“Jack was a wonderful sitter for our Penny girl. He was kind and attentive through the whole process. I am a bit “extra” when it comes to my dog, I love her so much and as a result she has many needs. Jack was open to everything I needed and wanted for herder g our trip and even walked her longer and more often than I asked. I will definitely be contacting him again for other trips we take in the future!”

“I booked house-sitting services with Julissa for my two Boston terriers. One of them being a senior pup that requires medication administration and has higher needs in general… Julissa was incredible with the both of them. She kept in consistent communication with me, sent multiple photos, took them on multiple walks, reached out responsibly with specific questions to ensure she was meeting their needs appropriately, and overall showed them a lot of love. She also left my house clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Julissa for anyone needing pet care… I will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.

“Margaret and Amos were amazing dog sitters. They watched are two dogs for 9 days and we were so happy with the experience. Our two dogs felt right at home and comfortable with them right away, even our anxious dog who always takes a while to warm up. While we were away they sent us daily updates and pictures. The dogs had such a great time and we so loved while we were away. We will definitely use Margaret and Amos again!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals in both home and shelter settings, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m currently in medical residency, and as an MD I bring a calm, responsible, and detail-oriented approach—so your pet is always in safe, attentive hands. I also have experience with basic training for young pets like house training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. Most of all, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency. I can accommodate feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I adjust my schedule to ensure pets are always cared for before and after other commitments. I also set aside extra time weekly for longer walks, enrichment, and cleaning. I am currently in MD residency, so some weeks are busier than others, but I am very communicative—please let me know your needs and I will do my best to make it work. I provide a safe and calm environment where pets are always supervised and treated with care. I follow all owner instructions closely and maintain household security. In a client’s home, I respect the space, value privacy and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: Throughout my life, we have added several different dog breeds to our family. I will care for your fur babies as they were my own. I am so lucky to have adopted puppies and cared for them until the end of their lives. I am a very caring person and will give your pets lots of attention and love. I am retired, so with that I have plenty of time to play and love your pet. I am available during the week even over night. I have plenty of room in my house for them and will be glad to walk them. I do have a patio that I can close if they want to spend time out doors.

About: Family would always host pets. I’ve had many pets growing up, including tortoises, birds, ferrets, etc! It’s important to me that they are treated with care and patience and I have the experience for that! I currently work an 8-5 so I am available after work. I am available on weekends! I’m pretty good at coordinating and working around my schedule to make sure I can do the job ! I personally like the companionship of animals. I think care, attention, and patience is vital to caring for any animal. I understand I am there to just care for the pet so I want to respect the homeowners privacy and make sure they feel comfortable working with me

About: My love for animals started very young. My dad was always taking in stray cats, and I grew up with a dog as part of our family. That love of animals naturally led me to start caring for homes, children, and pets by the age of 14, so being a trusted caretaker has been part of my life for a long time. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, which is probably why I’m that person who wants to stop and pet every dog that passes me! I am, however, a very proud aunt to two lovely cats, Peter and Abraham. Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I love getting to know their individual personalities. I’m active and energetic, so I’m always happy to get outside for a long walk, play, explore, or give an energetic dog the exercise and attention they need. I’m just as happy spending time cuddling with a pet or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while their family is away. I’m also a bit of a neat freak! I take pride in keeping a home clean, organized, and cared for. When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. My goal is for you to come home to happy, well-loved pets—and perhaps a home that’s even a little cleaner than when you left it. Most importantly, I understand the trust it takes to leave both your pets and your home in someone else’s hands. I’m dependable, attentive, loving, and will care for them as though they were my own. I’m currently a freelance makeup and nail artist, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet and house sitting. My freelance work is typically appointment-based, so if I do need to step out for a few hours, I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s routine and be back for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I love being active and getting outside, so having a four-legged walking companion fits naturally into my day! When house or pet sitting, I’m also happy spending time at home with your pets so they have companionship and can stay comfortable in their normal routine. I’m flexible and will always discuss your pet’s schedule and needs with you beforehand. I currently plan to provide care primarily in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I know every pet and household has its own routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding and medications to litter care, playtime, companionship, and all the little habits that help your pet feel safe and happy. I’m very attentive to an animal’s personality and cues. Some pets want constant affection and company, while others need a little time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I’m also extremely clean and organized and very respectful of other people’s homes. I’ll keep pet areas, bowls, litter areas, and the spaces I use clean and tidy. My goal is for you to come home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a home that may be even a little cleaner than when you left it!

About: Ever since I was 6 years old, I have been taking care of animals of all sorts for as long as I can remember. Cats, bunnies, chickens, reptiles, birds, dogs and fish. Animals deserve respect and each have their own boundaries and needs same as the family that takes care of them, communication is key and I endeavor to deliver. I have plenty of free time to use for good. And what better way then to spend it with pets? I am very flexible, I only need one day in advance, but if you have an emergency feel free to reach out, I might be able to help. I only do care in the client's home, and I follow the family's routine and instructions. I prefer not to interfere with established habits, to minimize stress on the animal. I have cared for different species of pets, played with them, walked them, fed them, cleaned after them and administered prescribed medication. Besides English, I also speak Spanish and Russian.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have also had experience raising puppies and kittens. I have a 5 year old dog named Percy, and ann 8 old cat named Toulouse who love and play with another all day! I have experience with dogs ranging from different sizes and personalities, but no matter what I know each dog is special. I’ve treated all of the animals in my life like they’re family, and have built a loving relationship with each and would love the opportunity to get to know your animals as well. I understand how important it is to treat each animal with love and respect, and will do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your furry family member. I’m available most nights and weekends as well as before my regular 9-5 job. On Fridays during the summer I have off so much more flexibility during the day. I treat each animal with the safety and care they deserve! I believe all animals are apart of the family and should always be treated as such.

About: Driven by a deep love for animals, I’ve dedicated myself to creating safe and nurturing spaces for pets. My journey began at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience bathing, walking, and interacting with dogs daily. Since then, I’ve continued to support local dog owners by offering dependable, compassionate care for their beloved companions. I work part-time, with some days consisting of 8-hour shifts. Outside of my scheduled work hours, I’m home with the pets for most of the day and can give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My schedule varies depending on my shifts, but I do my best to maintain their routines and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I work hard to make sure every pet feels comfortable while they’re with me. I always follow their usual routine. Whether that’s sticking to specific meal times, giving medications, or anything else their owners request. They get multiple walks a day, lots of attention, and plenty of time to relax or play, depending on what they enjoy. Since I’m available most hours of the day, they’re rarely left alone. I make sure to maintain a clean household if your pet is to have any accidents. I want you to come back home in the same condition you left it as.

Ketlie was/is wonderful! We returned home after a 10 day trip, and our dog Shine was happy and healthy, and our home was in perfect shape. Shine took to Ketlie immediately, and unlike with some previous sitters, didn't show any signs of anxiety or neglect upon our return. Ketlie's easy going personality, together with her clear understanding as to how to properly care for a pet, and our return to a spotless home all lead to our hope that she will be available for our future trips. Five star satisfaction, without a doubt!

Julissa did an outstanding job and was extremely professional. Not only did she step in last minute, but she was so affectionate with our puppy. We had complete peace of mind with getting updates and photos - which we really appreciated as we missed our puppy while away and it made it a little easier getting to laugh and smile at the videos of him along with the updates. Would highly recommend Julissa to anybody looking for a pet sitter and my wife and I are so thankful to have been introduced to her

FAQs for House Sitting - Riviera Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Riviera Beach is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $102 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,836 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Riviera Beach. 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 Riviera Beach 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 Riviera Beach 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 Riviera Beach 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 , 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 .

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.

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.
