“Wow! Katherine was Amazing! Great personality and she kept me informed and went the extra mile! She was on time, super nice, and Luna seemed so happy when we got home! She will definitely be my go to person! So don’t book her, because she’s all mine! lol! Just kidding!”
“Leslie was an absolute dream. Our other sitter fell through, so we reached out to Leslie and she was amazing with the pups. She was great at communicating and took our puppy on lots of walks. I would recommend her over and over again. We appreciated her help last minute so much!”
About: My many years of owning pets and working at a veterinarian facility has given me many different experiences with pets. My love for pets would be shown in the love and care I would provide for each any every pet I take care of. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 guinea pig, and 1 bearded dragon, with each one getting equal love and care. I would provide your pet with the same love and care that I give my own pets. If you choose me as your sitter or walker, know that I have the years of experience and understanding of different pets and know that each pet has its own personality. I look forward to getting to know each of your pets. I am currently doing online classes right now to better my self. I have more time then I use to, to help others that may not have as much time as they would like to help with their pets. I am unable to watch any pets at my personal home because of one of my dogs doesn’t like other pets. But I would take care of someone else’s home like it was my own with my own animals. If a fence is available we would play outside. If not we would walk around the neighborhood.
“Savannah was an amazing pet and house sitter. She went above and beyond to not only take care of our furr babies, but take care of our house too! She is very accommodating, communicative and great with our animals. Thank you once again for taking care of our zoo!”
“Teri is great! This is the second time we’ve used her and both have been exceptional. She stayed for 8 days this time and just goes above and beyond to ensure we come home happy. Emerson really enjoys her visits, and that is unusual. He doesn’t let many people play with him, but Teri has made a friend. We have no concerns having Teri stay for long sits. We really feeel blessed to have her. Jim and Cindy”
“She did a great job again with my pets and spent so much time with them! Sent pictures and made me feel at ease. I love that she stayed with my cats for so long. Don’t hesitate, she’s a great pet sitter who will spend quality time with your pets!”
About: Raised in Oklahoma surrounded by horses, chickens, goats, and dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My six years as a postal letter carrier added another layer to that experience, giving me a strong, practical read on dog behavior and body language out on the daily route. Now living in The Villages, I bring that lifelong familiarity to every sit. I’m comfortable with the full spectrum of pets—from giant Mastiffs to tiny Maltese, alongside cats, birds, and farm livestock. Though new to the Rover platform, I am an experienced, full-time sitter with a proven track record of 28 five-star reviews from past clients on Trusted Housesitters. Working remotely full-time means I’m right there where your pets need me most. They get steady, around-the-clock companionship, regular outdoor breaks, and total consistency with their usual feeding and exercise schedules. Whether you have an energetic dog that needs active routine or a senior pet that prefers a calm, watchful presence, I offer dependable, level-headed care that keeps your animals safe and your property thoroughly respected. Because my wife and I both work remotely full-time, our schedule is extremely flexible. Someone is almost always present in the home, meaning your pets receive constant companionship, frequent pot-breaks, timely feedings, and zero disruption to their normal daily routine. We easily integrate walks, play sessions, and attention throughout the day while we work. We treat your home and pets with total respect, cleanliness, and security. During sits in your home, we follow all security protocols, maintain strict leash safety during outdoor walks, and adhere closely to your feeding, crate, or medication routines. We send regular updates and photos so you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing your pets and property are in mature, experienced hands.
About: I'm an attentive and experienced sitter with specialized skills in training puppies and caring for seniors. My dedication to personalized care sets me apart thanks Pet care is integrated into my daily routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and grooming sessions. Weekly, I prioritize vet visits, training, and socialization for pets. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, including regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and attention. In clients' homes, I follow their specific care instructions diligently.
“Angela has been caring for our cocker spaniel for about a month now, and she has just been wonderful to work with. We recently moved to FL, and before that, our dog only had one caretaker for his entire life (he's 12), so we really wanted to take the time with someone new for both drop in visits and overnights/housesitting, and she has really gained his trust - and ours!! He seems very happy in the photos she sends. So happy we found her!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been a proud dog owner of several breeds and a cat owner, and caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, I'm happy to provide the individualized care they deserve. I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'm dependable, trustworthy, punctual, and attentive to every detail. I communicate regularly, follow instructions carefully, and will always treat your pets and your home with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while making sure your pet feels loved, happy, and cared for until you return. I can't wait to meet you and your wonderful furry family members! Thank you for considering me. It would be a privilege to care for your beloved pets. I also wanted to note that my absolute favorite dog breed are Pugs, I grew up with three of them! — Lyndsay 🐾 Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me happiness. I truly cherish every opportunity to spend time with them, whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply enjoying each other's company. Being able to care for pets throughout my week is incredibly rewarding, and I love knowing that I'm providing them with the attention, comfort, and affection they deserve while giving their owners peace of mind. There's nothing more fulfilling to me than earning the trust of both pets and their families and treating every furry friend as if they were my own. Every pet is unique, with their own personality, preferences, and individual needs. I take the time to get to know each animal and am committed to providing personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet has a specific routine, dietary requirements, medication schedule, or simply needs a little extra patience and reassurance, I will do my best to accommodate their needs with compassion, attentiveness, and care. My goal is to create a calm, trusting environment where your pet feels secure and receives the same love and respect I would give my own.
About: Hi! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has been a passion of mine since seventh grade. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs, from energetic little puppies to sweet senior dogs. I understand that pets are more than just animals — they’re family! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and trustworthy hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾 My schedule is fairly flexible, allowing me to accommodate pet-sitting and dog-walking needs around working as a hairstylist at a salon. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits both of our schedules, whether you need occasional walks, drop-in visits, or care while you’re away! 🐾 I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care in your pet’s familiar environment while respecting your home, following your instructions, and keeping your furry family safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. 🤍
“Taylor did an amazing job as always with our boys, especially assisting with some medical needs one of our dogs required while traveling. Will definitely use again in the future!”
“Both of my mini Australian Shepherd's adored Colin! He was very attentive and played with them a lot! They both slept like babies after he was here for the night! We will definitely use his services again ! Our dogs went to the front door to watch him, leave and looked sad! He was well loved and very respectful at our home!”
About: Hi, my name is Bri! I just moved back to FL after recently graduating! I grew up around all kinds of animals, mainly dogs. I've always had a soft spot for dogs. I used to walk neighborhood dogs and go to animal shelters just to walk them and play with all the animals when I was younger. I am a dog mom myself to a 6 year old Border Collie Lab Mix. I understand how difficult it is to trust your pet with a stranger, but you have my promise that I will treat your dog as if he or she were my own, and that all of their needs will be met! My dog isn't easy to handle, therefore I'm always up for a challenge! My dog, Mya, has food sensitivities and is quite shy, so I'm used to dealing with these kind of situations and will do my best to assist your dog! I am currently a full-time college student, but now that majority of my courses are online I have a lot of time to play with your pups! I am free on weekdays and weekends at any time! I have a fenced backyard at my house and a crate if needed! I normally take my dog to dog parks to play with other dogs or nature trails.
“She did an amazing job watching our dogs and cat! She was very kind, caring, and thorough, and our animals took to her right away. She met with us beforehand to go over everything, which made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. I really appreciated how detailed she was with her updates, especially letting me know when the animals had been fed and keeping me informed of anything that came up. There really weren’t any issues, but on the occasions when something did come up, I appreciated that she communicated it with me rather than leaving me wondering. She was absolutely lovely to work with, and I could tell she genuinely cared about our pets. I would definitely hire her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for their animals!”
“We were able to go on vacation without worry because our animals were in good hands. Nathan took excellent care of them. When our dog became ill, he knew just what to do. It was a comfort to know our Charlie was taken care of.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Okahumpka is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $47 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.

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 Okahumpka 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 Okahumpka 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 Okahumpka 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.
