“Stephanie did a wonderful job caring for our home and pets while we were away in Japan for two weeks. She took excellent care of Lucky and August, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip. We returned to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. Stephanie was dependable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. We would gladly book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
About: With over six years of hands-on experience working with dogs and their families, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. My goal is to provide compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind. My experience includes caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those who need extra patience and attention. I believe in using positive, calm interactions to build trust and help every dog feel secure. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, providing drop-in visits, or caring for them while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, exercise, feeding schedules, medications, and the little details that help pets feel at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, photos, and the confidence that your pet is receiving attentive, loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I am available to work with and care for your pets. Also, available on weekends at any time of the day. I have Dog Training experience for 6 years so I know how to help work with your dog on enforcing positive basic commands and help prevent unwanted behavior including anxiety.
“Carrie is an incredibly caring and attentive pet sitter who is great about staying in touch. She sent me so many adorable pics of my pups while I was away, and my pups absolutely love her! Highly, highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Mona! She was on time, attentive, and professional, and she made us feel completely comfortable knowing our fur babies, Ziggy and Rooster, were in such good hands. Mona kept us updated throughout her time with them, which we really appreciated. The best part is that Ziggy and Rooster absolutely loved her! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares for our dogs, and we would highly recommend Mona to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”
“Yesenia was wonderful! She looked after my dog while I was away on vacation. Dropped in frequently, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very responsive. Would highly recommend to anyone going away or who needs someone to let their dog out while they’re at work.”
About: I adore dogs and I will love your furry, four-legged family member like my own! I will give them a ton of love and take them for long walks and give them plenty of belly rubs! I have taken care of pets since I was 13 years old and I have loved every minute of it. It's taught me a lot and I promise your fur baby will be well taken care of! Give me a call!! I do work full time but my schedule is typically afternoon shifts so I can be home overnight with your fur babies and I am free to spend as much time with them when I am not working! I am open to staying over with your pet or running over at any time to check on them. I have a car so I could also drive to any appointments as well and I send a ton of pictures every day to keep you updated!
“Charity and her husband, Jeff, took great care of our dog! Our dog is suffering from a progressive disease that has affected his hind legs. He is only able to stand with the use of his dog wheels. He also requires oral medication twice a day. I had contacted Charity last minute after an unsuccessful overnight stay at a kennel. At our meet and greet, I could tell she was a person that loves dogs, and George took to her instantly! When we returned home George was happy and not stressed at all. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of my fur baby!”
“Thank, CJ for staying at our apartment over the weekend and taking such good care of Clover! We appreciated the daily photos/videos and how you followed his schedule. We also appreciate how the apartment was clean and tidy when we arrived back home. Hopefully you can watch Clover again soon!”
“I'm so beyond happy and grateful they responded to my request and understood our needs while traveling. This was my first time using the app. If I'm in the area again I know who to reach out too. Thank you”
“Stephanie took great care of Mac while she was house sitting! She took him on daily walks, sent daily updates, and was respectful of our home. I would use Stephanie again in the future!”
“Rebecca was fabulous! My oldest pup passed away just a couple of days before she was scheduled to take care of them for a few days and she came over to my house the day he passed on her own time to comfort me because she knew I was alone. She really went above and beyond, her caring heart really shined through. I am so very appreciative for all that she did to help get me through this difficult time and know that my other pup was well cared for!”
“Lindsay did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats and senior dog! She stayed at the house and everything worked out perfectly! She also sent pictures and updated me throughout our trip! Definitely recommend her for any pet needs!”

“Willow did a great job watching our 14 year old cockapoo the two days while we were out golfing. Very reliable and professional. Great communication. Highly recommend and will be using her help again on our next trip to Amelia Island.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a special love for them. I grew up with both horses and dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two Pit Lab mixes of my own who are truly my children! I also regularly help care for my sister’s dog when needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in American Beach on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,129 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across American Beach. 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 American Beach 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 American Beach 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 American Beach 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 American Beach. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
