“Marianne is an angel and I did not worry about my girl’s care while we left her and our home in Marianne’s care. We are all blessed to have met Marianne and to have engaged her pet sitting services for our senior girl. Highly recommend in every way!”
“Shaneka was great with my cats! Very patient and understanding when Maizzy took a bit to warm up to her and eat! The house was very tidy and litter cleaned when we got home which was nice. Shaneka followed all instructions and made sure Theos had his meds every morning. I didn't worry at all and will definitely have her sit for us again! I highly recommend Shaneka, reliable, trustworthy, punctual and great with the cats!”
“Ryan has now watched my elderly rescue for a few trips I’ve gone on as well as dropped in for day visits and walks. He is extremely professional, attentive, and warm with her and I am so lucky to have someone that I can trust with her care. I recommend Ryan 100000%.”
“Nicky was the most professional person. Arriving a few minutes early to ensure he got everything he needed done prior to arriving (securing parking, front desk reception etc.). Asked thoughtful questions about the care of our dog. Checked in throughout the day, and ensured our dog was walked throughout the day. Our dog LOVED him And even gave him her paw (which she only does when she is comfortable). You could tell he truly cares about dogs/animals. Anytime Nicky is free we’d love for him to sit our dog Bagheera any day. Could not ask for a better sitter.”
“Nydia responded promptly to my request for dog sitting. She came to meet us right away for a meet and greet . We discussed a schedule and and went over pancakes routines. She came every time she promised she would sent lots of pictures. She put my mind at ease knowing my pancakes was being taking care of well we were out of town. I will be scheduling her again for my next trip out of town.”
“I was looking for someone to not only look after my dog, but my two pet lizards also. People want to take care of dogs but not non-for pets. It was difficult to leave my babies for a week.Mafalda went above and beyond. She loves on her babies like you would want them to. I received photos and videos every day, letting me know my babies were happy. Each pet got love and attention, which means the world to me.I am so thankful to have found her.”
“Sandy is great with my 16yr very demanding girl 🐶 It was so nice to not have to worry about a thing while I was away and come back to a clean house and happy dog”
“I’m what they would call a helicopter parent. It’s very hard to for me to leave my dog with anyone because his anxiety is really bad. Larissa did a fantastic job! She must us feel so comfortable with constant updates, pictures and more. We will definitely be rehiring her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all kinds ever since I started babysitting kids. From walking to overnights, I enjoy hanging out with your fur babies very much and would love to help you with any pet needs! I’m currently working full time, M-F 9-5pm. I am available for early morning or nighttime walks during the week or any needs on the weekends. Open to overnights at pet owners home! I have a fenced in dog area at my apartment as well as many nearby parks and safe sidewalks in my neighborhood. Any sittings at your home will be treated with respect and care!
“Marissa took wonderful care of our house and three dogs. The house was clean when we returned, communication was great throughout the stay, and it was obvious our dogs were well cared for and loved on while we were away. We came home to happy pups and total peace of mind. I have already booked her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m very patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. Each day includes feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, training, and health checks, with weekly grooming, cleaning, and restocking supplies. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, keep spaces clean and secure, and communicate regularly with owners to ensure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or theirs.
“Charlene was the reason I was able to enjoy my week long trip! It was the first time I left my cat for so long and I got tons of pictures and videos😻 Charlene was such a great find!! I highly recommend her to care for your pet and home 🤗”
About: I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I have had dogs in the past. Some from shelter and or rescues. While having dogs in the past, I have learned a few tricks of training them. Never, like ever allow a dog to pulled: My first dog (unexperienced at that time) pulled me toward a flock of geneses. From that moment I realize I did not like to be pulled by dogs that do not know how to navigate the walk. That didn't turn out well. So instead of having my dogs walking in front of me they'll be trained to walk on the leash well on the side or behind me. Making accidental mistakes with your dog helps both you and pet to learned and be trained well. I have train quite a few dogs along walking my own around places that has plenty of dogs. I do not considered myself professional, top notch dog trainer; I've watched and see different tactics on how to train dogs. So to conclude, if you like me to help with training your dog the basics commands or walk properly on leash I am able to assist you. Wish you all best, pets parents. Hi, my schedule during the week, I work part time as an RBT before and after my work schedule I work in training my clients (dogs). I work with owners how to well train; burn out their fur babies. I work four days out of the week part time so that I have more time to work with the clientele. My previous dog was fearful of all things in this world, I had crate him for three months. After the three months his demeanor had change for the better. He no longer was crated as much during the day but roam free where he is limited. Depending on your dog if he or she needs to crated: fearful, too excited needs to settle in a crate, or nursing pups with mum. All tempting items will be removed if your pet is destructive he or she will be crated with toys for stimulant. Dogs will be walking for 1-2 hours (I am very active) 2-3 times a day. With morning and night.
“Rayna was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was easy to communicate with and made me feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care. She did a fantastic job keeping me updated on how my dog and cat were doing, sending lots of detailed messages and tons of adorable pictures throughout her stay. It was so comforting to know they were in such good hands while I was away. Rayna is professional, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I’ll definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
About: Lifelong dog lover and current med student here! Raised alongside a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six, I’ve spent nearly my whole life caring for pups. My medical training makes me exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure, while my inner kid just wants to provide the same love and attention I give my own family dogs. I’m a med student taking a gap year to study for my Step 1 exam. Since I study from home nearly 24/7, your pup will have constant companionship, a quiet environment, and endless study-break cuddles!. I’ve raised and loved a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six years old, so dog care is second nature to me. Living right in Las Olas, I offer a premium, ultra-reliable, and highly attentive environment. My medical background means your pet is in the safest, most responsible hands possible!
About: I have had many different dogs over the years and cared for more than one dog at a time, which makes me very comfortable in caring for your fur babies and understanding their many personalities. Also, I believe socialization is very important for all dogs so if you are comfortable, I am able to take them to a dog park (I have one near my home). This will allow them to create new friends and make their experience more enjoyable. Overall, I am trying to avoid getting another pet, so if you let me care for your fur baby I would heavily appreciate it :D As you can tell from my photos I treat all pets like they are a part of my family. Rest assured your baby and I will become best friends. I am a remote worker which allows me more time to care for your babies and a lot of flexibility. I believe this would be a mutually beneficial relationship as I'd be able to enjoy my day playing with dogs, while you won't be worried about taking your dog out. If you ever need to board your dog I am available on the weekends and if you need a house sitter because it would make your fur baby more comfortable I am flexible on those dates as well. I have a multitude of toys, treats, and puzzles to keep them engaged and happy. I also have a dog park which tends to not be busy which allows for running and fetch time in a safe environment.
About: Hey there! I'm Agustina, and I’m a Senior at Florida State University planning on going into the medical field 🍢❤️ Ever since I can remember, I've had this deep longing to have a furry friend by my side. Animals have always been my passion – in fact, back in 5th grade, my dream job was to become a zookeeper just to be close to them. I love all types of animals... small rodents, dogs, cats, reptiles, birds. I love them all 😊 While I never had a pet of my own growing up, my parents often allowed me to care for our friends' and family's pets. Since I was 9, I've been changing litter, feeding, playing, and ensuring the well-being of various furry companions, ranging from dogs and cats to hamsters, fish, and even ferrets and birds. I'm even considering fostering a dog or cat in the near future. Thankfully one of my roommates has the sweetest chocolate lab named Luther, who is 9 and loves to sleep all day! 😴 Animals hold a special place in my heart, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my love for them by caring for other fur babies 🥰 By the way, my timing is flexible since I am taking lots of online classes – feel free to reach out anytime! My calendar is always updated on the app, so we can easily coordinate :) Looking forward to connecting! I’m currently a college student with online classes this summer. I’m available mostly anytime over the summer, just reach out and check with me! :) Despite never having had a dog, my deep desire for one fuels my dedication to pet care. I'm not able to host pets at my house, however, I'm willing to travel to clients' homes, ensuring their pets receive attentive care.
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Yasmine is incredibly loving, attentive, respectful, and responsible. Toby (my dog) absolutely adored her because of how caring and affectionate she was with him. She even bought him toys, and they spent so much time together throughout the day. She also constantly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel reassured that Toby was happy and well taken care of at all times. I highly recommend Yasmine with complete confidence to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pets.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lauderdale Lakes is $50

Yasmine was an amazing sitter ! I needed someone last minute for a work trip and she came quickly to do a visit and walk through everything, was extremely attentive, polite, sent multiple pictures several times a day, treated my home with care, and was very communicative. My cat is an older act and relies heavily on affection and attention and Yasmine was great with her ! I will 100% be booking Yasmine again!
I have never left my dogs with anyone and was nervous in the beginning. I didn’t know how my dogs would react to a sitter but that all changed when we hired Ryan. We have 2 older dogs and he handled them both so well. He’s kind, compassionate and experienced. He was very patient with both dogs which makes all the difference when you have an older dog. I know he did a great job because they ended up loving him after a couple of days. I would recommend him over and over again and will use him in the future for sure.
Nydia responded promptly to my request for dog sitting. She came to meet us right away for a meet and greet . We discussed a schedule and and went over pancakes routines. She came every time she promised she would sent lots of pictures. She put my mind at ease knowing my pancakes was being taking care of well we were out of town. I will be scheduling her again for my next trip out of town.
Shaneka was wonderful with my pup. She gained her trust quickly, even though she is very skitish. I was surprised at how fast they bonded. I booked her for House/Dog sitting and Shaneka followed all my instructions to the T and I will deffinately be booking again and soon!!!
Kristina was absolutely amazing!!! She has so much energy, which is so valuable since I have 2 huskies. She took them on multiple walks a day, took them to the nearby dog park + played with them in our backyard. One of my dogs takes medication for his epilepsy, and she was a pro at administering. She was very communicative, giving me regular updates + photos. She also goes over + beyond!! I didn't expect or request any cleaning, but she insisted, washing bed linens + remaking the bed, cleaning the bathroom, and vacuuming the house! She also thoroughly brushed our dogs, making their coats look better than ever! She even left us all treats on her way out!! My pets had a blast with her + it was great to have someone so reliable + trustworthy so that we could focus on enjoying our vacation. We can't wait to hire her again in the future!
I had an amazing experience with Tanaysia. From the very beginning, communication was clear and reassuring. She was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for my dog as if he was her own. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lauderdale Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lauderdale Lakes on Rover is $53.5 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 4,630 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lauderdale Lakes. 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 Lauderdale Lakes 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 Lauderdale Lakes 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 Lauderdale Lakes 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 with handling special pet needs in Lauderdale Lakes. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
