“Stephanie was amazing!! She consistently updated me with pictures of the pups and made sure they had lots of love. She will take great care of your house and your pets!”
“Izabela was WONDERFUL with our VERY energic puppy! She took her out to play many times a day and was able to handle her excitement! Izabela sent us updates and pictures every day, multiple times a day! She was extremely professional when we met, she followed up the day before to confirm everything, and was on time. I cannot recommend her enough! We will definitely be booking again!”
“Shannon is a godsend. She has been SO AMAZING with my pup. Not only did he take to her quickly, but she is thorough and communicative and kept me constantly updated throughout the stay. I’m so happy I found her and will be booking again for sure!!”
About: I have had multiple animals while growing up! Right now I have moved out to go to college at FAU but in my hometown I grew up with two cats and one dog and I absolutely love all animals and they have a special place in my heart! I will take care of any animal like they are my own! I also have pet sat for all my neighbors while growing up and love to be around animals! :) I’m currently a sophomore at FAU, and I have a pretty flexible schedule! I attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 am to 2 pm, but I have plenty of availability outside those hours. I’m also available Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and the weekends, which gives me lots of time to take care of your pets and give them the attention they deserve! I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I will always make sure they are in a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and anything else your pet may need. My goal is to make sure your pets feel happy and cared for while you’re away!
“Amber has taken care of Peanut and Noel before .Shes great .I feel confident when I go on a short or long trip that that they will be in the best hands. She is very punctual and my house is always in perfect order and I can tell that both my pets really like her. They are happy when I come home 😍”
About: I have a 90 pound white German Shepard. I have training experience and am excited to meet your animal. I treat all animals as if they were my children and give them all of the love and attention possible! I work for myself, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate you and your pups needs. I am available Monday - Sunday and on some holidays. I promise to ensure a safe environment for your fur baby. I am very trustworthy, responsible, and more than capable of taking on any task.
“Jenna did a great job with Thorbunny, who can be stubborn or a handful on walks. We could see he was having a great time by the pictures she was sending daily as well as the notes. When we came home it was to a happy puppy. We would definitely book Jenna again if our schedules align.”
“Desiree was absolutely perfect for us! She came ahead to meet our dogs and get an overview of the house and their routines. It was clear to us that she loves dogs and would be a caring sitter. Desiree communicated clearly, confirming timing before the service began. During our trip, Desiree sent regular check ins and pictures. We highly recommend her and will be using her going forward.”
About: I’ve grown up with many different animals, including dogs, cats, lizards, horses, and chickens. Most of my recent experience is with cats as they are my most recent pets but I do have a couple years of experience caring for dogs. I also have many years of experience of working with young horses, so I know how to hold my ground and work through potential problems well. I just love being around animals of any kind! I'm currently a college student with classes during the week. I am available early mornings (before 9 A.M.) and after 2 P.M. every weekday except Tuesday. My weekends are fully open. I have a lot of free time in my week to come hang out with pets! I always maintain a clean and comfortable living environment within your home for your pet(s). I'm very attentive to detail and make sure to watch for out of the ordinary behaviors. I ensure that the owners feel safe leaving pets in my care by communicating often and sending updates.

I understand that pets can be like children and I don't take the responsibility lightly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lighthouse Point
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lucy! She stepped in on extremely short notice to care for our two pugs and two cats during a very difficult time for our family, which made it possible for me to fly back to Michigan and spend precious time with my father-in-law and our family. Having someone I could completely trust with all four of our pets took such a huge weight off my shoulders. Lucy was absolutely amazing from the start. She is incredibly sweet, caring and thoughtful, and our pets absolutely loved her. She stayed in constant communication with us and sent tons of photos and videos, which I appreciated more than she probably realized. I never had to worry about how everyone was doing because I knew they were being loved and cared for. I am genuinely so grateful that I found Lucy. She gave us peace of mind when we needed it most, and I would trust her with our pugs and cats again without hesitation. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Five stars PLUS! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Stephanie! This was my first time booking her, and she exceeded every expectation during her seven night stay. My dog didn’t miss a beat! Stephanie followed her routine, showered her with love and attention, spent quality time playing with her, and most importantly, was home with her as much as I would have been. Her daily photos and consistent communication gave me such peace of mind. She also left my home spotless! Stephanie is kind, compassionate, dependable, and incredibly professional. Knowing my dog was so well cared for made all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Saul was wonderful with Lili! He was so easy to communicate with, thoughtful, and clearly loves spending time with dogs. We felt comfortable knowing Lili was in good hands, and it was so nice to see how happy and comfortable she was around him. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely book Saul again!
Sue was fantastic with Addy! She kept me updated the whole time, worked around stormy weather when the thunder had Addy nervous, and was super flexible with timing. She stayed a bit late when my flight was delayed. Addy was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!
Larissa absolutely exceeded expectations. Not only did she take amazing care of our Australian Shepherd (who is not always so easy), she kept us informed with pictures and updates, and cleaned up on the way out to make our arrival home more comfortable. Highly highly recommend 11/10
Absolutely amazing experience. She was truly the best, and my dog had the best time with her. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and dedicated so much time and energy to playing with her and making sure she was happy and comfortable. It was clear how much she genuinely cared, and I felt completely confident knowing he was in such great hands. I highly recommend her and will 100% book with her again!
Vicklyn is nothing short of amazing! She felt like a friend the moment we met her. She’s very warm and you can tell right away that she loves animals. She took care of our baby while we travelled internationally for two weeks. Not at any point did we worry about her, we knew she was in great hands! She sent us the perfect amount of updates. She also stayed in our apartment for the entire two weeks and we came back to the apartment exactly as we left it! Couldn’t recommend her enough!
Kasy is the first sitter we used on Rover and the first one since we’ve had our dog that truly cared for him and our home. She sent many updates each day, including photos and her communications were so appreciated! We trusted & saw that our beloved pup was well cared for & happy! Highly recommend!!!
Bruce is great. My Great Dane is very sweet and fun but he’s a giant energetic handful and Bruce is up to the task! He stayed at my house and he even took him to the dog park regularly which is not easy ( though it’s fun). Bruce is communicative and trustworthy. I highly recommend him.
Jenna was absolutely wonderful! Our two Border Collies were so happy and well cared for, and we came home to a clean house and very content animals. She also did a great job looking after our two cats and even our ducks - which we truly appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything at home was in such good hands. We would happily recommend her!
A true dog lover and professional! I would HIGHLY recommend Shannon. She truly cares for the animals and keeps them safe and happy. She is an excellent communicator and sends updates and is always collaborating for the best care. Don't think twice in hiring Shannon, she is a top notch provider!

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 Lighthouse Point 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 Lighthouse Point 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 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!
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.
