“Maria was a great sitter for my cat Ron. She was constantly providing updates and photos of my boy. Additionally, she ensured that Ron was kept comfortable and stress-free while I was away. I totally recommend and will definitely book again in the future!”

About: Hi! My name is Camila. Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been caring for animals. From saving baby ducks without a mother, rescuing a handicap kitten, to even watching wild lizards hatch from their eggs - I’ve always been in awe of animals. I gained extensive experience during my Veterinary Assistant program in high school. While interning at an Animal Hospital, I learned how to administer medications, bathe dogs, comfort them, and keep their spaces clean. I also learned the importance of reading an animal’s body language and pay attention to their needs. I have been dog sitting/house sitting since 2015. I have cared for big fluffy dogs, small dogs, senior dogs, and plenty of cats. I know that every animal is unique and has different needs. I’ll adjust to your pets lifestyle and make sure they stick to their routine. My passion is for animals, and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I’m currently available everyday. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them the attention they deserve! I currently offer dog walking services, drop in visits, and house sitting in your home. ** disclaimer** House sitting service is your fur babies staying in the comfort of their home, I do not stay overnight in your home. I get there as early as 7am and tend to their personal needs. However, for safety and privacy, I sleep in my bed and make my rounds in the morning. My dog and cat are my children. They sleep with me every night and have different beds for them to sleep in downstairs and upstairs. They each have a basket of toys and my cat even has a cat tower and a cat room where she can relax. If I would sit at a clients home, I would love to chat with you so that I can follow your pets routine. I do believe animals should roam free, so while they are with me, they will be receiving loads of cuddles and play time.

About: I’ve taken care of my 6 year old matlipoo and just recently brought home a cocker spaniel puppy as well as two stray cats, I care for them very much Im currently working from 1-5pm monday through friday but i can always make them in the morning or later at 6pm. On weekends I am mostly free all day unless I have to get called in for work. I live in an apartment and have one puppy that is being crate trained but is very playful, so if you need to crate train your dog I can provide that service as well as any other activity your pet needs.

About: I've always loved animals. I willfully care for my friends pets even when they don't ask lol. I see it also as free therapy for me. It's truly a blessing that we have animals to help and comfort us through life. I had a needy great dane I was deeply in love with. He was a huge priority for me so he was very spoiled. Pet care helps me with my depression as well so I take it very seriously. I had a great dane in a one bedroom unit. His name was timber and he was the sweetest and laziest dog ever. He loves all animals, even birdies. He used to have a cat friend who would clean his face while he just laid there enjoying every second of it 😆

About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for and build strong relationships with a variety of cats and birds over the years. When friends or family have needed to travel, I’ve also cared for their dogs, typically for trips of up to two days. These experiences have helped me understand the different needs and personalities of each pet, while reinforcing the importance of patience, consistency, and providing attentive, reliable care. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention. I’ll follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and doing well.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, including my own Doberman, which has given me experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering medications, bathing, brushing teeth, and providing plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve walked dogs for other families and have experience caring for pets while owners are away. This includes feeding, refilling water, cleaning up messes, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their families are gone. Friends, family, and pet owners often tell me that I’m very patient and gentle with animals, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and caring, treating your pets with the same love and care that I would give my own. ❤️ I am very flexible and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I typically stop by at least three times a day to feed, walk, and check on pets, making sure they are well cared for and comfortable. I am currently looking for a part-time job, so I have plenty of availability and time to dedicate to pet sitting and spending quality time with the animals. I will not be available from July 1–23 due to a trip to Europe, but outside of those dates I am very open and reliable. I provide attentive and reliable care in the client’s home to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walking routines, medication, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, and receive regular exercise, playtime, and affection during each visit. I also keep their space clean by picking up after them and making sure their living area is tidy. In addition to basic care, I focus on making pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away by giving them consistent attention and companionship. I am very observant of their behavior and well-being, and I will communicate with the owner if I notice anything unusual. My goal is to provide dependable, caring service so pets feel as comfortable and loved as possible in their own home.

About: Hi, I’m Mari! Animals have been part of my family my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve had three Dalmatians, a Dachshund–Chihuahua mix, and a Pomeranian, so I know how different every dog’s personality can be! I’m currently a proud dog mom to Eve, my sweet Dalmatian. 🤎 I have volunteer experience with the Humane Society of Greater Miami and have rescued both cats and dogs. I’ve also boarded dogs in my home and provided house sitting in their own homes. These experiences have taught me to be patient, pay attention to each pet’s needs, and give them time to feel comfortable with me. Now, I’m building my own pet sitting business, Mari and Eve Pet Care, around something I truly love. Whether your pet enjoys playing, going on walks, or simply having someone nearby, I want them to feel loved and cared for while you’re away. As a pet parent myself, I know how much it means to find someone you feel comfortable trusting with your baby! 💕 During their stay or visit: I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, favorite activities, and little quirks. Care can include walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and quiet time, depending on their needs and the service booked. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can see how your baby is doing! 📸🐾 For house sitting, I’ll follow your care instructions and respect your home while keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar surroundings. What I’d love to know about your pet: Tell me a little about your baby! What do they love, what makes them nervous, and what helps them feel comfortable? Please share their feeding and potty schedule, sleeping habits, allergies, medical needs, and any behaviors I should know about. For care in my home, I’d also like to know how they feel around other dogs, since I have Eve. Let me know if this is their first time staying with a sitter so we can talk through what would help them settle in. For boarding, please bring their usual food and any familiar items, like a favorite toy, bed, or blanket. I’d love to arrange a meet and greet so we can get to know each other before their stay! 💕 Open availability Mon-Sun. I will walk, feed, play and bathe your pet as needed. And love them and take care of them like I do with my dog, Eve. ☺️ I will make sure with the owners to meet their pets’ dietary needs and buy them the necessary food to meet those needs. If they are a dog, I will walk them according to their walking needs. I will also have new toys for them to play with. If they are a cat, I will have carpet pieces for them to climb and toys as well. If the pet needs a bath or to be taken to a vet/training/playdate appointment I can do that as well. ☺️

“This was my first time using Rover and was so happy I found Raquel. She made me feel 100% comfortable with the process. She provided daily drop-in visits for my senior cat, sending me numerous updates, pictures and videos. I really appreciated her high-level of communication, especially as a first time user. Lewis(cat) was well taken care of. She even vacuumed up the tracked litter so I didn’t come home to a mess. We will be using her again in the future!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, and for the past 4 years I’ve been caring for dogs through walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’ve looked after dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies who need patience, structure, and plenty of play, to senior dogs who do best with a gentle pace, extra comfort, and close attention to their needs. I adapt my care to each dog’s age, energy level, and personality. That might mean a long, active walk for one dog and a slow stroll plus some cuddle time for another. Spending time with animals is genuinely fun for me, and I want every dog I care for to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to follow your routines and keep you updated on how your pup is doing Working from home gives me a flexible schedule that makes pet care a natural part of my day. Pets staying with me get my company throughout the day, with regular breaks for walks, potty trips, meals, and playtime built around my work. A typical day starts with a morning walk at the park next to my house, followed by breakfast and some downtime while I work nearby. Midday brings another walk or play session. Evenings are for one more good outing, dinner, and relaxing together. I’m happy to adjust this to match your pet’s usual routine, energy level, and needs. Since I’m home most of the time, I can easily fit in dog walks and drop-in visits for clients, and I always plan my week so that every pet in my care gets the time and attention they deserve. Because I work from home, pets staying with me are never left alone for long stretches. They get company, attention, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. My home is calm and pet-friendly, and I make sure it’s safe and secure before every stay. I have a friendly cat who is used to living with both dogs and cats, so most pets settle in easily. If your pet needs their own space, or if they’re still getting comfortable, I can keep them separated so everyone stays relaxed and stress-free. There’s a huge dog-friendly park right next to my house, which makes it easy to fit plenty of walks, exercise, and outdoor play into each day. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routines closely, keep your home secure, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My experience includes caring for animals in a hands-on farm environment, along with providing attentive, responsible care for pets with different personalities and needs. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to detail. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and individual needs rather than treating every pet the same. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise, cleanliness, medications when applicable, and any changes in behavior. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply needs some extra companionship while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel secure, loved, and at home. I currently work part-time in the mornings for about four hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings. I’m able to accommodate pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other care needs around my schedule. I’m flexible and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and the owner’s preferred schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their instructions and routines closely, including feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after their pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, giving affection and companionship when they’re receptive while also respecting their boundaries. I currently care for the cats around my residence by providing food and fresh water, giving them affection when they’re comfortable with it, and cleaning up after them. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect.

Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She had great communication and told me when she was leaving and had arrived each time. She also gave me details of every visit, as well as many pictures. She also was very tentative to my elderly cats needs, including giving him medicine daily. She was very respectful of my house, and asked many questions to make sure that my cat was comfortable and had the best experience while I was gone. It was very evident that she truly cared about his needs, which means a lot to me because he’s like my child. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Homestead Base

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Homestead Base is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $26 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 November 2026, there are 413 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Homestead Base. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Homestead Base. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
