“Aaliyah was absolutely fabulous with my 3 month old puppy. She stayed the entire time during my house sit and sent lots of update pictures to ease my nerves of leaving him for the first time. I strongly recommend Aaliyah and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We were extremely happy with the care Megan provided. This was our first time using Rover with house/pet sitter and so happy we did. We came home from our 5 day trip to a very happy Brady! Megan sent us pictures and messages daily and our Brady looked like he was enjoying the extra attention. We will certainly use Megan again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Lisa was great. She stayed at our house and took care of our pets and our home. She communicated with us before and during the stay. She came over to meet the dogs and learn about staying at the house. She sent pictures of the dogs during her stay. When we returned home the dogs were healthy and happy AND our house was tidy and clean. Would definitely recommend Lisa. She loves dogs!”
“Always happy having Iloria take care of our floor kids while we’re gone. So thankful to have her available to help. Multiple repeat time customer since we moved to PSL! Highly recommended!”
“Ana was very good with my dog. He was 5lbs over her comfortable weight limit but that didn’t deter her from taking my dog out to walks. She spent time with him at home and played with him. Fed him as instructed. Overall would book Ana again for overnight stay with my dog.”
“We would highly recommend Rebecca! She took care of our two Bearded collies and sent us updates and photos of their activities making us feel reassured. She took care of our home, putting out the recycling and bringing in the mail and watering the plants. She clearly loves her job and loves dogs. She was professional, punctual and communicated clearly. We would definitely rehire her! What a relief.”
“David was absolutely wonderful with my dogs!! He frequently sent me pictures and texts just to keep me up to date on how they were which I appreciated more than he knew!! David is kind, calm trustworthy and responsible!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, fish, turtles (you name it!) for over 10 years. Starting with neighbors and family pets and continuing through friends and referrals. I’m very attentive, responsible, and calm, which helps dogs, and all animals, feel safe and comfortable around me. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I always follow care instructions closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, medications, long walks, or extra cuddle time. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel fully at ease while they’re away. I work from home full-time as a software engineer, so I’m home throughout the day and able to provide consistent supervision and attention. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods. My flexible schedule allows for regular walks, playtime, feeding routines, and plenty of companionship. I’m available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate most schedules with advance notice. I provide pet care exclusively in the client's home, including overnight stays. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and companionship, all while keeping their space clean and secure. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and settled in their own environment — sticking to their normal routine, favorite spots, and feeding schedule so there's minimal disruption to their day. Since I work from home, I'm able to offer flexible visit times and overnight care as needed, giving pets consistent attention and a calm routine around the clock
“Amber watched our fur babies for 5 days while we were out of the country. Amber sent us pics and texts with updates on our pups and kept us well at ease! Ace and Angel were taken well care of and as happy as could be. Thank you Amber!”
“Chudleigh and I adore Gemar. He shows up on time even 10 minutes before his time scheduled. He is very reliable. He stayed at my house for an overnight. I feel very comfortable with Gemar and I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Lorianne is awesome. She will care for your pets like they're her own. She is caring, reliable and responsible. Lorianne is truly Amazing and the best dog sitter and Scooby agrees 🐾❤️🐾.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hailey did an amazing job caring for our home and pets while we were away for four days and three nights. From the start, she was professional, dependable, and easy to communicate with, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. Our pets were clearly well cared for and received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Hailey kept us updated while we were away, and it was reassuring to know everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, our pets were happy and relaxed, and our house was clean, secure, and well maintained. Hailey went above and beyond our expectations and treated both our home and pets as if they were her own. Her rates were very fair, especially considering the outstanding level of care and service she provided. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Hailey!”
About: I've owned and been training dogs since I was little. I have had 2 dogs on my own and pets throughout my life. My first job was a self-created pet sitting business when I was in 5th grade. I offered services to local families in my neighborhood. I have watched over reptiles, canines, felines, and multiple breeds of dogs including aggressive breeds. I am a compassionate person and pride myself on taking care of all pets as if they were my own while operating by the golden rule. You can feel safe when you leave your animals with me. I take my own dog out for potty breaks roughly every two to three hours and take her along with me on walks and runs in the community. I plan to pet sit as a Side gig while i am looking for jobs in finance, marketing automation, email marketing and interviewing remotely in Port Saint Lucie Florida I have taken care of all types of dogs, big small and in between. I grew up with pets and have one of my own named Roxy. She is 13 and has some dietary and medical routines that I have to stick to to keep her healthy and happy
“We are so thankful for everything that Melinda did. We didn’t have to worry about Nunzio or Harley and Baby Kitty. Melinda sent numerous messages and pictures of them and they looked so happy and calm. She cleaned up the kitchen and vacuumed the floor and even washed and dried Nunzies swimming towels. We couldn’t praise her enough.”
About: ❤️ ❤️ Excellent animal care experience since i was in my early teenage years, very reliable, caring, friendly trustworthy and loving with animals, now also running business with my mini❤️ ❤️ Excellent care will be provided for your pet or drop in visit depending on service chosen. I have my own transportation so I can also take them to the park if requested 🙂 I do have a fence and plenty of space to play so your pet and I can be comfortable while getting to know each other.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I grew up fostering dogs and living in a home full of pets of all types, so reading animal behavior and meeting individual needs comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs of my own—one senior dog who’s in excellent shape and another with diabetes—so I’m extremely comfortable with special care routines, medications, feeding schedules, and detailed instructions. I’m very attentive, organized, and consistent when it comes to pet care. I understand how important routine, patience, and calm energy are—especially for senior pets, anxious pets, or those with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for at all times. Whether your pet needs structured exercise to burn off energy, gentle walks, playtime, or extra cuddles and reassurance, I tailor care to what helps them feel happiest and most comfortable. You can trust that your pet will receive the same level of care, attention, and love that I expect for my own I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to provide a very hands-on level of care throughout the day. Pets are never left alone for long periods and I’m able to accommodate regular walks, playtime, feedings, medications, and individualized routines. Starting toward the end of March, I expect to return to the office a few days per week. Even then, pet care will remain a priority, with mornings, evenings, and consistent routines fully maintained. I’m careful to only accept bookings that fit my schedule so every pet receives the attention, supervision, and care they deserve. I have a fully fenced yard and a calm, structured home environment. I also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, and all interactions are always supervised. I’m experienced with introducing pets slowly and can easily keep dogs and cats separated or crate them if needed to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m very attentive to routines, boundaries, and individual needs—especially for senior pets, pets with medical needs, or those who prefer a quieter setting. I’m happy to follow any specific care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication routines, crate use, or solo time. I’m flexible and can care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on what works best for your pet and your comfort level.
“Olyssia was the perfect person to watch our babies! They have never been left with someone they were unfamiliar with before, but from the moment she met them during meet and greet, we knew she’d be perfect! She was so attentive to them and their needs, and was so fantastic with communication with us! She sent so many pictures that definitely eased our minds while we were gone. Our animals loved her so much and warmed right up to her! We will definitely rebook with her in the future. ☺️”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, but currently, am a mom to 3 of them, so I know a thing or two… from >5 lbs to 100… I got you! I’ve been dog sitting for others for almost 5 years now, and actually just spent the last few months volunteering at a local Vet’s office… so I know doggy CPR now if needed! It’s officially SUMMER (yay) which means i’m free literally whenever! Call/message me and I can be there ASAP! ❤️ Monday, Tuesday, whenever, I got you! 🐾 I don’t offer services in my home, since my dogs are veeeery jealous when another is around to steal all the back scratches and belly rubs, but I can guarantee that they don’t mind when i get out of the house for a few hours 🤣 In your home, I promise to provide a nurturing environment, with the same structure and routine you’d force if you were there. Whether it’s overnight or two weeks, I’ll love on your animals like they’re my own!
About: I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Studies and full-time experience in providing animal husbandry care for both exotic and domestic animals. Additionally, I have college-level and experience-gained knowledge of dog behavior and animal care. I am currently a wildlife keeper for a sanctuary and was previously a Rover and Canine Coach at a dog daycare. I have experience handling, walking, and bathing dogs of all sizes.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Saint Lucie
Megan did an amazing job taking care of our 3 dogs while we were away for a long weekend. She kept in contact throughout the time, sending pictures and letting us know how they were doing. She watched them in my home and everything went well. Dogs were happy to stay in their own home. I would definitely recommend her.
Ashley was absolutely wonderful during my 8-night house-sitting stay! She stayed in my home and took amazing care of my two Great Danes and my cat while I was away. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. She sent regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciated, and it was obvious from every message that she genuinely cared for my pets. They received so much love, attention, and excellent care, and I came home to three happy, relaxed animals and a well-cared-for house. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will absolutely book Ashley again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable house sitter!
Enzo had the pleasure of David caring for him for a week. They went for long walks, watched the fireworks and lots of love and cuddles. David is amazing and such a great find for us. He is very kind and responsible. We never have to worry about Enzo while we are away.
Kimberly was amazing, and I highly recommend her! She was responsible, friendly, and provided excellent communication throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, my pets were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned home. I would absolutely book with Kimberly again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter.
My 3 dogs were taken care of for 2 weeks at my home and they were all fine and no issues with escaping. One of them realized she could jump my fence right before I left but there was no escaping when I was gone because she kept the doors locked. My dog checks! She handled them and I had peace of mind.
Adriana was great with Bailey. He liked her from the beginning. When she came over to meet us, she spent a lot of her time interacting with Bailey. Then, when we were talking, Bailey went over and lay down with his head on Adriana's feet. So we felt very comfortable leaving him with her as a first time sitter. She kept in touch with texts and let us know every day how Bailey was doing. She left the house in better shape than when we left. We will definitely use her again.
Juliana was AMAZING!!! She was so organized and thorough when it came to telling me her schedule. I felt so confident that my dogs were in great care with her. In addition, she was so respectful of my home while watching our pups and went above and beyond. I will definitely be booking her again and again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Port Saint Lucie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Port Saint Lucie on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 645 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Port Saint Lucie. 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 Port Saint Lucie 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 Port Saint Lucie 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 Port Saint Lucie 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
