About: I’ve got 2 huskies of my own, and I’ve been animal-sitting since I was 10! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and lots of experience with a variety of different animals! I’m working part-time, and am I full time student. My schedule is very flexible and I always make sure to prioritize my animal friends. My personal life revolves around my own two dogs but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t usually care for pets in my own home on account of my own two dogs. However I have a lot of experience caring for pets in clients homes. I’ve cared for every kind of animal from a tortoise to a chinchilla. I have extensive experience caring for sick or elderly animals, administering any kind of medication is not new to me.
“Madison is an incredibly kind and wonderful sitter with excellent communication! We have 3 cats that all have their quirks, but she learned all our kitties needs and gave them lots of love. We are so grateful for her and highly recommend her for all your pet-sitting needs.”
“Giselle was the best, she stayed at my place for a day/night and it went amazing. She sent lots of pictures of my dog and followed all the instructions I left for her. Would highly recommend!”
“Mariana was absolutely amazing taking care of my two dogs during my 12-day vacation! She handled their daily medications, strict feeding routines, and regular walks with absolute care and professionalism. I received wonderful daily updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while away. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when I got home. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again!”
“Laura did a great job with my pets. She sent me pictures and updates on how they were doing, this gave me peace of mind and the ability to enjoy my vacation. This was the first time they were taken care of someone they didn’t know but they all trusted her and it was life as usual for them. Will definitely try to book Laura when I plan my next vacation.”
“Victoria did an amazing job with my 2 puppies. They absolutely loved her and had a great time. She sent updates though the afternoon/night with pictures and it was amazing to see them calm and sleeping ir playing and eating. Will absolutely recommend her!”
“Ashley is truly amazing with Ares! She not only arrives on time, but immediately jumps into caring for him — taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first in the morning, play time, and keeps up with his scheduled routine. She also sends me multiple videos and photos throughout the day with important updates. We absolutely love having her watch our puppy!🩵”
“Suzanne was wonderful! She was very communicative, punctual, kind, and made me feel comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I also really appreciated the thoughtful card she left for me, it was such a sweet personal touch. I would definitely recommend Suzanne and would happily book her again! ❤️🐾”
About: Hi - I'm Sveta! I am a senior at NYU and I’ve been caring for pets my whole life! I had two dogs growing up - a Yorkie and a German Shepherd - and I also currently have a Tabby cat. My experiences have taught me how to care for pets of very different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I truly love all pets and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away 🐶💛 I’m currently a student at NYU, so while I do have classes throughout the week, they’re spread out in short portions of the day. I am home majority of the day so your pets are never left alone for long periods, and I’m able to give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day 😇! I live in a very safe, quiet high-rise apartment that’s wider than most NYC apartments, giving pets plenty of space to relax, play, and nap throughout the day! 🎾 The building is fully secure and pet-friendly, with a completely enclosed, fenced grassy area on the 30th floor where dogs can safely run around, get fresh air, and unwind. I’m also located near Bryant Park and the West Side Highway piers, which are perfect for walks and runs in beautiful, open spaces 🌞 The building is home to many other pet families, creating a friendly and welcoming environment where pets can socialize safely. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities!
About: I have experience caring for my neighbors’ dogs, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves playtime or prefers calm companionship, I provide patient, reliable, and personalized care. I’ll treat your dog like my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide loving and attentive care for pets. I work part-time and occasionally travel, but when I’m home, I spend most of my time taking care of my home and my two cats. Since I’m often home, I’m able to provide pets with companionship, attention, playtime, and a comfortable environment. I would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by caring for their animals when they need someone they can trust. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. I will provide reliable care, regular updates, and treat every pet with the same love and patience I give my own. In my home: I have a spacious home with multiple empty rooms and a fenced yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I understand that every animal has different needs, so I can create a calm, separate space if needed. I have two cats of my own, and if they do not get along with a visiting cat, I can safely keep the guest cat comfortable on the second floor with a room, a window, and everything they need, while still providing plenty of love and attention. In your home: I will care for your pets while respecting your home and your routines. I will follow your instructions carefully and will not touch or use anything that I am not allowed to. My priority is to keep your pet comfortable, maintain their normal routine, and leave your home clean and respected.
About: We are located on 5 acres fully fenced in Land O' Lakes. It's like have a full doggie park out the front door. We love it!! We have been watching dogs for friends and family for years. The kids love playing with dogs. Any medication your pet(s) may need we will handle. Any special toys or beds are welcomed (and encouraged) to be brought, along with food/water bowls. We want your furry family member to feel right at home. If the furry family member needs special attention with anything we will accommodate those needs. When you are on vacation, your furry family member will be on their own little vacation in a home away from home. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. We love all dogs! Pet care is our everyday life. We are up between 5:30 and 6am. The larger dogs get a 1.5 to 3 mile walk every morning. The smaller and older dogs get a walk to more suit their individual needs. After the morning walk its breakfast time with one more short out before we are off to work. The pups get an afternoon walk along with a longer evening walk before dinner. Then shortly before bedtime we go outside one more time. This is normal day, but will be modified around the pups needs and our schedule. All pups are treated as they are part of our family while in our care. They get loved, pets and playtime. We allow all pups on the sofa and bed (unless asked by the owner not too).

Laura was fantastic! She took amazing care of our spunky bernedoodle, Rio, sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the weekend, and left our house spotless. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’d absolutely book her again!
Lindsay did a great job house sitting over the weekend with our 3 pups. She kept them on their schedules. She spent time cuddling and exercising with them. We came home to happy relaxed pups and the house was as clean as we left it! We highly recommend Lindsay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lutz on Rover is $42.8 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 4,121 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lutz. 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 Lutz 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 Lutz 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 Lutz 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.
