“Rosemary spent 6 days taking care of the house and animals. She was very responsive, sent oodles of photos, and was very professional in all our communications. We will definitely ask her to come again. It's such a relief to know you can trust somebody to come to the house rather than stressing the dogs out with time in a loud pet hotel.”
“Melinda may be the best pet-sitter we have known. She is thoughtful, thorough, and caring -- and a prompt communicator. Melinda came to our home for overnight stays for our two medium-sized, often-enthusiastic mixed-breed dogs, and provided the peaceful environment that they needed. We were welcomed home by two happy pups and a home in pristine condition. We highly recommend Melinda!”
“Sofia watched my two dogs for almost a week, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. She sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the week, took them on walks, gave them plenty of snuggles, and treated them like they were her own. It was so comforting knowing they were well cared for while I was away. Sofia is trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring, and I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as if they were her own, I highly recommend Sofia!”
“Sierra took great care of my 15 year old dog for a long weekend. She was responsive, flexible and patient with my senior dog habits. I returned home to a relaxed and happy dog. Highly recommend her. Thanks!”
About: Hi! My name is Isabella; I go by Izzy and I've been a reliable pet sitter for the past 5 years. During college, I was an in-house pet sitter for a 2-year-old Maltese and also regularly in-house sat for a lab mix and Husky. I would also occasionally watch my friends' dogs during long holiday weekends here and there. When completing my Master's I offered drop-in visits to residents in my apartment complex and gained plenty of experience walking different breeds of all sizes and ages. I understand that every pet has an established routine and unique needs, so I like to build trust with the pets I sit and value creating a meaningful bond by learning each pet's personalities, habits, and preferences. I work full time in-person in Washington, D.C., Monday-Wednesday and remotely from Herndon, VA Thursdays and Fridays. My schedule allows me to flexibly work around the DMV, with greater daytime flexibility on my remote workdays and availability before or after work when I am in the office for D.C. residents. I can work remote from anywhere which is helpful for pet parents wanting a sitter starting on Wednesday evenings to Sunday if traveling over a weekend. I value open communication and like to provide as many updates as possible/as frequently as owners would like through photos or just casual check-in texts. I believe honesty is the best policy and bring up any concerns immediately to the owners. I always ask about emergency contacts/emergency vet locations in case it is ever needed. Building trust with owners is just as important as building a strong bond with your furry friend, so I like to get to know owners before sitting and talk about our communication styles.
“Leore was fantastic! She was very communicative throughout the stay, handled Sadie’s shenanigans like a pro, and was incredibly accommodating with a last-minute schedule change and Mosley’s new medication. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pups in her care, and I’ll happily book with her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 7–10 years, looking after the animals and homes of friends, family, and neighbors who know they can rely on me. I believe every pet has different needs, so I take the time to get to know them, follow their routines, and give them the attention they’re comfortable with. I’ll send daily pictures and updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel at ease while you’re away. If there’s something specific you’d like me to do, I’ll make sure it gets done, and if I’m ever unsure about something, I’ll ask. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and in good hands. I work early mornings at Starbucks, so I’m used to getting up early and planning my day around a schedule. When it comes to caring for your pet, I want to understand their specific needs and routine rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’ll do my best to accommodate their schedule and make sure they get the care they need. I believe it’s important to communicate with you, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe pets feel most comfortable when their routines and surroundings stay familiar, so I’m happy to care for them in their own home. I treat every home with respect and make sure to follow the owner’s instructions, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, medications, or specific safety precautions. I take the time to understand what each pet needs, respect their boundaries, and ask questions whenever I’m unsure about something. I want you to feel comfortable trusting me with your pet and your home, knowing that I’ll treat both with care and respect while you’re away.
“Super responsive and communicative. Very flexible and understanding of my anxious pup. Left house spotless. Provided daily updates and photos. Will absolutely book again.”
“Amalia took excellent care of our reactive dog, showing calmness and skill in getting him to come with her. She also took excellent care of our house. We wholly recommend her and welcome her again. Thank you Amalia!!”
“Keila is so sweet and wonderful with animals!!! It was so great to receive updates and pictures/ videos of my cat while I was away!! Amazing experience + highly recommend!! :D”
“Brooke is an outstanding caretaker of our dog, Zoey. Brooke is extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors and is absolutely fantastic with our fear-based reactive dog. She gives us daily updates with photos, giving us peace of mind that our dog is so well cared for. Based upon her feedback, we see and know that Zoey is secure and happy under the care of Brooke. We recommend her highly!”
“Amani was incredible with our dog and we're so lucky to have found her! She has great ongoing communication about our high anxiety pup and was incredibly flexible when our return from our trip was delayed. We felt like our dog was in great hands!”
About: I’ve been around dogs nearly my entire life. My house hold has always had at least 2-3 dogs at a time. I know what to do and how to care. Plus my genuine love for animals. Let's work out the best schedule for you, me and your pup! I am currently out of work so I am home full time to hang out with your fur baby! I live in a pet friendly complex that has a lot of open area for fun lengthy walks and very safe as well as a small dog park. I do have 2 dogs of my own who love new friends :)
“Laila was incredible! My boys had the best time with her. They went on so many walks, had so much play time, and received an abundance of attention. Both of them pull quite a bit on their walks, and she got them to relax and enjoy the scenery! Not only that, she managed to tire my super energetic 6 y/o out (which is basically impossible) Laila sent a bunch of pictures & videos & remained extremely responsive the entire time. If I could leave her more than 5 stars, I would!”
About: I’ve had a heart for animals since I was a kid, and that love has only grown! From finned friends like fish to turtles, lizards, bunnies, horses, and dogs, I've cared for them all! Currently my primary focus at home is my senior dog, my five year old husky, and the horses at my local farm that I volunteer with weekly. I promise to look after your pets as if they were my own. I'm currently working full time in office. I am available before 8am and after 4pm MON - FRI and during the weekends to care for your pets. Additionally, depending on your location and needs, I can be available mid day for a drop in, walk, etc. if needed during the week. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency when caring for pets. I focus on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace, using positive reinforcement, and respecting boundaries.
“Katherine is extremely responsive and reliable. She also clearly loves animals and really hit things off with both my dog and my cat. She even took the dog on the extra-long walks he adores! Having Katherine take care of my animals makes me feel much more comfortable traveling!”

We have had Kristen dog/house sit for us a few times and she is absolutely fantastic! I can’t recommend her enough. Communicates well about how our dog is and she is reliable (this one is huge!), and just does a great job taking care of our house (brings in mail, packages and even took out our trash- we asked but knowing you can count on your sitter means everything!). Look no further for the best pet sitter, thank you, Kristen!
Antonia has taken care of our 6 pets twice, and I won't book my next vacation unless she is available!! She really cares about getting to know each animal so she can do the most effective job of taking care of them. I really appreciate her attention to detail and all the clean up she does! All of my pets like her and she is so sweet to send me pictures each day I am away! It's such a comfort knowing she is in charge when I am away.
Leah was fantastic! She showed up right on time and kept in touch throughout the day, sending lots of photos of Charlie so we always knew how she was doing. Leah also took Charlie on several walks, which she clearly loved. She looked after our cat, Maverick, too, and both pets were happy and well cared for. Beyond being reliable and attentive, Leah has such a sweet, positive energy, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We liked her so much that we've booked her again for an extended stay while we travel overseas. We'd recommend Leah to any pet owner!
Clair was wonderful with Guinness and Gus! She took such good care of my boys while I was away at a conference, and I really appreciated the photos and updates. Leaving them is never easy, so having someone kind and caring with them at home meant a great deal to me. We’d love to have her back!
Habiba was great! Very friendly and took good care of my sweet boy while I was away for a long weekend. She gave him all the cuddles he wanted and kept me updated every day with pictures. She also cleaned up after herself, ran the dishwasher and took out the trash. I will definitely book with her again.
Amelia is absolutely awesome and so easy to work with. She really just gets it, and I never have to worry when my dog is in her care. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is with someone I completely trust. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and wonderful dog sitter.

The average cost of House Sitting in Floris is $63 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $90 per night.

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 Floris 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 Floris 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 Floris 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 Floris. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
