“Micheal was fantastic from the first point of contact . Communication was excellent before caring for Holly and Kobe and during the time they were in his care. Micheal ensured he had all the information he needed to care for Holly and Kobe . He took the time to get to know them before we went away . Whilst we was on holiday Micheal would send daily updates with photos. We did not have to worry about Holly and Kobe whilst on holiday as we knew they were being well cared for . We had two happy dogs on our return from holiday and they have not sulked with us for the first time for leaving them !”

About: Throughout my life, we have added several different dog breeds to our family. I will care for your fur babies as they were my own. I am so lucky to have adopted puppies and cared for them until the end of their lives. I am a very caring person and will give your pets lots of attention and love. I am retired, so with that I have plenty of time to play and love your pet. I am available during the week even over night. I have plenty of room in my house for them and will be glad to walk them. I do have a patio that I can close if they want to spend time out doors.

“I booked house-sitting services with Julissa for my two Boston terriers. One of them being a senior pup that requires medication administration and has higher needs in general… Julissa was incredible with the both of them. She kept in consistent communication with me, sent multiple photos, took them on multiple walks, reached out responsibly with specific questions to ensure she was meeting their needs appropriately, and overall showed them a lot of love. She also left my house clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Julissa for anyone needing pet care… I will definitely be using her again!”

About: Ever since I was 6 years old, I have been taking care of animals of all sorts for as long as I can remember. Cats, bunnies, chickens, reptiles, birds, dogs and fish. Animals deserve respect and each have their own boundaries and needs same as the family that takes care of them, communication is key and I endeavor to deliver. I have plenty of free time to use for good. And what better way then to spend it with pets? I am very flexible, I only need one day in advance, but if you have an emergency feel free to reach out, I might be able to help. I only do care in the client's home, and I follow the family's routine and instructions. I prefer not to interfere with established habits, to minimize stress on the animal. I have cared for different species of pets, played with them, walked them, fed them, cleaned after them and administered prescribed medication. Besides English, I also speak Spanish and Russian.

“Sally was AMAZING with our boy Banks and we were so happy to have had her help while my wife and I were away on vacation. She sent consistent updates and took very good care of our puppy. He had a little bit of a health scare and she immediately put our minds at ease by taking him to get evaluated and updated us throughout the entire process. Everything ended up being okay and she kept a close eye on him and made sure he was happy and healthy. We highly recommend Sally and are very happy to have been introduced to her.”

About: I have always loved all types of animals. My family has bred, trained, and shown multiple different breeds of dogs. I’m very good and training all different breeds and well known to have the best behaved dogs. If I had it my way I would have a ranch full of all different types of animals. I’m very gentle and normally can read dogs and go at their pace for training or care. I love to walk dogs and play with cats. I no longer have a pet of my own, but wanna fill that void by watching over you alls. I’m pretty open and love to just spend time with animals. I have flexible schedule and can work remotely right now. I can focus on each animals individual timely needs. I’m a pretty ocd individual and like to keep things tidy and clean. I start the day off with walk then feeding animals. Play throughout the day. Afternoon walks and then dinner and more play time. Depending on animal they normally can sleep with me as well.

About: Hi, I'm Toi, and I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your home and beloved pets in someone else’s care. I am conscientious about keeping a home clean, secure, and cared for, and I treat every home as I would want someone to treat my own. I’m attentive to details, reliable about following instructions, and proactive when it comes to communication. I enjoy the simple pleasures of life, spending time with animals, getting outside and watching soccer. For me, house and pet sitting is about more than just watching a home or feeding a pet. It’s about providing peace of mind to the people who are away and making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re gone. I would be honored to care for your home and your furry family members as if they were my own. Pet care is a consistent part of my life, I have my own dog, and I've been pet and house sitting for over ten years. Caring for animals isn't occasional for me, it's a daily habit, whether it's my own dog's routine of feeding, walks, and playtime, or looking after someone else's pets while they're away. I treat every animal I care for as if it were my own, making sure their feeding schedule, exercise, and comfort stay consistent even when their owners aren't there. I'm also very respectful of the homes I stay in, treating each one with the same care and attention to detail I'd want if it were mine. When I'm sitting at a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible with consistent feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions they provide, like medications or special diets. I treat their home and their pet with the same respect and attention I'd want for my own, keeping the house clean and undisturbed, and making sure their pet gets the same love and consistency they're used to when their owner is home.

About: I grew up around animals and helped care for dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, cattle, and even bees on my dad’s farm. That experience made me very comfortable around animals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, check-ins, and following their normal routines. I’m attentive, dependable, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in nursing school with a fairly flexible schedule outside of class and clinical days. I keep my Rover calendar updated and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week, including many mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’m happy to send photos and updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll also treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: Family would always host pets. I’ve had many pets growing up, including tortoises, birds, ferrets, etc! It’s important to me that they are treated with care and patience and I have the experience for that! I currently work an 8-5 so I am available after work. I am available on weekends! I’m pretty good at coordinating and working around my schedule to make sure I can do the job ! I personally like the companionship of animals. I think care, attention, and patience is vital to caring for any animal. I understand I am there to just care for the pet so I want to respect the homeowners privacy and make sure they feel comfortable working with me

About: My love for animals started very young. My dad was always taking in stray cats, and I grew up with a dog as part of our family. That love of animals naturally led me to start caring for homes, children, and pets by the age of 14, so being a trusted caretaker has been part of my life for a long time. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, which is probably why I’m that person who wants to stop and pet every dog that passes me! I am, however, a very proud aunt to two lovely cats, Peter and Abraham. Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I love getting to know their individual personalities. I’m active and energetic, so I’m always happy to get outside for a long walk, play, explore, or give an energetic dog the exercise and attention they need. I’m just as happy spending time cuddling with a pet or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while their family is away. I’m also a bit of a neat freak! I take pride in keeping a home clean, organized, and cared for. When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. My goal is for you to come home to happy, well-loved pets—and perhaps a home that’s even a little cleaner than when you left it. Most importantly, I understand the trust it takes to leave both your pets and your home in someone else’s hands. I’m dependable, attentive, loving, and will care for them as though they were my own. I’m currently a freelance makeup and nail artist, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet and house sitting. My freelance work is typically appointment-based, so if I do need to step out for a few hours, I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s routine and be back for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I love being active and getting outside, so having a four-legged walking companion fits naturally into my day! When house or pet sitting, I’m also happy spending time at home with your pets so they have companionship and can stay comfortable in their normal routine. I’m flexible and will always discuss your pet’s schedule and needs with you beforehand. I currently plan to provide care primarily in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I know every pet and household has its own routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding and medications to litter care, playtime, companionship, and all the little habits that help your pet feel safe and happy. I’m very attentive to an animal’s personality and cues. Some pets want constant affection and company, while others need a little time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I’m also extremely clean and organized and very respectful of other people’s homes. I’ll keep pet areas, bowls, litter areas, and the spaces I use clean and tidy. My goal is for you to come home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a home that may be even a little cleaner than when you left it!

About: Hello!! My name is Laura and I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. I currently care for a variety of pets including my dog, three cats, two birds, and a ferret, so I’m very comfortable managing different types of animals and their unique needs. I usually am hired by neighbors and friends of neighbors but I figured I try this style out! I care from big to small dogs and I can also care for exotic pets! I have experience with feeding routines, cleaning up after pets, playtime, walks, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I also regularly help take care of my friends’ pets when they’re away, so I understand how important it is for owners to trust that their pets are in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. Also, not only am I taking care of your pets, I also take care of your house! I will treat your space with the utmost respect as I would expect from mine. I can water plants, vacuum, any sort of easy cleaning I can do! Pool, yard work, let me know! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m able to visit multiple times per day if needed and will always make sure your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and comfort are my top priority. Safety and trust are extremely important when caring for someone else’s pet. Since I have multiple pets of my own, I understand how important it is to know your animals are in good hands. I always pay close attention to pets, make sure they’re comfortable in their environment, and follow any instructions given so they stay happy and safe.

About: I’ve taken care of of all sized dogs since a child. I live a very active lifestyle and would love to walk / care for dogs as I currently do not have dogs of my own. I have just started my new business and could do with the extra capital. Also, this is a great way to get out for a run / walk to get out the house while loving your babies. I have included our wedding photo so you can see my family as I know your animals are part of your family. I have a fenced in yard with a pool. I am 4 min away from a fantastic dog park.

Jackson is our hands down go-to person for all dog care. He is just amazing with our 2 active dogs! He keeps them on their rigorous activity routine so that we always come home to relaxed, happy dogs. The house is immaculate, mail brought in, plants watered! We receive daily updates and photos. Our friends in the neighborhood always comment how he is out and about and so conscientious with the dogs and super friendly. It allows my husband and I to really relax and enjoy our trips, knowing that the dogs are so happy and in the best of hands.

Michael made it easy for me to not worry about anything. He regularly sent photos. My pup takes a bit to warm up and Michael was very patient with her. Michael took care of my dog in my home and when I returned it was just as I left it. He is awesome!!!!

She also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, taking the trash out and back in, and helping with other little things around the house that made coming home so much easier.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Palm Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in North Palm Beach is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $89 per night. 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 1,830 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Palm Beach. 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 Palm 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 North Palm 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.

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 Palm 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!

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.

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 .

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.
