“First time ever leaving my dog alone and I’m so happy with how this all turned out and she is an amazing dot sitter. Would definitely use her again if I left my dog alone.”
“Thanks Stella for staying with Toby during our wedding weekend! He had so much fun and was happy as can be when we came home. Stella was on top of everything and very respectful of our home. She kept us updated on Toby the whole time we were gone and put us at ease. We plan to use her for all of our out of town trips!”
“As always, Vanessa is second to none when taking care of our Doods and our home. She allows us to have a worry free trip every time. The photos and communication she sends daily give us great comfort. She treats our home and dogs as if it were her own. Thanks Vanessa.”
About: Aside from loving and raising dogs with my family my entire life, I am now a a dog mom to two adorable babies, Mochaccino and Lady Lemon. I have also been a proud foster dog mom to four dogs, which have all gone on to find their forever homes. Through fostering, I have gained experience in caring for dogs with special health needs, dietary restrictions, and unique temperaments. I have cared for a young and senior dogs for family and friends, as well as a litter of puppies. I work remote so I have an open schedule during the week if your pet requires special and timely care. I also have an open schedule on the weekends. I am currently in San Diego for the summer and offering services here. I have huge backyard for zoomies and sunbathing. My pets get supervised outside time in the backyard several times a day, and 30-minute to 1-hour walks twice a day. My dogs are mainly indoors and are allowed to free roam, and hang out on furniture, these rules will apply to any pets I care for, but I can also crate if needed - most of the foster dogs I have cared for have been crated. I have worked with drop-in visit clients, in which I have visited and walked their pets twice a day on the agreed days and times.
“Denys was great with baloo I was able to see at times they got along well and he had plenty of good walks, I came back from vacation and baloo looks in great condition and also well fed...denys followed our instructions well and was very respectful of the house environment ,I highly recommend denys to anyone who wants excellent care of their pets...again thank you Denys and rover for this great experience!”
“These guys were really marvelous. Very nice people who truly love animals and took such amazing care of my nervous little dog. Maisie warmed up to them super fast during our meet-and-greet. They were very patient with her; she is lovely but just scared of everything. They sent lots of photos and updates, and Maisie looked super happy with them. It allowed me to really relax on our vacation, knowing Maisie was being truly loved and cared for. Can't put a price on that!! I already booked them for our next trip. They are super responsive, left the house immaculate, and went above and beyond. Really A+++”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, giving me a natural understanding of their needs. I am the biggest dog lover ever, I would do anything for them. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or offering gentle support to older dogs, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My work is fully remote, so I have more than enough time to properly care for and be with your furry friends. The only times I wouldn’t be available are the times I travel, but other than that, when I am home, I can dedicate most of my time to caring for your pets. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I currently have no permanent pets due to my travel schedule, which is why I’m so excited to care for pets while I’m home. My beautiful, spacious resort-style apartment is incredibly pet-friendly, with plenty of outdoor space to play and explore. With stunning views of a waterfront marina walkway, pets can enjoy peaceful walks and fresh air. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for!
About: I have a genuine, deep love for all pets in this world… mine have been the most important part of my life. When my baby kitty Lenny crossed the heavenly rainbow bridge last year, Gideon and Einstein rescued me. My focus is specific and consistent: “What does your best friend need? How can I provide this need to them? Is the environment low stress? Your fur babies are so important to me because I truly understand how important they are to YOU. Having no human children myself, believe me, fur babies are EVERYTHING! I put my absolute best effort into making sure your pet feels safe and experiences the least amount of anxiety as possible.

I make sure to have every day fulfilled with at least a little bit of furry affection or my day just isn’t the same! I have a pet-friendly, pet-safe, pet-happy home! Making sure all the fur babies in my home have what they need is “what I DO!” My sweet cat Gideon couldn’t get more nurturing! He’s very healthy, independent and gentle with his guests”!

“Nicole was excellent! This was the first time we have ever had an overnight house sitter and she did a great job taking care of our two male Shar Peis. She even came by a couple days in advance to meet them briefly so that they would be comfortable with her on the actual evening!”
“As always, Sharon was fabulous with our pup during an in-home stay. Sharon is kind, considerate, and caring. We are always so grateful to Sharon for the updates and the tremendous care of our dog-reactive pup. We look forward to having Sharon watch our pup again!”
“Madison was wonderful. I came last minute to go to the UM game. My little guy gets super anxious. She was available super last minute. She was professional and Banks was immediately calm with her before I left. Id recommend booking with her.”

It fits into my routine because everyday I walk my dog missy around our neighborhood. I feed her around a certain time, give the food time to digest then take her for a walk let her get everything out her system and let her enjoy leaving her scent and seeing the other dogs in our neighborhood. I have a fence/gate around my house in case a clients pet isn’t friendly or good around other animals. I have a personal area that their pet can be able to enjoy.

About: Note: In the Miami (Aventura/North Miami) area through 11/23. Hello, Rover world! My name is Gerardo, and I am the proud human to the two best dogs in the world, Elle and Tayter Dot, and recently adopted two kittens, Lisa Frank and Polly Pocket. I am here to find fun playmates for my girls by hosting your pets. Since I'm already a pet parent, I'm already doing the pet routine - feeding, walking, playing, etc. Adding your pup to the routine will be pretty natural as a result. Hubs and I work from home, so we are actively spending time with your dog no matter what! We ask that your pet be housebroken. If they have a crate, we can add that to our routine, though our girls have full reign of the house. (It's their house, I just live in it.) Your pet can expect fresh water, a clean home, an absurd amount of toys, a yard to run in, and lots of treats. (Maybe also a weird excited pet voice...sorry not sorry!) For the safety of all involved, we require a meet and greet as it is our best way to vet how your dog will get along with ours. I do my best to walk the girls more than once a day. We are regulars at various trails and greenways, as well as hanging with other friends and their dogs. My spouse and I are attentive to the needs of our girls, and will treat your dog like one of our own. You can expect your dog to be loved on, with lots of fetch in the yard, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats for all. We also both work from home so your dog will have human and canine company through their visit.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ives Estates
Nicole did an amazing job taking care of Dior! He absolutely loved her, and it was clear that he felt happy and comfortable in her care. Nicole is such a sweet, kind, and caring person. I would absolutely trust her to stay with Dior again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone wonderful to care for their pet. Thank you so much, Nicole! ❤️
Naomi and her husband did an absolutely, positively AMAZING job taking care of my animals! I honestly couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. I’ll be completely honest — I was very nervous about having someone I found through an app come into my home and take care of my animals. It’s a big thing for me to trust someone with my pets and my personal space, so I had a lot of hesitation at first. But Naomi gave me such a sense of reassurance and comfort from the very beginning. She was so kind, understanding, communicative, and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. They went above and beyond to make sure my animals were happy, comfortable, loved, and having fun. Knowing that they were being treated with so much care while I was away gave me such peace of mind. You can genuinely tell that Naomi and her husband have a true love for animals and treat them like their own. They were respectful of my home, attentive to my animals, and made the entire experience so much easier than I ever expected. I’m honestly so grateful I decided to trust them. They completely changed my perspective on using Rover, and I would absolutely have them take care of my animals again without hesitation. If you’re someone who is nervous about letting a stranger from an app into your home or trusting someone with your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Naomi and her husband. They were wonderful from beginning to end, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my babies! ❤️🐾
Herbert was extremely communicative and proactive when it came to caring for my 3 cats! He sent daily updates and was sure to ask questions when any concerns came up. He followed all directions and went above and beyond to make sure my pets felt cared for. Very grateful for his service and I will be booking him again in the near future!!
Izzy watched our senior cat, dog & frog for a week and was amazing! Highly recommend her to everyone. She sent daily pictures and even took our pup to the beach and on different adventures. They all loved their time with her so much and my wife and I fully trust her! It’s never easy letting someone new into your home but she was the perfect fit. Thank you Izzy! 10/10 experience
10/10 would recommend! Eliza went above and beyond all expectations this weekend for my dog and I. She asked all the right questions prior to her stay which was an immediate green flag. My dog is very cautious and sensitive around new people. Eliza used techniques to familiarize and comfort my dog. I recommend her to anyone, she is professional and her love and knowledge with animals shows in her work. She sent me lots of pics and updates, was flexible when I had to adjust my schedule. So glad I found her!!
We had an excellent experience with Diana. She was punctual, and so sweet. She stayed in our home for several hours, and we felt completely comfortable having her in our home. Our dog usually doesn't engage immediately but she was truly patient and understanding. We will absolutely book her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ives Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ives Estates is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $93 per night. 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 4,353 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ives 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 Ives 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 Ives 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 Ives 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ives Estates. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
