“Bryanna is fantastic! We’ve never felt so relieved in knowing that we have a person we can fully trust and rely on with our pups. We have a senior dog and a puppy. That combo can be a bit overwhelming, but Bryanna was able to handle them effortlessly. We know we will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I haven’t had dogs and cats. I have experience with special needs cats, currently have a tripod and one with asthma. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals when the need arises. As for dogs… well, they can’t speak, so the obvious form of communication is belly rubs ;) As the son of a Veterinary I have been exposed to all types of animals and situations my entire life and given the opportunity I am confident I can manage all of your fur baby’s needs! I currently have a flexible schedule which allows me the freedom to work around your needs. Rather it is a daily walk, feeding, park play, or house sitting for date night or a getaway I have you covered. I am currently offering services at your home as to accommodate all of your fur baby’s daily routines and needs whenever the need arises.
“Jasmine was everything you want in a puppy sitter. She is kind, compassionate & loves your dog as her own! Chloe took to her immediately and vise versa. She listened attentively as we discussed Chloe & her Adisons. We felt very comfortable leaving Chloe in her care for a few hours while we enjoyed an afternoon out. I wouldn't hesitate to use Jasmine again or recommend her (& Rover!)”
“Once again Kassandra has exceeded our expectations. She is thoughtful, kind and takes care of our fur princess and home as if they were her own. She sends us pictures and updates several times a day. She checks in to make sure we've returned after a flight so there is no question about our pet being alone for an unexpected amount of time. Thank you Kassandra for being a very special part of our family.”
About: I've had dogs since I was a little kid. I have always had my own dogs and I have fostered several dogs over the year. I have owned cats just don't have any right now. And I have owned exotic birds and currently own an Amazon parrot. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me with their furry children over several years. I love learning more about the dogs and teaching them tricks. It is an amazing experience to see how they develop. I currently work full time from home, and only have to go into the office every other Wednesday. I have plenty of time for multiple breaks for walks. I have two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I currently do not have a crate in the house. I am okay with your dog sleeping on the couch or bed.
“Alyssa is truly amazing. She responds nearly immediately every time, she sends updates and photos. I felt so comfortable with her at my home from the start, and my dogs got the best care. I am so blessed to have been connected with Alyssa. She noticed the smallest nick on my male bulldog (he is crazy and bangs his body up on everything, she’s at zero fault) she immediately sent me photos and was concerned as if it was her own. She went above and beyond, cleaning her room, areas she was in and her bathroom. I am 100% booking again!!”
“Kelli was fantastic. Easy to work with, great communication, SO sweet and clearly a true animal person. My three dogs LOVE her and I'm so happy to have found someone trustworthy and so kind to care for them and my home while I travel. Highly recommend!!!”
“Another wonderful sitting with our cat Hope and Janicia! Hope is a very needy cat, that craves company and gets stressed without human interaction. I appreciate that Janicia was able to stay with her for two weeks during the December holidays. We came home to stressed free cat!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I’ve always been very hands-on with the pet care at home. I am a trusted pet babysitter amongst my family. I value the pet’s mental health and happiness especially while their owner is away. I am a part-time college student, and I work at a catering company with a highly flexible schedule, so I can work around your needs. I try to encourage a stress free environment by sticking to your pet’s normal routine while you’re away, making sure that they’re happy and healthy, as they would be under your own care.
“Sharon was amazing with my nervous, reactive dog! She was so patient and calm, and it really showed—my pup was relaxed and happy when I got home. I’m so grateful to have found someone who really understands dogs like this. Highly recommend!”
“Kristen was a delight to work with , she kept me up to date on the progress of my dogs while I was away. She paid attention to detail of instructions I left , she was prompt and I appreciate her loving care for Roscoe and Lula , if you need a sitter you can count on her , thank you Kristen and thank you Rover”
“Perfection! My dogs were well taken care of and all instructions were followed perfectly. I received a lot of photos and updates which I appreciate. I highly recommend her services, 10/10 dog sitter!”
“Shana is a gem. She stayed in my home with "the kids" for 4 days. My senior dog and my 2 cats were all well cared for and loved on. She also sent periodic updates and pics, which helped put my mind at ease while away. When I came home, everything was clean, and the floofs were all happy. Thanks so much, Shana!!”
“Sam is amazing! One of my dogs is extremely anxious and Sam took the time to gain her trust, which really put me at ease. She did a few drop ins prior to the house sitting which really helped get the dogs used to her. She took great care of all three dogs and my house while I was on vacation. I will definitely book with her whenever I travel.”
“Bree was an excellent dog and house sitter! Everything went very smoothly!! She is knowledgeable and a happy person and great communicator! Loved all the pictures she sent! We will definitely hire her again, if she is available at our next mini-vacation time!!! Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❣️”
“Sherry is the best. She keeps us informed. She sends pictures and comments as to how the girls are doing. If they have eaten all their food or if something unusual occurred. We have used her several times and won’t use anyone else now. Our girls seem happy to see her every time.”
About: Hi! My name is Krystal and I’ve had pets my entire life. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. At the moment I offer Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking only. I’m located in Spring Hill, FL and usually require bookings 24–48 hours in advance, though I’m happy to help with last-minute requests if my schedule allows. During visits I make sure pets get the attention and care they’re used to at home. This includes feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning cat litter boxes, and spending quality time with them so they don’t feel alone. I also send photos, videos, and detailed notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m comfortable working with pets that require special care or medication, including diabetic pets that need insulin. For dogs that need to burn energy, I offer walks ranging from about 0.5 to 2.5 miles, usually scheduled early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the Florida heat. For longer bookings (about 7 days or more), I like to spend extra time during visits whenever possible so pets get additional attention and companionship, always with the owner’s permission. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I work as a graphic designer from my home so I'm able to watch over your pets at all times and even do long term drop in checks on pets, and Pet Walking services. We have an unfenced home, but very big yard. I leave my dogs to roam, as they already know how far they can go. As for other pets, I’d walk them and keep them on leash if we are to spend some outside time

FAQs for House Sitting - Shady Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shady Hills on Rover is $42 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,268 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shady Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Shady Hills 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 Shady Hills 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 Shady Hills 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shady Hills. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
