“Sally was absolutely amazing with our dog! She was loving, kind and fun! We knew Mack was in good hands with her. He was always safe, well feed & got plenty of walks. She left the house immaculate and has our complete trust.”
“Tara is a wonderful Dog Sitter. She cared for my little Yorkie for 13 days. Ginger looked happy and healthy. She did a great job with her medicine and food. Shave went the extra mile with her. I would highly recommend Tara.”
“Micheal was fantastic from the first point of contact . Communication was excellent before caring for Holly and Kobe and during the time they were in his care. Micheal ensured he had all the information he needed to care for Holly and Kobe . He took the time to get to know them before we went away . Whilst we was on holiday Micheal would send daily updates with photos. We did not have to worry about Holly and Kobe whilst on holiday as we knew they were being well cared for . We had two happy dogs on our return from holiday and they have not sulked with us for the first time for leaving them !”
“This was the second time I had Glenn at my house and I plan on having him every time I need him if he agrees. Glenn is excellent with my dogs and this last time he had to give one of them meds for me. He keeps me informed and always sends pictures. I am very pleased with Glenn.”
About: I have spent that last 6 years on Wag!, another pet-sitting and walking service, caring for cats and dogs while finishing up both college and grad-school. I have taken care of old dogs with special needs, puppies, untrained dogs, homes with up to 6 cats, and homes with both cats and dogs. As for walks, I am well equipped to handle any dog, shape or size! I just got back from Australia, where I worked for 6 months as an animal keeper for gray kangaroos and wallabies. They require intensive exercise and playtime everyday, so I am physically fit to handle large animals (both wild and domesticated!) While in grad school in Boulder Colorado, I volunteered at the Humane Society everyone other weekend to walk dogs, so I am confident I can walk any breed of dog with no issues. I have just finished my Master’s in Environmental Natural Resources and Policy, and am in the process of acquiring a 12-month visa to work at an animal preserve in the Netherlands! In the meantime, I would love to care for your animals, anytime between October-February. I am able at all times of the day. I can house-sit, provide multiple daily walks or drop ins, and care for special needs animals. My parents have their own dogs, so I cannot board any dogs myself. However, I will care for your animals in your home exactly how you expect me to: following the rules and instructions you have set for me. My main priory while in your home is to make sure your space is respected, and your animals are happy. I will make sure to send consistent updates on how your pet is doing :)
“We would highly recommend Rebecca! She took care of our two Bearded collies and sent us updates and photos of their activities making us feel reassured. She took care of our home, putting out the recycling and bringing in the mail and watering the plants. She clearly loves her job and loves dogs. She was professional, punctual and communicated clearly. We would definitely rehire her! What a relief.”
About: Hi there! I'm Mia!✨🩷🎶 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for pups since I was 10, helping family, friends, and neighbors with everything from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs. Currently, I share my home with an incredible senior dog who have been with me since she was 10 months old. With patience, love, and years of experience, I make every walk and sit special. Teaching old dogs new tricks is one of my favorite challenges ;) don’t be surprised if you come home to a dog with a few new skills (and plenty of tail wags) 🤍 As a full-time college student with only virtual classes this semester, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pet’s care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or a study date, your pup will get all the attention they deserve! I've never lived without a dog in my home and currently have my dog Pippi whom I’ve had for 14 years. From running trails with highly energetic dogs to snuggling up with the sleepiest ones for a Gilmore Girls marathon, I’m ready to provide the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation for your pet!
About: I have experience with large breed dogs and can give your pet medicine and lots of walks and play time and I have experience with anxious animals I have plenty of time during the week to care for the pet and spending time with it in the morning and evening I have a part time job right now I care for pets in the clients home not my home and I'm available to sleep at the clients home for 4 days or more
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and owner with a genuine passion for providing dogs with loving, attentive care. My current dog has health issues that require close monitoring, medication, and extra gentle care, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with specialized needs. I also have extensive experience with nervous and anxious dogs and understand the importance of patience, a calm environment, and helping each dog feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care! My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of routines and provide attentive, personalized care. I’m happy to work with your dog’s usual schedule, whether that means walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply keeping them company and helping them feel comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, especially those who may be nervous or need a little extra care, and I’ll do my best to make their day feel as normal and stress-free as possible! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priorities. Whether I’m caring for your dog in the comfort of their own home or hosting them at mine, I’ll do my best to keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel safe and secure. My home offers a fenced-in yard and a quiet neighborhood for a comfortable, relaxing environment. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the same respect, attention, and love I would my own.
About: Hello! My name is Avalon ! Since I can remember Ive owned cats and dogs. My current animals ranging from a 13 year old senior, to a fresh 1 year old frenchie ! Im aware and very cautious with allergies as mine have many . I’ve always loved all animals like they were my own, enjoying every moment of cuddles and play. Im currently part time and new to the Florida area which leaves me with extra time to care for not only my own pets but yours as well ! With a dog friendly car, trips for a walk in the park for new scenery won’t be an issue or local walks around the neighborhood. As I meet new fur friends and family’s I like to do a walking check in all yards to ensure the safety of the pets as they go out to explore . You never know what could come up or what could be found better safe than sorry! Keeping a close eye is my specialty as I treat all animals as my own. I follow careful instructions as you know your pet best !
About: I love pets of all kinds and always have, being able to take care of pets is my dream job. I have been a pet sitter many times over the years and enjoy every minute of it. I am a small business owner who works from home and is mostly free in my schedule and can care for pets most times and days. I have two large sized dogs that I care for daily and am open to caring for large or small pets of all ages and breeds.
“Amber was wonderful! She took great care of my two cats while I was gone for a week. I didn’t have to stress at all about my (sometimes difficult) boys! It is so nice coming home to a clean and happy household! Will rebook with Amber in the future!”
“Brittany is a great dog sitter! She truly loves my fur babies! She is reliable and a great communicator. My dogs never appear stressed when I return home. She is very respectful of our home, as well. Brittany allows us to have some last minute getaways without worry about the safety of our fur babies!”
About: I ALSO OFFER PICKUP & DROP OFF SERVICES! Put it in as a walk and I will adjust prices accordingly:) I’ve been caring for dogs on and off for a few years now, and I absolutely love it! I enjoy playing, cuddling, and going on walks with them — I love all dogs, big or small. I already like to walk on my own, so having a furry friend by my side makes it even better! I’m responsible, efficient, and will keep your home clean and well-kept while you’re away. I can also bathe your dog if needed and help with medications. Your pup will be cared for just like my own! 🐾💛 I like to have a day in advance notice to see how I can fit coming to help out in my schedule. Fortunately I am free a lot right now due to health issues, so I will most likely will be able to make anything you are needing work :) I have my own dog & she’s been with us for 8 years! She’s a small morkey & an absolute sweet heart! I also love to send daily updates/photos of your pups so you can see them thriving while you are away/ on vacation!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hobe Sound is $71 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $101 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,400 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hobe Sound. 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 Hobe Sound 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 Hobe Sound 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 Hobe Sound 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.
