“Kara saved the day for us. We had a family member set to watch our pets and they fell ill. Very last minute, she was able to swoop in and take on my crew. She did a wonderful job with them! Everything was as it was when we left, if not better! The dogs were well loved and so were our guinea pigs. I’ve had sitters in the past that leave the dogs in their crates for long hours and she never did that. She even stayed later to be sure they didn’t have to be alone long. We already have her booked to use her again in October, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you Kara!”

“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”

“I highly recommend Jacqueline! From start to finish she did everything she said she would and more. She took excellent care of our sweet fur baby and sent us many pics and updates while we were gone. AND She took excellent care of our home and plants. Its so hard to feel comfortable with someone staying in your home, but with Jacqueline it was really easy! Book Her! You won't regret it.”

I am available everyday and am very flexible and can accommodate most, if not all, requests:) I currently live in a complex that has plenty of outdoor space and fields for your dog to get an abundance of walks, playtime, and exercise

About: I’ve always had an innate love for animals and have lucky to grow up caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. 🐾 I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with puppies, helping them learn good habits, build confidence, and develop basic manners through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also understand that senior dogs often need extra attention, a gentler approach, and care tailored to their comfort and energy levels. Whether your pup needs playtime, help reinforcing training, daily walks, or your senior companion needs a slower-paced routine and extra cuddles, I’m happy to provide attentive, loving care. ❤️ I treat every dog as if they were my own and want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. My goal is to make your time away easier by keeping your dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I’m currently in nursing school two days a week, but I’m available the other five days to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care! My priority is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. 🐾 I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I tailor my care to each dog’s age, personality, and needs. For puppies, I provide patience, supervision, frequent potty breaks, and positive reinforcement to help encourage good habits. For senior dogs, I take a gentler approach, allowing plenty of rest, keeping walks at a comfortable pace, and giving them extra attention and affection. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of love and companionship. I’m happy to reinforce existing training and follow your preferred care routines to help your pet feel at home. I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ Every pet is family to me, and my goal is to make sure your furry friend feels happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way!

About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.

“Elaine was an absolute lifesaver for us! Last minute, she stepped in with kindness and genuine love for both our mini Bernedoodle and kitten, making our first time away from them so much easier. She stayed right in our home, creating a cozy and familiar environment that kept our fur babies calm and happy. Throughout the day, we received adorable photos and thoughtful updates that truly put our minds at ease. If you’re a pet owner on the hunt for an amazing sitter, look no further—Elaine is the one you want! Her care went above and beyond, and it was clear she treated our pets like her own. We’re beyond grateful and can’t wait to have Elaine back again—such a wonderful, heartwarming experience all around!”

About: I will walk the dogs multiple times a day and night, if needed. My puppy can come along with me as a friend to play with for your pet if interested, he loves all pets! I am very attentive and loving and take dogs with me everywhere I go, if they are able and want to. I am overall very flexible, loving, attentive, accommodating, and interact with all pets in my own constantly - whether that be talking to them, playing with them in and outside, brushing, petting them while they rest and giving treats (if allowed). Sebastian is my puppy and he is still learning about the world but very sweet and adjusts to all pets if you want me to bring him for your furbaby to have a friend also! If not thats ok too, I am only caring for pets in their own home though and happy to take them to parks etc to play if prefer! I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and make my own schedule. I walk multiple times a day as well as go to dog parks that are safe where I know the regulars. I am very loving, attentive, flexible and experienced. I was a Nanny for high profile families in Los Angeles & DC. I have been a Certified Nanny & Caregiver for disabled children, teens and adults as well as a Petsitter, Housesitter, and Personal Assistsnt to CEO’s for 20 years before I switched to working from home. I have experience in countless homes and family dynamics with a variety of pets, children, rules and preferences for pets and home care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Boca Grande

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 808 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boca Grande. 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 Boca Grande 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 Boca Grande 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 Boca Grande 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
