“I can’t say enough good things! He was super communicative from start to finish and followed all of Jayda’s medication directions perfectly. Since she’s a senior dog who needs a lot of extra help, I really appreciated the way he went above and beyond to keep her comfortable and help her get around. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Definitely booking with him again — highly recommend!”

“Aleja was absolutely amazing - from the very first contact all the way until we got home. She is super responsible, she was amazing with our dog (who is a nervous, older rescue dog) and sent up amazing pics and videos throughout her stay. She also left the apartment in immaculate condition. She truly loves animals and it shows. We would work with her again in two seconds. Highly recommend without hesitation!”

About: I am a technical writer, and work from home. I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a dog and have cared for many different pets over the years, including dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and quail. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I treat each one with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d want for my own. My goal is to help your pet-child feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time, and can definitely see if our schedules can work together or closely match. Always willing to meet in the middle for our furry family. I have a fenced in yard, surrounded by oak trees, avocado trees, and lush greenery. My dog loves it, and is always exploring outside safely.

“Jacqueline was so sweet and communicative when she watched our dogs this last week! She sent lots of photos and updates, and she was very flexible when we had flight changes. Our dogs love her and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and I’m happy to follow their normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time and attention. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I can also accommodate different routines and schedules whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live with my wife, who also loves animals, so your pet will be in a warm and caring home. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and routine instructions provided by you. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while they’re with me.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 5 years old, so caring for them is second nature to me. I started pet sitting for neighbors as a kid, and these days I regularly watch my aunt's dogs whenever she's out of town. I know how to read a dog's body language, stick to a routine, and keep them comfortable, safe, and happy when their people are away. Dogs are already a built-in part of my routine. I'm used to walking, feeding, and spending time with dogs every day. My schedule is highly flexible, so I can fit in morning, midday, or evening walks, last-minute requests, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays. When a dog is in my care, they're my priority, so I plan my day around their walks, meals, and playtime rather than squeezing them in. Every dog is different, so I start by learning their routine: when they eat, how much they walk, what they love, and what makes them nervous. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, and I keep the schedule as close to what they're used to as I can so they feel secure. For walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash, watch for hazards, and make sure they get fresh water and breaks. For sitting, whether at my home or yours, I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, plenty of playtime, and never get left alone for long stretches. I send photo and video updates so owners always know how their dog is doing, and I'm always ready to contact the owner or a vet if anything seems off.

“Emily was amazing! She communicated really well throughout the entire stay and treated my pups with so much love and care. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We’re already using her again, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


“Andres is an absolute gem; he was wonderful with our four-month old puppy, and in communicating with us over the week he cared for him. You won’t find a more warm, responsible and communicative sitter!”

About: I’ve experince of taking care of the families friends i have been working for i work like i nanny and always stay with the pets at the ownes house because is less stressful for the pets if they stay in their environment while im taking care of them Since I've been living alone, I have a lot of availability to stay with pets, preferably in their homes. either during the week or on weekends. I only offer to care for pets in their own homes because it is less stressful for them to be in their own environment while their owners are away.
“Amanda is great she treated my dog like one of hers, she is caring, attentive and very responsible, she took care of my fur baby very well, she kept me informed of the walks, meal and naps of my dog, I will definitely try her again.”

About: Hi, My name is Julia and up until a couple years ago I used to have a large black pit/lab mix named Cash (after Johnny Cash ☺️). I had him for almost 8 years since he was a puppy and trained him myself (I even got him therapy dog certified so I could take him to work with me at the hospital sometimes). I have experience taking care of him as well as friends/family dogs of all breeds and sizes from puppies to senior dogs. Unfortunately, he battled cancer for almost two years and he lost that battle a few years ago 😔. I wasn’t ready for another dog for a few years so I just fostered dogs and volunteered at shelters. However, a couple years ago I found my current pup Zev on the streets in a small village in Portugal and knew he was meant to be my dog. He’s a sweet scruffy mixed breed dog that loves people, dogs, affection, swimming, adventuring, and playing fetch. Nothing makes me happier than being around & taking care of dogs! Keeping dogs safe and happy is a priority to me! I really love all animals of all breeds, but especially love dogs! ❤️ In my free time and as I travel, I volunteer with local dog shelters & foster as I’m able to. I work fully remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am happy to come to you and explore new neighborhoods/parks with your dog. Please let me know if I can help you with any of your dog walking or house sitting needs! If you have any special requests, I would be happy to accommodate so please just let me know what you need! I would love to have the opportunity to care for your dog while you are away! I hope to hear from you soon 😊 I currently work remotely from home so I will have plenty of time to look after and play with your dog/cat! I’m available for drop-ins during the week and weekends and can accommodate pet boarding & house sitting on an as needed basis - reach out to me and let me know your needs and I will try to accommodate as best I can. I have a secure outdoor area as well as lots of places within walking distance. Happy to accommodate any special instructions whether in my home or your home - just let me know what is needed.
“I needed a last minute sitter because I was leaving town for a couple days and Amor was able to help me take care of my Uzi boy! I was nervous because I wasn’t sure how my dog would do given he didn’t know her but she was great and Uzi loved her ! She sent me constant photos and updates on my boy and was very thorough throughout the whole process all the way down to how he ate and what he liked to do. She made sure he was always comfortable and super kind and compassionate towards him.Very thankful for her and will definitely continue working with her in the future when I need a sitter !”
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have been around them for most of my life. I’ve had cats since I was 5 and dogs since I was 10, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my everyday life. During college, I was far from home and really missed spending time with my own pets, so I started pet sitting regularly. It became a great way for me to still have animals in my life while helping other people care for theirs. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I work remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to care for your pets, take them on walks, play with them, or simply keep them company. I’m generally available during the day as well as evenings and nights. I just need a little notice so I can organize my schedule around your pet’s routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I’ll make sure they have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention and company. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
About: For each service I can offer loads of love and attention to your pet. I’ve had pets my entire life so I absolutely adore animals and being able to take care of them. I own a cat myself and wish I could have more. I love making animal friends and showing them they are loved and that they matter. I will always treat them as if they were my own. I will pick up after them, play with them, talk to them, give them treats (if that is allowed) and snuggle with them in cases of house sitting. As a little girl, I wanted to be a veterinarian because I posed such a love for animals at such a young age. Instead, I just became a human that is always looking for new animal friends.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bal Harbour is CA$50

We’ve used Andrea a few times now to care for our two sweet cats, and she is absolutely wonderful! This time she stayed at our home while we were away for our wedding, and I never once had to worry about a thing. She was attentive, communicative, detail-oriented, respectful of our home, and gave our cats so much love and care. Knowing our babies were in such good hands was the biggest gift during such an important time for us. We highly recommend Andrea! ❤️

Naomi and her husband did an absolutely, positively AMAZING job taking care of my animals! I honestly couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. I’ll be completely honest — I was very nervous about having someone I found through an app come into my home and take care of my animals. It’s a big thing for me to trust someone with my pets and my personal space, so I had a lot of hesitation at first. But Naomi gave me such a sense of reassurance and comfort from the very beginning. She was so kind, understanding, communicative, and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. They went above and beyond to make sure my animals were happy, comfortable, loved, and having fun. Knowing that they were being treated with so much care while I was away gave me such peace of mind. You can genuinely tell that Naomi and her husband have a true love for animals and treat them like their own. They were respectful of my home, attentive to my animals, and made the entire experience so much easier than I ever expected. I’m honestly so grateful I decided to trust them. They completely changed my perspective on using Rover, and I would absolutely have them take care of my animals again without hesitation. If you’re someone who is nervous about letting a stranger from an app into your home or trusting someone with your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Naomi and her husband. They were wonderful from beginning to end, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my babies! ❤️🐾

Macenna did a wonderful job caring for Norman and our home. Norman has epilepsy and requires a very specific routine, including medication every eight hours, so his care involves a lot of detailed instructions and consistency. Macenna took this responsibility seriously and followed his schedule and care instructions extremely well. She is smart, responsible, trustworthy, and has a great attitude. If she ever had a question or wasn’t certain about something, she asked rather than making assumptions, which I really appreciated. She is also very receptive to feedback and communicates well—both qualities that are especially important to me when someone is caring for a pet with complex needs. I also felt completely comfortable trusting Macenna in our home. She handled both Norman’s care and the responsibilities around our house with maturity and good judgment. Having someone who listens carefully, communicates, and genuinely wants to do things correctly gave me tremendous peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely trust her to care for Norman and our home again and 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bal Harbour is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 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 October 2026, there are 4,348 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
