“I have a large working line GSD and a blue and gold macaw. Margot was responsive and was able to help me out with short notice. I have a senior dog so there are a lot of supplements and meds to keep up with and everything was just as I left it when I returned. She did an excellent job! I can tell by my dog's behavior when I return if I have a good sitter as he definitely shows stress. It was like I went to work and came home. No anxiety or stress for my pup! Thanks Margo!”
“Cheyenne was absolutely amazing with my dog Hank! She communicated daily with us and it was difficult due to the time difference between us (we were in Hawaii) and she kept us informed about a few concerning issues , We would highly recommend Cheyenne. We felt that she enjoys her responsibilities and really cares which made us feel comfortable and confident being so far away from our big baby! Thank you so much Cheyenne for all your help and it truly allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing you were there for our dog Hank!”
About: Hi, I’m Amy! 🐾🩷 I always joke that I should’ve been a vet because animals have had my heart my entire life, but I ended up in healthcare instead! I’ve always had German Shepherds, so big dogs don’t scare me, but I truly love all animals. Two legs, four legs, feathers, scales—or even an entire fish tank—I’m happy to help! 😂 I even have a house chicken named Isaac (who I found on the side of the road—true story!) who is completely convinced he’s a dog. 🐥 I work Monday–Friday from 8–4:30, so I’m available before and after work, evenings, and have much more flexibility on weekends. I also have a 10-year-old son who is an absolute animal lover and, with your permission, may occasionally join me while learning responsibility and proper animal care. ❤️ I’ll treat your babies like my own, send plenty of pictures and updates, and I’m always happy to meet beforehand to make sure we’re a great fit and everyone feels comfortable! 🐾🥰 Lakewood Park/Vero Beach area is ideal, but I’m happy to discuss surrounding areas too! 🩷 I work Monday–Friday from 8–4:30, so I’m available before work, after work, evenings, and bedtime visits. Weekends are much more flexible! 🐾 (Happy to do overnights as well!) Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! ❤️ I’ll follow their normal routine and your instructions closely, give them lots of love and attention, and send plenty of photo updates so you know your baby is happy and safe. 🐾
About: Hi there! I’m Elise, A passionate animal lover and a recent college graduate. I have the joy and privilege of sharing my life with six wonderful pets: two playful dogs and four affectionate cats. These beloved companions have taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and attentive care. I recently graduated with a degree in Business, but my true passion has always been caring for animals. Throughout my college years, I balanced a full course load with my dedication to my furry family, ensuring they always received the love, attention, and care they deserved. During summer breaks, I also took on pet-sitting responsibilities, further deepening my experience and love for animal care. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them. Whether it’s a walk in the park, a game of fetch, or a cozy cuddle session, I am here to ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Best, Elise Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. With six animals at home, each with their own unique needs, I have developed a comprehensive and structured approach to ensure they receive the best care possible. My pets have varied routines throughout the day, including different feeding schedules and specific dietary requirements. I meticulously manage these schedules to ensure each pet gets the appropriate type and amount of food. Additionally, I have experience administering medication, as one of my cats requires daily medication for a heart condition. This level of detailed and attentive care has equipped me with the skills and dedication necessary to provide exceptional care for your pets as well. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, involves a comprehensive and attentive approach tailored to each pet's unique needs. In my home, I maintain a structured routine for my six animals, which includes different feeding schedules, dietary requirements, and regular exercise. Each pet receives individual attention to ensure their well-being. I also have experience administering medication, as one of my cats requires daily heart medication. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow a similar meticulous approach. I carefully adhere to the feeding schedules and dietary instructions provided by the pet owner. I ensure the pets receive ample exercise and playtime, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. I also provide any necessary medications as instructed, ensuring the pets are comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. Whether at my home or a client’s, my goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where pets feel loved and cared for.
“Danielle did a great job sending me pictures and keeping me updated while I was away. When I returned, the house the way I left it and the pups were exhausted from the play time she spent with them. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve had a dog since age 7 and would give him baths and take him for walks. As an Amazon driver I had many cases where dogs would charge at me barking and growling, but they’d quickly start wagging their tails after sniffing my hand and sensing that I’m not a threat. I also have had cats all my life and my cat, Jazzy, is my best friend and only trusts me! I just moved to FL from CT and am currently staying with my grandmother and looking for a part time job and hope to be able to take care of pets on my off days I am very careful to follow any instructions for caring for your pets. I’m not careless or forgetful and will follow any directions to a T and ask questions if I am unsure about anything.
“Alyssa was so helpful! She stayed in my Home to care for my Golden Retriever. She responded to messages quickly and kept me informed. I look forward to having her stay again next time I travel.”
About: Love animals and have always had dogs. Most recently, my 14 year old retriever taught me all the tricks to get picky pups to take their pills. I have a fenced in yard and love taking furry friends for walks. My husband and I currently work 8 to 5 during the week and are off on weekends so there is plenty of time for pet care/love. I have a fenced in yard and live on a dirt, dead end street, perfect for walks. No other pets in the house currently. We could also stay at your place if it’s easier for your dogs (mine was a home body so I can relate).
About: I love dogs. They energize me and I enjoy taking care of them. Let me know your pet's routine and I will take the best care of them. My schedule is very flexible so I can adjust for pet care, as needed. I am available 7 days per week. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet! I will take care of your home and your pet with the utmost care. It is important for me to leave a home the way I found it and clean up after myself. I enjoy being outside and will exercise your pet, if that is what's best for them.
About: I'm home 22 out of 24 hours in the day. I've had at least 4 pets at all times for as long as I can remember. From dogs, to cats, bantam chickens, lop-eared and Angora bunnies, hamsters, African frogs, turtles, to my sweet potbelly pig, Carnita ("Nita"). Life feels fullest when animals are part of my daily routine. Recently, my Nita unexpectedly passed away (10/26/23). She was like a child to me. Although she left behind 1 dog and 2 cats, the house feels much emptier. Buddy, the dog, says he'd love some company to pick up the mood & keep his heart young. 😌 *In effort to maintain a balanced environment, I require a two (2) night minimum for boarding (2 day min. for daycare)* I work from home; I have plenty of time in-between Zoom calls to love on and attend to your little darlings. Permitting I have a few days notice, I will gladly care for yours during the week & on weekends too. I live in a small gated community in Vero Beach. My yard is not fenced; however, I can/do leash them up as often as needed for potty breaks and longer walks 1-2x daily (anywhere from 1.5-4 miles each go). I run too. My own dog is a little beyond his running days, so I use a jogger. Depending on your pup's activity level, they could run alongside me, or possibly hitch a ride in the stroller! In Your Home (house sitting or drop ins): I am happy to abide by your current schedule, making the transition of your trip easy on your fur babies. I am also resourceful, and will find the best outdoor fun for them, in the case that they need some fun distractions to tire them out!
“Isabelle is a great sitter! She arrived very prepared for the stay and asked a lot of questions to make sure my dog got the best care while she was here. During the stay she was very easy to reach and provided great updates with how my dog was doing.”
“Jayla, we are so grateful we found you to care for our dogs on our trip away. You took not only such good care of them but also of our home. When we returned the house was neat and clean and the dogs were literally glowing. We are so happy we have found you and look forward to having you house and dog sit for us again. We feel you became not only a friend to our pups but to us as well. Please reach out for anything! Thank you again so much!”
“Chaste was wonderful! She came over several times a day, like we requested and let our doggies out. We have cameras everywhere and we could see her playing fetch with our doggies, loving on them and making sure they were taking care of. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I've been animal sitting since I was very young, have never had a home without a pet, have raised, trained, sat, and taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have been relied on for years by friends, family, neighbors, local community members, colleagues, and even friends of friends to care for and watch over their fur babies. I have even been flown out of state to watch over pets of a employer because of how much trust they had in me. I sent frequent photos and updates so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing! I currently work as a Door Dash delivery driver so I choose my hours and will not take any orders if I have a pet in my care, I can stay home and put all my focus on taking care of your pet 24/7! I have a large bathroom and crate if you prefer your dog in a more controlled environment, I have a large side yard and plenty of nearby dog parks and a very safe sidewalk for longer walks and running and playing.
“Beatriz was very attentive, very communicative, always on time and took great care of my pups. Sent pictures, asked the right questions, loved on them. Awesome! She was a blessing, gave us peace of mind, knowing my girls were in great hands! I will call on her again! Thanks so much!”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, Rabbits, sugar gliders. Young, old, special needs. I do it all. I believe pets are like children, they love to learn. I am recently retired so I can devote as much time as needed for your furry ( not so furry) babies. A lot of love to give. I prefer to sit in the clients home as I feel the pet will be less nervous or anxious in familiar surroundings. I like the pet to get to know me in their own time. Trust is earned.
About: I was a vet tech for 15 years. I’ll treat your pet with loving kindness and respect. I know how to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I am a proud pug mom and she is like my child. I will treat your fur kid the same way. I also have experience with senior pets, as I had an old pug, who was the love of my life. I’m a runner and I can keep up with your pet. Whether it’s a walk during the day, medication administered, a one mile run with your puppy, hanging with them while you go on vacation…I’m here for you and your pet! My schedule is currently open to take care of your fur babies. Please contact me for availability, as things may be filling up as time goes on. I will care for your pets in your home! I am familiar with crate and potty training. I have 15 years experience in the veterinary tech field so I am knowledgeable. I am familiar with caring for dogs and cats.
About: I have a dog. I’ve had my dog for over 10 years. I have experience with high energy animals as well as older animals that like to take it slow. I have a open flexible schedule and vehicle. I work from home so I can be with my animal and yours. The animals come first in the house, they have a schedule and I follow it. I work from home and create my own schedule around my animals schedule. Gated dog park in neighborhood. Dog harness and leash while outside the fenced area. Pick up poop from dogs while on a walk. Open concept for inside lounging and play. Multiple dog beds and a large couch in the living room.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hailey did an amazing job caring for our home and pets while we were away for four days and three nights. From the start, she was professional, dependable, and easy to communicate with, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. Our pets were clearly well cared for and received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Hailey kept us updated while we were away, and it was reassuring to know everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, our pets were happy and relaxed, and our house was clean, secure, and well maintained. Hailey went above and beyond our expectations and treated both our home and pets as if they were her own. Her rates were very fair, especially considering the outstanding level of care and service she provided. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Hailey!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I have 6 dogs at home of all different sizes. I have also worked at a dog boarding facility where I have taken care of dogs overnight. I have fed, given medications, let dogs out in groups, bathed dogs and interacted with many different temperaments. I am currently going to school so I am available any time after 2PM. I also work part time but love to spend time with all the animals I can! I care for all animals with equal trust and respect. I know that introducing a new person can be stressful for the animal so I like to make sure that they feel comfortable. I am comfortable taking animals out on walks or out into a fenced in yard!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Florida Ridge is $50

This was our second booking with Reva, and all the furry ones were spoiled and happy. Reva communicated with me during both booking and always sends plenty of pictures (so I can see the shenanigans the dog and cats try to pull). I definitely recommend Reva to care for your pets
Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She stayed overnight for 4 days at my home to care for my two dogs, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they weren’t alone. That meant everything to me. She was incredibly responsive, always on time, and kept me updated, which made the whole experience stress free. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got back. I would 100 percent recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. She’s a great choice!

FAQs for House Sitting - Florida Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Florida Ridge is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $87 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 528 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Florida Ridge. 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 Florida Ridge 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 Florida Ridge 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 Florida Ridge 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Florida Ridge. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
