I am so grateful with Marina. She came home on time and was so attentive and took care of Candela as she was me. Experienced with elderly and medically compromised dog. She sent pictures and videos so I was informed about my dog at all times. Candela had a stress free time when I was away. ? Thank you, Marina

About: I have a genuine, deep love for all pets in this world… mine have been the most important part of my life. When my baby kitty Lenny crossed the heavenly rainbow bridge last year, Gideon and Einstein rescued me. My focus is specific and consistent: “What does your best friend need? How can I provide this need to them? Is the environment low stress? Your fur babies are so important to me because I truly understand how important they are to YOU. Having no human children myself, believe me, fur babies are EVERYTHING! I put my absolute best effort into making sure your pet feels safe and experiences the least amount of anxiety as possible. I also assist with Senior day care cleaning, shopping etc. References upon request if needed. I am available to work five days a week and weekends if necessary. I’m grateful to have a flexible schedule; I’ve earned the trust to have access into peoples’ homes to care for their animals. I treat every single animal and pet as if they were my own. I make sure to have every day fulfilled with at least a little bit of furry affection or my day just isn’t the same! I have a pet-friendly, pet-safe, pet-happy home! Making sure all the fur babies in my home have what they need is “what I DO!” My sweet cat Gideon couldn’t get more nurturing! He’s very healthy, independent and gentle with his guests”! My philosophy with my home and my animals is: When in MY care, your baby’s safety, good health, and comfort is guaranteed in the anxiety-free environment I provide. I’m extremely attentive to their individual needs, hands-on, and I work hard at that. Their are no short-cuts, no days off with my animals. I have a closed area to make sure your special DOG 🐶 AND KITTY ARE SAFE AND SECURE.IF YOU REQUEST FOR YOUR BABY TO BE CRATED , ONLY AT YOUR REQUEST.I TAKE CARE OF ONE OR 2 FUR BABIES FOR THE LENGTH OF THEIR STAY.I PROVIDE ONE ON ONE LOVING 🥰 CARE FOR YOUR BABY- BABIES.I WILL NOT MIX FAMILIES.IF YOU PREFER I WILL DO A STAY OVER AT YOUR CONVENIENT HOME 🏠.SAFETY, HEALTH AND COMFORT ARE #1 YOUR FUR BABIES WILL HAVE ACCESS TO ALL MY HOME, I WILL PLAY WITH THEM, GIVE LOTS OF LOVING 🥰 CARE! I PROVIDE THEIR SPECIAL INDIVIDUAL 🥘 FOOD, BRUSH EACH ONE, TREATS IF ALLOWED, LOTS OF LONG OR SHORT WALKS(which ever you instruct, )I HAVE PLENTY OF 🧸 TOYS TO PLAY WITH.ADMINISTER MEDS IF NECESSARY, THEY WILL SLEEP WITH ME IF YOU WISH, OR HAVE THEIR OWN BED. I WILL PAMPER, LOVE 💕 ON THEM, CARESS, I WILL BE WITH THEM AT ALL TIMES, TAKE THEM TO PARKS FOR SOME OUTSIDE 🤩 FUN- DOGGY 🐕 PARKS IF PARENT ALLOWS.YAY 😀 Lots OF PLAYTIME AND FUN 🤩.

About: Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. As a child, I helped care for our family dog through his senior years, learning how important gentle care, patience, and attention are. Since then, I’ve cared for several dogs, including three in my husband’s family, and I currently look after an energetic 85-pound dog, so I’m confident with both large and medium-sized breeds. I’m also an experienced cat lover. My own cat was my constant companion for many years and traveled everywhere with me. That taught me to understand each pet’s unique personality and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I’ll adapt to their needs and routine. Friends often tell me their pets trust me almost immediately, and I love building that special connection with every animal I meet. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family member feels happy, safe, and cared for until you’re home. I work part time for 3 hours 2 times a week in the evening, as well as at home at the computer according to my personal schedule. Every weekday I have an evening workout in the gym for 1.5 hours. On weekends I have no work and only one workout on Saturday. So I can pick up and return your pet in the morning or afternoon until 3-4pm on weekdays, and from 1pm on Sat and any time on Sunday. So I have the opportunity to have a wonderful time and with great pleasure with your pet. I will be glad to help you and get a pleasant pastime with your pet. I have enough space in my apartment and there is a closed backyard, there is a small walking area not far from the house. your pet will be provided with care, attention and love

About: I am full time at home. I grew up with dogs, macaws, parakeets, rabbits, and tortoises. Each animal has its own unique personality just like us humans and I find that fascinating. I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was very young. I would love to spend time with your paw babies. **If you have a high energy pup I can run with your dog** Being home full time, allows me to give your pet all the attention they deserve and need while they are in my care. Having plenty of time and flexibility allows me to give them company, playtime and walks with them. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and two dog parks within a 2 minute walk. As well many grassy areas for them to walk comfortably. I have plenty of indoor space for your pets bedding or crate if needed as well.

About: Hi! I work from home, which means your dog receives plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and supervised care throughout the day. I provide a calm, clean, loving environment and follow each pet’s normal routine closely. I have years of hands-on dog experience, including puppy care, senior dogs, exercise needs, and medication support. I also send regular photo/video updates so you always know your pet is happy and comfortable. Whether your dog needs boarding, daycare, walks, or drop-in visits, I’ll care for them like family. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine since I work from home. I make sure dogs get plenty of breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. With experience training puppies and an 8-year-old Australian Blue Collie of my own who loves making doggy friends, I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and regular breaks throughout the day. I also make sure they get exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of love. If caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and rules closely to ensure your dog feels comfortable and safe in their own environment.

About: I grew up with German Shepherds and Saint Bernards and was responsible for bathing, feeding, and exercising them. I also have experience caring for smaller dogs such as Shih Tzus, Cavalier King Charles, Maltese, Poodles, Goldendoodle, Dachshund, Lhasa Apso, Shiba Inu, French Bulldog, and Corgi. I’m a former middle school teacher. I'm trustworthy, reliable, and I WILL LOVE & CARE FOR YOUR PET AS YOU LOVE & CARE FOR YOUR PET! My services typically include dog walks, doggie day care, and dog boarding. I usually have repeat clients and have ongoing long-term set schedules. I am currently retired so I can devote my full time attention to your pet(s). However, I currently have Tues., Thurs. Fri. and some weekends available. I can only provide services at home for two smaller dogs, preferably from the same family. I have two small, private, fenced-in yards. In addition, I live very close to the Don Soffer walking trail, and the Waterways Marina, all of which have little or no traffic. I have no housemates or personal pets, so I can give your pet my undivided attention.

This is the second time we had Olga to sit Capone and was another great experience. We went to Miami for dinner and not once was concerned about him. The updates kept coming to my phone. 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: $$$$ >>>>I can give you $20 OFF your first booking $$$$$ send me a message to ask me how <<<<<<<< . These are the reasons why you should book with me: 1) I am a very patient and calm person, very emotionally controlled. With me, you can have peace of mind that your baby is being very well treated, no matter what. I do not believe in physically correcting or punishing dogs. 2) I am a very honest person that doesn’t negotiate values and moral. I will always respect you, your home, your pet and follow your instructions thoroughly. 3) I LOVE being around cats and dogs. This is not a job for me, it is more like a hobby, honestly. Your pet will receive a lot of cuddles and kisses (if they like it). I guarantee you and your furbaby will love me! I work from home for my own business so my schedule is 100% flexible, I choose the time I start and finish working everyday based on my client’s dog’s needs. I do not have a fenced yard but I have a big front yard and can take your dog on leash for bathroom breaks. I will always be around and careful with what I have in the house that could cause them harm.

This was my first time using River to house sit my 5 fur babies. I was scared to try it out and to trust someone who I didn't know but Ernesto was such a nice and genuine person not only to me and my family but to all my Doggies as well. He naturally has an aura to animals, and they loved him since day one. Ernesto knew it was my birthday and left me a beautiful detail on the table for me to see when I came back from my trip. Thank you Ernesto for all the love, communication, videos and photos of the doggies throughout the day and giving me peace of mind while I was away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Golden Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Golden Beach on Rover is $49.95 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 4,393 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 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.
