“Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful with Turbo! Leaving him behind when we go away is never easy, but she made us feel so comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was so sweet, caring, and attentive, and it was clear that Turbo was happy and comfortable with her. It means so much to find someone who genuinely loves animals and treats your dog like their own. Being able to enjoy our time away knowing Turbo was being loved and cared for gave us such peace of mind. We’re so thankful we found Mackenzie and will absolutely be having her watch Turbo again. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Marie was fantastic! Very attentive in advanced and ask lots of questions to provide the best care for my dog. She communicated consistently and without me requesting throughout her entire stay with him! I would highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!”
About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.
About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life and can't imagine my home without them. Animals give us unconditional love, and they deserve the same in return. I have given IV treatments to ailing cats with kidney damage and experience with dispersing meds/pills by mouth. I will treat all your loved ones with the same care that I provide my own. I am retired; I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. I am happy to feed, water and clean pet areas as part of my home visits. I will scoop litter boxes as well. I take their health seriously and fresh water/food is a very important part of staying healthy. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.
“Mariah is amazing - she was great with our dogs and birds, keeping them happy and sending us pictures daily. She also dealt with unexpected maintenance issues and kept everything going until our return. We hope to have her come again for our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Alexys is so sharp!! She was really attentive to the special needs of our older babies. She is great with communication. Kept us informed consistently while we were gone. I felt very at ease this trip. I knew my girls were in good hands!!! I will definitely rebook her again!!”
About: I've taken care of pets for over 50 years and have had the pleasure of raising 5 Golden Retrievers. My oldest girl, Savannah lived an amazing life for 16 years. I've also raised 2 pekingese. I'm the one my friends call when they need a sitter. That will be decided during our original meeting depending on what you feel is best for your animals. I'm open to what you feel is best. I will take care of and love on your fur babies while you are gone. I will also be more than glad to send you photos.
“Emily is amazing!! She took care of both our very senior and puppy at our home and did a top notch job! It’s so nice to be able to go out of town and know our fur babies are safe and having a great time!”
“Riley stayed with my dogs for boarding at my place. I came home to two happy pups. Riley was easy to communicate with, left the space tidy, and kept me updated. Would definitely book again!”
About: Lifelong compassionate caregiver of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, with a spectrum of temperaments and needs. I’m detail-oriented, patient, communicative and very reliable. Queer folks and women first 🌈🐾 Horses, goats, etc welcome too! I work part-time remote. My schedule bends to the needs of your pets with plenty of room for flexibility once our working relationship is established. Frequent yard time and walks. Experienced with senior care, medications (including injections), patience for puppies, and love for all canines and cats! I like to engage my animal clients with talk, play and engagement exercises …or cuddles and relaxation when they’re older or chronically ill.
About: Many years of pet care experience by caring for my own dogs and cats and those of friends and family. I have cared for indoor and outdoor cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, and hamsters. I have cared for 3 litters of kittens and a litter of puppies too. I am a senior looking forward to retirement. I am responsible and trustworthy. I am currently working full-time weekdays but do have time after work and on weekends to care for your pets. I will also be retiring within the next year and am looking forward to having more time to devote to my passions. I would enter your home and immediately take your pup for a good walk and play time, then maybe a good brushing. I would make sure your fur babies all have fresh water and fresh food complete with any meds that might be needed. If any litter boxes need cleaning, I will happily take care of that and refill it. I can sit and play with them or just snuggle them for a bit before I am sure all is well and secure before I leave. If you rather have me stay in your home overnight, I am willing to do that also. Just let me know what you need. I want you to be secure in knowing your babies are well taken care of while you are gone.
“Angelina was great with our cats. Everything requested was done and the cats were happy and well taken care of. Additionally she sent us pictures while we were away. Definitely recommend”
“Savannah recently house sat and took care of our two dogs. She was quick to respond, made time to come do a meet and greet and followed thru on taking exceptional care of them. She provided daily photos/updates and gave us comfort knowing our dogs were in great hands while we traveled. We will definitely be reaching out to Savannah again for future dog sitting.”
About: I am genuinely devoted to help you out as much as possible, I am very understanding in different needs for different for babies.

About: I have lived with animals my whole life; from chickens, cats, emus, dogs, etc. I can accommodate special needs and will always treat your animals as my own - with love and respect! I am tolerant of behavioral issues, shy animals, and animals with disorders or disabilities. I’ve been taught to take care and provide for animals my whole life. I’ve grown up with a wide variety of dog breeds, from Pit-Bulls, Beagles, Huskies, Shih Tzus, Rat Tarriers, Dachshunds, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I am available most of the time, and keep my calendar detailed so I can share with you what days I’m available months in advance! I spend most of my time in Alachua, Gainesville, & Branford but can accommodate longer distances with longer stays. Most weekends I am free, and I can easily do drop-in visits nearby! I care for each animal based on the owners needs and requests. I appreciate having a heads up on your pets typical behaviors and habits, and any “rules” you may like them to follow.

The average cost of House Sitting in Putnam Hall is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $42 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 Putnam Hall 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 Putnam Hall 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 Putnam Hall 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.
