“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.”
“David has been Leo’s regular dog sitter and walker, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better. He recently stayed with Leo while I was away at an all-day TRX workshop, and I had complete peace of mind knowing Leo was in such capable, caring hands. David is reliable, communicative, and genuinely attentive to Leo’s needs. He understands Leo’s personality, routines, and cues, and it really shows in how calm and comfortable Leo is with him. I always appreciate the updates and knowing Leo is not just being cared for, but truly looked after. I’m so grateful to have found David and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and experienced sitter or walker. Leo and I are lucky to have him!”
“We were so happy to have Amber stay at our home and watch our dog while we were away. She walked her every morning and sent us updates throughout our trip. It was so nice not having to worry about a thing while we were on vacation!”
“Daryan was absolutely wonderful. One of my dogs developed serious anxiety after some health issues & cognitive decline earlier this year. Daryan treated both my dogs with empathy & compassion. She was attentive, loving, & affectionate. She took extra care to work with my older dog, helping to redirect her attention & soothe her anxiety, while still ensuring our other dog was getting the attention she wanted. We’re very thankful for the opportunity to work with her & hopeful to become a regular client. PS my dogs also give 2 paws up, they agree!”
About: I’m the past two years I have dog sat and dog walked for a few different families. Let me know if you would like any additional information and I will be happy to provide it for you! I am currently taking a little girl to school a few days a week and am available after that around 8:30am, I am available on weekdays and do have some weekends that are completely free and have nothing going on When caring for pets in their home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions and routine, provide fresh food and water, give plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get the exercise and bathroom breaks they need. I also keep their space clean and secure while they are away.
“This was Rebecca's second time taking care of my pup while I was out of town. I've tried a few sitters for Lulu over the years and Rebecca is by far the best!! Lulu LOVES Rebecca and I can truly feel at ease while I'm traveling knowing that she's at my home taking care of Lulu! She's a great photographer and communicator, plus my house was neat and clean when I returned!”
“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!”
“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.”
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!
“Lori is a trustworthy and highly reliable dog sitter. I would definitely recommend her. She’s so good with dogs, both big and small! She loves & cares for the dogs as if they’re her own. We look forward to booking her again.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 have had many dogs since I was born and have owned many animals including hamsters and snakes. I have treated minor illnesses in dogs before and know multiple emergency vet offices nearby. I am comfortable giving medicines and keeping strict routines and diets. I excel in reading animal body language and understanding and avoiding triggers. I attend College classes multiple days a week, I also have a part-time job that I work when I do not have class. I usually wake up around 7:30 and have a relaxing morning to myself and spend my free time at home doing school work and hanging out with my dog and cat. I have a 3/4 acre lot with a six foot chain link fence. I own a Shar-pei American Bulldog mix and a Domestic Shorthair cat, both do well with other animals and can be contained if the need arises. Animals get fed twice a day, 1/2 a cup each morning and evening for the puppy and 1/4 cup each morning and evening for the kitty. The animals are let out freely as we have a screened in pool with a dog door. Toys are preferred but if your baby likes the dog park I know of many and am willing to go with them. Animals are not allowed on the furniture but can get plenty of snuggles on the floor!
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
“Olyssia was the best dog sitter we have ever had! She was very responsive, took great care of our dogs, and left our house clean and tidy. She sent pictures of the dogs throughout her stay with them. She went above and beyond to care for, exercise and entertain them.”
“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.”
“Malia took great care of my Very Needy Snoopy dog for an overnite stay so I could go to a concert in Ft Lauderdale. She sent me a photos and Malia’s trio of dogs welcomed Snoopy and made him feel comfortable and at ease. Highly endorse Malia’s sitting skills and I will use her again.”
About: My 14 y.o. Japanese Chin/Pekinese is in heaven now I and cared for him since he was a puppy. I trained him using the methods of "The Dog Whisperer". I also learned how to do dog massage from Linda Tellington, author of TTouch Training. I've also cared for chickens, pigs and rabbits. I prefer small dogs, as they are easier to care for in many ways, and I enjoy having them sit on my lap and sleep with me. I am very sensitive to the needs of animals and am able to understand the body language of them. I will care and love your pet like it's my own. Try me! I'm retired and can care for your pet anytime at your house. I don't do boarding as I have a roommate that has a pet and would involve her approval. I spend time playing, walking and chilling with your pet. I like to give treats and have them sleep with me if you permit it.
“Tommy & Gabo were wonderful! They communicated with us every day and sent cute photos. Our dogs were happy, calm, and well-cared for when we came home. We will definitely use them again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Saint Lucie
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!
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!

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.
<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 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 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.
