“Kristin was awesome! She was very energetic and engaged with our dogs at the meet and greet and her communication during the stay was outstanding. She demonstrated real compassion for our somewhat anxious stressed out pup and she hit it off amazingly well with our sometimes defensive pup. She left the house impeccable.”
About: Hi, I’m Nalisha! I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet with the same love and respect I would my own. I’m a responsible and experienced caregiver, and I’ve even cared for a pregnant dog, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, and gentle care. As a full-time college student, I’m available most days except Sundays. My availability is always updated on my calendar, and if anything changes, I will communicate in advance so you have time to find a replacement. If a booking is made on an unavailable day but a spot opens up, I’ll be happy to take it. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll ensure they’ve gone to the bathroom, received plenty of attention, and are in a good mood. If any accidents occur, I will notify you and clean them up to prevent further issues that could be unsafe for your pet or household.
“Dawn Star took wonderful care of my two dogs while my family and I were out of town for a long weekend. I came back home to happy dogs and a well cared for home. This was my first experience with a house sitter and found my dogs to be much more relaxed at the end of the stay compared to when they board at a facility. One of my dogs is very high energy, and the other is more reserved. Dawn Star handled their particular dynamics without issues. She also paid attention to my care/ instruction sheet and followed it to a T. I’m very happy with this experience and would hire Dawn Star again.”
“We had Veronica stay with our pups once again and she did a fabulous job. Our pups were well taken care of and our house was just the same as we left it. She also brought in our trash cans and checked our mail. We’ll definitely have her stay with our pups again! Thank you, Veronica, for your care and patience with our pups!”
“Victoria was fantastic to work with. We had a last minute sitter cancel and she accepted our last minute request. Then we had a delayed flight and she stayed an extra night. We received daily updates on our pooch and had no worries about him while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsay was fabulous with my dogs. I admit that they are not very well trained but Lindsay made.me feel comfortable and free to enjoy my vacation knowing my fur babies were getting the best care. Lots of pictures and videos. Thank you Linday for a worry free vacation.!”
“Shayla was absolutely fantastic! She was very open and friendly during our meet and greet; was able to tell my dog loved her immediately! I felt comfortable and informed the whole time I was away. Lots of pictures sent to me of my dog was so sweet to receive! I will definitely be booking with Shayla again! Thanks for taking the BEST care of Sasha 💕”
“Tamara house sat my cat Pip. Tamara and Pip clearly bonded during the five days I was away. My home was left spotless, I received many photos, videos and notes about Pip from Tamara. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“I can't say enough good things about Ethan! He took care of my 3 pups and cat, like they were his own. He communicated daily with updates and pictures of everyone playing in the backyard having a good time. Additionally he kept the pups happy and exercised with walks. I highly recommend Ethan for anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter!”
About: I've had animals my whole life and love taking care of them. Friends and family often reach out for boarding, pet sitting and daycare. My genuine care for animals should give you guilt free feelings when leaving your babies in my care. I currently work from home which makes caring for your pet easier if you choose to bring them here. If not, my hours are 8-5 weekdays but free all day on the weekends. I currently have a pet free home and I also have a fenced yard. Happy to travel and stay at your home if your animal is more comfortable there.
About: Hello and welcome to my Rover bio. My name is Sandra and I have 20+ experience with pet care. I used to have 5 dogs of my own at one point in my life. I've fostered several dogs in my home before, but now I have no dogs and am not quite ready to have another after the passing of my last dog Gatsby. However, i love animals. I have "grandpup" named Jax who I love and take care of at times. At this time, I am not working full time as a babysitter/nanny, so I am on this site in search of helping out other pet owners who are finding someone to trust with their fur kids. I am known around my neighborhood to be the animal lover. I will listen to your pet care instructions and follow through. Love sending you updates and pictures to keep you posted and guilt free! I am currently unemployed and have a lot of time in my hands at this time. I do not have places to be and if i leave, it's mostly for groceries or something quick. I have a fenced yard that is very spacious. Live in gated neighborhood that also has dog poop bags to keep neighborhood clean and nice.
“Kaity & Sebastian are wonderful people. I always knew what was going on & they never left me wondering. Such peace of mind knowing our fur baby is being loved 🥰 & cared for like we do. I highly recommend them. The house was also left neat & clean, like I left it. I’m grateful 🙏🏻”
“Lorianne did a wonderful job housesitting and caring for our two labradors. She was punctual and sent us photo updates the whole time. We highly recommend her as we will want her to care for our dogs in the future!”

“Rebecca was a delight. She arrived on time and sent many photos of our dog, Kita, during her stay. She frequently updated us on how Kita was doing while we were away and gave Kita lots of play time outside and I inside. Great experience. 10/10 Would book again with her!”
“We highly recommend Krista! From our initial meet and greet with Krista and her dog Carmen I knew our dogs would be in great hands. Our dogs had a blast staying with them for the weekend. She is extremely communicative and trustworthy! We will definitely be using Krista again!”

Cira is wonderful. The boys love her. She’s very patient with their dachshund ways and she just loves on them. I loved getting all the updates from her. One of the boys was recovering from surgery and she took extra care with a few limitations he has I’m so glad we found Cira!
Very accommodating! Asks all the right questions to really care for your babies. She was very sweet, patient and loving to my boy who has extreme anxiety with new people but he warmed right up. Communication was amazing and I would definitely recommend. Will rebook!
Lindsay was awesome. I was stressed because my dog suffers from separation anxiety & this was the first time I was leaving him in a year. Lindsay sent me photos & texts which made me feel 1000% better. I highly recommend Lindsay for your pet sitting needs. Thank you Lindsay for your professionalism & taking great care of my Tillman & your communications with me while I was out of state visiting family. It made a world of difference. Thank you.
Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Rocco. I can not thank her enough for her flexibility and come to our house for an overnight sit so last minute. This was my first time leaving our dog in someone else’s care and she made me feel a sigh of relief. Sydney followed instructions, updated me with pictures, and had amazing communication. I will 100% be using her again and would recommend her to anyone.
She has come to my home on two different occasions now to watch my dog. Mine were house sitting visits so she stayed here at my home with the dog, she walked him, played with him, she kept up on everything, she even brought my packages in along with updating me on when I maintenance crews here. I always text asking how he’s doing she sends me photos and lets me know his behavior. She was good to my baby and took care of my home. Trustworthy!
Five stars isn’t enough! Leaving my dog can make me anxious, but Isaiah made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. I felt completely comfortable from start to finish, and it was obvious that my dog was treated like family while I was away. Isaiah was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dog’s well being. Coming home to a happy, well cared for pup was the best feeling. I would not hesitate to use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.
Tatiana was an excellent house and pet sitter while I was away in Medellín. She took great care of Beanz!) and followed all instructions exactly. Communication was smooth the entire time, with regular updates that made it easy to relax and enjoy my trip. I came home to a clean, tidy house and happy animals, and I would absolutely book Tatiana again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun City Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun City Center on Rover is $55.5 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 4,060 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sun City Center. 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 Sun City Center 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 Sun City Center 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 Sun City Center 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.
