About: I have over 7 years of experience working with animals through shelters and daycare settings. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and giving pets the attention and care they need. My experience has also helped me understand different behaviors, so I can handle shy, energetic, or anxious pets calmly and safely. I truly enjoy working with animals and treat every pet like my own. I currently work part-time babysitting from about 9:30 AM to 1 PM, so I am available before and after those hours. I am also in college working toward my zoology degree, which reflects my passion for animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I have plenty of time during the day and evenings to give your pets attention, exercise, and proper care. I am flexible, dependable, and committed to being there when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I have experience handling different behaviors from my time in shelters, which helps me stay calm in any situation. Whether in your home or mine, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident while you’re away.
About: As a former veterinary technician and someone who has been raising animals since being in diapers, I can assure you, your babies are safe here. I am also only 4 minutes away from an emergency vet in the event of any emergency. Give your babies a fun beachside retreat while you are away! I work full time but I work close to home. Your babies will not be left alone for long and will be properly protected while they are alone. I have a fenced in yard and a big house for your babies to explore. I am a former vet tech of many years and I have cared for all types of animals.
“Madison was great!!! I had a last second flight and she was very flexible for my needs. I’m guessing she was great to my dog because he’s 21 years old and still bouncing around as usual.”
About: I have been pet & house sitting since I was a teenager! I love your furry friends like they are my own. Thanks to my flexible schedule, I can likely accommodate yours! I work a full time job with flexible hours so I can work my schedule completely around your pets needs! Walks and check ins in the middle of the day? No problem! I am happy to come to your home so your pet doesn’t need to leave their comfort zone! My roommate has a 3 year old German Shepard, so I am used to large pets!
About: Hi, I’m Lex! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently share my days with two pit bulls, Ted and Wayne, who have taught me patience, structure, and just how much personality one dog can have. I’m also very familiar with dogs who need a little extra reassurance, consistency, or space to warm up. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from laid-back couch companions to dogs who need long walks, enrichment, and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, crate routines, and reinforcing any training you’re already working on at home. I’m attentive, calm, and detail-oriented, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a reliable walker, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! — Lex I just arrived in Florida and am in the process of settling in, so my schedule is very flexible right now. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to plan my days around walks, feedings, drop-ins, and quality time. Since I’m not juggling another job at the moment, I can be fully present and reliable, and I genuinely enjoy building my routine around caring for animals. I focus on caring for pets in their own home through walks and drop-in visits, where they’re most comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I pay close attention to energy levels and personalities, whether that means a long walk to burn energy or a calm check-in with extra affection. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and feel safe and cared for, and I always send updates and photos after visits.
About: Hi! Im Andrea. I moved down to Vero Beach Dec ‘21 from North Dakota and now making my way up to Melbourne! I’m loving the florida life! Beaches are wayy better here. Back in north dakota i had 3 families I would pet set for. Ranging from small to big, lazy to extremely hyper I can handle it all! I’ve had many pets from 4 cats at time, a snake, to 3 cats and a dog, and now two cats. Please let me hangout with your animals before I go rescue every furbaby at the shelter. Open availability in September/October besides weekends. I work 12 hour shifts in east/central melbourne area, can most likely work out a potty break in that time if needed:) I have experience in residential Window Cleaning in high value properties in the Vero Beach area, I always have the upmost respect for another persons home, animals, and property. I can do small cleaning jobs as well for an additional price. I’m not willing to stay in another’s home overnight until a couple meet ups with pets and their owners for personal safety and comfortability reasons.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a little girl. I have experience with both dogs and cats from working at the animal shelter for several years. I will take my experience and apply it with my clients in all aspects. I’m currently working part time at Buffalo Wild Wings, usually around 20-25 hours a week, but I will have no problem working around my work schedule to fit your pet into my schedule! In my clients home, I will strictly follow instructions given by the pet owner, in regards to feeding, medications, exercise, time spent, etc. Also, I will make sure to send photo updates to the client if requested.
“Kyle did an amazing dog with both my dogs and cat! I can tell he is a huge animal lover and he spent quality time with all my pets and I could see how much they enjoyed his company. Although I have a pet cam I appreciate that he went above and beyond with sending me multiple videos of my pets. He has earned my trust that he will not just check in but also give my animals love while I am gone :)”
About: You could probably say I enjoy being around dogs more than most people. I consider dogs angels. I love to spoil them. My two girls are very spoiled. I have always had a dog. At one time I had 4 large dogs. I know what distress looks like and I know animal safeguarding. My husband and I have a deep bond with animals. We will care for your dog just as if they were ours. I’m a retired teacher and I love and truly understand dogs. I will love your pet as if he/she were my own. I’ve done all kinds of medications including kidney care involving injections and oral medicine. I have a fenced in yard and a safe place to walk dogs. I have two female Shitzus and they are very very friendly. I have had puppies, teenage dogs, and seniors. We only care for one families’ dog(s) at a time so they receive the care they deserve. We will send lots of pictures of your dog during our time with us and we will always follow your care instructions.
“Sandy was fantastic. I had peace of mind knowing my animals were well taken care of. She sent pictures daily with little updates. It’s tough when you’re out of state - but all was well with Sandy. Definitely recommend and of course will use again!!”
“Teri was awesome and took great care of our senior cat!! She communicated well and sent cute pictures of Nomi everyday. Made our trip stress free knowing our cat was so well cared for and will definitely use her again for future trips!!”
“Michelle is a sweetheart… I needed her last minute and she promptly came to a drop in visit. My dogs loved her and she sent me a lot of pictures, she also cleaned their water bowl that have been neglected by me Lol. I strongly recommend Michelle to take care of your fur babies.”
About: Hi! My name is SJ! I always wanted to find someone reliable, kind, gentle and understanding to watch my own girls when I needed to go out of town. So I decided to be that for others who may also need a lil help in the puppy department. Trusting someone with your fur babies is one of the hardest things... Let me help take that stress off of your shoulders. Leave a detailed message on how to care for your fur baby and I got you! I treat every animal as if it were a human. Dogs especially always find their way to me 😂 I'm basically Ms. Rachel , but for dogs 🤣 I can be available for drop in visits, or some in-home sitting, let me know what you need. No worries! For some reason my rates are all over the place on this app and there's no way for me to update them I keep it easy and the same for everyone. 20 per visit +10 for additional pets. Example: 1 dog + 3 visits = 60. 2 dogs + 3 visits = 90. Message me or text to book I'm an Uber Driver and a local musician so I occasionally play music around Brevard county but I have plenty of time for your pets! My girls are set in their daily routines. I come and go throughout the day. I have a semi fenced yard (the rest is a natural barrier) our girls stay in the garden and don't ever leave the premises. It's a garden/dog park in our backyard. In your home, I would just need very clear directions on what your expectation is and I can follow that guideline with no problem :) My time is spent with your pet playing, feeding, walking, or just being there for some human interaction. I can clean up anything while I'm there for you. Just think of me as your assistant. Let me know what I can do to make your pet/day a little easier.
“Ebony has been a life saver for my family and I! My dogs are getting old and cannot be left home alone for extended period of time without some love and a potty break. She comes to my house every day that I work and does just that. My dogs get excited and meet her at the door, knowing that they are going to get some attention and a well deserved walk around the block. She has even brought over another 4 legged friend for my pups to enjoy some time with! She is very trustworthy, respects your home and your animals, and I cannot recommend her enough.”
About: Entrusting someone with your pet requires confidence, and I provide a level of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I offer a unique combination of professional medical knowledge and personalized, attentive care designed to meet each pet’s individual needs. From routine companionship to specialized support for senior pets, those with medical conditions, or pets requiring medication, I am equipped to provide exceptional care with precision and compassion. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always the highest priority. I believe premium care means more than meeting basic needs—it means creating a calm, enriching, and secure experience where pets feel comfortable and valued. My goal is to provide discerning pet owners with complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are receiving expert care in capable hands. For clients seeking professionalism, reliability, and a truly elevated standard of pet care, I am committed to delivering service you and your pet can trust. My schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week. I work only one Saturday each month for approximately four hours, which gives me a highly flexible availability for pet sitting and boarding. I am home every evening, ensuring pets receive consistent companionship, routine, and care. As I work within a veterinary clinic setting, I also have the unique ability—if absolutely necessary—to bring a pet with me during work hours. In that environment, they would be closely supervised and surrounded by caring professionals, receiving plenty of attention throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being while accommodating their individual needs. I provide attentive, personalized care in a calm and welcoming environment. At this time, I do not have pets of my own, which allows me to offer visiting pets a comfortable space without concerns about compatibility with resident animals. I live in an apartment community with ample opportunities for walks, fresh air, and enrichment. There is also an on-site dog park, providing additional space for exercise and play. Beyond meeting daily care needs, I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—whether that means engaging in play, offering companionship, or simply sharing quiet moments and snuggles. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and at ease while in my care.
“Zarah is amazing with my 65 lb American Bully! She is always on time, available with my last minute schedule, and most importantly amazing with my pup! I am a crazy dog mom so I have extremely high standards. I always trust her looking after him and know he’s in great hands! Highly recommend!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Melbourne Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Melbourne 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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Melbourne Beach with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
