“Chas was awesome! One of my dog had a health issue while I was away and she was quick to spot it and even went to the store to get him the required medication. She definitely went above and beyond and I highly recommend booking her.”
About: I’ve taken care of my daughters dogs when they travel and I really like enjoy doing it. We have a good connection I love playing and feeding them. I am an energetic person who is very active in my free time, I love going on walks, exploring new areas and making new furry friends! I am very flexible as I am retired and can arrange my schedule to fit your needs. I make sure they are safe at all times. I monitor them for any behavioral changes, ensure there is nothing harmful in their vicinity, and just overall make sure the pet is relaxed and happy. I would never leave a pet in a distressed state.
“Our dogs had a great time with Logan over the weekend. He was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a dog sitter.”
About: I've always adored animals ever since I was little. Growing up I was surrounded by not only cats and dogs but I also had a bird and chinchilla. From a young age, I was taught the correct ways to care for animals; now I have two dogs of my own. I have experience with watching multiple animals at the same time while providing different care for each animal individually based on what they need. I understand firsthand how important it is to feel comfortable and safe when trusting someone with your animals and I promise that I will provide the best care. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I am currently a student and work part-time, I carefully manage my schedule to ensure I can provide dependable, attentive care. I am committed to being upfront about my availability and only accepting bookings that allow me to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. If my schedule aligns with your needs and it’s a good fit for both of us, I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s well-being and tailor my care to their individual needs, personality, and energy level to ensure they are happy and comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved family member. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
“Suzanne was a lifesaver and helped us with a last minute request. She was responsive and quick to help. We did house sitting with Suzanne and it was a smooth process and Josie warmed up to her which is fantastic. Thank you and we look forward to working with you again!!”
About: I have been in the pet care service industry as a dog groomer for 8 years. I have owned and operated an In-Home dog grooming business since 2019, licensed, insured, and certified (if you’re interested I still offer these services). I have also worked in a vet clinic. My love for dogs is endless and I hope I can continue building my career and relationships with current and new fur-babies. If you have any questions please do not hesitate as I am very well educated when it comes to your four legged children. 🐶❤️ I am a full-time dog groomer and entrepreneur, my schedule can be fairly flexible although it mainly revolves around appointment requests. Just let me know times and days and I will get back to you ASAP if I can make it happen. I will love and care for your pet as if they are my own. I have taken care of tens of thousands of dogs in my career, rest assured your pet is safe with me.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since i was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’ve always been the one to stay behind on vacations to guarantee everyone’s babies are taken care of. And i love doing so. I am available anytime before 1pm on weekdays as of right now. On the weekends anytime after 3pm. I am available all day wednesday and thursdays. When I care for pets in a client's home, I make sure to stick to their usual routine as much as possible. This means feeding them at their regular times, giving them their medications if needed, and keeping up with their walking and playtime schedules. I also focus on providing plenty of affection and attention, so they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Plus, I keep the home tidy, clean up any pet messes, and send updates as you want and need. And also a daily photo collage at the end of the night to the owners for peace of mind.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have my own dog (who is quite needy) and two cats, and I was raised with a cat, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love taking the time to make animals feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friends and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work a 9-5, Monday through Friday! My pets are my family’s and I just moved away so I currently have no pets that need taken care of in this area, so I’d love to take my time to take care of yours. I treat your pets like I’d treat my own with love and compassion while making sure to abide by your standards of pet care.
“Maria was very caring and considerate. She texted updates and pictures. She also responded quickly to any questions or concerns I may have had. My home and puppy were perfect on my return. Looking forward to calling her again!”
“Maria was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my dog Chance for four nights at my home. From the moment we met, I could tell she truly loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She was warm, professional, and completely put my mind at ease. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with messages and photos of Chance looking happy and relaxed, which meant the world to me. I could tell he was getting lots of love, attention, and playtime. She also kept my home spotless, which was a lovely bonus to come back to. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone else, but Maria made the experience seamless and worry-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Chance again—and I know he’d be thrilled to see her too! Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I started walking neighbors dogs at 7. 27 years later I now take care of all my friends animals and become their second best friend I’m available all day and evening unless previously booked. Typically between 10 am 10 pm unless I am hosting the animal. I am home most of the day so they will never be lonely or neglected I have one cat that is like my baby. She has her own room and I can crate her if necessary. I live in a safe gated community and can walk dogs around there as often as they need
“Jane was absolutely phenomenal, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment we left for vacation, she kept in touch with us every single day, sending pictures and videos that gave us so much comfort and peace of mind. Our dog, Piper, is a very special girl and takes a few daily medications. Jane was incredibly attentive and made sure Piper stayed on her regular schedule the entire time. Knowing that Piper was receiving such loving, responsible care allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. Not only did she take amazing care of Piper, but she also kept our home clean and treated everything with respect. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, professional, reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We are so grateful for everything Jane did. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl and giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our time away. We will absolutely be booking with her again”
About: I use to have a pet sitting business in college. I’ve live in boca my whole life. Have references. Dogs heal my soul and deserve the love I have to give. Let’s chat.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Delray Beach
10/10 We loved having Taylor over while we were out of state. Before we left, she coordinated a meet/greet with our 2 pets, before our (5) day trip. We knew we made the best choice with her care. It was especially heartwarming to receive daily updates with pics/videos while we were away! Our pets are normally not around other people, and very skiddish - but they instantly warmed up to Taylor. We could tell with their behavior in the daily updates how genuinely comfortable they were with Taylor. Taylor genuinely cared about a peace of mind trip for us, and gave the pets a stress free environment while we were away. Book Taylor for your pet care!

Alicia was so kind and caring for my elderly pet. She went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable, gave him a bath, hand fed him breakfast and dinner, and cared for him as I would (which included doing laundry after accidents that happen at his age). She is sweet and keeps in touch, sending lots of pictures and updates. I felt my pet was in good hands for my entire trip, I couldn't be more thankful to come home to a happy calm little doggo. She is the best :)
Shay was a pleasure to meet. Very personable and friendly from the moment I met her. I have two dogs that can be a bit timid, and nervous with new people. She has a nice calming spirit about her and they both took to her quickly. I appreciate all the pictures and detailed updates she sent. She left the house, looking great and emptied the trash and made sure the boys had water. Everything was perfect! I will definitely book with her again whenever she’s available. She was very responsive from when I first contacted her through the whole booking. Thank you the boys loved you!
Roberta has been absolutely fantastic! You can tell she is a true dog lover from the first moment she met our pups. She has been a perfect fit for helping us during a busy time—always professional and consistently on time. We especially love that she sends regular updates and videos, which gives us such peace of mind. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and highly recommend booking her!
Paige did such a great job taking care of our senior pup. She was prompt, responsible, listened to directions AND reached out with questions and updates. I would recommend Paige for any house sit and we’re already looking to book her to watch our dog during our next trip.
This is my fourth time hiring Yanela for overnight stays to watch Rosco (dog) and Bongo (bird) while I'm away on business. There's a reason I keep going back, and there's not enough space to even describe how amazing she is. She's a true animal lover and treats every pet as her own. I just wanted a set of eyes on my pets, but she takes Rosco everywhere! She takes him for walks, goes to parks, watches movies, and takes naps with him in the hammock. Rosco is treated like a spoiled rock star! She constantly sends pics or videos, so you'll always know your pets are in good hands and doing great. She also sends pics when she arrives, when they're fed, and when they're put to bed. I have a housekeeper, so I told Yanela to leave the bed unmade, but she makes it up beautifully and leaves everything spotless. You won't even know she was there. She is perfect beyond belief, and if you hire her one time, you'll understand. If there's anything negative to say, I think Rosco is starting to like her more than me! He's always so thrilled to see his "Aunt Yanela," and that means I can leave with total confidence that everything will be handled with great care. Rosco says "woof," which I think is Chihuahua for "thank you so much for a super fun weekend and taking great care of me!" He's looking forward to seeing her again in April. So, if you just need a sitter, you can probably find many good ones on Rover.com But if you need someone who shines brighter than all, who's super responsible, and who will treat your pets with the utmost care, attention, and love, Yanela is your five-star choice!
Carolina was amazing with my girl Tikka! My cat is a true Velcro kitty and Carolina embraced it and spent so much time with Tikka, giving her all the attention, cuddles, and play time she needed while I was away. So happy to have found an amazing and reliable cat sitter! Carolina is super responsive, sent lots of pics and updates, and left the apartment in the great condition. Can’t wait to book again for my next trip away!
Kelly is an amazing dog sitter. This is the second time I’ve used her for overnight stays, and she continues to do a fantastic job. She keeps in touch consistently, sends updates, and I genuinely feel that she cares about my dog. I always feel confident leaving him in her care. I’m also very grateful for how helpful and accommodating she has been whenever I’ve needed support. I highly recommend Kelly

FAQs for House Sitting - Delray Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Delray Beach on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,220 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Delray 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 Delray 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 Delray 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.
Tip: 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 Delray 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Delray Beach. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
