About: Hi! I work remotely and plan on staying in Salt Lake City in the month of August-October. I’m available for house and dog sitting. I’m a huge animal lover and had a rescue dog of my own who sadly passed away last year. Since my work and travel schedule doesn’t allow me to have a dog right now, I truly miss being around them, which is why I joined Rover. My goal is to provide reliable, high-quality care and build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Thanks to my flexible schedule, I’m also happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever possible. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I work from home so the dogs will always be next to me and won't have separation anxiety. I always make time to play and love taking dogs for walks! I have a fenced yard and one dog. There is a park near my house and I always make sure the dogs are on a leash and harness.
“Kaylin watched my 2 pups for 6 days and housesat for us as well. She sent me daily updates and photos so I knew my pups were happy. She was able to do some leash and obedience training with both of them. She also trimmed their nails, groomed them, and picked up our house! She’s awesome! I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future.”
About: I’m not going to sugar coat anything I’m no pet trainer, but I can most certainly be there when you need the help! Need your pets cared for while you’re away? Or your house? Give me a call! Currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care of your pets and or homes, I am available Monday to Sunday at anytime. I have been around animals (mainly dogs) my whole life. Animals just like people have emotions it’s just our job as a pet owner to know what they need, that’s what I’m here for.
About: We love animals, are very attentive, send videos and updates on their stay, and I also have a veterinary technology degree! We’re very comfortable administering meds or special needs animals! :) I own my own cleaning business, so I make my own schedule, and am able to be home, to tend to your adorable fur babies! Our yard is 3/4 fenced in, so we walk all pups 4-6 times a day. We are very hands on and love to go on walks around our super cute neighborhood.
“Larissa is the BEST! I was very anxious leaving my girls but Larissa made me feel so confident that our girls would be in the BEST hands. She was always on time, extremely responsive, sent me photos of the pups daily and followed the directions I left for the girls. I also feel like she truly cared for our pups and spent extra time working with them on some of their quirks and made them feel loved while we were out of town. She left our home in immaculate condition and very clean. I will 100% be re-booking Larissa for future pet care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pets. Larissa I cannot thank you enough for taking such great care of our girls and home while we were away!”
“I have never used a pet sitting service before and I can honestly say that I couldn't be more pleased. Kenneth was the absolute best!! He kept me updated with daily text and pictures. He even washed the rug after Gidget had an accident and my house was exactly the way I left it. Kenneth will always be my first choice. If you want the best, then hire Kenneth. You will not be disappointed.”

Communication is key and quite frankly unavoidable, I like to let the pet themself feel me out. You can pay me to come but only your pet can want to keep me around.

“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”
“John G looked after our two medium sized dogs and 18-year-old cat for five days in our home. John was communicative punctual great with the dogs and personable. I would not hesitate to recommend John as a Pet Sitter.”
About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.
“Sarah is great! My dog is very needy and requires a lot of attention to remain comfortable. Upon returning home after their first visit I walked into my dog happy, sleeping and very content. It means a lot when your dog sitter treats your dog the same way you do so that the time away is less stressful on your pet. I will be using Sarah for watching Mona Lisa over and over. Thank you!!!”
About: One of my favorite things in the whole world are animals, especially dogs. 🐶 I had the most amazing dog, a yorkie mix named Spencer. 🐕 Rescuing him was one of the best decisions I ever made! He was the sweetest, funniest, most adventurous and loyal dog. I rescued him but he truly rescued me. We had 10 years together and I am truly grateful for every moment. I miss him everyday. But I know I gained a guardian angel. 🐶🩵😇 I have always loved dog sitting and taking care of animals. When my dog Spencer passed, taking care of other peoples animals truly helped heal me from losing Spencer. It became a passion and a calling.

“Kristina was extremely communicative (pics and text updates) and attentive to our two little fur babies for a full weekend. She took very good care of our place as she spent a few nights as part of our sitter requirements for the weekend. The pups had no problem taking a liking to her and feeling right at home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wauchula
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 417 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wauchula. 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 Wauchula 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 Wauchula 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 Wauchula 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.
