“Linda was absolutely wonderful! She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When an unexpected situation arose upon her initial arrival, she handled everything calmly and responsibly, always putting our pet’s well-being first. It’s clear that Linda genuinely cares about the animals in her care and goes above and beyond to make sure they are safe, comfortable, and loved. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. 🐾💕”
About: I have had several dogs over the years, SharPei, Bouvier des Flandres, Rescue, Boxer, Basset Hound and Polish Lowland Sheepdog. Loved them all! Will not name a favorite. I only work on Wednesdays. Take Pilates class on Tuesdays and Fridays but with advance notice can be available anytime. I also walk a lot. I live in a gated community where a lot of people have dogs. I am a single female and happy to take the dog out at anytime.
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!!
“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.”
“Carmen made me feel at ease while caring for our 3 dogs. She has to juggle a puppy, senior, and other dog and did so without issue. She stayed in the house and gave them attention so I could enjoy time away. Will definitely book with Carmen again for sitting.”
“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.”
“Tara did a great job house and dog sitting with our senior chihuahua Dudley. She sent pictures and updated us during the day and always responded to messages promptly. We will definitely have Tara house/dog sit for us again.”
“Amanda was the best!!!!! She was very sweet with the boys. I loved that she came to meet them and to see what exactly I expected for them. She went above and beyond what I asked for. She was sweet enough to take them for walks and to the park and to actually play with them!!!!! She sent me pictures daily and let me know when she was heading to my house and when she was leaving so I can set my alarm. I will definitely be contacting Amanda in the future. Definitely satisfied!!”
About: If I could adopt all dogs, of all sizes and ages, in need of a home, I would but instead I've taken care of countless dogs in my community for over a decade and also raised two adorable pomeranians who are my most treasured assets. I work remote in the technology sector with a very flexible schedule so I can provide more time and quality care for dogs I look after! I am responsible and respectful of my clients' home environment and preferences. I prioritize the needs, comfort, and wellbeing of all dogs I look after to ensure they are safe, healthy, and happy!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a slower, more patient approach, so I’m comfortable adjusting to whatever each pet needs. I currently help care for and walk my family dog, so I’m familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, and playtime. I’m confident handling all sizes and temperaments, whether a dog is playful and energetic or more calm and reserved. What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive and consistent. I make sure to follow instructions closely, keep routines steady, and always prioritize a pet’s comfort and safety. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel cared for, understood, and at ease while their owner is away. I currently work as a hostess with a steady schedule, so I plan pet care around my shifts. I’m generally available in the mornings, early afternoons, and later evenings, and I’m flexible on my days off for walks, drop-ins, and pet care visits. I already care for and walk my family dog daily, so pet care is a natural part of my routine. I’m organized and focused on providing consistent, reliable care for each pet. I follow all owner instructions closely to keep pets’ routines consistent and stress-free. I make sure feeding, walks, and any special care are done exactly as requested. I respect the home, keep things clean, and focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels, and I always provide updates so owners know how their pet is doing.
About: My name is Angels. I'm a reliable, responsible and caring pet sitter. I'm a full time Middle School paraprofessional, taking care of pets is my second favorite thing to do. I love animals. I've volunteered for many nonprofit organizations that rescue dogs. I was trained by the humane society to walk, to train and to care for dogs. I will love your dogs and care for them as if they were my own dogs. I will make sure to take pictures and to keep them safe while they are under my care. I am looking forward to working with you and your pet(s) . Have a wonderful and blessed rest of your day! Stay safe and sound! Thank you for your consideration!! Best Regards, Angels. It is summertime, so I am more flexible with my scheduling, meaning I have more time to walk during the day as opposed to only after work during the school year. While caring for them at your home, I will make sure to walk, feed, bathe, and brush your furry loved one as if they were my own.
“Glenn is great with our two dogs. He sends daily photos and stays in touch the entire trip. He stayed at the house and is very reliable. It’s makes it easier to travel knowing our dogs are well taken care of while we are away. Thanks again Glenn for taking good care of Skye and Balto!”
“Jessica truly is a 10/10! She is reliable, communicative, responsible, and she showered my dogs and cats with endless love during her stay. Jessica sent me updates and photos each day! It was extremely comforting to know that my fur babies were in good hands while I was away! She also kept everything very clean for the animals and made my house extra tidy for my return (even took out the garbage she used, which was not necessary …but it highlights the attention to detail and care she has). I will be using her for future bookings and would happily refer her to my friends and family! I highly recommend!”
“Andrea was truly incredible, especially given how last-minute everything was. She came all the way out to my home in a newer, more remote community without hesitation, which I really appreciated. From the moment she arrived, she was kind, compassionate, and incredibly accommodating. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions, wanted clear notes and structure, and made sure she understood everything—from routines to where the treats and supplies were. That level of care and attention gave me immediate peace of mind. My two dogs absolutely adored her and felt comfortable right away, which says everything. She also did a wonderful job caring for my two independent cats—something not everyone takes the time to do well, but she absolutely did. Andrea is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets (and home) with real care and respect.”
About: I’ve taken care of big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I have also helped with giving them their medication. I am able to be there all day and night with them and love going for walks. I also like to keep the owner updated everyday on the phone. I currently work remote and I am able to stay all day and night. I make my own schedule and can be free to play with the animals whenever as well as take them for a walk whenever. Everyone that I dog sit or cat sit for likes it when I stay over and I make sure to go a day before to meet the pets and have the owner walk me through what an average day looks like so that I imitate it and keep the same schedule. While I’m there I like to keep the house clean.
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.
“Cristina was absolutely amazing. She dog sat for us while we went away for a whole week. And she was so great with our dog. She sent me pictures and videos and updates the entire time. Made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her. He was a bit shy in the beginning being this was his first time without us for that long and before I knew it he warmed up to her and was all cuddled up with her. I am so grateful to have found her. If you are questioning if you should hire her, think no more! You wont be disappointed. Now im happy to know I can call her whenever we need to be out of town. She was truly a blessing. Not one complaint. Reliable and so loving to our baby. Highly highly recommend.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hobe Sound
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hobe Sound on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,415 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
