“Absolutely the best dog sitter! She took such great care of our zoey! It was such a peace of mind during our daughter’s wedding weekend. We will be using her again!”
“Our dog enjoyed his time with Karen and Steve- so much so I think he was disappointed when we came home! They were so attentive to our dog’s needs and communicated with us throughout the entire weekend we were away. There’s a reason why they have so many great reviews - look no further, Karen and Steve are the best! Will definitely rebook.”
“Once again, Catherine met our need for a last minute drop in visit with Stevie. Quick response and took great care of our girl!!! Will continue to make Catherine our first call!”
“Cheryl provided exceptional care to our two cats. One of the cats has a critical illness that requires daily pills. We asked Cheryl to take care of the cats because we felt better about hiring someone with Cheryl's experience of being a vet tech for many years. We were a little outside of Cheryl's area, but due to the cat's critical need for the medication she said she would do it because that is what would be best for the cat. I knew then that was the right person to take care of my cats. We were hesitant to go on vacation with the cat's illness. The meet and greet with Cheryl put us at ease. The daily updates made us feel even better about making the decision to go on vacation. The write up and pictures showed us the love, care & attention the cats received from Cheryl. She takes great pictures that capture all aspects of the visits. Our favorite pictures were the action pictures of the cats playing with Cheryl. Our other cat is more shy and within two days he was out engaging with her. I recommend Cheryl if you are looking for exceptional care for your pets.”
About: i have been a dog owner my whole life, and currently have chinchillas and a cat! I’m comfortable with all kinds of needs and personalities currently working full time but i make my own schedule. i’m flexible! with enough communication and notice id like to think i could accommodate anybody I am courteous and respectful of everybody’s home and every pets individual needs. communication is key, just let me know! happy to work with anyone :)
About: i have taken care of a lab and a sweet tortie cat throughout my life! i have also walked/fed/sat for several pets, including single dogs and cats, dog and cat combinations, and multiple cats and dogs. I am recently graduated from college and am looking to fill my free time! I currently am working a day-shift job (9:30-6) and am willing to care for animals both before and after those hours. i make sure that the pet feels comfortable (or like it can tolerate) my presence before most activities! a lot of how i care for my animals are very schedule based, usually they even tell me in their own ways when they are ready/want to walk or be fed!
“Andrew is the kind of person you want to find to care for your pets when you are away. professional, caring, personable, realistic about how pets may act with a stranger in their home, but your cats will warm up to him quickly anyway. Andrew asks all the right questions up front; care, feeding habits, daily life, things to keep working on and and things to know. Knowing that i can have a person i can trust and that really cares means i can travel more and that is huge for me. Looking forward to my next trip and knowing i don’t have to worry about my pets bc andrew is checking in on them- if he isn't fully booked. :)”
About: Animals have always been part of my life, and I am currently in a stage where I cannot have my own, so I take care of other peoples for my fix! Spending time with animals bring so much joy and light into my life, I hope I can do the same for them. I am comfortable with dogs in all stages of life. I'm currently working part time at the hospital, and am able to plan out my schedule about a month or two in advance. I am looking for a couple of consistent clients, but if you need help here and there I'm your girl! I treat all animals with respect and love. My highest concern is always the animals safety, I am constantly assessing the situation when I have an animal in my care.
“Briana took excellent care of our diabetic cat! She really went above and beyond, playing with him and giving him affection, and is one of only 2 sitters who have successfully been able to administer insulin injections.”
“I love vacationing but I HATE leaving my cats home alone as they’re both rescues and I’m scared of them feeling abandoned. Sarah somehow managed to get my extremely shy and skiddish cat to come out for pictures, so essentially, she works magic. I came home to two happy cats and felt better about leaving them knowing Sarah took such good care of them!”
“Lori is amazing with Joey—I trust her completely. There are only a handful of people I’d feel comfortable leaving him with, and she’s absolutely one of them. She’s great at communicating how he’s doing, sharing updates on his mood and how the visit went, and always makes sure he gets plenty of love.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was just a kid. You can count on me to make sure that your pup is well cared for and loved while we watch them. I have open availability and will be around. I will communicate with you should I need to step out for a moment for any reason. I have a dog of our own named Cap who is a lab/hound mix and four short hair cats (Anri, Mori, JoJo, and Astora). All of my pets have been fixed. When watching your pets I will ensure their safety and make sure that they are well cared for.
About: I had a dog of my own and have been dog sitting for friends for years. I’m not afraid to give meds and clean up messes. More than happy to help :) Currently, I am working part time at a dispensary and am a traveling hairstylist and need to make more money. I’ve definitely got time to help :) My dog got a daily allergy pill in the morning before his 10min walk. I cleaned his ears once a week … unfortunately, he was prone to ear infections so I had to keep a close eye on them.
“Isabella helped me out on short notice when my typical sitter became unavailable, and she was awesome. Reliable, experienced, friendly, and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, from Siamese cats to Great Danes! Huge lover of the outdoors and animals of all kinds, especially my sweet 13 year old kitty, Cranberry Bog! :) I work in the education field, so I am avaliable after 2:30 every week day, with most weekends open to take care of your special furry friends! I am a huge believer in creating a safe space for all animals and ensuring their comfort while in my care! I will always communicate with pet parents about all steps of the care process & updates! :)
About: I have been working with cats and dogs professionally for over 15 years, including as a full time walker and sitter, as a daycare group leader, as management for a dog walking company, and as a kennel attendant in 4 different boarding facilities. I have managed groups of dogs and trained new daycare employees on dog body language, aggression, and group play safety. I have worked with aggressive dogs, fearful dogs, reactive dogs, as well as puppies, seniors, and dogs with disabilities. Animals are my life and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else! *I am not currently certified in dog first aid/CPR but I have taken the course multiple times. I also have not administered injections to a dog or cat before but I am confident I would be able to perform them with a quick demonstration. I am a full time dog walker and sitter, so all days of the week are available and I am open for the holidays. Send me a message and we will go from there! I will leave your home exactly as I found it or better, I always plan to take out the trash on the last day of a pet sitting job and I will follow your instructions carefully about waste bags and house rules. I understand I am a guest in your space and I always take that seriously!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Higgins Beach is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. 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 948 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Higgins Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Higgins Beach. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
