“Emily is the best! Our dogs love her and she always takes great care of them. She has dog sitted for us several times now and we know her to be super responsible and trustworthy.”
“Thankful for Lucia’s care of my senior pup while I was away! She was communicative with updates & photos each day, which I appreciated so much. My pup had some digestive upset during the time she was looking after him and she was very helpful & understanding in dealing with it. I came home to a content pup asleep on the couch and my home was well kept! Thank you again, Lucia. Wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again for care if needed!”
“Erin was absolutely wonderful watching our senior black lab at our house for three nights. She sent pictures and updates which made us feel more at ease on our getaway. Erin responds promptly & is very responsive. We would love & trust to have her watch Gracie again! 10/10 recommend Erin’s services.”
“Heather is so attentive and such a great sitter. She stayed in my home and gave my girls lots of love and attention. She was patient and caring and I knew they were in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Elizabeth did a fantastic job at watching and caring for both our dogs. She definitely went above and beyond in all areas. If we're ever back in the area again, we will definitely be looking her up for her pet sitting services. Thank you E!”
About: I’ve always been the person my friends and family call when they need someone to take care of their pets. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and am always trying to volunteer to take shelter pups out for the day. I understand that every pet is different, and I love giving them the time and attention they need to feel safe and happy. I’m always excited to meet new furry friends! I’m currently available every day of the week! I’m a college student at Northwest Florida, but I only have one in-person class on Mondays and Wednesdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m able to work pet care into my schedule easily and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and sitting! I also have base access as I am apart of the Air National Guard! I’ll be caring for your pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable. I’ll make sure to follow any routines and instructions you leave for me, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I know it can be stressful leaving your pets with someone new, so I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and keep you updated while you’re away!
“Charlie has always helped when I requested it. She is very responsive, and I come home to happy, healthy pets. I’m glad I found her - her caring for my animals gives me peace of mind while traveling!”
“Elisabeth was awesome- kind and seems to truly love being around animals and making sure they feel safe at home. We really appreciated her care for our two girls ☺️☺️”
“Jenna was amazing! We are going to use her again. 100% definitely going to use her again. She was responsive and sent us a ton of pictures. Asked questions and sent feedback on our pups. She was amazing.”
About: I love 🐕 🐶 . We foster a lot. It's nice to get all the unconditional love from our precious pets. Dogs are man's best friend I'm a stay at home mom.

I am very responsible and caring for my clients and their furbabies.
About: I provide loving pet care with daily walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. Reliable, attentive, and passionate about animals’ happiness and safety. Pets are family. Always happy! I do work part time. Pet care fits easily into my day. I love starting mornings with walks, checking in on pets throughout the day, and making sure they’re happy, fed, and loved. I care for pets by keeping spaces clean, safe, and cozy. I follow routines, give plenty of attention, watch for health issues, and respect each pet’s unique needs.
“Kerry was great, I felt comfortable with her in my home and taking care of my MOST precious pups! She sent me many pictures throughout the day & she gave them so much attention! I go out of town frequently and find it hard to find a great at home pet sitter. She was even so sweet to check my mail for me. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, trained and loved them since early childhood and will ensure they are given the best care. Their safety is my top priority. I’m currently working part time and my work schedule can be adjusted to fit your needs. Available all evenings for overnight sitting and available on weekends. I’m interested in a dog sitting job that requires me to stay at your home overnight so that your dog feels comfortable and not out of their element.

The average cost of House Sitting in Freeport is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $86 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 Freeport 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 Freeport 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 Freeport 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.
