About: Hi, I'm a caring and experienced pet lover offering dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise. Safety and your pet's happiness are my top priorities! Pet care can fit into your daily or weekly routine by setting specific times for feeding, walking, and playing. For example, I might feed your pet every morning and evening, walk them after work, and set aside time on weekends for longer play sessions. I will always make sure they have plenty of water and food, pets, walks, and play time before I leave. I will make sure they are set for when you come home

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Been taking care of family dogs and had my own since I was a kid. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, patience, and care while their owners are away! I currently work part time but in 3 months I will be a stay at home mom. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight pet care. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication routines, and plenty of cuddle time. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, keep a close eye on their pets, and treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your dog if needed

About: I recently worked at the Florida Wildlife Hospital as an animal care technician! There I worked with vet techs and Doctors to rehab and release wildlife! I have experience in medical procedures involving wildlife and daily care of animal patients. I have been caring for Dogs, Cats, and Rodents since I was really young. That combined with my experience at The Florida Wildlife Hospital, I know I am capable of the care your furry friends need! From dogs as small as Teacup Yorkies to as giant as Great Danes, we have owned them and I know their needs! I have helped raise and train puppies, worked with foster dogs, and cared intentionally for senior dogs. I also have experience with many animals in the house at once, we frequented about 6 at a time! Over my travels the last few years, I have been able to help countless families care for their pets while they were away, and it is my passion to give them each the care they need to the best of my abilities. I will sacrifice time, energy, and anything your pet needs to stay healthy and THRIVING! p.s. I also have experience caring for and working with horses if that applies! When I am invited into your home to care for your pets you can rest assured that they will be loved and taken care of. I make sure my schedule fits around when they need to go for walks, to go potty, to eat, etc. And you can expect upon return that your home will be cared for too. I will always clean, collect the mail, water your plants if you desire, put the rubbish bins on the street, wash the bedding and towels I use, etc!

About: I have been a dog/cat owner my entire life. And have spent time with and taken care of every kind of dog in every kind of condition because my grandma has fostered hospice dogs the last ten years. I have no fear when it comes to caring for and walking big dogs. I'm so looking forward to bringing people peace of mind that their sweet pets are well cared for while they aren't home <3 I am working part time and would like to fill up my week helping people! I am happy to attend to your pets early in the morning or late at night, I'm here whenever needed. I am more than happy to spend quality time with your pets and ensure that they are getting the attention they deserve, whether that means playing fetch in the backyard or giving belly rubs on the couch.

“Cynthia was amazing with with our two dogs. The pictures she sent during every visit was very nice. Our kids loved seeing the updates on their staycation with her. The dogs were excited to see her and get some one on one time with her when she visited. We would recommend and would use her again for other trips we can’t bring our dogs to.”

About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds ever since I was young. I’ve dog sat for family and friends, I’ve worked at a dog grooming/boarding. I had my own dog for 15 wonderful years. I also have experience with cats and reptiles. I’m happy to watch any critter you may have! I’m currently working full time as a server. I have evenings available. Eventually I’d like to cut back on serving and focus more on pet sitting. I do not offer in-home services as I currently live in an apartment. If need be I can stay at your home. I like to keep your pets on as normal of a schedule as possible. Over the years I have seen the benefits of a daily routine for animals. They are already missing their people. Being able to stay in a familiar environment with their normal routine helps alleviate some of that anxiety. I am also willing to even stop by walk and feed them if that is what you need.

About: I've grown up around animals my entire life and while I love them all, dogs hold a special place in my heart. Now in my adult life, owning a fur-baby (dog) myself, I truly understand the concern around finding someone to look after them while you're away and cannot bring them with. Because if we could bring them every where, we would, right!? :) I work from home full-time Monday thru Friday, which provides the flexibility to care for your fur-baby. I have several years of experience dog sitting, dog walking, and house sitting for family, friends, and colleagues. I would love to get to know your fur-baby and provide the best possible care for them! ** Unfortunately because of my own dog being reactive, I cannot board at this time. Since I work from home, I am able to provide your fur-baby the attention and care they need depending on their specific needs. I know dogs thrive on a consistent schedule and am happy to help maintain their normal routine while you're away from home. My top priority is make sure your fur-baby feels "at home" where ever they are. If they have a specific routine that we need to follow every day, I will adhere to them.

“This was my first time not only using Rover but leaving my dog with someone to watch. I was quite nervous and Gus is still a puppy so he has LOTS of puppy energy. Alex was great and was even willing to meet before the visit to chat about Gus and play with him. I really liked how Alex has a boxer herself and knew how energetic they can be. She took Gus on long walks and played. I loved receiving pictures of him on each of her visits. Alex knew the right questions to ask so she could do a great job. It was a relief to know I was leaving Gus with someone safe. Highly recommend picking Alex for your next sitter!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including training service dogs and working professionally as a groomer. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, different breeds, and pets requiring extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I am currently home full time after returning from deployment, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have plenty of flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I offer both in-home pet sitting and boarding in my home. For boarding, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, medication, and daily routines as closely as possible. For in-home visits, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule. With over 10 years of experience, including service dog training and professional grooming, I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments.

About: We have two rescue dogs and I love to help with any dog sitting needs you may have. In addition to walk your dogs, I also offer short/medium runs if your dog loves some more exercise. I love dogs and will give you some peace of mind while taking care of your furry family member. No dog is too big or too small. Mornings, lunch time and afternoons/evenings are no problem during the week. Weekends are open and can be worked out with your desired schedule or routine your pet may have. We have a fenced yard with plenty of space and a pool. The pool is screened in and pets can be kept away if desired. Our own dogs are friendly and love to play, but can be kept away from your pet if desired.

About: I'm 20 and worked at a pet store for a little over 1.5 years. I absolutely fell in love with helping dogs, cats, exotics, and their people! I also have a few pets of my own, though they’re pretty odd and non-traditional :) My availability is pretty much completely open. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime to ask about scheduling. I’m sure we can work something out! I like to think I get along with most of the animals I come across. I also pride myself on providing the most thoughtful and attentive care that I possibly can to any kind of pets that I may encounter; dogs, cats, and everything in between :)

About: hi i'm Jake. I grew up with golden retrievers and currently have 2 huskies. i appreciate when people are able to take time and walk my dogs when i'm at work or unavailable and so i would like to give back (up to) an hour of my day to help others dogs that need a midday dog walk. i am a nurse and work 3 days a week, so i usually have 1-2 hours free on most Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays to help you and your dog out. i will walk your dog, let them potty, feed/water them. i will give them an adequate break from the house/ crate while you're away/ working.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Melbourne Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Melbourne Beach is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per visit. 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 1,147 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Melbourne Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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. 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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Melbourne Beach. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
