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.
About: I have relocated to Boyton Beach Florida! I am a mature, responsible person that worries about my own dog and cats care. I have 1 dog and 2 cats. I am not working so I am available pretty much anytime for help with your fur babies. I also can take care of your cats (or other small animals, no spiders or snakes please) feed, play, clean the litter type of stuff. I can administer medication (I had a basset hound that lived for 15 years that had severe allergies and needed allergy shots weekly). I can also check on your home, bring in mail and such. I am semi-retired after working at a hospital for 39 years. I am available pretty much anytime. Even late nights, early mornings.******* ******** ***** **** At this time I am not able to do stay in my house visits. Dont have enough room for that. xxxx xxx xxx xxx xxx
About: I’ve taken care of my daughters dogs when they travel and I really like enjoy doing it. We have a good connection I love playing and feeding them. I am an energetic person who is very active in my free time, I love going on walks, exploring new areas and making new furry friends! I am very flexible as I am retired and can arrange my schedule to fit your needs. I make sure they are safe at all times. I monitor them for any behavioral changes, ensure there is nothing harmful in their vicinity, and just overall make sure the pet is relaxed and happy. I would never leave a pet in a distressed state.
“Could not have asked for a better dog sitter. It’s obvious she loves dogs and she took such good care of my Burna doodle. The house was spotless. She communicates every day with pictures of the dog. She did everything better than me probably and that’s a hard Follow.”
“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!!”
“Our pets seem to enjoy Maria being there she was extremely neat. I’ve found the houses in the same condition that I left it. Re-thoroughly enjoyed working with her, and we definitely use her again.”
“Kathy was amazing taking care of dog Eve for a long weekend. There were some last minute challenges thrown in the mix with Eve getting sick and needing to receive medications while I was away and Kathy’s experience was a game changer for easing my mind while away. She also did a great job giving love to my cats who did drive by visits with her throughout the stay. I would highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a seasoned animal lover who will send updates and pictures daily.”
“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!”

I focus on keeping dogs safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routine and needs. I currently work Monday through Friday from 9–5, but I am fully available on weekends. From Saturday to Sunday, I can provide 24-hour care, check-ins, and plenty of attention for your dog I live in an apartment with designated areas for play and a clean space . My home is safe, calm, and cat-friendly. My apartment community also has an animal park, which is great for supervised outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free.
“Jessica is a great communicator and sends lots of photos of the pets while she is pet sitting. I feel my pets are in great hands when she is pet sitting which helps me relax while on vacation. :)”
About: I have been in the pet care service industry as a dog groomer for 8 years. I have owned and operated an In-Home dog grooming business since 2019, licensed, insured, and certified (if you’re interested I still offer these services). I have also worked in a vet clinic. My love for dogs is endless and I hope I can continue building my career and relationships with current and new fur-babies. If you have any questions please do not hesitate as I am very well educated when it comes to your four legged children. 🐶❤️ I am a full-time dog groomer and entrepreneur, my schedule can be fairly flexible although it mainly revolves around appointment requests. Just let me know times and days and I will get back to you ASAP if I can make it happen. I will love and care for your pet as if they are my own. I have taken care of tens of thousands of dogs in my career, rest assured your pet is safe with me.
“Maryann was terrific- will definitely call for her again- our 15 year old Havanese/Bichon was loved and well cared for. We were nervous about leaving him with someone he did not know but i will have no future worries. Maryann left our home in perfectly clean condition- i give her an A+??”
“Mackenzie is an amazing dog sitter! She was super communicative, flexible, and made sure our 3 very needy dogs got all the love they require. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’m a full-time medical student/worker who is looking to make some extra money to help with expenses. An I’ve always said if the doctor stuff doesn’t workout, I’m going to work with animals. I’ve taken care of cats, rabbits, birds, and hamsters. Our family never owned a dog but I’ve had Roomates with them which is basically the same thing. I’ve lived with and taken care of Pitbulls, Hunting Dogs, and even little fur chickens. All animals are great and it’s on us caretakers to connect and treat them well. I work full-time so I can only do evenings and weekends. Again this is something I’m trying to do on the side just to make some extra money. You can expect a well mannered, educated, and respectful individual into your home and to care for your loved one(s). You know your pet better than anyone else. I get along with all animals but understand they’re all different. They not too different from us so I will treat them with the same respect and will head any guidance that uour offer.
“Raven was so great! This was my first time using Rover and she made it so easy. She was great with my Charlie and I couldn’t be more grateful. I will definitely keep booking with Raven! :)”
About: I have always had dogs growing up. I am my friend’s go-to pet sitter. I foster occasionally for Peggy Adam’s and Big Dog Ranch. Dogs > humans forever Working remotely, I have a very flexible schedule. I also live on a beach where I can take doggos. I go to the gym where I am gone a max of 2 hours, but other than that I’m around to best care for your animal. I can care for your pet both in my home or yours, whichever you prefer. I have a love and passion for dogs and I will do anything to be in good company 🐶
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gulf Stream is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gulf Stream
10/10 We loved having Taylor over while we were out of state. Before we left, she coordinated a meet/greet with our 2 pets, before our (5) day trip. We knew we made the best choice with her care. It was especially heartwarming to receive daily updates with pics/videos while we were away! Our pets are normally not around other people, and very skiddish - but they instantly warmed up to Taylor. We could tell with their behavior in the daily updates how genuinely comfortable they were with Taylor. Taylor genuinely cared about a peace of mind trip for us, and gave the pets a stress free environment while we were away. Book Taylor for your pet care!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gulf Stream. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
