About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I have 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for animals, from my own pets and family pets to working in the pet industry. I’ve cared for many different kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, and bunnies, and I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, quirks, and way of communicating. I really enjoy taking the time to get to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. My experience also includes pet sitting, dog walking, boarding, training, enrichment, and learning about pet nutrition and everyday animal care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and household preferences. I’ve also worked with pets who need a little extra patience or understanding, and I believe the best care comes from paying attention to the little things—whether that's recognizing when a shy pet needs space, giving an energetic dog plenty of play and exercise, or simply keeping a nervous animal company. Most importantly, I don't see pet care as simply a job. I genuinely love animals, and I want every pet I care for to feel like they're spending time with someone who truly enjoys being around them. 🐶🐱🐰🐠🦜🐍💕 I’m available Monday–Friday from 5:00 PM–11:45 PM, with open availability on weekends from 10:00 AM–11:45 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can be flexible when possible. 😊 Whether your pet needs an evening visit, a late-night check-in, or weekend care, I’d love to help! 🐶🐱💕 I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions before their care begins. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and keep their environment clean, secure, and comfortable. I make sure doors, gates, and other areas are safely secured, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and stay attentive to their behavior and surroundings. When caring for pets in my own environment, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised space where their safety and comfort come first. I never assume every pet has the same needs, so I adjust my approach to each individual animal. I also believe communication is a big part of trust. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕

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.

About: My family recently lost our two beloved dogs at the ages of 14 and 15. While we aren't ready to adopt a new pet just yet, we deeply miss the companionship of animals. To fill that void and share our love for pets, I have decided to offer pet sitting services in our home. Both of our dogs had special needs towards the end of their lives, and we went above and beyond to ensure their comfort and happiness. This experience has instilled a deep understanding of animal care and a commitment to providing the highest quality of care to our clients' furry friends. We are extremely loving and attentive individuals who are passionate about providing a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your pets while you're away. As I work from home, we can offer flexible scheduling and frequent check-ins to ensure your pets are happy and content throughout the day. My remote work schedule allows for seamless integration of pet sitting into my daily routine. Mornings will begin with a bathroom break or walk as needed. When I start working I can keep your pet in my home office for companionship or leave alone for an afternoon slumber. Throughout the day, I maintain flexibility for quick check-ins, for the pet owner and pet. Evenings are dedicated to dinner, playtime, and snuggles with the pets before their bedtime routines. This schedule prioritizes the needs of the pet while maintaining a productive work environment for me. I can adjust this schedule on request to accommodate the specific needs of each pet, ensuring they receive adequate exercise, stimulation, and attention throughout the day Pets will be treated as family members in our smoke-free, pet-free home. I will deliver attentive care, including regular feeding, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I will prioritize their comfort and safety, ensuring a loving and stress-free environment.

About: I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, attentive, and patient, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and senior dogs who may require a little more patience and care. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, administering medications as instructed, going on walks, providing plenty of playtime, and giving lots of love and companionship. As a registered nurse, I’m especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or overall well-being. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands. I work from home 3-4 times a week and have most weekends off. I have a flexible schedule. Open to boarding as well as long as we pre-schedule a time to ensure your animal is comfortable around my very friendly dog named Mia :) I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime routines. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision based on their individual needs and personality. I’m also very mindful of keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left just as I found it. Most importantly, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind and let them know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

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!

Marian was absolutely wonderful!!! She went above and beyond while taking care of Hunter this past weekend. She sent plenty of photos and videos, kept in touch regularly, and made sure I always felt updated and at ease. Hunter can be a bit particular with his schedule — going in and out, changing collars for day and night, etc. — but Marian handled it all perfectly. He was clearly comfortable and happy with her, which says everything! On top of that, she took excellent care of my home, was very respectful, and truly made the whole experience stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Marian — we will definitely be booking with her again!

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

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 :)

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.

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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 3,171 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.
