“So lucky to have found Sue just after moving. She took excellent care of my dogs. She gave me frequent updates - with pictures - about what they were doing, eating, sleeping, etc. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of peta all my 57 years of life’ and promise to treat them with love and care like they were my own. I am taking care of animals full time with the exception of an occasional housekeeping client here and there. I can be available for your babies whenever you need me. I prefer to watch your babies in their own home so they feel most comfortable with their smells and toys. I believe this is far less stressful for them.
“Devan was absolutely amazing with our shy greyhound. He is terrified of strangers, and yet within an hour of meeting our dog, Devan was able to rub his belly. It was such a relief for us to know that our dog was able to stay home with her. She is so calming for him, and was able to take him on long walks, which is normally very difficult for him. Devan sent us regular updates, including pictures and videos. Our home was spotless when we returned, she was incredibly respectful. We are so grateful for Devan and look forward to her watching our dog in the future.”
“For a first time customer, Stephanie did a great job with my 2 dogs. They were very happy when I got home which shows they got great care and attention. I have already recommended her and will use her services in the future as I have trips coming up.”
“Isabel was phenomenal with my three month old puppy. She took great care of him, followed my care schedule that I do with him. She did the same thing.My puppy requires a lot of care and constant supervision and she made sure everything was safe and sent me the cutest pics of my puppy throughout the day. I was able to go to work everyday relieved knowing that Isabella was taking care of my puppy!”
“Isabel was an absolute delight! I was a little nervous booking with someone new, but the moment she came over to meet our dogs, I felt completely at ease. She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent plenty of photos. It was clear they were getting lots of love and attention—when we got home, they were relaxed and happy, so I knew they’d been well cared for. She will be my first call the next time I need someone to watch my boys.”
“The service that Candace provided for my animals was beyond impressive and professional. This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and I believe that we will continue to use Candace in the future. My girls were treated like royalty and my foster kittens didn't even realize I wasn't there. I was nervous about leaving my new puppy, only three months old, but Candace did a great job reinforcing what she has already been taught. She also sent me multiple pictures and videos of my animals while I was away, in addition to sending me several daily updates. I would definitely recommend Candace to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
About: I grew up with a dog named Rocky, who was part of my family for many years until he passed away 3 years ago. Taking care of him taught me patience, responsibility and how important pets truly are. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with and giving pets attention and companionship. Friends and family have also trusted me to help care for their pets when needed. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is to leave them with someone trustworthy and caring. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days, including Saturdays and weekends. I have plenty of time to give pets attention, walks, playtime and consistent care. I understand how important routines are for animals and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe and cared for while you’re away. I always make sure pets are supervised, safe and comfortable in my care. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, walks and any instructions provided by the owner. I understand every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I try to create a calm and caring environment where they feel secure and loved.
“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!!”
“Alex was the best stand in fur mama I could have asked for. She treated my pups as if they were her own. Upon a house visit, while I was away on vacation, she discovered that my AC had broken. She immediately and lovingly volunteered to take her own pups to her mom’s house so that she could bring mine to stay at hers. Thankfully, I was able to get repairs done that day. While I was making arrangements she sat in her car with them, AC blasting, so that they could stay cool. She dropped them off a daycare for me, while the AC repair guy was working his magic. Then picked them up, brought them home, and cuddled them on the couch. None of this was what she was hired to do, she truly went above and beyond! And she did so in such a nurturing and happily willing manor. I am sooooo grateful they were in the care of someone who clearly and genuinely loves dogs. I will most definitely use Alex’s services again and recommend her to anyone who wants their pups well taken care of.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over then years and have been providing care for dogs and cats for the past two years. I’m friendly, attentive, and love staying active so If your pet needs high-energy walks or outdoor adventures, we’ll have a great time together. I also offer last minute accommodations as I work 2 minutes away and can check in on your pets at anytime! Part time on the weekdays but can easily check in on pets. Full day availability Friday through Sundays. I can accommodate late pick ups or next days. I live in an apartment so ideally you’re pet is small and needs loving tender care in a small space. Ready and willing to be able to give multiple walks. Potty training is not required.
“Gesar and Romy are fan-freaking-tastic! I would give them 10 stars instead of 5 if I could. I will recommend them to everyone I know and they come with my highest level of recommendation. We have a sick 15 year lab, and a very playful 2 year old hound, that we were very nervous to leave for several days as our lab requires so much care of late, and our hound has tons of energy. Gesar and Romy to the rescue! They stayed at our house and took excellent care of each pup fulfilling each one’s individual needs. All the while sending updates and adorable pictures of walks and nap time. Our home was in great shape when we returned. They are just amazing people. I can’t thank them enough. The only problem is that I think our pups like them better than us now. ;)”

“Maysa was very good. She kept in contact with me daily, sent pictures and a video. Very nice lady. One thing she doesn’t speak English too well but that was a problem at all.”
About: I am experienced with breeds of all sizes. I have owned and cared for several large breeds myself, and I know how to handle them with confidence and respect. I am patient and gentle with all animals, but I especially enjoy working with rescue pups.

My schedule is flexible - I have multiple days off per week (healthcare hours) and I can be available to care for your fur-babies anytime! Currently located in the Miami, FL area. I believe that providing quality pet care is important, and I take my responsibility seriously. I do am always happy to answer any questions or concerns that my clients may have.
“Empathy, patience, caring, followed instructions to the T. One can get almost so scared to leave a great review because everyone will want to hire her after this. So, I’m making sure to book weeks in advance. Caring for dogs, especially one like ours who doesn’t like people, was our first time away, and Natasha had no hesitation from the very beginning. She was confident in her skills. But no kidding, she stayed in our home fully devoted to our dog even though she has a family and a child. She understood the assignment. It’s like she has a master’s degree or Ph.D. in dealing with and working around our little one. I can’t thank her enough. We’ll definitely be using her again. We tipped her in cash because I like cash. So Rover please do not think this review was left in lieu of placing a tip on your portal. Rover, our beats WAG any day and I will only recommend and use Rover”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and breeds, including a Boxer, two Yorkshire Terriers and a beautiful Husky. My responsibilities included feeding, providing fresh water, taking them outside for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and making sure they stayed on their normal routine while their family was away. I always prioritize each dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness, treating them like they’re my own!! I currently work part time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but I’m available after 5 PM on those days and can also stop by before work to care for your pets. The rest of the week, I have open availability and a flexible schedule! So hit me up!!☺️🤙 I’m 5’2, so if you have a larger dog, I’d really appreciate any tips on how you usually handle or play with them at home. Let me know what works best for your pet whether it’s the safest way to play indoors, bring them inside from the backyard, or any routines you’d like me to follow. I always want to make sure both your pet and I are safe and comfortable. Unfortunately, I’m unable to board pets in my home. However, I grew up in a house full of animals, including two dogs, a cat, and two birds, so I’m very comfortable caring for a variety of pets. You can trust that your furry family members will be treated with the same love and care as my own!
About: I have loved all pets since I was little when my grandpa was a vet. I’ve always had dogs growing up and absolutely love taking care of all of them and I’m always looking for a new furry friend I’m currently working part-time and I always have extra time just laying around so I wanted to give myself a little something to do and something that I enjoy! I have 2 dogs of my own and they have a massive yard to run in and absolutely love going on walks that I take them on everyday and I would do the same and care for your pets like they are my own.
“Excellent experience with Nicole! Very flexible and accommodating with our plans. She kept in touch and updated us through the day. Bridget was very comfortable and loved on.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lighthouse Point is $55

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.
Kailee was so wonderful with our animals. She communicated very well and I could see they all felt very comfortable with her. She was even able to get my three very scared kitties to come out of their hiding spots. I would 100% recommend Kailee for all of your pet-sitting needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lighthouse Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lighthouse Point on Rover is $77.7 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 4,306 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 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 Lighthouse Point. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
