It was my first time leaving my puppy with a pet sitter, and I was honestly a little nervous. From beginning to end, Larissa cared for my baby as if she were her own. She kept me updated, made sure she was comfortable, and showed so much love and attention. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for the care she gave him and would absolutely trust her again!

About: I have two wonderful dogs of my own that I’ve lovingly cared over 5+ years and I’ve also enjoyed helping care for my sister’s dog. These experiences have taught me just how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat every pet like a cherished member of my own family. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making sure each pet receives plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and personalized care. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and routine, and I always strive to keep them happy, relaxed, and tail wagging with joy!! My goal is to give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring, trustworthy, and loving hands! 🐶✨ Pet care already fits into my daily schedule since I have two dogs of my own. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them lots of love. I also have a lot of free time on the weekends which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I make sure pets have a safe and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual routines, provide fresh food and water, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also take them on regular walks and make sure they get enough exercise and playtime to keep them happy and healthy.

Mafalda was absolutely amazing with my two Golden Retrievers, Izzy and Lou. From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care, and she exceeded every expectation. She kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from every update that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like they were her own. Izzy and Lou looked happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Mafalda is kind, reliable, attentive, and an excellent communicator. I came home to two happy dogs, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets. Thank you, Mafalda, for taking such wonderful care of Izzy and Lou! We will definitely be booking with you again.

This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous, but we will definitely book Ashley again.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m very patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. Each day includes feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, training, and health checks, with weekly grooming, cleaning, and restocking supplies. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, keep spaces clean and secure, and communicate regularly with owners to ensure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or theirs.

About: I have had many different dogs over the years and cared for more than one dog at a time, which makes me very comfortable in caring for your fur babies and understanding their many personalities. Also, I believe socialization is very important for all dogs so if you are comfortable, I am able to take them to a dog park (I have one near my home). This will allow them to create new friends and make their experience more enjoyable. Overall, I am trying to avoid getting another pet, so if you let me care for your fur baby I would heavily appreciate it :D As you can tell from my photos I treat all pets like they are a part of my family. Rest assured your baby and I will become best friends. I am a remote worker which allows me more time to care for your babies and a lot of flexibility. I believe this would be a mutually beneficial relationship as I'd be able to enjoy my day playing with dogs, while you won't be worried about taking your dog out. If you ever need to board your dog I am available on the weekends and if you need a house sitter because it would make your fur baby more comfortable I am flexible on those dates as well. I have a multitude of toys, treats, and puzzles to keep them engaged and happy. I also have a dog park which tends to not be busy which allows for running and fetch time in a safe environment.

I have experience in filing nails, bathing, cleaning ears, walking and taking care of puppies and senior dogs. I'm working part time but have a very flexible schedule thanks to summer break! I update my schedule weekly according to my outside job. I have one very friendly frenchie to keep your baby company, but if separate rooms are preferred, that can be done as well! In my client's home, I'll be sure to leave everything as is while still giving full attention to my furry friend.

About: I am a great care giver, I will run with your dog for an exceptionally long time. Your dog will get tired before I do. I'm athletic, very sympathetic, I'm also in love with dogs. I had a Yorkshire who sadly passed away from old age, so I would love to continue passing all of that love and nurturing that he recieved. I took care of my dog for over 14 years now and have given these services for over 6 years, so I'd say I'm pretty skilled in dog sitting and dog walks. You won't regret choosing me. I'm available anytime after 4 from Sunday to Thursday and am available all day on Friday and Saturday. Taking care of dogs is one of the things that I simply just love to do. I feel that a bond can be created just by saying, "You're a Good Boy/Girl!" Thank you for choosing me! I am currently working full time at a substance abuse and mental health rehab center. This means that I work 5, 8 hour shifts out of the week during the morning shift from 7:30a-4p. However, I have another person that assists me at home to care for the dog while I am absent and they are as responsible as I am. I do not have a fenced yard. I have a lake outside my door and I will take your lovely pooch out for walks around that lake. If you do not have a crate, I can provide one.

About: Trusted and loving pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I grew up with English Bulldogs, a Rottweiler, a German Shepherd, and a Pug, so I’m confident handling all breeds and personalities. I work from home, allowing me to provide attentive dog walks and a safe, calm, and loving home for boarding—your dog will be treated like family ❤️ I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I don’t have children, so I can focus on the pets in my care. My condo has a backyard where dogs can enjoy some fresh air, and I love taking them on walks through the many nearby green spaces and walking paths. My home is quiet, comfortable, and peaceful, creating a calm environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. During walks, I always keep dogs on a leash and stay alert to our surroundings. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your routine, keep your home tidy, and make sure your pet receives the same loving care they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other pets for about 3 years. Also, I have a dog and cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m nurturing, attentive to each pet’s routine and needs, and committed to making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a part-time worker, I have plenty of time to integrate visits or house sitting into my day. I’m attentive and flexible, making sure each pet gets the time, care, and attention they need, whether it’s a quick check-in, play session, or overnight stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine and instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort. I provide feeding, playtime, walks, litter box maintenance, and any medications needed. I give pets calm, attentive companionship, keep the space clean, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for.

About: I’ve worked in caregiving roles that required patience, attentiveness, and understanding different behaviors and personalities, which naturally carries over into pet care. I’m calm, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, energy levels, and body language to make sure each pet gets care tailored to them. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, affectionate, or needs extra patience, I focus on creating a stress-free and loving environment while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I currently work a 9–5 job, so I’m available for pet care in the evenings after 5 PM on weekdays. I’m reliable with evening walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets still get consistent attention and care after their daytime routine. I’m also available on weekends with flexible scheduling, which allows me to provide more extended care when needed, including multiple visits or longer stays. I prioritize following each pet’s routine closely and keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I live in an apartment complex it’s not allowed for pets to stay the night but walks are allowed the area is very safe and pet friendly

I reached out to Amber at the last minute for house sitting services because I had a cancellation from my other dogsitter. Amber was super flexible and honest with me about what she could and could not do on such short notice. She was able to meet my dog the very next day for a meet and greet after I sent the request. That was super helpful because I was leaving for a trip in 3 days. My dog was well taken care of and I came back to a happy dog. I will definitely add Amber to my very short list of reliable dogsitters.

Kristina was absolutely amazing!!! She has so much energy, which is so valuable since I have 2 huskies. She took them on multiple walks a day, took them to the nearby dog park + played with them in our backyard. One of my dogs takes medication for his epilepsy, and she was a pro at administering. She was very communicative, giving me regular updates + photos. She also goes over + beyond!! I didn't expect or request any cleaning, but she insisted, washing bed linens + remaking the bed, cleaning the bathroom, and vacuuming the house! She also thoroughly brushed our dogs, making their coats look better than ever! She even left us all treats on her way out!! My pets had a blast with her + it was great to have someone so reliable + trustworthy so that we could focus on enjoying our vacation. We can't wait to hire her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Lauderdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in North Lauderdale on Rover is $49.95 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 4,646 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Lauderdale. 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 Lauderdale 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 Lauderdale 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 Lauderdale 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.

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.
