“Maureen took good care of our dog, Oakley. He really enjoyed playing fetch in the pool! Great communication and daily pictures were appreciated! She even thought to send me pics of my flowers blooming in the yard. :)”
“Mary was very good at taking care of my cat , during our trip to the uk . She was prompt at replying to my texts about how Alfie was adjusting , and kept me informed of his eating patterns . Very happy with her service .”
“Doug was absolutely fantastic. He is an excellent communicator and kept us abreast of how our girls were doing. 10/10 would absolutely have him stay with our girls in our home again.”
“We were new to Rover and had previously only had family or close friends look after our dogs when traveling. We ran into a last minute bind and needed to find someone to look after our dogs a day before we left. That’s when we were fortunate enough to get paired with Katie. From the first interaction, Katie was responsive, accommodating to our requests, and absolutely wonderful with our very co-dependent dogs. She sent us pictures and check-ins daily which truly exceeded my expectations. She took the best care of our pets while we were away and I’m truly grateful we met Katie. We will absolutely book with her in the future.”
“Sarena was absolutely amazing with our girl. She kept us updated the whole time we were away with pictures and even brought in our packages and garbage cans. She cleaned up and washed the sheets and towels as well! We would 100% ask her to watch our pets again. We’re so lucky to have found her!”
About: I have pet sit for about two years through family friends, I am reliable, responsible and fun! I enjoy helping my community with pet care! I work M-SAT, but once I am out of work I go straight to pet sitting when needed. I still fit it in my routine! I care for clients pets in their homes. I am good with their feeding schedules, as well as going on walks or outside and playing!
About: I have been a dog owner since 2018, and I have a beagle who I love so much. I am currently in Florida for school and would love to do some work while in school. I also have a cat who is very good and is okay with dogs. She will tolerate them as long as they keep their distance. She can be separated if really necessary. I can go above and beyond to care for any animal. I spoil my dog and cat like they're my own kids. I go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and am home all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus the weekends. If I were to dog/cat sit on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they wouldn't be alone; my mom would be home to take care of them as well. I have a yard but can go on walks if needed. I can offer anything that you need and will make sure they get the care they need.
“Jesse was a very conscientious pet sitter. Unfortunately, my two little dogs are not well-trained, nor well-socialized, and made a big noise whenever she entered the house. She was very good about letting me know the state of things while I was away. She did everything asked of her even though the going was rough. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.”
About: I have volunteered at pet shelters, boarded and babysat dogs, and have encountered all different types of behaviors. All of them need love and attention. I’m working part time remotely and have plenty of time to take care of pets. I am available everyday of the week to follow any schedule or routine that your pet might need. I can take pets on short or long walks, spend time with them, and adhere to any routine that your pet finds comfortable. I can keep you updated on your pets day as well.

About: I have always had dogs in my house since I was born, and everyone always relied on me to take care of their dogs whenever they would go away somewhere. I feel like i am very good with any type of dog and very loving towards every dog I come across. I love to spend time with them by just relaxing or I am a very active person and I can keep any dog active as well! I love playing with dogs and just hanging out with them in general. I will always be available to take care of your dog. I always have so much time on my hands which would go into taking care of your pup. I have a fenced in yard which would be great if they love playing. I also let them sleep on furniture and even my bed with me! Whatever you would like! If you want your dog in a crate I can crate him as well. But other than that your dog is always in good hands.
“Joy and Casey were AWESOME!!! They took such great care of my babies! Joy sent me updates the entire time, including pics and videos! I was very nervous to leave my babies with “strangers” but they made it very comfortable for me, and the dogs clearly love them both!! I will for sure be using Joy again.”

Hailee was wonderful with our disabled dog. It’s very hard to leave him, but I felt so confident that Hailee was taking good care of him & he looked happy in the photos she sent. Excellent communication & our house was spotless on our return. I will definitely book Hailee again soon!
Shawn took great care of my pets and house. The house was in excellent condition when we returned. Our animals were happy to see us but I could tell they were well taken care of while we were gone. Shawn would send us pictures of them while we were gone so we knew they were ok. I would definitely rebook him.
Meredith was wonderful with our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She was so attentive — we never worried for a second. The pictures and videos she sent kept us smiling the whole trip, and it was obvious the dogs were happy and comfortable with her. We'd definitely book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares. Thank you, Meredith!
Stephanie was an amazing sitter for my two large dogs! She took the time to meet them a few times beforehand so I could make sure my older dog was comfortable, which I really appreciated. While I was away, she walked them multiple times a day, kept the house tidy, and sent me updates with photos and videos throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were so well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Victoria was fantastic! Stayed over on a holiday weekend and was great at staying in contact, sending pictures, and taking care of my babies! One of my dogs is a bit more high maintenance and she handled her wonderfully. I would definitely recommend Victoria and we will be contacting her again for future trips!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oldsmar is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $98 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Oldsmar 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 Oldsmar 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 Oldsmar 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
