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: 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 amazing! We needed care last minute due to our arranged sitters having to cancel a few days before we were leaving town. We were so lucky to find her on such short notice! She was very communicative during our time away and took excellent care of our pup and 2 kitties!”
About: I'm a dog mommy to a 8 year old Chihuahua/Rat terrier mix named Milkshake. She's been with me for 4 years but my experience with dogs goes back over a decade. I'm the one at the party talking to the pets. I'm very flexible on weekends but a bit limited during the week, other than evenings after 7. Also, Milkshake is friendly and sociable. She enjoys having puppy pals come over for a visit. :)
“Maria took very good care of Jazzy. She was responsive, sent pictures and followed my directions. When I returned, my home was in neat and clean condition. Maria is a very good sitter! Marcia”
“Kathy was amazing taking care of dog Eve for a long weekend. There were some last minute challenges thrown in the mix with Eve getting sick and needing to receive medications while I was away and Kathy’s experience was a game changer for easing my mind while away. She also did a great job giving love to my cats who did drive by visits with her throughout the stay. I would highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a seasoned animal lover who will send updates and pictures daily.”
“Maria did a great job watching Teddy overnight. We had a meet and greet before she spent the night with Teddy. Very responsive and sent several pictures that night and the next day. She can certainly be counted on to take good care of your fur baby.”
“Maryann was terrific- will definitely call for her again- our 15 year old Havanese/Bichon was loved and well cared for. We were nervous about leaving him with someone he did not know but i will have no future worries. Maryann left our home in perfectly clean condition- i give her an A+??”
“Raven was so great! This was my first time using Rover and she made it so easy. She was great with my Charlie and I couldn’t be more grateful. I will definitely keep booking with Raven! :)”
“Sara was fantastic! She was responsible, responsive and very prompt with her communication. Both dogs were very comfortable with her - even our picky boy Tucker! We would recommend her and plan on hiring her again.”
“Cathrine was great, very attentive, friendly and communicative. Sent great photos and our boys really enjoyed her company especially our cat, Brooklyn, which says a lot. We’ll definitely book again when the opportunity arises.”
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. I’m currently working part time at my resident school. I’m working privately there with a special needs girl. She’s 5. I enjoy yoga and animals, my boys and cleaning. I love animals, children being a teacher and I’m a mom to two boys. I have lots of love to give and would love to give it to your pet kids.
About: I’m a full-time medical student/worker who is looking to make some extra money to help with expenses. An I’ve always said if the doctor stuff doesn’t workout, I’m going to work with animals. I’ve taken care of cats, rabbits, birds, and hamsters. Our family never owned a dog but I’ve had Roomates with them which is basically the same thing. I’ve lived with and taken care of Pitbulls, Hunting Dogs, and even little fur chickens. All animals are great and it’s on us caretakers to connect and treat them well. I work full-time so I can only do evenings and weekends. Again this is something I’m trying to do on the side just to make some extra money. You can expect a well mannered, educated, and respectful individual into your home and to care for your loved one(s). You know your pet better than anyone else. I get along with all animals but understand they’re all different. They not too different from us so I will treat them with the same respect and will head any guidance that uour offer.
About: Hi! My name is Elena, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m a reliable, patient, and caring person who understands that every pet has their own personality and routine. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make safety my top priority during every walk or visit. I work as a pharmacy technician, so I’m detail-oriented and comfortable following medication schedules and providing oral medications if needed. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule, even for last-minute requests whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s routine and instructions to make sure every dog feels happy and secure. I live in a pet-friendly community with a spacious dog park where dogs can safely enjoy extra exercise and playtime if requested. I’m also happy to take dogs to a local dog beach or explore new walking routes with the owner’s permission.
“Well, our pups have a new Auntie! I can only say that Auntie Evelyn went above and beyond. Not only is she very professional, she is very warm and caring. Evelyn will take extra care and spoil your furbabies. She watched Maggie & Milo in our home, and when we returned back from vacay, our home was cleaner than before we left. I highly recommend Evelyn for all your pet sitting needs. Can't wait to go away again. Thank you and see you soon! Fred & Lisa & Maggie & Milo”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Delray Beach is $55

Maryann was absolutely great! She helped out a very little notice, was extremely flexible, listened and implemented our instructions, sent us lots of pictures and most importantly treated our doggie as if it was her own. Maryann will be our forever “go to” sitter
Jaclyn is wonderful! We recommend her highly and without reservation. She watched our two dogs, a bullmastiff and a lab mix, and she exceeded our expectations. Our dogs bonded with her instantly, she was attentive to all their needs, and she kept us updated daily with photos and stories. Perfect!
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!
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
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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 3,175 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.
