About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and understanding of animals. I have a Great Dane of my own, so I’m experienced with large breeds and know how to handle dogs of all sizes with confidence and care. I’m also planning to become a veterinarian, so I’m passionate about animal health, behavior, and giving pets the best care possible. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra patience and comfort, I treat every animal like my own — with love, attention, and respect. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I already spend time walking, feeding, and playing with my Great Dane, so caring for other pets fits easily into my routine. I love staying active and spending time with animals, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Since I’m passionate about becoming a veterinarian, I enjoy using every opportunity to learn more about different animals and their needs — so pet care isn’t just part of my routine, it’s something I truly look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, and plenty of playtime or cuddles depending on their personality. I pay close attention to any instructions about feeding, medications, or habits, and I love giving photo updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe.
About: Gentle, patient, and steadfast, I'm a devoted animal lover providing attentive, reliable pet care in Fayetteville. As a natural gentle giant, even the most timid or anxious pets are put at ease. Whether its routine walks, feedings, or visits, I treat every animal like family and ensure they feel safe and cared for. I take pride in leaving your home neat and your pet clean, maintaining an impeccable track record with zero owner complaints. I have successfully pet sit for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments for family and coworkers across Fayetteville and look forward to working with you and your pet! I'm currently working part time and am available both mornings and evenings most days, consistently working 8-4 on Mondays and Fridays, but am allowed some flexibility for morning checks. I frequently do overnight sitting on the weekends and can arrange weekdays as well. I have reliable family as back-up for extra support and to ensure seamless coverage. Respectful and observant, I provide peaceful, high-quality care for pets. I manage drop-ins, feeding schedules, pet upkeep, and interactive play with reliability and ensure you will feel confident leaving pets in my care with my consistency and tidiness.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10! I have had cats, and dogs my whole life and I also raised show goats in high school! I love being able to make animals happy and love on them while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and no travel plans for the future so I will be able to accommodate most schedules to ensure that you and your animal are well taken care of.

About: I have experience in providing comprehensive care for dogs, including feeding, exercise, and administering medications. I am skilled in recognizing behavioral cues, maintaining routines, and ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. Whether it's daily walks, training sessions, or providing companionship, I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment for dogs. I’m currently in school and have a very flexible schedule. I have 7 days a week availability. Monday 12-4pm are the only hours I will not be able to provide a service. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room for our pets to run around. I have one older dog and a small cat. I have extra bedrooms to provide plenty of space for a safe and clean environment.
About: I’ve always had a special place for animals! Growing up, my home was sanctuary to 3 dogs, a cat, sweet guinea pigs, and even on occasion a ladybug or butterfly (in order to prove my caregiving skills to my parents). From my days dog-walking and pet-sitting, I honed in my pet are skills during my time working for a pet store and boarding clinic called Lucky Pets. At Lucky Pets I was able to master my pet-sitting skills, absorb many different types of dog training methods, and learn about all sorts of pet products and pet needs. I’m currently a recent graduate and UCF ROTC commissionee of the U.S. Army, and I’m awaiting my orders this summer. I have a car, and I’m able to drive to your house to watch over your pet! I’m very comfortable hanging out with your pet in mine or your home, and I’m able to feed, walk, and play with any animal big or small!
“Joshua did amazing watching our two dogs. They are super energetic and playful and he was able to keep them worn out by the end of each day. He took very good care with their regimented feeding and sleeping schedule. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I love animals (especially dogs). I’ve cared for tiny dogs, giant dogs and ones in between. I understand that just like all animals have their own personalities, they also have very specific and unique needs. I am an excellent communicator and do very well with instruction! I don’t discriminate from taking care of other animals either- cats, turtles, fish, bunnies.. I work remotely! So I am very flexible on my availability and can schedule and plan/ manage my time accordingly to meet per owner’s needs. I am open to caring for your pet in your home however is needed! Walking, feeding, bathing/ brushing, medicating, unlimited pets etc. I do love to play - so if you have a fenced in yard / prepare to have tired pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 318 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wakulla. 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 Wakulla 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 Wakulla 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 Wakulla 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.
