Danaya did absolutely wonderful with my boys. :) After some mixed Rover experiences in my past she was an amazing relief on my mind to have stay in my home with them. Dayana provided updates and photos, and did amazing with all of my other instructions. Not only that but she herself was so kind! :) I just know my babies had to have been so comfortable having her with them, which made me feel so good to know with my sometimes anxious pup. I would rebook and recommend Dayana for any of mine or others pet care needs. :)

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.

We had the best experience with Mendora! We were gone for 10 days on vacation and everyday our dogs were looked after and cared for without worry. She showed up on time every time to feed, let our dogs out, and spend time with them. She kept us updated with messages and pictures of our pups daily. One of our dogs was on an antibiotic while in Mendora’s care and she made sure our pup didn’t miss a single pill. Thank you for everything we really appreciate all you did for us and our pups. We will 100% recommend and use again!

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.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have two that are in my fenced backyard. I have done basic training on them and cared for puppies that my dog had so I have experience with all ages even months old puppies. I love dogs so much and while I was in my college apartment, I would dogsit with my roommate. I’m currently studying for the LSAT, so I am not working and wanted some extra money. I an available every day but I may be a bit busier on the weekends. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs, but I do not have to take your dog outside with them if you do not feel comfortable. I can walk them in the front yard and around the block. I live in a very safe neighborhood and everyone in my family has experience with dogs.

About: My first vote was when I was 10, and from that moment on I knew I would love her. My neighbors were always asking me to feed their furry friends and take them for walks. They would say, "There goes the girl and her dogs." I have now left my old job as a Medical Assistant because I have always dreamed of getting more involved with furry animals, I think I was born for them and I feel I have a deep connection with them. I have a large, spacious, fenced and secure yard. I also have three adorable dogs that will keep your furry friend company at all times.

About: Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my entire life and have a genuine love for all pets. While growing up in Peru, I rescued numerous abandoned dogs and cats, helping them recover by providing care, food, and lots of affection until they regained their health. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, dedication, and paying close attention to the individual needs of each animal. Since moving to the United States, I have cared for two dogs and one cat, providing them with a life filled with love, comfort, and attention. My most recent dog had a disability and required daily medication, a special diet, and additional care. Through this experience, I learned the importance of maintaining routines, administering medications properly, and being attentive to any special needs a pet may have. I strive to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I am responsible, caring, and highly observant of their physical and emotional needs. My priority is to ensure that your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding, ensuring that they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, and daily routines. I maintain a clean, safe, and calm environment, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they have fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection so they feel comfortable and happy.

Michelle is a blessing! This was our first family vacation trusting our pets with someone and we couldn’t have made a better choice. She’s loving, caring, diligent, handled a variety of different kinds of pets (dogs, cats, fish, rabbit, guinea pig) and even clipped their claws and cleaned their eyes and ears. Can’t recommend enough.

An enthusiastic 5 stars! Jozafin was a wonderful dog/house sitter, and I am so relieved I was able to find her last minute after another dog sitter cancelled. The thing that speaks most to how wonderful Jozafin was with my dog is the fact that he has never been so calm upon my returning home from a long trip. My dog has separation anxiety and can get quite upset about departures and arrivals. He was excited to see me, but he adjusted quickly and did not act out in some of the typical ways (accidents, chewing things, etc.). While away for a few weeks, I received periodic pictures and updates, and when I needed her to watch for a package or ask her a question, communication was easy and considerate. I came home to a clean house, a happy dog, and a thoughtful note about how the stay had gone and what she had done. Without a doubt, I will be using Jozafin again!

About: Hi! My name is Alana, and while this is my first Rover profile, I’ve actually been pet sitting through my family’s Rover account for the past five years. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they love long walks, playing fetch, curling up for cuddles, or just having someone nearby to keep them company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry baby, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I’m currently a university student in Miami, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. I receive my class schedule well in advance each semester, allowing me to plan my availability and fully commit to the pets in my care. Most of my classes are only a few times a week and aren’t all-day commitments, so I have plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care. Outside of class, my schedule is very open, and I make it a priority to give every pet the time, attention, and love they deserve. If you have specific scheduling needs, I’m always happy to communicate and do my best to accommodate them! For the past five years, I’ve helped care for pets through my family’s Rover account, where we’ve always focused on providing a calm, safe, and personalized experience. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make it a priority to follow every instruction exactly as provided from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and any house rules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I know how important trust is, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and companionship. Whether we’re playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing together, I make sure they’re never left feeling ignored or lonely. My priority is always to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for until you return.

What sets me apart is my ability to truly connect with each and every dog. I pay attention to their needs, read their body language, and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away! I'm currently available on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as evenings from 6 PM to 12 AM during the week. My schedule allows me to give each dog my full attention, energy, and care! No rush, no stress, just quality time with your fur baby. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are your dog’s comfort, safety, happiness and treating your space with the same respect I’d give my own.

I make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and exercise, so they feel secure and relaxed even when you're away.

I’m there to keep your dog happy in the place they feel most at ease, home sweet home.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my deep understanding of dogs’ unique needs, coupled with my experience providing specialized care. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies requiring training and patience to senior dogs needing extra attention and gentle care. 🐾 Please Note: I care for multiple dogs at a time — I don’t offer one-on-one, exclusive dog sitting. However, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I also have separate rooms available for dogs who need their own space. I’m a stay-at-home grandma with a flexible schedule, and being retired means I have plenty of time to devote to my furry friends. 🥰 My days revolve around playtime, walks, and cuddles, so your pups will get all the love and attention they deserve. 🐶💖🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I ensure the space is pet-proofed, clean, and equipped with plenty of toys, cozy spots to rest, and access to fresh food and water. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to help pets feel secure.🐶 Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for at all times.❤️❤️❤️

Vanessa fue una excelente cuidadora con mi gordo, es una persona muy amable y carismática, estuvo en constante comunicación conmigo durante te la estancia de mi gordo me enviaba fotos, se le nota el amor por los anímales, aunque esta fue mi primera vez dejando a mi gordo con ella me dio bastante confianza y pude viajar tranquila sabiendo que estaba en buenas manos. Agradezco cada gesto de amor y cariño dado x ella y su familia a mi gordito, es un bulldog inglés que está aconstumbrado a recibir mucho amor y se que con ella no le faltó. 100% recomendada.

FAQs for House Sitting - Homestead

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Homestead on Rover is $26.64 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 1,684 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Homestead. 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 Homestead 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 Homestead 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 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!

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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
