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: 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: Let me ease your mind and bring comfort to your pets when you travel! I have experience pet and house sitting for 20+ years in the Louisville, Kentucky, area. For the last 3 years, I have been house sitting full time across the country and in the UK. I am great with dogs and cats. I'm accustomed to watering plants, taking the trash out, and generally keeping a home safe and secure. While I am fairly new to Rover, I can provide references upon request. I also do house and pet sitting through Trusted Housesitters (I only mention that because I have 44+ 5-Star reviews with them ... I've included a couple of screenshots in my photos). Incidentally, if you hire me as a house sitter, the rate includes normal pet care. I turned 67 in February, so your pets will get a lot of my undivided attention, especially if I'm house-sitting for you. I'm pretty much a homebody, though I do very much enjoy walking everyday, especially with canine friends! I will care for your pets in your home in a manner in which they are accustomed. I try to adapt my schedule and routine around theirs as much as possible. I have experience with elderly and special needs pets and can administer medications if needed.

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a Siberian Husky from around age 7 or 8 until I was 18, so caring for dogs has been a big part of my life since childhood. I bring approximately 2–3 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience, including previous experience as a Rover sitter in 2015 and 2019. While living in California, I welcomed dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities into my home. I've cared for a wonderful variety of breeds, including Huskies, Corgis, Labrador Retrievers, Shelties, French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Chihuahuas. I'm comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of caring for dogs, including feeding, daily walks, exercise, playtime, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. Having cared for both energetic breeds and smaller companion dogs, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I believe that great pet care goes beyond simply making sure a dog's basic needs are met. It's about helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to get to know each dog's personality and preferences so I can provide attentive, individualized care. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playful activities, or simply relaxing with some extra attention, my goal is to make their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work during the week, but I have a flexible schedule outside of my regular working hours. I'm available to care for your pets after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, as well as throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. I enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to incorporate walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship into my daily and weekend routine. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while making sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved! I provide every pet with plenty of tender loving care, attention, and companionship! I understand that each pet has its own personality, needs, and daily routine, so I make sure to follow your specific care instructions to keep them happy and comfortable. For dogs, I provide meals at their scheduled feeding times, regular walks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. For cats, I make sure they have fresh food and water, regularly clean their litter boxes, and provide playtime, gentle affection, or quiet companionship depending on their preferences. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your furry companion feels comfortable and well cared for while you're away!

I am not afraid to get dirty and loving with your furball!❤️ I work part time, which leaves me a lot of time to take care of animals especially my own golden retriever. It’s something I already do!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for large breeds, including my own Rottweiler, as well as two cats, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve worked with dogs who have allergies, mobility issues, and sensitive backgrounds, so I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping pets calm, safe, and comfortable. I’m very active and confident handling dogs of all sizes, including strong or high-energy breeds. Daily care is a big part of my routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining consistent schedules. I also have experience preparing specialized meals and following detailed care instructions, including medications when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s routine to keep things stress-free. I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently use a scooter for transportation, so I focus on local bookings and do not offer car transport (such as trips to dog parks that require driving). If preferred, I can have my boyfriend assist for extra support—especially helpful for longer stays or multiple pets—but only with your approval. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks during house sitting, such as keeping things tidy, bringing in mail, or basic upkeep. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a key part of my daily and weekly routine. I walk, feed, groom, and play with my dogs every day, making sure they stay happy and healthy. I also prepare homemade meals tailored to their needs, especially because one has allergies and the other has mobility challenges. With my cats, I give them attention and respect their space. I’m organised and committed to providing consistent, loving care for all pets in my life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s familiar environment. I make sure to provide companionship, feeding, exercise, and any medication as directed. I communicate regularly with the owner to update them on their pet’s wellbeing and any concerns.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and truly understand their unique needs and personalities. I’ve cared for dozens of dogs, from playful puppies to wise seniors, and currently have dogs of my own that I love dearly. This hands-on experience has taught me how to provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each dog’s individual needs—whether it’s training support for puppies or gentle, patient care for senior dogs. My passion for dogs means I treat every furry friend like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my life—I’m available most days and all daytime hours throughout the week. While I work a few night shifts, I make sure my schedule allows plenty of quality time to focus on caring for your pets during the day. I’m flexible and reliable, so your furry friend will always get the attention and care they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. For boarding, I provide a warm, loving environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and regular walks to keep them active and relaxed. During walks, I focus on exercise, exploration, and bathroom breaks, tailoring each walk to your pet’s energy and needs. For drop-ins and house sitting, I maintain your pet’s regular routine—feeding, play, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection—while making sure your home stays secure and clean. My goal is to make every pet feel at ease and cared for just like they would with you.

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!

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.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gulf Stream

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Gulf Stream is $64 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $105 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 November 2026, there are 2,963 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
