About: I’ve had a a toy poodle my whole life who is literally my best friend we do everything together take car rides. She is back home with my parents due to old age. However she has 3 years of college experience under her belt. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care for pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I can work around my other commitments. I’m dependable, active, and comfortable adjusting my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs. I’m especially happy to provide regular updates, exercise, playtime, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. In a client’s home, I respect their instructions and maintain the pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, walks, medication, bathroom breaks, and companionship\. I also keep the home tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort.

“Michelle’s service goes above and beyond the normal pet sitting duties. She moved around other duties so she could make sure to be available to spend quality time with my dog during her stay at our place. She updates multiple times a day with photos and stories and details, and leaves the house better than she found it. If you are an anxious pet owner when youre away from your baby, she will put you at ease and allow you to enjoy your vacation, easily.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gulf Stream
Taylor was an absolute pleasure to work with and we felt comfortable leaving our 8 year old dog, Hope with her while we traveled. She was attentive and so loving with her, we got regular updates and photos. Hope had also started to feel a little sick a couple of days before our travels and Taylor handled it incredibly well. Sticking to a medical plan, specific diet and regular updates so we could feel comfortable someone was taking excellent care of her. We will more certainly be booking again. Thank you Taylor!
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 $42.18 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 2,976 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.

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.
