I’m also experienced with administering medications and trained in pet CPR, so your pets are in capable hands in case of emergencies. My home includes cats, birds, and lizards, giving me experience with a wide range of animal needs and personalities. Whether it’s daily care, special instructions, or emergency readiness, I’m here to keep your pets safe, happy, and loved. I work from home so I am able to bring my laptop with me and work while taking care of the animal as well as stopping by to let the animal out and can even give animals baths or do anything that’s necessary that the animal may need In my home, animals have a well taken care of diet.

About: Hi, I’m Lourie! I offer calm, compassionate, and dependable care for your pets—because to me, they’re family. With decades of experience and a genuine love for animals, I’m here to give your furry friend the same love and attention you would. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I followed my heart and began working with animals. I've spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and colleagues, and I now work with a local dog rescue and serve as secretary for a local animal welfare nonprofit. I have a soft spot for senior pets and animals who need a little extra patience, but I also enjoy helping energetic pups and kittens burn off energy and build confidence. I’m comfortable giving medications, maintaining routines, and tailoring care to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s a short drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your pet! I work remotely with a local dog rescue, so caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life. This allows me to maintain a consistent, attentive presence and provide reliable care for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I intentionally keep my schedule balanced to ensure each pet receives calm, focused attention without feeling rushed or overlooked. I place a strong emphasis on maintaining routines, helping pets feel secure, comfortable, and at ease while you’re away. I provide personalized overnight care in your home, where pets feel most secure in their familiar environment and routine. Staying in their own space allows for a calm, low-stress experience while you’re away. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to each visit, ensuring your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. I’m respectful of your home and routines, and I prioritize clear communication so you always feel informed and at ease. I’m happy to work with you to create a customized care plan that aligns with your pet’s needs and your preferences.
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful. My cat flapjack loved her. Took good care of him. Came home to a spotless house and a very happy kitty. Will be booking her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years. I’ve been doing it regularly for going on two years. I use word of mouth, testimonials and social media to connect with clients I work 7:30am-3:30pm M-F so most of my care would take place before work, after work and on weekends. I can only stay in your home. I love to walk dogs but okay if you just want them in yard. 🙂 I like having dogs in bed but only if owner is comfortable with it. Never have guests. Don’t drink or smoke. Bring own food but love fizzy water and protein drinks if you’d be so kind to provide.
“Lillian was great! Had a lot of updates and and photos which made me know he was in good hands. Was very patient with his little quirks and also grateful dealing with his escape attempts. Made Maverick feel very comfortable while we were away.”
“My 3 dogs were taken care of for 2 weeks at my home and they were all fine and no issues with escaping. One of them realized she could jump my fence right before I left but there was no escaping when I was gone because she kept the doors locked. My dog checks! She handled them and I had peace of mind.”
About: I make sure my dogs are taken care of. I have been around dogs since I was 5 and I can never say no to dogs I always make sure they have what they need I have a thing of getting them new toys. I trained my own two dogs they are house trained and crate trained. I work part-time so I have extra time on my hands. I love being around dogs I have two of my own and being a big mom is the best part of my life. We do live an apartment but I take my dogs to the dog park every day as much as I can. We are in a gated community and there are dogs in my area that my dogs love to play with everyday/night.
“Lori is a trustworthy and highly reliable dog sitter. I would definitely recommend her. She’s so good with dogs, both big and small! She loves & cares for the dogs as if they’re her own. We look forward to booking her again.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! This was our first time ever leaving our dogs and she came to do a meet and greet with them and we knew immediately she was good for our critters. Our dogs loved her, she was very playful with them and so caring. We were gone for two days everyday she checked in with us with pictures, videos, and text messages!! Very good with communication which eased a lot of worry while we were away. If we ever are away again we will definitely be booking lauren any and every time!! Thank you again!! :)”
About: I have had many dogs since I was born and have owned many animals including hamsters and snakes. I have treated minor illnesses in dogs before and know multiple emergency vet offices nearby. I am comfortable giving medicines and keeping strict routines and diets. I excel in reading animal body language and understanding and avoiding triggers. I attend College classes Mondays and Wednesdays. I also have a part-time job that I work Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. I usually wake up around 7:30 and have a relaxing morning to myself. I spend my free time at home doing school work and hanging out with my dog and cat. I have a 3/4 acre lot with a six foot chain link fence. I have a Shar-pei American Bulldog mix and a Domestic Shorthair cat, both do well with other animals and can be contained if the need arises. Animals get fed twice a day, 1/2 a cup each morning and evening for the puppy and 1/4 cup each morning and evening for the kitty. The animals are let out freely as we have a screened in pool with a dog door. Toys are preferred but if your baby likes the dog park I know of many and am willing to go with them. Animals are not allowed on the furniture but can get plenty of snuggles on the floor!

About: Have had animals in my life since I was a baby, ranging from dogs to hamsters to birds and many cats. Fostered kittens in college with my best friend and volunteered at HALO in high school, would love to be around animals again! I currently work full-time from Tues-Fri but have my weekends free and typically evenings! I’m a big time reader, so even if i’m stopping in to give them some company it’s no problem, I’ve got a book I can get lost in with some company. I typically will not be able to house any pets currently but am more than happy to come by your place to keep them comfortable in their space.
“Becca is amazing! She took awesome care of my three doggies, and kept me informed each day of how they were doing by texting and sending pictures!! I will use her each time I need someone to watch my three. I highly recommend her! She's awesome!! Thank you so very much Becca!! ??????”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Pierce
Olyssia was the best dog sitter we have ever had! She was very responsive, took great care of our dogs, and left our house clean and tidy. She sent pictures of the dogs throughout her stay with them. She went above and beyond to care for, exercise and entertain them.
I’ve used Krista for drop-ins before, but this was her first time staying overnight with the dogs — and she did a great job. She was communicative, dependable, and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind. I have a senior dog who needs special care and she did wonderful. Looking forward to using Krista again! 🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Pierce
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Pierce 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 529 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Pierce. 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 Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
