“Pris stayed in constant contact through caring for our three senior dogs. She was great with them and truly cared for them like they were her own. We'll hire Pris again in a minute when needed. Very easy to work with and nearby so it was easy for all of us.”
“Seth spent a long weekend with our pups and cat and took great care of the animals and our home. His knowledge and empathy with animals is evident in his updates and communication.”
“Raith was awesome with our three animals. Super communicative, really flexible and the animals all completely loved hanging out with them. Will definitely be booking Raith again!”
“Jessie was very communicative and did an awesome job taking care of my two dogs. She sent lots of pictures as requested and I felt that she was very capable handling my high energy boxer mix and senior mini poodle mix. She also took excellent care of the house while I was away. Highly recommend her to watch anyone’s fur babies.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs from a very early age. Starting with feeding working all my way up into the dog sitting world😂 I have a few clients I work for here in st Pete when family vacations come around! I’m pretty flexible. I’m a full time nanny M-F but with the little not being in school yet I’m pretty flexible. I start work usually around 9 and off at 5 with a 3ish hour break in the middle. I have a reliable car (2016 Honda accord) and like to be prompt and on time (sometimes a little too prompt) The care of your pets is my #1 priority. Making sure they feel as if you were home. I treat every pet with the utmost care, respect and love as if they were my own. Pets are like our children so we want what’s best for them. Pet mental health is just like our own. Knowing someone is there to make them feel safe and comfortable is what I strive towards.
“Elliana went really above and beyond with my house and animals. She left the house and critters cleaner and happier than she found them. She took care of house tasks and was so accommodating during her housesit. She gave love to Leo over the holidays and even got him a Christmas treat. She was great. She also has a history of working with animals, which is a comfort in every way.”
“This is the second time we have used Shanna for an overnight stay. She has taken great care of our two dogs, communicates effectively and has always left our home in great shape. Highly recommend!”
About: I am currently a student on break for the summer in Sarasota. I am a proud dog mom to a 4 year old bulldog, Azula. I am very good with all dogs of all ages and sizes! I am on break from school, so I am available to for dog walking or drop-ins at any time necessary. This includes weekends and holidays! I am a responsible person and have cared for many dogs in different homes. With clear instructions left, I can provide the above excellent service you want.
About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.
“Lorianne did a wonderful job housesitting and caring for our two labradors. She was punctual and sent us photo updates the whole time. We highly recommend her as we will want her to care for our dogs in the future!”
About: Dogs love me. I have always had dogs and I can "read" them, so to speak. I am extremely dependable, trustworthy and compassionate. I love to play with dogs and they love me to play with them. I have 2 papillons, and they are my best friends And my children. I have taken care of many of my friends dogs while they are away and dogs don't want to leave me. I don't have any children so I have always put all my love and care in dogs. I would love to take care of your dogs in any way I can and I'm sure you would greatly appreciate my services. I am very dependable and trustworthy. I will do what is necessary in helping
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.
About: Experience: I have had hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of various sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I have done everything from energetic puppy playtime and daily dog walking to overnight house sitting for both cats and dogs. I am incredibly comfortable reading animal body language, maintaining consistent daily routines, and adapting to the unique quirks and needs of every pet I meet. My Services (Varies as Needed): • Dog Walking: Structured, safe, and fun outdoor adventures tailored to your dog’s fitness level and energy needs. • Pet Sitting / House Sitting: Keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. Following their exact feeding and potty schedules, and keeping your home secure. • Open Communication: I know how tough it is to be away from your pets, so you can always expect timely updates, detailed summaries, and plenty of cute photo updates! I am currently a college student in St. Petersburg, but I commute from Lakewood Ranch, where I live. I do have classes Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of gaps and breaks in between my classes that would allow me to drop in. If I were doing overnight stays, I would immediately go from my campus to your location after my day was over, and if that does happen, I would be glad to send you my schedule in detail so we can further discuss logistics and times. For me, my home is just as much as my dog’s home. Usually all doors are open to allow him to traverse and lounge freely. My dog Brady has a general timeline of daily events, such as being let out, feeding, and playtime. I know that everyone has different rules and guidelines for their animals, which I will respect with the upmost importance. I would never want to put another person, or another animal in a situation of distress or unease, which is why I always follow instruction to a t, and if a situation ever arises in which I am unaware of what to do, or how to proceed, you the owner will immediately be contacted, as I would also never want to overstep and act on my own when that may not be in your, or your animals best interest.
“Jennifer dog-sat at our home for a 4 day weekend and from past stays, I didn’t even have to stress about how our dogs were doing. She takes such good care of them! We had a hiccup with access to the house and Jennifer went way out of her way to make sure she could still get access to the dogs to let them out. So grateful we found her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Samoset
Janessa was amazing! She stayed at our house with our senior dog and two cats. She sent pictures and kept us updated daily. When we returned the house was clean and in the same manor we left it and the animals were well taken care of. She followed all of our requests for tending to the animals and the house. It made for a very relaxing vacation as we did not have to worry about anything. We will use her again!
Sky was absolutely the best! After getting to my home, she kept me updated with text messages and photos. Since never having used a service like Rover, I was a little hesitant, Sky relieved all of my worries and after checking in, I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that my dog and home were in good hands. I will definitely be booking Sky for her services in the near future.
Lindsey was great with our two small dogs. When she came to the house to meet them, they instantly liked her, which isn't always the case with a lot of people. They have a mildly complicated feeding routine. Lindsey took notes and handled their mealtimes well. She was communicative throughout our 8 day trip, sending us photos and updates. Our flight was delayed coming back and she made sure to check in with us to ensure we got home and rhe dogs were OK. We highly recommend her!
Giselle dog sat my 8 year old French bulldog over the July 4th weekend. She took great care of Eddie evident by Eddie's calm demeanor when I got home. She took photos and provided updates. She changed his pee pads, took out the trash and just left my place the way she found it with care to keeps things tidy. I plan to book with her again the rest of the year.
Elliana went really above and beyond with my house and animals. She left the house and critters cleaner and happier than she found them. She took care of house tasks and was so accommodating during her housesit. She gave love to Leo over the holidays and even got him a Christmas treat. She was great. She also has a history of working with animals, which is a comfort in every way.
I'd use Shanna and her husband any time. Watched my guy for three nights at my place. Great communication -- they sent me updates after every meal and walk that he took his meds ate, peed, pooped, and photos each time. Exactly what I need to make me feel like he's being well taken care of. Five stars!

The average cost of House Sitting in Samoset is $63 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $94 per night.

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 Samoset 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 Samoset 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 Samoset 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.
