“Caitlyn went above and beyond with our pets. We were able to rest assured that they were in good hands. She was also willing to help us last minute and we couldn't have asked for more.”
“She is the best kept secret in Rover world! She has become our dogs' Fairy Dog Mother! Here are some highlights of the care she provides: 1. very attentive to your dogs' needs and really gets to know them and love them. 2. She follows instructions very carefully and if she has any questions, she is quick to ask 3. She takes the dogs on outings and sends lots of photos 4. She is a fabulous communicator and full of humor! Every day, she sends a comprehensive report of the activities and behaviors of the dogs. 5. She keeps your house clean and tidy and respects your personal belongings and privacy.”
“Priya was wonderful with Coconut. She sent pictures of him every time she was at the house and kept us updated every day about all his eating and other activities. She went above and beyond to make sure our first time using a house sitter was a great experience. Her love for animals shows as she cared for our 17-year-old puppy. Meals and meds where on schedule and Coconut even cuddled with her in the evening. Thank you, Priya for care and support while we were away.”
“Amy was great with our senior dog and took great care of the house while we were away for a long weekend. We came home to a happy pup and the house was spotless. Her communication throughout the trip was great - we will absolutely be using Amy again.”
“Cathleen was great. She watched Otis for 6.5 hours in our home while we went to an event. Felt comfortable with having Cathleen in our home and very comfortable with her watching Otis. We will book Cathleen for our next event!”
“Diana was wonderful watching Barney for a house sit when I was out of town for a few days. She provided very frequent updates with pictures and my home was in the same condition if not nearer than when I left..”
“Colleen did an excellent job taking care of our 3 Beagle fur babies! Each pup has a unique personality and she gave them each the attention they needed. They all ate while we were gone which was shocking, usually they don’t. She shared lots of pics and kept us informed on their care! Highly recommend her!”
“Excellent sitter! Got her for a last minute house sitting and she followed instructions exactly and both my dog and cat were very happy with her all weekend. Very friendly and responsive!”
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
About: Greetings! My name is Colleen. I’m new to Rover, but my daughter has had a successful Rover business for 4 years in Alaska. I recently visited my daughter and while I was there I had the privilege to join her on some of her dog walks and found it to be a true pleasure, and therapeutic, to meet her clients, love on and walk their pets. What a great experience! I have had pets and farm animals most of my life, and raised my children with animals being treated as family members (probably why my daughter is loving her business with Rover). As you can tell I live in Florida (not Alaska lol). Many years ago I was a foster home for a dog rescue. I have been involved in youth programs that taught kids how to raise pigs and show them at local county fairs. I retired from a 20 year career in healthcare 4 years ago. Since then I’ve been helping with a family business and caring for disabled family members navigating our healthcare system. I’m excited for the opportunity with Rover to be able to provide a service to my clients and their pets during times of need so that your pet gets the love and care they deserve, and you’ll get the peace of mind knowing your pet is being loved and well cared for. Thank you for considering me. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m currently not working and have been dedicating my time to care for my family members that need a little help so my time and availability is very flexible. Unfortunately I recently lost my dog of 13 years. My little bit was an amazing little Shih Tzu that brought my family so much joy during her life. I currently have no pets in my home as I’m still healing from little bits passing over the rainbow bridge, so I just love on all my family members and friends pets. Now, I’m ready to love on yours as well.
“Denise has taken care of our dogs several times while we’re away. She’s very dependable and is often able to accommodate different times, even on short notice. During our most recent booking, our flight home was delayed for 24 hours—Denise stepped up and offered to check on the dogs the following day (even after the booking had ended). It was a stressful time trying to get home, but a huge relief not to have to worry about our dogs. With Denise, I always know they’re being well cared for and loved!”
About: I have owned a dog for 13 years. I have experience pet sitting that included loving and playing with them. I haven't met a cat or dog that didn't like me. I am looking to be more active so I am walking/playing with dogs to achieve that I only work 3 days a week so I have lots of time and flexibility to walk/ take care of your pet on your schedule! I live in a home, with a large yard for playing, and can take walks around my neighborhood. There are no children in the household and it is a very quiet and calm environment. I let my pets on the couch too for snuggles so they will be very cozy
About: I am a retired CVT with over 25 years of experience in small animals, emergency medicine, and teaching future veterinary technician students. I retired 5 years ago and began traveling. Both myself and my husband have been pet sitting full time all over the country. We are home in Florida for an extended amount of time and wanted to expand our services locally. I am comfortable giving medications. It is important to us to maintain a consistent stress-free experience for both the pet owner as well as your family member. I am retired so my schedule is open. I do provide pet sitting via another site so I tend to book up quickly from there. I prefer when pet sitting in clients homes that they provide me with their expectations. For cats I do prefer inside cats only because I don’t want to be responsible if your indoor/outdoor cat doesn’t come home.
“Hailey is a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter, a caring and thoughtful caregiver and house sitter! We highly recommend her and will definitely be hiring her again. She watched our two big dogs for us and did an amazing job!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I also take care of senior dogs and cats. I understand the importance of taking care of your furbabies while you are away. I have a clean home, smoke-free home and a big yard. I am reliable, loving and trustworthy. Whether you need a weekend getaway, a daily walk or just someone to love on your pet while you’re busy- I’ve got you! I am a homemaker and I am home full-time. I will be able to give your pet love and attention all day. I walk everyday in the safe community of Suntree where I live. Your pet would feel safe here and we would take walks together. 😃 I have a big yard and live in a safe neighborhood in Suntree. I have no children. My home is quiet, welcoming and smoke-free. I will make sure your pet is comfortable here. Sometimes I play jazz music on the TV for my pets. 😆🩷 I just want to create a peaceful and loving environment for our furbabies.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I also have experience with cats I currently work at a hair salon 4 days a week with a very flexible schedule. Also I am able to take breaks if needed. I will only be available to come to stay at your house and pet sit. I love to go on walks and spend lots of time outside
“As always kammie goes above and beyond. Sending lots of pictures, taking ronan out for walks, cleaning up his food and water area, and even sweeping the main area. Thank you so much!”
“Finley did an amazing job of caring for my pets! She gave me periodic updates and pictures of my two dogs while I was out of town. Finley definitely won my two dogs over by playing with them and giving them ample attention.”
“Carly was outstanding! She took excellent care of our two pups like they were her own. She did everything we asked of her and then some. She sent daily pictures, sometimes multiple times a day. We could tell our dogs loved her and were completely relaxed with her in our home. She left our house cleaner and in better condition than how it looked when we left it. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better pet sitter! If you need any kind of pet assistance - book her now!”

Caitlyn took exceptional care of my dogs, Pancake and Willow, and truly went above and beyond. She was always on time, followed all of my instructions carefully, and made sure their medications were given exactly when needed. She sent regular updates and lots of pictures, which I really appreciated while I was away. Most importantly, Pancake and Willow absolutely loved her! Caitlyn was incredibly easy to communicate with, dependable, and someone I felt completely comfortable trusting with both my dogs and my home. It was clear from the updates and photos that they were happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. I would absolutely trust Caitlyn with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, experienced, and genuinely caring pet sitter.
Laura was great! Very diligent and concientious. She was on time. My dogs loved her and my home was left spotless. She even started the laundry and dishwasher. I would recommend Laura. She is very kind, compassionate and clearly loves and has experience with both dogs and cats.

The average cost of House Sitting in Sharpes is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 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 Sharpes 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 Sharpes 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 Sharpes 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.
