“My husband and I were very happy with how our animals (family) were taken care of. We have no hesitation using her again. She sent us photos and was always responsive. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch over their animals. Thank you Elisha and Rover!!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats my whole life. My 16 year old pitbull/american bulldog mix Riley was the light of my life. She passed away in April and I’m not ready yet to adopt again. Recently I have been watching my friends dogs for company at home because my apartment feels so empty without her. I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies and reactive dogs as well. I also have experience with administering medication and caring for dogs with special needs. I am responsive around the clock- I work full time in Marine Operations at Norwegian cruise line so I am always available by phone and you will never have difficulty reaching me. Monday through Thursday I usually go to the office from about 7am - 2pm. If a dog I’m caring for needs more attention I usually just take some work from home days. Otherwise we would have a nice long sunrise walk before I leave home at 7 and an afternoon walk upon my arrival at 2:30 ish. If your dog enjoys car rides I would also love to take them on adventures to get coffee, or visit my parents (they live just 10 blocks from me). It’s really whatever your dog is accustomed to I will provide. I live in a spacious apartment 1 bed 2 bath. My building has a dog park in the complex, but I prefer to walk in my neighborhood. It’s a beautiful area with lots of waterfront and grass in front of the homes for exploring. In my apartment, Dogs are allowed on all the furniture but if that’s not allowed in your house I won’t encourage it.
“Anthony goes above and beyond every single time. He’s always on point with Jayda’s medications and therapies, helps her move around comfortably, and treats her with such care and patience. She’s always happy and responsive with him, which says it all. His communication is excellent—daily updates, lots of photos, and complete peace of mind while I’m away. I also came home to a clean, tidy house, which I really appreciate. It’s such a relief knowing Jayda and my home are both in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Rosanna was nice responsible and easy to communicate with. She stayed in contact through the whole process and sent me updates and pictures. She also put up with my pups medical needs without problem. They looked unphased and relaxed when I came back.”
“Luciana took great care of our dogs and home while we were traveling. She was super responsive via text, and kept us updated with photos. Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Andrea makes my cat so happy. She is very thoughtful and considerate in her care. And spends good, quality time with her. My cat especially enjoys the playtime and cuddles! She also introduced my kitty to cat TV which she loves! :)”
“My father passed away unexpectedly and I had to leave for New York within minutes. My biggest concern was my two dogs. I reached out to Anna and she came immediately without hesitation. From that moment on, I was completely worry-free. She sent consistent updates, photos, and videos, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for the entire week. She stayed with them full-time and kept me calm during a very difficult time. When I returned home, my house was spotless and beautifully organized. She truly went above and beyond. She is the best dog sitter I’ve used in 9 years — 100% trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Leo helped me out when I was in a jam. He agreed to take care of my dog and cat on very short notice and did a great job with them, keeping me informed multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Macenna. She took such warm, attentive care of my dog—it was clear from the start that my pup felt comfortable and happy. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, my home was left spotless and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Nick was fantastic and took great care of our dog and our place. Very communicative - lots of great photos! And flexible when our flight was cancelled and we had to return one day later than planned. We would absolutely work with him again.”
About: I grew up in a big animal-loving family, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. We’ve fostered countless litters of kittens over the years, and I’ve helped raise everything from tiny babies to shy rescues to senior cats who need a slower, gentler routine. I also have a family dog, so I’m totally comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime, and keeping a consistent schedule. I’m energetic, reliable, and very tuned in to each animal’s personality. I keep everything super tidy and always send updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet will be cared for with patience, attention, and real affection, just like I treat my own pets. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I’m able to offer part-time pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work around your routine and check in as often as you need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your instructions closely, keep your home secure and tidy, and pay attention to any changes in your pet’s behavior or routine. Since I care for pets in their own space, they stay relaxed in an environment they know. I will update you regularly so you always know they’re safe and happy.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I now have 2 cats. I’ve done puppy and senior dog care. I’m experienced with cat care, litter boxes and medications, nail clippings and more. Pet sitting will be my full source of income, and something I enjoy and will have an open schedule for. Available weekdays and weekends. On weekends preferably morning to early afternoon. My dogs always had a fenced yard, but I moved into an apartment so they went on multiple walks a day due to not having a yard. Fed twice a day, walks throughout the entire day. I’m experienced with giving dogs medicine and shots due to one of mine having diabetes. I am very experienced with puppies I’ve had three. Adaptable to anything that a pet owner requests for their dogs care. I currently own 2 cats, one is 6 the other is 2. One male one female, my female is a rescue so I’m experienced with more timid/shy cats. I know cleaning litter schedules, importance of dry/wet food diets.
“Isabel did a fantastic job with our dog, Bear, at very short notice. Bear has multiple degenerative diseases and is newly blind and she was very patient and loving with him. She gave him a shot and pills twice a day and took him for walks. She sent me great updates and pics too. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Jess took great care of my Dachshund while I was away. She was responsive, kept me updated with photos, and was always easy to reach. I appreciated how attentive she was to both my dog and my home. Knowing everything was being taken care of made traveling much less stressful. I’d definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: Former St. Bernard owner here that loves all dogs big and small. I wfh and have pet sat dogs all over the world. When you book me you can feel at ease knowing your dog is properly cared for. Before confirming booking I like to do meet and greets. This is to ensure both your 4 legged friend and I get along. Also I am allergic to cats so I can only accept bookings from folks without cats. I’m currently working from home so I have the perfect schedule to dog sit all day or take your dog for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. I will follow any instructions left by you on how to properly care for your dog. I want this to be a pleasant and seamless experience for both you and your dog.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Bay Village
We could not be more grateful for Tara and her AMAZING care of our 2 dogs Luca and Bonnie. They can be a handful and she was an absolute PRO with them! She kept them thoroughly entertained with lots of games of fetch and exploring around our neighborhood. We also got the BEST and most thorough updates 3 times a day with tons of cute pictures and videos. Cannot say enough about how amazing she is. Her communication is a 10/10 and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help taking such great care of our pups! Have already recommended her to many of our friends, would highly suggest you book her for any of your pet needs!!!
I had a fantastic experience with Macenna. She took such warm, attentive care of my dog—it was clear from the start that my pup felt comfortable and happy. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, my home was left spotless and well cared for. Highly recommend!
Anna was amazing! I had family wedding to attend and my frenchie ended up with an eye ulcer in the weeks before. She’s with a cone and requires 4 eye meds multiple times a day. I was so nervous to leave my girl! But, Anna was organized and attentive. She sent me constant updates and she learned about my dog’s condition in order to best care for her. She left my apartment spotless. I would 100% use her again and completely trust her.
I highly recommend booking Mia! She did a house stay with our cat for over a week, and we had total peace of mind because she was so communicative and sent regular detailed updates. She also spent a ton of quality time with our cat, it’s clear that she really loves animals. And she took great care of the house and left it clean. Thanks again Mia!
So appreciative to have Gabriela come stay with my cat, Saber. Saber had a medical procedure and needed to be in a onesie and cone at all times and I felt comfortable leaving him with Gabriela for the day! She had great communication, arrived on time each time, and sent pics of him during the stay. Thank you!!
Jodi has a great demeanor and you can tell she is super responsible. She sat my two cats for a few nights and all went smooth. There wasn’t a lot of communication and I had to make sure she got in ok and check in, but that’s fine. She let me know when she left and listed what she did on the way out. My only qualms were that the water tank in the cat water system was completely empty and the litter hadn’t been cleaned out the day she left, which were clear on my instructions. Besides that all went well. She is a very nice person and I had a comfortable meet and greet with her beforehand. I would hire her again for sure.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Bay Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Bay Village on Rover is $53.39 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,232 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Bay Village. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 North Bay Village 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 North Bay Village 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 North Bay Village 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Bay Village. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
