“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.”

“Maggie is the best!!! We are so happy that we found her and she was able to stay and take care of our dog, Benji. Benji can be a bit skiddish and he warmed right up to Maggie. We can tell that he was really well looked after. She was a great communicator and sent us updates throughout our trip. She watched Benji at our house and left our place spotless. Would 100% recommend! Your pup will be in great hands.”

About: I’ve spent most of my life around animals, including dogs and horses, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, medications, and providing attentive, calm companionship. My background as a registered nurse has also strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and ability to stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs and comfort. As a nurse with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and occasional last-minute bookings when available. Recent empty nesters. We have a yard and a pool on the property. The pool is not fenced, so pets are always supervised closely when outdoors. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure each dog is monitored at all times and cared for according to their routine and comfort level.

About: I love caring for dogs and with having a one year old puppy, I am hyper focused on their needs. I am an early riser and a frequent walker. I have plenty of time to take your pups on walks or to the dog park with consent. Draco is also super dog friendly to all dogs- big or small and would love to play with your pup. My weekends are completely free so I would love to babysit your dogs Friday evening-Sunday night. I’m sure to send lots of pictures and updates of your cute pup. I will follow any instructions you provide on how to care for your dogs specific needs. If no instructions are provided I will make sure to feed your dog twice a day and give them lots of exercise on hikes, walks, and at the dog park. I look forward to giving your furry friend love, attention and cuddles. I am a super active person and my puppy has tons of energy so I will make sure your dog is getting the exercise they deserve with lots of walks, playing and trips to the dog park. I am super flexible with drop off and pick up dates and times. Furthermore, I am completely open to doing meet and greets with each other and our pups before booking services. I love building trust between clients by sending lots of pics and keeping up with communication.

“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!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys! From owning a tiny Maltese to gentle giant Great Pyrenees, (as well as a rescue Pit Bull puppy who was completely covered in mange - I personally nursed her back to perfect health) we rescued off the street with a special rescued Beagle in the mix, I’ve loved getting to know dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Big or small, fluffy or fabulous, they all have a special place in my heart! 🐕💕 I’m also a lifelong cat lover who has rescued and cared for countless cats and kittens over the years. Whether your fur baby loves playtime, enjoys long walks, is a professional cuddler, or simply wants a little quiet company, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Every pet has their own unique personality, and I can’t wait to discover what makes yours so special! 🐈💖 As a proud Fort Lauderdale native, I’d absolutely love to meet you and your precious fur babies!

About: I hold a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Technology and am currently employed as a full-time vet tech. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I've always enjoyed caring for them. Additionally, I gained valuable experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I currently work as a full-time veterinary technician. Although I am currently employed I can still be extremely flexible if need be with enough time beforehand to plan! I have a fenced-in yard for my fur baby. Your pet will have plenty of places to roam and play. My personal dog roams around the house freely, but can be crated if needed.

About: Hi I’m Kacie, I offer dog walking, dog boarding, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, lots of affection, or overnight care while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I can also follow your pet’s regular routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ve spent years caring for my own pets as well as helping family and friends with theirs.

About: I’ve been around pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped care for multiple dogs and cats, so being responsible for pets has always felt normal to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and smaller pets, and I’m comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and energy levels. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure each pet feels safe and cared for. My husband helps as well and is very attentive and gentle with animals, so your pet gets double the care and attention. Together, we’re reliable, calm, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, not just checking in and leaving. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, and we’re able to work around most schedules without any issues. My husband works from home, so there’s almost always someone around, and your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. We’re homebodies and keep things pretty low key, which works well for pets who enjoy consistency and company. We also have a daughter who we take on walks regularly, so adding a dog walk into the day is already part of our routine and never a problem. Safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We live in a spacious, pet friendly condo where pets are free to move around and settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. They’re welcome in all rooms, have plenty of space to relax, and if they’re used to sleeping in the bed, that’s perfectly fine with us. We keep our home calm, clean, and low stress, and we’re very attentive and gentle, especially with pets who may be shy or need a little extra reassurance. Our goal is to make them feel at home, not like they’re in a new or unfamiliar place. When caring for pets in their own home, we’re very respectful of your space and routines. We follow instructions closely, keep everything the way you leave it, and make sure your pet stays in the environment they’re already comfortable with. Whether in our home or yours, your pet will be supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family.

About: I am an exceptional choice for someone to take care of your pet(s). I am friendly, attentive, and respectful, always putting your pets safety and wellbeing first. I am a lover of all animals and things “friend-shaped.” I have 3 family dogs and adopted my cat, Venus, 5 years ago. I’ve grown up my entire life with at least 2 dogs in the home at the same time, and the most being 6. My family began rescuing pitbulls in 2007, so growing up with dogs, especially large ones, allows me to feel extremely comfortable around them and understand their body language. I have lived with dogs of all sizes and have lived with multiple cats at time. I would love to help you feel comforted while you are away from home, by knowing that your pet(s) is/are in loving and careful hands. This is a fun fact, but when I was 16, my friends and I fundraised $2,000 within 3 days to donate towards a local shelter, including food, bedding, and other items. I have a reliable means of transportation and I am currently working a part-time, completely remote and flexible job, so I would be able to work around your schedule fully. I wake up early, so I can do early morning walks, drop-ins, or house sit early in the morning. Just let me know. I can adapt to any requirements necessary for your dog/cat. For dogs, I would prefer to walk them with a harness rather than just a collar. I can take your cat on a walk too, if they are comfortable with it—either with a well-fit harness, cat backpack, or stroller. I have my own backpack I could use. I would like to learn about your pet beforehand to understand any specific details about them. For example, I have a dog who doesn’t like when people touch his ears, but I have another that loves it. My cat, Venus, loves to be held, but one of my old roommate’s cats, Sage, did not. General information like that. I will also send you pictures/videos of your pet while you’re away if that helps you feel comfortable.

Lexie was very kind and willing to help us on short notice during an unexpected family emergency, and I really appreciated her flexibility. There were a couple of times when I needed to provide reminders about their established routines, particularly the dogs’ potty schedule, so they didn’t have to go long periods between breaks. However, everything ultimately worked out. My senior dog also has additional medical needs, and she was consistent about making sure he received his medication every morning and night which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She also sent update photos which was appreciated. Overall, I’m grateful she was able to help us during a very challenging week. Thank you, Lexie!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lauderhill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Lauderhill is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 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 4,583 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lauderhill. 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 Lauderhill 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 Lauderhill 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 Lauderhill 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.

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.
