“Very pleased with Amber, she did a great job in keeping us updated with pictures and text messages on their diary routine of feeding and medicines they need to take. My boys loved her so we will definitely book her again for our upcoming trips”
“Our dog and cats normally take a while to warm up to a new person. But with Marissa they seemed to warm up within a few days, that was reassuring while we were away, to know our pets felt safe. Marissa sent us lots of pictures, videos and updates of all the pets. When we got home the house was clean and she left report cards for each pet and a drawing of our dog. Such a sweet thing to come home to! Definitely would recommend Marissa and we’re feeling relieved to have found someone our pets enjoy spending time with while we’re gone.”
“Izabela was wonderful! She was prompt, very communicative and asked really good questions to prep for the stay. She was attentive to Kayla and followed all the specific directions with our senior dog. We’ve already hired her again!”
“Sara was fantastic! She was responsible, responsive and very prompt with her communication. Both dogs were very comfortable with her - even our picky boy Tucker! We would recommend her and plan on hiring her again.”
“Avery did an amazing job taking care of Leo and Luna during her overnight house sitting! 🐾❤️ She was responsible, caring, and made sure they were both safe, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands. I would absolutely trust Avery with Leo and Luna again and highly recommend her!”
“We were very pleased with Rowan caring for Charlie. She stayed in our home and watched our elderly pup while we traveled for a week. She was able to follow his specific needs and everything went smoothly. Our home was immaculate and Charlie was happy when we returned.”
About: I have assisted in training two puppies and have experience specifically in walking large and medium size dogs since I have had two of my own! I also have a secret love for cats after helping to raise one up from being a kitten as well. I am a busy college student with a schedule that allows for flexibility and weekend work, which makes making my own schedule exciting and easy to work around! I can easily crate and take dogs for longer or shorter walks depending on what they need! I am good at following instructions for specific training, diet, or play as well!
“Desiree was absolutely perfect for us! She came ahead to meet our dogs and get an overview of the house and their routines. It was clear to us that she loves dogs and would be a caring sitter. Desiree communicated clearly, confirming timing before the service began. During our trip, Desiree sent regular check ins and pictures. We highly recommend her and will be using her going forward.”
“Isabel was an absolute delight! I was a little nervous booking with someone new, but the moment she came over to meet our dogs, I felt completely at ease. She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent plenty of photos. It was clear they were getting lots of love and attention—when we got home, they were relaxed and happy, so I knew they’d been well cared for. She will be my first call the next time I need someone to watch my boys.”
About: Hi! I’m a college student at FAU, originally from NJ. I have 2 dogs of my own (boxers) and have grown up around animals my whole life such as cats, dogs, and even reptiles! I have a dog who requires seizure medication and a senior dog with hip issues who requires medication and extra assistance from time to time. Therefore, I am experienced with making sure your pet receives any medication or any extra assistance they may need. Being so far away from my pets has been hard. I would love to take care of and meet your pets! I am currently a college student with about 1 class a day Monday-Friday. I have lacrosse on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and every once in awhile Saturdays for 2 hours. I am able to come and take care of/let out your pets anytime besides the few hours I am preoccupied. I have had experience with dogs (specifically big dogs) for the past 10 years and am well knowledged on the proper care needed. I take my dogs (2 boxers) on walks frequently and feed them/give them their medicine. I have a senior dog with hip issues who requires medication and extra assistance jumping on furniture and requires short walks. My other dog experiences seizures and is given medication daily to prevent them as well as medication to stop them when they are occurring. Besides dogs, I have a couple years of experience living with and taking care of cats. I also have grown up with reptiles!!
“Jessica was absolutely fantastic looking after Cookie over the weekend while we were away. She came to our house and took such great care of him, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing Cookie was comfortable and happy in his own home. Jessica was reliable, caring, trustworthy and kept us reassured throughout the weekend. It was clear that Cookie was very comfortable with her and had been extremely well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Jessica look after Cookie again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and genuinely caring to look after their pet. Thank you so much, Jessica! 🐶”
About: I have the biggest heart for animals. I grew up with a golden retriever and 3 cats, but have been surrounded by friends and family’s animals my whole life. Many people in my town back home will have me walk their pups, stop in and let them out, and trust me to stay with their furry friends for days at a time. I have a very open class schedule so I am able to be very flexible and all over the place when it comes to to pet care I am still working on a solution to how I can keep pets in my apartment. But I am happy to stay as long as needed in homes to keep their pup company. I can so quick drop in visits or stay for a lengthy amount of time. I’d love to bring these dogs to the beach or on a walk on some trails!
About: I'm a caring, responsible, and dependable pet sitter. As someone who has had pets my entire life, I understand that every pet has their own needs and personality. I have a genuine love to get to know and care for each animal as they need. I have expertise with pets of all ages and needs and can't wait to grow a bond with yours! I am currently an online student at FAU, since I take online my school work will not interfere with care. I am in the process of getting a part time job but it will only be for a few hours a day. Therefore, no animal will be left alone for more than a few hours. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I follow the pets normal routine as normal as possible, making sure their feeding, walks, etc are as close to normal as possible. I also respect clients home while caring for their pets by keeping their space clean and tidy.
“Chris was great with our pups. He was responsible while staying at our house and gave updates during his stay. We can’t thank him enough for the care he gave our fur babies while we were away!!”
About: I have been around dogs and all animals my whole life. I am very patient, understanding, and loving and it’s my dream to be able to work with animals while supporting myself. Pet care is something I love to do, I can work with puppies or older dogs aswell. As someone who loves a flexible schedule and good work/life balance. Pet care easily falls into my daily routine and helps me have a flexible work schedule. I have owned pets my whole life and care for them with all my heart. My number 1 priority is safety and health, and my 2nd is making sure they are comfortable and loved in the short time I am with them!
About: Hi!! For my whole life I have always had a dog, Shih-tuzs mainly, however I have been around and taken care of various dogs all the way from Dachshunds to Pitbulls and of all ages as well! I love dogs and am very patient with walks, special necessities and more. I would love to meet and take care of all of your little fur babies 🐾❤️ I am currently a college student with classes 2 days a week, I am fairly active so I would love to go on walks and play while at home or at a dog park. I am unable to have pets in my home due to my living situation being on my college campus. However when taking care of pets at a clients home I am very respectful of all rules and boundaries, I am open to all conversation in order for everyone to feel comfortable. I will take amazing care of your pet and all of his/ her needs!
About: I lived my entire life with at least one Maltese in the house, so I know a thing or two about how those fur babies tick. That knowledge has come to span across numerous dog breeds, especially those teeny tinier guys! I’ve walked, bathed, fed, watered, and played with my own little dogs, my friend’s little dogs, and my friend’s friend’s little dogs. Yours will always be in good hands as long as I’m around :) I’m working part time and heading back to school next year, so for the time being, I have a lot of time to hang out with your furry children! My work schedule varies week to week, but I’m typically off no later than 5:00. Message me to see my availability, until further notice! Pets in my home are always within eyeshot. I make it a point to ensure all cords and choking hazards are put away (as I have a small kitten who would get into them otherwise). Any visits to the balcony are entirely supervised, and I even keep a small playpen to take outside should a pet need it. As for home care, my aim for safety doesn’t change even at your place. I will ensure nothing is around for your pet to get into, and follow any additional instructions to a T (such as crating, keeping animals separate, etc.)

Avery did an amazing job taking care of Leo and Luna during her overnight house sitting! 🐾❤️ She was responsible, caring, and made sure they were both safe, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands. I would absolutely trust Avery with Leo and Luna again and highly recommend her!
Samantha is reliable, caring and absolutely amazing. Our two dogs, Mackenzie, a 3 year old Golden Retriever, and Kelce, an 18 week old English Cream, love Sam!! When she comes to the door, our two dogs are so happy and excited to see her. She brings Mackenzie out on adventures, and plays with both of them in our fenced in area. Samantha communicates throughout her stay with the dogs which allows us to enjoy our time away!
We were very pleased with Rowan caring for Charlie. She stayed in our home and watched our elderly pup while we traveled for a week. She was able to follow his specific needs and everything went smoothly. Our home was immaculate and Charlie was happy when we returned.
Nicolette was wonderful! She stayed in great communication throughout her stay, followed all of our instructions, and took such good care of our pets and our home. We came back to happy pets and a clean house, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re incredibly grateful for her help and would absolutely appreciate having her stay with our pets again!
Jessica was absolutely fantastic looking after Cookie over the weekend while we were away. She came to our house and took such great care of him, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing Cookie was comfortable and happy in his own home. Jessica was reliable, caring, trustworthy and kept us reassured throughout the weekend. It was clear that Cookie was very comfortable with her and had been extremely well looked after.

Thank you so much, Jessica! 🐶
We hired Monika to do a house stay while we were out of town. She took good care of Kayla while we were away. She responded promptly to messages, followed directions, checked in when she had questions, and cleaned up the house and did laundry before she left. She also bought extra dog treats and toys for her (AND double checked the ingredients with us first). Overall, would recommend Monika for any long term sits.
I highly recommend London's dog-sitting services. My dog fell in love with London within seconds of meeting her—it truly was love at first sight. From the very beginning, it was obvious how deeply she cares for animals. She has a calm, gentle manner that immediately put our dog at ease, whether she was playing with him, taking him for walks, or simply spending time with him. While we were away, London kept us updated with thoughtful text messages and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. She took the initiative to learn every detail about our dog's routine and care, followed all of our instructions carefully, and went above and beyond by meeting with us before our trip to ensure everything would go smoothly. We returned home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend London to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter.
Catherine was absolutely incredible watching our kittens! From the initial meet to the end of the booking, communication was top-notch with frequent updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She followed every single feeding, litter, and play instruction perfectly, and the kittens bonded with her right away. We came home to very happy pets and a spotless home. We will definitely be booking her again and cannot recommend her enough! She is my forever cat sitter. Mira and raja love her.
Stella recently stayed with Presley for the third time, and once again she did a wonderful job. She is reliable, responsible, and consistently provides excellent care. Communication was great throughout the stay, and I especially appreciated the daily updates and reports that gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I returned home, the house was neat and well cared for, and most importantly, Presley was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It’s such a relief to have a sitter I can trust completely. I highly recommend Stella to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional pet sitter.
Amber was amazing with my pups. She stayed 2 nights with them and made sure to keep me updated throughout my whole trip with lots of cute photos and videos. It gave me great peace of mind having her there knowing she was taking good care of them. I'll definitely be booking her services again in the future!

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 Raton 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 Raton 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 Raton 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.
