“Abigail was amazing. So sweet and communicative. My house was in pristine condition upon arriving home. Thank you Abigail! Bambi and Chucky can’t wait to see you again”

“Excellent work ethics and attitude. Very attentive to the pets and details. I would gladly hire Sofia again to dog / house sit. Sofia goes over and aboard what’s required snd communicated well with us.. she was able to handle our 3 dogs and cat very well and they love her— i can tell. I highly recommend her.”


“This was a repeat visit with Rachel. We didn't worry about the safety of our girls while we were gone for the holidays. Our fur kids were even sad to see her go home. We have already rebooked for Christmas, and will continue to use Rachel in the future.”

About: I have 15+ years of experience with dogs of every shape and size. Between caring for my own dogs, my family’s, and friend’s, I’ve come to be very familiar with their routines, needs, and behavior. My experience with applied behavior analysis lends tremendously to successful training techniques. I take pride in maintaining clean environments, administering meds, and being undeterred by big dogs. My experience as a nanny gives me a unique understanding of working in your most private space. Special instructions are always followed with care and love. I am currently starting my new job as a water safety instructor! My availability may change while I am in training, but I am still open for drop-ins and walks. Unfortunately, due to the needs of my own rescue cat, I am not available to provide overnight boarding services in my residence at this time.
About: For over the past 3 years I’ve been pet sitting for family,coworkers,etc. I’ve worked with multiple kinds of dogs and can handle very different situations!! I have 3 fur babies of my own!! I have two kitty’s and one puppy. My cats are about 2 years old and my Dog is 6 months old. So everyday is a new challenge for me but nothing to difficult that I can overcome! My puppy stays in a crate for the night time portion so I know a lot of crate training. Also with cats using a litter box!
About: My wife and I are huge pet lovers. She's been doing pet foster care since she was young and I've had the privelage of owning a few animals myself. I absolutely love being around animals of all kinds and loving on them as I would my own. We also have experience with medication administration. We're flexible and adaptable and here for your fur babies! If your fur babies like to be around other animals we have a very loving dog who loves all animals and loves to play. I look forward to speaking with you and getting to know your pets! Ally is a stay at home mom, though she does have a job that takes her away periodically she's at home the majority of the time so there is almost always someone available to give the animals the love and attention they deserve. We have a fenced yard with some space to run and stretch or get some fresh air. Sometimes we take multiple dogs at a time but not normally. If separation is required a crate is preferred but we do have extra rooms and baby gates to give the dogs their own space is we need to leave the house or for sleeping hours.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a professional groomer for the past 5 years. I am a mom to a tripod Shiba Inu mix and a deaf Shih Tzu mix! I work for a school district 7-4 Monday-Friday. This has freed up my schedule on weekday evenings and weekends are typically free with a bit of notice! I have a soft spot for seniors, I am especially gentle with the sugar faced pets. I understand each pet is a unique situation and will have flexibility to meet their needs!
About: I split my time between Denver and Fort Worth, so I offer different services in each location. Here's a little bit about my history. I've set the lowest price as I just love being around dogs. My dad was a veterinarian, so I’ve been around animals my whole life. I lost my pup a few years ago and haven’t got a new one, but would love to have some visitors (Fort Worth only) . My yard is fenced, but backs up to a lake, so pets must be trained to not run off. I'm home most of the time on the days I've marked as available, but occasionally I will go out to golf, dinner, etc., so we can discuss if our schedules align. I work remotely usually 4 days a week, so your pet will receive lots of attention, potty breaks, play time and feedings upon desired schedule. I'm home most of the time on the days I've marked as available, but occasionally I will go out to golf, dinner, etc., so we can discuss if our schedules align. I’ll treat your dog as if it were my own. If they chase a tennis ball I’m happy to challenge them to see who tires first!
About: I've taken care of my family dogs on my own, as well as dog sitting my friends dogs. I know how important it is for dogs to get out and go on walks and also be watched so they don't eat anything funny. I have a full time job but can come home at lunch to hangout and let them out! They would be alone for about 4 hours at a time. I have a fenced in yard and will spend lots of time hanging out with your dog. If I am boarding your dog I will do my best makev your dog feel safe and at home.
“Javel took great care of our Nina and updated us with video and pictures of her while we were away! This was the first time we used a dog sitting service and we're so glad that we found Javel! Highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again in the future! 😁”

About: Growing up surrounded by animals means caring for pets isn't just a service I offer—it's second nature. As a lifelong pet owner, I’ve spent years sharing my home with dogs, cats, and small animals, learning firsthand the unique quirks, routines, and personalities that make each animal special. That lifelong experience naturally led me into pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve handled everything from high-energy puppies who need endless game-time to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and strict medication schedules. Im currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding in your home weekends and holidays and weekdays after 12pm. Caring for my own 2 Labador Retrievers daily gives me deep, practical experience in keeping high-energy, affectionate dogs happy, healthy, and structured. I bring that exact same standard of care directly into your home when watching your pets. Here is how I care for my Labs and bring that expertise to your home: Structure & Exercise: My Retrievers thrive on consistent daily walks, active fetch sessions, and mental stimulation like puzzle toys. I adapt this energy outlet to your dog’s specific age, breed, and fitness level. Mealtime & Health Routines: With my own dogs, strict feeding schedules, weight monitoring, and coat care are second nature. I follow your home’s exact feeding, dietary, and medication instructions down to the letter. Positive Energy & Safety: Labs are famously friendly but require strong leash skills and reliable impulse control. I use gentle, structured reinforcement to ensure safe walks and calm house manners. In-Home Comfort & Peace of Mind: Caring for dogs in their home environment minimizes stress. I keep your pets content in their familiar routines while keeping your home secure, clean, and well-maintained. Whether it is keeping up with a high-energy Retriever or giving gentle attention to a quiet senior dog, I treat every client's home and pet with the same love, vigilance, and dedication I give my own.
“Melissa was so helpful and reliable when I asked her to help watch my dog Blue 🐶. She was very friendly and super sweet towards my dog, I knew he would be in good hands when I was out of town. She sent me lots of pics and regular updates. I will definitely be reaching out to her again! 😊”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Keri provided for my cat and home. She’s incredibly responsive, caring, communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. I always felt completely at ease knowing my house and cat were in such good hands, and I never had to worry once. Her updates and attention to detail made the whole experience seamless and reassuring. Highly recommend!”

“Bryce was amazing. Our dogs loved him. He took good care of our place and our fur babies and we will be booking him again. We recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! He left us a cute Polaroid of our furbabies and we thought it was very endearing and thoughtful. 😍”

About: I love taking care of pets, whether it would be horses, chickens, dogs, or cats. I enjoy taking care of them and treat them like they are my own! I’m a pretty flexible person and will do what is required of me to take care of your pet from going on walks and anything else needed! I have a fenced yard at my house; however I am unable at the moment to host pets at my house. I will come to your house to take care of your fur baby

“Geneva is an absolute all star! Our first time to work with her was when we left for an 11 day trip to Europe and she house sorted and babysat our fur babies. She took wonderful care of them and kept us updated the whole time. We will def be seeing a lot more of Geneva I’m sure of it! Very highly recommended.”

I want every dog in my care to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for, just like family! I work part-time, so I do my best to plan my schedule around the pets in my care.

My availability may vary depending on my work schedule, but I'll always communicate clearly and do my best to accommodate your needs! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my priorities.

The average cost of House Sitting in Pelican Bay is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $67 per night.

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 Pelican Bay 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 Pelican Bay 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 Pelican Bay 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.
