“Anthony was great! Sent multiple updates, pictures and also alleviated any concerns we had throughout our trip. He Was very professional and followed our request and instructions perfectly. Will definitely recommend him to anyone!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner for years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pet. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, including senior dogs who may need a little extra patience, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, giving lots of love and attention, and adjusting to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pup is in loving, reliable hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with both dogs and cats. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule so they can feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure dogs are safely leashed and secure before walks, and I’m attentive to their surroundings while we’re outside. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, food if needed, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and will always keep them updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Frederick stayed at our house to watch my senior Doberman over the Fourth of July weekend. My dog has mobility issues, anxiety, needs frequent potty breaks, and requires a lot of hands-on care. The love, patience, and affection Frederick showed him went far beyond our expectations and anything we've experienced with previous pet sitters. Frederick was always quick to respond, very respectful, and followed all of our instructions carefully, including giving multiple medications. He also took great care of our home and left everything clean and tidy. I honestly can't recommend Frederick enough. Knowing my dog was so well cared for gave us so much peace of mind, and I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay with him again.”
“Leo helped me out when I was in a jam. He agreed to take care of my dog and cat on very short notice and did a great job with them, keeping me informed multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had several dogs as I grew up. Pitbulls mostly. I love playing, walking, talking and being around dogs. I know what to do and what not to do when it comes to dogs. It fits into my routine because everyday I walk my dog missy around our neighborhood. I feed her around a certain time, give the food time to digest then take her for a walk let her get everything out her system and let her enjoy leaving her scent and seeing the other dogs in our neighborhood. I have a fence/gate around my house in case a clients pet isn’t friendly or good around other animals. I have a personal area that their pet can be able to enjoy.
“Rossana took wonderful care of our fur babies! She sent tons of pictures and the dogs absolutely loved her. I would highly recommend her, and we look forward to working with her again.”
“Valentina is the best! From the first day the communication was clear and efficient. Valentina offered to arrange a visit a few days before my departure in order to get familiar with the cat. She asked about all his needs and my requests. During my vacation she provided me with an update and sent videos and pictures, so I could feel comfortable since it was my first time being away from my lovely Perseus. I highly recommend Valentina as a reliable and trustworthy person! Perseus loves her and he’s a very spoiled and picky boy 😉 P.S. She left home in great condition. Everything was clean and well organized. Thank you, Valentina! ❤️”
About: I’ve been an animal person my whole life, from growing up with cats and dogs to hamsters and even iguanas! I also spent a year working at a veterinary emergency clinic, so I’m comfortable staying calm when pets need extra care or attention. I’ve provided senior care for both pets and people, and I especially love giving older animals the patience, TLC, and slower pace they deserve. Whether your pet needs belly rubs, playtime, medication reminders, a leisurely stroll, or simply a cozy companion, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and thoroughly spoiled. As a fully remote virtual therapist, my schedule offers plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship while working from home. I have a cozy apartment that’s best suited for small dogs and cats, where pets can relax in a calm, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to house sit or care for pets in their own home, which can be especially helpful for animals who feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings. I live near the beach and love taking dogs for walks, fresh-air adventures, and trips to the dog park. Most importantly, I prioritize safety, routines, and making sure every pet feels secure, loved, and right at home.
“This is so long overdue but I couldn't go without leaving a review. Audrey was a fantastic Dog Sitter and I couldn't be more grateful for how she took care of Max. Quick to respond, clear communication, pictures, video and updates. I never once had to question how Max was doing while I was away. She also came to stay at the house. She left my house in the state she found it, stripped her bed before leaving and even asked if I had any other requests before she left. I will definitely be using Audrey again and truly appreciate her, and Rover, for making my time away as comfortable as possible for Max.”
“Wow! We were completely impressed with the level of care and attention our puppy received this weekend from Erika. Erika had our five month old puppy out and about daily. They took walks, went to the beach, visited the dog park, and ran around the neighborhood. I absolutely love how Erika focused on socializing our puppy and giving her new experiences. Every day Erika sent a number of pictures that let us know she was in great hands. It was clear our puppy didn’t want Erika to leave when we got home. We will absolutely book Erika in the future. Thank you!!”
“After some nightmare experiences with other sitters, Juliana was a god send. She was patient with my hyper puppy, but more than that she was reliable. Super communicative. Sent lots of updates and videos. And my pup loved her! Thank you so much Juliana!”
About: Since the age of 10, I have been lovingly caring for all dogs and other pets (cats, hamsters, birds and fish). Neighbors, friends and family members trust me and are happy that I walk, feed and bathe their pets I am a housewife, sometimes I work remotely or at home as a florist. My children are very fond of animals and help me. We do not have animal allergies. We are in a quiet area. I will walk with them on a leash or a stroller. I will check the availability of water and food.
“Andrea makes my cat so happy. She is very thoughtful and considerate in her care. And spends good, quality time with her. My cat especially enjoys the playtime and cuddles! She also introduced my kitty to cat TV which she loves! :)”
“Camila was great. I just got back from my weekend trip for Memorial weekend. Smudge looks happy! I am glad to be home with my baby again. Everything looks good so I am very grateful I found Camila and hope she will babysit Smudge again!”
About: I have a genuine, deep love for all pets in this world… mine have been the most important part of my life. When my baby kitty Lenny crossed the heavenly rainbow bridge last year, Gideon and Einstein rescued me. My focus is specific and consistent: “What does your best friend need? How can I provide this need to them? Is the environment low stress? Your fur babies are so important to me because I truly understand how important they are to YOU. Having no human children myself, believe me, fur babies are EVERYTHING! I put my absolute best effort into making sure your pet feels safe and experiences the least amount of anxiety as possible. I also assist with Senior day care cleaning, shopping etc. References upon request if needed. I am available to work five days a week and weekends if necessary. I’m grateful to have a flexible schedule; I’ve earned the trust to have access into peoples’ homes to care for their animals. I treat every single animal and pet as if they were my own. I make sure to have every day fulfilled with at least a little bit of furry affection or my day just isn’t the same! I have a pet-friendly, pet-safe, pet-happy home! Making sure all the fur babies in my home have what they need is “what I DO!” My sweet cat Gideon couldn’t get more nurturing! He’s very healthy, independent and gentle with his guests”! My philosophy with my home and my animals is: When in MY care, your baby’s safety, good health, and comfort is guaranteed in the anxiety-free environment I provide. I’m extremely attentive to their individual needs, hands-on, and I work hard at that. Their are no short-cuts, no days off with my animals.

“I had a fantastic experience with Macenna. She took such warm, attentive care of my dog—it was clear from the start that my pup felt comfortable and happy. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, my home was left spotless and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Viktoryia stayed at our apartment with our two dogs and two cats while we were out of the country. She was very caring not only to our pets, but to our home, as well. She sent us photos and videos of our pets every day and she also kept our apartment perfectly clean for us. We highly recommend her!”

Kniaka took wonderful care of Gigi! She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely trust Kniaka with Gigi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much! ❤️
Herbert was extremely communicative and proactive when it came to caring for my 3 cats! He sent daily updates and was sure to ask questions when any concerns came up. He followed all directions and went above and beyond to make sure my pets felt cared for. Very grateful for his service and I will be booking him again in the near future!!

Izabella was AMAZING! WE BOOKED HER LAST MINUTE TO STAY WITH OUR TWO SMALL DOGS TO KEEP THEM COMPANY ALL DAY WHILE WE WERE OUT EXPLORING AND SHE COULDN’T HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE OF THEM! Two walks, lots of pictures and videos of them playing together kept my mind at ease when they were with someone unfamiliar. They quickly fell in love with her! I’d pay her double for her service if we are ever back in the area. Thank you again so much, Izabella!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bal Harbour
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bal Harbour on Rover is $40.83 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 4,277 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bal Harbour. 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 Bal Harbour 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 Bal Harbour 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 Bal Harbour 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 Bal Harbour. 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.
