“There could not be a better dog sitter. Even through the 28 inches of snow, my dogs were cared for and Travis ensured they could go to the restroom by shoveling snow. Beyond grateful!”
“Stacy was great! She was on time for everything and met all their needs! My dogs loved her. Stacy is very pleasant and easy to talk to. I would recommend Stacy any time!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Currently, we have two cats, which is easier with our sports schedule, but I miss having a dog to walk. So, I thought I'd see if you needed help with yours. I'm working part-time and own a business. Both provide me flexibility to be there when your dog needs me. My kids are old enough for me to be gone for short stints. Prefer walking schedules during, morning, afternoon, or late evening as those provide me the best opportunity to give your pets the attention they deserve. Experience walking dogs with leash aggression. Can typically recognize it in your dog or the dogs we are approaching. Will always keep animals leashed in public.
“Absolutely wonderful dog sitters. Our dogs were comfortable with them from the start. They ensured the best care of our home as well. Even watering our flowers. Would recommend this couple any time!”
“I have 2 small dogs. I was gone for a long weekend and had her come in 3-4 times a day to let the dogs out, feed them and play with them. Bri was great with the dogs. They liked her from the 1st time she came for a meet and greet. I will defiantly use her again”
“Mariah did an excellent job taking care of my 3 babies. She paid extra attention to my senior Springer who needs meds 3 times a day. She's a very empathetic pet sitter, and great communication!”
“LOVE HER!!!! She did an amazing job! The house was in perfect shape when we got home and all pets were happy and wonderful. She sent photos of the dogs every day and clearly cuddles were no issues. We met before I booked and Becca is just a genuinely sweet and amazing soul. I was nervous to use the app for the first time but she put all concerns to rest. I will request Becca every time we need a house and dog sitter. She is extremely trustworthy and wonderful. THANK YOU BECCA!”
“Sasha was great with communication and photos of our pups while we were away. She left the house very clean and even grabbed the mail and a few packages for us. Our dogs were very happy to see us when we got home, and it’s obvious they were well taken care of. I would highly recommend Sasha as a pet/house sitter.”
About: My pet experience includes a lifetime with both cats and dogs. I have over 25 years experience with pets of all ages and capabilities. I’ve had medically complex and fragile animals for years as well, and am honored to help with yours. Hi I’m Emmie and I currently run my own vintage business with my wife. We are completely flexible with our time and look forward to being a part of yours! I have dealt with medically complex animals as well as aggressive animals. I’m confident in my experience and abilities that your pets safety is the utmost priority with me!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my childhood. In the past two ish years I’ve watched some family members dogs. And for a little over a year I had two cats with my roommate. I don’t have skills I’m just here for a good time lol. The weekends I have available I’ll be free for the most part. Maybe some volunteering for a max of 4 hours but that’s it. Other request I’d have to see based off my work schedule. I would do everything instructed of me. Feed at scheduled time (or make sure there is food in the bowl). Fresh water every day. Try to play outside depending on weather.
“Jenna did great with all 7 of my animals- including a medically needy dog that needed monitor with food/water intake/and medications. Jenna kept the house clean, helped with extra stuff, as well as dealt with house malfunctions. Will definitely use and recommend Jenna to care for your animal needs.”
About: Have taken care of animals all my life! Grew up with ferrets and cats. Also use to dog walk when in middle school :) I have two dogs, a bearded dragon and 3 ferrets! I have raised rats, leopard geckos, and guinea pigs. I have experience in both puppies and senior dogs. Stay at home mom! Will follow all of your personal care instructions for your pet. Will take for walks, fed, and get energy burned and potty needs taken care of :) I am a work from home mom, so I am always home while In home boarding. I am free evenings and weekends as well. During the day throughout the week I am able to step out some times however may have a kid in tow. In my home, I have a fully fenced in back yard, and offer a safe and secure home. Dogs are supervised at all times or kenneled when not around. In your home, I will follow all care instructions.
About: I’m the type of person who goes to a party and makes friends with the dog. My friends know I’m around when they see a blanket covering up their sleeping pup. My family has nicknamed me dog girl because I take on the challenge of caring for all of them during family functions. I have experience with dogs who need medication, eye drops, ear drops, or who have health issues. I work from home so I am able to hangout with your pet all day! I have a very flexible work schedule if appointments are needed. I prefer to care for dogs in my home but can watch in your home, let out during the day, and check on your home if away. At my home I leash all pets when letting them out. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, I even have a chair next to my work desk incase they want to lounge around on the job.
About: I've had pets since I was very little (including exotics) and currently have 3 cats. I am a veterinary assistant so I am able to administer medications and pay close attention to your pets health and behavior! I am currently working full time but have fixed hours (off on Thursdays and weekends) from 7am to 5-6pm. I am available at any time that I am not working. In the past I have done pet sitting for both cat and dog owners and used to work at a daycare. For dogs I make sure they are fed, medicated and watered first thing in the morning, then take them for a walk. I will clean anything that needs to be freshened up and play with the dog throughout the day and repeat at night. For cats it's relatively the same excluding the walk and I will clean the litter box twice daily to make sure it is always clean.
About: I have been a dedicated animal lover my entire life. I understand that leaving your pets behind is difficult, which is why I make it my mission to minimize their stress. I treat every dog as if they were my own by providing them a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment. Whether it is an overnight house sitting, daytime drop-ins, or energizing dog walks, I tailor every visit to your pet’s routine, ensuring their comfort, happiness, and your total peace of mind. I am currently working part-time, which will ensure that I have plenty of time to play and take care of all of your dogs' needs. Choosing the right pet sitter is about trust. Here is why pet parents choose me to care for their furry family members: Reliability & Communication: I provide regular updates and prompt communication so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. Safety-First Mentality: I am highly observant of dog body language and ensure safe leashing and a calm environment. Tailored Care: Whether your dog is a high-energy puppy who loves long walks or a senior who prefers quiet drop-ins, I strictly follow your routines.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
