“Rita was wonderful! She took care of our three dogs for 3 nights in our home. She took lots of pictures and gave us updates throughout the day. She also left our home very tidy. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Tina is an extremely reliable house sitter, a great person and has become our friend as well. She took great care of our doggies, sent us updates and pictures daily and took great care of our house and plants too! My wife and I highly recommend Tina for your pet sitting needs and we will definitely be reaching back out to her for future housesitting needs!”
“James did a great job with my dogs while house sitting! He was communicative, reliable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs are used to a lot of attention and company, and he made sure they were well cared for and comfortable. He also left my home clean and exactly as I left it, which I really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I’d definitely book with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups! 🐾”
“From the first moment of contact with Jenna, all the way up to the moment we got home from our vacation, she was quick and open with all communication. I have never left any of my animals (past or current) with anyone but family but since we were all headed out of state for a family reunion, I was in a bind and had to find someone. After reading many reviews, I decided on Jenna based on location and the positive experiences others have had. I am so glad that I did! Jenna stayed at our home for 5 days and She watched my 7 month old puppy and my parents 7 year old dog. They loved her and she absolutely loved them. I received texts and pictures every day of the dogs and there was always easy and open communication. I was very worried our puppy would have a hard time adjusting without us but she warmed up so quickly. I loved that Jenna came over to meet me and the dogs prior so they were familiar when she came to stay. I would HIGHLY recommend Jenna for your pet sitting needs. There was never a moment the whole vacation that I ever had to stress about our fur babies or our home and I am so grateful to Jenna for that. She has become a friend and we will absolutely use her services again!”
“Kallie was absolutely incredible, my pup can be a little nervous sometimes & immediately was comfortable with her. She never failed to update me with photos and how the day was going. I will definitely be using her again ♥️”
“Kelli was absolutely great! She stayed at our house while we were out of town. She took care of our dog and cat. She sent us updates and photos while we were gone. The sheets and towels she used were left clean and folded. She even folded our laundry that we left in the dryer. Our animals and house were well cared for. I highly recommend Kelli!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. It started with Smokey and Brownie when I was a kid, then Puppy, Marley, Ash, and now my girl Hazel. Taking care of them has always been a big part of my life. I've also pet and house sat for friends many times, so I know how much it means to trust someone with your home and your fur baby. I have a real soft spot for senior dogs and I'm very comfortable caring for them. I know older pups need a little extra patience, gentle walks, and a close eye on how they're feeling, and I love giving them that. I'm comfortable giving oral medication and keeping track of when it's due. I even make Hazel's food from scratch, so I pay close attention to feeding routines, special diets, and any little changes in behavior. I'll follow your pet's normal routine as closely as I can so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I’m currently a college student and work part-time from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule! Since I’m able to manage both school and work remotely, I have plenty of availability throughout the day to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends, including overnight stays, drop-in visits, and walks. I’m always happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s specific needs to make things as convenient and stress-free as possible! All of my care happens in your home, so your pet gets to stay in a familiar space with their own bed, toys, and routine. That means less stress for them and more peace of mind for you. There are no other animals around, so your pet gets my full attention. I'll keep doors and gates secure, make sure food and water are always fresh, and give medications exactly as instructed. I'm also happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep your home tidy. I'll send you updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Dan is a great communicator and very good with dogs. He took great care of my dog while I was out of town for the weekend at my home and I will be using him again.”
“Maddy is a lifesaver! She was kind enough to jump in on very short notice. She is open and incredibly friendly. When we returned, we could tell right away that our dogs had been in great hands - they were relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We felt 100% comfortable leaving her in our home and truly appreciated the photos and updates she sent. We can definitely recommend Maddy to any dog owner. Thank you, Maddy!”
“April took AMAZING care of our 2 cats and dog. We had to go out of town for 4 days and the night before our trip we had to take our cat to the ER for a UTI. We were so hesitant to leave her but the vet assured us she would be okay and April has experience administering medications. She kept us updated all weekend each time she gave our cat both liquid doses and pill. We were so at ease with her taking care of our babies. She sent pictures all weekend and all of our babies loved her, even our cat who is normally on the skittish side. We came home to our house being spotless and well taken care of. Couldn’t recommend her more!!”
“Beverly took great care of our puppy. She communicated daily with texts and pictures. It was so good to know she was safe and cared for while we were out of the country! Poppy is a handful and Beverly gave her 3 walks a day. Thankful we had Beverly to count on.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our dogs, especially while one was in recovery from surgery. We appreciate the care and compassion as well as the consistent communication and updates. It was so very appreciated. Thank you for loving our pups!”
“Zlata has stayed with our dogs more than three times now, and we absolutely love having her in our home with our fur baby! She gives me so much peace of mind and allows us to travel for business without having to worry about Louie. Her communication and responsiveness are always great, which makes me feel even more comfortable knowing Louie is happy and everything is going well while we’re away. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust with him!”
“Jessica was AMAZING!!! She was so communicative, and sent us lots of photos of our pups! They had a great time and loved having her stay! Will definitely be booking her again :)”
“Alyssa took care of Luna at her home while we were on vacation for four days/three nights. Luna took to her immediately and it was clear that Alyssa has a lot of love and experience with dogs. She was loving and caring and sent us a photo of Luna twice daily with a sweet and fun caption. Alyssa has a wonderful dog, Ace, and Luna and Ace played well together in her spacious fenced in back yard. We were comfortable and enjoyed our time away, knowing that Luna was loved, well taken care of and also well exercised. She had a sweet playmate with Ace the whole time which is a real bonus! We will definitely ask Alyssa again to take care of Luna, when we have to travel without her. Thank you Alyssa for taking care so wonderfully of our Luna !”
“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and treat them like they’re my own. I am able to form a fast, fun connection with pets and they generally are very at ease in my presence. I work remotely Monday-Friday during the day. My daily routine is fairly flexible so I’ll be able to accommodate your fur baby's needs, be it frequent potty breaks or daily walks. I am happy to care for your pet following whatever instructions you give. I love to send pictures and videos so you won’t feel like you’re missing out!
About: Animals have been a major part of my life for decades, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic pets who love playtime and adventure to seniors who need a little extra patience and TLC. My background includes owning highly trained working dogs, including an AKC Master Hunter and a trained bird dog guide dog, as well as fostering senior and rescue animals with unique needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When your pet is with me, they won’t just be watched—they’ll be genuinely cared for. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a true priority rather than trying to fit it around a busy workday. I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine and schedule, whether that means early mornings, midday visits, evening care, or extra time with pets who don’t like being alone for long periods. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I always take the time to make thoughtful introductions and get to know each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, favorite things, and little quirks. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their normal routine so they feel happy and secure while you’re away. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for with genuine love and attention.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Madeira Beach
Maria is quite honestly one of the best pet sitters I have ever hired. She was absolutely wonderful with our animals and took excellent care of our home while we were away. I 100% trust her and feel relieved knowing I have someone I can count on when we travel again in the future. 😊
We had an excellent experience with Shannon! She stayed in our home and cared for our dogs for five nights. Although she was a new sitter for us, she immediately made us feel comfortable with how thorough and detail-oriented she was throughout the process of getting to know us, our home, and the dogs. Her communication was excellent, and she was wonderful with both of them. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and would highly recommend her!
I truly cannot recommend Walter enough, we had a sitter abandon our pets mid-stay while we were traveling abroad and Walter was able to step in and not only ensure our pets were cared for but truly loved! He took them on walks, played and hung out outside with them, and let the pets sleep in the bed with him. On top of all of that, he even cleaned all of the sheets and comfortable prior to my arrival back home. We will be using Walter again for our future travels.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Madeira Beach is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 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.

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 Madeira Beach 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 Madeira Beach 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 Madeira Beach 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 Madeira Beach. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
