Paige was the best dog sitter ever. She took care of our large dogs like they were her own. We would highly recommend her and definitely use her again. She gave us tremendous peace of mind.

Katie was a delight. She was very comfortable with our older lab and made him comfortable. She was very responsive and helped us on short notice. We will definitely have her take care of loved one in the future!

Rebekah was incredible. So kind and professional. She took great care of our pups at our campsite so that we could enjoy a few hours in Key West without worrying about them being too hot in our RV. She took a lot of care and provided great updates. We highly recommend her. Thank you, Rebekah!

About: We have been living in Mexico for the past few years so that's why you don't see any recent reviews. We are returning to our Key West home in May 2026. Our 2026 Key West availability is mid-May through October. We have a fenced yard and I work at home so around most of the time. Our 3 labs have all passed over the rainbow bridge so this is how we get our doggie love these days. I volunteer with the Key West animal shelter and have also volunteered while in Mexico (those are dogs with a rough life). Both Gary and I are experienced dog owners, and our midtown Key West location is convenient. We are friendly but firm with the dogs and welcome your well-behaved, adorable pooch. We are flexible with drop-off and pick-up hours within reason. We are also super cautious with security and do not leave dogs outside in the yard while we are gone. Get in touch, we would love to hear from you. We have a fenced yard so there's some outside play space. I do not leave dogs unattended outside just to be on the safe side. We are both retired, so we have flexible schedules for playtime, walks, etc. Morning and evening exercise with the dog will be standard, unless you tell us otherwise. Our yard is fenced and we are diligent about never leaving dogs in the yard if we are gone from the house. If we're not there, they are in the house.

About: I have been taking care of animals for all of my life since my childhood. I have a genuine passion for dogs and cats and understanding their behavior and needs. Years of experience with animals have also given me an understanding how to handle dogs safely, including basic training commands and how to manage potential risks. I spend a-lot of time at home so the dogs or cats will have all of my attention all the time, the only full time shifts that I have are 3 times a week, they are 5 hours long, I have found that this time gap is still very convenient for having a doggo in my house, as I walk them right before and right after my work. During this time they are always ok and safe at home. My home is dog and cat-friendly and safe environment. Also I dont take animals from different homes at the same time so the animals dont feel threatened and “own” the space. Also I dont cage them, they are allowed to sleep on a bed with me. I have a yard but it is not fenced so for the safety reasons I only let the dogs walk there while on the leash. But for their walks I prefer the long walks along the Atlantic boulevard or surrounding areas (depending on how much they need or can walk)

Emily was an amazing sitter! We left our pup with her for about 6 hours, she kept sending us updates and pictures throughout his stay,we got our first update within 20 mins of dropping him off. Our pup was a little anxious at first since it was his first time away from us, Emily did her best to ease him by taking him out for walks, playing with him and keeping him occupied.

About: My husband and I just moved from Michigan to Key west, with our cat Marshmallow. Having a beloved dog who just unfortunately passed away, I have become more experienced in senior animal care due to her needing more support in the months before her passing. I have had a pet in my home since I was a child and have grown up pet sitting for other family members. I am currently going to college online for an Associates degree in Exercise Science. I am generally free throughout the weekdays, but take the weekends off in order to spend time with my husband. Please feel free to reach out, as my schedule is flexible and I can make exceptions. Your pet will always be treated as it is my own. Similar to how my pets are always fed, hydrated, played with, and loved. Your pet will receive the same treatment.

About: I’m an experienced and dependable pet sitter with over 10 years of caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m a hardworking, attentive caregiver who deeply loves animals and treats every pet as if they were my own. As a marine biologist, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and enrichment, which helps me provide thoughtful, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I love providing animals with energetic walks, playtime, or just companionship, and I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I am currently working full time, 9am-4pm M-F! For my doggos, I typically take them on a short walk in the morning before work, and then I will take them on a longer evening walk and have some play time with them as well to ensure they are receiving enough exercise! Depending on your location, I can stop by during my lunch breaks (12pm-1) to check on them! I have a part time job as well 2-3 days a week that is typically 4pm-10pm, but I am always able to stop by and take them on a walk prior to heading to my second job and can leave briefly as well if needed! My first priority is ALWAYS your animal and their wellbeing, so whatever you and your fur baby are comfortable with I will make happen. While in my client’s home, I always, always make sure that your animal’s health, safety, and comfort are prioritized above everything else. I will stick to schedules that they are used to and comfortable with, and will ensure that I am giving them enough love, attention, and exercise while you are away! I like to have a meeting with you and your animals prior to watching them to get an idea of their behavior and their environment. I know some animals can take a little while to bond or may be extra anxious, so I take it slow while I am in their home and make sure that they do not feel threatened or concerned by my activity or presence. I will always treat your pets as my own, and will love them just as you do!

Trischellee did a great job with my dog and cat. She sent me pictures of my dog playing with her and her dog's toys. It was obvious she was happy. When she visited my cat (who is very shy) she was clever in developing a routine with treats to be able to see the cat. No other sitter has ever done that. She is responsive and animal behavior savvy.

About: I have several family members who have trusted me in the past to take care of their pets. Pets are family, and to some people they are children. In my care they will be treated as such. I am currently stationed on Naval Air Station North Island, and cannot have a pet of my own but would love to take care of yours. I am fully available in the afternoons. I work full time in the Navy but usually get off around 11-12. I can be pretty flexible for your needs as long as I am off of work! Communication is key. Communicate what your pet needs and I will provide just that. I prefer clients home, because your fur baby will feel more comfortable in the comfort of their home. Anxiety is real, especially for animals.

About: I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely treat every pet like my own! I’m great with puppies; routine, training basics, and gentle structure. I’m equally comfortable caring for seniors who need extra calm and comfort. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, so you can trust your pet is safe, understood, and truly cared for!! This isn’t just a job to me; I love creating a happy, peaceful experience for every animal I meet! I am working part time, so I am flexible to fit the timing and needs of you and your pets! Weekdays are the best bet for me, weekends can be a little tricky! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m in yours, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment! I follow your routines closely; feeding times, walks, potty breaks, cues, and any training you’re working on! Your pet will feel safe with me! In your home, I keep things tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles of course! When it comes to sitting in my own home, I have a golden puppy, under a year; also a cat, so sitting in my clients home would be my best option!

About: I have many years of house and pet sitting experience, along with a genuine love for animals and a calm, dependable nature. I have over thirty 5-star reviews outside of Rover, so please inquire and I am happy to email them to you. I only provide overnight pet care in your home because it keeps your pet(s) happy in their environment. I take pride in caring for every home with respect and every pet with patience, affection, and attention to their individual routines. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart. I cared for my own beloved cat through his senior years, as well as my family's elderly dog. Over the past four years, I've also completed several house sits with senior pets, and I understand the extra patience, gentle care, and consistency they often need. My calm, quiet demeanor helps older pets feel comfortable and secure. As an empty nester, I enjoy a simple, flexible lifestyle that allows me to combine my love of travel with caring for pets around the world. Whether I'm staying in a quiet village or a busy city, I love exploring on foot, using local public transportation, and spending time near the water whenever I can. I bring a strong work ethic, excellent organizational skills, and a proactive approach to problem-solving, so you can feel confident that both your home and your pets are in capable hands while you're away. I work remotely, so reliable high-speed internet is important during my stays. My work is quiet and flexible, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day. I look forward to meeting wonderful people, caring for their beloved pets, and creating another successful house-sitting experience for everyone involved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I'm home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, walks, playtime, feedings, and cuddles while keeping pets on their normal routine. Whether it's a local visit or an extended house sit, I enjoy giving pets the attention and consistency they need so they feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight or extended house sitting while pet parents are away. I believe pets are happiest and least stressed when they can stay in their own home surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. I care for each home with the same respect I would my own—keeping it clean, organized, and secure—while giving every pet plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and companionship based on their individual needs.

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!

Charlie did a great job with our large dog. She came over twice before the live-in visit started to make sure she was comfortable and knew all of the Ins and outs of her routine and the house. Bailey loved seeing her and went out for a walk with her while we were still here with no hesitation. The house was left clean like we left it. I will definitely ask Charlie if she is available next time we go out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Key West

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Key West on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 65 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Key West. 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 Key West 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 Key West 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 Key West 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.
