About: I have relocated to Boyton Beach Florida! I am a mature, responsible person that worries about my own dog and cats care. I have 1 dog and 2 cats. I am not working so I am available pretty much anytime for help with your fur babies. I also can take care of your cats (or other small animals, no spiders or snakes please) feed, play, clean the litter type of stuff. I can administer medication (I had a basset hound that lived for 15 years that had severe allergies and needed allergy shots weekly). I can also check on your home, bring in mail and such. I am semi-retired after working at a hospital for 39 years. I am available pretty much anytime. Even late nights, early mornings.******* ******** ***** **** At this time I am not able to do stay in my house visits. Dont have enough room for that. xxxx xxx xxx xxx xxx
“Kylee was an excellent and reliable pet sitter for my dog Sandy. From the start she was a pleasure to communicate with and answered questions with ease. She has a calming presence and a few minutes spent during the meet and greet assured me of her knowledge and confidence. She spent two days and on night with our pup and was communicative, kind and attentive to my dog’s needs, following our directions to a tee and gave us updates along the way. Having a dog with medical issues can make finding a reliable person scary but Kylee executed the medication administration with ease. Would highly recommend and use Kylee again.”
“My review is late, but not because we were unhappy with David....quite the opposite!!!! David is the absolute best!!!!!!! He truly loves what he does and the pets respond to him. David took care of our two dogs for about a week. One of our American Eskimos needed extra attention, ...David was excellent with his care. Our other dog just wanted to play and play!!! David loved and played with our little sweethearts.... they took to him immediately at our initial meet and greet! Even our cat who usually hides when someone comes home, comes right away straight to him. We loved getting daily updates and pics from David. I recommend David hands down, we are planning another trip and we already told him to save the date for us...HE IS THE BEST!!! I give him 5 stars times a hundred!!!”
“Emily is a wonderful person and she's got this Unique Glow about her and especially with my queen who's afraid of everything love to dearly and Sapphire probably gave her non-stop kisses so thank you Emily I will definitely be using you soon and you are a wonderful wonderful person and I'm glad I met you”
“Roberta has been absolutely fantastic! You can tell she is a true dog lover from the first moment she met our pups. She has been a perfect fit for helping us during a busy time—always professional and consistently on time. We especially love that she sends regular updates and videos, which gives us such peace of mind. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and highly recommend booking her!”
About: I have worked in grooming salons as a bather for over 5 years on and off as well as a handler at a doggy daycare in Boynton Beach. I have dog sat many times for personal friends, and I personally own an 80lbs+ sweet dog myself. Very comfortable walking and playing with big dogs of varying temperaments. I am happy to provide references for my interactions with doggy day care handling, dog sitting references, and general work references. I am currently in between contract work and have open availability to play with your pup as much as desired! Usually my mornings and afternoons will be the most convenient times I am a very cautious and alert dog walker. My own dog gets excited easily and will lurch for food (or non food) on the ground and I am very skilled at keeping him safe while still having fun on his walk. I am a very loving pet sitter and will give your dog plenty of love at home during visits or playtimes.
“Corey was great with our 8 week old golden retriever! We needed a last minute sitter while my fiancé and I completed wedding planning. She was very responsive planning out the day and during the day she sent so many pictures of them playing. We highly recommend Corey!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve raised and puppy-trained dogs, have experience with exotic animals, and understand that every pet is different. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m free all day Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I only work a short evening shift, and on weekends I work until about 4:30pm. That leaves me with lots of time to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My apartment community has a fenced dog park for safe outdoor play, along with plenty of sidewalks and green spaces for walks. While my apartment is on the smaller side, your pet will have lots of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and one on attention during their stay.
“Nicole O was amazing!!!! We felt so comfortable from the minute we met her. My dogs loved her and she did an incredible job. Great communication, on time, reliable and so friendly. Highly recommend Nicole!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Drea is an absolute gem! From the moment she met our furbabies, it was clear she has a true love and talent for caring for animals. She took the time to really get to know each of them, making sure they felt comfortable and loved. Every day, she played with them and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s not easy leaving our pets behind, but knowing they were in Drea’s amazing hands made it stress-free. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely trust her with our furbabies anytime! Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up my family was a cat family so I worked with cats since middle school always taking care of them as a child. Later in the years I would watch over my neighbors dogs and cats and I have been doing that for a little side in high school when the travel for vacation. So I’m a flight attendant and I fly for about three days a week and the the rest of the week I’m free. I can also make my own schedule so I’m very flexible on days and weekends. For my home it’s a gated community and I’m in house with two roommates and in our community there is a mini dog park. For the Clint house I’m respectful I have done other jobs where I would be in the clients home I used to do swimming lessons in the summer by driving to peoples homes.
“She was punctual, followed our instructions, and had a wonderful attitude throughout the stay. Leo was comfortable with her, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”
“I was fortunate to book Toni again and have her stay at my house to watch my cat Maggie. Just like last time, everything was perfect. Toni is super responsible, gave me updates with pictures throughout the day and left the house impeccable. Most importantly, Maggie likes her too!!! If you are in need for a reliable house sitter who you can trust to take care of your fur babies, Toni is the one!!”

“I truly cannot recommend Eduardo enough! If I could give him more than five stars, I absolutely would. I’ve actually been a dog sitter myself for many dogs over the years, so I know what I look for in someone caring for mine. This was my first time leaving my 14-year-old and 4-year-old dogs with someone who wasn’t a friend or family member, and I was also traveling internationally, so I was definitely a little nervous going into it. The second I met Eduardo, though, I immediately felt at ease. My dogs took to him right away, and from the very beginning it was obvious how attentive and detail-oriented he is. He asked thoughtful, specific questions about each dog—their routines, personalities, quirks, preferences, and what makes them comfortable. He genuinely cared about keeping their normal schedule and making their time with him feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Our dogs are relatively easy, but one does have some anxiety, especially during storms, and Eduardo handled him wonderfully. What impressed me most was how well he seemed to understand both of their individual personalities in such a short amount of time. He didn’t just make sure they were fed, walked, and taken care of—he genuinely spent time with them, engaged with them, and made them feel comfortable and loved. And the updates were AMAZING. They were detailed, thoughtful, funny, and came with the best pictures. With every update, I felt like I was getting a little glimpse into their day rather than just receiving the standard “dogs are good!” message. You could genuinely see how happy and relaxed they were in every photo. He picked up on all of their little nuances and personality traits, and somehow managed to capture them perfectly. Even while I was thousands of miles away, I still felt completely connected to what they were doing and how they were feeling. Funny enough, my husband and I were on two separate trips that weekend, and both of our groups had friends who also had dogs at home with pet sitters. We were each sharing Eduardo’s updates with our respective groups, and EVERYONE was blown away by him—especially compared with the updates they were receiving from their own sitters! By the end of the weekend, Eduardo had basically developed a fan club of people who had never even met him. 😂 He was also incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to everything exactly as we had left it and, most importantly, to two very happy, relaxed dogs who clearly had an amazing weekend themselves. There is such a huge difference between finding someone who will simply take care of your pets and finding someone who makes you feel completely comfortable being away from them. Eduardo is absolutely the latter. The peace of mind he gave us was invaluable, and I never once worried about whether our dogs were safe, happy, or getting enough attention. I would recommend Eduardo 100 times over. He is attentive, trustworthy, communicative, responsible, kind, and clearly genuinely loves the animals he cares for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him and will absolutely be booking him again. Anyone who gets Eduardo as their sitter—and any pet who gets to spend time with him—is incredibly lucky!”
“I am absolutely thrilled with the outstanding dog sitting service provided by Alix for our three Pomeranians! From the moment we left until our return, Alix demonstrated a level of care, responsibility, and genuine affection that surpassed all expectations. Alix not only ensured our dogs were well-fed and exercised but also took the time to send regular updates and adorable pictures, which kept us at ease throughout our time away. The attention to detail, including securing the dogs in their original cages, speaks volumes about Alix's commitment to their safety and well-being. We returned to happy and healthy pups, a testament to the exceptional care they received. Alix's professionalism, communication, and obvious love for animals make her an absolute gem. We are immensely grateful for her dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Alix, for going above and beyond – you are truly the best.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and animal enthusiast, caring for our furry companions has been a passion of mine since childhood. I have dedicated countless hours to understanding the unique needs and behaviors of dogs, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. My goal is to help every pet live their happiest and healthiest life, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where they can thrive. What Sets Me Apart Unwavering Commitment: Caring for pets is not just a job for me; it's a calling. I approach each pet with the same level of dedication and love as if they were my own.

Extensive Experience: With a lifetime of experience working with dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of their behaviors, body language, and individual quirks. This knowledge allows me to provide personalized care tailored to each pet's unique personality and requirements. Puppy Training Expertise: While not a professional trainer, I have extensive experience in training puppies. I understand the importance of early socialization, positive reinforcement, and consistent guidance. I can help your furry friend develop good habits and manners from an early age, setting them up for success in their adult life. Reactive Dog Management: I have worked with reactive dogs and understand the challenges they face. With patience, empathy, and techniques, I can help manage their reactions and create a calm, stress-free environment for them. Attention to Detail: I pride myself on being attentive to the smallest details when caring for pets. From monitoring their eating habits and exercise routines to recognizing subtle changes in their behavior, I leave no stone unturned to ensure their well-being.

Incorporating pet care into my daily routine can be seamless and rewarding since i have the flexibility of studying from home. My schedule is very open and flexible When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, the approach varies depending on the service offered.. Pet Boarding in my home * Provide a safe, secure environment with a fenced yard for playtime and exercise. * Utilize crates if needed for the visiting pet's comfort and safety. * Ensure my resident pets are friendly and properly introduce them to the boarding pet. * Offer plenty of attention, playtime, and socialization for all pets. Dog Walking Services Prioritize the safety and well-being of the client's dog during walks. Maintain control with a secure leash and harness. Plan engaging routes with opportunities for sniffing, exploration, and potty breaks. Provide water and rest stops as needed, especially in warm weather. Capture photos or videos to share with the owner, offering peace of mind. In-Home Pet Sitting Follow the client's instructions for feeding, medication administration, and any special needs. Provide ample playtime, exercise, and affection to keep the pet stimulated and content. Maintain a clean environment by scooping litter boxes and picking up after the pet. Secure the home by locking doors and windows before leaving. Communicate regularly with the owner about the pet's well-being and any concerns. Regardless of the service, my dedication to providing a safe, fun environment and following best practices will ensure exceptional care for every pet entrusted to me.
“Stacy is absolutely fantastic from the moment we met her. She kept us up to date on the pups during her stay and left us a note for when we returned. The dogs adored her and so do we. If I could give her more stars, I would!”
“Kaylee took extra special time to get to know my special needs pets and accommodate those needs. One of my dogs is fearful and by the end of my trip he was sleeping next to her. She really knows dogs and is very respectful of our home. Thanks Kaylee!”
“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!”

Maria was absolutely wonderful! She house sat for us and took care of our cat, Star, for ten days while we were traveling, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring, and she kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages. It was such a comfort seeing how relaxed, happy, and comfortable Star was with her. Maria took excellent care of both Star and our home, and everything was perfect when we returned. Knowing Star was in such loving and capable hands allowed us to truly enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely trust Maria to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Maria!

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
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!
Roberta has been absolutely fantastic! You can tell she is a true dog lover from the first moment she met our pups. She has been a perfect fit for helping us during a busy time—always professional and consistently on time. We especially love that she sends regular updates and videos, which gives us such peace of mind. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and highly recommend booking her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,808 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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
