About: Hello, my name is Nilce and I have over 10+ years of pet experience & ownership. I have a husky that requires lots of attention and I always make sure to get his energy out daily. That is just one way that I care for animals, I always make sure to be knowledgeable about their routines and specific needs as I believe this is a priority when it comes to caring for other’s fur babies. On a regular day, my work is pretty flexible as I’m self-employed and will make sure to keep my schedule open for any future bookings. I am able to administer oral medications and have cared for senior pets in the past. Yes, I am full time available 7am-5pm also available early evening. Upon requests I’m also available nights…I will make arrangements to fit your pet’s schedule. I have a 6 ft tall fenced backyard for entertainment and playtime. Your pet(s) will be attended and supervised at all times. I also have three of my own dogs, a husky, Pomeranian, and Chihuahua who are friendly. I also would love to visit your house to take care of your fur babies and make them feel right at home.

Shay is the absolute best! She stayed at our house for a week taking care of our four pets. She clearly loves animals, and it shows in how comfortable they were with her from the start. Shay sent photos and updates every day, was extremely responsive, took great care of our home, and even left Christmas presents for our two dogs. We weren’t stressed at all while we were away knowing she was staying at our place. We will definitely reach out again to invite her back!!

Terry was great! We were visiting Florida from out of town and needed a sitter for 8+ hours with fairly short notice. Our sweet pup isn't always a fan of strangers - especially when we're leaving him with them. Terry was able to win him over - and even sent me a video of her giving him a belly rub! Not only was she willing to stay with him the entire time, but she brought him two toys - one being a stuffed alligator which has become his favorite since we've returned home! Terry clearly loves animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to spoil their pet while they're away - she's Dudley approved!

About: Dogs have been part of our lives for as long as we can remember. Gage was raised around dogs from a young age, his dad bred bullies, so he grew up learning canine behavior, body language, and daily care firsthand. After getting married, we added four dogs of our own, which deepened our passion for training, boarding, and understanding how dogs learn best. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including a Bull Mastiff, Pit/Lab mix, Rottweiler/Boxer mix, Great Dane, and a Boxer. Large breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies learning structure, and gentle seniors all receive care tailored to their specific needs. We understand that young dogs need consistency and patience, while senior dogs often need a slower pace and extra attentiveness. What truly sets us apart is that we intentionally keep things small and personal. We board a maximum of two dogs at a time (one family at a time), ensuring individualized attention, proper supervision, and a calm environment - never overcrowded, rushed, or chaotic. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities in our home. After each stay, we fully sanitize spaces, wash bedding, disinfect crates and play areas, and properly dispose of waste to maintain a clean, healthy environment for every dog. We also believe communication matters. Regular updates, photos, and check-ins are sent so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while you’re away. We own a small business offering guided boat tours, fishing trips, and jet ski rentals, which gives us a highly flexible schedule. Because we control our calendar, we only accept pet care bookings when we are fully available to dedicate our time and attention to your dog. Since we both work from home, your pup will not be left alone for extended periods. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine, with built-in time for morning and evening walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. Our days are structured around consistency and companionship. Whether your dog thrives on activity and engagement or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, we’re able to provide steady attention, a calm atmosphere, and dependable care from start to finish. Our home is a quiet, structured, and comfortable environment designed to feel like home, never like a kennel. As mentioned above, we intentionally care for only 1–2 dogs at a time (1 pet family at a time), which allows us to provide focused supervision, individualized attention, and a low-stress setting. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime, regular outdoor breaks, consistent feeding schedules, and plenty of downtime to rest and decompress. We pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level, adjusting care to ensure they feel secure and comfortable throughout their stay. Crates are never required unless your dog prefers the familiarity of one. We also have a dedicated spare bedroom where one of us can sleep with your dog, so they don’t have to sleep alone or feel isolated. Maintaining routine, safety, cleanliness, and emotional comfort are always our top priorities. Whether in our home or during drop-in visits at yours, we follow your established routines closely - including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any specific instructions - so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every dog in our care is treated with the same patience, structure, and affection we give our own.

She did an amazing job watching our dogs and cat! She was very kind, caring, and thorough, and our animals took to her right away. She met with us beforehand to go over everything, which made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. I really appreciated how detailed she was with her updates, especially letting me know when the animals had been fed and keeping me informed of anything that came up. There really weren’t any issues, but on the occasions when something did come up, I appreciated that she communicated it with me rather than leaving me wondering. She was absolutely lovely to work with, and I could tell she genuinely cared about our pets. I would definitely hire her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for their animals!

We used Bonnie for the first time this week for an in home stay! We have 5 dogs and farm animals. It was so refreshing to leave town and not have to worry about their care. Bonnie was sure to to send updates and pictures throughout the day. On our return, the dogs were happy and the house was in order just how we left it and then some. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care, and look forward to using her in the future. Thank you, Bonnie!!!

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

Leaving your furry family members for an extended period of time is never easy. Hailey helped to make the situation as good as it could have been. She was conscientious of our needs and very respectful of our home. We loved receiving updates and pictures during her stay and she was always quick to respond whenever we would reach out. We found Hailey to be diligent, trustworthy and prompt. We have already scheduled her next stay.

Shaya was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our pups and our home. She followed all of our home and dog instructions perfectly, had the house super clean when we returned, towels cleaned and folded, sheets washed, bed made, floors cleaned, dishwasher ran. Most importantly the dogs were perfectly fine, fed, watered, and happy! We are so happy to have found a trustworthy dog and home sitter we can use moving forward because that can be difficult and inhibit people from taking trips. Highly recommend Shaya. We will absolutely use her again in the future if she will allow us! Thank you, Shaya! Drax and Lilu look forward to seeing you again for our next trip!

About: Hi! I have 15+ years owning and helping to care for animals. I currently have 2 cats, but have owned a couple dogs, as well as other animals in the past. One of my cats takes oral medication, so I'm experienced with a daily medication schedules. I am knowledgeable about daily schedules and routines, as I believe it is a priority when caring for other's fur babies. I have open availability so I am able to assist at a moments notice! I am currently a stay-at-home linewife with two grown teenagers. I'm currently looking for something to fill my time with and a chance to do what comes natural. With instruction, I can do everything you would usually do for your pet while you're gone! Animals gravitate to me and I'd love to give them whatever attention is needed while their owner is away.

About: I have a history of providing excellent pet care for 15 years plus. I’m use to caring for large groups of dogs. I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and couldn’t imagine life without a dog. I understand while your away you want your pet to have the same care & love that you would give them as if you were home. Finding a dependable & trustworthy person to watch over your pet can be difficult specially if you want to travel or need to take a last minute or unexpected trip but I’m here to help make it possible. Let me know how I can help care for your pet while your away. I work part time, so I’m super flexible. I’ve done this in the past, and I really enjoyed it. I do have my own transportation. I have no kids. I do have two pugs that are well behaved for the most part. They are pretty low maintenance for the most part with lower energy compared to most dogs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Silver Springs Shores

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Silver Springs Shores on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 446 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Silver Springs Shores. 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Silver Springs Shores. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
