“Alexis accepted our request short notice and gave us so much comfort in knowing our little one was taken care of. She came over next day for meet and greet. She sent photo and text updates with our pup. We felt very secure and safe having her in our home, taking care of Myla.”
“I highly recommend Armando! He treated our babies as his own. He shared plenty of updates and photos. Wonderful experience, will definitely request him again!!”
“Aimee is amazing!! She was so great with my Shih Tzu, Bailey!! She was so accommodating. My trip was last minute and unexpectedly had to be extended an extra day and she was wonderful about it! Bailey is scared of storms and unfortunately there was some bad weather while I was away. She made sure he was comfortable, calm, and safe. She sent regular updates and adorable pics of Bailey! She took excellent care of my plants and my house in addition to my little guy! I already have her booked for another stay in September. I highly recommend her!”
“Alyssa was amazing with our 2 year old frenchtons . She stayed at our home and sent us a lot of videos and photos. She played and snuggled with them and gave them lots of love. I highly recommend Alyssa. She really cared and that goes a long way for us.”
“Elise stayed @ my home with my Callie girl for 5 days & did an outstanding job!! She checked in sending pictures several times throughout the days & let me know what they were doing. I trusted her completely in my home. Very nice young lady & will recommend her to anyone to dog sit their fur babies”
“Upon our animals meeting Kristen - you could tell they were immediately comfortable. She house sit for a couple of weeks while we were traveling - including taking care of our dog, cat, mail and plants. Everything went well and her presence really helped us relax during the vacation. Would highly recommend Kristen for any related services.”
About: dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’m also a college athlete, so I’m very active and would love taking your pup on walks, playing with them, and keeping them entertained! I’ve also gone along with a close friend who works for Rover multiple times, which has given me experience seeing what goes into caring for different dogs and making sure they are happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m responsible, patient, and caring, and I always want to make sure each dog’s individual routine and needs are followed. I’ll treat your pup like my own and keep you updated with pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! As a college athlete, I have a busy but structured schedule, so I’m very good at planning ahead and managing my time. I’m happy to work pet care into my daily routine and make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting depending on my class and practice schedule, and I’ll always communicate my availability clearly with each owner. When caring for a pet, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including their feeding schedule, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences. I’m very attentive and make sure pets are never put in unsafe situations. Since I’ve owned four dogs myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll give each dog plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles while also respecting their space and personality. I’ll also keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they know their pup is happy and doing well.
About: Many dogs are drawn to me-they sense my calm, attentive energy. It’s not just about keeping them company; I enjoy connecting with them on a deeper level. I like to incorporate training into our time together if I can, whether it’s reinforcing good behaviors or teaching fun new tricks. It keeps their minds active and builds trust between us. I am delighted to house sit for your pets, but I too, have a dog that would need to attend. She is a very well behaved 22 pounds 6 year Klee-Kai Aussie mix. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pet gets plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re surrounded by several dog parks and have plenty of space for walks and sniffing adventures. If your pet enjoys sunshine and fresh air, they may love lounging on my fenced patio. It’s secure, cozy, and fully visible from where I work, so I can always keep an eye on them. I have a medium crate and a gate available for a safe designated space if needed. A secure tie-out on the patio can be set up if extra precautions are necessary to prevent fence jumping.
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. 🐶😺
“Marina was great. She took great care of our small zoo and shared regular updates with pictures. It felt good that we could focus on our travel and know that our pets were in good hands. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so they have always just been a part of the family. My sister/ roommate recently adopted a sweet little angel kitty Lola and I’ve helped my old roommates out with their cats as well! I recently just graduated from USF with a BFA in Theatre Arts, with that comes the free time and schedule as my choosing until I book a gig :) I have full time availability as of right now and would love you help you with your fur baby! I will not bring pets into my home but can definitely visit yours and your fur baby as needed! I look forward to meeting you and your fur child
“Blaize was an absolutely AMAZING house and pup sitter. She took great care of our home, even alerting us to issues so we didn't come back to any surprises. We came back to a clean home and the healthiest, happiest pup ever. We could tell she took care of her just like it was her own, which we are so thankful for! We definitely look forward to her staying with our pup in the future! Thanks again, Blaize!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so they have always just been a part of the family. I recently adopted my sweet perfect angel kitty Lola and helped my old roomates out with their cats so I love them as well. I am a law student so I have 2-3 hour classes periodically throughout the week. I also volunteer as a Guardian Ad Litem and with gulf coast legal services so sometimes I have those obligations as well. I will not bring pets into my home but can definitely visit yours and your fur baby as needed! I look forward to meeting you and your fur child
“Ben was accommodating by fitting us in on short notice for house-sitting. He was very detailed in his care for birdie, making note of Birdie's temperament toward strangers, feeding behavior, and idiosyncrasies. We will definitely be using Ben again for house and dog sitting needs. Thank you Ben!”
About: I grew up around dogs and have always loved animals. My family has fostered dogs for many years, so I've cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. All of my own pets are rescues, which has taught me how important patience, compassion, and making a dog feel safe and comfortable can be. As a college student away from my fur babies back home, I am so excited to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles while you're away. I am a college student, so my schedule is a bit wonky; please feel free to message me with any questions! My typical availability is listed below: Monday: 11:45-3:00 & After 4:50 Tuesday: After 11:30 Wednesday: 11:45-3:00 & After 4:50 Thursday: After 11:30 Friday: After 11:45 Saturday & Sunday: Unavailable unless arranged in advance I am open to anything regarding your pet's lifestyle. Whether that’s long walks or even runs, crating, potty training, car rides, or lots and lots of play!
About: I’ve had dogs and/or cats since I was 4 and was always the one caring for them. I started pet sitting 6 years ago after watching a neighbors pet and realizing how much i enjoyed caring for them. I love walking, feeding and playing with them. On occasion i’ve found myself having to get them cleaned up after a day of fun so bathing isn’t a problem. I’m currently working part time from home and flexible with times. I’m an early riser therefore mornings don’t bother me and depending on distance I can be available in the evening. Currently I have two cats so their fun activities are kept indoors. There’s a cat tree they love to relax on and they both LOVE water so i’ll give them fresh water from the faucet. In clients home I’ll abide by any preferences they have for their pets and play with them non stop.
About: Dogs have been part of my life forever! I’m excited to give your furry friend plenty of love, attention, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I work from home so it offers me the flexibility to care for your pet. As a former dog owner I understand pets need love. I prefer to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I know from experience how much comfort that gives the dogs

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tierra Verde
We had an amazing experience. From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease. Communication was excellent. We came home to relaxed, happy pets and a home that was exactly as we left it. We’ll absolutely will be booking Hannah again. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
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!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tierra Verde
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tierra Verde on Rover is $43.87 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 3,650 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
- 93% 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.
