“David did a wonderful job taking care of Leo this weekend. He was very communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and made sure Leo had plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I really appreciated how he checked in and was flexible with timing while we were out. Leo looked happy and relaxed the whole time. Thank you, David!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Ariana took amazing care of our babies while we were away! We are so thankful for her time and updates! Ariana is a responsible and friendly sitter and our pups are always excited to see her!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet I meet. As a dog mom to a long-haired German Shepherd, I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, love, and personalized care. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and ages, including pets who need extra patience or attention. I also love keeping pet parents connected by sending cute photos and videos during each visit, so you can see how happy and loved your furry family member is while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and dependable hands. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am fully available to dedicate my time to pet care. I recently transitioned from my role as a Data Analyst and am excited to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy — caring for animals. I treat your home and pet as if they were my own. A trustworthy sitter whom respects all places they are in and all people they are with.
“Nabilah has sat for 2x now each time she is 100% on task with Cassidy informative, followed all directions to assist with Cassidy’s schedule and medication needs, we are always confident that Cassidy will be in great hands with Nabilah!!!!! Thank you against Jean”
“Melinda is wonderful with our Shiba Inu. Melinda has watched our Shiba many times and has stayed overnight as well. I can happily recommend Melinda as a responsible and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Mackenzie has been amazing to work with. She kept our fur baby very happy and loved while we were away. She is very easy to communicate with and prompt to keep the pets schedule. She was also sure to send pictures and reassure us that everything was going well. It was a huge blessing to keep our pup in his own home and have someone trustworthy like Mackenzie to stay with him.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I’d want for my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I’ll provide personalized care to meet their needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m excited to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners by providing dependable, compassionate care every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions if needed, and any house rules. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I also keep doors and gates secure, use leashes during walks unless otherwise instructed, and provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Amber was wonderful!! I was nervous leaving my baby with someone other than family. She made me feel comfortable and safe. Updated me with pictures! I came home to a very happy boy.”
“I can’t recommend Taylor enough!! I came to her with a big last minute request- she accepted and went above and beyond the entire time to take wonderful care of my pups. She was extremely patient, flexible, and is excellent with communication. I will absolutely be booking with Taylor again!”
“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.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Saint Lucie
Aaliyah went above and beyond caring for our dog Millie in our home for 10 days! She took great care of Millie and even cleaned up very well after come accidents Millie had. She was very communicative and took extra care of our dog’s itchy paws. We definitely plan to use her for future boarding. Highly recommend!
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!
My husband and I had a 10 day trip pre-planned when we adopted 3 shelter cats several months prior. Because of their age and emotional 'baggage' we wanted an experienced cat sitter for them in our home. We chose Nabilah for several reasons: 1. She was not the cheapest. Her pricing reflects her excellent qualifications and extensive experience, not only with cats but with all animals. 2. She has her own 5 rescue cats. 3. She came to our home to meet us and our cats and to tell us about herself before we booked with her. 4. She is a genuinely nice person. While we were away, Nabilah kept in regular contact with us, sending texts and photos several times per day, and she always answered my phone calls. She stayed on the feeding & playtime schedule we had established but since our cats were so new, I asked for any suggestions or observations. She was very helpful in that regard and brought in different types of cat food textures and different treats to try. Nabilah also worked with our cats, successfully getting them all to use the litter robot - which we were thrilled about! Ten days is a long time to leave your pets but Nabilah did a wonderful job taking care of our three and giving them love and affection while we were away. Before we returned, Nabilah straightened up the house, vacuumed, cleaned the countertops, etc. This wasn't expected but was very much appreciated! We could not have chosen a better person to entrust with our home and with the care of our precious kitties! Yes, we 100% recommend Nabilah!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 647 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Port Saint Lucie. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
