About: I've been watching family, friends and neighbors dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and horses for over 20 years. I started taking care of fur babies full time in 2019 and absolutely love all the pups and parents I've been lucky enough to meet and keep relationships with. I do my best to help with any last minute vacation plans go more smoothly. I only watch ONE DOG in my home at a time (unless they live together) as I can monitor their food intake, their stools and give them one on one attention they love so much. That rule also includes any Meet and Greets, I will only schedule them on days I don't have a doggy guest. I've learned that it's way too much stress for all parties. I allow them on my furniture and will adjust to the specific dogs routine or training as directed. I made a special dog tag that says "Call my pet sitter Kristi if found" w/ my phone #. I put this on every dog I watch just in case you have an escape artist. I live alone in a duplex home on the main floor (my entrance is in backyard) with a patio and partially fenced in back yard (I will be putting a gate so it's fully fenced). I have a Maine Coon cat (Hashbrown) that is very chill and won't chase or try and play with your pup. If either her or your pup is uncomfortable with the other then Hashbrown can be moved to a separate area. I do this full time and try to make any appointments when I don't have a fur baby here. They will be spoiled and loved like my own while they're here. I have a fenced yard for quick early morning potties then typically 2 long walks a day. I send pics/video at least 2x/day so you know you fur baby is happy.
“Yimei was GREAT. Highly recommend. She went above and beyond taking care of Lucy, my 15 year old very needy cat! Lucy was very well taken care of. Yimei also communicated promptly after every visit.”
About: I’ve had dogs nearly my whole life and now a cat! I volunteer at Humane Animal Rescue and have specific training for dog walking. I am trained to walk both strong dogs and shy dogs I do work full time and am a part time student so I’m looking for a lot of random flexible gigs while I’m off of work I’m comfortable entering homes to leash any dogs or provide care for drop ins. I’m skilled at getting my cat to take nasty meds as well
About: I’ve cared for everything from ferrets to birds, frogs and Guinea pigs - cats and dogs are easily my fave but I love all animals equally. My schedule is flexible, daily availability with at least a couple days notice usually works - my entire family (fiancé, 23 & 16 year olds, the first two also have Rover profiles) help make caring for your pet even easier as we all bring our different experiences and love of animals to every Rover assignment I accept. Quality of life for all pets is the most important aspect of providing care because I know that all let’s live in the present moment - my objective is to give your beloved animal friend the best care they can get while I’m on the clock!
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, so I love taking care of them. I have had puppies in the household as well as older ones as well. I have walked, cared, fed, and bathed pets before so I do not mind. Seeing a dog always brighten ups my day! I am currently a student-athlete at college so my schedule can be a little weird sometimes. I’m free in the early mornings, around lunch time, and later in the evening! On the weekends I am free all day. I will always take them on a walk, however long that may be. I will care and give them love, as well as feed and play with them!
About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 12, when I got my own dog. Since Moose entered my family I have fallen in love with the joy dogs bring to a home. I'm an avid walk taker and am looking for a companion to join me! I am a newly postgrad professional who is trying to fill my newfound free time with walks and pets! Growing up with two dogs of my own it has been quite the adjustment to no longer have company on my daily walks. I’m looking forward to spending time with your furry friends! I will ensure your dog is safe, whether that is in your fenced in yard or on leash. I will also make sure to discuss your furry friends specific needs before care.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I’ve also been involved in animal rescue groups and have helped care for feral cat communities. I have two fur babies of my own, so I know how stressful it is to find someone trust worthy of caring for them. I currently work full time, so I am only available in the evenings and weekends. If you are in desperate need of a pet sitter I do have some flexibility to work remotely, but would need to give advanced notice. I respect other people’s property/ belongings, so you can rest assured I will treat your home with the utmost care along with your fur baby.
“Elizabeth was absolutely AMAZING! She took such great care of my fur babies. I got to fully enjoy my vacation because I knew my cats were in good hands. We can't thank Elizabeth enough 😊😊😊”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs and fish. As an adult I’ve personally cared for 1 large dog (Rottweiler/Pitbull/Labrador) and 2 cats. The dog was a troubled rescue that I trained and then found a permanent home. I help with my mother's aging Cocker Spaniel and share in the care of my partner's 3 cats. I run an eBay store, Door Dash on an ADV160, tend to Duolingo’s headquarter’s plants. My schedule is very flexible. When hired for house sitting I turn off my availability for drop-ins and walks. I live with 3 cats at the moment, black, white and grey. It’s like dancing to a meowing grey scale. They are spoiled, but just enough.
“Not only was my cat well cared for but Jessica treated Tigger with a love and affection that goes above and beyond. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a pet sitter and will absolutely book her again next time I’m traveling”
About: I had a dog for 13 years and he was my best friend before he passed. It heals me to be around other dogs and care for them because they are our family. I ensured he was well cared for, loved, and catered to anything he needed. I am diligent with following tasks, time management, and have a genuine love for dogs. Whatever instructions are given, they will be followed. I will go above and beyond to ensure your fur baby is well cared for. I will also give daily updates if needed. I am currently a full-time graduate student, but my class schedule is consistent each week. I work online on the side as well, but that job is pretty flexible. If anything changes throughout the semester, I will update my schedule. Also, I’m in my last semester, so my availability will become more open after December 2026. If specific directions are left for your pet, I will go above and beyond to follow those instructions. Let me know how I can best accommodate you and your pet.
“Becca did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away! Booking was such a smooth process. She was on time every day, and she sent daily photos and videos. Would definitely book again.”
About: Hello! I work from home so, the dogs are under constant supervision. I will only be watching one dog at a time. I have a cat who likes to keep to herself. I presently work from home so I will be able to provide your puppers constant care. I love taking dogs on long walks around Lawrenceville! Fenced in backyard. pups will get plenty of exercise playing with me and going for walks. I understand the trust that owners are placing in me to care for their most loved pets and take that responsibility very seriously. I love and treat the dogs I watch as if they are my own🧡
About: Hi, I'm Sam! I've been dog walking and pet sitting on Rover since 2022, and I grew up with pets my whole life — birds first, then dogs — so caring for animals has always felt like second nature to me. I also sit for cats and am comfortable administering medication. You'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I send photos and updates every day, and more if you'd like them. Before every visit/stay, I'll want to know exactly what your pet needs, from their routine to their quirks, so they're comfortable while you're away. I work a hybrid schedule, so on weekdays I'm typically out for a few hours during the day, and your pet's routine (feeding, walks, downtime) stays consistent around that. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority, and I love building an ongoing relationship with the pets I care for. I'd love to meet you and your pup (or pets!) soon. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule, so I have time to give your furry friend the love and attention they need! Drop-ins and walks fit easily into my day, and for house sits I'm usually out for a few hours at a time, so your pet's routine (feeding, walks, downtime) stays consistent around that. I'm very receptive to the needs/wants of the owner and am also quite good at judging when furry friends are unhappy or stressed. I'll follow your instructions closely, send updates and photos, and reach out right away if anything is unclear or seems off!
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs & cats since could remember, around 10 years plus. I have pets of my own and they are my world. One dog named Luna and a black cat named bean! I own my own cleaning business and make my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility\! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your fur babies and work around their routines and needs\. 🐾 I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and locations whenever possible! I live in a safe & quiet neighborhood, in a apartment in Edgewood area. I love all animals and would treat yours like my own.
About: I was born around Golden Retriever and my family currently has 2 Portuguese Water dogs, so I’m well prepared for the high energy pup and the frantic pups. I always take a patient perspective when it comes to the dogs and cats I care for. They are their own animals and understanding that allows them room to express themselves, so I can best care for them! I love animals and volunteer at various animal shelters to support my community. I dedicate full days each week for pet care. I make sure these days are free in case my clients need a more focused care. I work part time during the week, but am incredibly flexible which allows me to meet many pet care needs! I provide love, connection, food, water, walks, some cleaning of pet areas, etc. Whatever you would normally do for your pet I will oblige and assist you in that way

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Homestead
Adisyn was an absolutely ideal dog sitter!! I would recommend her to anyone; she was 11/10. I was extremely anxious about leaving my dog who is very fearful and skiddish, but Adisyn knew just how to take care of her and was very calm and patient and kind. I could tell she had a lot of experience and joy working with dogs. My doggo warmed up to Adisyn right away and even seemed to miss her after I got back! Adisyn kept me updated on how my doggo was doing and followed all instructions very thoroughly. My doggo and I had the best experience with her!
Valerie is a conscientious and loving pet sitter and my dogs and cats love her visits. She maintains good communication both before and during visits so I feel comfortable leaving my pets in her capable hands. She goes above and beyond and I trust her with my 2 dogs and 2 cats.
Erin was highly communicative and dependable. She took great care of our two large, high-energy dogs while we were away. She asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she a thorough understanding of the dogs and what they needed. We would happily work with Erin again!
David was an incredible find! We have never done this before but he was patient and helped us figure out how we wanted our animals to be taken care of with an immense level of kindness and understanding. He was a great fit for us and took great care of our special needs dog. We cannot recommend him enough!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Homestead is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $32 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 2,530 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Homestead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
