“Mia is so sweet! She has a calming presence and she loves animals. She took good care of our pets and our house. She even was so kind and helpful when our dogs wouldn’t eat for her, she made scrambled eggs for them! We’d definitely book with Mia again❤️”
“Billie is definitely one of my favorite rover sitters to date! She was highly responsive during the booking/meet and greet process and very communicative throughout the duration of the stay. We received multiple updates a day with multiple photos which definitely put us at ease since one of our dogs can sometimes shut down a little while we are away. Billie did great with both of our dogs and even the one who typically hides while we are gone was a big fan - he was out and social most of the stay. Billie also left our house immaculate. Cannot give her enough praise, will definitely look to book more of our sittings with Billie in the future.”
“Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.”
“Kelsie was an amazing dog watcher! She took care of our fur baby exactly as we had asked her to, even gave her medication that was prescribed by the vet. Kelsie also left our house exactly the way she found it. Will 100% book her again!”
“This is the second booking we have done with Bethany this year. She communicates well, send pics and video, and has done well buddying up with one of our reluctant dogs.”
“Ronny was incredibly attentive to our pets and patient with our dog. We have a dog that is not very trusting of new humans and Ronny took the time to work with him and earn his trust! He was attentive on giving us updates on how our dog was doing and how the rest of the animals were doing. 10/10 will book again 😊”
About: I am new to professional dog walking but have personal experience with many different type of dog breeds and personalities. I am comfortable with large and small dog breeds, and I am dedicated to working with your dog if they are still unsure of walks or excitable! I am a stay at home mom and have availability throughout the days and evenings besides short periods of when I take my fiancé to his classes. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines, respecting their personalities, and making sure they have plenty of attention and care suited to their needs. I will follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and other daily needs. I understand that some pets love extra cuddles and attention, while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to respect those boundaries. I’ll keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their furry family members are in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away!
“Hannah was fantastic! She took very good care of my two fur babies. She was a great communicator as well. There was a little glitch with her ability to get into my house, and Hannah remained calm and figured out the situation before I even had a chance to respond to her text. I highly recommend Hannah!”
“Louis was great with our high energy Labs he sat with for the week.They were always happy in the pictures he sent . House and yard were just as we left it. Thanks Louis for a amazing job!”
“Heather and Spencer did a great job! We received constant updates! They both are so friendly and took such great care of our pups. We would hire them again for sure!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. I’m very knowledgeable about all types of pups and genuinely adore them all. My wife won’t let me have a dog yet so I would love your pet like it were my own! Please let me hangout with your dog 😇 My free time is mainly during the evenings and on the weekends while my wife is at work. So I would love to fill that time in the company of some furry friends! I abide by house rules, I am fun and playful. If permitted - I love to take them for walks and am super affectionate and loving.
“Tabbz was amazing! She helped us out with a last minute booking so we could attend family birthdays out of state. She was wonderful with our girl Athena and her special needs and schedule! She went above and beyond for us! Knowing how worried we were leaving our girl, she sent photos and videos every day and made sure everything was good. Athena absolutely loves her and is currently sulking because her friend left lol We can't thank you enough and will definitely be booking with you again!”
“Katie-Marie was wonderful! We entrusted her to not only care for our dogs but our house as well. She did an excellent job - taking care of our dogs, getting our mail, watering my plants. We were so happy to see pics of the dogs and we allowed her to bring her doggie as well, who played and played with our golden. We are going on vacation again and will be requesting her return again.”
About: I've had cats since I was 2. Then we got a dog when I was 10. I take him for walks and throw a ball in the yard for him too play. I did go to my friend's house and take care of their dog while on vacation. I bathe and feed him and everything else. I also watched my grandma's dog when she went on vacation. I work Monday-Friday 7am-3pm. I have weekends off. If I have a baby sitter I wouldn't mind doing a weekend shift and a night shift We have a fenced in yard. They have food and water at all times. We have lots of toys for them to play with. We play all the time.
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and cats, eventually I started working at a Pet sitting company. I love the pets special habits or tricks Have taken some basic dog training classes. I have a hybrid job that allows me to do long-term stays! I have required meetings on Tuesday morning, but otherwise have a super flexible schedule. I am not available on Saturdays or Sundays. I am not able to board at my home due to a lack of space, but my job allows me to spend full time looking after your pet. I can do check-ins or long stays if your pet needs a companion. I understand the importance of following the pet's routine.

The average cost of House Sitting in Safe Harbor is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $55 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 Safe Harbor 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 Safe Harbor 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Safe Harbor 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.
