“Jamie was absolutely fantastic! Not only did my Baby Girl take to her right away - you can tell she is a huge dog lover. She is kind and respectful and sent me some pupdates as well. Both myself and my pup are looking forward to seeing her again and I would highly recommend her to family and friends alike. 5 stars all the way!”
“Victoria did a wonderful job. We called her last minute for an overnight get away NYE. We did a meet and greet and Bailee took to her immediately. He is a service dog to me and we were skeptical knowing this would be the first time leaving him. She sent us pictures, was very personable and affectionate to Bailee. I would definitely recommend Victoria for your pet sitting needs. I know if we ever need someone, she will be the first one we call. Thank you again Victoria for treating Bailee like your own!!”
“Although Jonathan (Jack) has a profile that is new to Rover, he does a FANTASTIC job in caring for animals and has tons of previous experience. Jack watched our 2 dogs in our home while we were away for several days. He was communicative, let us know how the dogs were doing and updated us with photos. We were able to take our vacation with peace of mind that our dogs were being well cared for, and it certainly showed when we returned home to get back into our normal routine. We will certainly rebook with Jack in the future!”
“Stefania, was great. She provided us with many pictures and daily communications. Our furbabies were well cared for, she took the dogs outside several times a day, which is something they definitely love. Our house was well cared for.”
About: I've taken care of my childhood dog until her passing as well as many dogs, small-medium, and cats for the past few years. I just moved to this area and walking around different towns has become a big hobby of mine! I work in downtown Sarasota and I’m able to run out here and there for drop ins, I usually spend my lunch break taking a walk through town and I’m free on weekends! I’m big on phone-less walks except for pictures, with all the wildlife around and the heat in Florida I really like to be focused on my pet and check on their behavior and what catches their eye during walks
About: I have a lifetime of caring for pets of all types and have always had dogs and/or cats as a pets. When I was younger I worked as a vet technician. I recently wrapped up my long time career of 20 years working in the zoo and aquarium field the last 8 years as a supervisor managing the team and department, so I am very well skilled with working with and caring for animals including farm animals. I currently have 5 amazing dogs of my own. Transitioning in my life and starting a new pet business with a mobile dog gym. In the meantime working in some pet sitting and dog walking. Looking forward to meeting some new furry friends and wonderful pet owners! Ease your mind and hire someone who has made a career out of caring for animals! I am currently transitioning in my career and starting a new business, so right now I'm pretty flexible as my mobile dog gym business ramps up. Check in and let me know what you need, I'm sure I'm can move some things around! I am happy to follow any care instructions provided by pet owners to a T! I would happy to provide any advice based on my experience if asked.
“Kylee was wonderful with Stella while I was out of town! Stella was clearly happy in her care, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d happily book Kylee again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.
About: Hello! My name is Andrea and I am a full-time student alongside working part-time as an EMT. During my downtime, I study, organize my days and spend time with my animals. They are my absolute pride and joy, the best friend you could ask for! I have always loved dogs, and have had animals since I was five years old. I used to pet sit for neighbors before I moved away to college and really enjoyed it! I also volunteered at Nate's Honor Animal Rescue, which is located in Bradenton. I enjoy growing and learning more and more about different animals as I become more experienced on this app! I am looking forward to taking care of your fur babies with the same love and care you provide for them!
“Raith was awesome with our three animals. Super communicative, really flexible and the animals all completely loved hanging out with them. Will definitely be booking Raith again!”
“I have two large dogs and one of them is very stubborn and does not like to walk. Larissa did a great job getting them both out and took very good care of them. She sent pictures regularly and they both seemed very happy and content with Larissa. Thank you.”
About: I've owned and trained large and small dogs for more than 20 years. I love meeting and caring for others pets as well as my own! My schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate almost all requests! I only work two days of the week in the office and those can be rotated to fit most schedules. I have two pet parks in my neighborhood and a lot of places to walk and play. I do prefer a more quiet and low energy atmosphere to keep pets calm and happy.

“Adela was great with my 167 lb dog and 6 lb cat. She sent plenty of pictures/updates and I got the feeling that she cared for my animals exactly as I would. She is obviously an animal lover! Because my dog is so large, I knew it would take a special person to walk him. Not only did I feel like she had the animal skill level to watch over my big boy, she took very detailed interest in the particulars of his feeding schedule. I am so happy to have found her because I feel like I have a great back up should I have to travel or be away for longer during the day than I want my animals to be alone.i highly recommend Adela!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tallevast
Molly is sweet, dependable and everything you would want in a sitter for your fur babies! We came home after a long day and our dogs were not full of pent up energy… they were relaxed and happy 💕🥰 Molly sent adorable pictures and texts throughout the day. I look forward to the next time she watches our dogs!!
We had another sitter that canceled on us the week before we needed pet care. David came to our rescue and was able to watch Trix! He did an amazing job with Trix, quick to respond, and sent videos and photos. We would love to have him watch Trix again in the future!
Dawn and Jack were great while house sitting our high energy and high demand dog and puppy. They were attentive, responsive, and adaptable, and they left our home nicer than we had left it. I would recommend without hesitation and hope to rebook with them in the future.
Highly recommend Jack! Jack was communicative, professional, and friendly from start to finish. He asked thoughtful questions up front to understand each of our animals' needs and routines, and it showed in the care he gave them. Our pets were well treated, and we felt confident while we were away. We would absolutely hire him again.
This was our first time contracting with Jamie and we are very satisfied! She immediately bonded with our standard poodle. She was very conscientious with feeding schedule and eye drop medication. She kept Mindi active playing ball and walking several times a day. Jamie went beyond our expectations, we look forward to the next opportunity to use her services.
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.
My wife and I would highly recommend Ashlee. Sophie, our cocker spaniel, seem to be in great health and appeared to enjoy being around Ashley. She was prompt and sent photos of Sophie to us every day. Additionally, before we got home, she had washed her bed linens and they were fresh and clean in our dryer. The house was spotless when we got back as well. Once again, we would highly recommend her and plan on using her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tallevast is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Tallevast 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 Tallevast 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 Tallevast 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
