About: Growing up my family was a cat family so I worked with cats since middle school always taking care of them as a child. Later in the years I would watch over my neighbors dogs and cats and I have been doing that for a little side in high school when the travel for vacation. So I’m a flight attendant and I fly for about three days a week and the the rest of the week I’m free. I can also make my own schedule so I’m very flexible on days and weekends. For my home it’s a gated community and I’m in house with two roommates and in our community there is a mini dog park. For the Clint house I’m respectful I have done other jobs where I would be in the clients home I used to do swimming lessons in the summer by driving to peoples homes.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, and today I share my home with three adopted pups, each with their own personality. One of them is reactive, so I know firsthand how important it is to read a dog’s body language, respect their boundaries, and never push them past their comfort zone. That experience has made me a calmer, more patient, and more observant sitter. What that means for your dog: -I take introductions slowly and let your dog set the pace. -I pay close attention to stress signals and adjust before things escalate. -I’m comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and reactive dogs, not just the easy ones. -I follow your routine, feeding schedule, and any rules you have. As a multi-dog household, I’m used to the daily rhythm of walks, meals, play, and downtime. I’ll send photo and video updates so you know your dog is happy and safe. I’d love to set up a meet and greet so your dog and I can get to know each other. Message me with your dog’s name, age, and any quirks or needs, and I’ll let you know how I can help! I have a flexible schedule and am home during the day, so I can offer midday walks, drop-ins, and last-minute availability. I'm available 7 days a week. I only provide care in my clients’ homes, so your dog stays in their familiar environment and routine. I start with a meet and greet so your dog can get comfortable with me, and I’ll go over their feeding, medication, walking routine, and any house rules or quirks before I start. Safety is my priority on every visit. I keep dogs on a secure leash and well-fitted harness or collar, stay alert to my surroundings, and avoid situations that could be stressful for your dog. Because I have a reactive dog of my own, I’m very aware of body language and keep a safe distance from other dogs when needed. I never leave a dog unattended outside or let them off leash unless you’ve specifically approved it. I’ll always lock up and leave your home exactly as I found it, and I’ll send photo and video updates after each visit so you know how it went. If anything unexpected comes up, like a health concern or a change in behavior, I’ll contact you right away and follow your instructions.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and animal enthusiast, caring for our furry companions has been a passion of mine since childhood. I have dedicated countless hours to understanding the unique needs and behaviors of dogs, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. My goal is to help every pet live their happiest and healthiest life, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where they can thrive. What Sets Me Apart Unwavering Commitment: Caring for pets is not just a job for me; it's a calling. I approach each pet with the same level of dedication and love as if they were my own. My commitment to their well-being is unwavering, and I go above and beyond to ensure their needs are met. Extensive Experience: With a lifetime of experience working with dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of their behaviors, body language, and individual quirks. This knowledge allows me to provide personalized care tailored to each pet's unique personality and requirements. Puppy Training Expertise: While not a professional trainer, I have extensive experience in training puppies. I understand the importance of early socialization, positive reinforcement, and consistent guidance. I can help your furry friend develop good habits and manners from an early age, setting them up for success in their adult life. Reactive Dog Management: I have worked with reactive dogs and understand the challenges they face. With patience, empathy, and techniques, I can help manage their reactions and create a calm, stress-free environment for them. Attention to Detail: I pride myself on being attentive to the smallest details when caring for pets. From monitoring their eating habits and exercise routines to recognizing subtle changes in their behavior, I leave no stone unturned to ensure their well-being. Compassionate Nature: Pets are not just animals to me; they are family members deserving of love, respect, and compassion. I treat each pet with the utmost kindness and gentleness, creating a safe and nurturing environment where they can feel secure and loved. With my extensive experience, specialized skills, and genuine love for animals, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry companions. Whether you need a trustworthy pet sitter, a knowledgeable dog walker, or a dedicated companion for your furry friend, I am committed to ensuring their happiness and well-being every step of the way. Incorporating pet care into my daily routine can be seamless and rewarding since i have the flexibility of studying from home. My schedule is very open and flexible When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, the approach varies depending on the service offered.. Pet Boarding in my home * Provide a safe, secure environment with a fenced yard for playtime and exercise. * Utilize crates if needed for the visiting pet's comfort and safety. * Ensure my resident pets are friendly and properly introduce them to the boarding pet. * Offer plenty of attention, playtime, and socialization for all pets. Dog Walking Services Prioritize the safety and well-being of the client's dog during walks. Maintain control with a secure leash and harness. Plan engaging routes with opportunities for sniffing, exploration, and potty breaks. Provide water and rest stops as needed, especially in warm weather. Capture photos or videos to share with the owner, offering peace of mind. In-Home Pet Sitting Follow the client's instructions for feeding, medication administration, and any special needs. Provide ample playtime, exercise, and affection to keep the pet stimulated and content. Maintain a clean environment by scooping litter boxes and picking up after the pet. Secure the home by locking doors and windows before leaving. Communicate regularly with the owner about the pet's well-being and any concerns. Regardless of the service, my dedication to providing a safe, fun environment and following best practices will ensure exceptional care for every pet entrusted to me.

“Marian was absolutely wonderful!!! She went above and beyond while taking care of Hunter this past weekend. She sent plenty of photos and videos, kept in touch regularly, and made sure I always felt updated and at ease. Hunter can be a bit particular with his schedule — going in and out, changing collars for day and night, etc. — but Marian handled it all perfectly. He was clearly comfortable and happy with her, which says everything! On top of that, she took excellent care of my home, was very respectful, and truly made the whole experience stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Marian — we will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: 🐶 Hi, I’m Denise — Your Pet’s New Favorite Human Animals aren’t just something I care for — they’re part of my world. I’ve lived with dogs, cats, chickens, and even rescue bunnies, and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level. I take my time, let them set the pace, and give them affection, patience, and presence. 💻 I Work From Home — Your Pets Get Full Attention Because I work remotely, I’m home with your pets most of the day. That means: Consistent company and supervision No long stretches alone Plenty of walks, playtime, or lap time Your pet becomes my “co-worker,” and I couldn’t ask for better company. I maintain a flexible schedule for multiple breaks throughout the day and evening. I love long walks, throwing the ball or just cuddles while watching TV. I truly love animals and would treat your precious one as if they were my own.

About: Cared for many types of pets in the past, grew up with cats and dogs, patient and proactive in receiving pertinent pet information in advance. I can be available after 4pm M-Th. Fri-Sat can be more flexible. If needed in the morning M-Th, I would be available until 7:15am the latest due to work and transportation. I make sure to connect with the pets and leave time aside to bond first. If caring for a pet at my house, I make sure to get them familiar with food and restroom. At the client’s house I would speak to the client about any routines already in place and continue to follow accordingly.

Maria was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of our cat, Star, and our home while we were away. She was attentive, dependable, and thoughtful, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind throughout our trip. It was clear that Star was in loving hands. We returned home knowing everything had been well cared for, and we couldn't be more grateful. We would absolutely trust Maria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet and house sitter. Thank you, Maria!

I truly cannot recommend Eduardo enough! If I could give him more than five stars, I absolutely would. I’ve actually been a dog sitter myself for many dogs over the years, so I know what I look for in someone caring for mine. This was my first time leaving my 14-year-old and 4-year-old dogs with someone who wasn’t a friend or family member, and I was also traveling internationally, so I was definitely a little nervous going into it. The second I met Eduardo, though, I immediately felt at ease. My dogs took to him right away, and from the very beginning it was obvious how attentive and detail-oriented he is. He asked thoughtful, specific questions about each dog—their routines, personalities, quirks, preferences, and what makes them comfortable. He genuinely cared about keeping their normal schedule and making their time with him feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Our dogs are relatively easy, but one does have some anxiety, especially during storms, and Eduardo handled him wonderfully. What impressed me most was how well he seemed to understand both of their individual personalities in such a short amount of time. He didn’t just make sure they were fed, walked, and taken care of—he genuinely spent time with them, engaged with them, and made them feel comfortable and loved. And the updates were AMAZING. They were detailed, thoughtful, funny, and came with the best pictures. With every update, I felt like I was getting a little glimpse into their day rather than just receiving the standard “dogs are good!” message. You could genuinely see how happy and relaxed they were in every photo. He picked up on all of their little nuances and personality traits, and somehow managed to capture them perfectly. Even while I was thousands of miles away, I still felt completely connected to what they were doing and how they were feeling. Funny enough, my husband and I were on two separate trips that weekend, and both of our groups had friends who also had dogs at home with pet sitters. We were each sharing Eduardo’s updates with our respective groups, and EVERYONE was blown away by him—especially compared with the updates they were receiving from their own sitters! By the end of the weekend, Eduardo had basically developed a fan club of people who had never even met him. 😂 He was also incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to everything exactly as we had left it and, most importantly, to two very happy, relaxed dogs who clearly had an amazing weekend themselves. There is such a huge difference between finding someone who will simply take care of your pets and finding someone who makes you feel completely comfortable being away from them. Eduardo is absolutely the latter. The peace of mind he gave us was invaluable, and I never once worried about whether our dogs were safe, happy, or getting enough attention. I would recommend Eduardo 100 times over. He is attentive, trustworthy, communicative, responsible, kind, and clearly genuinely loves the animals he cares for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him and will absolutely be booking him again. Anyone who gets Eduardo as their sitter—and any pet who gets to spend time with him—is incredibly lucky!

She also did a great job giving love to my cats who did drive by visits with her throughout the stay.

Erika was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. She stayed with them at my apartment for several days. My Lhasa Apso is a subborn pain in the butt that isn’t comfortable with being left with strangers. But Erica won him over!! My other baby is a pug mix with diabetes. She lost her site due to the diabetes as well. She gets insulin injections twice per day along with a couple diff eye drops. It’s crucial that she gets her medication’s at exactly 12 hours apart every single day. She can’t be late and she can’t miss a dosage. She made sure to stay on top of it every single day. She sent me pictures and videos several times a day. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my babies than Erika. I have been in Florida for 5 1/2 years and I finally found someone to take care of them when I want to leave to see my kids out of state and not feel stressed or worried about their care 💕🙌 I highly recommend

Shay was a pleasure to meet. Very personable and friendly from the moment I met her. I have two dogs that can be a bit timid, and nervous with new people. She has a nice calming spirit about her and they both took to her quickly. I appreciate all the pictures and detailed updates she sent. She left the house, looking great and emptied the trash and made sure the boys had water. Everything was perfect! I will definitely book with her again whenever she’s available. She was very responsive from when I first contacted her through the whole booking. Thank you the boys loved you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Golf

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Golf is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $68 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 3,150 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Golf. 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 Golf 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 Golf 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 Golf 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.

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.

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 .

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.
