About: I have had rescues dogs and cats all my life. I have administered medicine, cared for both puppies and senior dogs. I understand the importance of establishing trust with them. I work from home so I am always around during the day and can accommodate as many potty and zoomie breaks as needed! I have a very flexible schedule so I can work around your schedule needs. Just let me know your care preference - walking, play time or just loving on your fur baby! I currently have a rescue that needs special care... he is diabetic and is not fond of hot afternoons so his schedule is tailored to both the weather and his needs!

“Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!”

“I highly recommend Jacqueline! From start to finish she did everything she said she would and more. She took excellent care of our sweet fur baby and sent us many pics and updates while we were gone. AND She took excellent care of our home and plants. Its so hard to feel comfortable with someone staying in your home, but with Jacqueline it was really easy! Book Her! You won't regret it.”

“If you are going out of town and want the absolute best dog sitter by a landslide - pick Eni. We went out of town for 4 nights and she took photos and chatted with us multiple times a day to check in. I cannot say enough, honestly. I have never felt so assured and confident that everything with my dog and home would be in fantastic hands. Will book her again every time.”

“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”

About: hey! 🐾 My name is Hannah and I’m 26 years old. I am an animal lover with a background in psychology and animal behavior. I currently work as a Registered Behavioral Technician for kiddos with behavioral needs in Sarasota County Schools and often volunteer as a dog walker at Suncoast Humane Society! I love getting to know every dog’s unique personality, whether they’re playful puppies, energetic adults, shy pups who need a little extra patience, or sweet seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and enjoy providing walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and companionship. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart thanks to my soul dog, Sparkie, who passed away in 2024 at 16 years old. ❤️ Caring for him through his senior years gave me personal experience supporting dogs with arthritis, chronic pain, and mobility limitations. I’m happy to provide that same patience and thoughtful care to any dog who needs a little extra attention! I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet with love, respect their routine, follow your instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pup is in caring, attentive hands! **Availability 🗓️** I’m fully available on weekends and available for weekday walks Monday–Friday after 4 PM. Have a special request or need a different time? Feel free to message me! I’m happy to discuss exceptions and find a time that works for you and your pup. 🐶❤️ I am entirely free on Saturday and Sunday. M-F I am available after 4 pm. This is subject to change, please message with requests. From personal experience, I can empathize that leaving our furry friends can be an intimidating experience. However, I will do everything in my power to give your pet the same love, attention, and care that you would. I will actively communicate with you and ensure that my quality of care is nothing short of exceptional.

About: I have a long history of pet care, and have extensive experience with the Shar Pei breed. I have owned Shar Pei's for over 25yrs and have done some rescue work with them as well. I have owned cats and dogs my entire life. I have experience with dogs that may need extra care such as meds or extra attention. Can't imagine life without them they just bring such a joy into our lives. You can have confidence in knowing while I'm taking care of your pet I will treat, and love them as my own. I know how hard it is to find the right person to take care of your pets, and will take the best of care of your 🐾🐾babies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I intentionally structure my schedule to ensure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets are never left unattended for long periods. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I maintain a reliable and flexible schedule to meet each pet’s needs. My goal is to provide dependable, routine-based care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident knowing their pets are a priority. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I prioritize building trust by following the pet’s normal routine, maintaining a clean and secure space, and ensuring constant supervision and care. I’m mindful of each pet’s temperament, dietary needs, and any special instructions, and I take precautions such as secure doors, leash use, and hazard-free surroundings to keep them safe at all times. My goal is to create a comfortable, low-stress environment where pets feel cared for, protected, and at ease while their owners are away.

About: I volunteered at a grooming shop for two years, taking care of dogs and cats. My responsibilities included cleaning, taking them out for potty breaks, feeding them, playing with them, and ensuring they felt comfortable and loved. Currently, I have my own two dogs, a chihuahua miniature pincher mix named Vixey and pitbull terrier mix named Scrappy. I would love to care for your special needs pets, seniors, or any other animals. I can also babysit them overnight and take them for walks of up to three miles. If you need me to drop in to feed them, take them out for potty breaks, or just play with them, I’m available to help! I promise they will receive plenty of love and attention. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I am currently seeking employment opportunities while dedicating my time to animal care, which is my passion. I am available for pet services Monday through Friday, and I am prepared to assist with walking, feeding, and engaging with your pets as needed. I am also open to providing late-night pet sitting services. Please feel free to reach out if you have specific requirements for your pets; I am committed to delivering quality care. I will make certain that the pets have ample access to the fenced backyard, allowing them plenty of opportunities for potty breaks and playtime in a safe environment. During their stay, I will provide appropriate feeding based on their dietary needs and offer plenty of affection and companionship to keep them comfortable and happy. It’s important to note that while I deeply care for the pets, I do not offer house-sitting services at my own residence. Instead, I am fully available to provide house-sitting services at the client’s home, ensuring that their pets are well-cared for in a familiar setting.

“Sophia did a good job watching our fur babies. We have four; two dogs and two cats so it can be a bit overwhelming especially because three of them take medication. My only concern was that she didn’t seem to interact with them very much; no cuddling and rubbings with the dogs. I guess when they’re big dogs and you don’t really know them, it’s for your safety…but I would’ve liked to have seen her more involved with them. She did send us pictures and if she had a question, she contacted us.”

About: I have three dogs that are full of energy and have had multiple pets ever since I was a child! I dont have any children of my own and consider my pets as my children 😊 I understand the concern of wanting your pets to be watched by someone you can trust who will communicate with you effectively and care for them as if they are their own pet. I currently work full time as a pharmacy technician but I am available in the morning or after work for walks/ pet care. I also am normally off weekends and can work around schedules as needed. I am flexible to any needed care/ accommodations needed to take care of your pet and can also dispense medication to them if needed. I will make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.

About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.

“Elaine was an absolute lifesaver for us! Last minute, she stepped in with kindness and genuine love for both our mini Bernedoodle and kitten, making our first time away from them so much easier. She stayed right in our home, creating a cozy and familiar environment that kept our fur babies calm and happy. Throughout the day, we received adorable photos and thoughtful updates that truly put our minds at ease. If you’re a pet owner on the hunt for an amazing sitter, look no further—Elaine is the one you want! Her care went above and beyond, and it was clear she treated our pets like her own. We’re beyond grateful and can’t wait to have Elaine back again—such a wonderful, heartwarming experience all around!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rotonda

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Rotonda 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 Rotonda 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 Rotonda 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
