“Alexis was timely, clean, and took our request short notice. We did not have to worry about the care of Myla and feel very comfortable with Alexis being in our home and taking care of our pup.”
“Courtney watched our four animals for 2 weeks while we were out of town and did a fantastic job! We have never left our animals with someone for more than two days so we were nervous, especially considering one of our dogs has separation anxiety and is highly possessive. Our girls were safe and sound and we had plenty of pictures sent our way while we were gone. Would highly recommend and ready to book our next big adventure knowing we have such a dependable dog sitter!”
“Anna did an outstanding job house sitting and taking care of my dog, Apollo. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with animals. Apollo can be a bit particular, but Anna handled everything with patience and care—it was obvious he was comfortable and well looked after. She kept the house in great shape, followed all instructions, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy trusting someone with both your home and your dog, but Anna made it effortless. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful house sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“This was our first time using rover and so happy with Marlene. She kept us informed each day with pictures and left a real sweet note of our pets daily activities. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend.”
“Joli has continued to be an amazing sitter for our pups. They absolutely love her and she put our minds at ease knowing how well they were looked after. I can't recommend her enough!”
About: I have had dogs for most of my life, but love animals in general. I have a special bond with animals, and sometimes feel I understand them better than humans, lol. I am also an active person and love going on walks/hikes with my canine friends. Extra bonus: I am a groomers well, baths,nails trim, partial grooming, and full grooming. I can be somewhat flexible with my schedule, which allows me to work with yours. Let's work together to ensure that your babies are well cared for in your absence! It's one thing to have someone feed and walk your pet/s, but quite another to have someone genuinely care for them. I'm that person...look forward to working with you. Thanks I work at home most of the time, my time it’s very flexible. I have two aussiedoodle is at home, their are very friendly and social. I have a to Aussiedoodle’s at home, they are 20 pounds each, both are girls. Have a doggie door for them to go out doing their privacy
About: I own 2 cats myself and have taken care of/lived with a large dog before (German shepherd). I have more experience with cats but have taken care of multiple types of dogs. I am open to animals that may have some disabilities as well. I have experience taking care of blind dogs/senior dogs! I am located on st Pete beach but am open to the surrounding Tampa Bay Area. I work full time but it is a late/evening shift so I can be available during the day as well as nights after work. I like to care for pets based on the how the owners would like them to be cared for. I would appreciate some instruction and background on pets so I can understand them better.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve had dogs of many different breeds my entire life, which has given me a deep understanding of their personalities and needs. I also worked in a shelter, where I cared for over 50 dogs, so I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and special situations. I’m patient, attentive, and truly committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs extra care, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my day to make sure pets get regular walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m flexible with my schedule, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I also make sure to dedicate quality time so pets feel comfortable, safe, and not alone. Caring for pets isn’t just something I fit in—it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy every day. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel secure. I give them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting their individual personality and energy level. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I’m very respectful of the home, keep everything clean, and make sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to behavior and health, and I’m comfortable caring for puppies, active dogs, and seniors who may need extra patience and care.
“Caitlin was wonderful with our fur baby!! She kept us updated through out our entire trip with pictures and videos. She was on time and very professional. She will be our go to girl for all future trips. I would highly recommend Caitlin for any family or friends in the area!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family cared for dogs, cats, and chickens, many of them rescues. Over the years, I've gained experience caring for animals with a variety of personalities, ages, and care needs. I also have experience with pet sitting, dog walking, house sitting, and assisting with Rover clients. Spending time with animals is something I've always genuinely enjoyed, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. When you trust me with your pet, I will care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day and overnight. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, get extra cuddles, or just have someone nearby, I'm happy to give them the attention they deserve. Since I mostly provide care in my clients' homes, I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine, so they feel comfortable while you're away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I will treat your home with respect and keep it clean.
“Alyssa took care of Luna at her home while we were on vacation for four days/three nights. Luna took to her immediately and it was clear that Alyssa has a lot of love and experience with dogs. She was loving and caring and sent us a photo of Luna twice daily with a sweet and fun caption. Alyssa has a wonderful dog, Ace, and Luna and Ace played well together in her spacious fenced in back yard. We were comfortable and enjoyed our time away, knowing that Luna was loved, well taken care of and also well exercised. She had a sweet playmate with Ace the whole time which is a real bonus! We will definitely ask Alyssa again to take care of Luna, when we have to travel without her. Thank you Alyssa for taking care so wonderfully of our Luna !”
“Alice is WONDERFUL. She sent cute pictures and took amazing care of my dog and cat while we were out of town. She left the house spotless and my animals happy. I am so happy we found her and will defintiely have her again.”
“Jolie watched our pets and house when we went on vacation, it was a seamless experience! She left the house spotless, and most importantly, our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned. Our dog is quite anxious and he’s usually extra clingy when we leave him, but not this time! Jolie’s secret to keeping him happy was to make sure he got lots of exercise in the form of extra long walks. She’s a clear communicator, and is responsible and flexible. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“Hannah is an exceptionally competent, communicative, and caring pet and house sitter. She took the time to learn of their routines and needs. Our precious pet family was lovingly cared for while we were away for an extended period of time, which is such a stress relief. It was a joy to come home after a long day of travel to find our home/pets well looked after and prepared for our arrival. We would not hesitate to recommend and rebook Hannah!”
“Stephanie took good care of our sweet kitty, Marley, and our home while we were out of the country. She sent updates and pictures and left everything in order before she left.”
About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.
“Lady and Tigger were adopted by us in September and still have some separation anxiety issues. Kristen was patient with them until they warmed up to a "stranger" and in short order she was sending me pictures of snuggles on the couch. She was wonderful about keeping in touch, sending updates, and left the house spotless. I will definitely reach out to Kristen again next time we are out of town!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Tierra Verde is $50

I had a wonderful experience with Anna! She took great care of my older dog, Holden, and my home while I was away. She was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. It was clear she was kind, patient, and genuinely sweet with Holden. I came home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home. I would definitely book with her again!
Kailyn was excellent with my two dogs during a weekend overnight stay. She walked them daily and did a great job keeping them occupied, happy, and well cared for. She even went above and beyond by helping watch a third dog, our friend’s pup who was visiting from out of town for a night. We’ll definitely be using Kailyn again moving forward. Highly recommend!
This was our first time using Rover and we were so impressed with Julia’s exemplary service. We were camping at Fort DeSoto and needed someone to check in on our Yorkshire Terrier while we took the ferry to Egmont Key. She took great care of him and provided lots of updates. I highly recommend booking with her!
Niko and Willow were so happy with Aimee during her first visit we had her back! Aimee took excellent care of the two dogs and the house they allow me to live in. Aimee has proven herself to be 100% reliable in regards to caring for the dogs and we will absolutely have her back. She’s quickly becoming our most reliable and trusted sitter.
Emily was a great sitter! It’s always a bit nerve wracking to let someone you’ve never met into your home to watch your fur babies while you’re not there. Once I met Emily, I was immediately put at ease. She is professional, attentive, friendly and obviously loves dogs. I have 3 high maintenance Golden Retrievers and she did a great job greeting them which is always overwhelming. She was punctual and sent me a picture of her giving my epileptic dog his medicine, as I requested. I felt comfortable with her in my home and will definitely invite her back to watch my dogs. Thank you Emily!
Rob was fantastic in every way and a HUGE relief for us traveling for two weekends recently with a fairly new puppy at home. Rob was super responsive, kept in constant communication while we were away, and left our house better than we found it both times. Even gave our older dog a bath twice without us asking after he had a bit of an accident on himself. We highly recommend Rob and will absolutely be repeat clients!
Alexandria took wonderful care of my senior dog, Trina , as well as Prince, my energetic boxer, and Lucy, our cat. She was very attentive, kept me well updated, and made sure I always knew how things were going. I really appreciated the regular updates and especially loved receiving pictures of my pets it gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Alexandria and would happily use her again.
We are so grateful to have found Julie! From the moment we booked, they were incredibly communicative and thoughtful - checking in regularly, sending detailed updates, and sharing the sweetest photos that truly put our minds at ease. They went above and beyond in every way - making sure our pets were not only well cared for, but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Julie’s attention to detail and reliability made all the difference. We came home to relaxed, happy pets and a home just as we left it.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tierra Verde
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tierra Verde on Rover is $41.65 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 3,698 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tierra Verde. 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 Tierra Verde 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 Tierra Verde 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 Tierra Verde 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tierra Verde. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
