“Tamara was fantastic with my two old pomeranians. She sent photos and kept in communications. I highly recommend and have booked again for the following weekend.”
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always been a big dog lover. In 2022, my family got our dog Roxi, who is like my best friend. With Roxi, I’ve been fully involved in everything, walking her, feeding her, training her, and making sure she stays active and happy. I’ve also grown up helping to look after family dogs when relatives go away, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I’m originally from Ireland and recently moved to Florida after completing my MBA at Marshall University in West Virginia. I now coach youth soccer, so I’m very active, responsible, and used to being around people (and animals) all the time. Moving to the U.S. has been a big change for me, and being away from my family and my own dog has definitely made me miss them a lot, and it’s made me appreciate even more how much I love being around dogs every day. I’d say I’m quite laid-back, reliable, and easy to get along with. I like being outdoors, staying active, and I’m always up for a walk or keeping a dog company rather than just sitting around. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and routines, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I know how much dogs mean to their owners because mine means everything to me, so I always treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m happy to send updates and photos as well, so owners feel completely comfortable while they’re away. Right now, I coach soccer in the evenings during the week and sometimes on weekends, usually for a couple of hours. Outside of that, my schedule is very flexible. I’m generally available in the mornings, afternoons, and often evenings for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. My coaching hours are not long, so I’m able to work around pet care easily and adjust my schedule when needed. I take care of pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I make sure they’re well looked after with things like feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and giving medication if needed. I also keep things clean and stick to their usual routine as much as possible. I always spend time with the pets too, whether that’s playing with them or just keeping them company so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for the whole time.
“Lexie was amazing! She sent photo updates and made sure we were constantly aware of how our pups were doing throughout the day. We are so looking forward to hiring her again! Our dogs love her!!!”
“We felt at ease leaving our 3 dogs and additional pets at our home with Alex for the week while we were away. We loved the daily updates and pictures. She also took wonderful care of our home and left it better than it was when we left. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Mindy is the BEST!!! She went above and beyond; she cared for and loved my dog like her own, was great with communication, and accommodating. For the first time ever I came home to a happy, calm dog (not a frantic one) and a spotless clean home. Mindy truly made my vacation an actual vacation.”
“Taylor took great care of our golden retriever over the weekend! She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. She dropped in to care for him as often as we had talked about ahead of time, and he was happy and healthy when we got home! I’m thankful we didn’t have to worry about him while we were away. I would certainly ask her to take care of him again in the future.”
“Jaxon was very professional and even came by for a second visit prior to our trip for a refresher since we booked a couple months in advance. She gave great updates and left our house the way she found it. We felt at ease our entire trip. Will definitely use her again. Thanks Jaxon!”
“this young lady watched our two dachshunds overnight in our home. one of our dachshunds is handicapped with some paraplegic issues which affect her ability to control her bladder. We keep her in a doggie diaper when inside. she also needs to be lifted up and down so no jumping, stairs, etc. Lyris did an excellent job. she arrived on time, displayed a true caring attitude towards both our pets and us. We returned home to a clean house and two happy dogs. Will definitely call on her again...and again.”
“This is our first time using Heather and she was great! She was really good with Otis, attentive to all his needs and took great care of our home over the three days we were out of town. Absolutely no worries! I will definitely book with Heather again.”
“Desiree was great! Our first time leaving the puppy overnight with us and it was painless. Desiree set up a prior meet n greet and they all loved her. Extremely communicative! Would absolutely rebook with Desiree!”
“Mariangela was a pleasure to deal with. I had complete confidence leaving my dogs in her care and I know she followed my instructions closely. I would use her again without any hesitation.”
About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. It’s important to understand them and give them the same unconditional respect, compassion and love they give to us. I am a mother of two beautiful dogs one named Simba (with mom in France), and my princess named Angel. She was in the shelter her whole life. I was told it would be tough to accommodate her to a normal life, but I realized that all she needed was to feel loved, safe and mostly by my side forever! She understood from the moment I rescued her that she had a furrrever home :) Also, I’m a dual citizen, French and American, so if your dog comes home speaking French don’t be surprised 😁 Availability is based upon demand. I accommodate as much as possible to make sure your baby will be taken care of at the time needed. Learning more about the pet by asking their owners the routine, character, likes or dislikes, but mostly I observe the pet and follow directions given to me.
“Nicholas was a great sitter and did such a great job taking care of my two dogs! He was communicative, responsible and sent updates and pictures regularly. Nicholas is professional, kind and is very gentle with dogs exhibiting anxiety. I would use Nicholas over and over again!”
“Christine was fantastic! The fur babies were happy and well cared for, and she went the extra mile to get our mail, and the house was spotless when we returned. We really appreciated the thorough communication during her stay and concern for their well being!”
“Zarah was excellent with my pup while we went away for a few days! She was extremely accommodating and I felt very comfortable having her stay at the house. She give Hulk lots of snuggles and sent updates along the way. I would definitely recommend her and will be looking forward to having her help out in the future!”
“Lori stayed with our sweet girl for a week. We are so very grateful for the way she cared for Zoe. Zoe was one happy girl with Lori! She has little habits and Lori followed through with them. She provided daily photos and notes. Very refreshing to have someone that cares about your pet the way you do! Thank you Lori!”
“Zed enjoyed his staycation immensely. He was spoiled rotten and got to do all the fun things. Now I wonder if he's secretly hoping I'll leave again, which is better than him getting depressed when I'm gone. Communication was good and the house is just as I left it.”
“Aramie was great with my 2 pets. They were well loved amen care of for our 15 days away. I would highly recommend Aramie, she keeps you informed and is trustworthy. I cannot thank her enough for giving me a piece of mind while out of the country.”
“Lucy was amazing! She was super responsive to all our messages and very attentive to our dog, Blue. She walked him several times each day, spending lots of time at our house to make sure he received all the love and playing that he needed while we were traveling.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in South Patrick Shores is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Patrick Shores
I can’t say enough great things about Mason! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her care. She is incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly loves what she does. She sent regular updates, photos, and little notes about how things were going, which meant so much while I was away. Penni looked happy, relaxed, and so well cared for the entire time. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can fully trust with my pet. I would absolutely recommend Mason to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Taylor did an amazing job caring for our 2 dogs. We had a terrible experience with dog sitting (non Rover related) and hadn't left them for a year and a half. This trip was unavoidable, so I searched for the best option and read all the reviews, but when I met Taylor for the meet and greet, I knew she was going to be great. I felt so comfortable with knowing she was here and received lots of pictures and updates. I truly believe she treated our dogs just like her own. We will definitely be booking Taylor for any future dog sitting needs.
Heather was amazing with our boy Kody! She played with him bunches and took him out on several walks. She sent us lots of lovely pictures and videos. She was also very accommodating and was willing to get a visitors pass for the weekend so she could watch our boy since we live on the military base. I would highly recommend her 😊 thanks Heather!
Ashley is a wonderful sitter. She followed the care instructions exactly and spent tons of time at the house while we were away. We got high quality photos and updates at least every morning and night. Watson and Janeway seems happy. Absolutely would book again and recommend it a friend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Patrick Shores on Rover is $37.04 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 South Patrick 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 South Patrick 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 South Patrick 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.
