“Cindy was an excellent sitter staying in our home. She took care of our two dogs like they were her own. She was very helpful in bringing our packages in and more importantly our two girls got lots of love and attention. We will definitely use her to stay with our dogs again! Highly recommend!”
“Zach was good with Duke for a 5 day in home sitting. He sent pictures and updates of Duke being Duke which we appreciate since we miss him while away. He also left the house in great condition for our return home. Thx, Zach, for taking care of our baby.”
“Kailynn stayed at my house to take care of my 3 pups. They're a lot of work, but she was fantastic! Kailynn sent pics on multiple days and left my home better than when she arrived. I wasn't expecting her to put my guest room back together (it doubles as my office, but I set it up for her to use as a bedroom when I left). She washed all the bedding and communicated really well the whole time (better than me!). I would definitely use her again.”
“Shannon took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was out of town for a week. At our meet and greet she wanted to know every detail about their days, how best to care for them, what they loved doing, and any quirks. Every day she sent several photos and let me know all the details about their day so it kept my mama heart at ease while away. It made it so much easier to be away knowing they were loved and getting endless cuddles from someone who cared. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“I have never left my dog with anyone other than family or friends so I was nervous using rover for my first time. I had a friend cancel for watching my dog Saint a DAY before a trip I had planned. I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do. I found Kierra and rover and gave it a shot. She accepted my booking the day before I left and I couldn’t be more thankful. Kierra exceeded my expectations x 100! My dog Saint loves her and when I came home he was happy and well taken care of. Kierra checked in with me and sent me photos during my time away which made me feel sooooo much better. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, and will be using her services anytime I go out of town again and can’t take my baby!”
“Maddy is a lifesaver! She was kind enough to jump in on very short notice. She is open and incredibly friendly. When we returned, we could tell right away that our dogs had been in great hands - they were relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We felt 100% comfortable leaving her in our home and truly appreciated the photos and updates she sent. We can definitely recommend Maddy to any dog owner. Thank you, Maddy!”
About: I have been a dog owner since 2018, and I have a beagle who I love so much. I am currently in Florida for school and would love to do some work while in school. I also have a cat who is very good and is okay with dogs. She will tolerate them as long as they keep their distance. She can be separated if really necessary. I can go above and beyond to care for any animal. I spoil my dog and cat like they're my own kids. I go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and am home all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus the weekends. If I were to dog/cat sit on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they wouldn't be alone; my mom would be home to take care of them as well. I have a yard but can go on walks if needed. I can offer anything that you need and will make sure they get the care they need.
“Marharyta was absoultoely wonderful with Bridget and Ziggy! I was so worried leaving Ziggy for the first time, especially with his separation anxiety, however, I could tell before I even left for vacation that he had already warmed up to her. She kept in constant contact, and I was able to see both Bridget and Ziggy happy and having fun. She watched them in our home, and our home was perfect when we came home. Awesome Awesome sitter!”
“Stephanie stayed in our home with our two boys for 3 nights and was absolutely amazing! She sent pictures, updates and was so kind. Our hearts were at ease knowing they were in great hands while we were out of state. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: Pets have always been a part of my life and I adore them. I will take very good care of your pets as if they were my own. I am currently retired and am free during the day for walks and visits. I live in Pinellas County and can visit one time or several times depending on the need. I will be able to care for your pets in your home. I do have a dog and he does not get along with other dogs. I would be able to give your dog the attention he or she needs in your home.
“Dan (and Bruno) were awesome! Murphy was so relaxed and not dressed when we got home. He got along famously with the two of them. We could tell he hadn’t lacked for any attention while we were gone. We will definitely be booking him (and Bruno!) in the future.”
“My intuition regarding Amy was spot on! She was wonderful; loving, caring and attentive to needs of my pets as well as mine. I was able to travel and enjoy my trip thanks to Amy. All was good while I was away, and at home when I arrived. I will CERTAINLY be hiring her again. Do not think twice in hiring her!!! Thank you Amy for EVERYTHING ?”
About: I have always had pets since I was really little. I have owned everything from dogs to hamsters to ferrets! I currently own 2 pitbulls and a cat! I incorporate pet care into my daily routine by making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at consistent times each day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended care depending on the schedule, and I adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. On a weekly basis, I stay flexible and organized so I can reliably accommodate regular bookings as well as any last minute requests. When caring for pets I make sure they have everything they need. I will always keep an eye on them and provide the proper care.
“Aimee is amazing!! She was so great with my Shih Tzu, Bailey!! She was so accommodating. My trip was last minute and unexpectedly had to be extended an extra day and she was wonderful about it! Bailey is scared of storms and unfortunately there was some bad weather while I was away. She made sure he was comfortable, calm, and safe. She sent regular updates and adorable pics of Bailey! She took excellent care of my plants and my house in addition to my little guy! I already have her booked for another stay in September. I highly recommend her!”
“Taylor was amazing with my pup Monti. She was very professional, kind, and responsive. I needed help last second when a sitter decided to cancel on me two days before my trip and Taylor was my life savor. I will be using Taylor again as she is trust worthy and reliable!”
“Logan is the best! I took a little mini vacation and needed him to stay at my house and take care of camo. He did a fantastic job! He sent me pictures of cam every day and left the house cleaner than it was. He is my go-to dog sitter from now on!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful with Cindy! She was incredibly kind, professional, and communicative throughout her stay. She sent me lots of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Cindy was clearly well cared for, and I came home to a very clean house. I really appreciated how thoughtful and respectful Ashley was of both Cindy and my home. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily have her watch Cindy again! 🩷”
About: Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to have dogs as companions, which has instilled in me a deep understanding of animal care. As an ardent animal enthusiast, I have developed a particular fondness for cats, having personally adopted one. When entrusted with the care of others’ animals, I approach my responsibilities with utmost seriousness, treating them with the same compassion and attention I would bestow upon my own. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. I currently take care of Pets on a part-time basis and have a few regular clients who leave every month for few days to two weeks. In their absence, I take over their pet sitting and housesitting responsibilities. I always enjoy starting the day with a meet-and-greet where I get to meet the parents and the animal. We then go over where all their food is stored. Their favorite spots are often their favorite toys, which are essentially their daily routine. I try to fit myself into that routine as easily as possible to make things easier for both the animal and the parents.
“Jazmine to the Rescue! We experienced every pet parent’s nightmare when our original sitter canceled less than a week before our trip. We found Jazmine and she quickly arranged a meet and greet for the same day. Our pets immediately warmed up to her, which gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Jazmine sent daily updates and photos. When we returned, everything was clean and in good order, and she had even left the home tidier than we left it. We would book with Jazmine again. She was punctual, communicated well, and took good care of our pets.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Indian Rocks Beach
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!
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Astra was the perfect fit to watch our dog for our overnight get away. She kept us well informed with updates and photos. Pazzo took to her immediately, which was easily seen in the photos. We didn't appear missed one second. The true sign of the right sitter. We look forward to using Astra again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Indian Rocks Beach is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $63 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 Indian Rocks Beach 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 Indian Rocks Beach 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 Indian Rocks Beach 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.
