“Best sitter possible. Our lucy was very well taken care of. Kara listened to all of our rules & exceeded our expectations of communication & friendliness. Extremely easy to work with & flexible. 10/10 will be re-scheduling.”
“I was sick to my stomach thinking about leaving my baby, but Debra was so amazing with our Gunner! I got texts & pictures every day and we came to a happy boy! She even gave us tidbits for training! We’re definitely keeping her in our roster for dog sitting! I can’t give enough praises!!!! Debra you are awesome!”
“I can’t thank Jacqueline enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment she took care of her, I could tell how loving, caring, and attentive she was. She treated my dog like her own and made sure she felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Jacqueline was wonderful with her, and I truly appreciate all the love, patience, and attention she gave her. I would absolutely recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets. ❤️🐾”
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was 10 years old, I have trained my dogs before with good mannerisms. I am open to learn some new skills with high maintenance dogs or cats and even senior pets as well! I love walking with my dogs and playing with them! Still living at home, I work in the mornings and get home around 10-12 and I take care of my dogs then. I just take them outside, let them run around, bring them inside, give them some treats and let them do their own thing. They are always with me in my room since it’s just me in the house, or whenever I go out I sometimes take them with me! But typically, I just stay inside and do some cleaning, cooking and school work as well. I make sure to take them outside as soon as I get home, and let them back in after 5-10 minutes since it’s hot outside. I just spend quality time with them, play with them and take them for walks in the evening
About: I’ve been a pet owner and pet sitter for about 20 years, and taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life. My family and friends have always called me for their pet-sitting needs and questions, so I’ve pretty much been the go-to pet person forever! 😂🐶 I absolutely love animals, and animals seem to love me right back! 🥰 I have a dog of my own, and I’m currently home most of the time since I’m not working right now. I already help take care of a couple of pets here in our community, and I’d love to help more of my neighbors! I can come to your home to walk your dog, let them out, feed them, give them attention, or take care/stay with them while you’re working, traveling, or just away for the day. If you need someone you can trust to love on your pets while you’re away, I’m your girl🤗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I have a dog of my own and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I currently have an open/flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs throughout the day. My availability allows me to be dependable and attentive, while providing pets with the consistent care, companionship, and attention they need. If your pets are staying with me, they’ll have access to the dog park located right outside my apartment, where we can get plenty of exercise and playtime! I also have lots of dog-friendly toys and treats to keep them happy and entertained. 🐾 My dog, Honey, is very active and loving while also being calm and laid-back. She gets along wonderfully with other animals, so your pets will have a friendly companion during their stay. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. I’ll follow their normal routines as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and love while you’re away.

I’m used to adjusting to make the animals in my care happy and comfortable I care for every pet as I would my own! I think they deserve to be babied and pampered!! My love for animals is so strong everyone who knows me can validate that! Please note: our yard is mostly pool!! So if you have a pup that likes the water they will have a blast! Otherwise we have 2 - 10x 60 dog runs that are accessible for potty breaks.
“Penelope was TOTALLY AWESOME! We will MOST DEFINITELY be requesting/using her to watch our fur babies in the future! They took to Penelope right away and she shared lots of info and photos of them hanging out and playing. We appreciate the way she cared for our babies. They live her:)”
“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. 🙂”
“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”
“Bailey was amazing with our dog, Murphy! He stayed with him for 4 nights and sent daily pictures and updates. We arrived home and the house was cleaner than we left it! Highly recommend!”
“Dana is super sweet and treated our miniature schnauzer with much love. She provided regular updates with pictures and made us feel at ease living our older dog at home for a week. She was very accommodating to help keep our dog on her normal schedule. I would definitely recommend Dana to care for your pet!”
About: I love animals. I understand how much work they can be but also know how much love they provide. Whether you work long hours or travel for work, let me help. I love being outside, the park and the beach. I can throw a ball or snuggle with the best. I have no problem giving baths and grooming needs. I am responsible, reliable, punctual, loving, and caring. I can walk to your house downtown.I have no problem coming to your home and caring for your pets. I have a pooch of my own. It is easier for me to come to you. I would love to be a part of your doggy routine whether it is daily, weekly, monthly, or as you need it. I am here for your convenience! Currently only working part time. My schedule is flexible to meet your needs. I can do multiple drop ins in a day or stay at your house to help in whatever way your fur baby needs! My biggest concern is the welfare of your animals. I don’t want to be without food or clean water and your fur babies shouldn’t have to either.
About: Ive been around all kinds of animals since before I could walk. Ive owned and trained my dogs all my life and have always been the go to for friends and family to take care of their animals if they were traveling. Im available every day after 3pm and on the weekends Im free when needed I just need a few days notice so I dont have scheduling conflicts. I have a large back yard and one pup of my own hes vocal but friendly as can be. My yard is not fenced but we go on regular walks and jogs. My floors are epoxy so theres no need for worry of stains or messes if youd like your pup to be separate we can arrange something.
“Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a kid, but dogs were always my forte. I’ve also been volunteering at my local SPCA shelter for added experience and love working with all the dogs. I also have experience working at a kennel and caring for the dogs. I am currently working overnight shifts so I will have ample time to spend time with your dogs during the day! 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 taken care of animals since I was a teenager. whether it was my family’s animals or a friends I was always the first one to offer to watch them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Boca Grande
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 819 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
