“My kitties and doggos loved Jennica!! She came for an overnight sit and took such good care of them. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and was very independent. I had no worries leaving them in her care, and I know they were sad that I came back and Jennica left 😄 The house was spotless too! I’ll be having her back for sure!”
“Gretchen watched our dog and cat over a long weekend and did a fantastic job. Our pets loved her company, she was a great communicator, and she kept our house super tidy! 10/10! I can’t recommend Gretchen enough and we hope she is available next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you Gretchen for taking such good care of our pets!”
“Kaitlyn was great with my dog, Hudson! She gave him love and care as if he were her own. She was communicative, timely and send a ton of photos and updates each day! As someone who is super picky with choosing someone to care for my dog, I couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn! She also left my home spotless and in the same condition I left it in, would 100% use her again!”
“Rita was wonderful! She took care of our three dogs for 3 nights in our home. She took lots of pictures and gave us updates throughout the day. She also left our home very tidy. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“James did a great job with my dogs while house sitting! He was communicative, reliable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs are used to a lot of attention and company, and he made sure they were well cared for and comfortable. He also left my home clean and exactly as I left it, which I really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I’d definitely book with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups! 🐾”
“We couldn’t be happier with Aubrey! She came through for us at the last minute, was flexible enough to do a meet and greet on short notice, and was able to care for both of our animals. Aubrey is experienced, knowledgeable, and has prior veterinary medical knowledge, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were especially nervous about leaving our dog alone, but Aubrey was absolutely phenomenal and made the entire experience so much easier. She sent pictures, provided daily updates, and was always kind, respectful, and attentive to our pets’ needs. It was clear that our animals were in great hands, and we are so grateful to have found someone we can trust. We would highly recommend Aubrey to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that pets are family, I treat every pet in my care with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I have always had pets in my life ever since I was a child, I can't imagine a life without them. My husband and I of 26 years have always had a dog and a cat in our home, our 2 kids grew up with them as well. We are now empty nesters and our recent family dog Tank passed last year at 17 years old. Oh how we miss him! We currently do not have a dog, but do have a cat named Cali. She is 12 yrs old, has her own space and typically does not interact with the dogs. Our son and his fiance have two dogs (Corgi and Golden Retriever) that we have taken care of when needed since they were puppies. Neighbors and friends have also relied on us to watch, check in with, feed, walk and play with their pups and kitties. We have a fenced back yard with pool, our grand pups enjoy the sun shelf to cool off and occasionally jump in. We live close to the Pinellas Trail as well which is great for early morning and evening walks. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and lots of cuddles! My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while you are away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets to learn more about how I can help. I recently retired from my full time job of 30 years, looking to stay active while enjoying my love for animals by caring for pets. I live in a home with a fenced back yard. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, making them feel safe and loved.
About: I truly love animals and enjoy making them feel happy, safe, and loved. I have experience caring for puppies and understand the extra patience, attention, and care they need. I know pets are family, and I treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles while keeping your pet comfortable in their routine. My goal is for you to feel at ease knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands! Caring for pets is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether we’re going for a morning walk, playing with their favorite toys, or enjoying a quiet afternoon together, I love making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and building a routine around their individual needs. I’ll make time for walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles while keeping their usual schedule as consistent as possible. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend, not just being watched while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are always a priority, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, affection, and care I would give my own. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always at the heart of how I care for them. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain their familiar routines, and provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs. From keeping them securely leashed on walks to ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their own home, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I would my own. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away, knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands.
“Mary is amazing . She treated our two treasured dogs like they were her own . She takes her responsibilities seriously and it shows . I could tell Dolly and Gypsy were extremely well cared for while we were away for a whole week …no worries with Mary on board . Huge side note - our dogs are BIG shedders - a daily vacuum for sure …and when we got home the house looked exactly like we left it . Mary went above and beyond her job as a dog sitter keeping the house dog hair free . She is a gem and we will definitely use her again and again . Thank you Mary .”
About: Hi! I’m a Pinellas County local returning after spending several years abroad. This past year while living in Germany, I’ve had the absolute privilege of caring for more than 40 pets via Germany’s leading pet-sitting app, where I take great pride in maintaining a 5 star rating and building trust with more than a dozen pet parents that chose to rebook me again and again. I have experience caring for breeds large and small, and pets young and old. From an elderly chihuahua to an 8-week-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, I’ve developed an expertise in understanding dogs of all ages and sizes, interpreting their needs, and ensuring their ultimate comfort and happiness while they’re in my care. I have experience caring for as many as 3 dogs at once, as well as house sitting overnight in the pet’s home and boarding pets over night in my own home. My favorite part of pet sitting is the relationships I get to build with both my pets and their parents. :) Thank you for considering my services—please reach out with any questions! I work remotely for myself, which allows me ultimate flexibility to adapt and coordinate to your schedule and your pet’s needs! My pet parents frequently comment on how helpful it is to them that I’m frequently available for last-minute bookings, as well as maintain flexibility to shift my schedule around, extend time, etc. as needed. The pet’s comfort is my first and foremost priority, which means that the first thing that’s required is that I build trust with the pet. This starts by me asking several questions about the pet, which I will use to adapt my approach to trust-building with your pet (playing with a favorite toy, treats, or simply sitting together at first—every pet needs something different!). I ensure that I stick to the schedule or routine that they are used to, and make sure to send lots of pictures and updates so that you’re always kept in the loop!
“This was our first experience in using a Pet Sitter, and David was brilliant! From the initial meet ans greet, he established a great connection with the furbabies. David asked questions and took great care of the pups whilst we were away. David sent daily updates and pictures, which were gratefully received and offered us peace of mind. Thank you David, and we would certainly recommend ? Great job David!”
“April is simply the best! She cared for my cat while I was on a 2 week vacation and I could not recommend her enough! She went above and beyond and provided the utmost care for my little guy!”
About: I grew up in a house hold with dogs and have been for sitting for 20 of those 29 years. I couldn’t imagine a life without dogs. When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life! I have an open schedule I am able to be scheduled very openly. All we have to do is communicate on getting things worked out I have a reliable fenced in backyard. A huge bath run for grooming purpose. And millions of balls and toys to play with. I love any and all dogs
About: I will always ask for a meet and great before committing to boarding or sitting. I want you to hear you concerns and needs and make sure we are a good fit. Your pet will get lots of cuddles, walks and playtime. I have open availability and will work with you to ensure that your loved one is cared for. If I am in your home I will follow the routine and rules you have in place for the well being of your pet. If I am onboarding your furry friend feeding/ potty and bed times will be adhered to.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harbor Bluffs
Katie went above and beyond for us when we needed a house sitter. She communicated frequently, spent a lot of time caring for the animals, and the house was clean and tidy when we got home. Above all, you can tell she really cares for animals and is a really cool person. I cannot recommend her enough, and I will keep inviting her back, because I’m sure my boys will miss her!
Teagan was absolutely wonderful with our two golden retrievers, Jackson and Parker! She stayed at our house for the full 10 days and took such great care of both the dogs and our home. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay and sent us lots of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, the house was spotless, and she even washed all the sheets before leaving. It was clear that she went above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Teagan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and dependable. Awesome job all around!
Amanda, we cannot thank you enough for taking such exceptional care of our two Goldens and home! Even through a week of rain and unexpected irrigation repairs you were gracious and understanding. I hope you know that you are stuck with us because we will never find anyone more responsible, trustworthy, or loving!
Shareka was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs are incredibly spoiled. They’re used to lots of attention, affection, and company, and she exceeded my expectations in every way and I felt zero guilt for leaving my dogs. I use Rover almost every weekend, and I can honestly say she has been my favorite sitter so far. I would recommend her without hesitation and would hire her again every single time if our schedules line up. She’s reliable, caring, and truly treats your pets like her own. I almost don’t want to leave this review because I want to keep her my little secret. 😂 But she deserves every bit of the praise. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Harbor Bluffs is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 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.

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 Harbor Bluffs 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 Harbor Bluffs 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 Harbor Bluffs 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 Harbor Bluffs. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
