About: I’m a pet groomer and sitter of 5+ years. I have experience caring for senior and younger animals as well as hedgehogs, ferrets, and Lizards. Your fur baby will always be accompanied by me and my family! They are able to roam around the house and the fenced back yard always being supervised. I have an 8 foot high fenced backyard with a small doggy door. Pets are welcome on the furniture or one of the many pet beds and will be provided fresh water and be fed separately. I have all my grooming supplies at home if you’d like have your fur baby groomed during their stay and I have experience grooming both dogs and cats 🐶🐱
“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.”
“We’re so grateful for Melida! She showed our pups so much love and attention, really spent quality time with them. You can tell she truly cares—she played with them and made them feel happy and safe. Highly recommend!”
“Serena went above and beyond to make me feel super comfortable with her taking care of my baby. She was always sending me pictures, videos and texts! She even brought in some packages that were outside my door and put my trash bins back to where they are! My baby loves her and even ate from her hands! I felt so good knowing they are in good hands. I recommend her 100%! Thank you Serena!!”
“Jovanni sent me pics of my babies every time she visited them. She told me about the “talks” she had with each and how the walks went. I was very at ease being away knowing they were being loved on and cared for as if they were her own. ❤️”
“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!”
“Nina was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pets with anyone while my family and I were away on vacation, and she made the entire experience stress-free. My dogs don’t get along with just anyone, they’re very high-energy, but from the moment they met Nina, they instantly connected with her. That gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Nina was extremely attentive and detail-oriented. She sent photos during every check-in, kept us updated throughout the whole process, and even provided photo proof that the house was secure. She also cleaned up any messes, brought in packages that were left outside, and truly went above and beyond what was asked of her. I will definitely book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! too!”

About: I've been living with animals all my life. I've taken care of several different breeds of dogs and cats. I've even worked with local zoos and sanctuaries. I also assist in managing a local cat colony and do other things in the community to help out the animals. I couldn't see my life without animals. I will surely treat your fur baby with love and care just as if they are my own. Right now I am working from home part time and I have a flexible schedule, set schedules welcome, I'm up for morning walks, over night caring and weekends for your cat or dog. I prefer to care for your pet at your house. I can possibly accommodate one or two cats at my house. I live with three dogs and 5 cats and if you are ok with them being roommates for a day or so, we can definitely discuss that option. I am open to discuss any arrangements that will work for you and your family.
“Dayana saved me by accepting a very last minute booking. She was so understanding and really worked with me to make sure my two fur babies went outside to use the bathroom and got fed. 10/10 would definitely book with her again!!”

Serena is excellent! Very caring and professional! We had a very important trip to go to for a week, and my diabetic cat needed his insulin shot twice a day while us being away. I'm so lucky to have found someone who truly cares, is trustworthy and with the experience needed to administer medication which gave us peace of mind during our trip. She did everything as instructed, provided pictures of my cat and messaged me on a daily basis. I HIGHLY recommend Serena to care for your pet and cannot thank her enough for giving the best care to Charlie! We thank you so much Serena! - Grace and Charlie
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!
Thank you so much, Michelle! I loved being able to leave town and feel like my kitties were in great hands. My confidence was not misplaced. Michelle did a great job of communicating and following my instructions for feeding my 5 cats. I would totally recommend her!
We had a great experience with her! She responded quickly, was reliable, and took excellent care of our cats while we were away. Our pets clearly felt comfortable with her and seemed very happy. Everything went smoothly, and we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again.
Just got back from a short vacation where Ashley watched my three cats and she did a great job! We had an issue with getting into my condo but she spent a whole 10 minutes making sure she could get in to take care of them. My cats are shy but after the first visit all of them had come out of hiding and photos and updates on the status of their food and water litterboxes were given after every visit!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,668 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
