“Haley was absolutely amazing! She's helped me twice already with my girls. She is so sweet and kind to them, this has been the first time my pup didn't break out in anxiety hives when I've had to leave her. That's how amazing Haley is. She went above and beyond and I felt at ease having her help.”
“Caylee did an awesome job taking care of our dog! She sent me updates, with pictures, everyday. When we arrived home my house was clean, tidy, and our dog was very happy. I would definitely recommend Caylee to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter!!”
“Alexander and Diane were wonderful and very attentive to our cats needs and treating him as their own. We were very happy with their communication and flexibility, especially on such short notice. They were very responsible house-sitting and left our home clean. Could not recommend them enough!”
About: Hi, I’m a 24 year-old college student and passionate pet sitter with over 6 years of experience caring for pets🐾 I believe every pet deserves quality, loving care, regardless of their owner’s budget.That’s why I strive to provide affordable pet care without sacrificing the experience, attention, or love your pet receives. I’m proud to have 5 star reviews from my clients, which I believe comes from my commitment to clear communication, reliability, and giving every pet my undivided attention while they’re in my care. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️ Whether your pet needs a quick drop in, a long walk, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! I am currently a part-time college student, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets! I am busy throughout the week so I will only be doing pet-sitting during the weekends when I am off. So if you need a weekend get away then I am person for you!! I don’t believe in fitting an animal into a busy schedule, I would ensure they would be my main priority. I will take care of your pet based on the instructions that are given. I know I would want my pet-sitter to take care of my babies a certain way, so make sure to follow every owners specific rules so I can take care of their fur baby to the best of my ability.
“Maria was great! From beginning to end she was well communicated and focused on prioritizing my pets! She did overnight boarding in our home and even washed and cleaned up the home! She gave them lots of love, treats, and activities for them to do. She sent lots of pictures and is overall a very kind person. She was never away from our fur babies long. I would highly recommend and would ask Maria to watch out girls again.”
About: I’ve had many animals throughout my life and know that caring for them is my passion. I recently lost my Australian shepherd so this will be filling the void! I’m currently going out for maternity leave at work so my schedule is very open to all the fur babies. Size and breed are not an issue I have a fenced in back yard if that’s what your baby is needing. If they are inside then they are welcome to be a furry couch potato!
About: I have always loved animals. I started walking my neighbors dog when I was 15. I have dog sat for many ranging from family, friends, neighbors, and mutuals. I am a recent Auburn grad and do not currently have a full time job. Not many jobs offer me a flexible schedule like this does and I am trying to save money and keep my self busy post-grad. I am always available unless otherwise noted on my calendar. I do not have a dog in Auburn, only when I travel to Foley to stay with family is there a dog in the house. I will abide by the owners preferences but I don’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs and will take care of them as they are my own. I will give your dog as much attention as he or she wants.
“This was my first time using rover. I have to say Selena outdid it. She made my experience great. I will definitely be using her again if I need. A+++++++ would recommend her again. Communication was great. Beautiful pictures of my baby girl. She much more. Thank u Selana”
“Alex stepped in quickly and competently when our first house sitter was not holding up her end of the bargain - (we were very worried about our dog and our home!). This meant he had to just show up without a meet and greet with our gal Lucy (60+ pound mixed breed). He made fast friends with her, kept us updated with cute photos, and put our minds at ease. We’re grateful!”
About: I've had pets since I was little. We got our first dog when I was in about 4th grade. At the moment I have a Guinea pig. I've been to obedience school with my dog before so I think that might come in handy. Other than that. I just want to enjoy their company. And also keep an eye on your bundle of joy for you. I've had pitbulls, pinkingneses, and a beagle before but I mostly know about smaller dogs. I've read a plethora of dog books from my local library during my early teenage years to get a good understanding of most species. I also am constantly researching anything I need to, on more than just Google and wikipedia but multiple sources. I hope I can be of service to anyone who would have me. I work two part time jobs and am looking to fill my time with some fur babies. The time spend at both jobs is equal to less than 40 hours. I have a crate trained dog in my home and plenty of yard to run around. I live on a dirt road so it is not traveled often.
About: Well my name is Jasmine I'm from Long Beach California I've had a passion for dogs my whole entire life I had my own dog walking business when I was 9 whenever I see a stray dog I would pick it up and take it home take care of it I am also going to school for veterinary assistant and veterinary technician I feel like dogs understand me and I understand them and they can tell when they are around someone that really loves them and that won't harm them I feel like a understand them a lot I've never been back and besides my children they will be treated with the most love and care for me I have more than enough experience with dogs

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wacoochee Valley
Arianna was a huge blessing when she stayed for 2 weeks at our house with our 2 boxers and a couple feathered friends as well. She communicated very well. She took them on walks and engaged in play with them. The house was clean and picked up when we got home. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wacoochee Valley is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $41 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 Wacoochee Valley 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 Wacoochee Valley 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 Wacoochee Valley 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
