“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’ve been around and caring for dogs and cats since I was 3 years old, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life! 🐾 Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family and friends, including traveling out of state to make sure their pets were well taken care of.

Most importantly, I want every pet staying with me to feel right at home. They’re welcome to relax, play, cuddle, and settle into their own routine while they’re here.

About: Animal lover, pet-less at the moment, but with lots of animals in my life. I have plenty of love, patience, cuddles, and care to give to your furry family member, big or small. I know how important and stressful finding a reliable place or a trustworthy person is. For over 20 years now neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to take care of their beloved pets at their house or mine. I have a very welcoming home with couches to surf, plenty of laps to sit on, lots of treats(or not), walks and playtime. My backyard is enclosed and the community has lots of green areas, several parks, fun walks and a dog park just a car ride away. I don’t mind traveling. I have taken care of two potbelly pigs, two donkeys, a squirrel, and two cats up in Archer, FL. Five cats and an African Gray parrot in Orlando. Several cats and dogs at their homes and mine, and whenever I can, I escape to my friend’s farm to help with the care of their horses. My grand-dog, April, loves to visit and get spoiled! Give me the opportunity to show you how well and at home your baby will feel! I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I set up beds in the living room and in my office. I also do pottery, and I have my wheel in an enclosed patio with a rug right next to it for my special helpers! I do a walk in the morning and another one about an hour after breakfast followed by some playtime. Then I do bathroom breaks every two hours or as needed. After noon, I work on my pottery and do some gardening in my fenced backyard. Rest assured your pet will never be outside unsupervised. Late afternoon I take them for a longer walk, a bathroom break after dinner, and again before bed. I make sure your baby is active and well exercised, with plenty of time for play, rest, and cuddles! And of course, I will also follow any schedule or routine they may have. I have a pet friendly home with an enclosed patio and fenced backyard, but rest assured your pup will never be left outside unsupervised.

If I have to go out, and no one else is home, I will leave the TV on with relaxing music or pet friendly content playing. I don’t own a crate, but you’re welcome to bring one if your baby is used to staying or sleeping in one. They are welcome to sleep in any of our bedrooms. I usually don’t allow them on my bed but my daughter will be ever so happy to oblige! If I’m caring for your beloved at your home, I will follow any rules you have set up for them, even sleeping with them if necessary!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I have petsitted a few times in Nicaragua, but the service was never as popular. I currently have a ten year old cocker spaniel named Leia, who you can see in my picture. I’m a proud dog friend and an aspiring cat friend as I haven’t had much experience with cats. However, I love animals (as long as they are not insects). I am one to pay close attention to pet body language, and I will make sure to provide the most comfort and love to your furbaby 💕 I’m currently working part-time so I will be super happy to fit any pet care into my schedule. I’m very punctual will petsit for you on friday and weekends, when you usually want to go out and enjoy human time ✨ I’m happy to provide any tools and help you acquire items for your pet.

Everybody at home adores pets.

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.
About: My name is Tiffany, Im 24 years old and I currently work at Bass Pro Shops. I am going to school to become a radiology tech. I was in the JROTC program in highschool for 4 years, so I have experience taking charge of a situation and being in a leadership position. I have volunteered at animal clinics before. Since I was a toddler, I've had a passion and respect for animals. This is my first job taking care of pets, but I'll guarantee they'll have the best time. I will tend to their every needs. I have immense patience, great at communicating, I'm punctual, organized, flexible when needed. When I have a goal, I'm a committed and determined person. Overall, I'm a reliable person and I would love the chance to take care of your babies! ! ! i have open availability to take care of your best friends when you need it! i can do any time, any day of the week. I live in the country walk area. My house may be small but your fur baby will have all the space in world to roam/explore when we go to the dog park to run and play. I can also easily crate your dog if needed...
About: Dogs are the best! I’ve raised a lab, a pit bull and even a mix from puppies. My childhood dogs were a lab and cockapoo so I’m used to large and medium dogs. It’s a joy to care for dogs in their home where they feel familiar and loved. Funny fact … I’ve been peed on twice at a dog park, once by a Great Dane! 🤣 I used gentle training methods (and lots of cheerios) with my puppies. With our previous dog, we took the PetSmart training course with our lab mix and that was really helpful. I teach at the high school so early mornings, after school and evenings are open times. Dogs need play time and connection as well as their own little space. Whatever they’re feeding schedule is, I would stick to that so it feels as close to their home life as it can. I never feed human food (unless directed by you) and discourage begging from the table by keeping their food near the kitchen. Whatever your dog’s schedule is, I can accommodate it and they’ll be in the cuddle pile with me anytime they want. My dogs were always crate trained so I’m confident in helping a dog have their safe space if that’s their normal. Basically, think of this as granny’s coming to visit. I might spoil them. I won’t leave them all sugared up though! I’m in a classroom teaching high school when school is in. Holidays and weekends I am home and available with greater frequency. Early morning, early afternoon and evening walks would be my best times to take care of your pet. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their rules. I’m an active person so long walks or playing ball, running the beach and a bath after are all part of the fun.
“Yolanda was absolutely amazing! We went out of town and she pet sat in our home. She sent updates everyday numerous times throughout the day with pictures! When we got home we could tell that our dog lily absolutely adored her and she was not stressed out at all. Yolanda even left our house cleaner than when we left. We were so surprised! We were truly grateful to have Yolanda to take care of our baby while we were gone! We would definitely use her again!”

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: I've been taking care of all breeds and sizes of dogs for the past 4 years, I've even fostered pitbulls, akita, and a great dane I have mostly open availability, any day and time your pet needs I'll be there. I want to make working with animals my only job :) I live in a large apartment but have plenty of fenced in community space to walk and play with dogs, there's also a few dog parks near me too. I make sure when sitting in a client's home that I don't disturb the space and that the pet is comfortable with my presence.

The average cost of House Sitting in Homestead is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $61 and $61 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 of October 2026, there are 1,707 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
