“Natalie took great care of our little Morkie, Simba. Seeing all of the pictures and videos definitely gave us peace of mind that he felt loved and cared for.”
“Rebekah was incredible. So kind and professional. She took great care of our pups at our campsite so that we could enjoy a few hours in Key West without worrying about them being too hot in our RV. She took a lot of care and provided great updates. We highly recommend her. Thank you, Rebekah!”
“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 💜”
“We just got back from our cruise and I LOVE the peace of mind I had with Susan watching my babies. She was the first person I left them with (senior dog and 2 kitties) that wasn't family but she feels like family now. She has a way of communicating with animals and meeting their needs that is second to none. I got regular updates and pictures and couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Susan for your fur babies, you won't be sorry!”
“Tanisha was fantastic house sitting. Despite some initial challenges with our temperamental feline, she was professional and made us completely comfortable. We hope to have her work with us again soon!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Lauren was so amazing with my puppy! She is a very young puppy so has to be watched carefully and has lots of energy which can be hard. But Lauren was so attentive to her and provided me with so many updates! Will absolutely hire again she was the best”
“Ana was phenomenal with Jeter. She listened and understood what our needs were for him. She was so sweet and she sent me photos throughout the day and communicated very well! Jeter loved her as well. We already booked her for a future date!”
“Kaley was so good to my Murphy boy! Updated me throughout the day constantly with pictures, I love how I didn’t even have to ask for that. She stayed in my home with Murphy and had everything the way I left it when I got back home. Kaley will be my preferred pet sitter from now on!”
“Naturally I was so nervous leaving Harlow with someone new but Staycee made me feel so at ease. She was flexible and accommodating. She sent daily updates with pictures. The house was left exactly how I left it. She’s amazing, would definitely recommend!”

“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.”
“Tiffany was awesome. She stayed with my two rambunctious Boston Terrier puppies for a long weekend. We recieved many pictures and updates during our time away giving us comfort that our babies were being well taken care of. Our babies are spoiled and sleep in bed with us. Tiffany didn't bat an eye in sharing the bed. Best yet the house was clean and dog poop all picked up. We definately would use her again. Highly recommended!”

Tanisha is fantastic. My dogs’ behavior was absolutely awful when she stayed and I’ve learned I’ll need to separate them for future sitters. Tanisha remained professional and stayed in communication the entire time. She shared lots of information so i could fully understand the behavior and what was happening. I’ve learned It basically takes an act of God to get a reliable sitter and you can definitely rely on her.
We're new to the area and had to find a new sitter for our fur babies. We are so fortunate we came across Amber! She made the whole process and experience from the meet and greet to housesitting so effortless. I was really at ease knowing the boys were in great hands and the house was taken care of while we were away. When we returned, the house was in order and the boys were in good shape and so happy. Amber went above and beyond and is a true gem! We are so grateful and know we can count on her when we book with her again in the near 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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Southchase on Rover is $49.95 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 3,052 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.

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.
