“I was really worried about booking any pet sitter because my older kitty was just diagnosed with early kidney disease. Sammie needs to be fed a special diet in a separate room from my other cat (who will eat anything and everything!). Courtney was extremely caring with both of my kitties and followed instructions perfectly. If I could give 10 stars I would and I definitely will hire Courtney for my next trip.”
“Phoenix was great! Such a huge load off in the stress department knowing the cats would be watched while I was away. Great communication from start to finish. Will definitely use Phoenix again in the future!”
“Helped me on a last minute 2 day emergency. Was very flexible and understanding of my schedule. Luna ended up getting sick while I was out of town and debi helped me by giving her medicine and cleaning up her mess. Highly recommend debi”
“Such a great dog sitter, very sweet & kind to my dog & I! Lots of updates which I loved when I was on my trip, definitely will book again on the next trip that I’m not able to bring my girl!”
About: Ive grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and now Im literally obsessed with them! (Im the crazy lady who has to stop and talk to every dog). I have my dog Lucy since she was born at the rescue and shes about to turn 10, so I know how to care for dogs from puppy to elderly. Lucy has also thought me a lot about how to care for dogs who can be tempermental and reactive. I am hyper aware of how dogs are acting in all situations, both the dogs Im caring for and any others we might meet along the way. You can rest assured that your animal will be safe and loved with me! I work evenings 5 days a week so am available for morning/afternoon walks and drop ins. My schedule regularly changes so please just ask and I will try my best to accommadate you! I will only care for one animal at the time unless they are from the same family. Keeping your baby safe and happy is my top priority.
“Aleksandra was great! Always on time, which is important for me, because I have a diabetic cat who needs insulin twice a day. She was able to give him his injections without any problems! Highly recommend!”

I have had only amazing experiences and received positive feedback from owners every time! I am a teacher in NJ so I can do late afternoon/night times Monday-Friday, as well as weekends. There are a few holidays schools have off that I can be available for. I have had most experiences at owners houses with following the routines and preferences of the pet and owner. I am a fit and active person that is able to handle dogs of all sizes.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and knew from a young age that I wanted to work with them. I even dreamed of becoming a veterinarian when I was younger! Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets through pet sitting and dog walking for family members and others. I have a 6-year-old Goldendoodle named Gryff that stays with family, and I currently live with two adorable and friendly cats, Rosemary and Basil. Being around animals has taught me how important patience, responsibility, and attentiveness are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and administering oral medication. I’m an active, responsible, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! 🐾💕 Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy making time to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, as well as boarding in my home. I work weekday mornings, so I’m generally available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and routines. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of every pet’s boundaries. Since I have two cats of my own, I’m also mindful of safe introductions and keeping pets separated when necessary. 🐾

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Lighthouse Point 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!
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 .

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 .
