“We will have David back again! He kept our fur babies safe, and was so kind to them. My one dog usually hides in the bedroom, and she was out and felt comfortable around him. He sent us pics of our dogs, and made sure our little 4lb dog Sprout was safe. Both of our dogs loved him! David was respectful and kept in constant communication with me from beginning to end. We felt at peace leaving our dogs with him!”
“We were very happy with Meghan. She treated our pets (cat and dog) like her own. They were both very relaxed when we got back home. Also she left our home even better than before we left. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: 4 years around dogs from big dog ranch & past work at puppy stores. I do watch my neighbors dogs as well. Frequent updates (with pictures) of your dog. Former police officer😁 Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely from feeding schedules to favorite toys and habits. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize your dog’s well-being. You can count on regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your dog’s safety always comes first. I carefully follow all instructions, keep a close eye on behavior, and make sure your pet is always secure whether we’re at home, on walks, or during playtime. I’m patient, observant, and quick to respond to any changes in your dog’s needs. I maintain a clean, stress-free environment and treat every dog with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for at all times.
“Kiara was by far the best dog/house sitter we have ever had stay in our home & take care of our fur baby. She was very attentive to our dog & communicated with us on a regular basis. She was extremely respectful of our home. Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. In addition to being a pet owner, I previously worked as an Animal Enforcement Officer. That experience gave me the opportunity to work with animals of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds while staying calm, observant, and compassionate in every situation. It also strengthened my ability to recognize animal behavior, prioritize safety, and handle pets with confidence and care. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a laid-back adult, or a senior who needs a little extra patience, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ll happily follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands. I am currently night shift at the hospital so i only work 3 days a week! so plenty of time for your fur babies whenever needed ! I own a fenced in yard and have 2 amazing pups of my own. I do separate them on the opposite side of the house so nothing would ever happen!
“Can’t thank Sandy enough for taking such good care of my pups while I was gone. I get really nervous about new people watching them but after I saw Sandy interact with them I could go on my trip without constantly worrying & that means so much! Definitely booking again :)”
About: What sets me apart as a pet caretaker is my experience. I have started and trained puppies, maintained pets care and their training, and I have assisted senior pets in their finals years and moments. I worked on a farm, was a live in pet nanny where I aided in their well being and trained dogs, I have had dogs my entire life, trained dogs basic commands for the animal shelter, and I currently volunteer at an animal shelter! To say pets well being is my passion is an understatement! I even study dog breeds to make sure each dog gets the best care they can. I currently am super free because I am on summer break from college. I am open and available for your pets whenever you need! My schedule is super flexible. I will treat your home with the upmost respect, that is a guarantee. I will keep it clean and tidy. I am available for lots of play and walks with your pets!!
“I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Linda for the second time! Once again, she exceeded my expectations while taking care of my fur-babies. Linda is incredibly attentive and truly understands my dog's needs. She provided regular updates, shared cute photos and videos that made my time away so much easier. It was clear that my dog felt comfortable and happy, which is all I could ask for. Her dedication to ensuring my fur-baby was well cared for means the world to me. I can't recommend Linda enough! I have already booked her two more times.”
“Savannah was an amazing pet and house sitter. She went above and beyond to not only take care of our furr babies, but take care of our house too! She is very accommodating, communicative and great with our animals. Thank you once again for taking care of our zoo!”
“Linda was amazing. Rocky loved her. We came home to a spotless house. Rocky ate for her, he normally doesn’t eat when his human dad is away. We were very happy with Linda’s care of Rocky.”

Im currently unemployed so, I can spend time and play with your furry babys whenever you need me to or they want to ! It do not have in a fenced in area and I do own 2 cats i would prefer to come and take care of your pets where they are most comfortable
“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!”
“Terry was great! We were visiting Florida from out of town and needed a sitter for 8+ hours with fairly short notice. Our sweet pup isn't always a fan of strangers - especially when we're leaving him with them. Terry was able to win him over - and even sent me a video of her giving him a belly rub! Not only was she willing to stay with him the entire time, but she brought him two toys - one being a stuffed alligator which has become his favorite since we've returned home! Terry clearly loves animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to spoil their pet while they're away - she's Dudley approved!”
“I understand that Rover has many pet sitters to choose from, but we have hit the lottery with Jennifer! She spent time with our baby boy Pete and could not have been more loving, compassionate and attentive. We highly recommend Jennifer for any pet sitting needs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yalaha
David (who actually prefers the nickname "Jack" ) was absolutely phenomenal with our dogs! We have 2 small dogs, one-is very social but the second is very skittish and reluctant to be around people and typically hides in a corner somewhere until the person leaves. She was skittish & shy with Jack at first, but what a difference in just a short time! She was walking around him with her tail up & sleeping next to him on the living room chair! He was very patient and attentive with both of our dogs. Neither lacked for attention. Jack was very flexible for our needs & schedule. We had him stay inside our house for two entire days and was able to feel comfortable with him the entire time. He listened closely to what we expected and followed through without hesitation. He sent us a picture of our dogs and a text during the day to update us on our dogs while we were away to help aleve our worries being away from our babies. Even then, I still touched base with him during the day to check in and give him our updates and he was always quick to respond. I highly recommend Jack and would not hesitate to use him again! Thank you very much!
⸻ David did an amazing job caring for our pets and house sitting while we were away. He took excellent care of our dogs—one who is incontinent and another who had just had surgery and staples removed. He handled everything with patience and responsibility, gave our pup her meds as needed, and made sure all four of our dogs got their walks. He also looked after our cat and kept everything in order at the house. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Highly recommend David!

FAQs for House Sitting - Yalaha
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Yalaha on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,974 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yalaha. 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 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 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.

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.
