“Jack was the absolute best! He took the best care of my senior dog who has to get daily eye drops. I would highly recommend Jack if you’re looking for someone trustworthy, considerate, and animal loving. He sent me many photos while I was away which was very thoughtful. Can’t say enough good things about Jack!”
About: Don’t see that I’m available when you’d like to book? Please feel free to message me, and I’ll see if I can accommodate. Thank you for your interest! PLEASE NOTE: I WORK A FULL-TIME JOB IN AN OFFICE (based in Juno Beach) and may not be able to check on your pets as frequently as you’d like, especially during the day. I have experience caring all kinds of animals, personally and professionally for more than 10 years. Growing up and through adulthood, my family always owned Golden Retrievers. When I was young, I expressed interest in animal care and owning my own pets, ranging from small mammals, birds, and reptiles. In my teenage years, I started out pet sitting for family friends and have continued to pick up pet/house sitting gigs whenever and wherever I can. I also have experience administering medication to some of the animals I’ve cared for. Professionally, I have worked at a veterinary hospital and boarding facility for two summers. At this facility, I was responsible for the care and socialization of dogs of various sizes and demeanors. I also worked at my local humane society caring for cats and dogs with different lead styles, temperaments and bite thresholds. I was responsible for providing the dogs with three walks a day. Through this job, I also have some experience with clicker training and administering bordatella and rabies vaccines to incoming stray dogs. Looking to make extra money doing what I love! I do work full time, so my most open days for all services are Saturday and Sunday. However, I can accommodate AM drop in visits any day of the week. And I am open to pet sitting in your home any day, as long I can work it around my full time job. I provide regular photos and updates to owners to build and instill trust. I also make sure to follow care instructions as written to ensure proper care as intended. And I make sure to bring a calm and confident energy when entering and inhabiting your pet’s space. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority!
“Madeline was great. She immediately showed interest in my furry kids , had great recall of our meet and greet regarding kids and preferences. She was on time and gave me regular updates!”
“Micheal was fantastic from the first point of contact . Communication was excellent before caring for Holly and Kobe and during the time they were in his care. Micheal ensured he had all the information he needed to care for Holly and Kobe . He took the time to get to know them before we went away . Whilst we was on holiday Micheal would send daily updates with photos. We did not have to worry about Holly and Kobe whilst on holiday as we knew they were being well cared for . We had two happy dogs on our return from holiday and they have not sulked with us for the first time for leaving them !”
“I was away for about one week and Ruah stayed with my babies. She took great care of them. I will definitely be a returning customer! I highly recommend her services if you are looking for someone who truly cares for your pups!”
“Ashley is wonderful! My little old man is in great hands with her. She provides pictures and updates and makes me feel extremely comfortable leaving my elderly dog in her care!”
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: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve always loved animals and I’m excited to start caring for pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and I know how important it is to follow your pet’s routine and your instructions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I work full-time during the week, but I’m available after work and on weekends. I’m flexible with evening routines and will do my best to work around your pet’s schedule. I’ll always treat your home and your pet with care and respect. I’ll follow your instructions, stick to your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll care for them like they’re my own.
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs big and small. I have some experience in senior dog care, because I had a dog from when she was a 1 years to 16 years old. Pet care is a big part of my routine since I work from home as a local artist, I am available on the weekdays and weekends. I treat every pet like a member of my family. I love taking them on walks, feeding them their meals, playing with their favorite toys, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. When pets stay in my home, I like to meet and greet them beforehand to help them feel comfortable with me and their new surroundings. Once I know they feel safe and settled, I welcome them with plenty of love, toys, cozy beds, and fresh water. If they’re staying for more than a couple of hours or overnight, I also provide food according to their owner’s instructions. I enjoy keeping pet parents updated with photos while they’re away, and I’m happy to arrange a FaceTime call so they can see and interact with their pets whenever possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I like to meet them and their family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. During this visit, I go over feeding routines, litter box care, medications, emergency veterinary information, family or friends to contact, and any other special instructions for their beloved pets. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels secure and well looked after.
“Samantha was a wonderful sitter for both our pets and our home. We have never left our pets with a sitter before, and she came over and spent time with them beforehand, making sure they felt comfortable with her. She managed two dogs and one cat, with two of those pets being on different medications (both oral and injected) with no issues. She sent tons of updates and checked in with us constantly! She left our house very clean and followed every instruction we gave her. We are thankful we found her! I would definitely hire her again.”
“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!”
“Second time booking with Ashley and once again so happy with how she cared for Maxie! Ashley was great at communicating with us and sending pics while we were away - keeping us updated on any issues - will book again !”
“Siddonie did an absolute AMAZING job taking care of our german shepherd, Luna! Our previous sitter cancelled the DAY OF our cruise while we were already boarding the ship so I was panicking, but Siddonie was able to drop everything and take care of our sweet girl. Luna is very shy and has a hard time eating her food right away, but Siddonie made her comfortable enough to get her to eat and I am so thankful. I would definitely rebook Siddonie in the future!!”
“I always know that Asher will be SO well cared for by Mackenzie. It’s such a relief when I am out of town to know that my girl is in good hands! Thanks, again, Mackenzie!!!”
“Lisa did a great job with my two dogs on their very first time staying with a sitter overnight. They were scared and anxious, but she made them comfortable and feel safe so they were able to warm up to her! Also, you’ll get lots of pics which was very appreciated!”
“Morgan was so great!! She watched our 9 month old pug for a whole weekend while we were away for a wedding and we felt so comfortable and happy with her! She sent updates and took great care of our pup and our home! She left the house clean and tidy and kept our angel happy! Thank you, Morgan!”
“Lin was amazing at caring for our dog while we were away! I had to book last minute and she was able to take care of everything for us. You can really tell that she cares for dogs. She was great with communication and sending updates also. Highly recommend!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riviera Beach
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
Samantha did an amazing job taking care of little Sam. This is the first time I’ve left him in the 6 years that I’ve had him so I had so much anxiety. Samantha gave me peace of mind while I was away sending me constant videos and photos of Sam. She stayed overnight and made sure Sam felt comfortable and safe as well. I felt so much better having someone so responsible staying with my little baby. ❣️
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!
Alejandra was great with our Yorkie, Cherry. She was very friendly, communicative, and made the whole process easy for us. Cherry seemed comfortable right away and everything went smoothly from drop-off to pickup. It gave us peace of mind knowing Cherry was in good hands. We would definitely trust Alejandra with Cherry again and highly recommend her.

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.
<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 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 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.
