“I had such an amazing experience with Anette! ❤️ This was my very first time hiring a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Anette was extremely reliable, kind, loving, and caring with both of my fur babies. She was always quick to respond to my messages and constantly kept me updated with pictures, which meant so much to me. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my trip with complete peace of mind, knowing my babies were in wonderful hands. I’m truly grateful for the love and attention she gave them. I would absolutely trust her with my fur babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much, Anette!”


“Victoria was a great communicator and took good care of both of my dogs. She is very kind, patient, and she sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout the entire day she spent in my house. Thank you!”

“Alana was wonderful with our baby Kaya. She sent photos, updates and was quick to answer any questions we had. She was able to give our dog her medicine, and took her for her regular walks. We came home to a spotless home, and a happy dog. We look forward to having Alana come back soon, without hesitation. Thank you Alana!”

“I have to admit I was super nervous leaving my boys for 2 weeks, especially with my cat having congestive heart failure but Ruth was wonderful and followed instructions, came back to our home and the boys looking great. Thank you Ruth, I will be rebooking you again.”

“Thanks again for watching Willie on short notice! He loved hanging out and going on walks with Kass she is great if you need someone trustworthy and knowledgeable to look after your pups”

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: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that i actually love the whole job not only the cute parts. Im patient when it comes to puppies who are still learning and are very playful, gentle with older dogs who need a slower pace, and calm when pets are anxious and shy. Im great at following the routine like giving pets meds and sensing when something is “off”. Basically I treat every pet like theyre my own with lots of love and care. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is very open, which allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship as needed I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. At my home, I have a friendly cat and a fenced yard where pets can run around and play safely with supervision. I stick to their normal feeding and potty schedules, give them plenty of playtime and attention, and make sure they’re always comfortable. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so pets feel relaxed and at home. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care as instructed.

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life. In high school, I was part of the Veterinary Science Magnet Program at Felix Varela, where I earned my CVA certification and studied veterinary science and animal care. I also spent around three years training dogs through the program. During my senior year, I completed an internship at a veterinary clinic, where I got about two years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I fostered throughout high school and for a while after, which gave me experience caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I have experience with pets of all different sizes and ages and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, basic training, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love. Having pets of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I currently work part-time and am also in school, but I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care depending on what you and your pet need. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, leash safety, doors and gates, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🐶❤️ I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, from playful puppies who need lots of attention to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. My experience in animal rescue has taught me that every dog is different. Some are energetic and playful, while others are shy, nervous, or need time to feel comfortable. I take the time to understand each dog and respect what makes them unique. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I enjoy being active, spending time with pets, and keeping them on a consistent schedule. I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and the individual needs of each pet. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away, and I’m committed to giving them plenty of attention, love, and care. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow feeding schedules, walks, medications when needed, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of patience, attention, and affection while respecting their individual personality and boundaries. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. 🐾❤️

About: I am a very friendly easygoing person, and I am into fitness. I try to stay active as often as I possibly can. I was born and raised in Miami. I enjoy the company of dogs because I had a German Shepherd mixed with a chow chow when I was younger and he was a huge part of my family. My mother and I got him at the humane society in broward when he was a baby. His name was Mikey but we renamed him Roxy, girly name but we thought it was cool lol. I grew up with Roxy and he was basically like my little brother. I look forward to the opportunity to meet all types of dogs and hanging out at parks I working in the morning and get off in the early afternoon. My wife works in the afternoon and gets off in the early evening I have a fenced yard, very friendly neighborhood and a household that loves animals and has an appreciation for life. Availablilty to give the upmost care to the animals as well.

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. Your pet is welcomed on our couches, our laps, and any part of the house they wish to be in. 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: We are Carlos and Liliana, a married couple with a lifelong connection to pets. We both grew up on family farms, surrounded by dogs, cats, horses and other animals, so caring for them has always been a natural part of our lives. Our beloved dog, Chispita, was part of our family for 14 years, giving us experience caring for a dog throughout the different stages of her life. We have also regularly cared for our children’s cats in New York and New Orleans, including administering daily medication when needed. More recently, through house and pet sitting, we have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages and routines, including a household with two Huskies and four cats for three weeks. We understand that every pet is different and take the time to follow their established feeding, walking, medication and companionship routines carefully. We are both architects and university professors, responsible, organized and attentive to detail. When caring for pets in their own home, we also treat the home with the same care and respect we give our own. We are currently in a flexible stage of our professional lives, which gives us plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in our care. Since we are a couple, we can coordinate our schedules so pets receive plenty of companionship and are rarely left alone for long periods. We carefully follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in their own home, our priority is to maintain the environment and routine they already know. We carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors, gates, and any special needs. We are attentive to changes in behavior and keep owners informed while they are away. As experienced HomeExchange, Airbnb, and TrustedHousesitters users, we are also very respectful of our clients’ homes, privacy, and belongings.
“Ahliah was a life saver--we were able to book her last minute, she came over to meet us and our kitten, and then made us feel so comfortable and reassured that she was there watching our kitten, feeding her, and playing with her. Will definitely work with Ahliah again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Homestead is $41 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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 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 1,671 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 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 Homestead. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
