“She is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Not only did she take excellent care of Sunny, but she also went above and beyond to give attention and love to all of my pets. She was incredibly understanding and patient with my dog, who had recently undergone surgery, and she made sure to administer her medications exactly as needed. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them as if they were her own. Knowing that my pets were in such caring and trustworthy hands gave me so much peace of mind. Without a doubt, she will be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for my pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible, loving, and truly dedicated to their pets!”

About: I love all animals but I do travel sometimes so I currently do not have any of my own. I grew up with all types of animals from dogs to cats, bunnies, hamsters, horses and such. I trained both of the yorkshire terriers that we've had. We have a 15 year old yorkie that lives with my daughter now. I am currently not working so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available quite often for walks. I am also available most days and some nights to care for your pet. I would rather care for your pet in their own environment because that is typically where they feel safe and comfortable. It is also a way to keep their regular routine.

“Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m Karina — a lifelong animal lover with a deep-rooted passion for caring for pets. Growing up on a farm shaped my connection with animals and taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and routines. Today, my home is still full of that same love: I have a Mini Aussie named Taylor, a fish named Jack, a cockatiel named Maya, and a baby Payton named Gaia. I’ve also cared for cats back in Brazil, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family — with patience, attention, and genuine affection. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make communication a priority. You can expect regular updates with photos, videos, and quick responses whenever you reach out. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of time, care, and companionship throughout the day. I would truly love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a freelancer working from home, I maintain a highly flexible schedule and am available most days, including weekends. I am also flexible as far as last minute cancellations if you need to for a personal reason. I will provide regular updates through photos and videos, and I am also happy to share my location while caring for your pup to ensure complete transparency and peace of mind. I am highly attentive and committed to making sure you feel fully comfortable and confident entrusting your beloved pet to my care.

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.

“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: Animals have been a HUGE part of my life for over 10 years, both personally and professionally! My very first job was working at a doggy daycare before becoming a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic, where I gained a ton of experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs. Since then, I've done foster work within the Brevard community, taking in animals who needed a safe place to land. I have fostered 8 puppies (at once!), a few Great Danes, and most recently, our Black Lab, Bodie, who was initially a hospice foster due to his kidney disease, but after the rescue could not provide any more funding for his medical issues, we took matters into our own hands and he officially became a foster fail! Besides our most recent addition, Bodie, we have my first ever dog Kole who's now 8 years old, our 4-year-old Golden Retriever, Mac and two rescue cats, Abo and Rocky. But my love for animals goes far past just dogs and cats, I even had a Chinchilla and a Chinese Water Dragon! If there's one thing I understand, it's how hard it can be to trust someone with your animals. My pets mean the world to me, and I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for them. When your pets are in my care, I treat them like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and a BUNCH of love! My schedule is currently very flexible while I complete coursework online, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets! I can easily work around different routines, schedules, and individual pet needs. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets, so I take that seriously. I like to get to know each pet and their routine, including what they like, what they don’t like, and anything I should know before caring for them. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or staying with them while you’re away, I want them to feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also always respect your home and your instructions, and of course I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pets are doing good!

About: I've grown up in a house with animals constantly. At 1 point, having more than 10 animals in a house. We had cats, pigs, dogs and fish. As well as some reptiles and ferrets. It's genuingly one of the most enjoyable things in the world playing and figuring out what animals love. Especially as they get to know, you and warm up to you. I currently am in full-time school so a good portion of my time is spent studying or working. My schedule right now is flexible because I'm in between jobs. I'm free to go over to anyone's house and I am willing to carry first aid kit and have a vehicle in case of emergencies, like they need to go to an ER. I have a flexible schedule for anyone willing as well as know basic wound care and distribution of medication as well. If I had to take care of quite a bit of sick animals and I know the routine of keeping track of symptoms and documentation.

About: Hello! I’m Alex, and I’ve been a professional care taker for animals the last three years. Most of my experience has been with exotic animals, however over the past year I’ve been spending more time with cats and dogs. My other profession outside of rover is a Vet Assistant, so I’m always spending time with animals! I am currently working full time as a vet assistant, however I typically get off at 6pm and can do drop ins! Tuesday and Saturdays are my free days and I can provide more services. Safety is my top priority. Before taking care of your loved ones, we would discuss the best plan and guidelines for your pets to ensure the best care possible for them.

Lauren did an amazing job taking care of my two doggies. She showed them lots of love! My house has a ring doorbell on it and so I can see when she got there and when she took them for walks and how happy they were to see her. I highly recommend Lauren if you need someone to take care of your animals. I definitely will be using her again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Melbourne Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Melbourne Beach is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 1,183 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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
  • 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
