“We had such a great experience with Robert. From the beginning communication was excellent. He was quick to respond and made sure to understand all of our pups needs and routines. While we were away he sent regular pics and updates giving us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. It was clear that they were happy and well taken care of. We came home to a clean house with two happy and relaxed dogs. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone who wants to make sure their dogs are treated as his own. Definitely a five star recommendation 😊.”

“Anna was really attentive. She provided daily updates that included pictures. She made sure that Spirit was well taken care of while I was away. I was hesitant to book her considering her previous review. But she was very matter of fact with me and why she received that review and she more than made up for it with me. I would definitely book her again for any future services.”

About: I have had many dogs since I was born and have owned many animals including hamsters and snakes. I have treated minor illnesses in dogs before and know multiple emergency vet offices nearby. I am comfortable giving medicines and keeping strict routines and diets. I excel in reading animal body language and understanding and avoiding triggers. I attend College classes Mondays and Wednesdays. I also have a part-time job that I work Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. I usually wake up around 7:30 and have a relaxing morning to myself. I spend my free time at home doing school work and hanging out with my dog and cat. I have a 3/4 acre lot with a six foot chain link fence. I have a Shar-pei American Bulldog mix and a Domestic Shorthair cat, both do well with other animals and can be contained if the need arises. Animals get fed twice a day, 1/2 a cup each morning and evening for the puppy and 1/4 cup each morning and evening for the kitty. The animals are let out freely as we have a screened in pool with a dog door. Toys are preferred but if your baby likes the dog park I know of many and am willing to go with them. Animals are not allowed on the furniture but can get plenty of snuggles on the floor!
About: I have years of experience caring for pets. I am a trustworthy sitter who will absolutely make your pet feel safe and loved. My job as a sitter is to make you feel comfortable to relax and to know your fur babies are in good hands while you are away. I make it a point to send you several photos and a detailed synopsis of every visit. I am also willing to help care for your plants and take in mail/packages while you are away. My priority is to make sure that your pet is getting the care that they need while you are away. My schedule is tentative to change. Please message me about availability concerns and I will do my best to accommodate. Communication is super important to me, so if you have any concerns or requests please reach out to me! :) Animals tend to tell you what they need. For example, if they need to get their energy out they give you a toy. I am familiar with these signs and I am very attentive to them because I adore animals so much! Because I love them so much, I will always make sure they are safe and comfortable.
“This was my first time using rover and Kimberly did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs. She took the time to come over and meet them before hand to make sure it would be a good fit. During the time I was away Kimberly sent me pictures and kept me updated to make sure my dogs were doing good, which kept me and my husband at ease while we were away. I would highly recommend Kimberly to anyone in need of dog watching!”
“Taylor was amazing!!! Shortly after she arrived, our senior dog became violently ill! Our family was either already on a plane to the West Coast or already on the West Coast. We felt very helpless! Taylor kept an eye on him as she communicated what was happening. She was more than happy to take him to the vet hospital. (Thankfully, he was OK after some fluids and meds.) She handled everything with grace and compassion! She did a great job of taking care of our five month old puppy and our cat, as well! We are so very grateful!”
“Tommy took great care of our golden while we were away. Such a nice guy - Received a photo and update each day. Our pup was happy and could tell he was well cared for while in his home. Definitely recommend and will be using again when out of town.”
“Chudleigh and I adore Gemar. He shows up on time even 10 minutes before his time scheduled. He is very reliable. He stayed at my house for an overnight. I feel very comfortable with Gemar and I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Lori was simply amazing. She went above and beyond taking care of our fur babies! Our house was nice and clean when we came home too! We will definitely use Lori again !!”
“Olyssia was the perfect person to watch our babies! They have never been left with someone they were unfamiliar with before, but from the moment she met them during meet and greet, we knew she’d be perfect! She was so attentive to them and their needs, and was so fantastic with communication with us! She sent so many pictures that definitely eased our minds while we were gone. Our animals loved her so much and warmed right up to her! We will definitely rebook with her in the future. ☺️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Indian River Estates
Amanda house sit with Fabio for a week while I was on vacation. She was great with my shy little guy. She visited with him before the sitting and he was relaxed and comfortable with her. Amanda is kind and caring and Fabio sensed this right away. While I was away she kept in contact with me with messages and pictures which I appreciated. I returned home to a happy little guy. I definitely recommend her if you want to have piece of mind that your babies will be well taken care of while your away.
Very happy to have found Janet. She has a nice soft way with our dog and cat. She communicated with us extremely well and we were very happy with the overnight house sitting she did for us. We will definetly be using Janet again when we figure out our next adventure.

FAQs for House Sitting - Indian River Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Indian River Estates on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 593 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Indian River Estates. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Indian River Estates walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Indian River Estates maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Indian River Estates 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
