About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.
“Sofia was wonderful with our little pups. When she came over to sit she brought them a little treat bad which was really sweet and you can tell she has a love for dogs. She took good care of them and communicated well. Her responses were all very immediate as well which gave us a peace of mind while we were out. Highly recommend!”
“I can't recommend Dianne enough! My cat, Peanut, is extremely shy and anxious around people, but she made her feel completely comfortable and cared for. It was clear that Dianne has a genuine love for animals and knows how to approach even the most nervous pets with patience and kindness. I felt confident leaving my Turkish Van cat in her care and will absolutely be booking again!”
“Miranda was wonderful, as always. We had a flight delay and she was patient with our late arrival. Miranda is always so sweet to our pugs and makes us feel so comfortable leaving town.”
About: Hello my name is Alejandra! I have been a veterinary technician for 6+ years and have 10 years of experience in pet care. I am a loving and compassionate person and have a soft spot for senior dogs and bully breeds. I am a firm believer that pets are a huge part of the family and should be treated as such! I am currently a stay at home mom but have a flexible schedule. With my job history I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and exotic or pocket pets. I am able to medicate and administer injections and perform nail trims (if your pet will allow me to trim nails) . I am available for pet sitting in my home, or dropping by your house for playtime/walks or feedings. I look forward to hearing from you!
“Jada was wonderful with our dog Max. She kept us posted with pictures and updates which we greatly appreciated. She also took good care of our home. We have already booked her again!”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life including a pet rat. For some reason animals tend to like me and I like them as well. I have had to put down three pets in the last two years, very hard thing to do. I had 4 dogs and two cats, sadly down to one each. I’m retired and available anytime during the day. If there are some odd hours it can be discussed. If you pet needs me to walk them and or clean a litter box that will be no problem. I will be glad to send photos during my visit if needed. My yard is fully fenced with rod iron fencing, if the dog is small they might get out but doubtful. I prefer not to keep your pet at my house at this time.
“Kristina was wonderful! She took great care of Fritz and did a lot with him everyday! Walks, car rides, and kept him happy and busy. The house was spotless when we returned and she left a wonderful thank you note, too! Will definitely use again and can't recommend her strongly enough.”
About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including professional dog daycare and veterinary hospital experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or attention. I’m experienced with exercise, enrichment, feeding, medications, basic training, and monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I worked in a veterinary clinic throughout the summer and am now starting school, so my availability is more flexible around my class schedule. I’m unavailable on most Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m willing to work around it from time to time. I’m available most other weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that works best for their pets! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine in every visit. My veterinary and professional animal-care experience has taught me how to safely handle pets with different temperaments, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to behavior, follow care instructions closely, and will keep you updated throughout each visit.
“Sam was wonderful coming over and sitting with Barney. It was his first time away from his humans and fur family. In addition to us just moving to a new home, Barney is kinda skittish anyway, but Sam was great! She checked on him multiple times a day, kept him well fed, fresh water and a clean litter box. We are certainly glad we met her and will happily use her again for future needs!”
“Everything was great. Kelley communicated well throughout the process, including sending regular photo updates about our two pups (who both really seemed to like her). And she went beyond expectations in leaving the house in good shape. Zero issues. Highly recommend.”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have developed a strong understanding of the daily responsibilities involved in caring for dogs and cats. From maintaining feeding schedules and exercise routines to providing companionship, basic grooming, and monitoring their health, I am dedicated to ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and well loved. Taking care of pets is already a natural part of my everyday life. I have 5 pets of my own, so I’m used to making time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and don’t see pet care as a chore. I’m happy to work their routine into my day and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I like to learn their personality and what makes them comfortable so I can give them the care and attention they’re used to. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their home, I make sure they have plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and lots of love.
“Annika did a wonderful job watching our two cats, two dogs, and kitten while we were away for five days. Our household can be a bit chaotic with that many animals, but she handled everything beautifully and went well beyond what we expected. We received updates multiple times a day, and when we returned, the house was in exactly the same condition we’d left it. She even took the time to wash the towels and sheets she’d used, something we hadn’t asked or expected her to do. One of the nicest surprises was finding the personalized notes she’d left about each of our animals, describing their personalities, little quirks, and how they’d behaved while we were gone. It was genuinely a treat to read through them, and such a thoughtful way to wrap up our trip. It’s clear Annika takes pride in what she does. We came home to happy animals, a spotless house, and the feeling that everything had been in good hands. We’d absolutely trust her to look after our home and pets again, and can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I know pets are family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I provide regular updates, photos, and Rover Cards so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m reliable, responsive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of different personalities, ages, and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication reminders, or extra attention, I’m happy to help! Working remotely allows me to take short breaks throughout the day and take a few minutes to refresh. Having a pup to come with me makes it all the more enjoyable! I have a fenced in yard and a screened in porch, my kitties like to sit there with me to watch the birds and take a quick nap.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Worth
Lily was a great pet sitter. She was very attentive and I felt very relieved to be able to travel comfortably knowing our babies were being well cared for while we were out of town. Lily immediately bonded with our four dogs upon meeting them. I definitely recommend booking Lily for your pet sitting needs!
Jennifer was amazing! She watched our pups for the weekend and kept us updated with pictures and messages and was also respectful of our home. We appreciate her caring after the dogs and will definitely keep her at the top of our list for next time we need dog care!
We love Abigail! This was out 1st time that she took care of the pups and I will absolutely use her again when she’s available. Abigail stayed with them Friday thru Sunday. Gave them their meds like I asked. She sent us pictures throughout the days and in all the pictures the dogs were so happy you could tell.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Worth is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $49 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
