About: Hi there! My name is Kathleen, and I am a lifelong animal lover! 🐾 I’ve owned and cared for dogs my whole life, including 3 lovable Beagles, a spirited Siberian Husky, a sweet Maltese, and an adorable Dachshund mix. I've also rescued a few cats along the way. I’ve been dog sitting for years, helping out friends and family with their beloved pets, and I’ll treat your furry friends with the same love and care as if they were my own. In addition to pet sitting, I volunteer at Big Dog Rescue and with the Audubon Turtle Rescue 🐢, so I have experience with animals of all kinds. I live in a cozy condo with a backyard, perfect for a bit of outdoor play and fresh air. Your pet will be in safe hands, and I can’t wait to meet them! I’m available for dog sitting and would love to care for your pet! Whether you need someone for daily visits, overnight stays, or just a weekend away, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule. Feel free to reach out to discuss your specific needs and we can make sure your furry friend is well taken care of! Your pet's health and happiness are my top priority! I ensure a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for all the pets I care for. My home is kept tidy, with regular cleaning routines in place to make sure your furry friend has a hygienic space to relax and play. You can rest assured they’ll be well looked after in a loving, clean environment.

Maria did a great job watching Teddy overnight. We had a meet and greet before she spent the night with Teddy. Very responsive and sent several pictures that night and the next day. She can certainly be counted on to take good care of your fur baby.

About: I've always adored animals ever since I was little. Growing up I was surrounded by not only cats and dogs but I also had a bird and chinchilla. From a young age, I was taught the correct ways to care for animals; now I have two dogs of my own. I have experience with watching multiple animals at the same time while providing different care for each animal individually based on what they need. I understand firsthand how important it is to feel comfortable and safe when trusting someone with your animals and I promise that I will provide the best care. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I am currently a student and work part-time, I carefully manage my schedule to ensure I can provide dependable, attentive care. I am committed to being upfront about my availability and only accepting bookings that allow me to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. If my schedule aligns with your needs and it’s a good fit for both of us, I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s well-being and tailor my care to their individual needs, personality, and energy level to ensure they are happy and comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved family member. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

Kathleen was the most wonderful pet sitter ever! Not only did my 2 dogs and cat love her but so did we! She stayed at my house for 2 weeks while we were in Spain and cooked for them and even watered our plants and took care of our house. My babies were so well taken care of and loved! ❤️ I definitely will be using her every time! I recommend you do too!

About: I’m extremely conscientious and caring. I value people’s routines because I also value my own routines. I know how important it is to feel your animal is well taken care of and loved while you’re away. To me it would be an honor to provide that reassurance. I have a flexible schedule. I worked as a medical assistant for over 8 years, primarily caring for geriatric patients. That experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following routines and individualized care plans. I bring that same level of compassion and adaptability to every pet because no two animals are the same. My home is always clean. Water bowls are refreshed daily, meals are served according to each pet’s normal schedule and portion sizes, and litter boxes are kept clean. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I appreciate a written list of your pet’s routine and any house rules so I can provide consistent care and make everything run smoothly.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was very young, always had a knack for it, I feel I’m at my happiest caring for an animal. I feed, play/entertain, walk, and can even bathe them. Nothings too tough for me. I used to have to take care of my old dog, it was hard because she had arthritis so she couldn’t even get up at times to go to the bathroom so I would carry her and even spoon feed her other times(she was a lab). She was an amazing pet and I miss her every day. I can also take care of multiple pets at a time, wether it be a cat and a dog or just dogs or just cats. I am currently working part time at a restaurant as a server while also finishing my bachelors at FAU as a graphic designer. I am available to work almost everyday if my schedule doesn’t allow it I will let you know but I tend to work more during the daytime. I used to have to take care of my old dog, it was hard because she had arthritis so she couldn't get up at times to go to the bathroom so I would carry her and even spoon feed her other times(she was a lab). She was an amazing pet and I miss her every day. I am young and energetic so I love to run around with your pups!

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since i was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’ve always been the one to stay behind on vacations to guarantee everyone’s babies are taken care of. And i love doing so. I am available anytime before 1pm on weekdays as of right now. On the weekends anytime after 3pm. I am available all day wednesday and thursdays. When I care for pets in a client's home, I make sure to stick to their usual routine as much as possible. This means feeding them at their regular times, giving them their medications if needed, and keeping up with their walking and playtime schedules. I also focus on providing plenty of affection and attention, so they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Plus, I keep the home tidy, clean up any pet messes, and send updates as you want and need. And also a daily photo collage at the end of the night to the owners for peace of mind.

Well, our pups have a new Auntie! I can only say that Auntie Evelyn went above and beyond. Not only is she very professional, she is very warm and caring. Evelyn will take extra care and spoil your furbabies. She watched Maggie & Milo in our home, and when we returned back from vacay, our home was cleaner than before we left. I highly recommend Evelyn for all your pet sitting needs. Can't wait to go away again. Thank you and see you soon! Fred & Lisa & Maggie & Milo

About: I’ve dog sat dogs from under 10 lbs to over 100 lbs. I am a Foster Dog Dad for Peggy Adams Animal Rescue. I have fostered dogs for them almost 90 lbs with perfect personalities and healthy to dogs weighing 15 lbs who have issues with marking and three different medications they are taking. I work full-time but I go home for lunch and I’ve brought my dogs that I have fostered to work with me if they have separation anxiety. Play time after work. Going on walks upwards of 2 miles. Lots of fun play time on the weekends. I care for my fosters in my home. They have access to toys and plenty of space to move around. I don’t crate the dogs I’ve fosters. They get treated like a dog would be treated by their owner. Lots of love, attention, and care.

About: I grew up surrounded by pets, learning to love and care for them as a heartfelt way of giving back the unconditional love they always give Being self-employed gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to pet care every day. I can easily adjust my schedule, making sure pets receive consistent walks, play, and companionship and loving attention whenever your pets need it When I care for pets in your home, I carefully follow your instructions so their routine stays the same and they always feel secure. In my own home, pets have lots of space to move freely and a safely enclosed patio where they can enjoy fresh air without any risk of escaping. Most importantly, they are always with me never crated so they get love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I currently care for my own mini dachshund and have experience with both dogs and cats. Through years of pet ownership, I've learned how important it is to provide pets with love, structure, exercise, and a safe environment. I am comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, cleaning up after pets, and maintaining their normal routines. I pay close attention to each pet's individual personality and needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. Even while being a caretaker for my 26-year old special needs sister, I was also taking care of 4 pups and 3 kitties full-time! I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I strive to provide reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention so owners can have peace of mind. I will be taking on a part time job when it becomes needed so I will have plenty of time to give your animals my full attention. Any day of the week at any time, including weekends! My dogs at home enjoy a fenced in yard with a pool and bathroom area. They also go on walks daily to get their exercise in!

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!

This is my fourth time hiring Yanela for overnight stays to watch Rosco (dog) and Bongo (bird) while I'm away on business. There's a reason I keep going back, and there's not enough space to even describe how amazing she is. She's a true animal lover and treats every pet as her own. I just wanted a set of eyes on my pets, but she takes Rosco everywhere! She takes him for walks, goes to parks, watches movies, and takes naps with him in the hammock. Rosco is treated like a spoiled rock star! She constantly sends pics or videos, so you'll always know your pets are in good hands and doing great. She also sends pics when she arrives, when they're fed, and when they're put to bed. I have a housekeeper, so I told Yanela to leave the bed unmade, but she makes it up beautifully and leaves everything spotless. You won't even know she was there. She is perfect beyond belief, and if you hire her one time, you'll understand. If there's anything negative to say, I think Rosco is starting to like her more than me! He's always so thrilled to see his "Aunt Yanela," and that means I can leave with total confidence that everything will be handled with great care. Rosco says "woof," which I think is Chihuahua for "thank you so much for a super fun weekend and taking great care of me!" He's looking forward to seeing her again in April. So, if you just need a sitter, you can probably find many good ones on Rover.com But if you need someone who shines brighter than all, who's super responsible, and who will treat your pets with the utmost care, attention, and love, Yanela is your five-star choice!

FAQs for House Sitting - Golf

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Golf on Rover is $45 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 3,205 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. 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 Golf. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
