“Sophia was absolutely amazing with Milo and Chase! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. She was incredibly sweet and attentive with them, took them on extra walks, and made sure they got plenty of love and exercise. We really appreciated the constant updates—she shared tons of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She even surprised us with extra photos and a detailed progress report, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% trust her with Milo and Chase again. Highly recommend Sophia!”
About: Throughout my life, I have cared for and loved so many dogs, birds, cats, and small creatures. I am an animal lover and have raised my children around all kinds of animals, which they now have a love for. I have taken in so many animals that have been rescued, abandoned, or just owner surrender. I now volunteer with a local rescue that transports all over the state of Fl. I have worked in the Veterinary field for few years and know how to care for your family. I also have 4 dogs and 2 cats myself and they are spoiled family members. I look forward in helping you with your fur baby's needs. I am currently just walking, sitting, and caring for any pet that needs my help and I love doing this!! Right it's just part time but I hope to make it full time job. For now, I will only be able to care for animals in their own homes and environments and follow the request of care by the owner
“Susan was awesome! Leaving your pets with someone that you don’t really know is not an easy thing, but Susan was great from end to end. Booking was smooth, she prompted answer all our questions (including meeting us before booking). While she stayed with our 2 dogs and 1 bird, she kept us on the loop by sending daily pictures. Overall it was an wonderful experience and we are not going to hesitate before booking her again. Highly recommended!”
“Mariah is amazing and so attentive to detail! My pup can be nervous and shy with unfamiliar people, but Mariah did a great job helping her warm up to her. She is very responsive and great to work with 💜”
“Nick was an amazing sitter for my dog Leonard! The peace of mind was really something that was invaluable. Plenty of contact and accommodation for my travel schedule, really can't recommend him enough!”
“We are so grateful for Adriana! She took such wonderful care of our pup, Blue, while we were away. He can be a bit stubborn and high-maintenance at times, but Adriana handled everything with so much patience, love, and attention to detail. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Blue felt comfortable and cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would highly recommend Adriana to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you again, Adriana—you’re the best! 💙🐾”
“Nancy is great! She was available very last minute and was super understanding during absolutely everything. Our dogs definitely weren’t the easiest and Nancy was always there when they needed her. She’s also very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs, their personalities, behaviors, etc. which is so helpful. She also made sure to send plenty of pictures and videos! We will reach out to Nancy again.”
“My wife and I cannot begin to emphasize how satisfied we are with how Kristina handled our pups. She stayed in our home for a week while we went on a cruise vacation. We are new to the area and naturally we were very nervous to find a new sitter. Kristina absolutely is the best when it comes to Rover. We do not say this lightly as we have used Rover for years across the country. She took our requests and directions very seriously and ensured that our dogs came first during our time away. From swift glances at the Ring camera and the many pictures she sent we could tell that our dogs were comfortable and loved! We will 100% be reaching out to Kristina for future jobs.”
“We never worry when we're away and Amaris is taking care of our pups. She sends photo updates, checks in with us on a regular basis and is super sweet. She's helped us in a pinch when we've needed a dog sitter last minute. She's the best! I would highly recommend Amaris for anyone going out of town and looking for a sitter.”
About: Caregiving is a calling and a special gift I've had for as long as I can remember. I've been trusted with the care of many animals, my own, neighbors, friends, and families since very young. I am always willing to learn more. While I am searching for the next move in my career path, I have ample time to spend with my family, enjoy the company of my friends, and work on small business ideas- this being one of them. I would love to spend more time around animals while I better myself in every aspect. Caring for a life typically means giving more than food, water, bathroom breaks or on occasion medications. It's understandable that some pets can dysregulated by their owners absence. For this reason I do my best to keep their space familiar and comfortable. The pets I care for are all shown compassion and patience while their pet parents are away. Updates, pictures and videos can be sent upon request.
About: I am drawn to dogs. I currently have a 4.5 year old Pomski (62 lbs). I am experienced in giving medicine, bathing, and just keeping your babies company. In the past I have been trusted with taking all necessary and providing fun outings for peoples dogs. Also, I have owned dogs the majority of my adult life so I know what it takes. My schedule is currently open to take care of your beloved pet. Count on me to be able to dedicate my time to your pets well-being and comfort I am attentive and loving. My main focus is to make sure your pets needs and wants are attended to the fullest. I never leave food around and am always reachable.
“Dalia is great! She watched my house and my cat, Lana, overnight for a few days while I was on vacation. Dalia sent lots of updates and cute pictures, even a little action shot of Lana jumping off her tree! Lana is the only pet in the house but she’s a cuddler and very social cat and it was so comforting knowing Dalia was there to play with her and keep her company. It really helped me enjoy my time away. When I returned Lana was her usual self which tells me she was cared for like I’d never left. I will absolutely be asking Dalia again, and you should too if you’re looking for a reliable and communicative animal lover to take care of your best bud!”
About: For the past 8 years, I’ve been a devoted dog owner and have cared for dogs of all ages; puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve handled daily walks, and ensure a fun, enriching environment for each pup I care for. I’m currently working full time, but I’m looking for more opportunities in doing what I love. I make pet care a natural part of my daily rhythm whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening cuddle sessions. I also like to keep a flexible weekly schedule so I can adjust to the pet’s needs, like vet visits or extra exercise. I take a really careful approach. For clients homes, I stick to their preferences, I ask about any special routines or sensitivities, and I make sure to follow their instructions. I’m also mindful of cleanliness and keeping the environment stress free for the pets.
“Mia is a blessing! She is always so dependable, responsible and loving to our two pups. They miss her after she leaves. Mia keeps our home very clean. She keeps us posted with pictures and tells us how the pups are doing. We highly recommend Mia.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and my friends dogs growing up as well as working as a kennel technician in a training facility for several years. I have worked with dogs with behavioral issues as well as puppies and everything in between!! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to help take care of other people's pups as well as have a flexible schedule! I have a fenced back yard for play time as well as a walkable neighborhood where I walk my own dog's multiple times a day.

Sophia is incredible! She was so detailed during our meet and greet and had thoughtful questions ready to make sure she was able to take the best care of my furry friends. During her stay, she was thorough and considerate and made sure to send lots of pictures and videos. My dog gets anxious with new people sometimes and he immediately took to her and I could tell in the pictures how wonderful she was with him. I can’t recommend Sophia enough and will absolutely request her help in the future!
Cynthia was incredible! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos of our girl. This was the first time we have left our baby girl since the death of our other fur baby, Dexter, in December, so we were really nervous leaving her. Cynthia eased all of our nerves by spoiling our girl rotten, which I personally believe every dog deserves. Thank you, Cynthia, for loving on our fur baby so well. Will definitely be using Cynthia on a regular basis for doggy sitting.
Kii was an absolutely amazing pet sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for better care for our two large-breed dogs while we were out of the country. Traveling during the holidays can be stressful, but Kii went above and beyond — even offering to stay longer in case our return flight was delayed, which gave us incredible peace of mind. She checked in twice daily with the sweetest photo updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy, relaxed, and completely in love with her. They quickly appointed themselves her furry “secretaries,” happily keeping her company while she worked from our home. We came back to two very content pups and felt completely confident they were safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. We would 100% trust Kii again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful pet sitter.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Amber! From the start, communication was clear and timely, which gave us so much peace of mind. She were incredibly caring, attentive, and treated our dog like her own. We received regular updates and photos, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to a relaxed, well-loved dog and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!
Maria is such a gem. From the moment we met her, we felt at ease. She stayed with Ellie from Friday to Sunday. We have never left our puppy with anyone but family before and were really nervous about leaving her with someone we never met. A week before our scheduled time, Maria, texted to confirm the time and two days before as well. The day of, she was on time and took Ellie for a little walk right away. I left her a list of details so that she felt more comfortable with Ellie’s daily routine. She made us feel really comfortable throughout the weekend because she kept in touch and sent us several follow up photos of our sweet puppy. If she left the house she was very communicative with us. On her last day, she let is know the time she was leaving, which I really appreciated. When we got home, the house was super organized and clean. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a house/dog sitter. Ellie means the world to us and we felt super comfortable and at ease during our trip. I will be calling Maria every time we need a sitter for our sweet girl! Thank you Maria for taking such good care of Ellie and taking care of our home. You make us feel so secure and at ease! Ellie will be super excited to spend snuggle time with you in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Southchase
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Southchase on Rover is $49.75 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 3,079 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Southchase. 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 Southchase 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 Southchase 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 Southchase 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.
