“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”
About: l've always loved animals and have had cats at home since I was little. Growing up, I often took care of the dogs in my family, including my aunts', cousins' and friends' dogs. I've also gained experience with pets while working as a nanny and au pair, where I helped take care of the family's dogs and cats as part of my daily routine. I currently have an Australian Shepherd who is over two years old, and I recently adopted a two-month-old kitten, so pets are a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing, feeding them, or simply keeping them company. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I'm happy to give them the patience, attention, and love they need. I have a flexible schedule and can work around your pet's normal routine. I'm happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, or spending time with your pets while you're away. I'm also happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have, because I know pets feel most comfortable when their normal routine stays the same. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I always want both you and your pets to feel comfortable. I'll take the time to get to know your pet, their routine, and what they like or don't like. Their safety always comes first, and I'l treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I'm also happy to send you pictures and updates so you can see how they're doing while you're away.
“Melody is beyond great! she treated my pup like her own and sent lots and lots of pictures. My dog’s birthday was during when she was watcher her, and so Melody sang happy birthday to her ? Many thanks for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Dawna did an amazing job talking care of our 3 dogs. You can tell she has a really big heart. She sent pics and a cute video to us during her stay in our home. Everything was left super clean and all 3 dogs were super happy and worn out from playing!! We hope to have her again. I'd rank her above other dog sitters I've had.”
“I am SO SO happy to have found Wendy! The dogs love her and so do I. She recently watched the dogs for a week while we were out of state on vacation, and even though I ended up with zero cell service and very spotty WiFi making it nearly impossible for me to reply to her texts, I felt completely confident and comfortable knowing that Wendy was with my babies and that they were in great hands! Thank you for loving them!”
“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!”
“Jennifer is fantastic! She was very flexible scheduling time to meet with our cat and dog prior to the booking to make sure it was a good fit. During the pet/house sit she shared pictures and videos each day and took very good care of our fur babies and was an excellent house guest. Would absolutely recommend and hope to work with her in the future!”
About: I have taken care of pets for Family and Friends, I go over and feed and play with the dogs and cats.

I live in a condo, I do have a friendly Havamalt named Ozzy who is 2 years old. He is very playful, I do have references available
“Jason took great care of our 5 dogs and house while we were out of town! The dogs all seemed very comfortable with him. Even the one that is very weary of new people warmed up to him particularly quickly! Jason kept the house clean and was very attentive to all of the dogs needs. He read all the instructions we left for him and followed them to a T. Highly recommend Jason!”
“Jennica was awesome! Highly recommend! All 3 dogs loved her. She kept them entertained, safe, and happy the whole time we were gone and sent pictures and updates daily! It was such a relief for us to know they were in great hands.”
About: I have been around animals since I was three years old when my family began to foster dogs, lizards, and rodents of all sizes, ages, and conditions! During my high school days I completed my volunteer hours as a dog walker for the SPCA Tampa Bay. I continued pet sitting/fostering (and adopted bearded dragons) into college and have helped many a neighbor and friend find affordable and trustworthy care for their pet! I offer over-night pet care any day of the week! See you soon! I’m a nanny by day, but my evenings are all yours! From anywhere between 6pm-8am I am available to walk, potty, feed, and cuddle your fur/scale/feather baby! I will bring care and professionalism into your home making sure everything is just (if not better;) than I found it! I am great with directions as well! Tell me what you need and rest assured it will be done:)
“Linda is wonderful! She truly loves dogs. She treated Flo like her own. We canceled this bokking once because of Hurricane Milton then rebooked after the storm had passed and we made it through unscathed. Linda, however, had lost power at her house. We will definitely book with Linda again-- if she is available! She is understandably in high demand.”
“Kailynn watched our dogs while we were out of town at our house for a week. She provided our babies plenty of potty breaks, walks, and snuggles. She sent us some pictures of them also while we were away - which is always nice since we miss them for sure. She kept the house clean and had everything washed and remade for the guestroom when we came home! Will be using her again for sure in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my household since I was young, with early memories of my family taking in stray dogs and sheltering them. I currently have two dogs myself, and have lived with cats in a shared household previously. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets when they are unable to, and in taking on this responsibility, I make sure to walk, feed, bathe, and play with them so they are well cared for. I currently work a remote job, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to check in on pets during the weekdays. Moreover, I personally feel more motivated to go outside and exercise when I have a pet with me. It promotes a healthier routine for me, so it's mutually beneficial for us both! Because I have two dogs, I can pack extra necessities that may be needed in order to properly care for your pet. This can include fun toys to play and give your dog exercise with, pet cleaning supplies, extra poop bags for walks, etc.
“Joli was great! I’m always worried about leaving my dogs with someone new, but she exceeded my expectations and kept me updated with pictures everyday. The house was also exactly how I left it. Will definitely use Joli again for future vacations!”

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!
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!

Audra was great with Zeus. He had a rough first night I was gone with stress. She handled it very well. From then on he was very happy. She gave me good updates throughout the week. I appreciate her spending g time with him and making him comfortable with her while I was away. I will definitely call her again when I go away!! Thank you Audra.
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sovan was perfect. He stayed with our dog at our home for roughly 12 days. He kept our dogs and our plants and kept them happy and healthy the whole time. He sent daily pics and videos while we were gone and was quick to respond to texts. When we got back, it was so awesome to come home to a clean house too. After having felt unable to travel out of anxiety over what to do with our dog, it's amazing to feel that we have someone we can trust to take care of our Dennis and our home.
Diane was amazing! We were in a bit of a jam because our former sitter quit after we had already purchased plane tickets. Diane found someone to watch her dog, so she could stay with our 3. She was here day and night, other than running errands. She sent pics and updates throughout the day and was very communicative. One of the dogs was having digestive issues, so Diane picked up chicken and rice at my request. She also made him some homemade bone broth because he wasn't drinking much water, and she didn't want him to get dehydrated. Our house was very clean when we returned. Diane went above and beyond for us and the pups, and we are so grateful! Highly recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Largo on Rover is $47.08 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 3,697 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Largo. 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 Largo 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 Largo 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 Largo 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 Largo. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
