Michelle was amazing with our usually very shy and reserved cats. She was a new sitter to me as my old, much cherished sitter is no longer available. I had literally just moved, my home still mostly in boxes, and had to take a business trip out of town. I did what I could to ensure my cats were situated with all of their comfort items and all of their spaces within the home unpacked and secure before leaving. Michelle came into that situation/chaos and took charge. She was even able to pet one kitty by the end and capture a few photos of my most timid. That says ALOT because frequently, this kitty hides so effectively with sitters they cannot even provide a "proof of life" photo of her. I came home to clean litter boxes and happy, stress free cats. If you need a cat sitter, Michelle is the one. I will definitely be using her again.

About: As a dog mom myself, I know the importance of leaving your most precious family member in good hands. You will enjoy your time away knowing they are well taken care of. I work from home which gives me the flexibility of watching over your fur baby 24/7 and giving you peace of mind that they will always have good company around. I have a fenced yard and two dogs of my own who are playful, potty trained and loving towards other dogs. Also, since I work from home your baby will never feel alone.

About: Raised with a pittie and boxer! Always had pets in the home from big to small. I work as a zookeeper at a private zoo/sanctuary with animals such as big cats, small wild cats, canids, birds of prey, and primates. I’ve had to raise some since they were babies, and have had to care for some at an old age I currently switched over to only volunteering at the zoo! I’m available anytime! My schooling is online so there would be no inconvenience! I try to be active during the day so your furry friend will definitely be a part of that My complex is fenced and dog friendly! I have a cat that does get along with dogs and other cats as well but if your furry friend doesn’t that’s okay! They can be in their own space if needed. I will follow your instructions to a T and if I need to reach out to you I certainly will, I will also send little update pics of what your fur babies and I are doing!

About: I have been professionally pet and house sitting since I was 16, but have taken care of animals almost all my life. Some of the animals I’ve personally had the pleasure to own have been a turtle, fish, a hamster, cat, and dogs. Most of my experience is with dogs, ranging from 3 month puppies to 16 year old gray faced seniors that have special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding schedules, and giving the necessary patience and attention to animals who need additional assistance. My schedule is flexible throughout the week and weekend, so your pets will get the best companionship, supervision, and care I can give. I will respond as soon as I can with any inquiries or concerns. I provide respectful, attentive care for both pets and homes. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, feeding, or simply relaxing together, your pet will be supervised and well cared for. I also take pride in keeping homes clean, organized, and well maintained, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Donovan was an amazing sitter for my cat , May. I was gone for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in good hands. Donovan was very communicative on her moods and eating habits . I received pictures everyday , which eased my mom guilt. Very kind and understanding. I’d recommend Donovan as a sitter to anyone and will be using him again

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and my passion for their health and well-being has led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician, and I graduated from my high school’s veterinary program as a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA). Through four years of hands-on training, I’ve gained experience handling dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable recognizing signs that a pet may not be feeling well, following care instructions carefully, and providing patient, compassionate care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break before officially starting college! So I would like to use my spare time usefully. I have lots of spare time to cater to your needs Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care they need so I can provide consistent, individualized care. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog on a walk, or caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: I live, breath, and think of animals. My future career is a veterinarian and this will help me as I proceed in Veterinary Assisting. I've always had a dog in my life and I've grown up learning new ways to train my dogs and new ways to to keep them active. I have two pets of my own, the first is a Amstaff Terrier and the second is a Great Dane. I enjoy adding my pets into my exercise routine because I know this is the pets exercise time as well. I love to buy pet toys and present them as a gift to my own pet which makes them excited easy to play. Hopefully I can be that fun factor to your sweet and loving pet.

About: I’ve cared for dogs at every life stage, from administering medication to my senior pup to helping young puppies learn their very first commands. I’ve also raised my Husky since he was just 4 months old, and now at 5 years old he’s given me years of hands‑on experience with high‑energy breeds, structure, and positive reinforcement. While I’m not officially certified, I’ve learned a great deal from working alongside professional trainers and applying those techniques consistently in my daily routine. I'm currently going to school full-Time, I would always make time to take care and spend time with your pups or if you have an older companion! I'm available on some weekdays. Weekends I can do. I’m currently not going to be providing boarding due to space and have a big dog. But I can do drop in visits offering playtime, long walks, and cuddles during my visits.

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 for Dog Sitting in Homestead on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,560 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Homestead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Homestead stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.

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

  • 89% 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.

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.
