“Sharon was amazing with my nervous, reactive dog! She was so patient and calm, and it really showed—my pup was relaxed and happy when I got home. I’m so grateful to have found someone who really understands dogs like this. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She was available on short notice on a holiday weekend to watch my cat and my current foster dog (who only has three legs!) Kaitlyn went out of her way to go over the tripod's care and gave me updates on her improving mobility. She took great care of our pets and our home and I would use her again!”
“The zoo was well taken care of and loved. Thank you so much for cuddling with the old pup and playing with 3 cats! I never felt anxious about our pets or house while we were gone, thank you so much.”
“Jasmine was everything you want in a puppy sitter. She is kind, compassionate & loves your dog as her own! Chloe took to her immediately and vise versa. She listened attentively as we discussed Chloe & her Adisons. We felt very comfortable leaving Chloe in her care for a few hours while we enjoyed an afternoon out. I wouldn't hesitate to use Jasmine again or recommend her (& Rover!)”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old till present day. From my neighbors to friends of family! I have huge passion and love for all dogs— from big to small. Along with studying and working towards getting into school for veterinary! I’m currently working part time so my availability is very open and flexible! I am able to adjust my hours and prioritize what’s most important :) I live in a gated community along with a full fenced in backyard. I myself have a little dog (maybe some can say fat lol) miniature schnauzer named Shadow! He is 7 years old, and is very friendly. Majority of the time just sunbathing lol! I firmly believe it is very important for dogs to get backyard time/sun/playtime because it’s very good for their mental health and helps prevent depression in dogs! I’m open to travel stay too— give, follow, and do whatever is needed of me!
About: Hi! I’m Nicole. 🐾 While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to pet care! I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and started pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors while growing up. Before opening my own successful pet care business in Miami, I worked in professional boarding and daycare facilities, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. It was there that I learned bathing, deshedding, nail trims, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and coat care. More importantly, it inspired me to create something different—a true home away from home where pets receive personalized, one-on-one care instead of spending their stay in a kennel. Over the years, I built a successful pet care business in Miami, earning the trust of hundreds of repeat clients, families, professionals, and even celebrity clients. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, so your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, supervision, and companionship in a safe, cage-free home. I treat every pet like family and love sending daily photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved. As a little thank-you, every boarding currently includes a complimentary spa refresh before pickup with a bath (if needed), brushing, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, a nail trim (if tolerated), and a fresh spritz. I can’t wait to welcome your pup into our family! ❤️ I’m home full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, grooming, and loving personalized care every day 🤍 I provide a safe, clean, loving home environment with routine care, playtime, supervision, and attention tailored to each pet’s needs and comfort to give the best experience
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all types since I was 8 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, etc. the list goes on! I love all animals and strive to give them the best experience when in my care. Thankfully, I have a knack for gaining even the most stubborn animals’ trust, and have never met a pet I couldn’t befriend. I look forward to working with your fur buddies and hanging out with some new “Pawsome Pals”! I have a very open schedule and can add caring for your pet to nearly any day of my week! I look forward to booking you in and making more fur friends. I take my clients safety and security very seriously. For example, when in others homes I endeavor to respect their space and belongings by only accessing common areas and rooms I am explicitly given permission to enter, avoiding possibly dangerous situations with their pets (i.e always having a dog secured on a leash when walking outside of a fenced in yard), etc. I follow all house rules and offer full communication throughout the job (I.e text updates throughout, pictures, etc.).

I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection.

“Alexis immediately bonded with our two pets during the 1st meet-and-greet. She is a confident, focused individual and handled pet-sitting our dogs on two different dates with minimal instructions. Needless to say we rewarded her extra on both days showing our gratitude. Best Regards-GG ✌️”
About: Wear 2 Go Services on Facebook I've cared for all the typical animals and more. I'm not shy with them, remain calm and patient at all times. Just tell me the quirky things they need/do and I'm here to help! I am able to do adjust to most any schedule. Whether you need early morning, afternoon, evening or even overnight. Even if you need just a drop in here or there or extended care, every pet parent should have the security of knowing their babies or home are cared for! I will come to your home to provide care. I love taking special walks, car ride adventures or playing fetch. Just spending quality time with your babies and ensuring the Auntie level care while you're away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Timber Pines
Shantel is amazing. I don't even know where to begin. She was a blessing for sure. She took the best care of my fur babies and was so knowledgeable about so many things. I am so lucky to have found her and blessed. This was a first for us to have a sitter in our home, but I couldn't have anyone more respectful and prompt. Thank you Shantel for all you did and looking forward to our next getaway. Blessings to you and your mom ❤️

The average cost of House Sitting in Timber Pines is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $70 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 Timber Pines 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 Timber Pines 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 Timber Pines 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.
