About: Hi there! My name is Aubree, and I’m a true animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or keeping up with special routines, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I am currently a college student who is trying to find a way to make some extra money throughout the weekend/week. I tend to have a lot of time gaps between classes. For walks, I adjust to each dog’s needs and energy level. Whether your pup loves a long, fast-paced walk or a slower sniff-around-the-block kind of stroll, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and fresh air they need. Safety is always my priority, so I keep a close eye on surroundings, use secure leashes, and give them my full attention throughout the walk. Of course, I’ll also send you updates and photos so you know how much fun your dog is having!

I had a last-minute emergency and needed someone reliable to care for my cat Zoe right away. Audrey stepped in with almost no notice and absolutely knocked it out of the park! She was responsive, communicative, and genuinely caring from the very first message. She sent sweet updates with photos and videos of Zoe looking happy and relaxed, which put my mind completely at ease while I was away. Zoe can be a bit shy with new people, but Audrey clearly has a special way with cats—she was patient, gentle, and made Zoe feel safe and loved. The apartment was left spotless, food/water bowls were fresh, litter was scooped, and Zoe got plenty of playtime and cuddles. Everything was handled perfectly. Audrey is now my go-to sitter and I will definitely rebook her for my next trip. If you’re lucky enough to get her on your schedule, don’t hesitate—she’s wonderful! Thank you, Audrey, for being so dependable and kind. Zoe and I are so grateful!

About: **Hi! I’m Jessica 🐾** I’m a lifelong animal lover living in Delray Beach, originally from Rhode Island. I moved to Florida in 2016 and recently stepped away from my corporate career to create a more flexible lifestyle and spend more time doing the things I genuinely love — including being around animals! I’ve always had a natural connection with both dogs and cats. While I don’t currently have pets of my own because my living situation doesn’t allow it right now, I’ve been lucky enough to be trusted by friends and family to care for their pets many times over the years. I’ve cared for a Chihuahua mix, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever puppy, and multiple cats, including fostering two of my friend’s cats for an entire year. I’ve also provided drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care for friends’ dogs. In addition to my pet-care experience, I have a background in property management and home watch. I understand the importance of being responsible, observant, and respectful when entering and leaving someone’s home. You can feel confident that I’ll help keep your home secure by being mindful of doors, gates, alarms, lights, and any specific home-access instructions you provide. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and shy or anxious animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely — from feeding and walks to playtime, litter boxes, potty breaks, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m also comfortable walking dogs in the South Florida weather and will always prioritize their safety and comfort, including adjusting walks when temperatures or conditions call for it. My approach is pretty simple: **I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.** I’ll send plenty of photos and updates so you don't have to wonder how they're doing, and I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d want from someone looking after mine. For now, I’m focusing on **dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats**. I’m not offering overnight stays at this time, as I’d like to get to know my clients and their pets first and build that trust naturally. And if I could have my dream pets someday? An Italian Greyhound and a house full of tuxedo cats. 🐕🖤🐈‍⬛ I’d love to meet you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule and am able to build my days around pet care, which allows me to be available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I enjoy having a routine and being able to dedicate time to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. 🐾 I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow each pet’s routine and your instructions closely, while making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention during my visit. For walks, I’m mindful of the weather and your pet’s individual needs, especially in the South Florida heat. During drop-ins, I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed according to their routine, have a clean litter box or a chance to go outside, and get plenty of playtime and companionship. I’m also comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and puppy pets and understand that some animals need a little extra patience to feel comfortable with someone new. I’ll always respect their boundaries and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I give your pets, and I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that everything is going well while you’re away. 🤍

About: Shana & Shawn - currently a dynamic duo, my brother and I team up to care for your pet loved ones. We’ve been animal lovers our whole life and have cared for everything from dogs and cats to fish, birds, hamsters, and even reptiles. We currently have two dachshunds and a high-energy 75lb Belgian Malinois. We are very comfortable with both small pups and active, larger breeds. We genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and make it a priority to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for—whether that means playtime, fresh air, or extra snuggles. As a part-time nurse practitioner, I have a flexible work-from-home schedule that fits naturally with pet sitting. It allows me to be present, attentive, and intentional with the pets in my care, creating a calm and comfortable experience for them. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow their normal schedule and provide updates along the way. Outside of their home, I create a calm, safe environment depending on their needs.

About: A few perks your pup will love: 🏡 I work from home full time — lots of company, attention & flexibility throughout the day 🌳 Large, fully fenced-in yard — plenty of safe outdoor time for playing, sniffing & lounging 🐕 An active household — I typically take at least 2 walks a day and am happy to bring your pup along 📸 Plenty of updates — expect photos and check-ins so you always know how your pup is doing 🦴 Their routine, my routine — happy to follow feeding, medication, crate & training schedules I’ve always been an animal person and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and all the little quirks that make them them. As a pet owner myself, I also know how much trust goes into choosing someone to care for your dog. Whether your pup loves long walks and playtime, exploring the yard, or curling up next to me while I work, I’m happy to make them part of our routine and give them a home away from home while you’re away. 🐾 Because I work from home full time, pet care fits naturally into my day and I have lots of flexibility to follow your pet’s normal routine. I’m home throughout the day for plenty of attention and companionship, and can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, or other needs. 🐾 I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so their comfort and safety are always my priority. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, boundaries, and routine, and you can expect plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. I’m also clean and respectful of other people’s homes — my goal is a happy, well-cared-for pet and complete peace of mind for you. 💛

About: Hi! I’m America — dog mom to a very sweet goldendoodle named Monty and an all-around dog lover. If your pup stays with me, they are absolutely treated like family. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I focus on giving your pup tons of love, structure, and fun — the same way I care for Monty. Your dog will get lots of attention, potty breaks, playtime, belly rubs, enrichment, and all the cuddles they want. Monty is friendly, gentle, and LOVES meeting new dog friends, so your pup will always have a happy companion to play and relax with. 🐾❤️ I only offer boarding on the days I work from home and on weekends — which means your pup gets full attention, lots of supervision, and a relaxed, consistent routine. On my work-from-home days, I’m here all day to give your dog: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of playtime with Monty • Regular walks • Supervised downtime • All the cuddles they want On weekends, I’m home even more, so your pup gets maximum love and activity. I don’t board on days I go into the office because I want every dog in my care to get the attention, structure, and supervision they deserve. Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches — that’s important to me as a dog mom myself. Safety is my top priority. I board dogs only on days I am home all day or weekends to ensure constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, structured walks, and a calm environment. All dogs are monitored during interactions with my own dog and given appropriate space and rest. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your dog’s established routine, use secure equipment, maintain clean food/water areas, and provide detailed updates. Your pet will always be cared for with attention, reliability, and respect.

About: I am always looking for an excuse to be around dogs and I like to spend as much time as I can outdoors, so dog walking has always been something that I enjoy. I am currently an online college student so when I am not in lectures or studying I have plenty of time to walk your dogs I am very cautious of the surrounding environment during walks. I always make sure that the dog is safe and that we are a safe distance from all others dogs and people around.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Delray Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Delray Beach on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,204 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Delray Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Delray Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Delray Beach. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
