“Sydne came over to babysit my pups for a firework holiday because one of them is very nervous, and she did really well with them. I got updates all evening, and she asked questions if she needed. I felt nervous at first, because I had a bad experience with someone last year, but she was a breath of fresh air for me. I'll definitely be contacting her again!”
“Andrew is a very conscientious sitter and we recommend him to anyone. He stayed with our very young toy maltipoo for an evening in our home. Our dog immediately loved him, and ran to the window and cried when he left. From my experience and reading his other reviews, he seems to have a natural way with animals. We will absolutely hire him again in the future.”
“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”
About: I’ve taken in dogs that didn’t have a home to go to and we’re facing being put down. I was housing 5 large dogs at one point, found great homes for all of them. I own two dogs myself at Home. I’m a solo business owner for a small business, I’m able to set my own schedule meaning nothing will get in the way of me providing proper care for customers pets. I house sit cats a handful of times each year, mainly when people go on vacation and need somebody to stop by and feed and clean litter. I own two dogs at home now and care for them everyday.
About: I started dog obedience at the age of 8, and also assisted my mother in breeding and showing AKC Shetland Sheepdogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up working for my mother in an established pet sitting and training business. I have since relocated to Florida and have started my on my own. I have excellent references and will care for your pet just as I would my own. I work from home and am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day. I am flexible and will work by the schedule you need. I do reside in an apartment complex where pets are allowed. I have a two bedroom with plenty of room for your pet if they need to stay here. I would provide walks and exercise for your pet throughout the day.
“Victoria was an absolute lifesaver for us while we were visiting Alligagor Point this year! We needed last-minute care for our sweet Angel girl so we could enjoy a fishing charter we had to readjust with weather (on go home day) and Victoria went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly accommodating with our schedule and even came to pick Angel up from the marina, which made things so much easier for us. From the moment they met, it was obvious how much she loves animals. Angel was completely spoiled with attention and care—even after being a little mischievous and deciding to take an unexpected swim in their pool! Victoria is kind, responsible, communicative, and has the sweetest personality. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with the pets she cares for, and they absolutely adore her right back. She’s heading off to college soon, so if you’re looking for an amazing sitter this summer, book her while she’s still local! We would trust her with Angel again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend her highly enough. We hope she is back home from college next summer when we revisit so that Angel can hang out with her again. We only wish we had found her sooner in the week so that Angel could have had a few more play dates while we were in town.”
About: As an aspiring vet, it is my duty to ensure the health and welfare of any animal in my care. I make sure to carefully observe and notate any abnormalities while pet sitting to make sure any issues are caught early on Currently working part-time as a veterinary assistant, on my journey to come a veterinarian, pet care is my everyday life and has been for the past 5 years. I have easy access to a large dog park, and open fields so plenty of outside time is used. My home is also very spacious, plenty of roaming around space with a fenced deck for sunbathing as well

“Eva did a great job. Our dogs Bentley and Max love her. She took very good care of our puppies while we were out of town. I like that she takes as good of care as we do , when we are unable to be here. We recommend Eva and, would be happy to hire her again.”

Here is some of my experience: - professional experience taking care of exotic animals especially reptiles and amphibians - worked a year in the veterinary field - Current pet store employee who handled pet nutrition and care I currently work full time, but that does not inhibit my ability to give my full attention to your pets when they are in my care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 254 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sopchoppy. 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 Sopchoppy 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 Sopchoppy 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 Sopchoppy 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.
