Rebecca is a wonderful pet sitter! She provided the best care to our fur babies. They can be a little skittish with strangers but she won them over quickly. I was so happy to see the photos of happy and calm pups! It helped us enjoy our time away.

We were very grateful to have Jennifer's help with our three pets while out of town (an adult dog, a puppy, and a cat). We appreciated her enthusiasm to be there for our pets, be a presence for our home while we were gone, and it gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was very communicative and respectful of our home, and she took good care of our animals. Thank you, Jennifer!

About: I am well versed on various training, dog sitting, boarding and walking methods for our canine family members. Gained hands on experience of training and handling with my 11 year old GSD. I personally researched for years and only then successfully trained my current 10 month old GSD, using my other 11 year old GSD as a control. I will offer free consults to clients in need of repeat services in order to determine the tailored needs for your dog. Always willing to go above and beyond for my love of dogs. Excel with all dogs and utilize communication with the client in order to fully understand the specific qualities, needs and wants of the dog in order to organize and manage effective walks/boarding/training. I have been living in the area for over 20 years and know all of the dog-friendly parks or areas that provide a clean and safe environment offering an array of enrichment. Knowledgeable in training and recognizing animal body language used to establish positive communication with the dogs. I can not only improve the lives of the dog, but also clearly communicate and empower the owner with training tips to continue effective conditioning for a well-trained dog. My remote position of over 5 years as a Sr Mortgage Underwriter was recently moved into the office (Tampa) and decided to take time off. Therefore, I am available 24/7 and mainly focusing on the transition into the Dog Walking/Boarding/Training business. *HOUSE SITTING SERVICE: Active as a less expensive alternative to booking numerous Drop-In visits with multiple dogs. Unable to stay overnight. I am available from 7:00am - 11:00pm daily. I offer extended drop-in visits—perfect for your vacation or pups who need more time, attention, or multiple visits throughout the day lasting hours. I’m also happy to help with light home care like bringing in mail, trash or watering plants while you’re away. Whether it’s early mornings, late evenings, or longer stays, I’m flexible and here to help make your life easier and your pets happy! Please request and send a message with your specific request and we can work on accommodating the needs of you and your family pets. My goal is to accommodate the service that is least intrusive to your dog and will attempt to maintain the same schedule/activities as normal, including walks, playtime, feeding, and entertainment that is designed to replicate their current situation. *HOUSE SITTING SERVICE: Active as a less expensive alternative to booking numerous Drop-In visits with multiple dogs.

About: I have 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own dog as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I have cared for dogs of different ages, from energetic puppies to elderly dogs with medical needs, and I am very open and comfortable providing extra attention and following specific care instructions when needed. My experience includes caring for a variety of breeds and sizes, including Great Danes, Yorkies, Dachshunds, and Border Collies. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and level of care, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and will treat every pet with patience, affection, and the same care I would want for my own. I currently work in an office Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. I am available for pet care after work during the evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I can be flexible when arranging care in advance. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine, so I do my best to follow each owner’s schedule and instructions closely. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special medical or behavioral needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: My love for animals started when i was a little girl. I grew up on a farm that had multiple dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it. I am open to any kind of dogs or cats, no matter the age or size. I am willing to work around my schedule to accommodate you in any way possible. My care for pets grows more and more each day. I can understand how hard it can be to find someone you can rely on to tend to your pets needs and wants. Not only are they pets, they’re also considered family. Their needs will be tended to if i’m given the opportunity to do so.

Nicole did a great job watching our crew while we were out of town for two days. Because we have an elderly dog, we booked her for overnight care. We got pictures once a day and our furry crew was happy and well cared for during our trip. We appreciated the flexibility that Nicole offered, since we didn't know exact times we would be leaving or arriving back to the house. While we left later than expected and came back earlier than planned - we liked that Nicole kept communication open and made sure all was well with our crew and our home.

About: Hello! My name is Brooke. I am an avid dog lover! I offer dog sitting, dog daycare, and walks. Professionally, I have worked at several dog daycares as a handler. My daily duties were to supervise around 20 dogs at one time, feed, and administer meds. I am equipped with the knowledge of dog body language and dog safety. Personally, I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, being the primary caregiver. I have even fostered some exotic animals such as bearded dragons and ferrets. I am passionate about the care of all animals! I am working full time, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to care for your pet. On my off time, I would love to provide care and comfort for your fur baby as you take the time to do what you need to do with peace of mind. I want to provide a calm and safe environment for your pet. Bring their favorite toys, blankets, bed over and my home will become theirs for a few hours!

Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!

About: While I may not have years of experience like some, my love for animals does not fall short. I have taken care of dogs, big and small. Some with dietary restrictions and rigid feeding routines and others with a more lax regimen. I have house sat/pet sat and stayed in the owner’s home on multiple occasions. I’ve taken care of four dogs of various sizes at once, done drop-ins to feed/change water and let the puppers out for friends and family members, and I’ve also stopped by to do something as simple as a quick walk. Whatever you need, I can do it! I can assure you that I will treat your pet as my own. I currently work full time at a law firm in downtown but I live in Sanford. I have a reliable car and I don’t mind driving. I can pet sit/house sit on weekdays but I have work so it would be morning care and evening/night. I can also take a midday break if needed. I am off on the weekends so I will be able to be there full time. Depending on the owner, I have put pets into their crates when leaving the house or at night for sleeping but I have also let them roam freely, if the owner allows it.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Florida

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Florida on Rover is $61.05 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 2,714 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Florida. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
