About: My family recently lost our two beloved dogs at the ages of 14 and 15. While we aren't ready to adopt a new pet just yet, we deeply miss the companionship of animals. To fill that void and share our love for pets, I have decided to offer pet sitting services in our home. Both of our dogs had special needs towards the end of their lives, and we went above and beyond to ensure their comfort and happiness. This experience has instilled a deep understanding of animal care and a commitment to providing the highest quality of care to our clients' furry friends.

When I start working I can keep your pet in my home office for companionship or leave alone for an afternoon slumber. Throughout the day, I maintain flexibility for quick check-ins, for the pet owner and pet. Evenings are dedicated to dinner, playtime, and snuggles with the pets before their bedtime routines. This schedule prioritizes the needs of the pet while maintaining a productive work environment for me. I can adjust this schedule on request to accommodate the specific needs of each pet, ensuring they receive adequate exercise, stimulation, and attention throughout the day Pets will be treated as family members in our smoke-free, pet-free home. I will deliver attentive care, including regular feeding, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I will prioritize their comfort and safety, ensuring a loving and stress-free environment.

“I am absolutely thrilled with the outstanding dog sitting service provided by Alix for our three Pomeranians! From the moment we left until our return, Alix demonstrated a level of care, responsibility, and genuine affection that surpassed all expectations. Alix not only ensured our dogs were well-fed and exercised but also took the time to send regular updates and adorable pictures, which kept us at ease throughout our time away. The attention to detail, including securing the dogs in their original cages, speaks volumes about Alix's commitment to their safety and well-being. We returned to happy and healthy pups, a testament to the exceptional care they received. Alix's professionalism, communication, and obvious love for animals make her an absolute gem. We are immensely grateful for her dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Alix, for going above and beyond – you are truly the best.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I have 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for animals, from my own pets and family pets to working in the pet industry. I’ve cared for many different kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, and bunnies, and I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, quirks, and way of communicating. I really enjoy taking the time to get to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. My experience also includes pet sitting, dog walking, boarding, training, enrichment, and learning about pet nutrition and everyday animal care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and household preferences. I’ve also worked with pets who need a little extra patience or understanding, and I believe the best care comes from paying attention to the little things—whether that's recognizing when a shy pet needs space, giving an energetic dog plenty of play and exercise, or simply keeping a nervous animal company. Most importantly, I don't see pet care as simply a job. I genuinely love animals, and I want every pet I care for to feel like they're spending time with someone who truly enjoys being around them. 🐶🐱🐰🐠🦜🐍💕 I’m available Monday–Friday from 5:00 PM–11:45 PM, with open availability on weekends from 10:00 AM–11:45 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can be flexible when possible. 😊 Whether your pet needs an evening visit, a late-night check-in, or weekend care, I’d love to help! 🐶🐱💕 I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions before their care begins. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and keep their environment clean, secure, and comfortable. I make sure doors, gates, and other areas are safely secured, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and stay attentive to their behavior and surroundings. When caring for pets in my own environment, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised space where their safety and comfort come first. I never assume every pet has the same needs, so I adjust my approach to each individual animal. I also believe communication is a big part of trust. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕
“Suzanne was a lifesaver and helped us with a last minute request. She was responsive and quick to help. We did house sitting with Suzanne and it was a smooth process and Josie warmed up to her which is fantastic. Thank you and we look forward to working with you again!!”
About: Hi!! For my whole life I have always had a dog, Shih-tuzs mainly, however I have been around and taken care of various dogs all the way from Dachshunds to Pitbulls and of all ages as well! I love dogs and am very patient with walks, special necessities and more. I would love to meet and take care of all of your little fur babies 🐾❤️ I am currently a college student with classes 2 days a week, I am fairly active so I would love to go on walks and play while at home or at a dog park.

However when taking care of pets at a clients home I am very respectful of all rules and boundaries, I am open to all conversation in order for everyone to feel comfortable. I will take amazing care of your pet and all of his/ her needs!
“Ida house/dog sat for us while we were away on vacation for a week. During our trip Ida sent updates on Lily and even alerted us that she had been itching (she has allergies). We had allergy medicine for her at the house and since Ida was staying there she was able to start Lily on the meds right away. This was a huge plus! When we got home the plants had been watered, the house was clean and the mail was in a neat pile on the counter. But most importantly Lily was happy and acting like herself. She seemed to love being in her own home while we were away. Ida did a GREAT job and we will definitely use her again!”

“David was great with our two large golden doodles! He was patient when learning their medicines and their walking routines. He walked them and exercised them as we asked. We received photo and video updates as well which were greatly appreciated. We will use David again in the future!”
About: Returning to Rover after a 4 year hiatus after the loss of my fiancee. Together we had a one-eye Pekingese, Sammy. Before Sammy I had a cat, Taz, for all his 15 years before he passed away from CHF. I also grew up in a house full of German Shepherds! There were even cows at one point! Happy to take pups on walks or drop-in on your fur baby to give potty breaks/change litter, give medications, and feeding. Hope to hear from you soon!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gulf Stream
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!
Maryann was absolutely great! She helped out a very little notice, was extremely flexible, listened and implemented our instructions, sent us lots of pictures and most importantly treated our doggie as if it was her own. Maryann will be our forever “go to” sitter
Jane was absolutely phenomenal, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment we left for vacation, she kept in touch with us every single day, sending pictures and videos that gave us so much comfort and peace of mind. Our dog, Piper, is a very special girl and takes a few daily medications. Jane was incredibly attentive and made sure Piper stayed on her regular schedule the entire time. Knowing that Piper was receiving such loving, responsible care allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. Not only did she take amazing care of Piper, but she also kept our home clean and treated everything with respect. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, professional, reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We are so grateful for everything Jane did. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl and giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our time away. We will absolutely be booking with her again
Antonette did an amazing job caring for my 2 cats and 2 dogs. Communication was excellent with quick updates, photos, and always easy to reach. You can tell she genuinely cares and my pets were relaxed and happy when I got back. She’s reliable, attentive, and very trustworthy. I’d absolutely book again!
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!
Carolina was amazing with my girl Tikka! My cat is a true Velcro kitty and Carolina embraced it and spent so much time with Tikka, giving her all the attention, cuddles, and play time she needed while I was away. So happy to have found an amazing and reliable cat sitter! Carolina is super responsive, sent lots of pics and updates, and left the apartment in the great condition. Can’t wait to book again for my next trip away!
Kelly is an amazing dog sitter. This is the second time I’ve used her for overnight stays, and she continues to do a fantastic job. She keeps in touch consistently, sends updates, and I genuinely feel that she cares about my dog. I always feel confident leaving him in her care. I’m also very grateful for how helpful and accommodating she has been whenever I’ve needed support. I highly recommend Kelly
Rebecca was amazing with our frenchie Mika! She sent so many pictures and updates which made us feel so comfortable while away. We also had some travel issues getting home and she was very flexible and helpful on that final day! We look forward to using her again sometime!
Anaelle is a beautiful (inside and out), nurturing, patient, and hard working caregiver. She is super generous with her time and talents. She charmed our grow quirky dogs — including a special needs elderly dog with dementia and organ failure plus her high-energy, noisy young dog friend. Our home was cleaner than when I left and our dogs were happy with no stress upon return. For a Thanksgiving weekend with no worries and regular updates, Anaelle’s care was one more thing to be grateful for. Obviously, we will be using her services again!
Lauren was absolutely amazing! She stayed for a long weekend to look after our pup. She took great care of our dog, communicated throughout the stay with photos and videos, and left our house spotless! We definitely will be booking with her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gulf Stream
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gulf Stream on Rover is $39.47 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,974 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gulf Stream. 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 Gulf Stream 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 Gulf Stream 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 Gulf Stream 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 Gulf Stream. 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.
