“We were very pleased with Rowan caring for Charlie. She stayed in our home and watched our elderly pup while we traveled for a week. She was able to follow his specific needs and everything went smoothly. Our home was immaculate and Charlie was happy when we returned.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. By the time I was 16, I had nine cats in my home, which gave me plenty of hands-on experience caring for multiple pets and understanding their individual needs. For the past 2.5 years, I’ve also been raising and caring for a special-needs dog, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, attentiveness, and providing extra care when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I would treat your pets like my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care! I work from 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m available to care for pets outside of those hours. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love before and after work. I can also discuss availability on weekends and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s schedule and individual needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I have lifelong experience caring for cats and dogs, including raising a special-needs dog, so I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet’s specific needs and routines. I’m happy to care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’ll always treat your home with respect and your pets like my own!
“Sara was fantastic! She was responsible, responsive and very prompt with her communication. Both dogs were very comfortable with her - even our picky boy Tucker! We would recommend her and plan on hiring her again.”
“Ekaterina is a wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with my frenchie while I was out of town and gave him great love and care. She sent many pictures and updates and was great with communication. I will book with her again.”
“Stephanie went above and beyond. My baby girl was in the best hands. She was happy in her daily pictures and loved having Stephanie take care of her. Stephanie is a God sent and I'm so gracious to her for her outstanding care of my Chihuahua and Jack Terrier mix. We are definitely looking forward to having Stephanie back in our home regularly. 💕 🐕🦺💜🏘️🫶”
“Marian was absolutely wonderful!!! She went above and beyond while taking care of Hunter this past weekend. She sent plenty of photos and videos, kept in touch regularly, and made sure I always felt updated and at ease. Hunter can be a bit particular with his schedule — going in and out, changing collars for day and night, etc. — but Marian handled it all perfectly. He was clearly comfortable and happy with her, which says everything! On top of that, she took excellent care of my home, was very respectful, and truly made the whole experience stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Marian — we will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have been around dogs and all animals my whole life. I am very patient, understanding, and loving and it’s my dream to be able to work with animals while supporting myself. Pet care is something I love to do, I can work with puppies or older dogs aswell. As someone who loves a flexible schedule and good work/life balance. Pet care easily falls into my daily routine and helps me have a flexible work schedule. I have owned pets my whole life and care for them with all my heart. My number 1 priority is safety and health, and my 2nd is making sure they are comfortable and loved in the short time I am with them!
“Lucy was amazing house sitting with our French Bulldog, Eden. You can tell right away that she's great with animals, but she's also the most genuine, caring, enthusiastic, and honest person you'll ever meet. Her communication couldn't have been any better and she sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Eden (and all of us) will miss her until we return to Fort Lauderdale.”
About: My love for animals goes beyond simply caring for them; it comes from the heart! Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for friends’ pets and helping families with their furry companions. I also volunteered at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, which strengthened my appreciation for animal care and wildlife conservation. What sets me apart is the love, patience, and personal attention I give every animal. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra cuddles, I always follow your instructions and your dog's routine carefully. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup feels happy and cared for. I treat every animal with the same kindness and affection I would want for my own! My flexible work schedule allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the day! I work only 10 minutes from home, which allows me to visit pets during my lunch break, and I finish work early in the afternoon, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. I’m also available on weekends since I don’t work Saturdays or Sundays. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and provide loving, reliable care whenever your furry family members need me! I provide loving, attentive care both in your home and mine. I follow each pet’s routine, provide fresh food and water, keep their spaces clean, and give them plenty of love and attention. Caring for pets in their own homes allows them to stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also have a spacious apartment in a pet-friendly community with plenty of outdoor space for walks and playtime. Wherever they are, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved like family!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I have also always been the go-to dog sitter for all of my friends and family. I have a lot of experience with overnight stays and dog walking. I love to play and comfort the animals I work with. I am very trustworthy and punctual and can promise safe care for your furry babies! I am currently a full time student with a part time nanny job. My classes are staggered during the day so I would be able to pop in for dog walking or letting them outside. I could also overnight dog/cat sit! I treat every pet like my own. I also understand that you’re leaving a piece of you at home when you go away. I always make sure to send lots of pictures and updates so you don’t feel like you’re missing a thing!
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.

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.

“She watched my baby Blair and was so calm, sweet, and patient with her! Blair is shy and scared of pretty much everything, so I really appreciated how gentle and easygoing she was.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Beach
Five stars aren't enough for Victoria! I have such great luck with Rover, but my regular pet sitter was booked, so I found myself scrambling to find someone at the last minute. I went back to Rover, and Victoria responded immediately--and I couldn't have been luckier! From goldfish to golden retrievers, she has a special way with animals, and Bongo, my mini macaw, was in wonderful hands while I was away. Victoria was absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! She was responsible, dependable, arrived on time, and sent photos and updates throughout the day. It was reassuring to know that Bongo was getting so much attention and affection. It's obvious that Victoria genuinely loves animals, and they love her right back. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, look no further. From fur to feathers to fins, Victoria knows how to make every pet feel like a VIP! And as if all that weren't enough, Victoria took wonderful care of my home, too. The house was spotless, the bed was made, and there wasn't a trace she'd even been there. If it weren't for the photos, I might have thought Bongo had been taking care of himself! Bongo gives her two wings up--and I'd give her six stars if I could : )
She watched my baby Blair and was so calm, sweet, and patient with her! Blair is shy and scared of pretty much everything, so I really appreciated how gentle and easygoing she was. She even stayed longer with my baby! I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her. She’s amazing!! LOVE YOU MAYA ❤️
Tori was absolutely wonderful! She was professional, kind, and provided me with daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while she was watching my fur babies. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my animals and treated them like her own. Every picture she sent, they looked so happy and were even smiling! I would definitely book with Tori again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.
We were very pleased with Rowan caring for Charlie. She stayed in our home and watched our elderly pup while we traveled for a week. She was able to follow his specific needs and everything went smoothly. Our home was immaculate and Charlie was happy when we returned.
Nicolette was wonderful! She stayed in great communication throughout her stay, followed all of our instructions, and took such good care of our pets and our home. We came back to happy pets and a clean house, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re incredibly grateful for her help and would absolutely appreciate having her stay with our pets again!
I highly recommend London's dog-sitting services. My dog fell in love with London within seconds of meeting her—it truly was love at first sight. From the very beginning, it was obvious how deeply she cares for animals. She has a calm, gentle manner that immediately put our dog at ease, whether she was playing with him, taking him for walks, or simply spending time with him. While we were away, London kept us updated with thoughtful text messages and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. She took the initiative to learn every detail about our dog's routine and care, followed all of our instructions carefully, and went above and beyond by meeting with us before our trip to ensure everything would go smoothly. We returned home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend London to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter.
Christopher did a great job taking care of my two babies! One of my dogs was having a medical issue while I was gone and Christopher promptly notified me of his condition. He was willing to take him to the vet, if necessary. Fortunately, it wasn’t necessary and everything turned out ok. Then, my delayed flight caused a missed flight and Christopher was flexible and willing to stay longer to accommodate the situation. He was great with providing me with detailed updates on how they were doing each day I was gone. My dogs were well taken care of and happy when I got home. My house was left clean and he even put my garbage on the curb on trash pickup day. I would not hesitate to have Christopher take care of my fur babies in the future!
I had a wonderful experience with Anna! She took great care of my older dog, Holden, and my home while I was away. She was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. It was clear she was kind, patient, and genuinely sweet with Holden. I came home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home. I would definitely book with her again!
Stella recently stayed with Presley for the third time, and once again she did a wonderful job. She is reliable, responsible, and consistently provides excellent care. Communication was great throughout the stay, and I especially appreciated the daily updates and reports that gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I returned home, the house was neat and well cared for, and most importantly, Presley was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It’s such a relief to have a sitter I can trust completely. I highly recommend Stella to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional pet sitter.

The average cost of House Sitting in Highland Beach is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $94 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.

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 Highland Beach 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 Highland Beach 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 Highland Beach 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
