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!!

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 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.

“Malia & her daughter took great care of our 9 year old Beagle during our 3 week vacation. They attended to his schedule for walks, time out in the yard , meals and meds. Gave us great peace of mind to have daily updates/photos. A neighbor even reached out to tell me she frequently saw him out for walks and that when our grumpy guy got stirred up and reactive to other dogs she handled him with ease. Now, I wish he'd be that obedient with me! Bixby was excited to see us come home but I could tell he was relaxed and happy with the care he had received.”

About: I have actually received many positive reviews for the sitting I have done up to this point, 4 years professionally and a lifetime of experience too! I have mostly had furred and some feathered pets, and have watched them for people I know in their homes too. I've done lots of official sits the past few years, and have been invited back for repeat sits several times. I'm conscientious and organized etc. by nature, and also have a calm presence that most pets quickly warm up to. I've taken care of indoor, outdoor and indoor/outdoor pets before, and am good with doors and keeping them where they need to be. I've also been recommended for other sits, and have had many others reach out to me for sits. I've also done a few sits without even having to meet the owners, like if they needed to take off or needed me to fill in as a replacement, so that's always an option if it ever comes down to it. I've even obliged when the first pick ahead of me falls through, which is no bother for me and probably ends up for the best anyway! My first 15 reviews shown here are just some of the many actual sitting-related reviews I've received over the past few years. I am flexible in general and can accommodate most any pet care requirements and scenarios. And feeding as well as play times and so forth. I am very good with doors and keeping pets contained and where they need to be. I am also attentive and enjoy giving pets attention.

About: Hi! I’m Ulyses, a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience in dog training, handling, and pet care. What sets me apart is my understanding of canine behavior and the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. My experience training dogs has helped me recognize different temperaments, understand body language, and adjust my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I’m also the proud owner of Buddy, my German Shorthaired Pointer! As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable who will treat your pet like family. Whether your dog is energetic, playful, shy, or prefers a relaxed environment, my goal is to provide attentive, personalized care while maintaining their normal routine. I believe that great pet care goes beyond feeding and walking. It’s about building trust, providing a safe environment, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities! I currently work full-time on an overnight schedule, which gives me flexibility during the day to provide pet care. I enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs, whether that means walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual schedule. I also have weekend availability, depending on the services needed. Feel free to reach out so we can discuss your pet’s needs and find a schedule that works for both of us! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. With hands-on experience in dog training, I understand the importance of recognizing canine body language, respecting boundaries, and providing a structured, positive environment. I’m also the proud owner of Buddy, my German Shorthaired Pointer! For dogs who enjoy socializing, introductions can be arranged gradually and under close supervision. I understand that not every dog is comfortable around other animals, and I always prioritize safe interactions. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect the owner’s instructions, maintain their established routines, and ensure their environment remains clean, comfortable, and secure. You can expect reliable communication, updates, and photos throughout your pet’s care!

“Lisa was great. She stayed at our house and took care of our pets and our home. She communicated with us before and during the stay. She came over to meet the dogs and learn about staying at the house. She sent pictures of the dogs during her stay. When we returned home the dogs were healthy and happy AND our house was tidy and clean. Would definitely recommend Lisa. She loves dogs!”

I been taking care of a Cooker spaniel, Husky, Chihuahuas, French bulldogs, Yorkies, Malteses, and more..

About: I have always loved all types of animals. My family has bred, trained, and shown multiple different breeds of dogs. I’m very good and training all different breeds and well known to have the best behaved dogs. If I had it my way I would have a ranch full of all different types of animals. I’m very gentle and normally can read dogs and go at their pace for training or care. I love to walk dogs and play with cats. I no longer have a pet of my own, but wanna fill that void by watching over you alls. I’m pretty open and love to just spend time with animals. I have flexible schedule and can work remotely right now. I can focus on each animals individual timely needs. I’m a pretty ocd individual and like to keep things tidy and clean. I start the day off with walk then feeding animals. Play throughout the day. Afternoon walks and then dinner and more play time. Depending on animal they normally can sleep with me as well.

When we returned the house was neat and clean and the dogs were literally glowing. We are so happy we have found you and look forward to having you house and dog sit for us again. We feel you became not only a friend to our pups but to us as well. Please reach out for anything! Thank you again so much!”

About: I have been pet-sitting since approximately 2014--my absolute favorite jobs have been with my sister's labradoodle, Rex, pictured above, as he is my nephew. I love animals, get along with them quickly, and am adaptable to their unique needs. Happy to help reinforce training as needed and have plenty of experience with all sizes and lifestyles, small to large, sedentary to active. I work part-time in the food and beverage industry; formerly working as a corporate ghostwriter for business executives and owners. I would love to meet cute fur babies in the neighborhood as it inevitably uplifts my mood and day without fail. I have a flexible schedule all mornings to early afternoons and would love to spend some time making pet parents' lives a little easier and meeting my neighbors. I am not able to currently house pets in my own home due to size and lease restrictions. That said, as a house-sitter/pet-sitter, I closely follow pet parents' exact instructions for their pet and house care, including rules, dietary needs, and scheduling. I aim to build trust and neighborly relationships based on transparency and accountability with any and all of my clients.

She sent photos and updates and treated her with such kindness and love. Lucy isn’t always comfortable with strangers, but she fell in love with Chelsea immediately, and so did we. She followed all the directions and care instructions. I won’t hesitate for a minute to have her come again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hobe Sound

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Hobe Sound is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $51 and $102 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 November 2026, there are 1,403 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hobe Sound. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
