About: Hi my name is Karyn I’m a pet lover since birth and I’ve been professionally caring for pets for the past 6 years. Looking back on my childhood I don’t remember a time where I haven’t had a animal. We’ve had turtles, dogs, cats, fish, ducks, chickens, and hamsters. I have a History of working with pets of all ages & providing a variety of medical care to special needs pets. Pet care doesn’t feel like a job it’s definitely a calling. Due to my flexible work schedule I have a large availability to care for all of your pets needs and set aside time to play with your furr baby. Unfortunately I do not offer in home boarding at this time. That may change soon but as of now I only offer pet sitting and in home visits.
“Stephanie did a wonderful job watching our girls for a long weekend. Both of my dogs were very relaxed and warmed up to Stephanie immediately so I knew she’d be a great match for them. She is a strong communicator and sent several detailed updates with photos every day. She also took good care of our home. Thanks Stephanie!”
About: I been close to pets my whole life. When I was little I had cats and dogs as pets and for me they were my best friends. I been taking care of a Cooker spaniel, Husky, Chihuahuas, French bulldogs, Yorkies, Malteses, and more.. I love to visit my friends and spend more time playing with their pets than talking with them. I owned a Frenchie. he is very healthy and friendly, I cook for him every day, I follow a schedule for walks every 4 hours during the day and I bring him to the park around 6pm so he play and burns some energy before going to sleep I currently work as an Rbt, I do have to leave the house for 3 hours from 3-6. then I’m home the rest of the time. I live on a building on Omni station 22 floor I have two rooms and big enough living room. I have no problem with pets on the couch. I make sure the apartment is always clean, organized and safe for the pets.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life! Cane corsos, pit bulls and currently have a golden retriever. I am not afraid to get dirty and loving with your furball!❤️ I work part time, which leaves me a lot of time to take care of animals especially my own golden retriever. It’s something I already do! I have a beautiful and polite golden retriever who loves to play but is also very gentle, I also will constantly supervise and make sure they have all they need.
About: I have actually received many positive reviews for the sitting I have done up to this point, 4 years professionally and a lifetime of experience too! I have mostly had furred and some feathered pets, and have watched them for people I know in their homes too. I've done lots of official sits the past few years, and have been invited back for repeat sits several times. I'm conscientious and organized etc. by nature, and also have a calm presence that most pets quickly warm up to. I've taken care of indoor, outdoor and indoor/outdoor pets before, and am good with doors and keeping them where they need to be. I've also been recommended for other sits, and have had many others reach out to me for sits. I've also done a few sits without even having to meet the owners, like if they needed to take off or needed me to fill in as a replacement, so that's always an option if it ever comes down to it. I've even obliged when the first pick ahead of me falls through, which is no bother for me and probably ends up for the best anyway! My first 15 reviews shown here are just some of the many actual sitting-related reviews I've received over the past few years. I am flexible in general and can accommodate most any pet care requirements and scenarios. And feeding as well as play times and so forth. I am very good with doors and keeping pets contained and where they need to be. I am also attentive and enjoy giving pets attention.
“From the first meet up with Clare she has been nothing but professional, friendly, responsible and an all around great dog sitter! She follows every instruction we give her and she shows our dog so much love and care. She also leaves our apartment clean and the same as we left it whenever she comes over to sit. Her responses are always quick, we know we can rely on her whenever we have to leave. We would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!!”
“Michelle is an amazing pet and home sitter! She went above and beyond to make our dog Lacy happy and content. She kept a photo album and sent daily updates of their walks together and sweet photos of Lacy sleeping, playing and eating. Michelle also prepared Lacy’s homemade meals and lovingly played the same music, as when I’m home. It made being away much more enjoyable knowing Lacy was in such good hands. Thank you Michelle!”
About: I provide dependable, loving care for dogs, cats, and other pets, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, medication reminders, and maintaining their normal routines with care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m able to schedule in-home visits around my work schedule and prioritize reliable, consistent care with regular communication and updates. My preference is providing in-home visits at the pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I can accommodate care in my home for special circumstances when needed.
“Jenny was incredibly friendly and professional. When we met up to go over details and introduce the dog I could tell how much she loved dogs and would take good care of ours. When we got home our dog was happy, healthy, and excited to see us. It was obvious she took great care of our pet and our house. Everything was as we left it, and was cleaned before we got home. I would highly recommend Jenny to take care of your pet! 5 star service and care. :)”
“Summer was so awesome!! She is very responsive and took amazing care of our babies!!! She sends lots of pics! We were so amazed at how much she loved our babies! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Best Pet Sitter EVER!!!! This was our first time we had Ely watch our fur babies and I can assure you that it will not be our last. Ely was so amazing with our 2 dogs and cat. He sent photos and updates throughout his stay and really went over and beyond to ensure our pets were happy and safe. Ely truly has a way with pets and his passion for what he does really shines through with his caring and friendly demeanor. We definitely recommend Ely if you are in need of a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. He will treat your fur babies like they were his own.”
About: PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT BOARD PETS. I ONLY HOUSE SIT (YOUR HOME) Now that I'm done traveling, I am back in Palm Beach ready to take care of your pet family :) While traveling, I was very active on TrustedHouseSitters (20+ sits) while watching dogs, cats, birds, pigs, chickens, and more! This was a great experience but I do prefer Rover when local. Also good to mention, I have been an international couchsurfer and host since 2016. I respect people's homes and love being helpful to travelers. I am a film editor freelancer. I spend most of my days at the computer. However, I am super active, try to walk after every meal and go for a bike ride every day. Very open to your dog’s needs, whether it be inside only, backyard only, crate trained, etc. love being around all dogs and am happy to keep them in their groove.
About: Get to know me: My name is Yuliet, I have loved animals my entire life. I am a volunteer and foster at the miami dade animal shelter. I go every weekend to the shelter to volunteer and help in whatever way i can. I foster pets who are urgent and need to be saved. I live in a house with a fully high fenced yard. To me animals are a priority, as they say, there is no better best friend than a dog. When your dog stays with me: Well, your dog will be sleeping anywhere in the house. If you would prefer him to sleep in a crate, please provide me with one. I will be walking your pet three times a day; morning, afternoon, and night. If you give me permission to take him/her to the dog park, i will be more than glad to do so. I am home all day long, so your pet will never be home unsupervised. I will also make sure to follow his or her feeding instructions and if you have a walking schedule i will also make sure to follow it. I will also be providing you with pictures and messages every day multiple times to update you on your pet. My services: I provide all services: Dog boarding Drop in visits Doggy day care Dog walking What type of animals will I accept? I do understand that dogs are not the only pets one may own. That’s why I am willing to accept any other pet as well. If you own any other type of pet, please feel free to contact me for any questions. Your pet will always be our guest! I am available for boarding any day! I have a very flexible schedule, for any questions please message me and i will reply as soon as i can! I live in a house with a fenced yard. All pets will be sleeping inside at all times, and will be outside only to play and for potty breaks as well. They are allowed on furniture too I work full time as a Veterinary Technician in an animal shelter, but while im at work there's always someone at home! I also keep doggy cameras to keep an eye on the pups while im away Your pet will free roam around the house at all times as long as they are house trained. I do have dogs of my own so i am unable to accommodate dogs that do not get along with other dogs or with people, as i do live with others in my household.
“Leah was so great with our dogs. She was incredibly communicative and we trusted her completely with our dogs. One of our dogs needs medication every 12 hours and Leah always messaged letting us know it had been done so we didn’t have to worry. Will definitely be requesting Leah for our next trip!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Okeelanta
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 445 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Okeelanta. 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 Okeelanta 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 Okeelanta 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 Okeelanta 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.
