“This was the second time David cared for our 2 six month old puppies. They love him! They are a handful and cares for them with ease. Would highly recommend him. I am very comfortable having him stay at my home.”
“Ashley was awesome! Very professional and upfront about her availability. Left our house clean and our pups happy. They are typically on the shyer side and warmed right up to her. Would hire again!”
“Elizabeth was so wonderful with our two cats and two dogs. The dogs loved her right away! She had to give one of our pups a daily allergy pill and she understood exactly what she had to do right away without any qualms. She sent us pictures of contented pets through out her visit. We will definitely have her back for future vacations!”
“This was our first time leaving our pets with someone we didn’t personally know, so naturally, we were a little nervous. However, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such wonderful care of our pets and made us feel so much more comfortable trusting someone new with our fur babies. It means so much to know that our pets were in good hands while we were away. We truly appreciate the care, attention, and love she showed them. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. Thank you for giving us peace of mind and treating our pets so well! ❤️🐾”
“Our dogs loved her and were sad to see her go. Leslie pampered them like the babies they are. Would definitely call on her again in the future. Thank you Leslie for taking such good care of our ladies!”

About: I was raised with dogs & cats my entire life, and even helped train a few. I have experience in raising puppies and younger pets, but wouldn't prefer to take care of any too little. Even though I don't currently own any, I have a lot of experience from previous pets and taking care of other people's dogs through a side-gigs and friends! I would love to meet your animals and take care of them. Their happiness and well-being means the most. I currently attend college part-time and work full-time, but I work with total flexibility, so I have tons of free time. I'm free any weekday minus Monday and Tuesday (varies week by week), and free almost every weekend. I have a ton of time to care for your pets! :) Regardless of where I'll be taking care of your pet(s), I can ensure that nothing will stay messy! Whether the pet needs to take any medication, needs any variations in feeding times, needs to be let out/walked at a certain time, etc, I can certainly guarantee that nothing will be left behind. You can always feel free to leave specific instructions regarding the house or place at any given time!
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 2. I love fur babies more anything. In fact, I wanted to be a veterinarian for the longest time so in high school, I took 4 years of vet assisting, shadowed at a vet clinics and became certified vet assistant! As I got older, I ultimately switched career paths. I work from home now in corporate event planning. This gives me the flexibility to be home with my pets and hopefully take care of yours as well! I do work full time, but fortunately work from home which gives me plenty of flexibility! My pups always get plenty of play time during the work day! Boarding would be perfect. I do have the time to be able to go on walks as well. I have a big fenced yard and have my own dogs. They are all very friendly and love playing with eachother and other dogs. They would love to have another friend to play with!
“Taylor was tremendous for us during our vacation! She took great care of our dog and cat and took care of our house too! She was super caring and considerate of our pets and their senior status. While away, we did not worry one bit, which was such a wonderful relief! Taylor is tops!”
About: Pet Experience: • Experience caring for dogs of various sizes and energy levels • Comfortable with feeding schedules and daily routines • Enjoy walks, playtime, and providing companionship • Patient, attentive, and focused on your dog’s comfort and safety • Regular photo and message updates for pet parents Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m an online student with a flexible schedule. I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs, so walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins are easy to accommodate throughout my day. I can provide reliable care and plenty of attention while keeping your dog’s routine as consistent as possible When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure.

I treat every home with respect, keeping the space clean and ensuring your pet remains safe at all times.

“Angela agreed with a meet and greet and it went well after the initial interview with my male boxer Rocky. He sets the temperature of the room, lol. Within 10 minutes he was licking her face and giving her hugs. I felt at ease at that moment. My two other dogs, loved her from the moment she arrived. We were taking a 7 day vacation which I was very anxious and apprehensive. My dogs have only had one other dog sitter and my dogs are 13, 6 and 5 years old. We have always had our kids take care of them, but now they are adults and have their own pets to take care of. I left Angela a detailed 4 page document (lol) of their daily routine. Plus my Rocky is on seizure medication twice a day, she administered. When she arrived we reviewed everything and felt at ease prior to leaving. During our vacation she stayed in communication with me and sent great photos. She texted me if she had any questioned. She kept our home clean and took amazing care of our 3 fur babies. Angela is very caring and compassionate with our dogs. They were happy to see us when we arrived home. You won’t be disappointed in using Angela to care for your animals. I will be booking her in the next few months.”
“Pat and Sadie were wonderful. Rubi just loves them both. We can’t say enough about Pat. She loves animals and loves caring for them. She took excellent care of our dog Rubi while on a vacation. She kept us inform of Rubi daily. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pet cared for with love. Thank you so much Pat and Sadie.”

My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and trustworthy hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾 My schedule is fairly flexible, allowing me to accommodate pet-sitting and dog-walking needs around working as a hairstylist at a salon.

I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care in your pet’s familiar environment while respecting your home, following your instructions, and keeping your furry family safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. 🤍
“Megan is an absolutely amazing sitter! I am so thankful for her and that she treated my fur baby like she was her own! When we came home, we could tell Mayleigh was well loved and taken care of, along with our house which she didn't have to do! She updated us every day and provided us with many pictures of our baby taken throughout the day. She came over before the days she was supposed to watch Mayleigh to meet her and us. She asked all the right questions and was so sweet! 5/5 recommend Megan for all of your pet sitting needs!”

David was great! Cooper and ginger were well cared for and they had no complaints ;-) So happy we found such a responsible person to care for our furry kids. He left the tv on with some soothing music which gave the house such a nice feeling when we returned home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Yalaha is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $29 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 Yalaha 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 Yalaha 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 Yalaha 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.

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.
