About: I have had experience with dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. Anyone I know who is in need of a sitter, I am their first call. I have experience giving medications and dealing with energetic animals. As a future Biologist I am looking for as much animal experience as possible. I am currently enrolled at FSCJ taking 1 college class (chem 2) on Tuesday and Thursday 9am-12pm. I am currently unemployed and hastily looking for work. I take very high precautions to ensure a safe and trustworthy place for my animals and yours. My dog is older and isn't very active, however she isn't my first dog and as a puppy was very energetic and of high maintenance.

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.

“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! ❤️”

About: Hi! I’m Jerrica, a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with 10 years of experience in the veterinary medical field and a lifelong love for animals. 🐾 My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by caring for your pets like they’re part of my own family. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable recognizing when something seems “off,” caring for pets with a variety of needs, and making sure every pet in my care is safe, comfortable, and happy. Pet sitting with me is about more than meals, potty breaks, and a cozy place to sleep! I incorporate mental enrichment, playtime, exercise, affection, and plenty of one-on-one attention based on your pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether they love toys and games, exploring outside, snuggling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I want their stay to feel like a fun little vacation of their own. 🐶🐱❤️ When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like family—because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to care for mine. Pet care isn’t something I have to squeeze into my schedule—it is my schedule! 🐾 As a full-time pet sitter, my days are centered around the pets in my care, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and enrichment throughout the day. I keep my schedule flexible so I can accommodate each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, potty breaks, walks, medications, play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, active, and feeling like part of the family! 🐾❤️ For pets staying with me, I have a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and potty breaks, and I also offer leash walks for exercise and enrichment. For dogs who enjoy a little adventure and have their owner’s permission, I can provide transportation to local dog parks for some extra exercise and fun. My home also includes my friendly little Corgi, Cheesecake, along with my two school-aged kids, so pets who enjoy children and other dogs have plenty of opportunities for companionship, playtime, and attention. Of course, I tailor each stay to the individual pet—quieter guests are given their own space and downtime, while our social butterflies can join in on the fun! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. No matter which service you choose, I want your pet to receive the same kind of attentive, loving care I’d want for my own. 🐶🐱

“This was the first time Lindsay stayed over and watched our boys. She was very responsive and sent updates and pictures especially with our older Bo being afraid of the storms. I had piece of mind that he was well taken care of. Lindsay kept our house very clean. We have her booked for several future visits. Thanks you very much for taking care of our Bobo and Oliver!! We appreciate you!!”

About: I've been caring for pets of all kinds since I was a little girl. For the last 5 to 6 years I've worked at multiple doggy daycares and boarding facilities. I can handle very large dogs.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including multi-pet households where cats and dogs lived together successfully. I understand the different needs of each species and follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions precisely. My focus is always on creating a calm, consistent environment so every pet feels safe and owners can leave with complete peace of mind. I work a remote Medicare sales job that gives me flexible hours and the ability to set my own schedule. This means I can easily plan pet care visits, drop ins, or overnight stays around my work without conflicts. I treat every pet with complete focus and responsibility. I follow all feeding and medication instructions exactly, keep litter areas clean and odor free, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and maintain a calm, consistent routine that prioritizes the animal’s safety and comfort at all times.

“Stephanie was amazing! This was our first time leaving the pups for a week (one is only 5 months old and full of energy). She took excellent care of our babies while we were away. She sent us photos and videos of the pups with updates. She went above and beyond. Even gave my pup a bath before we got home. It’s not easy leaving your pups but we were at ease knowing they were being so well taken care of while we were away. So grateful we found her! Highly recommend!! Would love to have her watch our pups again!”

About: With over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and three years with cats, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every pet I meet. As a proud pet parent to a playful Pitbull, a loyal King Shepherd, a curious Tabby, and a cuddly Calico, I truly understand the unique needs and personalities that come with each breed and species. I’m experienced with everything from puppy energy to senior pet routines, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, medications, and hygiene. Whether you’re away for a weekend or just need daily support, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention Pet care is part of my everyday life. As a pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I’m already on a daily schedule that includes morning walks, feeding routines, playtime, and grooming. I structure my days around their needs, which makes it easy to integrate the care of other pets into my routine. Whether it’s early morning check-ins, midday walks, or evening feedings, I’m flexible and fully committed to making sure every pet I care for gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s how I live. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your pet’s routine and give them the attention they deserve. Walks are tailored to their pace and energy, and drop-ins include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of love. I also make sure your home stays secure and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe.

FAQs for House Sitting - American Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in American Beach is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $50 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.

As of November 2026, there are 1,105 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in American Beach. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
