“We have used David several times and he is great. He keeps us updated about our dogs, sends texts and pictures to let us know how they are doing, and he is very easy going and excellent to work with. One of the best people I have worked with on Rover, would recommend him to anyone and is my first choice when I need someone to look after my dogs.”
“Erin took great care of my cats and sent me tons of photos and videos of them playing. I can tell everyone was well cared for and got plenty of attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
About: Hi! I’m Ryan, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and other pets. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention, patience, and affection that I give my own. I currently share my home with a spoiled cat who runs the household, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable when you’re away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is flexibility. I work remotely, which allows me to provide daytime drop-in visits, quick check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m also available during evenings and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Safety, patience, and positive interactions are always my priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions, and I provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.
“Abriana took the best care of our Samson. He can be very shy especially when away from us and we could tell through all the pictures of videos we got throughout the stay that he was comfortable with her. Abriana took great care of Samson and kept us updated all weekend.”
“Meghan has been wonderful with our puppy and older dog! She took the time to bond and gain the puppy's trust. She is very knowledgeable about animals and gave us lots of tips. We've enjoyed having really enjoy our time with Meghan, and so do the pups!”
“Cailynn was so great with our puppy!! She was always super quick to respond and super flexible with her schedule to make sure she could make time for him. A bonus she always got the silliest pictures of our guy . Highly recommend”
About: I have experience with all dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior, with experience giving daily medications in the form of pills, ointments/creams, and injections. I love hanging out with dogs and always follow feeding/walking schedules as requested. I am a PhD student so I work outside the house and won’t be home all day when house sitting but I have a flexible schedule and can sometimes work my schedule around to fit the care of dogs and cats etc with enough notice. I enjoy spending time with animals so I’m always willing to adjust my schedule. I have taken care of pets in their home for extended periods, most commonly over holidays. I’m always respectful of the home and animals, ensuring that I don’t overstep on their territory and I like to leave the home as clean as I found it.
“Any took great care of our three little kitties. She sent photos every day, and I could tell that the cats really loved her. We recommend Amy, and we will call on her again!”
About: One always wanted to have a dog of my own so taking care of other pets wood help me experience what I’ll need to know annd do when it’s the right time to have my own dog. I work early in the morning, after work I have nothing better to do besides take care of my family and my vehicles. I love to go to the park, travel, and go out to eat. I’m usually in the house in a safe and pleasant neighborhood, if I do go outside I’m either working, walking throughout the trail at our park or grabbing something to eat!. I rest assure everybody in my neighborhood doesn’t see me often only my neighbors. I honestly like it that way, it does protect us from what can possibly happen outside but I’m always protected and protective about everything!
“Keilah is a great pet sitter! I have an extremely shy and anxious cat and somehow she got him to come out and play a little and even got a photo of him giving her a kiss! I was shocked! I recommend her for any pet needs and will absolutely be going back to her.”
“Disha was perfect with Kaos - he’s a shy boy but he warmed up to her immediately and she did an excellent job watching him while I was away for the weekend!”
About: I worked as a Kennel Attendant for 6 years and I was the Assistant Manager The Dog Stop. I have watched a lot of cats and dogs at clients houses as well so i’m familiar with in home pet sitting and walking. I have a full time job so I’m available varying times throughout the week and weekends, but i will always be sure to take care of the pets i’ve committed to caring for. I have one friendly dog at home and a fenced in yard for dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I also have a closed off large area for dogs that would rather not interact with other dogs. In a clients home I will be vary attentive to your pet and respectful of your space.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, reptiles, fish, and ferrets. I even started my own small pet sitting business when I was younger and ran it for about two years, caring for pets for neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, flexible, and very comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels, from playful young dogs to older pets that need extra patience and attention. I’m active, good on my feet, and willing to spend plenty of time with pets because I understand how important companionship, consistency, and attention are for them. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time while figuring out my plans after graduation, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays on most weekdays and weekends. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I always make sure they get plenty of care, exercise, and companionship. I currently only provide care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’m comfortable following specific instructions for feeding, medications, walks, crates, routines, or special care needs. I currently do not have any pets of my own, which can help pets that are sensitive to other animals or unfamiliar smells. I always aim to keep pets safe, relaxed, and well cared for while keeping owners updated and informed.
“Kathryn was great with our cats (who warmed up to her faster than their usual), communicated super well, and was fastidious about care and cleaning. Would love to work with her again!”
“Justin was great to work with overall. I used him to take my dog out while I was at work and he texted me updates during the visit and took pictures as well. He also documented a summary of the visit and left my place exactly as I found it. I would highly recommend him and use him again if I need him.”
“Thank you Hayden! She went above and beyond my expectations caring for Lola. I am one of "those" dog mom's and she made me feel completely at ease. I look forward to booking Hayden again!”

David again watched our two large, energetic dogs for a long weekend and did a perfect job. He was highly communicative and always punctual. He went above and beyond by taking our younger dog for a walk, rather than just letting him play in our backyard. We will absolutely book with David again!
Lucas was excellent with all of our animals! Not only did he care for everyone expertly but he left the sink and pet dishes clean and orderly (not expected but very much appreciated!). He also handled medication for our elderly cat, which is a sigh of relief for when we go on weekend adventures and short trips (something we used to not be able to do before finding helpers such as Lucas :) ).
Tracie is incredibly reliable and I love that she sends lots of pics. Tracie can buy before our arranged sitting time to meet the dogs. I have two dogs- one of whom can be intimidating with her bark. Tracie was completely unfazed and my dog warmed to her immediately. Highly recommend.
Tony has been a consistent high performer when it comes to the care of our dog. I appreciate how in tune he is with our dogs' needs. He not only provides basic care giving, but also love and affection for our pup in my family's absence. I highly recommend him.

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.
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.

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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Homestead with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
