About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve raised and puppy-trained dogs, have experience with exotic animals, and understand that every pet is different. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m free all day Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I only work a short evening shift, and on weekends I work until about 4:30pm. That leaves me with lots of time to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My apartment community has a fenced dog park for safe outdoor play, along with plenty of sidewalks and green spaces for walks. While my apartment is on the smaller side, your pet will have lots of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and one on attention during their stay.

“Toni is amazing! Excellent with communication and you can tell she’s an animal person right away! Kala warmed up to her very quickly and she sent us pictures and updates from the time she got to our home to when she left. Our home was left in excellent condition and every instruction followed perfectly. We will definitely use her in the future and Kala has a new best friend ☺️”

“I truly cannot recommend Eduardo enough! If I could give him more than five stars, I absolutely would. I’ve actually been a dog sitter myself for many dogs over the years, so I know what I look for in someone caring for mine. This was my first time leaving my 14-year-old and 4-year-old dogs with someone who wasn’t a friend or family member, and I was also traveling internationally, so I was definitely a little nervous going into it. The second I met Eduardo, though, I immediately felt at ease. My dogs took to him right away, and from the very beginning it was obvious how attentive and detail-oriented he is. He asked thoughtful, specific questions about each dog—their routines, personalities, quirks, preferences, and what makes them comfortable. He genuinely cared about keeping their normal schedule and making their time with him feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Our dogs are relatively easy, but one does have some anxiety, especially during storms, and Eduardo handled him wonderfully. What impressed me most was how well he seemed to understand both of their individual personalities in such a short amount of time. He didn’t just make sure they were fed, walked, and taken care of—he genuinely spent time with them, engaged with them, and made them feel comfortable and loved. And the updates were AMAZING. They were detailed, thoughtful, funny, and came with the best pictures. With every update, I felt like I was getting a little glimpse into their day rather than just receiving the standard “dogs are good!” message. You could genuinely see how happy and relaxed they were in every photo. He picked up on all of their little nuances and personality traits, and somehow managed to capture them perfectly. Even while I was thousands of miles away, I still felt completely connected to what they were doing and how they were feeling. Funny enough, my husband and I were on two separate trips that weekend, and both of our groups had friends who also had dogs at home with pet sitters. We were each sharing Eduardo’s updates with our respective groups, and EVERYONE was blown away by him—especially compared with the updates they were receiving from their own sitters! By the end of the weekend, Eduardo had basically developed a fan club of people who had never even met him. 😂 He was also incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to everything exactly as we had left it and, most importantly, to two very happy, relaxed dogs who clearly had an amazing weekend themselves. There is such a huge difference between finding someone who will simply take care of your pets and finding someone who makes you feel completely comfortable being away from them. Eduardo is absolutely the latter. The peace of mind he gave us was invaluable, and I never once worried about whether our dogs were safe, happy, or getting enough attention. I would recommend Eduardo 100 times over. He is attentive, trustworthy, communicative, responsible, kind, and clearly genuinely loves the animals he cares for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him and will absolutely be booking him again. Anyone who gets Eduardo as their sitter—and any pet who gets to spend time with him—is incredibly lucky!”

About: I have around 20 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages, including dogs with conditions such as dementia, incontinence, and semi-blindness. I have raised kittens and care for adult/senior cats. I understand that our fur babies are our family! My schedule is very flexible since I work part time in the hospitality industry. Weekdays and weekend availability, including daytime and nighttime. Regular or intermittent. I will go to client homes as my adult cats don't do well with new friends in our home. As I am part of a law enforcement family, rest assured there isn't a concern for your safety/trust, and I take my own safety/security very seriously.

About: I have always owned a dog and or cat and at present my 2 daughters and I have two tabby cats who have their own private room away from any fur friends we entertain. Currently working at home and homeschooling my 2 girls 11 and 12 years who are dog and cat lovers. They are very helpful and attentive and enjoy keeping our fur friends happy and well cared for. We take lots of walks on A1A or at the beach, we also visit parks for walking lake Osbourne and lantana nature preserve. My 11 and 12-year-old girls love to play fetch and teach tricks. Lots of dog owners in our condo by the beach all responsible and on a leash, my daughters and I take regular walking breaks for fresh air and play having a fur baby tag along is always fun.

About: I love, love, love dogs, and aside from having many of my own previously, I now love taking care of others. I am great with both active and sedentary types, all shapes and sizes. I am loving, confident and very familiar with dog behaviors (as I have spent years training mine and others), so I am a solid pack leader. I can offer soft and gentle snuggles or fun and activity- either if fine. I am comfortable with various diet preferences and schedules (even home made foods). I am available for play-time and walks, feedings, medicine, pet cleaning jobs/tasks, overnight boardings or errands. I do have a full-time job, and depending on the day I can be at work for 8 hours and sometimes longer, and other times I work shorter shifts and times are more flexible. I am available most days and am able to adjust my schedule with advance notice should it be needed/required. I have lots of free time outside of work and live near areas with long walking trails and beach access. I am happy to spend time outdoors seeking activity and adventure or staying inside where its quiet, cool and calm. No matter how the time is spent, I can assure that the time will be enjoyed. I do not have a yard- so outside of walks or outdoor adventures (which I am certain to provide many should you desire) your pet would be indoors with me. There are no young children around or other pets. My home is quiet, secure, clean and safe.

About: I am a fitness coach who loves staying active outside and having a dog myself I know how important it is for pups to get their exercise in! I love to take them on different paths to allow them to explore! I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and having to commit to taking care of them. I'm comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them! I would love to take them to places they can interact with other dogs while you're away! I have a pup of my own - a chocolate labrador retriever who are full of crazy energy and curiosity! Pets always come first in my book, whether it’s feeding or walking, they take priority first! I always make my schedule around my dog Lola, no matter what! If I’m at the gym, I make sure I’m not there for long so then she can go out and get exercise! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. I always make sure there’s clean water every time I come into the house, making sure toys are put away and making sure doors are shut where dogs can get into such as bathrooms or trash cans!

About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal—whether you need a regular midday walk, a drop-in while you’re away, or someone to settle in with them overnight. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and give you one less thing to worry about. With 20 years of my own pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. Whether I’m there for a 30-minute visit or making your home my home base while you’re away, I take the responsibility seriously. That means thoughtful care for your pets, respect for your home, and attention to the little details that help everything run smoothly. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands—whether I’m part of their everyday routine or caring for them while you’re away. And yes, they’re probably getting a few extra cuddles along the way! I am self employed so I have the ability to give your pet all the time and focus it needs. I routinely walk my dog at the local parks and around the neighborhood multiple times daily and could easily do the same for your puppers or kittens too. I care for my cat daily with lots of play and petting too. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and any special instructions specific to your pet and home. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated along the way, and pay attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pets and your home are in good hands.

I am a graduate student doing my first year online and looking to save money before moving to campus :) I am currently a full time graduate student. I will be fully online working from home for the first year before moving states to continue my education. I am looking to save money using my experience as a veterinary technician while doing something I love! I live in a 3 story town home 2 miles from the beach and a short walk to a park and the inlet! I have one cat living in my house but have an agreement with my roommate for her to be in a separate room during boarding stays if necessary. I am currently studying remotely for my first year of graduate school and am able to provide care from my home or yours on a flexible schedule.

About: Hi! My name is Jesse, and I’m a 21-year-old college student with a passion for staying active and helping others. While I’m new to Rover and don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and attentive to details. I currently work in customer service roles where communication, punctuality, and creating a positive experience are essential. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, overnight care, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a student with a flexible class schedule, pet sitting fits easily into my week. I have plenty of open time for mid-day drop-ins, feeding, walks, and evening visits, making it easy to accommodate your pet's routine. Whether visiting your home or caring for your pet, safety and clear communication are my top priorities. I follow all feeding and care instructions strictly, keep living spaces clean, and send regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8, I took care of them and was aware of them because they were the pets of my mom's friends or simply my own friends In my day to day my schedule would be based more on the afternoons to be able to do all my work and also my college, then I would have availability any weekend and also during the week either late or night I pay too much attention to them, I'm not one of those people who look at the phone a lot to be important, so that makes it easier for me to be able to pamper, play, feed and put my attention 100% to your pets and obviously make sure they are well without doing any damage

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both. I currently have five cats and a dog, have successfully potty trained two puppies, and have helped care for cats through four different births and their newborn kittens. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, so fitting in walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins comes naturally. make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe and at home while you’re away.

I cannot recommend Megan highly enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my little girl, Sil, and gave me something that, under the circumstances, was priceless: peace of mind. Just a few days before Megan cared for her, Sil had undergone major surgery to amputate her entire front leg. Needless to say, I was extremely hesitant to leave her alone, especially with someone she had never met. From the very beginning, Megan put my mind at ease. She came over for a meet-and-greet the day before, listened carefully to my concerns and instructions, and made sure she understood exactly what Sil needed. What impressed me most was how genuinely caring, attentive, and dependable Megan was. She followed my instructions perfectly, treated Sil with the kindness and attention she deserved, and made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier. There’s a big difference between finding someone who will watch your dog and finding someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. Megan is the latter. I’m genuinely grateful to have found her and would trust Megan with Sil again without a moment’s hesitation. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to the animals in her care. Thank you, Megan, for taking such wonderful care of my little girl!

Kylee was an excellent and reliable pet sitter for my dog Sandy. From the start she was a pleasure to communicate with and answered questions with ease. She has a calming presence and a few minutes spent during the meet and greet assured me of her knowledge and confidence. She spent two days and on night with our pup and was communicative, kind and attentive to my dog’s needs, following our directions to a tee and gave us updates along the way. Having a dog with medical issues can make finding a reliable person scary but Kylee executed the medication administration with ease. Would highly recommend and use Kylee again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Worth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Worth is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $98 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 October 2026, there are 2,471 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Worth. 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 Lake Worth 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 Lake Worth 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 Lake Worth 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 , 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 .

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.

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 .

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.
