About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for and build strong relationships with a variety of cats and birds over the years. When friends or family have needed to travel, I’ve also cared for their dogs, typically for trips of up to two days. These experiences have helped me understand the different needs and personalities of each pet, while reinforcing the importance of patience, consistency, and providing attentive, reliable care. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention. I’ll follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and doing well.
About: Hey parents, my name is Lin. What sets me apart is the genuine love and personal experience I bring to caring for dogs. I’ve raised my two chihuahuas since they were puppies—they’re truly family to me—so I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like their own. I’ve created the most pet-friendly home environment, with a large fenced backyard that has grassy areas to run around, doggie pools to cool off in, and plenty of space to play and explore. Inside, the rooms are air-conditioned and cozy, so your pup will always be comfortable. I encourage socializing and active playtime, and I keep crate time to a minimum—usually zero—unless it’s part of your dog’s routine. I also have experience with both extrovert and introvert pets as well as puppies and senior dogs, so whether your pup is full of energy or needs a slower pace, they’ll be in safe, loving hands. Me and my fiancé are home full-time, so your pup will always have someone around giving them love and attention. I run my own online business, and she’s a full-time nursing student taking classes from home, which means we’re both here 24/7 to supervise, play, and care for the dogs throughout the day. Whether it’s potty breaks, cuddle sessions, or keeping up with their routine, we’ve got it covered. Your dog will never feel alone or ignored—they’ll be part of the family while they’re with us. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We’ve created a calm, welcoming, and secure environment where every pup can feel right at home and keeping you updated with pictures and videos throughout the day of their activities. Our large backyard is fully fenced for safe outdoor play, and we’re always supervising to make sure everyone is happy and safe—no dog is ever left unattended. Inside, the space is clean, cozy, air-conditioned, and monitored with cameras so we can always keep an eye on everything. We take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously and treat every dog like they’re part of our own family. You can trust that your pup will be safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way.
About: Graduate of a veterinary assistant program with 5 years of professional animal experience. Grooming small dogs, giving baths, administering medication, and training puppies are my specialties. Trustworthy, patient, and fun. Your pets will love every visit! As an online college student, I’m available weekday mornings and evenings. I offer walks, drop-ins, and at-home grooming, with flexibility for recurring or last minute visits. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, and pets can enjoy my fenced 2 acre yard or 50 ft long line safely under supervision. At the client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and handle pets gently, providing a calm, positive experience every visit.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give to every animal I care for. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and good at following specific instructions, whether that includes caring for energetic puppies, maintaining routines for senior pets, administering basic care, or simply giving extra comfort and companionship. I treat every pet like family and always make their happiness and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel cared for and comfortable. I currently work Monday through Friday, but I am very flexible on weekends and can accommodate whatever times are needed. I’m reliable, organized, and always make time to give pets the attention, care, walks, playtime, and affection they deserve. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, companionship, and lots of attention while also keeping the home clean and respectful. If caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, loving, and safe environment where they receive constant supervision, affection, exercise, and personalized care based on their specific needs and personality.
About: Cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. Managed feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. Provided companionship and ensured pets felt safe while owners were away. Comfortable following specific instructions (medications, routines, crate training, etc.) Prioritize safety, cleanliness, and lots of love and attention. I am currently a stay at home mom so we spend lots of time outside! We are always going on walks as we live in a beautiful community with lots of paths and grass for playing. We have an apartment so space is limited here but we can go to the dog park, park, on walks, etc. They can roam freely throughout the house if house / potty trained.
“Jazmarie was wonderful with my dog, Sky. She came twice a day, always on time, to take her out and feed her. She was very sweet with Sky and sent me pictures every visit. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again. 🐾💛”
About: As someone who has spent their entire life surrounded by animals, I have developed a deep connection and understanding of their needs. From caring for family pets to volunteering at shelters, my love for animals has always been at the heart of what I do. I bring patience, compassion, and a commitment to ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and loved under my care. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or providing specialized attention, I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working a full time job, but with free available time during the week and on weekends, I have a pretty flexible schedule in my current job. I live in a townhouse with a backyard, we are a really pet friendly that loves animals, and i have a lot of parks close to take them for a walk and play.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them—from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, birds, ducks, chickens, goats and cows, along with a very beloved ferret who still holds a special place in my heart. That lifelong experience has made me comfortable around animals with all kinds of personalities, routines and needs. I've learned that every pet is different: some want to be right by your side, some need time to warm up, some have endless energy, and others are happiest simply knowing you're nearby. Today, I'm a proud cat mom to three, and my love for animals is a huge part of why I'm here. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care, and I want every owner to feel confident knowing their pet is being looked after with genuine affection, patience and attention. Whether I'm caring for your pet for a few hours or while you're away, my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved and as close to their normal routine as possible. I'll care for them with the same thoughtfulness I'd want someone to give my own. ❤️ I currently have availability during evenings, nights, and weekends, allowing me to provide attentive care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and routines so their experience feels familiar, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I provide care in my clients’ homes, my priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable in the environment they already know. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions you have for their care. I’m also very respectful of the homes I’m trusted with. I’m naturally extremely tidy (admittedly, a bit of a neat freak!), so I’ll keep your pet’s spaces clean, tidy up as needed, and treat your home with the same care and consideration I would my own. My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home that feels just as you left it—if not a little tidier. :)
“Lexi has been an invaluable asset in our family, always ready to step in to take care of our Bingo & Rolly to make sure we had the time to bring the kids on a rare day/weekend trip. Even when asking last minute, same day, Lexi always came to our help and once here into our home she lovingly took care of our beloved pugs as if they were hers, so much so that even our rescue Bingo who has experienced trauma in the past and is shy with most people, opened up to her. Regrettably, we are leaving the area, or else Lexi would have surely remained our trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Lexi, for taking care of Bingo & Rolly and for being so friendly and kind to us.”

About: Hi there! I'm Alexis. What's my favorite thing about dogs you ask? Well, I find delight in how loving they are, how sweet they are, how they love you unconditionally and are the best cuddle buddies. The best part about being a sitter with RoverGO is getting to meet, take care of, and have fun with so many different dogs and/or cats! I'm offering traveling pet care services through Rover that allow for your pet(s) to keep their daily routine and their environment the same while you are away. I can stop by your home for drop-ins or walks, as well as, stay overnight if your pet(s) need company all throughout the day. My schedule is open and as long as I get your request, and we are a good match, I'm confident I will be your go-to pet sitter! I have had 7 dogs throughout my life including my two current pups. I come from a dog loving family. We have been taking care of dogs since I was just a young child. I will take care of your dog like they are my own. House sitting requires a level of trust and responsibility that I know how to emit. I will leave your home just as it was when you left! Send me a request! I'd be honored to meet you and your beloved pet(s). Forging a genuine relationship with you as your next pet sitter is something I pride myself on! Let's meet in person soon.
About: I've had multiple pets (mostly dogs) since a young age and have always loved taking long walks and playing games with them, tug of war and fetch being my favorites. Though I love playing, I'm also very adaptable to older or calmer pets and will make sure to care for their needs I work a very flexible schedule and can come and go as needed, which will make pet sitting no worry at all! I also take classes online, so I have free time to work whenever I am needed. I will make sure to follow the instructions that are given to me on whether the pet is indoors only or indoors/outdoors. As well as making sure that any pets that go outside are leashed, depending on whether the houses yard has a fence or not.
About: I have had pets in my home my whole life until my dog recently passed away. I was reluctant of letting in another because I didn’t want to go through the grief all over again. Recently, I have had a feeling to help out as many animals as I can. Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy it happened!!! I want to give these babies love and support no matter the cost. I do this by volunteering at the shelter, and hopefully being able to take care of your pets through Rover!!! I am available whenever needed! I am a full time student with a flexible schedule. I will work around the times that fit your needs. I take dogs out for walks, babysit, and take them on day trips to stimulate themselves. I know bigger dogs especially get stressed out so I like to get them moving. I have toys available and a big land for them to play.
About: I’ve watched and taken care and had pets of my own since I was a young girl. My family own 10 dogs in total through out the whole entire family. Our group chats are filled with everyone constantly sending pics of their animals. Pet care is everyday for me. I own a Sphynx cat and pit lab boxer mix that I tend to every day. Feed , walk and entertain with my own silliness. I take care of my pets by always keeping an eye on them. Making sure they aren’t getting into anything. If they seem bored I’ll take them outside or give them a snack.
About: Taking care of pets is second hand nature for me! I was raised with a cat and a dog. Currently, I also babysit a 10 month year-old baby boy and a golden retriever so I’m very accustomed to taking care of animals in all aspects. I currently have a part-time job and am a part time student but for the most part, I’m free and great at scheduling. Always feel free to reach out. High-quality pet care requires a reliable environment where safety, routine, and engagement remain top priorities. Experience with animal care ensures that guest pets receive attentive supervision while owners are away. Whether hosting boarding clients or visiting a home for drop, in services, maintaining a secure and familiar schedule is the baseline for every booking.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Homestead
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ¡Una experiencia verdaderamente maravillosa! ❤️🐾 No tengo suficientes palabras para expresar lo agradecida y feliz que estoy con el cuidado que recibió mi Nila. Encontrar a alguien en quien confiar para dejar a un miembro tan importante de nuestra familia no siempre es fácil, pero tener la tranquilidad de saber que está en buenas manos no tiene precio. La dedicación, el cariño, la paciencia y el amor por los animales hacen toda la diferencia. Para nosotras, Nila no es simplemente una mascota, es nuestra bebé, y saber que recibe el amor y la atención que merece significa muchísimo. Recomiendo sus servicios al 1000%. Sin duda, volveríamos a confiarle el cuidado de nuestra pequeña. ¡Muchísimas gracias por todo! 🥹💕🐶
I highly recommend her! She always takes such wonderful care of my dog and is incredibly professional. My dog has epilepsy, so it means a lot to have someone I can truly trust. She is attentive to his needs, treats him with so much love, and gives me peace of mind every time he stays with her. She’s the best!
I had Oscar do a last minute drop in for my pups, and he was fantastic! He followed all instructions perfectly, was right on time, and kept me updated with great communication and lots of pictures (which I really appreciated!). My dogs are super happy, and I will definitely be booking with him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Homestead is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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 2,588 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Homestead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Homestead 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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Homestead with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
