“Tara is a wonderful Dog Sitter. She cared for my little Yorkie for 13 days. Ginger looked happy and healthy. She did a great job with her medicine and food. Shave went the extra mile with her. I would highly recommend Tara.”
“Samantha did a fantastic job with our dogs. Took them a couple days to warm up but became fast buddies. Thanks Samantha for holding down the fort. We'll be contacting you soon for another sitting job”
“This was Rebecca's second time taking care of my pup while I was out of town. I've tried a few sitters for Lulu over the years and Rebecca is by far the best!! Lulu LOVES Rebecca and I can truly feel at ease while I'm traveling knowing that she's at my home taking care of Lulu! She's a great photographer and communicator, plus my house was neat and clean when I returned!”
“My 3 dogs were taken care of for 2 weeks at my home and they were all fine and no issues with escaping. One of them realized she could jump my fence right before I left but there was no escaping when I was gone because she kept the doors locked. My dog checks! She handled them and I had peace of mind.”
“Our dog Kelsey has a new best buddy. Tracy did a wonderful job with our high energy German Shorthaired Pointer. Fortunately, Tracy has just about as much energy as Kelsey. We'll definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”
“Aaliyah was absolutely fabulous with my 3 month old puppy. She stayed the entire time during my house sit and sent lots of update pictures to ease my nerves of leaving him for the first time. I strongly recommend Aaliyah and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She watched my two year old golden retriever for four days. She sent me photos and updates daily and gave me a great peace of mind knowing someone was taking care of my dog the same way I would!”
“Lisa was great. She stayed at our house and took care of our pets and our home. She communicated with us before and during the stay. She came over to meet the dogs and learn about staying at the house. She sent pictures of the dogs during her stay. When we returned home the dogs were healthy and happy AND our house was tidy and clean. Would definitely recommend Lisa. She loves dogs!”
About: I was a kennel supervisor for 8 years. I have sat neighbors animals and family friends animals. I am a Registered Nurse of 30 years! When your pet stays at my house they will be treated as if they were my own. I have an 8 year old black lab Fin who gets along well with all dogs. Your dog will not be in a crate. They are free to roam my house and lay on the couch and cuddle with Fin 🐶❤️. Daily walks are a must ! I have a fenced back yard where the dogs can freely go potty and play. I never take more than 2 dogs at a time so your pup will get the individualized care they deserve . I currently work part time and there are always people home! No matter what hour or day we are here to provide the most optimal care! I will feed them, play with them, walk them, and give them all the attention they need as if they were my own dog 🐕!
“Iloira was spectacular. She met with my fur babies ahead of time and was extremely communicative with messages, photos and even a video. I would highly recommend Iloira and have already booked her for future dates.”
“We were extremely happy with the care Megan provided. This was our first time using Rover with house/pet sitter and so happy we did. We came home from our 5 day trip to a very happy Brady! Megan sent us pictures and messages daily and our Brady looked like he was enjoying the extra attention. We will certainly use Megan again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Jessica took amazing care of our boy Blue - he got such much pool time and lots of cuddles which made him a happy boy. I appreciated all the feedback and beautiful pictures and the house was left nice and tidy. Thank you Jessica!!”
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs for friends and family members. Most of my experience is with smaller dogs, including cockapoos, yorkies, and golden doodles. I also had two cats for many years. Currently I am working as a substitute teacher, so my schedule is very open. I live in Stuart, so if you live in the area and need a sitter, I’d love to get in touch! I am a recent college graduate and I don’t yet have a full time job, so I would be very happy to take care of your pet. I can do multiple days in a row if needed. I am currently living with my aunt and uncle who have a very sweet cockapoo named Molly. I can definitely bring her over for a playdate if you want! Other than that, just tell me what your fur baby needs and I look forward to meeting them!
About: Hi there! 😊 I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud dog mom of three amazing pups, including my sweet 11-year-old beagle, Rosco, and my two energetic Staffordshire Terriers. For over 11 years, I’ve been the primary caregiver for every part of their lives, from daily walks, feeding, playtime, and enrichment to administering medications, cleaning ears, treating skin irritations, monitoring health changes, and helping them through illnesses, injuries, and vet visits. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities because I believe every pet deserves individualized care. I know every wag, happy dance, and goofy personality is different, and getting to know what makes your pet feel comfortable is one of my favorite parts of the job. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy, a shy sweetheart, or a senior who needs a little extra patience, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone else. I’ll care for your pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, and I’ll always send regular updates and plenty of photos so you can see exactly how your best friend is doing. 🐾💛 Pet care is something I truly enjoy and have built into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, an evening walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to being dependable, punctual, and responsive. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your routines, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I treat my own and make sure everything is secure before I leave. Communication is incredibly important to me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages after every visit. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands from the moment I arrive until the moment I leave.
About: I’ve taken care of big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I have also helped with giving them their medication. I am able to be there all day and night with them and love going for walks. I also like to keep the owner updated everyday on the phone. I currently work remote and I am able to stay all day and night. I make my own schedule and can be free to play with the animals whenever as well as take them for a walk whenever. Everyone that I dog sit or cat sit for likes it when I stay over and I make sure to go a day before to meet the pets and have the owner walk me through what an average day looks like so that I imitate it and keep the same schedule. While I’m there I like to keep the house clean.
“Megan is amazing! She sends us photos and updates every day which helps when you're missing your furbabies. She is very dependable and trustworthy. We have a senior dog who takes daily meds and Megan is exceptional with ensuring she gets her meds on schedule. This is our 2nd time using Megan and we'll definitely be using her in the future.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hailey did an amazing job caring for our home and pets while we were away for four days and three nights. From the start, she was professional, dependable, and easy to communicate with, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. Our pets were clearly well cared for and received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Hailey kept us updated while we were away, and it was reassuring to know everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, our pets were happy and relaxed, and our house was clean, secure, and well maintained. Hailey went above and beyond our expectations and treated both our home and pets as if they were her own. Her rates were very fair, especially considering the outstanding level of care and service she provided. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Hailey!”
About: I have owned 3 cats in my adult life and 3 dogs (German Shepherd and 2 Greyhounds). I love walking dogs and exploring new paths around neighborhoods! I have taken care of elderly cats and dogs, including giving medications. I currently cannot have pets due to my community rules, so I would love the opportunity to love your pets! I am retired and am available most of the time even on short notice. I love dogs and cats but cannot have them where we live unfortunately. I can only care for pets in their own home due to our condo regulations. I will abide by my clients wishes for safety and the environment.
The median cost per night for house sitting in North River Shores is $58
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North River Shores
Where do I even start with Kelsey? She is truly the most amazing pet sitter I have ever encountered. She is caring, loving, responsible, and incredibly detail-oriented. My dogs are my babies, and I take their care very seriously. Kelsey understood that from the very beginning and paid attention to every little detail that mattered to me. My dogs are seniors and require medication, and Kelsey was extremely careful and attentive with everything. She went above and beyond, checking in with me regularly and sending pictures and updates about their day. Most importantly, she genuinely loved and cared for my dogs — and they absolutely loved her back! I was very nervous about hiring someone through Rover because my dogs had never been left overnight without us. Kelsey completely put my mind at ease, and I am so grateful that I found her. She is not only an amazing pet sitter, but also a wonderful human being with a great sense of humor. I trust Kelsey completely and would hire her again in a heartbeat. If you are considering her to care for your babies, don’t think twice — she is the one! And trust me, I’m a mama bear when it comes to my babies. ❤️🐾
Alysia is very kind and caring. She took wonderful care of our senior lab, Bailey. There are many details surrounding Bailey’s care and Alysia handled her feeding, supplements and daily/nightly routines thoughtfully. We hope to have Alysia stay with Bailey again.
Grace was amazing with our furr babies during a long day sit on the 4th at our home with one nervous big senior, who hates fireworks, and one young, little new rescue. She met us the day before our sit and we all instantly clicked. Grateful for her very caring and considerate handling of our 2 on the 4th! Thank you for hanging with B and L !! WE cant wait to have you back :)
Lori is wonderful with our spoiled Bailey. We never have to worry when we leave him with her. She was at our house over New Year’s and experience a very scared Bailey with lots of fireworks. She handle that situation just like we would have done. Bailey is very happy when he is with her. He hates for us to leave, but is very happy when he sees Lori at the door. We highly recommend her and use her when she is free. Thank you, Lori.
Katie was absolutely perfect. She came to do a pre-sit visit with Kelsey (our puppy) so they could get to know each other. She asked all the right questions regarding feeding, walking, etc. All the furniture and silver was here when we returned. Lol Kelsey enjoyed her so much he wanted to leave with her. We'll use her again and again
****Rachel stayed in our home and took care of our elderly Frenchie & Cat. She was always prompt, professional, and proactive; ensuring everything was just right with our pets and home while we were away. Auggie, our Frenchie, is a child to us. The next day we found him sitting outside the guest room looking for Rachel, so we know he bonded with her & that alone says a lot. We highly recommend Rachel 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - North River Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North River Shores on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North River Shores. 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 River Shores 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 River Shores 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 River Shores 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 River Shores. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
