“Sydne came over to babysit my pups for a firework holiday because one of them is very nervous, and she did really well with them. I got updates all evening, and she asked questions if she needed. I felt nervous at first, because I had a bad experience with someone last year, but she was a breath of fresh air for me. I'll definitely be contacting her again!”


“Victoria was an absolute lifesaver for us while we were visiting Alligagor Point this year! We needed last-minute care for our sweet Angel girl so we could enjoy a fishing charter we had to readjust with weather (on go home day) and Victoria went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly accommodating with our schedule and even came to pick Angel up from the marina, which made things so much easier for us. From the moment they met, it was obvious how much she loves animals. Angel was completely spoiled with attention and care—even after being a little mischievous and deciding to take an unexpected swim in their pool! Victoria is kind, responsible, communicative, and has the sweetest personality. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with the pets she cares for, and they absolutely adore her right back. She’s heading off to college soon, so if you’re looking for an amazing sitter this summer, book her while she’s still local! We would trust her with Angel again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend her highly enough. We hope she is back home from college next summer when we revisit so that Angel can hang out with her again. We only wish we had found her sooner in the week so that Angel could have had a few more play dates while we were in town.”


“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”


“Kayla was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my two cats, sent me adorable pictures and videos while I was away, and made me feel completely at ease. She’s dependable, kind, and treated my boys like her own. I came home to happy, well-fed cats and everything perfectly in order. I truly appreciate her reliability and the love she shows for animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again — highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! ❤️🐾”

About: I work full time as a lead emergency veterinary technician. Love spending time with all animals from puppies, seniors all the way to being there for end of life care. Available for in home boardings, mine or yours. Cuddle and play time are important so I make sure I spend as much time with your baby so they are stress feee and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard. All animals allowed on the furniture. I want it to feel like they are home when they are here.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. In the past couple of years, I even started taking care of horses! I’m open to learn anything about pet sitting and see this as a great way to help out those in my community. I’m a current graduate student in class most of the day. After 5 pm might work best and weekends are usually open. I’m open to work around schedule if necessary. I would be honored to pet sit in your home honor any wishes to maintain boundaries and respect of your private space. Please let me know in advance of any specific needs.
“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”

About: Been around dogs, cats, gerbils, and birds throughout my life. All pets are considered family. They need love, respect, and guidance, too. I have walked dogs, groomed cats, cleaned out kennels, cages, and cat boxes, and play is important even for older pets. Most of my days have availability for pet care. A good time for care could be early morning, mid day, or late afternoon/evening just keep communication clear and timely. I have two cats who require biscuit making cuddles and play everyday. I groom their fur and shorten their nails as needed. Feeding for them is twice a day and their play incorporates exercise.
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my two boys! She communicated well and sent pictures, which gave me great peace of mind! Will definitely book with her again!”

“Andrew is great! He really cared about our dog and frequently updated us on how the dog was doing. He also left the house spotless. We will definitely hire him again.”


About: I have over 6 years of experience as a veterinary technician and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have experience administering medications (oral, topical and injectable), recognizing early signs of illness and maintaining structured, low stress routines. I do best with dogs that are comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time and thrive on consistency. I take a calm, patient approach and tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s relaxed companionship, routine potty breaks or extra attention for seniors. My goal is to provide reliable, stress free care while keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I have a flexible schedule and structure my day around pet care visits, drop-ins and overnight stays. I’m able to provide consistent morning and evening care, along with mid-day visits when needed. For house sitting, I provide overnight care and routine check-ins throughout the day, while maintaining a realistic schedule outside of the home. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to reduce stress while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining a calm, clean and secure environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications and household routines. With my background as a veterinary technician, I’m trained to recognize early signs of illness or stress and respond appropriately. I take a low stress, patient approach and respect each pet’s comfort level, especially with shy or sensitive animals. I’m reliable, detail-oriented and treat every home and pet with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own.
“We absolutely loved Carolina! She was communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our two cats and our home. She even went above and beyond by taking care of the litter boxes, even though we told her she didn’t need to. She’s incredibly trustworthy, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We can’t wait to book with her again!”

“As this was only the second time leaving my dog with someone else, I was understandably anxious. However, Deborah's attentiveness to my dog's needs made all the difference. She kept me updated on how my dog was adjusting, sharing uodates and photos. The fact that Deborah even offered to pick up and drop off my dog at my house was above and beyond what I expected. Her dedication and kindness truly made this experience fantastic. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Adrian did a great job caring for my dog. We were able to meet before my weekend away and by the time my trip came up I confidence that everything was going to go great. He sent picture updates and was very quick to respond. Looking forward to working with Adrian again in the future!”

We are early risers, starting with a morning walk and breakfast at 6:00 AM, followed by frequent outdoor breaks every few hours. We prioritize nutrition and long-term health; Dwight follows a specialized diet of raw food, kibble, and daily supplements (turkey tail, green-lipped mussels, cognitive support, and CBD). Our evenings typically include a long, stimulating walk at Shelby Park. We are also diligent with grooming, providing weekly baths and nail maintenance to ensure they stay clean and comfortable. In our own home, our routine is completely centered on our pets—they are never left unattended for long periods. Dwight is always nearby while Nichole works, allowing us to maintain a watchful, attentive environment. We utilize enrichment tools like lick mats, Kongs, and snuffle mats to keep their minds engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we mirror the care we give our own. Every pet’s unique schedule—from feeding times to bathroom breaks—is strictly followed. We are highly experienced in administering complex medications and supplements. We understand that a change in routine can be stressful for animals, so our priority is to provide a calm, affectionate, and predictable environment. We are respectful of your home’s boundaries and will keep you consistently updated so you can travel with complete peace of mind.

I'm relocating to Tallahassee at the end of July and will be job hunting, which means I'll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets.

My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet!
“Isaac was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! Super caring, attentive, and really took the time to understand our dog’s needs. He spent the whole weekend playing with him and making sure he was happy and comfortable. On top of that, he surprised us with a beautiful sketch of our dog, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came home to a very happy pup and couldn’t recommend him more!”

Gabby is the BEST. I have 3 dogs, 2 are the pickiest eaters I've ever had, and Gabby gets them to eat! Nothing short of a miracle. Like anyone who loves their dogs, you worry and feel guilty you left them and Gabby takes those worries away with her patience and love for your fur babies.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wakulla Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wakulla Springs on Rover is $85.47 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 316 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wakulla Springs. 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 Springs 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 Springs 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 Springs 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 Wakulla Springs. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
