About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young and always loved giving them attention and care. I have two cats and a dog of my own right now. I love taking my dog on walks and seeing how much she enjoys it! I’m currently completing my Level II fieldwork for school. I’m at my fieldwork placement Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until around 6 PM, so I’m generally available in the evenings on those days. Tuesdays and Thursdays are much more open, giving me more flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. My schedule can occasionally vary, so I’m always happy to communicate and work around your pet’s needs! I’ll make sure to read all instructions carefully and follow everything properly. I respect my clients’ homes and will only be in areas where I’m allowed to be while caring for your pet.

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: If you’re looking for a trusted pet sitter, you’re in the right place. I’ll make sure your furry family member is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can help with drop in visits, house sitting, boarding whatever works best for you. I’ve been around animals my whole life , from energetic puppies to moody cats and even the occasional rescue with quirks (I get it, we all have them). I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet behind, so I show up the way I’d want someone to for mine: reliable, calm, and with lots of love to give. Whether your dog needs long walks, your cat needs space (but still wants to be admired), or your pet just needs someone to hang out and keep their routine steady, I’m here for it. Let me know what your little buddy needs, and I’ll take care of the rest , updates, belly rubs, and all. 🐾 I work a 4-day week, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care, especially on my days off. I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on the day, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention they need. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs whether that’s sticking to a familiar routine, giving them space, or just offering lots of love and attention. I’m always happy to follow detailed instructions, give updates, and communicate so you feel fully at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s well being means everything to me, and I’m committed to earning your trust every step of the way.

Currently not working because I am pregnant and expecting a baby!! I am here to help take care of any and all your fur babies :) I have pets of my own, a leopard gecko, frogs, a hamster and a dog, I love them dearly: I am 100% professional about pet care and will do my research on any animal you provide me, you just let me know what they need specifically and I’ll be sure to provide it, I will care for your pets like I care for my own <3
About: Animals have always been a massive part of my life. I recently shared 18 wonderful years with my own sweet dog, and missing her has made me realize how much love I still have to give. I would look after your pet as if they were my own—providing a calm, patient, and deeply affectionate home away from home. I understand the unique bond we share with our animals and will ensure yours feels completely safe and cherished." While I work full-time Monday through Friday, I’m available to care for pets on weekends and after work, starting around 5:30 PM. I’m dependable, attentive, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of care, attention, and love during the time I’m with them. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs and make sure they feel comfortable and secure while they’re in my care. I also keep pet areas clean and provide regular updates and photos to their owners so they know how their pet is doing.
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.
About: I have watched family pets since i was 14, i volunteered at big dog ranch for a year, I have experience at a doggy day camp working with all breeds! I currently have open availability and offer a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet care needs. I'm happy to work with your routine to provide reliable, consistent care for your pets. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where your pet will be treated like family. I live in a pet-friendly condo with plenty of nearby walking areas for regular exercise and potty breaks. I can easily crate your dog if requested and will always follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. I also work part-time at a doggie daycare, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
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.

“Ida house/dog sat for us while we were away on vacation for a week. During our trip Ida sent updates on Lily and even alerted us that she had been itching (she has allergies). We had allergy medicine for her at the house and since Ida was staying there she was able to start Lily on the meds right away. This was a huge plus! When we got home the plants had been watered, the house was clean and the mail was in a neat pile on the counter. But most importantly Lily was happy and acting like herself. She seemed to love being in her own home while we were away. Ida did a GREAT job and we will definitely use her again!”
“I am so glad that we chose Pierre to care for our babies when we went out of town. He was so thoughtful and took excellent care of them. We will definitely be using him again and for more than one night next time.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ocean Ridge is $60

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!
Maria was absolutely wonderful! She house sat for us for four days and took such great care of our cat, Star. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip, which we really appreciated. It was such a comfort knowing that Star was happy, comfortable, and being so well cared for in his own home. We came home to a very happy Star and our house exactly as we left it. We completely trusted Maria in our home and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely have her watch Star again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy 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
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
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,815 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
- 97% 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.
