About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have two dogs of my own. I also fostered dogs throughout high school, which gave me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable getting to know each dog and following their individual routine, whether that means playtime, walks, feeding, or just some extra attention and company while their owner is away. I’m currently a PA student, so my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have flexibility especially on my off days weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find drop-in times that fit your pet’s normal routine! I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’ll always follow the instructions you provide and make sure they’re comfortable in their own home. During drop-ins, I’ll take care of feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks if needed, and of course plenty of attention. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away

“Elizabeth was the best!! I was so nervous leaving my babies for the first time with a sitter but she really eased my mind. She was very kind and attentive, constantly sent pictures and updated me everytime she came by to feed and walk them. And most importantly my dog and cat loved her and her cuddles. Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience!”

“Rachelle was a fantastic sitter for my cats! She was easy to contact and responded to messages in a timely manner. My kitties took to her immediately, and I was pleasantly surprised to see pictures of my normally shy babies sitting in her lap! She also left the cat bowls and litter boxes very clean, and even took out the trash without being asked. Leaving my cats under Rachelle's care gave me great piece of mind on my week-long trip, and I would highly recommend her. Thank you, Rachelle! :)”

About: I can assure you I will adapt to your pets' needs, even if extravagant to keep them happy, to assure they always feel secure and at home. I have dog shelter experience, dog sitting experience and experience with my own puppies as I have successfully raised and trained three. I am mostly always at home. If your dog is special needs, needs medication, or is a senior, I am always willing to learn how to take care of them. Otherwise, if you have any requests or so, ask away. I will not shy away or slack on the little things, especially if your pet really needs something. I am always right here if you happen to have any questions about my services. I have my own senior pup who I take care of. Daily walks and treats are a necessity! Pet care is incredibly dog-specific and what works for one might not work for the other. I think being flexible and listening to your dogs needs is a constant need. I care for dogs by following instruction not only from owner but pup, being open to their needs and regulating their emotions throughout our visit.

About: I’ve had pets of my own for more than 10 years and have also spent time fostering both dogs and cats, including animals with special needs. That experience has taught me that every pet needs something a little different, whether that means extra patience, a specific routine, a slower introduction, or just plenty of attention and reassurance. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with everything from newborn kittens to extra-large dogs, and I’m very comfortable around big breeds since we have large dogs of our own at home. Fostering has also given me experience working with animals who may be nervous, shy, adjusting to a new environment, or in need of a little extra care. I’m patient and attentive, and I always try to meet animals where they are rather than expecting them to immediately warm up to me. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, cautious and reserved, or convinced they should be the center of attention at all times, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m available for weekday and weekend walks, drop-ins, and varying times throughout the day, including early mornings, late evenings, and everything in between. I know pet routines don’t always fit into a 9-to-5 schedule, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need regular care, occasional help, or a little extra flexibility, I’ll do my best to make scheduling easy and reliable. Safety, trust, and communication are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any special instructions you provide. I also know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I make a point to keep owners in the loop. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. In your home, I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, and I always respect both your space and your pet’s boundaries. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate right away if I notice something. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re apart.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. I currently have a 10-year-old cat named Kitty, who has taught me plenty about the love, patience, and attention that pets need as they grow. I’ve been house sitting for over 15 years and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, from playful puppies and kittens to beloved seniors. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m comfortable providing the extra care and attention that comes with every stage of life. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to be available throughout the day and accommodate different schedules and routines. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. 🐾 I work a remote position, which allows me to be flexible and accommodating; be it drop ins, walks or just to say hello and give cuddles. My kitty named Kitty loves being an only child right now (it’s helping a LITTLE with having puppy fever). It’s preferred that the care for your furbaby takes place in your home.

About: I’ve always had dogs as pets since I was a baby. I’ve been responsible for taking care of my dogs since I was about 12 years old. I don’t even know how it feels to NOT have a dog. Family members and friends rely on me to pet sit and it’s the greatest joy. I am able to open up my schedule as I please. As of right now I am available for weekend boarding. Please feel free to contact me for more availability. I provide a safe space to sleep and play. My apartment grounds are pet friendly. I am available for your pet for 24 hours while on duty.

About: I’m great with dogs! I’ve trained many dogs before and also volunteered at Big Dog Ranch Rescue. I’ll provide great care to your furry friend! I currently work full-time from Monday to Friday, from 7 am to 3 pm. Any time after that is fine, and I’m free on weekends. I can provide care in the mornings and evenings on weekends, and only at night during the week. I have a dog and cat of my own and they get along really well. Whether in your home or mine, I keep your pet safe, happy, and on their regular routine. I strictly follow your feeding, medication, and walking schedules while keeping your environment secure and clean. You will receive regular photo updates, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in gentle, prepared hands.

About: I've been caring for animals informally for years. I had my own fur baby, Charlie, who was so much more than a pet—he was my best friend for 13 years. He taught me that when it comes to caring for animals, the most important qualities are patience, consistency, empathy, and understanding that no two pets are the same. Since Charlie's passing, I've loved helping friends and family care for their furry companions, whether dogs or cats. One of my favorite parts is getting to know each pet's unique personality and what makes them tick. Whether it's long walks, chasing toys, cuddles on the couch, or simply enjoying each other's company, I love meeting pets where they are and giving them the care and attention they need. Spending time with furry friends has truly become one of my favorite ways to spend the day. I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, keeping them active, entertained, and sticking to their routines. I also have experience giving oral medications when they can be hidden in food or treats. A little about me—I'm a licensed mental health counselor, so patience, compassion, and empathy come naturally to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I gave my Charlie boy. Whether you're away on vacation or simply at work for the day, I'll make sure to keep you posted with plenty of pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My schedule varies from week to week, but I’m generally available Thursday through Saturday for walks and drop-in visits! I make sure to keep my Rover calendar up to date so you can easily see when I’m available. Since my days off are dedicated to pet care, I can often accommodate different times throughout the day. Whether your furry friend needs a morning walk, a potty break, some playtime, or just a little extra company while you’re away, I’d love to spend some time with them! At this time, I'm offering dog walks and drop-in visits in your home. While I'm not currently able to provide boarding, I'm more than happy to come to your pet's familiar environment, where they can feel safe, comfortable, and stick to their normal routine. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the backyard, a potty break, fresh food and water, or simply a lil extra love and time hanging out while you're away, I'll make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I'll always leave things just as I found them.

Elizabeth is the best sitter! She watched my two cats while I was out of town for a week and I am so grateful I found her! I’ve always been nervous leaving my girls with new people but I can tell she made them feel so comfortable and loved. She provided me with thorough updates throughout my trip so I was never worried about them and was incredibly attentive to detail about their care. Thank you Elizabeth :)

I hired Janelle to come by my house while on vacation to check on my 4 cats. She was so nice at the meet and greet and really paid attention to the needs of my kitties. She came to my house and played with them, fed them, cleaned their litter, and refilled their water. She was on time, and did a great job. This was on a holiday as well, so it is nice having someone who can work holidays. It’s so nice having someone who I can trust while I’m away, and I will be hiring her again!!

Rachelle is super sweet and did a great job taking care of my senior pup, Beau. Beau is nearly 17 and has some medical issues, his vision is failing, and he is a no to being alone. It was such a comfort to have Rachelle take care of Beau while I was out for a long meeting. She was flexible with me on the timing of her drop-in visit, which really helped me. I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with my pup. I also like that she asked questions to get to know Beau, to understand his medical issues, and to know what to do if something happens. Even though she has a lot of experience with her own dogs, she wanted to be sure that she understood Beau's needs even for a short drop-in visit, which is great! I will definitely reach out to Rachelle in the future when I need help with Beau.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Davie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Davie on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. 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 7,403 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Davie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
