“Noah is the best!! We had a friend cancel on us and he came through last minute to house and pet sit. It was our first time booking on Rover and we were a tad nervous to leave our pets and house with someone we didn't know, but were so at ease once we met him. Our pets loved him and he left our house in perfect shape. 10/10 recommend booking him!”
“She took great care of my pup, like it was her own, will definitely book her again, communication was great, updates were given frequently and very respectful of my home with the overnight stay, thank you”
“Madison did a fantastic job watching our 3 dogs while we were on vacation. She provided us with daily updates and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. I highly recommend Madison and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Tishara was amazing!!! Our dogs absolutely love her! She did an amazing job taking care of our pups and our home. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!!! She went above and beyond to make it vacation stress-free. 10/10”
About: For 15+ years, I have house sat with animals for friends and around the neighborhood! I have a lot of experience with going for walks, giving meditation, feeding/water, and even giving baths! I currently have three dogs right now! I currently work overnights and I seem to have a ton of energy for the first few hours of the morning when I get off. I’d love to use that energy for good! I’m available for any and all pet care from 9am-7pm everyday! I have a fenced in gate with a great yard for my three small dogs. Just to keep order and the occasional accident in one area, they have “cages” (it’s kind of hidden as an entertainment center) with tons of bedding! They are on a daily feeding routine with vitamins in the morning! In the evening after dinner about 3 times a week I take all three on a walk around my neighborhood!
“We could not have asked for a better sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and our home, and her communication was outstanding. We received so many updates throughout our time away, which gave us complete peace of mind. She followed instructions perfectly and truly went above and beyond—washing and folding linens, tidying up, and making sure everything was left spotless. Most importantly, our pups were clearly well cared for, loved, and happy. It was obvious she treated our home and our dogs as if they were her own. We would absolutely trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and detail-oriented sitter.”
“Sam was absolutely wonderful with my two Sharpei dogs. They are very much personality wise within the breed characteristics and are suspicious by nature and very shy. Sam knows his animals and did a fantastic job with working with them to make them comfortable. He stayed with them and made sure they were comfortable and came and let them out on his lunchbreak the day we were arriving home so they were not alone all day. He went above and beyond taking care of them. One is a pup with a bit of separation anxiety as I work from home so they are not alone often at all. I will definitely use Sam again for my pets needs. This was so much better of an experience for them than being kenneled somewhere and they would have been scared and lonely. Thank you Sam for everything and I will be recommending Rover to all my friends. It was great to get the updates daily to know that my babies were doing ok. Fantastic experience.”
About: I grew up on a farm, so taking care of animals has always been love of mine! I have experience with large and small dogs. I am currently a full-time student at UWF. I am free anytime after 2:30p on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and my weekends are completely open! I will follow any and all guidelines or boundaries that an owner may set for their home, yard, and neighborhood while I take care of their baby!
“Dianne was amazing with our doggies. The dogs warmed up to her and loved all the playtime. They probably doesn’t want us to come home. Great updates throughout the stay and she went above and beyond.”
“Tess took wonderful care of our 4-year-old Havanese in our home for two days. Having Tess taking care of Murphy allowed us to relax during our time away. She consistently communicated by sending updates with pictures.”
“Kristi does such an amazing job with our fur baby Lexi. Not only does Lexi look forward to their time together but we know we can completely trust kristi with the most important member of our family. Daily updates questions and thoughtfulness. If you need someone to love your dog as their own you have found the right person. We can’t wait for the next booking !”
“So greatful for the cafe Marissa gave our dogs while we were gone. We left at 4am to the airport so it made me nervous having her show up after we left but the moment she got to our home she texted us and just did and amazing job with our boys. Thanks Marissa!!! We will definitely be asking her to sit again!!”
About: Hi, I'm Nicole! :) For over a decade, I’ve dedicated myself to caring for animals, including spending the last 5 years running my pet care business full-time in South Florida. I recently moved back home to Pensacola to be closer to family, and I’m so excited to bring my services back to the community! As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve personally owned and adored four Beagles, a Great Dane, two ferrets, and many cats and fish. I even lived with an African Grey parrot who sang to me daily, mimicked my voice, and absolutely loved dogs. My own soul beagle lived to be 19, spending 18 beautiful years by my side, so providing compassionate, specialized care for senior animals is deeply personal to me. Because of this background, I am completely comfortable with pets of every shape, size, and need. My experience ranges from standard dogs and cats of all ages to unique family members like goats, turtles, pheasants, chickens, turkeys, exotic birds, and reptiles. I am also experienced in managing complex medical conditions, administering medications, and I'm Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. I pride myself on sending consistent & detailed photo updates, strictly following your pet’s daily routine for their comfort, and keeping your home safe, secure, and spotless while you're away. I find no greater honor than being trusted with your beloved besties. Please reach out if I can help you! I operate my pet care business full-time, which means my daily routine completely revolves around the needs of the animals in my care. Rather than juggling a rigid corporate schedule, I’ve structured my life so that I am fully available to maintain your pet's precise feeding, medication, and exercise schedules exactly when they need me, with plenty of built-in flexibility to accommodate whatever unexpected updates or timing changes pop up on your end! I specialize exclusively in care within your pet's familiar environment. For house sitting, I provide a dedicated 12 to 14 hour block of evening to morning companionship, keeping your pets safe and your home secure overnight. For daytime needs (whether as an addition to an overnight stay or as a standalone request), I offer scheduled drop-in visits and walks. Every visit concludes with a thorough home safety check and a detailed photo update with journal for total peace of mind.
“Sylvia did fantastic with my two kitties and a senior dog! She went above and beyond and walked Cooper and provided lots of happy photos. He warmed up to her quickly and I’m sure we’ll be using her for future bookings!”
“Bo is an absolute blessing to me and my babies! She stayed at my house for 3 nights and kept me updated with photos. She was very responsive. I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I would absolutely recommend Bo, the dog whisperer! We love her!!”
“Julie was amazing! She did a wonderful job with our cats, sent great pics and communicated daily. She went above and beyond, confirming that we had actually landed and made home. We will absolutely use her again! We came home to very happy cats!”
“Catherine did a fantastic job caring for our dog (Toby) and 2 cats (Boomer and Starbuck). Toby is very nervous when separated from his Mom, yet Toby quickly warmed up to Catherine and treated her like an adopted parent! Boomer and Starbuck received the best care with visits, pets, and brushing. We were very happy to not have any worries while we were away. Highly recommend and will certainly book again!”
“Debbie is the absolute best! She watched our two dachshunds for the weekend. When we came back they were relaxed and we definitely knew they were well taken care of. She sent pictures, and followed their routine. We will definitely use Debbie in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pace
We had an excellent experience with our house sitter. They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of both our home and pets while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind throughout the stay. Our pets were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we returned, and our home was left clean and in great condition. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.
Michael was absolutely phenomenal ! I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone for dog sitting. I received photos of all the dogs going on walks and playing with a frisbee in the backyard all the days we were gone. Thea, our rescue, was abused before she was adopted and she warmed up to him very quickly and was included in all activities the two other dogs were doing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pace is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $59 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. 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 Pace 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 Pace 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 Pace 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pace. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
