“I cannot say enough good things. Aichav is amazing. She took such great care of my dogs and house. They were looking for her this morning. Absolutely highly recommend and will be using her going forward”
“First time ever booking with Rover or having my dog cared for while I was away. She is a handful!!! But I came back and Dustin had already gotten her used to the "Gentle Leader" leash......where did my crazy dog go that pulled my arms off???!!! She was transformed. Just enough discipline balanced with lots of love. I was super relieved to leave her in his care- he is excellent. (although I dont want too many people to book him so that he has no time for me again....)”
“We were nervous leaving our baby with someone, which is likely a common theme. Melinda was very sweet to Penelope and took her on walks even though we told her she didn’t have to. Plenty of pictures were received to put us at ease, and she was very communicative. I would recommend Melinda to anyone!”
“Niiyah is amazing. She is so communicative, kind, caring, and reliable. One of my cats likes to eat strings, and even when they're kept away from him, things happen and he gets access to them - like blinds breaking and falling down (suspected to be from my other cat knocking them down). Niiyah told me right away when one of the blinds broke and when there was a possibility that Ellie ate part of it, and was so kind and willing to take him to the emergency vet when we were worried about him. Even with my cats needing twice daily medications, to be fed 3 times a day, the ER visit, and facilitating house tours by making sure the cats were secured in a pop-up tent (we were moving out soon and our landlady wanted to give tours while we were away), she still offered to watch Peach and Ellie again. If we hadn't just moved 3 hours away, we would request to book her services again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for everything, Niiyah!”
“The first thing I liked about booking with Jessie was that she offered to come over to meet my pets to see if it would be a good fit. She was very communicative with me during her stay and I felt like my pets were well taken care of and had their normal routine.”
“Janessa & John were amazing and I had no concerns about leaving my Littles (2) in their good hands. I would definitely recommend their services and will have them back again.”
“Noel did a great job taking care of Daphne making my trip possible. Very good with communicating and pictures. Kept her busy with games and walks. Hoping she will be available for future stays!”
“Keishla is such a sweetheart! I booked with her for housesitting and taking care of my dogs. She was VERY good with both my dogs. One is a 12 year old maltipoo, and the other is a 2 year old working line German shepherd. She walked them, fed them according to their schedules, played with them and spoke to them, gave them cuddles. She was very gentle, but knew how to be firm with commands as needed (my German shepherd needs a firmer command). She also watered the plants, and cleaned after herself and the doggies before she left. She kept me updated daily with detail and photos. 10/10 recommend her!”
“I reached out to Pedro as our dog has some leash aggression issues and needs an experienced hand on his walks. Our dog immediately warmed up to Pedro and left us comfortable going away on a vacation. Pedro was great with our dog and sent updates with each walk as well as some great photos of our dog. We get pretty nervous when leaving our dog as he takes some work but Pedro made us feel comfortable the whole time that our boy was being properly taken care of. 10/10 will use again, and so should you!”
“Jazmin was great! She kept our house clean, followed all instructions, and even helped give our dog eye drops when it wasn’t in the initial instructions. Our animals were very happy with her! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos of our babies!”
About: I have had pet care experience since the age of 10. I have helped family and friends take care of animals. I have assisted with walking, playing , feeding, loving , etc. I have a strong passion for animals as I own many animals of my own! I currently have 5 cats, and huskey and a tortoise! On my free time I foster with the elk grove animal shelter and help kittens find their forever home. My passion is animals and I love meeting new furry friends everywhere i go. I treat those babies how I would want mine to be treated. I have alot of experience with seniors animals and giving medication as well. I current work full time Monday-Friday. I am available after 5 pm during the weekdays and am usually available on the weekends as needed! I am flexible and able To work around what’s needed I pride myself in taking the most top tier care of all animals. This goes for my own and those I care for. Giving excellent care goes a long way and it shows in our animals. My personal animals are on routines that we stick to. I like to play with them and provide enrichment. I also like to take my animals on walks to have them
“Ava stayed in our house to care for our elderly diabetic cat while my husband and I were out of town. She administered 2 injections and 2 pills per day, in addition to his regular care and feeding. She also played with him, brushed him, and gave us daily updates on how he was doing. It was wonderful to know our little guy was in good hands! We got home yesterday to a relaxed, well-cared for cat! I recommend Ava without hesitation, and I will definitely hire her again in the future when the need arises.”
“Bari was a 10/10 dog and house sitter! She provided us with frequent updates while we were gone and made sure to keep our Golden Retriever busy & active. She even took him on a playdate where he was able to meet some new friends! We returned to a spotless home and it felt nice knowing she took great care of everything while we were gone. I would highly recommend Bari and we can’t wait to reach out for her help again soon!!”
“Kirsten did a great job of accommodating our needs and dogs schedules. I only had a couple of days to arrange dog and house sitting before going to Utah for a service. The dogs were comfortable and not like boarding. Definitely will use her again.”
“Claudia was great with Willow! She’s patient with Willow’s very excited greeting, but does a good job at calming her right down. She spends time with her both in the house and in the backyard. She is prompt and reliable.”
“We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.”
About: It is important to me that our furry family members are taken care of and receive the care they deserve. I am extremely detail-oriented and strive to make sure I care for your family just as well as you do. I currently work a consistent part-time schedule along with attending online college so there should be little to no time conflicts. I keep a planner so I have a clear idea of what my schedule looks like. I have experience with giving medication to pets of different temperaments along with handling cases of food aggression. I ask owners to provide detailed lists of what is needed as well as actions I could take in case things go awry. I usually make the effort to contact owners with updates on pets and with questions when necessary.
About: All of my life I've grown up with animals. (Dogs, specifically.) Before I went off to college my cousin, whom I'd been living with at the time, adopted a german shepherd. This german shepherd, Bauer, became like my own. I watched him go from tiny little puppy, to this massive energetic and sweet protector. I am experienced in most areas surrounding pet ownership and responsibilities. I am very nurturing and energetic, making me just the person to take care of your cherished. I follow instruction well, and I'm also experienced in cat care as well. Just a few years ago I adopted two kittens, Panther and Jaguar, who both grew up very quickly. Unfortunately, I had to move a few momths ago and could not accommodate for them both. I, then, made the decision to leave them in the good hands of my neighbor at the time. Lastly, I am a Sociology student at Santa Rosa Junior College with an interest in basic needs, equity, and how pets play a vital role in overall health. I'm currently working on research involving these topics! I work from home and I have a 2 year old. With that being said, I’m up early and my schedule is pretty flexible given my toddler keeps me on my toes! My apartment building is indoor so no worries necessarily about your fur baby if they’re escape artists. I don’t have a balcony or yard so we’ll just get that leash on and go explore!

Laura has been the most flexible, understanding, and easiest sitter - my boys love when she stops by. She texts and sends photos, which brings peace of mind at work. I haven’t found the right person to help ever since I moved back to Sacramento, so I’m lucky she and I connected. Trust me y’all, shes the one! Thank you Laura ✨
Julia recently cared for our 16 year old cat, Leaux, over night/s in our home. She did a fantastic job with him, following his frequent meal plan and giving him lots of cuddles. She also took extra care to calm him during the night when he cried out (several times) as he has a little older kitty dementia. She also took extra good care of our home. She sent me pictures and kept excellent communication along the way. It’s been a day since I’ve gotten home and he still keeps going into the guest room to see if she’s still there. He misses her. Don’t hesitate to book Julia for your pet.
This was Haile's first overnight stay with Bob and we are so happy we found her. She sends regular pictures and updates and lets us know when she arrives and leaves. Bob is obviously very happy to snuggle with her on the couch, and she's familiar with his medicines, including giving him an inhaler. We are looking forward to future stays with Haile!
I came home to my pets and household in excellent shape after a week away. My elderly Swissie is no easy chore, with many needs and health concerns, and Nhi handled everything perfectly. I'm grateful for her attention to detail and concern for the animals and my home. I look forward to booking her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Florin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Florin on Rover is $48.84 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 2,768 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Florin. 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 Florin 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 Florin 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 Florin 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
