About: I’ve always had a love for animals and knew from a young age that I wanted to work with them. I even dreamed of becoming a veterinarian when I was younger! Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets through pet sitting and dog walking for family members and others. I have a 6-year-old Goldendoodle named Gryff that stays with family, and I currently live with two adorable and friendly cats, Rosemary and Basil. Being around animals has taught me how important patience, responsibility, and attentiveness are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and administering oral medication. I’m an active, responsible, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! 🐾💕 Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy making time to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, as well as boarding in my home. I work weekday mornings, so I’m generally available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and routines. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of every pet’s boundaries. Since I have two cats of my own, I’m also mindful of safe introductions and keeping pets separated when necessary. 🐾

About: Hello! My name is Sofia and I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter living in a house with no pets and a big fenced backyard, which allows pets space to play, relax, and feel at home!! 🏡🐾 My entire life I have loved all kinds of animals and I believe dogs are angels on Earth 😇 My current schedule allows me to have more time to care for all your sweet pets and flexibility to match your needs . I have completed CPR dog/cat training credited by American Red Cross to relieve any worries about your pets safety. I have a lot of experience with different breeds , have cared for my own pets and I am the designated family pet sitter/dog whisperer 🤭 . I have raised 2 Jack Russell terriers from their puppy days to their final senior moments. I’m very familiar with dogs that need stimulation & consistent attention. I have also owned a reactive Pitbull, which taught me how to stay calm, observant, and proactive in managing behavior & high stress situations. It also taught me how to handle larger sized dogs that are very strong 🦮 he was a good 120 pounds 😆💪 I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs — whether that’s exercise, quiet companionship, or extra patience. Most of all, I genuinely love animals and caring for them brightens every one of my days ❤️ i understand that pets are FAMILY. I will cuddle with them all night if i can 😂🫶 You’ll receive consistent updates (photos AND videos) so you can feel confident & at ease while you’re away ✈️🐕📸 Right now I am operating on a part time schedule for Rover and try to update my calendar as much as i can. I’m available for walks or drop-ins, and certain days I am available for daycare/boarding too. I live in a house with a very big spacious backyard that is perfect for pets to play, relax, and explore! Pets will always be supervised and clients will always receive updates, photos, and videos. Your pet will be entertained and in a house full of love!! ❤️

About: I have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, but sadly live away from my dog (adulting is hard) so I’ve turned to helping others care for and love their fur babies in the meantime! In college my roommates and I used to foster dogs, helped instructors with their training, gave them a loving home and lots of games of fetch and belly rubs, and volunteered at my local shelters. Additionally, I have experience dog sitting for friends and family! I hope I get to help you care for your pets too! I’m currently working from home every day except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays , and my work day schedule has flexibility to easily incorporate pet care. Additionally, I am very active and enjoy going on walks during my work breaks, as well as outside of work. I live in an apartment but it’s location is right across from several recreational areas like parks! Your pet will not be left unattended for periods of time and he will be treated in our home as if this is also his home, because it will temporarily be, and their comfort and safety is our top priority. We are extremely against any type of physical reprimand and will always treat your pet with love, kindness, and respect.

About: I am currently in school for vet med and I work at K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel, I just can’t get enough animals in my life! I have had all sorts of pets growing up and my passion for their care runs deep!! I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting since early middle school!! I am still a student and I am in class Tues-Fri, 9-1. My work schedule can fluctuate but I only work 3 days a week, usually Sat, Sun, and Wed. Mondays I am fully free! I live in an apartment and have 2 friendly cats, but if that is an issue for your pet, they can easily be securely separated. If you are uncertain about spacing or anything else, I am more than happy to come to you! If your pet needs exercise, I’m the right person to call!!

About: I have over 4 years of experience pet sitting and caring for animals of all ages. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and animals who need extra patience and attention. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and caring for pets who are sick or recovering. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. My goal is to give every pet the same attention and care I would give my own. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I can work around my class schedule and make time for regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs and provide consistent, attentive care. I offer boarding, house sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I currently live in an apartment, so for boarding I can provide a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment for pets who are comfortable in an apartment setting. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and rest. For house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and maintain their familiar routines and surroundings. During walks and drop-in visits, I provide exercise, bathroom breaks, meals, fresh water, playtime, and companionship while giving each pet the individual attention they need.

I am currently in college at FAU right now but can still fit pet care in my weekly routine just fine. I take most of my classes in the morning and am available anytime after that. I will make sure your pets get the most attention and love they can receive. I will treat them as if they are my own pets.

First time user of Rover and I went thru 3 people before I found a standout gem. A true professional. Little older than other pet sitters and more responsible. Christina makes your worries about leaving your pets - go away. For example, I needed someone who could give one of my pets medication. Slightly complicated but Christina came over of her own accord and did a practice run. She of her own accord watered plants (never asked), cleaned out litter box, took everyday videos of pets, and cleaned up vomit. Who does that? She’s remarkable and I want to share her. I will ONLY be using her from now on as no one else can compete with her. I lucked out.

I have been using Sam as needed over the past 2 years and my dog absolutely adores her and so do I. It took me a long time to find someone who could handle him, as he is 88 lbs. and pulls when being walked. I work long hours and always feel at ease when I have her scheduled to walk Bowie because she has always been able to handle him so well. She gives him quality time in addition just a quick walk. She is very communicative, texts when they are together and sends pictures to me while I am at work. Best of all, she is reliable and punctual. I trust her in my home and she is always there at the exact time she says she will be. I am so grateful to have found her. When I have her scheduled to walk my dog, i have complete peace of mind.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Deerfield Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Deerfield Beach is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 per visit. On Rover, 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 6,502 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Deerfield Beach. 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 .

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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 .

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.
