“Rhea was absolutely amazing!!! It wasn't easy for the hubby and I to leave our boys for an entire week, but we knew they were in great hands with Rhea! She was incredibly attentive and sent us updates twice a day with photos! You could see the smiles on their faces, which allowed us to rest a little easier. We will definitely be booking Rhea next time we have to leave our precious pups again!”
About: My name is Noah. I'm a work from home animal lover so your dog will never be lonely. I am passionate about animal care and I have a very open schedule which means that your dog will always be at the top of my priority list. My phone is by my side 24/7 so feel free to call, check up, or chat with me at any time. All animals are allowed to roam free and chill on the furniture so please make sure to groom your fur baby before bringing them to my home. I look forward to meeting and caring for your dog in the future. Why I love dog sitting From the day I was born, I have had dogs in my life. I grew up in a house with a puppy named "MacMac". Until I was about 16yrs old, he never left my side. Maybe my name has something to do with it, but I have always been an avid animal lover. I cherish every moment that I am able to spend with them because of their undeniable innocence and pure intentions. Please be advised: If your animal has fleas, they will not be allowed to enter and will be immediately returned to you so please make sure your dog / cat is groomed before your booking. -Thank you Open schedule. I don't take dogs if I have plans so nothing will change with my routine. Plenty of space and time for the job. I walk dogs whenever at least 6 times a day or whenever they ask me to. Comfortable with meds / heated food. Open top separation fencing available.
About: What I have been told my entire life is that I have a way of making animals, no matter cats or dogs, calm and relaxed! I grew up around dogs my entire life of all shapes and sizes. from newfoundland's and saint Bernard's, to dachshunds and Australian shepherds and every where in between. In this house we love all fun loving dogs, as well as your adorable felines! I am currently a stay at home single mother, attending school for criminal justice with the goal to enter the forensics world. during the school year I’m a substitute teacher for Marion county, so, during the summer as well as other holiday breaks and weekends I need something to fill those gaps! as I would also be available after school hours! creating my own schedule is crucial during this time, luckily, it involves something that I enjoy as well! and can help others too!! this isn’t a service I’m currently providing in my home as I live in a small space with no fenced in yard unfortunately! in my clients home I will always remain respectful, focused, and attentive to your fur babies! entering someone else’s space is completely sacred and I aim to always be professional and honor your home as if it was my own.
“We have a full house of fur babies and we went away for a long weekend. Nadia stayed at our place and did amazing caring for them and we could not be happier. We would definitely have her back to help us out in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Cindy went above and beyond our expectations! Our four puppies were very well taken care of, and Cindy did an amazing job! We were away for 4 days and she came to our house to watch the dogs. They got all of the love and attention that they get when we are with them! Looking forward to Cindy coming to take care of them again :)”
About: I currently take care of two dogs and one cat in my house. I've taken care of my house pets since I was a kid (three dogs, three cats) Out of school for the summer and don't have class unit August. Even if I can't stay over we can still discuss arrangements for me to come over when I'm out of class. Feed them in the morning and late afternoon (or if client had a requested feeding time), take them for a nice walk, and play with the animals to keep them active
“Really good response on very short notice made my trip away for a day worry-free. Pics were sent and the dogs were very relaxed and happy when I arrived later. I would definitely use Amy J again. Thanks also to TJ. Brian B”
About: I have taken care of my families dogs on and off for many years, small and large. I am a very good listener, tell me the rules and I will enforce them. I am a part time college student, Monday and Wednesday afternoons, so I can spend nights those days keeping watch, but the rest of the week? Fully free. 24 hr care. I am quick to adapt my environment once pointed around, I can send scheduled updates on how your "little guy" is doing throughout the day.
About: I have taken care of a multitude of breeds and animals throughout my life. Growing up I had a teacup poodle named Clara Bow. I later had an english bulldog named Lulu. During my years in high school through present time, my family dogs include a Dalmatian, a Cavalier King Charles, and a new addition Toy Poodle. Dog walking and caring has been a task I have enjoyed and attended to since I was only a child. I have experience with pitbull breeds, as well as older dogs who may need medicine administered, diapers, etc. I look forward to taking amazing care of your cute pups! I am a college student so my schedule is different depending on the season. I bounce around between Fort Lauderdale, Gainesville, and Ocala, Florida. I work part time and have availability for walking, sitting, drop ins, etc on most days of the week. I currently own a cat of my own and she will be a year old in October. No matter which location I am in, my home is filled with comfort, cleanliness, and calm. In Fort Lauderdale there are the two dogs I mentioned, my family dalmation and cavalier king charles. My cat comes wherever I go, but when tending to services in Ocala and Gainesville it is just my one cat in the home.
“Although it was only one night, we know Kimberly took great care of our boys and showed them love like they were her own! She sent pics, asked questions, and let them cuddle with her haha. Will be booking with her from now on!”
About: I am 25 years old! I have 7 years volunteering with horses and I’ve been around cats and dogs since before I could walk. I have two girls (cats) of my own and a niecedog so I understand the importance of them being apart of the family! I’ve studied to become a Vet Tech and while that’s no longer my passion, animals still are! My goal is to make your pet feel at home while you’re away! I love sending updates via pictures/videos so that you know your pet is in good hands! Consistency is key so any rules/schedules your pet is currently on will be followed. Become a furever friend by booking with me 5x to receive a discount! I look forward to meeting you all!
About: I've had the joy of having dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and over the years, I've also gained experience taking care of birds, bunnies, and chickens. As a retired couple, we're home all the time and have a spacious, half-acre fenced yard where your pets will feel safe and comfortable. With our flexible schedule, we're able to offer both boarding and daycare services, and we promise to treat your pets like they're part of our family. Whether it's cuddling with our dogs and cats or caring for other animals, we're always ready to provide the love and attention your pets deserve. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I organize my schedule around the pets I care for to ensure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and rest. Since I only accept a maximum of 3 pets at a time for boarding or daycare, I’m able to give each one the personalized care they deserve. This also helps me create a calm and safe environment, especially for smaller dogs, as it prevents them from feeling overwhelmed or at risk around larger or more energetic pets. Safety, trust, and a welcoming environment are at the core of how we care for pets in our home. Our spacious, half-acre fenced yard ensures your pets have a secure and safe space to play, explore, and relax. We take great pride in creating a calm, loving atmosphere where pets feel at ease. As a retired couple, we're home all the time, which means your pet will never be left alone for long periods. With our experience caring for a variety of animals, we focus on building trust and making sure each pet is comfortable, happy, and well-looked after. You can rest assured knowing that we treat your pets like they are our own, offering a safe, caring environment while they’re in our care.
About: I’ve been taking care of Dogs since I was 8 different types of dogs. This allowed me to understand different types of dog behavior. It's been a true passion of mine to take care of dogs. I'm currently free as of now. I have time to house sit just about anytime of the week whether it's a weekend or a weekday at any time scheduled. I have a fenced-in yard that sits around 2 acres which allows bigger or smaller dogs to be able to get their Exercise or space needed to play.
“We truly got exactly what we were looking for with Sarah. She took incredible care of both our fur baby and our home. She was responsive, sent multiple photos and updates throughout the day, and we felt 100% confident in leaving our dog and our home in her hands while away. Can’t recommend enough!”

Benson, absolutely loved Valerie, and so did I. She stayed in my house and took care of my doggie the whole time, followed my instructions to the T and took care of my fish and chickens. She is wonderful! I came home to a clean house. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Valerie for doing such an awesome job!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Silver Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Silver Springs on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 356 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Silver Springs. 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 Silver Springs 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 Silver Springs 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 Silver Springs 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.

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.
