“Stephanie watched our very large and anxious dog for three days while we were away. She stayed in our home. She sent regular updates and asked all the right questions. She followed all directions as far as our dogs routine and needs. We came home to a clean home, as we left it! Will book again in future.”
“Candace is the best pet sitter I have had. She really embraced my boy and I could tell he was comfortable with her. Candace got down on the floor with my boy and showed him she cared. Candace gave Seymour time to warm up and she encourage him to come out from hiding and he did. Candace sent me photos and videos of her time with Seymour and I felt comfortable being away. For someone who has a spoiled loved pet this is really important, and Candace nailed it.”
“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 personally trained 3 puppies of my own and helped friends train their dogs. I love to meet new dogs and understand their needs and wants. I feel like every dog is a big puppy a ball of joy and that’s what makes me love this job! I can’t wait to meet your four legged best friend! I work part time ( 3 days a week) i’m a grad student that needs a little bit of joy something and dogs do just that. I can’t wait to meet your four legged best friend! I don’t have any animals in my home and your dog will be loved by me and my roommates. I have a dog park 1 minute walk away, featuring a small and big dog park that is separate.
“Lucy was amazing house sitting with our French Bulldog, Eden. You can tell right away that she's great with animals, but she's also the most genuine, caring, enthusiastic, and honest person you'll ever meet. Her communication couldn't have been any better and she sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Eden (and all of us) will miss her until we return to Fort Lauderdale.”
About: Hey Pet Parents! I'm a Veterinary Assistant and have been pet sitting for over 20 years. I would love the opportunity to hang with your fur babies! I work from home Monday-Friday, and so will be available to stay home with your pets to provide care, walks, and snuggles for much of the day during the week, as well as overnight stays. Saturdays and Sundays I work at a veterinary clinic from 7a-7p, and so am available for morning and evening check ins, as well as overnight stays. When staying in your home, I will treat it with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I will water plants if needed, bring in any mail or packages, and leave your home just as I found it.
“Can we leave 10 stars instead of only 5?? Lindsey is absolutely amazing with animals. We could tell very quickly during the meet-and-greet that our dog and cat felt very comfortable with her, and we could SEE in every photo and video how much they embraced her as one of their own. Our cat is especially picky about his people, and we were amazed to see a video where he was walking around Lindsey's feet and cuddling her with his tail. He doesn't even do that for my mother! Lindsey is a superstar!”
“Amber was fantastic! She was so attentive to our puppy and made us feel at ease with her amazing communication, updates, photos and videos. She truly cared about our puppy and he had the best time playing with her.”
“We were very pleased with Rowan caring for Charlie. She stayed in our home and watched our elderly pup while we traveled for a week. She was able to follow his specific needs and everything went smoothly. Our home was immaculate and Charlie was happy when we returned.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I have worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years of my life. I have so much experience and I love all animals. They deserve the best. I am a single mom who's hours just got cut in half at work So I need the work and extra money to support my son and daughter. I have a Great Dane who is very well taken care of and loved so deeply. I walk him 3 times a day. He is big and strong but I make sure he is always safe and secure when I walk him
About: Our pets are family members, period! For as long as I can remember, animals have been part of my everyday life. Over the years, I’ve cared for many pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, making sure they are loved and looked after when their owners cannot be there. I treat every pet as if they are my own, providing dependable, kind care that you can count on. I am available after 5pm during the week and after 10am on weekends. I work from home so I have flexibility. Otherwise I am available for you and your furball! I currently provide care in your home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar space. I’m tidy, respectful, and follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. You can always count on regular updates and photos while you’re away. I’m super organized and I know how hard it can be to be away from your fur babies!!
About: I've had dogs ever since I was a child. My dogs were always my best friends, and I took care of them from the time they were puppies until they were seniors. I have experience giving dogs oral medications and pay attention to detail to give owner's accurate updates on their pets. I can also handle dogs who get overly excited, who jump, and pull on their leash. I am currently taking online classes, so walking other people's pets will be a fun and productive way to spend my spare time. I will be able to get some dog time in, and pet owners can feel relief knowing their animals are getting the best care. In my home, I have 4 cats, so I don't do boarding. When I am in my client's home, I treat their home with respect, how I would expect someone else to be in my own home. I am comfortable spending nights at client's homes so their animals can feel at ease in their own space.
“Devan was an absolute treat to work with. From our first interaction on Rover I had a good feeling about her. During our interview my little girls were just so comfortable with her. While i was away Devan gave me constant updates to quell any anxiety. My experience with Devan was a wry nice one. I would quickly recommend Devan to care for your loved ones.”
“Lauren is so awesome!! We received so many loving pictures of her spending time with the dogs which made us so happy being it was her first time. We have a difficult dog situation and she handled them flawlessly, we will absolutely ask her to sit for us again. Thanks Lauren!!!”
“Ekaterina is a wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with my frenchie while I was out of town and gave him great love and care. She sent many pictures and updates and was great with communication. I will book with her again.”
“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!”

Larissa was incredible! She gave multiple updates and photos every day, followed all my detailed instructions. She is such an incredibly kind and sweet person, you can tell she really cares. It's hard for me to trust people with my baby and she made me feel so comfortable and have full confidence in her! I highly recommend her for any sitting needs :) I came home to clean house and happy doggy. Will be booking again. Thanks again Larissa!
Lorena was absolutely amazing! She truly went above and beyond in every aspect, her care for our 3 dogs, her communication throughout our trip, and the respect for our home were unmatched by any sitter we've had. One of our senior dogs has complex meds that she handled like a pro, our youngest is a handful of endless energy still learning how to respect boundaries, and our third dog had a medical emergency that Lorena was on top of every step of the way. She immediately got us on a call, helped us get her comfortably and safely through the night, took her to the vet super early next day, and coordinated everything with the vet and us. We have no words for how grateful we are that she was taking care of them when this happened and will absolutely book only her from now on. Cannot recommend her enough, thank you again for everything!!!!
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!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lighthouse Point is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $105 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 November 2026, there are 4,277 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lighthouse Point. 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lighthouse Point. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
