“Bailey was amazing with our dog, Murphy! He stayed with him for 4 nights and sent daily pictures and updates. We arrived home and the house was cleaner than we left it! Highly recommend!”
“Debra always takes great care of our 2 Maltese senior dogs. They love her and we feel they are in good hands with her. Beau needs medication and gives it on time to him. As well as baths to both. She stays at our house and it is clean and neat when she leaves. Would recommend her.”
“Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!”

“Hailey is the best. My dogs have a great time with her. She takes great care of them. I highly reccomend her if you need someone to stay overnight with your pups.”
“Jacqueline stayed overnight with my two cats. From our first contact she was so prompt answering messages. I’ve had other sitters and she is one of the few who actually showed up on time and was there when she said she would be. I returned to find my house in tiptop shape. I highly recommend her. She’s a real sweetheart!”
“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”
“Eni far exceeded my expectations. She is extremely professional and not only loves dogs she knows how to handle them well and adjusts accordingly. She left my house tidy and clean and my doggos very happy, and well cared for. I will be using her services regularly.”
“Kara saved the day for us. We had a family member set to watch our pets and they fell ill. Very last minute, she was able to swoop in and take on my crew. She did a wonderful job with them! Everything was as it was when we left, if not better! The dogs were well loved and so were our guinea pigs. I’ve had sitters in the past that leave the dogs in their crates for long hours and she never did that. She even stayed later to be sure they didn’t have to be alone long. We already have her booked to use her again in October, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you Kara!”
About: I was considered the neighborhood dog walker and dog sitter. I absolutely love taking care of all animals big and small. I also have experience with puppies, I can guarantee that you won't find a better person to take care of your animals. I can also distribute meds and do basic first aid. I am also available to take your fur babies to the vet if needed. I'm available in the morning anytime after 5am and all through the day up until 8pm. I can also be on call for you if you need me for anything. I can come to you to walk your pups or pick them up to take them to a park or where ever you want to me to go.
About: I have two dogs of my own, Francesco, my sweet 11 yr old, and Zhukey, my energetic four yr old, and they’ve taught me everything about what dogs really need at every stage of life. I have an especially tender place in my heart for older dogs, the slower walks, the extra cuddles, the little quirks that make them so special. Every pet I care for gets the same love I give my own. 🐶 I am happy to work with most routines and arrangements. Whether you need something regular or just occasional help, I’ll do my best to make it work for you and your furry family. I come to you, which I think is the sweetest gift you can give your pet while you’re away. They get to stay right where they feel most at home, in their own space, on their own walks, with all their favorite things around them. I’ll follow their routines with love and care, and treat your home with the utmost respect. You’ll be able to relax knowing your baby is cozy, loved and right where they belong.
About: 1 client at a time. About me: I am neurodivergent. I'm the type of person that tries to keep in touch with their inner child. I may or may not be a yoga space-case but I am home practically 24/7, at the moment, and have 24+ years of experience raising animal companions (and loved it). Please feel free to ask any questions. I have flexible availability and can spend genuine time with your pet. I pay close attention to the little things that make a big difference in a pets well-being and happiness. As a devoted pet sitter, I go beyond the basics. It's not a kennel here, your little being will have it's own little bedroom and it will have all the freedom and love it can take.
About: I have always had large dogs around me all my life. As soon as I turned 18 I found my first shelter dog - a Husky! I fell in love with the breed and homed and loved 5 huskies since. I watch my neighbors Australian Shepherds' and Samoyed for years when they go out of town at my home with my own dogs. My pet care experience comes with just a true love dogs and having them around all my life. I work for the school system so my hours are fair to help with your needs. I'm also available for weekends and most holidays. I will also have more time in the summer to play with your fur babies. I can accommodate much of your needs for you dog(s). Whether at my home with a large fenced in yard plus my 10 year old husky looking for playmates or in the comfort of your fur babies own home.
About: I spend my free time volunteering at a local dog rescue. I am a born & raised Midwesterner who is a true "Dog Mom." I am a retired teacher who has lived in SW Florida for five years now. I have embraced the Florida lifestyle even taking my dog out in a "doggy stroller!" I have been trusted to watch and care for friends' dogs and cats for days at a time or even weeks while they've gone on vacation. I love their pets like my own. I am picky about who watches my own dog, so I would like any pet owner to know that their little furball is in good hands while they're away. I am currently available during the day and in the early evening. I am also available on weekends. I'm willing to discuss any specific time needs with pet owners as well. I am a self-described "early bird" which allows me to walk dogs when the weather is cooler. My dogs have always had full run of the house except when I'm away and then they are put into a crate (mostly for their own protection so they're not eating or chewing on items they shouldn't!) or trying to jump on or off furniture. My dogs have always been treated extremely well. When I wake up early in the morning, my dog goes out first thing, gets a treat, then gets fed breakfast. We usually do a small walk. I take into account the age and wellness of the dog. I had an elderly dog who used to walk two miles every day, but then he slowed down a lot, so I adjusted his walk distances. I also adjust to the Florida heat! No walks during the hottest hours! I like to get out early and walk. Speaking of walking or playing - my favorite motto is: A tired dog is a happy dog!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, including senior dogs and puppies. I provide personalized attention to every dog, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I ensure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and care through scheduled walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits to accommodate each pet’s needs. I prioritize safety by following pet parents’ instructions, maintaining a secure environment, and ensuring dogs are always supervised. Whether in my home or theirs, I provide a clean, stress-free, and loving space where pets feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I have taken care of animals, big & small since I was a little girl. I have always been the first contact for friends and family that need someone to care for their animals while they’re away! I am available anytime - I am an early riser and late time caregiver. I understand schedules can be rough & I want to give peace of mind! My rescue dog is animal aggressive, so my baby cannot be around others. I would have to come to your home…Dog walking, playing in the yard, feeding, all the attention & snuggles are included!
About: I’ve been taking care of my family and friend’s pets since I was 13 years old. I’ve trained them to sit, stay, shake, etc even when they thought the animal was untrainable. Walks, baths/brushing, and feeding have always been a must for their pets. Cuddles are always provided. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to walk, play, or hang out with your fur babies. I’m available anytime most days. With me there is no need to worry about your dog being unattended outside or not having full attention of care inside your home. While also respecting your home and wishes.
About: I’ve had many pets growing up and have raised my own as well. I’ve cared for others pets for over 10 years as well and can stay with them 24/7 I currently can care for your pet 24/7 any day of the week. I recently moved back to Florida and have lots of free time since I haven’t found a job yet I can do at home visits or stays. I can follow any instructions for care or play as requested and can give them 24/7 attention
“Carol was wonderful. My Lilboy decided the day before my trip to hurt his back leg . She kept a watchful eye on him and kept him quiet. My pups really liked her. She sent pictures and updates.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Ogden
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Ogden on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 791 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Ogden. 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 Ogden 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 Ogden 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 Ogden 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.
