“I can't say enough good things about Kara! She went above and beyond while taking care of my dog, Luna, and my two cats. Not only did she shower them with attention and make sure all their needs were met, but she also took the initiative to clean up very well after herself and the pets, and even gave Luna a bath! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, clean dog. I received multiple pictures and videos every day with clear communication. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will be rebooking, and so far she’s the only one in the area i have thought that about. Loved!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Yasmine is incredibly loving, attentive, respectful, and responsible. Toby (my dog) absolutely adored her because of how caring and affectionate she was with him. She even bought him toys, and they spent so much time together throughout the day. She also constantly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel reassured that Toby was happy and well taken care of at all times. I highly recommend Yasmine with complete confidence to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pets.”
“Marianne is an angel and I did not worry about my girl’s care while we left her and our home in Marianne’s care. We are all blessed to have met Marianne and to have engaged her pet sitting services for our senior girl. Highly recommend in every way!”
“Christina was wonderful! It’s always a worry leaving your dog and home in someone else’s care but Christina made my trip stress free with great communication and lots of photos. Her love of animals and respect for my home was evident from the first meet and greet and I could tell by the questions she asked that she genuinely cares about making sure both your dog and home are well cared for. It’s such a relief to find such a special person - I will definitely use again!”
“Jackie was wonderful (again) with our two dogs while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. We really appreciated the updates and knowing they were in good hands, which made it much easier to relax while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust her with our dogs again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“Catherine watched my fur babes while I was in Europe. She was fantastic! I got lots of pictures and daily updates all of which eased my mind while away. I HIGHLY recommend”
“Its my first time using Rover and Reebah, and it was a great experience. Her communication gets +5 stars. She kept me informed, asked questions when there was doubt, and sent me pictures with updates. I definitely recommend her.”
“Amanda was professional, punctual and reliable! She was caring towards my whinny attached at the hip love bucket. Amanda sent photos and videos and brought my girl to a level of calm. I’d highly recommend her!!”
“Katelyn was great! I had a long list of details for my dog and Katelyn accommodated everything and was able to work with her when she was a little nervous and barking. She was very communicative and sent me a ton of pictures and updates. Would definitely have her watch Rue again and would recommend to anyone that needed a dog sitter!”
“Marissa took wonderful care of our house and three dogs. The house was clean when we returned, communication was great throughout the stay, and it was obvious our dogs were well cared for and loved on while we were away. We came home to happy pups and total peace of mind. I have already booked her again!”
“Michele stayed over with our dog Connie and she was wonderful, confident, communicative, and quick to respond to every message. She truly cared about Connie, and we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend her for house sitting, I would absolutely book her again!”
“Italia took great care of Ernie the last four nights. The boy took to her right away (usually it takes 2 or 3 days for him to warm up to his sitter), and seemed really comfortable hanging out with her. She treated my house and my cat like they were hers, and what more can you ask? Her communications were on-point, and my daily photos/videos were great. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet and Italia is available, both you and your furry kid should jump at the opportunity. We already have Italia booked for two more sits!”
“Amanda was awesome! She was quick to respond and accommodate a last minute overnight. She updated us regularly and followed all instructions. She was able to navigate my older dog’s needs which made us feel at ease while away. We will definitely be using her as our regular sitter!”
About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life and have been taking care of all types of dogs professionally for 10 years. From puppies to seniors. All sizes, breeds and special needs. I’m semi retired and love taking care of other’s pets. Let me take care of your fur baby. I currently work remotely from home in beautiful Lauderdale By The Sea, and have the flexibility to spend time throughout the day with pets either playing or walking. Either in your home or my home. I live in a condo that allows 2 dogs and only a half mile from the beach to allow a nice walk for your pet I have cared for pets in my condo with the ability for many walks per day as well as a fenced in dog park in my community for outside play and a little fun in the sun. I also have sat for dogs and cats in their homes as well if preferred.
“Peggy was awesome. We had a last-minute cancellation for a pet sitter and she came in clutch. Not only did you take care of a dog but she watched our kitty and kept the house tidy. Her daughter was lovely as well. I’m glad we met”
“Jenniffer was amazing with our little Frenchie!!! She arrived early, stayed late, and helped with feeding and medication. Her enthusiasm and communication are exceptional! We can't say enough kind words and appreciation for her.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and honestly, sometimes I prefer them to people! I’ve had dogs ranging from Shih Tzus to Rottweilers (always had a soft spot for big dogs). I’ve also had my cats, Parker and Victor, for the past 12 years. One is extremely needy and the other could not be more independent, but they’re both very loving. I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us because mine are a big part of my life. Because of that, I’m looking to get to know some new furry friends and give them the same kind of attention and care I’d want for my own while their parents are away. P.S: If your pet likes cuddles they’ll love me! I’m currently working my full time job, and I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. However, with enough planning I could make most schedules work. Nobody knows a pet better than the pet parent so I’m very adamant on following any rules and pointers I’m given, the same way I’d expect my pet sitter to listen to my guidance.

Michele is wonderful! We have had her watch our dog a few times now and she always does a wonderful job! She was also really accommodating for us when we had to make a change. She’s done both house sitting and drop ins and she is always on time and follows the instructions perfectly. I would highly recommend Michele.
Italia took great care of Ernie the last four nights. The boy took to her right away (usually it takes 2 or 3 days for him to warm up to his sitter), and seemed really comfortable hanging out with her. She treated my house and my cat like they were hers, and what more can you ask? Her communications were on-point, and my daily photos/videos were great. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet and Italia is available, both you and your furry kid should jump at the opportunity. We already have Italia booked for two more sits!
I can’t say enough great things about him! He stepped in to care for my three babies while my regular full-time sitter was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. He came highly recommended by my regular sitter, and from day one he made the transition completely seamless. He followed all of their routines and instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and most importantly, Leia, Luke, and Vader absolutely loved him. 🐾❤️ I’m admittedly very particular about who I trust with my dogs, especially when I’m traveling, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in his hands. Coming into someone else’s established routine and handling everything so effortlessly says a lot. Reliable, attentive, trustworthy, and clearly an animal lover. I would absolutely have him watch my babies again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. Five stars all around! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Maddie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond, she even took our dog to the vet when she developed a cough and administered meds. Gunner requires a lot of attention and exercise and she got both. We have never come home to a more mellow and happy dog. :) And the house was spotless!
Jennifer was absolutely incredible! I was extremely nervous using Rover for the first time, and being out of town for 5 days, but she eased all of my anxiety. She sent me multiple daily photo updates, communication was fast and easy, and my dog loved her. I was able to truly enjoy my trip with no worries He was clearly taken care of with the utmost of care and she followed my detailed instructions. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!!! Thank you SO much for everything, Jennifer!
Julia was fabulous! She stayed at our home for 3 nights with our 2 dogs. She was very communicative and sent many photos. Our dogs felt comfortable with her immediately. I know they were really sad when she left! I would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone. So happy I found her!
So easy to talk to and it is very clear he genuinely cared about my pups wellbeing and comfort. Great communication, sending pictures. I was worried to leave them in such a new place with our me but James took care of them like it was me doing it. He even came over multiple times to meet them. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to have him back. Thank you james for being so good with them.

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 Oakland Park 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 Oakland Park 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Oakland Park 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
