“Had Manda over to house-sit and watch my 3 bundles of fur, and I could not be more impressed! She sent pictures and gave me updates daily, she was respectful of my home and easy to work with from the get-go. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care or house sitting. I know I will be using her from now on! Thank you Manda!!”
“Could not have asked for a better dog sitter. It’s obvious she loves dogs and she took such good care of my Burna doodle. The house was spotless. She communicates every day with pictures of the dog. She did everything better than me probably and that’s a hard Follow.”
“Chas was awesome! One of my dog had a health issue while I was away and she was quick to spot it and even went to the store to get him the required medication. She definitely went above and beyond and I highly recommend booking her.”
About: I've loved dogs ever since my mom rescued our first puppy when I was 12 years old. Since then, we have raised, trained, played with, and cuddled up to 4 more dogs. Dogs to me, bring out the loving, positive energy in a home and I'm here for it. Throughout the years, my husband and I have been avid volunteers at local dog shelters and have fostered 3 rescues for a local rescue organization. I have some experience with training puppies and younger dogs and well caring for senior doggos who need that additional love and care. Currently, we do not have a dog in our home but are a very active family. I often care for my elderly neighbor's dogs and we take them on hikes, to the beach, dog parks, and even fun dog friendly restaurants and events. When they go out of town, we gladly puppy-sit and enjoy bathing, feeding, and endless cuddles. I'm excited to meet your amazing four legged family members and create great memories with them while providing a great service for you as well. I have a passion for animals but also know that it is important for your as their family/owner to feel just as comfortable with trusting me to care for your pet. I am currently an Instructional Designer working from home which gives me plenty of free time to care for your pup and provide lots and walks, play, and cuddles. I'm available for early morning and afternoon walkies, full day doggie day care, and house sitting mostly on weekends but can make weekdays work if needed as well. My current job allows for plenty of flexibility and time to provide the best quality service for your and your doggie. I have a large home with plenty of space for indoor play along with a nice lanai to play, relax, and enjoy the breeze. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have plenty or areas for great walks. I like to personalize my services to best fit each dog and family and will strive to make each experience and fun and special one for all. If dog sitting in your home, I ensure that all pets are well taken care of as well maintaining your space clean, sanitized, and inviting for a great welcome back home.
About: I've always adored animals ever since I was little. Growing up I was surrounded by not only cats and dogs but I also had a bird and chinchilla. From a young age, I was taught the correct ways to care for animals; now I have two dogs of my own. I have experience with watching multiple animals at the same time while providing different care for each animal individually based on what they need. I understand firsthand how important it is to feel comfortable and safe when trusting someone with your animals and I promise that I will provide the best care. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I am currently a student and work part-time, I carefully manage my schedule to ensure I can provide dependable, attentive care. I am committed to being upfront about my availability and only accepting bookings that allow me to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. If my schedule aligns with your needs and it’s a good fit for both of us, I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s well-being and tailor my care to their individual needs, personality, and energy level to ensure they are happy and comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved family member. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
“Jessica was great with my puppy Bella. I was apprehensive about leaving Bella because she was not feeling great but knowing that Jessica had Vet tech experience helped me decide that it was going to be fine. Jessica administered her pills and within a day Bella was feeling better. I will definitely use Jessica again and would recommend her highly.”
“Suzanne was a lifesaver and helped us with a last minute request. She was responsive and quick to help. We did house sitting with Suzanne and it was a smooth process and Josie warmed up to her which is fantastic. Thank you and we look forward to working with you again!!”
“David was amazing! He was prompt, took great care of our puppos and boy can they be a handful at times! David sent many pictures and Videos which was great as I am out of town missing our babies. Every Video our dogs were tail wagging playing happily. Thanks again David!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since i was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’ve always been the one to stay behind on vacations to guarantee everyone’s babies are taken care of. And i love doing so. I am available anytime before 1pm on weekdays as of right now. On the weekends anytime after 3pm. I am available all day wednesday and thursdays. When I care for pets in a client's home, I make sure to stick to their usual routine as much as possible. This means feeding them at their regular times, giving them their medications if needed, and keeping up with their walking and playtime schedules. I also focus on providing plenty of affection and attention, so they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Plus, I keep the home tidy, clean up any pet messes, and send updates as you want and need. And also a daily photo collage at the end of the night to the owners for peace of mind.
“Kathleen was the most wonderful pet sitter ever! Not only did my 2 dogs and cat love her but so did we! She stayed at my house for 2 weeks while we were in Spain and cooked for them and even watered our plants and took care of our house. My babies were so well taken care of and loved! ❤️ I definitely will be using her every time! I recommend you do too!”
“Stephanie was an awesome caregiver for my boy, Baxter! She was very engaged and took great care of him as well as place while I was out of town I hope to use her services again and highly recommend her!! 👍”
“Geri was amazing with our two babies! Very punctual and cared for them at all times,we received pictures day and night. We felt very comfortable having Geri house sitting and taking care of our babies.”
About: I’ve taken care of my daughters dogs when they travel and I really like enjoy doing it. We have a good connection I love playing and feeding them. I am an energetic person who is very active in my free time, I love going on walks, exploring new areas and making new furry friends! I am very flexible as I am retired and can arrange my schedule to fit your needs. I make sure they are safe at all times. I monitor them for any behavioral changes, ensure there is nothing harmful in their vicinity, and just overall make sure the pet is relaxed and happy. I would never leave a pet in a distressed state.
“I always know that Asher will be SO well cared for by Mackenzie. It’s such a relief when I am out of town to know that my girl is in good hands! Thanks, again, Mackenzie!!!”
About: I’m extremely conscientious and caring. I value people’s routines because I also value my own routines. I know how important it is to feel your animal is well taken care of and loved while you’re away. To me it would be an honor to provide that reassurance. I have a flexible schedule. I worked as a medical assistant for over 8 years, primarily caring for geriatric patients. That experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following routines and individualized care plans. I bring that same level of compassion and adaptability to every pet because no two animals are the same. My home is always clean. Water bowls are refreshed daily, meals are served according to each pet’s normal schedule and portion sizes, and litter boxes are kept clean. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I appreciate a written list of your pet’s routine and any house rules so I can provide consistent care and make everything run smoothly.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for large breeds, including my own Rottweiler, as well as two cats, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve worked with dogs who have allergies, mobility issues, and sensitive backgrounds, so I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping pets calm, safe, and comfortable. I’m very active and confident handling dogs of all sizes, including strong or high-energy breeds. Daily care is a big part of my routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining consistent schedules. I also have experience preparing specialized meals and following detailed care instructions, including medications when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s routine to keep things stress-free. I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently use a scooter for transportation, so I focus on local bookings and do not offer car transport (such as trips to dog parks that require driving). If preferred, I can have my boyfriend assist for extra support—especially helpful for longer stays or multiple pets—but only with your approval. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks during house sitting, such as keeping things tidy, bringing in mail, or basic upkeep. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a key part of my daily and weekly routine. I walk, feed, groom, and play with my dogs every day, making sure they stay happy and healthy. I also prepare homemade meals tailored to their needs, especially because one has allergies and the other has mobility challenges. With my cats, I give them attention and respect their space. I’m organised and committed to providing consistent, loving care for all pets in my life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s familiar environment. I make sure to provide companionship, feeding, exercise, and any medication as directed. I communicate regularly with the owner to update them on their pet’s wellbeing and any concerns.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and reassurance. I focus on keeping dogs safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routine and needs. I currently work Monday through Friday from 9–5, but I am fully available on weekends. From Saturday to Sunday, I can provide 24-hour care, check-ins, and plenty of attention for your dog I live in an apartment with designated areas for play and a clean space . My home is safe, calm, and cat-friendly. My apartment community also has an animal park, which is great for supervised outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was very young, always had a knack for it, I feel I’m at my happiest caring for an animal. I feed, play/entertain, walk, and can even bathe them. Nothings too tough for me. I used to have to take care of my old dog, it was hard because she had arthritis so she couldn’t even get up at times to go to the bathroom so I would carry her and even spoon feed her other times(she was a lab). She was an amazing pet and I miss her every day. I can also take care of multiple pets at a time, wether it be a cat and a dog or just dogs or just cats. I am currently working part time at a restaurant as a server while also finishing my bachelors at FAU as a graphic designer. I am available to work almost everyday if my schedule doesn’t allow it I will let you know but I tend to work more during the daytime. I used to have to take care of my old dog, it was hard because she had arthritis so she couldn't get up at times to go to the bathroom so I would carry her and even spoon feed her other times(she was a lab). She was an amazing pet and I miss her every day. I am young and energetic so I love to run around with your pups!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Ridge
10/10 We loved having Taylor over while we were out of state. Before we left, she coordinated a meet/greet with our 2 pets, before our (5) day trip. We knew we made the best choice with her care. It was especially heartwarming to receive daily updates with pics/videos while we were away! Our pets are normally not around other people, and very skiddish - but they instantly warmed up to Taylor. We could tell with their behavior in the daily updates how genuinely comfortable they were with Taylor. Taylor genuinely cared about a peace of mind trip for us, and gave the pets a stress free environment while we were away. Book Taylor for your pet care!
Erika was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. She stayed with them at my apartment for several days. My Lhasa Apso is a subborn pain in the butt that isn’t comfortable with being left with strangers. But Erica won him over!! My other baby is a pug mix with diabetes. She lost her site due to the diabetes as well. She gets insulin injections twice per day along with a couple diff eye drops. It’s crucial that she gets her medication’s at exactly 12 hours apart every single day. She can’t be late and she can’t miss a dosage. She made sure to stay on top of it every single day. She sent me pictures and videos several times a day. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my babies than Erika. I have been in Florida for 5 1/2 years and I finally found someone to take care of them when I want to leave to see my kids out of state and not feel stressed or worried about their care 💕🙌 I highly recommend
This was our second time using Karren -- this time we had her stay with our pup in our home for 2 nights. Karren was very caring with our dog during thunderstorms and also was very helpful with making sure our home was secure during it. We appreciate her partnership!
Antonette did an amazing job caring for my 2 cats and 2 dogs. Communication was excellent with quick updates, photos, and always easy to reach. You can tell she genuinely cares and my pets were relaxed and happy when I got back. She’s reliable, attentive, and very trustworthy. I’d absolutely book again!
Shay was a pleasure to meet. Very personable and friendly from the moment I met her. I have two dogs that can be a bit timid, and nervous with new people. She has a nice calming spirit about her and they both took to her quickly. I appreciate all the pictures and detailed updates she sent. She left the house, looking great and emptied the trash and made sure the boys had water. Everything was perfect! I will definitely book with her again whenever she’s available. She was very responsive from when I first contacted her through the whole booking. Thank you the boys loved you!
Kelly is an amazing dog sitter. This is the second time I’ve used her for overnight stays, and she continues to do a fantastic job. She keeps in touch consistently, sends updates, and I genuinely feel that she cares about my dog. I always feel confident leaving him in her care. I’m also very grateful for how helpful and accommodating she has been whenever I’ve needed support. I highly recommend Kelly
Manda is the best!! My kitties always have such a happy and peaceful time with her. One of them is very anxious and he is always calm and happy with her. He even packed himself into her bag last time! lol I highly recommend Manda, she is professional, clean, and dependable. You will always feel at ease when she is caring for your pets.
Lauren was absolutely amazing! She stayed for a long weekend to look after our pup. She took great care of our dog, communicated throughout the stay with photos and videos, and left our house spotless! We definitely will be booking with her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ocean Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,855 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ocean Ridge. 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 Ocean Ridge 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 Ocean Ridge 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 Ocean Ridge 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 Ocean Ridge. On Rover:
- 94% 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.
