“Could not recommend María enough. She will go above and beyond for you and your pets and treat them like her own. I left my puppy for the first time and María took such good care of him. When I got home he was clean (she had bathed him!), happy, healthy, and had a fat little stomach which means he was eating good while I was gone, which was a huge worry of mine given how small he is. She hand fed him to make sure he ate and was getting enough food in. I am so grateful for her and her kindness towards animals. María is extremely trustworthy, kind, and caring. Please give her the opportunity to care for your furry friends, you will not regret it!!! Thank you so much María for taking care of my baby. If needed, I will absolutely be using her services again.”

“Ali is awesome!! She took great care of my senior boy and my little deaf boy. There were meds and diapers for the senior boy, and wooing for the tiny deaf chi! She won them over, sent pics and updates! I had to extend my leave for an extra 2 days. She was able to accommodate the extra time. She is the best!”

“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!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my entire life and absolutely love being around animals! I’ve trained multiple dogs over the years, and I’ve even attempted to train a few cats—but that’s still a work in progress. 😸 I enjoy taking the pups for walks and runs, playing fetch at the dog park and giving them all the love and attention. You can find me playing “Where did the red dot go?” with my feline friends and also giving them all the love and attention. I have experience with drop-in visits and in-home pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routes. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending my free time taking care of animals. I enjoy being active and already go on plenty of walks and runs. Adding a dog would just making my walks a lot better! I follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeing, walking, playtime, and medication if needed. I’m respectful of your home, and make sure everything in clean and locked up before I leave. I also update you with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and taken care of. 🐶😺

“We had a wonderful experience with Caroline who we trusted to stay at our home for nearly a week caring for our 3 pets. We came home to calm dogs, a happy kitty, and a clean house in perfect condition. Such a relief knowing everything was so well cared for while we were away! Communication was easy, and we loved receiving photos and updates while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing the girls were in good hands. Would 100% recommend and happily book again!”

About: Hi! I’m an artist with a gentle heart, a creative spirit, and a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I’ve been pet sitting for 10 years and have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including big and little dogs, cats and kittens, birds, and reptiles. I’m kind, patient, attentive, and committed to making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and routines, and I take the time to get to know each pet and build trust at their own pace. Whether it’s going for walks with energetic dogs, playing with curious kittens, keeping birds company, or providing attentive care for reptiles, I approach every responsibility with compassion and care. As a creative person, I appreciate the unique character of every animal, and I love getting to know them. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved pets are in caring, patient, and experienced hands! I am an artist that works on my own schedule so I am quite flexible. I normally get up around 9 am and go to sleep around 12am. I watch animals at clients homes, I am available for long term care. For example three weeks to two months. I can watch your animal babies while you are away and you can have peace of mind.

“Jane was EXCELLENT!! She went above and beyond to make sure she and Tally got along before committing to house sitting with her, provided regular updates throughout the weekend, and then stayed past her scheduled time until we arrived home after Tally got into something in the backyard and wasn't feeling well. We will definitely be using Jane again in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

About: I not only raised 17 of them—each with their own quirks, needs, and personalities—but I've done so alongside becoming a vet tech and studying to be a veterinarian. That means I'm not just giving belly rubs (though I’m sure fantastic at those)—I'm also bringing real medical knowledge, behavioral insight, and lifelong intuition to every interaction. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—before class, between shifts, and weekends—offering consistent, loving attention while balancing vet tech duties and veterinary studies. Its life. I care with patience, love, and skilled hands—providing routine, comfort, play, and medical and emotional support. Every pet gets my full attention, respect, and heartfelt compassion.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tierra Verde

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Tierra Verde is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 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.

As of October 2026, there are 3,634 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 , 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.

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
  • 97% 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.
