“Thank you Marina! Our two dogs were so well cared for during our getaway, they acted like we had never left when we arrived back home. We appreciate the individualized care and great attention to detail you provided!”
“Jillyn is an incredible dog sitter!! She took great care of not only my pup but also my home. I didn't worry about a thing while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend Jillyn and she will be the first person I'd reach out to for my future dog sitting needs!”
About: Hi! I am Sara, and I just moved back to Naples after being out in the Southwest for the past few years. Originally from upstate NY, I lived in NYC for over 13 years, then I moved out to San Diego, then down to Naples, then out to Phoenix….and finally decided to come back to Florida to settle. However, I travel a lot as well, so I am able to provide services in other cities depending on my travel schedule. Growing up, I had a rabbit and a mini dachshund as pets. Currently, I am the proud mom of four adorable guinea pigs and 3 dogs (2 Corgis and an Aussie shepherd). My experience with animals is extensive. I began taking care of dogs and cats at a young age and by middle school I had a successful neighborhood pet-sitting service. Additionally, I attended farm camp (yes, that exists haha) from age 6-11, and at 13 years old, I started working at the same farm (as farm staff and as a counselor for the kids' day and overnight camp programs). The farm was primarily a dairy farm, home to a herd of Jersey, Guernsey, and Holstein cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, guinea hens, ducks, and of course....plenty of dogs and cats. I worked there over 7 years and loved every minute of it. The responsibility and work-ethic that comes from animal husbandry is priceless - not only do I greatly value manual labor, but I also appreciate the dedication and daily grind that is intrinsic to farming and to ensuring that dependent animals' basic needs are met. Despite having lived in NYC, I still manage to spend time on farms and I travel extensively throughout the U.S., visiting and helping many friends/family that have different animals. Most recently, I have worked on a cattle ranch in Montana and goat dairy in Missouri, which were both a wonderful experiences. Since I have a full household of pets (and an human child) I am unfortunately unable to host any pets in my home. However, it is quite easy for me to get to places around the area, so I am happy to come to your home and take care of your pets. Sometimes, this is even better because then the animal(s) get to stay in the comfort of their home and don't experience the stress of a new environment, coupled with the absence of their owner! I am a very active person - so I look forward taking dogs out for long walks and playing with them! I prefer that we schedule services a week in advance (as specified), but I know that emergencies happen and sometimes you need somebody last minute. I am happy to occasionally provide last-minute services, especially since I have a somewhat flexible work schedule and my mode of transportation is quick! Most importantly, I have a deep respect and love for all animals. I look forward to meeting your creatures and you can rest assured that they will be in fabulous hands! I work full time but my hours are flexible. Additionally, I travel a lot, so I will update my location if I plan to be in a certain place for more than 5 days. Please do not hesitate to reach out with a booking inquiry. I always do my best to accommodate. The guinea pigs are in a nice hutch. The dogs stay in the kitchen when I am not home and they sleep inside the house.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 89 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ochopee. 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 Ochopee 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 Ochopee 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 Ochopee 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
