“Janine did a great job of caring for Lily and she spoiled her with many walks to her favorite park! She communicated well with me and my house wa in great shape when I came home.”
“Megan is amazing! She sends us photos and updates every day which helps when you're missing your furbabies. She is very dependable and trustworthy. We have a senior dog who takes daily meds and Megan is exceptional with ensuring she gets her meds on schedule. This is our 2nd time using Megan and we'll definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I’ve primarily cared for cats and am very comfortable with their routines, temperaments, and special needs. I also have experience with dogs and enjoy walks and playtime. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like my own. I work full time as an elementary school teacher. I’m available weekdays after 3 PM and anytime on weekends. I have full availability during school breaks and holidays. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for all pets in my care. I’m attentive to their needs, follow routines closely, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I communicate regularly so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
About: I have cared for animals throughout my life, including dogs, cats, and horses, and understand every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive and take the time needed to let each animal get comfortable with me at their own pace. I have cared for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities from rescues to pedigrees, Lab/Pit mixes to Great Danes, as well as horses, beginning in my high school years and currently volunteer at a local horse rescue. What sets me apart is the interest I show in them. Recently, I was at the gym when a little dog came over and immediately sat down with his back to me and happily accepted some pets. When he looked up at me, he seemed to be saying, “Thank you for the pets! I have your back while you do this machine.” 😊Aww When I meet 2 dogs at the same household, one is usually more outgoing. I always make sure to pay equal attention to both, maybe the quieter one a little more. Animals can sense when someone genuinely enjoys being around them, even if some take a little longer than others. My availability is flexible, semi-retired, working remotely part-time allowing me to be available. I’m happy to work with your schedule and, when I can accommodate it, I’m also available for last-minute requests. I enjoy being able to give pets the attention and care they need while their people are away. I also understand life happens and planning is sometimes last minute at best. The safety and comfort of your pet is always my first priority. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, while paying attention to their behavior and surroundings. I make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, and I never assume a pet is comfortable with something simply because another pet is. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own home. I keep things clean and orderly, and I make sure your pet has a safe, comfortable environment while you are away. I also believe communication is important. I want you to feel connected to your pet while you are away, so I’m happy to send updates and photos and let you know how they are doing. If I notice anything unusual with your pet or in your home, I will let you know. I will be taking a Pet CPR & First Aid class in October in Boyton Beach. I'll learn the most up to date protocols in pet CPR, choking, rescue breathing, bleeding, snout to tail assessments, dental, pet care, first aid and more. I’m taking this class so I can be as prepared as possible to care for your pets and respond in an emergency.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, especially dogs and cats, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’m new to pet sitting, but I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I recently started pet sitting as a side hustle while I work toward one of my biggest goals: saving for my own home. I’m excited to turn something I love into an opportunity to reach that goal while helping other pet owners feel comfortable. I work full-time as an Ultrasound Tech during the week, so I’m available for afternoon/evening walks and overnight stays. I have a very open and flexible schedule on weekends and can accommodate different times and care needs. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. For overnight stays, I’m happy to stay in the home so the pets can remain in their familiar environment rather than being stressed by a new place. For drop ins/walks , I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible and keep the owner updated with pictures and messages so they know how their pet is doing.
“Lori is wonderful with our spoiled Bailey. We never have to worry when we leave him with her. She was at our house over New Year’s and experience a very scared Bailey with lots of fireworks. She handle that situation just like we would have done. Bailey is very happy when he is with her. He hates for us to leave, but is very happy when he sees Lori at the door. We highly recommend her and use her when she is free. Thank you, Lori.”
About: I provide loving, personal care for your pet. I love animals of all kinds, and have had them all my life. I love to play and walk dogs, and treat them as if they are my own. I have a safe, fenced large yard and only take dogs on flea and tick control , non aggressive, and up to date on their shots, for the safety of my dog and others I care for. I can take dogs up to 25 pounds. I have been dog sitting for many years and can provide excellent references if needed. I require a meet and greet, to get to know your dog and for your personal assurance that I am the sitter for your needs. I also can accomodate dogs with special needs and other pets. A nightly stay is a 24 hour period, late pickups over an hour will incur a day fee for that day. This is so i can stay on a schedule for other appointments. Hope to meet your furry family member soon!!
“Sally was AMAZING with our boy Banks and we were so happy to have had her help while my wife and I were away on vacation. She sent consistent updates and took very good care of our puppy. He had a little bit of a health scare and she immediately put our minds at ease by taking him to get evaluated and updated us throughout the entire process. Everything ended up being okay and she kept a close eye on him and made sure he was happy and healthy. We highly recommend Sally and are very happy to have been introduced to her.”
“Christine did a wonderful job and we will absolutely ask her to come back for future visits. She made our dog completely comfortable and she went above and beyond with her frequent communications and flexibility. Definitely a five-star pet sitter!”
About: Hi there! 😊 I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud dog mom of three amazing pups, including my sweet 11-year-old beagle, Rosco, and my two energetic Staffordshire Terriers. For over 11 years, I’ve been the primary caregiver for every part of their lives, from daily walks, feeding, playtime, and enrichment to administering medications, cleaning ears, treating skin irritations, monitoring health changes, and helping them through illnesses, injuries, and vet visits. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities because I believe every pet deserves individualized care. I know every wag, happy dance, and goofy personality is different, and getting to know what makes your pet feel comfortable is one of my favorite parts of the job. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy, a shy sweetheart, or a senior who needs a little extra patience, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone else. I’ll care for your pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, and I’ll always send regular updates and plenty of photos so you can see exactly how your best friend is doing. 🐾💛 Pet care is something I truly enjoy and have built into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, an evening walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and responsive. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your routines, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I treat my own and make sure everything is secure before I leave. Communication is incredibly important to me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages after every visit. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands from the moment I arrive until the moment I leave.
“Jessica took amazing care of our boy Blue - he got such much pool time and lots of cuddles which made him a happy boy. I appreciated all the feedback and beautiful pictures and the house was left nice and tidy. Thank you Jessica!!”
“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.”
About: I have cared for and owned of all sorts of animals from dogs, cats, snakes, and guinepigs! I love all types of creatures and have helped many friends and family members pet-sit in the past. My schedule is mostly wide open. Early mornings are the only times that are difficult for me. I do not mind working some weekends as needed. I have a fenced in yard and two mini aussies at home. They are sisters from the same litter and they will be 11 in May. We have had them since they were puppies and they love to keep me busy with their colorful personalities.
“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 !”
About: I have had a pet of some type my entire life, and I love to take care of animals. I work from home and have 2 willing teenagers at home who would love another pet but will settle on helping care for yours. I'm current home all day and will take your dog for walks and play. I have a ton of flexibility to walk dogs, take care of pets and play. Someone in our family is always home. We have a family dog at home that gets along well with others. Your pet will be treated the same as ours with fun play time, walks, exercise and a ton of attention.

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.
<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 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 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.
