About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young and always loved giving them attention and care. I have two cats and a dog of my own right now. I love taking my dog on walks and seeing how much she enjoys it! I’m currently completing my Level II fieldwork for school. I’m at my fieldwork placement Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until around 6 PM, so I’m generally available in the evenings on those days. Tuesdays and Thursdays are much more open, giving me more flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. My schedule can occasionally vary, so I’m always happy to communicate and work around your pet’s needs! I’ll make sure to read all instructions carefully and follow everything properly. I respect my clients’ homes and will only be in areas where I’m allowed to be while caring for your pet.

“First time ever leaving my babies with anyone but family. Dave did a job beyond our expectations. He sent photos and video every day while we were on a 7 day cruise. Our house was left like no one was here. I suggest always interview your sitter as we interviewed 3. Dave will be our permanent rover sitter. Rover should have other sitter’s just like him as a company standard. Five plus STARS!!”

About: If you’re looking for a trusted pet sitter, you’re in the right place. I’ll make sure your furry family member is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can help with drop in visits, house sitting, boarding whatever works best for you. I’ve been around animals my whole life , from energetic puppies to moody cats and even the occasional rescue with quirks (I get it, we all have them). I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet behind, so I show up the way I’d want someone to for mine: reliable, calm, and with lots of love to give. Whether your dog needs long walks, your cat needs space (but still wants to be admired), or your pet just needs someone to hang out and keep their routine steady, I’m here for it. Let me know what your little buddy needs, and I’ll take care of the rest , updates, belly rubs, and all. 🐾 I work a 4-day week, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care, especially on my days off. I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on the day, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention they need. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs whether that’s sticking to a familiar routine, giving them space, or just offering lots of love and attention. I’m always happy to follow detailed instructions, give updates, and communicate so you feel fully at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s well being means everything to me, and I’m committed to earning your trust every step of the way.

About: I have worked in grooming salons as a bather for over 5 years on and off as well as a handler at a doggy daycare in Boynton Beach. I have dog sat many times for personal friends, and I personally own an 80lbs+ sweet dog myself. Very comfortable walking and playing with big dogs of varying temperaments. I am happy to provide references for my interactions with doggy day care handling, dog sitting references, and general work references. I am currently in between contract work and have open availability to play with your pup as much as desired! Usually my mornings and afternoons will be the most convenient times I am a very cautious and alert dog walker. My own dog gets excited easily and will lurch for food (or non food) on the ground and I am very skilled at keeping him safe while still having fun on his walk. I am a very loving pet sitter and will give your dog plenty of love at home during visits or playtimes.

I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs and make sure they feel comfortable and secure while they’re in my care. I also keep pet areas clean and provide regular updates and photos to their owners so they know how their pet is doing.

“Ida house/dog sat for us while we were away on vacation for a week. During our trip Ida sent updates on Lily and even alerted us that she had been itching (she has allergies). We had allergy medicine for her at the house and since Ida was staying there she was able to start Lily on the meds right away. This was a huge plus! When we got home the plants had been watered, the house was clean and the mail was in a neat pile on the counter. But most importantly Lily was happy and acting like herself. She seemed to love being in her own home while we were away. Ida did a GREAT job and we will definitely use her again!”

About: I have worked at three professional dog boarding, daycare and grooming facilities as a receptionist and kennel technician. I have several years of experience providing dog walking and overnight pet-sitting services. Caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely value, and I take the responsibility of caring for each dog entrusted to me very seriously. I understand that your dog is a beloved member of your family, and my priority is always to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved while in my care. I currently work as a customer service representative at a pet resort 5 afternoons a week. I would be able to work most mornings and weekends full time. I’m also a proud owner of two small dogs, who are truly part of my family and always my priority. I bring that same level of love, attention, and care to every dog entrusted to me. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and individual needs will always be my main focus. I go beyond the basics by providing personalized attention and enriching activities designed to keep each dog happy, engaged, and comfortable throughout their stay.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a baby. From docile dogs to more energetic breeds, I’ve had them all. I am a lover of all breeds! I’ve learned their moods and all of the signs so I know what to look for in the pups. I also enjoy keeping them busy if that’s what they need, or if they’re a more relaxed breed, I’m very good at taking a chill pill and just spending time with them! I am currently working part time and am looking for something fun to do. I love animals, especially dogs so this is something that fits in with my daily schedule. I live in a safe apartment complex that comes with a fenced-in dog park. I am willing to crate pups if it’s needed!

About: Dogs you don't have to struggle for their affection if they are that type of dog. However, with cats they come to you when they are ready. They will sense if you appreciate them and then they can show you their personality and affection. Dogs personality usually is shown right away and try to see how fast they can get away with things they know they should not. I currently work remotely so I can play with them at any time. I pay attention to them and rub their belly while I am on the computer. When they need feeding I provide it: at the time of the client's request, I clean up and straight up. If I care in my home I ensure that I follow all the rules the client has provided. If it's in my home I ensure I keep an eye on what they are doing, and keep any glasses or breakable items away.

Maria was absolutely wonderful! She house sat for us and took care of our cat, Star, for ten days while we were traveling, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring, and she kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages. It was such a comfort seeing how relaxed, happy, and comfortable Star was with her. Maria took excellent care of both Star and our home, and everything was perfect when we returned. Knowing Star was in such loving and capable hands allowed us to truly enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely trust Maria to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Maria!

I truly cannot recommend Eduardo enough! If I could give him more than five stars, I absolutely would. I’ve actually been a dog sitter myself for many dogs over the years, so I know what I look for in someone caring for mine. This was my first time leaving my 14-year-old and 4-year-old dogs with someone who wasn’t a friend or family member, and I was also traveling internationally, so I was definitely a little nervous going into it. The second I met Eduardo, though, I immediately felt at ease. My dogs took to him right away, and from the very beginning it was obvious how attentive and detail-oriented he is. He asked thoughtful, specific questions about each dog—their routines, personalities, quirks, preferences, and what makes them comfortable. He genuinely cared about keeping their normal schedule and making their time with him feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Our dogs are relatively easy, but one does have some anxiety, especially during storms, and Eduardo handled him wonderfully. What impressed me most was how well he seemed to understand both of their individual personalities in such a short amount of time. He didn’t just make sure they were fed, walked, and taken care of—he genuinely spent time with them, engaged with them, and made them feel comfortable and loved. And the updates were AMAZING. They were detailed, thoughtful, funny, and came with the best pictures. With every update, I felt like I was getting a little glimpse into their day rather than just receiving the standard “dogs are good!” message. You could genuinely see how happy and relaxed they were in every photo. He picked up on all of their little nuances and personality traits, and somehow managed to capture them perfectly. Even while I was thousands of miles away, I still felt completely connected to what they were doing and how they were feeling. Funny enough, my husband and I were on two separate trips that weekend, and both of our groups had friends who also had dogs at home with pet sitters. We were each sharing Eduardo’s updates with our respective groups, and EVERYONE was blown away by him—especially compared with the updates they were receiving from their own sitters! By the end of the weekend, Eduardo had basically developed a fan club of people who had never even met him. 😂 He was also incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to everything exactly as we had left it and, most importantly, to two very happy, relaxed dogs who clearly had an amazing weekend themselves. There is such a huge difference between finding someone who will simply take care of your pets and finding someone who makes you feel completely comfortable being away from them. Eduardo is absolutely the latter. The peace of mind he gave us was invaluable, and I never once worried about whether our dogs were safe, happy, or getting enough attention. I would recommend Eduardo 100 times over. He is attentive, trustworthy, communicative, responsible, kind, and clearly genuinely loves the animals he cares for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him and will absolutely be booking him again. Anyone who gets Eduardo as their sitter—and any pet who gets to spend time with him—is incredibly lucky!

I can't recommend Emily highly enough. She stayed at my house and watched my maltipoo for over two weeks, and she did an absolutely amazing job. I'd never met her before, so naturally I had some nerves about handing over my home and my dog to someone new, but those disappeared fast. She earned my complete trust. She took wonderful care of the house and even better care of Baxter, who was clearly happy and well looked after the whole time. On top of that, she kept me updated regularly, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Emily was an incredible find, and I'd welcome her back in a heartbeat. If you're looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring, she's the one.

Erika was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. She stayed with them at my apartment for several days. My Lhasa Apso is a subborn pain in the butt that isn’t comfortable with being left with strangers. But Erica won him over!! My other baby is a pug mix with diabetes. She lost her site due to the diabetes as well. She gets insulin injections twice per day along with a couple diff eye drops. It’s crucial that she gets her medication’s at exactly 12 hours apart every single day. She can’t be late and she can’t miss a dosage. She made sure to stay on top of it every single day. She sent me pictures and videos several times a day. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my babies than Erika. I have been in Florida for 5 1/2 years and I finally found someone to take care of them when I want to leave to see my kids out of state and not feel stressed or worried about their care 💕🙌 I highly recommend

FAQs for House Sitting - Boynton Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Boynton Beach on Rover is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $111 per night. 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 2,932 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boynton Beach. 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 Boynton Beach 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 Boynton Beach 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 Boynton Beach 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.
