“I always know that Asher will be SO well cared for by Mackenzie. It’s such a relief when I am out of town to know that my girl is in good hands! Thanks, again, Mackenzie!!!”
About: Experienced and reliable pet lover, recently moved from the Hamptons to Florida. I’ve cared for dogs for years and love treating every pup like my own. Your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well-loved while in my care!
“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!”
About: I have always loved all types of animals. My family has bred, trained, and shown multiple different breeds of dogs. I’m very good and training all different breeds and well known to have the best behaved dogs. If I had it my way I would have a ranch full of all different types of animals. I’m very gentle and normally can read dogs and go at their pace for training or care. I love to walk dogs and play with cats. I no longer have a pet of my own, but wanna fill that void by watching over you alls. I’m pretty open and love to just spend time with animals. I have flexible schedule and can work remotely right now. I can focus on each animals individual timely needs. I’m a pretty ocd individual and like to keep things tidy and clean. I start the day off with walk then feeding animals. Play throughout the day. Afternoon walks and then dinner and more play time. Depending on animal they normally can sleep with me as well.
“Christen was amazing with my pets! She sent me updates at least three times a day for house sitting. I appreciate her professionalism, communication, and love for animals. Will be booking again!!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from riding horses to having dogs as part of the family. I regularly help care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, whether through daily walks, pet sitting, or just giving them some extra attention when needed. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like my own. My schedule is pretty open right now! I’m happy to play with your pup until 7 PM, give them walks, attention, and plenty of love. care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable. I don’t take pets to my house, and I always keep a close, consistent eye on them to ensure their safety and well-being.
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.
“Morgan was so great!! She watched our 9 month old pug for a whole weekend while we were away for a wedding and we felt so comfortable and happy with her! She sent updates and took great care of our pup and our home! She left the house clean and tidy and kept our angel happy! Thank you, Morgan!”
“Jahari was wonderful with my special needs dog, Costi. Costi has a lot of anxiety especially with new people and Jahari was so kind and calm with her. She stayed overnight at my house when I was in a pinch and had to go away last minute. She sent a lot of picture and text updates so I never had to worry or wonder if everything was ok. I will definitely be using Jahari again. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I enjoy caring for animals and playing with them. I regularly watch my sisters, Rottweiler and Pitsky mix. I grew up with dogs, love their company!! I’m currently looking for new opportunities. Looking forward to meeting the doggies and puppies and creating a bond !! Happy to help out when needed! Will follow any lists or rules by owner, I do have a fence backyard, can take them out on leash if it’s more comfortable for the owner.
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.
“Matt was fantastic! He stayed with my older dog for several.days. So attentive and respectful. Communication was definitely a priority for him. He gave daily updates and pictures. I would HIGHLY recommend Matt and plan on using his services in the future!”
About: I had two dogs growing up I loved so much. My friends and family run to me when they have any type of dog service needed as they know I love animals. I have done plenty of walks, overnight services, and drop-ins. I adore dogs so so much and have a strong passion to give them top quality care as if they were my very own! I walk, sit, and board dogs full time. I take pet care as a seriously job. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and in between! I have open availability and aside of that am a stay at home mom. I recently moved away from my childhood home where we had to dogs. But I would go on walks with them every single day and took care of a lot of their daily needs. I treat every single dog as if they were my own. I truly believe dogs are not just pets but are family members who deserve the same level and care as a child.
“This was my first time using Rover. We have an older dog, 13 years who hates being alone; since we were heading out of town for my daughter's wedding, we needed someone to stay with Taz overnight for 2 nights. Susan responded to my request right away and agreed to meet Taz beforehand. The meet and greet went well and we were assured that Susan and Taz would get along just fine. Knowing that Susan was with Taz and caring for him gave us peace of mind, and we were able to enjoy the wedding without worrying what was going on with Taz back in RI. Knowing we can rely on Susan in the future is such a relief and benefit. Would definitely recommend Susan to anyone looking for a sitter.”

Andrea was incredible. Super kind and professional- and incredibly communicative about my dogs, house, everything. She treated my girls like they were her own and they didn’t even notice we were gone! This anxious pet parent would definitely recommend Andrea and will be using her again.

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.
Camila was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Star. From the moment we connected, she was kind, communicative, and clearly a true animal lover. She took such great care of Star for the day and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camila kept us updated, was attentive to Star’s needs, and treated her like her own. It means so much to know your pet is in good hands, and Camila exceeded our expectations. We’re so grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend! 🐾✨
Jonathan and Giannina were wonderful with Mister MacDuffin. They were attentive, communicative and it was clear that he was comfortable and happy in their care. This was my first trip away from him using Rover, and they truly put me at ease. I would gladly book with them again for in house sitting, boarding or daycare. Thank you both so much!

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Worth is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 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.

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 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
