“Alex was awesome 💯. He did everything we asked of him and more and my dogs loved him. I have one dog who is usually kind of a pain and likes to give people a hard time but she was great with him so I know the dogs really liked him. I also have a huge pond with big koi which are my other babies and I was super worried about them too because it's easy for things to go wrong with it and I showed him how to maintain it and backwash the filter and he did a great job, came back to the pond being perfect without any issues as well. We also have a little leopard gecko an inside fish tank so lots of things to take care of and he did it with ease and it made our trip so much better because this was the first time using this service so I was nervous. I am glad I found this now and hope I can use Alex again on our next vacation!!! Thank you!!!”
“Karen was amazing. She provided daily updates and photos and seemed to bond very well with our dog. She responded to all communication promptly and came to meet Franklin prior to our trip. It's such a relief to have Pet care in your own home, especially with a senior dog. I would highly recommend Karen to watch your pup on your next trip!”
“We are very happy with Sierra house sitting our 2 dogs. She took great care of them, took them on walks, played with them in the yard and we received pictures of the dogs having fun as well. It was great knowing that our dogs were well taken care of and we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely be using Sierra again.”
“Julleyka was wonderful! She took great care of our hard to handle large dog and home for a long vacation. She even went over and beyond cleaning up after our dog got sick inside. Will be using again! Thanks, Julleyka!”

“Hailee was awesome with our boys! We will definitely be using her again in the future! She was so patient and loving with our mini dachshund that takes a little longer to trust and open up to strangers, she quickly became her new cuddle buddy!”

“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”

“Kelli and Torrie were amazing pet sitters in my home! Beyond their sweet and adorable personalities, they took outstanding care of our fur babies! They were responsive and so easy to communicate with during the whole booking process. Max and Sophie looked so happy in all of the pictures they sent us every day, I thought they wouldn’t want us to come back home! We will definitely call them again!”

Karen is absolutely wonderful with my pup Chewie. I don’t have to worry or think about anything while I’m away. She walks her and takes good care of her and my home. I am so glad I have found her as my go to Pet Sitter. Her attention to detail and communication is top-notch.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She was kind, attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind, and it was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I truly appreciated the love and attention Alexis gave my dog, treating her as if she was her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again.
As always, Ashley is so amazing. She even stayed longer on each visit due to us being anxious after an incident that happened completely outside of her drop-in visits on our last trip. She always takes great care of our boys, and we will rebook her every time.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tarpon Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tarpon Springs on Rover is $45.78 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 3,562 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tarpon Springs. 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 Tarpon Springs 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 Tarpon Springs 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 Tarpon Springs 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.
