“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!”
“Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!”
“Thank you, Deanna, for taking care of our three dogs over the last couple days. Everybody was in good spirits when we got home. The dog seemed to enjoy spending time with you. We look forward to using you again when we travel.”
About: I’ve looked after multiple dogs of different breeds and sizes so I have experience looking after nearly all kinds of dogs. I am capable of also looking after multiples dogs at once, truly caring for them, and playing with them. My wife and I will spend our time and efforts to make your dog feel at home. As I have dogs of my own, it will fit like a glove as I will be caring for your dog alongside my own. I will treat your dog like my own. Dogs are very important to me regardless whether it’s my own dog or someone else’s. I will make sure that dog is safe and feels cared for in any environment.
About: I adopted a Maltese poodle mix from a shelter when she was 10 years old and cared for her through her senior years, up to age 17. She came from a rough background and didn't trust anyone at first, so it took real patience to earn that trust. Over time I taught her commands, potty-trained her, and helped her feel safe again through her senior years. That experience taught me how much consistency and gentle patience matter for dogs who need extra support, especially seniors or pups recovering from a hard start. I believe animals show us what unconditional love looks like, and what it means to earn it. I would be so excited and honored to be a part of ensuring the happiness and well-being of you and your pup's lives! I am available anytime after 4:30pm Monday through Friday! On weekends and holidays I am usually more open/available so can definitely be more flexible! During walks, I'll bring extra water and a small bowl for your pup in case they need it. If you're able to provide potty bags, that's a big help — but if not, I'm happy to bring my own, no problem at all! I always maintain distance between your dog and any others we pass, since you can never predict another dog's temperament or reaction. Your dog's safety is my absolute top priority, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable and secure throughout the walk.
“Valerie graciously stepped up for our very last minute cat sitting needs during the holidays and we’re so grateful! She took great care of our curmudgeonly senior cat who seemed to really like her. She sent daily updates and photos and spent quality time with him. She even watered our Christmas tree. We’d gladly book again.”
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 so I prefer sitting for dogs that can be left alone for 6-8 hours at a time, 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.
“Melanie was amazing! She sent detailed updates with pictures and videos. We were so relieved to have her dropping in on our kitties while we were out for the weekend. It made it possible to enjoy ourselves and know they were happy. I could tell she was great because our one kitty warmed up to her and not only were we excited but, Melanie was excited too and sent photos and videos of them getting closer over the days. She also helped us out with watering our little garden and we were so grateful! Thanks girl!”
About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. I love staying active and going on walks so I can adjust to your pets needs and wants. I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats, old and young. I am a graduate student so on off days I am able to spend time just hanging out with the animals as needed. I am currently attending graduate school. I am completely free most weekends and Mondays with a few exceptions. I am available to stay nights for dog sitting and am free in the late afternoons all week. I can follow any instructions given for each pet. I know each pet may have different needs and can adjust as needed. If pets have routines I will work my best to ensure to keep them on track and can crate in needed.
About: We are a Mother (Brooke 44 yo), Dad (Joe 51 yo) and 2 kids (Clementine 9 yo and Indigo 6 yo) who care for your pup with kindness and fun! Cauliflower, my childhood dog, was one of the joys of my life and now, I get to share that joy with my kids by taking care of your beloved pet. We are a flexible, homeschooled family willing to take jobs during the day and on weekends. We value slow living and try our best not to overschedule our lives, leaving room for opportunities like pet care. We have a loving home and can cater to your pet’s needs. We love giving your pet exercise and play time which comes effortlessly for our 2 kids :)
About: With years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all size from tiny companions to larger, energetic breeds I’ve developed a natural connection with dogs and treat each one like family. 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM (Daily) This schedule allows me to provide consistent, focused care during the hours when dogs benefit most from exercise and attention. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, starting with my own at age six, and have continued caring for and walking dogs of all sizes ever since. From small, delicate pups to larger, high-energy breeds, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and dependable, always making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy on every walk. When you trust me with your dog, you can count on them being treated with the same care and respect as if they were my own.
About: Along with cats, I've had a dog growing up, and a lot of family members also have dogs. I just love being around animals in general more than most people lol. I always enjoy being around animals, and keeping them company. I'd be that introvert at a party who is playing with your dog or cat instead of socializing. I am currently working full time, and am looking to enjoy one of my favorite hobbies with a new friend. I'm mostly available in the evenings. I will care for your fur babies in any manner you request. During my visits, I will clean after them, play with them, and give them company if you are away especially for an extended amount of time.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Homestead
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!
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.

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.
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 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.

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.
