“Brittany is an amazing dog sitter!! She’s so sweet and put my mind at ease right away. Brittany loves animals, she took great care of my pup and my house. She also took pics and videos so I could see what my baby was up to. Don’t hesitate, you can trust her with your fur baby! My vaca was stress free knowing my dog was in great hands with Brittany.”
“Hailey is fantastic. Excellent communication throughout the days we were gone with photos/videos throughout the day which I really appreciate. My puppies were extremely calm when we got home so i know they had a great experience as well. House was in better shape then when we left! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10; anywhere from pet sitting to having pets of my own. I kept cats well brushed, watered, and their litter boxes/area clean and dogs well cared for by going for walks, playtime, nap time, brushing teeth, and bathing. I currently work a flexible job from home so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I am typically available everyday except I am away for several hours on Sundays. I may be able to board/home sit/ walk your pet on Sundays, they would just be alone for several hours until I get home. I have two indoor cats who are happy as long as they have a clean litter box and bathroom/food area, water to drink out of a faucet, brushed clean fur, and a quiet place to sleep. Heath will most likely play with your kitty once he gets more comfortable and Lucky will most likely ignore your cat. I also have a 2 year old goldendoodle who loves to meet new people and dogs. When I am not entertaining your dog, Winston sure will be if they want him to. If your dog is uninterested, Winston knows to leave him/her be.

In the evenings, I can stay at your home to give your pets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I am also saving for PTA school, which I plan to start in January. Once school begins, my work schedule is expected to become much more flexible, allowing me to dedicate even more time to caring for your furry family members. I will always communicate clearly to make sure your pet’s needs and schedule are a good fit! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. When caring for your pets in your home, I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve.

“Katie was great with Angel! Katie and Angel quickly became friends which we were happy to see since Angel does not normally warm up to new people. Katie was also very prompt and polite. We would definitely recommend her!”

About: I've been caring for animals of all sizes for most of my adult life. I spent several years caring for animals professionally at a pet boarding facility in Sanford. I also learned a lot about animal care while working as a receptionist in a veterinary clinic. I currently work a free lance job that takes me all over. Please let me know what your regular schedule is like so we can make a good plan for your pets care while you are away. It is important to me that your pet sticks to their regular routine while you are away. I always schedule a meeting before booking to take detail notes on your pets daily routine.
About: I've been taking care of little fur babies for about 10 years now (not including my best friend I grew up with!). I am patient, kind, attentive and will welcome your little one with open arms! Creating special bonds with little fur friends is one of my passions. I was born and raised in Florida but have lived in California the past 7 years. Took a little break from Rover and moved back to Florida this year! I work from home 5 days out of the week with the ability to create my schedule around your pups! Excited to meet all new faces & friends🤗 I care for every pet as if they were my own, following their individual routines and needs. During drop-ins, walks, or home stays I provide safe exercise, fresh food and water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention!
“We had an amazing experience with Alexandra! She took such great care of Dexter while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions, and treated him like he was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a spotless house. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and reliable to care for their pets!”
“We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this service. Our sitter was professional, communicative, and took outstanding care of our dogs while we were away. We received updates throughout our trip, and it was obvious our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. As an added bonus, our home was left clean and organized when we returned, which was greatly appreciated. It’s not easy leaving your pets behind, but this experience gave us complete peace of mind. We would gladly use this service again and look forward to booking in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember! Growing up with dogs, cats, and birds, I have always loved animals and looking after them! I have taken care of my family/friends fur babies for years now and used to work at petco (5years) and would dog/cat sit for some of the regular clients that I got to know throughout my time there. I’m energetic and love being outside and love spending time playing with animals! My schedule is very flexible and open, I can be available any day of the week and most times as long as I don’t have another commitment. I make sure the animals are well fed and hydrated. I stay aware of my surroundings when on walks or inside, making sure I’m keeping an eye out for other animals nearby or that the door is properly secured..etc I pay attention to the animals body language as well to make sure if I’m playing with them or interacting in anyway, that they seem comfortable and open to that interaction.
About: Hello! New here!!! I belong to the local pet shelter and I do the dog a day program where I go and pick them up and spend the whole day with them kind of help get them adopted if needed and return them at the time stated. On that note! I am looking for work and I love animals so I thought how perfect! The small family I have here and I have 20 dogs and cats combined. Very careful loving person looking to help out when needed. I love to walk so even better! Very responsible and follow instructions as asked. I will treat your fur baby just as I would like mine treated. Short notice is usually okay as well. I do this for friends as well when needed. Thank you for looking and good luck!! Again Thank you.

About: I have 10 years of experience when it comes to caring for animals and it has always been something I'm truly passionate about. I treat every pet with the same love, care, and attention I would give my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. I'm committed to providing dependable care, keeping your pet's routine consistent, and sending regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and older pets who may require a gentler approach. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet, ensuring they feel loved, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule right now. I recently finished my summer job as a camp counselor, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I love being able to help pet owners feel at ease while they're away. Whether it's a quick check-in, longterm stay, or spending extra time keeping your pet company, I'm happy to work with your schedule and your pet's individual needs! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in a familiar environment with their normal routines. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure to follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. My priority is creating a calm and positive experience for your pet while you’re away. I also value communication and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Florida
We couldn't be more grateful to Rebecca for all the care, kindness, and thoughtfulness she showed while taking care of our Brittany-doodle, Sir Quigley, and our home. Our pup is not a traveler so knowing he could stay home while we had to be away for 4 days and be well taken care of was a huge relief for us. Rebecca went above and beyond in ways that made our time away and homecoming easier. A five-star rating isn't high enough.
Kelly is so great with all of my animals. She takes wonderful care of them and always goes above and beyond to make sure I’m able to relax while I’m away from my babies. 🙂 She is proactive about confirming bookings and special instructions, sends me lots of pictures, and even washed my pets’ dishes this past time! I truly don’t have to worry about anything when she’s on duty. We’ve had Kelly sit for us for a couple of years now. Two of our three pups have passed away over the years, so she is especially meaningful to us because she has that long-term knowledge, care, and reliability. Thank you so much, Kelly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fort Florida is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $61 and $61 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,732 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Florida. 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 Fort Florida 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 Fort Florida 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 Fort Florida 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
