“Kelly took great care of my cat, Luna, and was also incredibly thoughtful about making sure my apartment was taken care of while I was gone, too! I got lots of photos and videos as updates while I was gone, which made it possible for me to actually relax and enjoy my vacation.”
“Christine house sat for our 2 dachshunds and was wonderful! She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how clean and well cared for our home was when we returned. She even cleaned the linens, which was very thoughtful and one less thing we had to worry about when we returned. It was also so sweet to hear how much she enjoyed spending time with our pups. We would definitely recommend her and would choose her to dog sit for us again in the future!”
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a child and loved helping others to take care of their pets. I'm addition to that, I have been a dog foster for a local dog rescue in the past. Your pets and their safety is my first priority. I take care of them as they are my own. I will send frequent photo updates and detailed report cards during every visit. I'm currently not working so I can give your pet almost constant attention and care. Your pet will rarely be left alone, and I can easily stick to their feeding, walking and medication routines. I am available for frequent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I have a very flexible schedule and I will follow your instructions on keeping your pet safe and comfortable. I will provide fresh food and clean water on a strict daily schedule. I will wash food and water bowls regularly. I am available to walk dogs at least three times a day (or more) or let them out safely. I am available to clean indoor cat litter boxes during every visit. I will keep doors, windows, and gates securely locked to prevent escapes. I can also handle extra household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and alternating lights, if requested.
““Aunt” Claudette and “Uncle” Will were amazing with Bella! Claudette took a chance on us very last minute, and I could not have been happier with the love and care Bella received! They got to know her personality very quickly, and treated her like one of their own! I would not hesitate to book Claudette again and hope future opportunities arise 😊”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve had pets since I was a little girl, and I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, one is 6 years old and the other is 4. I’ve also cared for my neighbors’ dogs and cats, and I’ve even had experience caring for chameleons! My love for animals goes beyond simply having pets. I studied veterinary medicine for three years, and although I ultimately chose a different path, the knowledge and love for animals have stayed with me. I’m comfortable with everyday pet care, including feeding, walks, bathing, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. I’m a stay-at-home mom to my two-year-old daughter, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time doing something I genuinely enjoy. For me, Rover is a wonderful opportunity to turn something I truly love into a rewarding experience while providing pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, a visit, or a comfortable home away from home, I’d be happy to care for them like one of my own.❤️ As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine without leaving pets alone for long periods of time. For boarding, I can be home with your pet throughout the day, with time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I can also accommodate regular walks and drop-in visits depending on your pet’s needs and my family’s schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My family and I love having pets around, and I’m excited to make caring for animals a meaningful part of my routine while giving pet parents peace of mind that their pets are in loving hands. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a one-story home with no stairs and a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs a safe space to enjoy some fresh air and play. My two French Bulldogs are very friendly and used to being around other dogs and pets. When caring for a pet in my home, I make sure they are supervised, comfortable, and treated with patience and love. I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and anything else your pet may need. When caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow your pet’s normal routine, and keep a close eye on them throughout my visit. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention while they’re with me. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for them! I’m a proud Labrador owner and have experience caring for cats and many other dogs, big and small. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going for a walk, getting some playtime, or enjoying extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat your pets like my own! I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your schedule. I strive to be reliable and consistent so your pets can enjoy a familiar routine while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining their normal routines. I follow all feeding instructions, make sure they have fresh water, provide walks or playtime as needed, and give them plenty of love and attention. For cats, I also make sure litter boxes stay clean and respect their individual personalities and space. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are in good hands!
“Mariah was great with our 2 large dogs. She kept me updated with times they walked, how long she had to be gone for (which we talked about ahead of time and I was absolutely comfortable with), and provided pictures. I came home to a perfectly clean home and most importantly two very happy dogs. Definitely keeping Mariah on our short list for future sittings.”
About: I have had animals of all kind my whole life. My father raised and trained German Shepards when I was young so I was around dogs from birth. I’ve raised dog, goats, cows and donkeys. IAnd then at least one to two dogs have been in my home as a part of our family. I’ve traveled a lot and had to have my own sitters so I know how important is to feel comfortable with where my babies are and who they are with. I promise to treat your baby as if it were my own❤️ I currently work 4 days a week so I am very flexible Friday through Sunday. Monday through Thursday are very doable as well. Just let me know! I have a fenced in yard and a very large dog friendly home. We have 4 very small dogs who get along very well with others.
“Grace was great watching my two Yorkies. I was worried because one is very small only 4 pounds and I’ve never left her with anyone yet. They both were very happy everything worked out well. Grace did a great job caring for them. I hope she can watch them again soon. 🐶🌺”
About: Hello, I’m Sarah and I would love to care for your pets. I have always loved animals and know your pet would feel that the second we meet. I would love to be with your pet whether it’s to sit them, go for walks or have over nights together so you’re able to do what you need or want to do and can relax knowing they are in great hands and having fun! I’ve grown up around dogs and I’ve had two cats in the past as well so I understand what their needs or wants are and can most certainly supply them with the proper care they deserve. I would gladly send photos or videos if you’d like so you can see what we are up to. I’m very trusting.
About: I grew up caring for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs, and even rescued squirrels! My dad was a certified animal rescuer, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. 🐾 I’ve been professionally dog sitting for about 5 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from Great Danes to small dogs, as well as puppies still potty training and senior dogs needing medications or special diets. My own pup, Mary, is an 8 lb Pomeranian! I love taking dogs on walks, keeping them active, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I currently work full-time in Sarasota, typically 8–9 hours a day, so I would be away during my workday Monday–Friday. I’m able to take a lunch break for a midday potty break if the home is within about 20 minutes of my workplace, and depending on the pet’s needs and the situation, I may be able to adjust my schedule when planned in advance. I’m available to stay overnight and will be with your pets before and after work, and I’m much more flexible on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s routine and needs are well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow their feeding schedule, provide fresh water, give medications if needed, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I also owned a cleaning business and regularly cared for the pets of my cleaning clients. This gave me years of experience being trusted in people’s homes. I’m respectful of your space, will clean up after myself and your pets, and will leave your home neat and the way I found it. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

“She did amazing with our pups and house. Daily updates with pictures and she stayed in communication throughout the day. I already booked her again for another trip and would highly recommend her to take care of your pets. Thanks Aspen!”
“Victoria was fantastic to work with. We had a last minute sitter cancel and she accepted our last minute request. Then we had a delayed flight and she stayed an extra night. We received daily updates on our pooch and had no worries about him while we were gone. Highly recommend!”

Kelly is amazing. Was very impressed from the first meeting as she brought a list of questions (and some that showed that she has experience with dogs & behavioral quirks like our boy). We loved the updates and could tell our Gus was very comfortable with her. Would definitely book Kelly again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Parrish is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $96 per night.

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 Parrish 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 Parrish 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 Parrish 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 Parrish. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
