Keleigh did a great job watching over our home and our beloved Roscoe. She managed seamlessly and did not have any problems or issues. I would not hesitate to engage her again.

Booked Emily for a weekend overnight stay. Had another great experience, as always! I have booked with Emily on multiple occasions now and already have future stays booked. I can not say enough good things about her! She is always professional, is a great communicator sending texts, pictures and videos throughout her stay. She takes great care of my home and always leaves it very neat and clean. But most importantly, she takes amazing care of my pets. She really takes the time to get to know them, their personalities and their routines. I have added pets to the herd throughout her stays over the last year with the most recent being a pair of high maintenance guinea pigs. She stopped by for a meet and greet before the stay and was very eager to interact with them and learn their daily care routine. Of course my 3 cats came running to greet her when she walked in. It has been so great finding Emily thru rover. I can easily travel without the worry of who will care for my pets while l am away. She is absolutely wonderful and l highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.

Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!

About: I love dogs but I currently can't afford to care for one of my own considering pet deposit, food, and etc. Having a dog in the house makes things overall better. I have been dogsitting/house-sitting for multiple years to fill that hole. I also love to take a lot of walks to stay in shape and having a curious little four-legged friend to accompany me makes them that much more enjoyable. I currently only work part-time so I have plenty of free time and go to the park and on walks. But, if your dog just likes to hang out indoors and watch TV, I'm cool with that as well. I live in a duplex with a nice fenced in backyard for running around in.

About: Hey there I’m a stay at home mom who is also lifelong animal lover and pet owner who understands what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have my own cat and dog at home, so I know firsthand how much routine, patience, and attention to individual personality matters — no two pets are the same. I have particular experience with senior pets and animals with anxiety — knowing how to move slowly, read body language, and create a calm, predictable environment so they feel secure rather than stressed. I’ve cared for dogs and cats through walking, sitting, and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet in my care exactly how I’d want mine treated. Whether your pet needs gentle exercise, quiet companionship, feeding, playtime, or just a calm and patient presence, I’m committed to making them feel safe and loved. Along with that I have also cared for a variety of pets, including spiders and other small animals. Services Offered: Dog walking Pet sitting Feeding and fresh water Playtime and companionship Care for cats, dogs, spiders, and other small pets Basic updates and photos while you're away Your pets are family—and we'll treat them like family too. a stay-at-home homeschooling mom, I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, allowing me to accommodate pet walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and pet sitting. . Because we are home most of the day, we can accommodate a variety of schedules and give pets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities when caring for pets in their own homes. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I strive to maintain their normal routines and provide consistent, loving care. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules to ensure each pet's well-being.

As this was only the second time leaving my dog with someone else, I was understandably anxious. However, Deborah's attentiveness to my dog's needs made all the difference. She kept me updated on how my dog was adjusting, sharing uodates and photos. The fact that Deborah even offered to pick up and drop off my dog at my house was above and beyond what I expected. Her dedication and kindness truly made this experience fantastic. I can't recommend her enough!

Raven went above and beyond while house/pet sitting my two dogs. Medications were taken care of, enrichment toys were used, and lots of treatos were given. My dogs were way more difficult than either of us expected, and she still maintained professionalism and exceptional care. She earned the trust of my extremely anxious foster dog, and dealt with my personal dog’s jealousy. My dog *intentionally* PEED on her PHONE and Raven didn’t just immediately quit. I probably would have. She gave me multiple updates with pictures each day, and made sure I knew they were in capable hands. I was especially impressed with her honesty and transparency when there was a small mishap. She immediately notified me and asked what I wanted done, as opposed to other sitters who might’ve just hoped it didn’t become a bigger problem later. I’m sure it was nerve wracking for her, but it made me trust her immensely, knowing that I could count on her to be straightforward. I will absolutely be asking her to sit for me again, if she can ever forgive my a$$hole dog 😅

About: For the past 8 years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets — from energetic puppies to senior companions, as well as cats, parrots, and fish. I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, shapes, and sizes, handling everything from walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime to litter cleaning and providing attentive companionship. Through this hands-on experience, I’ve learned how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that means keeping up with a playful pup’s energy or providing gentle, patient care for older pets. Beyond meeting their daily needs, I focus on building trust and creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment so every pet feels at home while you’re away. My dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals shine through in the care I provide. When you book with me, you’re choosing someone who will treat your pet like family and give them the personalized attention they deserve. View my calendar to find dates that align with your schedule and needs. My availability is very clear! Leaving more than enough time for me to visit and cater to your pet's needs. I currently have completely open availability in my schedule. I am open to visits, walks, house sittings, or overnight stays. I have a fenced backyard where your fur baby will have ample space to roam. I am also more than willing to visit clients' homes.

I have availability on days where I don't have classes to tend to your pet care needs! I live in a smoke free, clean 2x2 apartment.

About: I love all animals and have experience with animals with minor medical needs (ie. pills, shots, creams, etc). I have 2 dogs and am a 4x foster with LCHS with three of them being medical foster puppies. I also have 6 cats who have all come from different situations and back rounds. I excel at following your pets schedule and needs. I commonly house sit for a 100+ lb dog and am more than willing to watch your dog at my home as long as they are good with other dogs and cats. I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. We do not have a fenced yard but live in a very walkable area. Our dogs are crate trained and we have no problem crating your fur baby or leaving them out per your preference.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of different breeds and ages for as long as I can remember! I have experience administering medication to senior dogs. I love to do more than just feed and check on them, like play, walk, and cuddle! I have two kitties of my own, and we have had wiener dogs in the family since childhood! I’m pretty open and available to follow your schedule! I typically have gone twice a day when I watch my friend’s animals, it just depends on what they prefer and what they think is best! I am very flexible. I will care for your pets and home as if they are my own! I love animals, it’s a pleasure to spend time with them. I will accommodate to your pets needs as you see fit!

I would recommend Andrew to anyone and have no reservations booking him again. My two adult pitbulls adore Andrew. I'm borderline concerned that they like him more than me. Andrew was in contact with me everyday I was away. He sent videos and photos as well as exact times when they started and ended walks. Additionally Andrew asked permission before doing things. Despite being a fairly relaxed person with people using the amenities, I truly appreciated Andrew asking for my consent prior to using them. Definitely give Andrew a call and see if he's available to watch your fur babies. I'm glad I did.

About: Hi there! My name is Rachel & my fiancé and I recently relocated to Tallahassee for his new job. I am currently in the process of studying for my Florida Teaching Certification. My love for teaching young children and education is something I pride myself on. At the moment, I am nannying for a family in the Tallahassee area! For the entirety of my life, I have been around dogs. My family has had two miniature pinschers and a Jack Russel. I have dog sat for families with Golden Doodles, Australian Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Daschaunds - the list goes on! I am open to staying the night to watch dogs while their owners are away, coming to walk dogs during the day or even just keeping them company when need be. I would love to learn more about how I can provide help with watching your dogs in the future. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I'm relocating to Tallahassee at the end of July and will be job hunting, which means I'll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or just giving them extra attention and companionship, I'll make sure they receive the care they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I love providing owners with peace of mind while they're away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I do my best to stick to your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. That includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and, of course, plenty of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pet, and send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they're happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet!

This was our first time having someone stay at our house. Stacey took amazing care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats and our babies were able to stay comfy at their own home. I usually check our caneras a million times but I didn’t need to this time which was a relief! I knew our babies were being cared for. Would absolutely book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Homestead Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Homestead Ridge on Rover is $33.3 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 339 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Homestead Ridge. 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 Homestead Ridge 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 Homestead Ridge 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 Homestead Ridge 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 Homestead Ridge. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
