About: Friendly, reliable dog lover with 5+ years of experience! From high-energy Labs to cozy Dachshunds, I offer attentive walking, drop-ins, and house sitting for all breeds. I work remotely, so my schedule is completely flexible. Since all I need is my laptop, I can easily house sit without leaving your dog alone for long periods. This lets me stick directly to their usual daily routine for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. In my home, I keep a pet-proofed, safe environment where dogs are supervised, fed separately, and given plenty of cozy space to relax. In client homes, I strictly follow your routines, double-check secure doors and gates, and send frequent photo updates so you always have peace of mind.

“We had Stella stay at our home for 5 days and 4 nights to watch our 3yr Westie and our Bulldog who is almost 11. She was wonderful with both and handled all the problems and care that goes into an 11yr old Bulldog which included medications. We had daily photos sent to us and she left our home just the way it was when we left, ok maybe better. She accommodated our flight delay by coming back for one last visit which we really appreciated. Usually when we get back from a getaway our dogs go crazy to see us but this time they looked a little disappointed when the door opened and it wasn’t Stella. We highly recommend her and look forward to future travels knowing we have some one like her to stay with the pups.”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have been around dogs and cats. Whether they are my own or friends', I have always been an animal lover. I have had numerous opportunities to take care of furry friends and love to do so, especially as I am currently a traveling graduate student. Over the years, my experience has ranged from daily feedings and active walks to creating a calm, safe environment for pets while their owners are away. From one animal lover to another, I value bringing a high level of responsibility, clear communication, and detail-oriented care to pet sitting. I deeply respect every animal's unique routine and make it a priority to treat your pets like my own, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise. You can always count on timely photo updates and total peace of mind knowing your best friend is in dependable hands. During the week, I am off by 3:30pm and have generally an open schedule during the weekends to provide care, play and walks of many sorts. I offer drop-in visits and house-sitting services exclusively in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and safe. With a highly dependable vehicle and strong time-management skills, you can count on me to always arrive on schedule. My top priority is to build trust with both you and your pet by providing dedicated, high-quality care, strictly following your routine, and keeping you updated every step of the way so you can have complete peace of mind while away.

About: I have worked at the Humane Society of Greater Miami and taken care of pets for about 5 years now, ranging from tiny to large dogs such as Malteses to Labradors, I have also taken care of different/several cats and even have gotten the most antisocial ones to be comfortable with me! I have literally seen every kind of dog and cat from my time at the Humane Society, I was there for all of my high school years and some of the beginning of my college career. Since then I’ve been taking care of family’s, friend’s, and neighbors’ pets off and on. I’m definitely the kind of person that will say hi to your pet before you (no offense) and treat them as my own. I’ve had a dog for 12 years and with that came my growth in love for animals and always ensuring they’re properly taken care of. I will always make sure they’re safe and don’t worry, I like to take and send so many pics of them to you to make sure you know how they’re doing at all times! I’m currently not working since I have started nursing school! It takes up a chunk of my time since I’m usually studying but I feel like that makes me great for a sitter position, I’ve taken care of different pets for years and my schedule is free anytime after 2pm on Wednesdays, and anytime Thursday-Saturday. I always ensure to create a safe environment whenever I’m around anyone’s pet, they don’t know me so I always try to have them warm up to me. I like to make sure they’re safe under my watch as well as having fun! To me, it’s not just having someone take a peek and make sure your pet is alright but to make sure they know they have the company and presence of someone so they don’t feel alone or abandoned. Whether I’m taking them for walks or spending a night with them to make sure they’re not lonely, I will always make sure they are having fun, safe, and relay any important information (or cute pics) to you! After all, they’re your family and I wouldn’t treat them any less than that.

It was our first time using a dog sitter for an extended trip and Vanessa made us feel comfortable and our dog safe and happy. We could not be happier and more appreciative of Vanessa. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be requesting her assistance again!”

About: As a supervisor at the Humane Society, I tend to all of the animals in the building and ensure each employee is doing their best to provide humane care for every animal. Working at a shelter requires fast and clear communication, so updates while you’re away will come to you right away. I treat every pet as if they’re my own and do whatever I can to provide them with a safe, stress free and loving experience. I’ve had animals all my life and worked with countless medical and behavioral cases. I’m currently working full time and am available all day on Sundays and Mondays. I’m always available to sit nights. Willing to accommodate scheduling needs upon request. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. As an experienced animal handler, I’m attentive to animal behavior, stress levels, and individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medications, and supervision, while keeping a clean and secure environment at all times. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I can accommodate any needs in a client’s home. My own home is an apartment so boarding services are limited but am willing to take inquiries.

“Izabella was AMAZING! WE BOOKED HER LAST MINUTE TO STAY WITH OUR TWO SMALL DOGS TO KEEP THEM COMPANY ALL DAY WHILE WE WERE OUT EXPLORING AND SHE COULDN’T HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE OF THEM! Two walks, lots of pictures and videos of them playing together kept my mind at ease when they were with someone unfamiliar. They quickly fell in love with her! I’d pay her double for her service if we are ever back in the area. Thank you again so much, Izabella!”

Emily was very communicative and took the time to make sure she was prepared to take care of my dogs before the stay. While I was gone she made sure to update me with photos and videos so I wouldn’t stress. I came home to 2 happy, healthy, and well cared for dogs. So I would definitely recommend Emily!”

About: I am a technical writer, and work from home. I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a dog and have cared for many different pets over the years, including dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and quail. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I treat each one with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d want for my own. My goal is to help your pet-child feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time, and can definitely see if our schedules can work together or closely match. Always willing to meet in the middle for our furry family. I have a fenced in yard, surrounded by oak trees, avocado trees, and lush greenery. My dog loves it, and is always exploring outside safely.

She took him to our Dog park. Capone lives her and so do we. If she’s available and you want your dog safe and happy hire her and you won’t regret it”

About: I work from home and have a passion for animals. I grew up with dogs, cat, and a horse! I have dog sat for several friends and co workers. I love meeting new animals and people, and I would love to hang out with your pets while you're out for the day. I can feed/care for your animals or take them for walks, or just stop by to give them some company mid-day. I work from home so 24/7 pet care can easily be incorporated into my daily routine! I also have a dog park behind my home. I have a fenced yard and I can give your dog lots of attention! I can play with your dog and make and give it constant love and attention

About: I have always had a dog or dogs in my life, and I feel that I always have a good connection with them. If someone would like to know what kind of dog owner am I, they just need to see my relationship with my dog to understand that I respect them and take a good care of them. I have had all kinds of breeds, from a Pomeranian, to a pitbull and a black lab, so I feel I can take care of any type of dogs

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, giving me a natural understanding of their needs. I am the biggest dog lover ever, I would do anything for them. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or offering gentle support to older dogs, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My work is fully remote, so I have more than enough time to properly care for and be with your furry friends. The only times I wouldn’t be available are the times I travel, but other than that, when I am home, I can dedicate most of my time to caring for your pets. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I currently have no permanent pets due to my travel schedule, which is why I’m so excited to care for pets while I’m home. My beautiful, spacious resort-style apartment is incredibly pet-friendly, with plenty of outdoor space to play and explore. With stunning views of a waterfront marina walkway, pets can enjoy peaceful walks and fresh air. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for!

Naomi and her husband did an absolutely, positively AMAZING job taking care of my animals! I honestly couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. I’ll be completely honest — I was very nervous about having someone I found through an app come into my home and take care of my animals. It’s a big thing for me to trust someone with my pets and my personal space, so I had a lot of hesitation at first. But Naomi gave me such a sense of reassurance and comfort from the very beginning. She was so kind, understanding, communicative, and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. They went above and beyond to make sure my animals were happy, comfortable, loved, and having fun. Knowing that they were being treated with so much care while I was away gave me such peace of mind. You can genuinely tell that Naomi and her husband have a true love for animals and treat them like their own. They were respectful of my home, attentive to my animals, and made the entire experience so much easier than I ever expected. I’m honestly so grateful I decided to trust them. They completely changed my perspective on using Rover, and I would absolutely have them take care of my animals again without hesitation. If you’re someone who is nervous about letting a stranger from an app into your home or trusting someone with your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Naomi and her husband. They were wonderful from beginning to end, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my babies! ❤️🐾

She sent me constant photos and updates on my boy and was very thorough throughout the whole process all the way down to how he ate and what he liked to do.

FAQs for House Sitting - Golden Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Golden Beach is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $104 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 October 2026, there are 4,462 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Golden 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 Golden 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 Golden 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 Golden 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
