“Abby did an amazing job with Charlie. We would definitely recommend her and will use her again if we're in the Key Largo area. She beat me to communication every step of the way, was timely in showing up to our place to watch Charlie and sent us videos and pics throughout the day. I have nothing but good things to say about our first experience using Rover. Thank you Abby! We know Charlie was in good hands and his long nap this evening shows he had a great time while we were out.”
“Diana did a great job with my elderly dog. She was gentle and calm and knew how to make my dog comfortable while I was gone. It’s such a relief to find somebody I could trust, especially when your dog is aging and not doing as well.”
“Our first time using Rover, Britton made us feel at ease & was super responsive on our instructions and loved on our girls. We will deff use her again! Thanks so much!!!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful 🤩 she sent pictures and messages letting me know everything was all good at home. It gave me peace of mind so i could enjoy my trip. Thank you Beth Luv, Belle, Jax, Gary and Tara”
“She was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in caring for Sandy as if she were her own. She made sure Sandy got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and it was so clear that she genuinely cared about her happiness and well-being. Her daily updates were thoughtful and detailed, always including the sweetest pictures that instantly put my mind at ease. I could tell Sandy felt completely comfortable and loved, which meant the world to me. What truly stood out was her attention to detail and kindness; she didn’t just care for Sandy, she also took the time to leave the house exactly as I left it, which was such a thoughtful touch and really showed her professionalism and respect. It’s rare to find someone who combines reliability, warmth, and genuine compassion so effortlessly. I’m beyond grateful for the care and love she showed us. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in the best hands possible. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her again — she’s truly one of a kind!”
“We had four young golden retrievers in our daughter’s wedding. Kyle did a fantastic job helping us watch them during the wedding and taking care of them for the night during the reception. We will definitely book again when returning to Key Largo, Thank you for keeping our babies happy and safe Kyle!”
About: I have home with fenced in clean yard. I am good with training and gentle with puppies and senior doggies. Lots of love!! Clean home! I am retired stay home and have plenty of time for caring for little dogs. I keep my home and yard very clean and give doggies love and attention. I live one story home no stairs to climb. I have one small dog and a senior cat of my own that get along with other dogs.
About: My wife and I provide dog sitting, dog walks, drop in visits for multiple families in the Upper Keys area and have three fur babies of our own. We have been dog sitting for several years and have provided care for a multitude of canines, from dog walking services, fostering, and boarding. We are willing to take all canines that are well-mannered and play nice with others. We are also willing and able to care for puppies and older companions. I also provide obedience classes for shelter animals, puppies, and adoptions who need help with simple tasks like crate training, walking on a leash, sitting, and house training. Pet care is already a natural part of our daily routine. My wife and I work as a team, which gives us flexibility to make sure pets get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. We enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for additional pets fits easily into our lifestyle. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for just like they would at home. We’re a husband-and-wife team and longtime dog owners ourselves, so caring for pets is already a big part of our everyday life. We have three dogs of our own and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. In our home, we focus on creating a relaxed, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and downtime. We treat visiting pets like part of the family while still following the routine and rules their owners are used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we’re respectful of both the pet’s routine and the home. We follow feeding schedules, walking instructions, medications or special directions provided, keep things clean, and make sure pets get plenty of companionship and attention. Having two of us also means an extra set of eyes, extra attention, and more flexibility when caring for your pets. Most importantly, we want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for by people who genuinely love animals and will treat them the way we would want our own dogs treated.
About: I've never not had at least one dog or cat growing up. Experience with caring for many types of dogs and cats within all ages and sizes. I am currently working as a freelancer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets on which ever days and times you need. I can easily crate dogs if needed. Can follow a set feeding schedule or free feed pets. I am used to having high energy dogs and cats that want to play all the time so can definitely entertain them with lots of toys, walks and company.
About: I have had pets and cared for them my whole life. Have always enjoyed the love they bring into a home and giving that love back to them. I raised and trained my German Shepard. I have cat sit and walked my dog in various different environments. I work as a RN three days a week. My schedule is different every week but I have flexible availability. I work every other weekend. I walked my Dog 4 times a day around my neighborhood. She is fed twice a day. Both my cats are indoor cats who also get fed twice a day.
About: Hi! My name is Albert Hernandez! I'd be taking your furry friend for multiple walks a day and feeding them according to the schedule you give me. I've had dogs my entire life, and I even grew up on a farm! (we had six dogs!) I love dogs and really appreciate having them as company. I'm currently a full time student, with all of my classes being online, so I have plenty of time to take special care of your family friend. It is a pleasure to be able to take care of your fur babies and making sure they truly enjoy their stay away from home. From years of experience my girlfriend and I know how to make sure your pup feels at home.
About: I’m a huge animal lover and the type of person who will absolutely stop to say hi to every dog I pass. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. I’ve been watching dogs and cats for years for friends, family, referrals, and people I’ve met along the way, and I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. Growing up, my family helped with dog rescues — and still do today — so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. I also have experience with longer-term care and have watched pets for entire summers (up to 3 months at a time), so I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away and make sure they are happy, loved, comfortable, and cared for. I know leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can genuinely feel comfortable trusting with your pet. I would be so excited and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and your pet 🐶🐱. I work from home remotely a lot and am able to take full care of your pets on the weekends and most weekdays. It is a hobby/job for me because I love animals so much! I treat everyone’s pets like my own. Growing up, I had cats, dogs, horses, and every animal you could think of. I would love to have an animal now of my own, but I travel often!
“Not only did Lisa help me in a pinch last minute but she was thorough and reliable from the start. Leaving your pup is always stressful, but Lisa made it as stress free as it could possibly be! I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life (29yrs old). I have helped countless families and friends take care of and train their pets. I am an animal lover to my core; your pet will always be in safe hands when in my care. I DO NOT PROVIDE SERVICES FOR PET OWNERS NORTH OF THE FLORIDA KEYS. I am exclusive to the Florida Keys and can provide services from Marathon to Key Largo. As a retired Air Force veteran, I have a lot of time on my hands. I am available Monday through Sunday at any time needed. I am here for your pet! I can crate your animals if needed, take them on walks, let them play outside (if you have a backyard), and I will give any amount of love and stimulation to the pets if they want it. I can follow any diets or diet restrictions that your pet may be on. I can also tend to disabled animals as well. Anything that you and your pets may need to feel the most comfortable.
“I highly recommend Grace! She has great communication with photos and updates every day. She went above and beyond when my flight home was delayed. We will be using Grace again.”
About: I have been a dog owner for 15+ years, caring for them through puppy age all the way to being a senior. Thank you for letting me help take care of your sweet furry friend! I am free to care for your pet all days of the week since I am between jobs at the moment and have full flexibility. I have a five year old Welsh Corgi at home, and I do not have a yard. I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Islamorada on Rover is $96.3 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 39 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Islamorada. 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 Islamorada 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 Islamorada 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 Islamorada 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
