“We felt at ease leaving our 3 dogs and additional pets at our home with Alex for the week while we were away. We loved the daily updates and pictures. She also took wonderful care of our home and left it better than it was when we left. We would definitely use her services again.”
“We left our nervous pup with Hannah, and she was so patient and kind with him! She kept us updated throughout the stay which helped make the first time away from him as easy as possible! Will absolutely be booking Hannah again!”
“Lauren was AMAZING! This was one of the first times we went out of town and didn’t feel anxious about our dogs being taken care of. Her communication is great. We received lots of pictures and updates. She spoiled our pups. Super thankful we found her!”
“We really enjoyed having her stay with our dogs! She was so nice and caring, and I really appreciated that she checked on them regularly throughout the day. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were getting plenty of attention while we were away. I also really liked that she’s studying veterinary medicine—it made me feel even more comfortable knowing our dogs were in such caring and knowledgeable hands. We’d definitely have her watch them again!”
“Tamara was fantastic with my two old pomeranians. She sent photos and kept in communications. I highly recommend and have booked again for the following weekend.”
“Ruth was amazing! My poor baby had a seizure right before I left and she did an amazing job at keeping me updated on things. She goes above and beyond with things like taking notes if your dog needs meds or has special needs! Definitely recommend her!”
“Amazing! Sophia was absolutely fabulous. She kept us updated with pictures and gave us great feedback on how Ricky did while we were gone. Truly the best care for our dog ever! So grateful. Thank you Sophia!!!!!!”
“Mindy is awesome ! She agreed to an early 6:30 am house sitting and was even a tad early ! The puppies recognized her immediately and barely noticed when I left and were napping when I returned. We all feel safe with Mindy and appreciate her.”
“Destiny is the BEST!!! Highly recommend her!!!!!!! Second time she has stayed - I’m 100% confident and comfortable and could not recommend her more - the dogs are happy and well cared for, she’s a fabulous communicator and we are just so incredibly at ease knowing she’s at home when we can’t be. She’s simply the BEST!!!”
“I could not have asked for better last-minute care for my stressed out pups, than Sayla. She was punctual, professional, adored my dogs and asked all the right questions, was super honest about everything going on. She went above and beyond —several visits beforehand and extra care once settled in—and you can tell she sincerely loves dogs and their welfare and making them comfortable is her top priority. I would recommend Sayla in a heartbeat!”
“I contacted Andrea last minute and she gladly accepted my ask to watch Tex. She sent me pictures during her visit and treated Tex (and my kitten Bama) like her own. She is trustworthy, kind, and hard-working. 5/5 recommend and I will be using her again.”
“Kyrstyn was an amazing pet sitter!! I needed someone on a very short notice and she was so accommodating to our family. Our dogs and cats loved her!! She took excellent care of them and was very communicative and sent pictures every day. We would absolutely use her again on the next time we needed a sitter.”
About: I grew up in a family that bred Chihuahuas, so caring for dogs has been part of my life from a young age. I have experience with puppies as well as adult dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and lots of attention! I’m also a dog mom myself and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. As a teacher, I’m dependable, patient, responsible, and attentive. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾 I’m a full-time teacher with a consistent schedule, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. I also have school breaks and holidays throughout the year that give me additional flexibility for pet care. I’m happy to work with you to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m careful to follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention and affection while respecting their personality and what they want. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾

Your needs and instructions will become our mandate and with a fenced yard, you will have a carefree relaxing time away. Will send many pics of your pet!!
About: I’ve been caring for pets professionally for many years. In my 20s and 30s, I owned and operated All Paws Pet Sitting Services in South Florida while also working for VCA Animal Hospital. After pursuing a successful corporate career, I’m excited to return to my pet care roots and bring that same level of dependable, compassionate care to families here on the Space Coast. I love caring for both furry and scaly family members. Dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, and other exotic pets are all welcome. I also have the support of my partner, who has years of hands-on experience caring for exotic reptiles and animals and is just as passionate about dogs as I am. Together, we understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and we’re committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care while you’re away. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a senior companion, or a special-needs reptile, you can count on attentive care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that your pets are being treated like family. Bonus: I have professional experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and other exotic pets—something that’s hard to find on Rover. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable visits, walks, feedings, medications, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. Caring for animals has always been a passion, and I’m excited to make it a regular part of my life here on the Space Coast. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their schedule, personality, favorite activities, and any special needs before you leave. I provide plenty of love, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, medications if needed, and lots of updates with photos so you can relax while you’re away. I respect your home as if it were my own and always make sure doors, gates, and enclosures are secure. With my background owning a professional pet sitting business and working at VCA Animal Hospital, you can feel confident your pets are in experienced, caring hands.
“Omg Ben was amazing!!!!! He decided to last minute rearrange his schedule, and dog sit our “zoo” and he went above and beyond our needs. Our home was left better than we left it for him, he went out of his way to do the kindest chores for us, and our dogs were so sad when he left! They didn’t only get the pleasure of spending the weekend with the dog whisperer, but definitely a forever friend for them!!! I know they’ll never forget the massage he gave them!! ❤️ I’d trust Ben with my life probably! He gave our pets massages, he was so kind to inform me about an eye watering situation one of my dogs had. Send me the sweetest pictures and videos, and I just cant begin to put into words the immaculate care and love my fur babies received by him! He is a dog whisperer. Thank you so much Ben for everything!!! Outside the dog note, he even was so nice enough to help deal with the lawn care people that showed up after we left. He is such a stellar, wholesome, human!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Melbourne Beach
This is the first time we have used Jen for dog sitting and we were very pleased. She sent us photos of Dunkin throughout the week and he looked very relaxed. If she had any questions about Dunkin's care and/or the house, she reached out and texted me. Jen made this a very relaxing vacation.

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 Melbourne 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 Melbourne 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!
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.
