“Christine did an amazing job watching our 2 Frenchies in our home! Both of our dogs require meds, and one needs meds 3x daily for epilepsy. She sent text updates with pictures and videos! She responded very quickly when we messaged to check in, which allowed us to enjoy our quick weekend getaway knowing all was well back home! She even stayed to monitor the dogs when our house lost power for a few hours during a storm! We are very grateful we found Christine and would not hesitate to recommend her to someone looking for an excellent sitter! We look forward to using her in the future!”

“Jennica is phenomenal. I will absolutely be using her again. She was very attentive to my dogs needs and she communicates very quickly. She genuinely loves animals and it shows. I’m extremely happy with the service provided.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Yenifer and Si are truly amazing sitters! They are professional, kind and love what they do. We have booked Yenifer and Si twice now to house sit and both times have been great experiences. Our pets are in the best hands with them, and we will be booking them again in the future!”

“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!”

“Shailyn did a fabulous job of communicating with twice daily texts, including photos, assuring me that my two kitty boys are being well taken care of! My condo and fur babies were in excellent condition upon my return – would definitely recommend!”

“We were very pleased with Susie, the boys responded very well to her friendly demeanor. She was punctual, professional, and left the house in good condition! This was our first time leaving our babies behind and we were nervous but with all the pictures and communication we felt at ease. We would definitely request Susie again in the future.”

“Cristina did a fantastic job caring for our pup, Freckles. She stayed in regular contact throughout Freckles’ stay, ensuring she was comfortable and well taken care of. When our return was unexpectedly delayed, Cristina was willing to extend her stay beyond the original booking, which greatly eased our worries during the unpredictable travel circumstances. Thanks to her kindness and flexibility, we were able to return as planned, and knowing Freckles was in good hands made everything much easier to handle. We highly recommend Cristina’s services and will definitely rebook with her for our future needs. Thank you! 😊”

“Beverly was a wonderful caregiver to our elderly pup. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and she treated him with love and kindness as if he were her own. We would highly recommend her to everyone who has pets to be cared for.”

About: Myself and my wife have enjoyed our lives basically surrounded by dogs. When we were young and first married, we bought a house in the woods with two acres to build into a dog sanctuary. We breed and raised dobermans and danes. We built kennels and fenced in park for our kids (dogs). Our house was a paradise for dogs with a walk in basement and garage, heated and air conditioned complete with sofas, dog beds, carpeting and TV. We lived in Indy at that time. All our dogs were kept inside while we worked and always kept in ac and heat depending on season. The outdoor kennels has a large roof overhead and a deck off the back which lead to our wooded fenced in back yard(1 acre). We constructed a 200 foot walkway throughout the woods with well first class lighting. The property was on o hill and at the back a 20x 20 deck was at the end of the walk way. Our pool was a large 40x20 foot pool. All dogs trained on where steps were (pool school) and the dogs compound was separated by 5 foot chain link fence. All dogs were taken to obedience training by myself and my wife. We had one litter of 8 Doberman puppies and kept three puppies with their mother. When the mother passed we adopted a black Great Dane, she was 7 months old and spent half her nights downstairs in the kennels and lounge area with Jaba our largest pup to be his best friend. We always had two dogs in our bedroom, alternating both couples from downstairs to upstairs. People would say “ when I die I want to come back as one of Dan and Terry’s dogs”. We were fortunate to have the facility, which we designed and built, to make everything work so well. After our litter of dobermans aged and expired, we needed a friend for our Dane ( Molly Dane). We went to a no kill humane society event with our Dane and found a perfect Lab mix who just adored her. The name they had given him was Chauncey. We brought him home and showed him all his new home. He loved the woods, the pool, the kennels and the freedom of the back woods. He, however, was escape artist. The woods was all fenced with 5 foot brown chain link fence, but he kept getting out. We would search the neighborhood till we found him. We determined he could not jump the fence but rather he would climb it to escape. Given time, he would also dig under. We then added an invisible fence to the top of our fence only on the outer perimeter ( over a mile of wire). We trained him if he got within 3 feet of the fence, he was warned with an audible tone from his collar. However, if he got close enough he would receive a shock. This system worked great. Later, however, he had no desire to even leave his house and he loved his Dane. We, shortly later, rescued a Jack Russell from an apartment life which lacked human companions due to long work schedules. We kept him for a month and found a great home for him with another Jack Russell and a fenced back yard. We later rescued a wiener dog,who had nipped a kid, and was destined to be put down. He became a member of the family because my wife feel in love with him as he looked like a Doberman puppy. We sold our home in Indy, and moved to our second home in Florida with the Dane, the Lab and the wiener. I am currently sitting in my recliner writing this with the only survivor from those years in my lap, the wiener. We now have him, 14 years old, and his little friend, Joey (a rescue wiener 10 pound chestnut colored cutie). That’s our story. We do like to travel and we definitely hate to leave our dogs. We always have friends come to the house while we vacation and won’t go if all was not perfect for their care. Rudy, the old wiener, is now 14. He is blind now and Joey is a baby lap dog. We still walk Rudy in a baby carriage. He still is enjoying the elder years as much as we can provide. We have always loved our dogs. We love all DOGS! We are retired and live in a four bedroom ranch near the ocean. I work a day or two at a country club and my wife enjoys free golf and tennis with me. We never leave our dogs more than 4 hours. We are home or nearby most of the time. See pictures. Our back yard in perfect for dogs ( fenced,safe,etc). And our house is safe and comfortable . We have turasso floors, no carpet, and an open floor plan. We walk our dogs in a great neighborhood with sidewalks and speed bumps.
“Tina was kind and capable. My boys were calm and comfortable all day. She made them dinner and sent me great photos throughout the day. We enjoyed our family graduation celebration and we are very grateful for Tina’s TLC”

“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.”

About: We recentlymoved to the Seminole/Largo area from New Jersey. I’ve grown up with animals of all kind and had pets my entire life. Currently we are a three dog, two cat family. I have cared for dogs of every size. Ive fostered over 50 cats and I’m comfortable giving basic care along with medication if needed. I currently work full-time from home. I typically make about four visits a day or more needed. I’m flexible with my schedule and will work around your needs! I’ve had a handful of Dog boarders but primarily I do in-home visits and dog walking. My yard is fully fenced in so doggy daycare is always an option. Let me know your needs and I will work around it.
“Jamie was fantastic! She took great care of our pup and our home. Our lab Coco got to go on hikes and walks and had lots of play and snuggle time. We loved seeing pictures and videos of the fun from Jamie while we were away and will definitely rebook with her in the future.”

About: I've been an animal lover since I was a little kid, having birds, lizards, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and more, I have experience with all kinds of pets! I got my start working as a dog handler for a large facility in Michigan that offered daycare, boarding, grooming, and training for all breeds of dogs. That is where I fell in love with taking care of animals. I graduated from the Academy of Animal Arts and Sciences and since then I have been grooming at a salon as well as doing freelance pet sitting, training, and grooming. I work at a grooming salon Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from roughly 8am-4pm so I am available to care for your pets outside of those hours. I currently am not able to board dogs in my home, due to damage from hurricane helene and hurricane milton but I am available for pet care in your home!

Andi is a great pet sitter! She did a great job watching our GSP, Josh, who really liked her. I love how she sent us a few updates and photos every day and stayed in touch with us while we were away. She came to meet Josh before staying at our house with him and texted to confirm the appointment a day before which was great. Thank you, Andi!

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!

Tina took excellent care of our babies while we went away on a family trip. She had a full house on her hands and made sure they had lots of attention and cuddles. Her daughter came over too to help with their care and playtime, and she communicated very well with us every day with photos and updates on how they were doing. We recommend her and would definitely book with Tina again in the future :)

I truly cannot recommend Walter enough, we had a sitter abandon our pets mid-stay while we were traveling abroad and Walter was able to step in and not only ensure our pets were cared for but truly loved! He took them on walks, played and hung out outside with them, and let the pets sleep in the bed with him. On top of all of that, he even cleaned all of the sheets and comfortable prior to my arrival back home. We will be using Walter again for our future travels.

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.
Sam was amazing! I definitely recommend her. She house sat for me last minute. Will definitely be booking again. My dogs and my cat can be very shy with new people, but they all warmed up to her really well right away. She gave them lots of attention and she sent me lots of photos. Sam left my house cleaner than I left it and her communication was great. Thanks Sam!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Indian Shores on Rover is $42.37 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,533 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Indian Shores. 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 Indian Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Indian Shores. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
