gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pets throughout the day—whether that’s going for a walk, playing, feeding them, letting them out, or simply keeping them company and giving them lots of love and attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need while you’re away I love spending time with the pets and making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll spend quality time with them, play with them, take them on walks when appropriate, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also understand how important your pet’s routine is. I’ll do my best to follow their normal schedule and routines in your home so they can feel comfortable and secure. Whether they need playtime, a walk, some extra cuddles, or simply someone nearby, I want them to feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away
“Bunny house sits for us almost every month. She takes great care of our two cats and our dog. Bob. When we arrive home everyone is relaxed and tired out. The house is well taken care of. She’s great!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have watched other family and friends dogs and cats. I love caring for animals of all kinds. I currently work part time as an esthetician and have off Saturday to Monday, sometimes I’ll have off additional days during the week depending on my schedule and don’t currently work long hours so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I care for pets in my clients home as if they were my own. I follow owners requests and pet’s schedules such as potty breaks, feeding times, any medications, or exercise. At my home, I have a fenced in backyard with no pool and no children.
About: I am a former manager of a Doggy Daycare in the greater DC Metropolitan area, Pet and Home Care. This daycare was an outdoor yard which contained up to 40 dogs at a time, of all breeds, sizes, and different behaviors. As an involved worker, I gained extensive experience, and learned how to enforce training, administer medications, work with aggressive/difficult breeds, and handle all animal care needs with ease. Through this company, I also did overnight pet visits in the clients home, in-home walks, visits, & feedings, and special requests. I've cared for dogs, cats, exotic animals, farm animals, and more. I am a former nanny, and former cat-owner myself, and have devoted my entire life to caring for animals and people. I consider myself a fun-loving, empathetic, energetic human who is ready to take on any challenges. Thanks for giving this a read, let me know if you have any other questions for me! I am a seasonal gig worker, so when I am home, I stay home! I will not leave your pet alone for more than 4 hours at a time (at most), and pride myself on being active and fun. I love to go on walks, have plenty of space in my yard to run around (on a leash of course), and live near dog parks if you're comfortable with that. You let me know what your dog needs schedule wise, and I will work with it! I have an large non-fenced, open yard. I don't have a lot of neighbors near the property, nor other animals, and I've always walked dogs (and sometimes cats!) on a leash around my property for a short time. Across the street is a proper neighborhood with sidewalks and suburbs where I will take dogs on any walk longer than 15 minutes. I have a one bedroom house, ground level, with no other pets, roommates, or unexpected visitors. I am a big cuddler, and want the pets to feel calm and at home when they are with me.
About: I've been animal sitting since I was very young, have never had a home without a pet, have raised, trained, sat, and taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have been relied on for years by friends, family, neighbors, local community members, colleagues, and even friends of friends to care for and watch over their fur babies. I have even been flown out of state to watch over pets of a employer because of how much trust they had in me. I sent frequent photos and updates so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing! I currently work as a Door Dash delivery driver so I choose my hours and will not take any orders if I have a pet in my care, I can stay home and put all my focus on taking care of your pet 24/7! I have a large bathroom and crate if you prefer your dog in a more controlled environment, I have a large side yard and plenty of nearby dog parks and a very safe sidewalk for longer walks and running and playing.
About: Hi! My name is Starla, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have four dogs of my own and have grown up caring for many different types of animals. My love for pets is what inspired me to start dog walking and pet sitting. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I am dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am responsible, trustworthy, patient, and passionate about animal care, and I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I look forward to giving your pet the attention, care, and affection they deserve I love all my animals, they are my life. Everything I do revolves around them, so I’m very sure your dog is safe with me! I have a fenced yard in plenty of furry babies. Your dog can play with. I love each animal that comes my way, and respect your animal boundaries by caring for them.

About: I worked as a dog groomer at Petco, so I’ve handled everything from energetic pups to shy or nervous dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them lots of attention so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. With my part-time schedule, I’ve got lots of time for walks, playtime, and care. I’m available most weekdays outside of 2–5 PM and have open availability on weekends. When I’m in your home, I treat it and your pets with a lot of respect. I stick to your dog’s normal routine as much as possible—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or potty breaks. I always keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure they feel relaxed and not alone, just like you never left.
About: I have been around dogs my entire live and the past 5 or more years I've been taking care of medium sized dogs while staying at the owners house. I have plenty of experience with walking and treating a dog and also giving baths. I would love to take care and play with your animal. I am currently a student at UNF and I don't have time to work a full-time or even a part time real job because of my class schedule. So that is why I wanted to get into dog walking or animal sitting because it is easier for me to work around my class schedule. I currently live in a apartment that is strict about animals so I won't be able to house at my place but I am more than happy to watch at your place or take them somewhere to walk.
“Aaliyah was absolutely fabulous with my 3 month old puppy. She stayed the entire time during my house sit and sent lots of update pictures to ease my nerves of leaving him for the first time. I strongly recommend Aaliyah and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Danielle is just great! Reliable, dependable and so good with our big Lab. Lilly just loves Danielle which makes it easier when we leave, knowing that she is in such capable hands. Thank you so much!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Florida Ridge
Jayla, we are so grateful we found you to care for our dogs on our trip away. You took not only such good care of them but also of our home. When we returned the house was neat and clean and the dogs were literally glowing. We are so happy we have found you and look forward to having you house and dog sit for us again. We feel you became not only a friend to our pups but to us as well. Please reach out for anything! Thank you again so much!
Margo was fantastic at taking care of my two senior dogs, 7 lb morkie and 7 lb chihuahua. She arrived on time, found my garage door was open, closed it, sent me photos and walked them, fed them and spent quality time with them. Very responsible and a joy to have. Note, my morkie is feisty on walks and barks at everyone. We did a test walk and she handled him beautifully. Thank you Margo!
This was our second booking with Reva, and all the furry ones were spoiled and happy. Reva communicated with me during both booking and always sends plenty of pictures (so I can see the shenanigans the dog and cats try to pull). I definitely recommend Reva to care for your pets
Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She stayed overnight for 4 days at my home to care for my two dogs, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they weren’t alone. That meant everything to me. She was incredibly responsive, always on time, and kept me updated, which made the whole experience stress free. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got back. I would 100 percent recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. She’s a great choice!
We are so pleased Nadtali He did an excellent job watching our picky little maltese named Pookie. He was very attentive and she liked him a lot. He played with her and adhered to all our instructions. I would highly recommend him and look forward to hiring him again in the near future,

FAQs for House Sitting - Florida Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Florida Ridge on Rover is $44.4 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 539 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Florida Ridge. 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
