“Once again, Dylan was great with our dog and cat. Our dog has a sensitive stomach sometimes and he kept us up to date and was willing to change up the usual routine when our dog decided to have an upset stomach. He’s wonderful and we appreciate him so much!”

About: I've cared for friends and family's dogs for a while now. It is important to me to keep your pet(s) on their schedule, provide enrichment, exercise, attention and safe play while under my watch. I enjoy keeping up on training exercises with younger pups and the slower days of senior dogs. I have my own 3 year old pup as my first dog. She is a lab mix mutt and is off-leash trained, affectionate, curious and playful! I was unable to have dogs or cats growing up due to family members allergies. My availability at this time is weekends; whether it's a Friday night late night and you just need someone to sit with your pup(s) or a full weekend of pet sitting in your home. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable at all times, treating them as if they were my own. At home, my doors and gates are secure or the dog is leashed, no exceptions! My 2nd dog is an escape artist, so that was a very fast lesson to learn. I'm looking to build a great rapport with my clients and their four-legged family members. I want to create peace of mind for the pet owner while they are in my care. The feeling of knowing you have a reliable and dependable pet caregiver is so important to me, I'd want the same for my pups.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bearded dragons and snakes for family, friends, and strangers over several years. I am willing to take care of any animal(s), no matter the temperament or how exotic it may be. As long as there are clear instructions and direct communication, I am able to be responsible any animal(s). My primary job is with Maryland Department of Natural Resources and with certain assignments there is no rescheduling. This assignments are generally on weekends from 11:00 AM - 5:00PM. I am still able to arrive early in the morning and in the afternoon on these days, otherwise that I am available most of the week. My calendar will be up to date at the beginning of every month. I can come to your home but I cannot use my own. I am willing to send pictures of your animal(s) every minute if you miss them and need to know how they are doing.
“Alyssa was great. She arrived on time and took good care of our Frenchie as well as our home. We are very happy to have found someone so trustworthy and who gave Dumpling lots of love and attention. We could tell our pup was comfortable with Alyssa. We look forward to booking Alyssa again.”
About: I am an avid dog (and cat!) lover and have had experience working with other various types of animals over the course of the last 12 years! I previously was a dog trainer and have been trained to work with dog aggression and handling anxious dogs. Currently I own one dog and two cats. My dog’s name is Dzeko and he does well with a variety of animals. My three cats are named The Girl and Malenia. I love hiking and running so I can exercise your energetic pup as much as needed! If you have questions or need help with your dog’s behavior we can also discuss training. I currently work Monday through Thursday in the mornings and wrap up around noon, which leaves me with plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or just spending time with your pets. My weekends are completely open as well. I intentionally keep my schedule flexible and would love to combine my free time with caring for pets. I’m also available for house sitting, so I can provide more consistent care and keep your pets company throughout the day if needed. I try to keep everything as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away! I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely, and I’m very attentive to behavior changes or anything that seems off. I’m clean and respectful of your space! I’m also mindful about safety, making sure doors, gates, and any pet specific precautions are always handled properly. I also like to stay in touch and send updates/photos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for while you’re away!
About: I am a big animal lover! I have had many animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pig & ducks!) I also pet sit for a family who had 3 cats, I have worked with them for 1 year now. I currently have an orange tabby named Theo, he is my world. Me & my spouse adopted him 2 years ago from the Humane Society & he has been the perfect addition to our little family. I am here to love your fur babies! Please feel reach out me with any questions. Thanks! I work a regular full time job. I have fostered 2 cats before and it was a wonderful experience. Most of the time spent with the cats, would be in the morning and all evening long after work to take care and love them. I have an apartment building that is very secure, you can only gain access the to building if you have a key fob. The animals have plenty of space to move around and be free, or sleep super comfy on my furniture.
“Erica did a great job taking care of our home and two kittens while my family was on vacation. She sent us regular updates and left our home in clean and good condition. We appreciated her flexibility when our flight has to be rescheduled. She has a fun personality and we enjoyed her sense of humor. I know our kitties loved her as well. Will rebook in the future. THANKS!!”
“Rebecca was awesome! She took great care of my dog and was super responsive to requests. We recently moved apartments and she was flexible with resolving issues in the new place and helped coordinate giving a key to a new roommate. I returned home to a happy and well cared for pup.”
“Ella was able to housesit for several days over Christmas, which we were extremely grateful for as family from different locations were coming together in one location. The initial meet-and-greet went very well and I felt confident the sitting would go well as Luna was immediately very relaxed (and comfortable) with Ella. Ella was responsive to the dog sitting (and house) instructions we provided and communicated updates on how Luna was adjusting (including pictures) while we were away. Few days had to be tough because of the deep cold snap that hit the DC area on Xmas eve and day making it hard to get out for dog walks. That said, we came home to a relaxed dog. We definitely would consider having Ella housesit Luna again in the future.”
“Alex and Andrea were great with my dogs and cat while I was gone on a 1-week cruise. They sent frequent updates and pictures so I knew everything was going smoothly. I would definitely recommend them and plan to book with them again for my next trip.”
“Donna did a wonderful job staying with our dog Stanley, he was calm and happy when we got back. Knowing he was in good hands made it easy to enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend her, thanks Donna!”
“Our dog warmed right up to Ashley! She took such great care of our complicated guy, and we appreciate how kind and communicative she is. We will definitely be counting on her again.”
“Thank you Kathleen for a great stay with our two pups! We are always a bit uneasy leaving our dogs overnight but there wasn’t a time where we had to feel worried about anything over the past 3 nights! Kathleen sent cute pics and updates of our pups, didn’t mind the occasional behavioral issue and was overall such a great sitter who we’d recommend to anyone!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was around 11 years old and I had a cat when I was little. I absolutely adore animals and believe they deserve the absolute best care. I currently have a full time job but am free every day after 5:30. I will happily take care of your fur baby in the morning before work, on my hour lunch break, and after work. Fully available every other Saturday (after 1:30 on the others) and every Sunday. I make sure my dog is properly fed throughout the day and always has clean water. I take him outside every few hours to use the bathroom and so he can run around and play in the fresh air.
“Jamie is wonderful! She’s punctual, communicative, and caring. She spent lots of time with our dogs when we were away from the weekend and took great care of them and the house. She also sent lots of pics, which we loved. We can’t recommend Jamie enough! Looking forward to many future bookings with her.”

Miranda has been walking our dogs for several months, and she is absolutely wonderful! She is always on time, communicates well, takes them on nice long walks, and sends us the best pictures. We recently trusted her to stay in our home and care for them overnight for an entire weekend, and she did an amazing job. Our dogs had a great time, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were receiving such loving, attentive care. Miranda is dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely wonderful with our dogs. We highly recommend her!
Danielle won over our somewhat cranky 15-yr-old Stanley with patience and kindness. She regularly communicated with us during her 2-day/overnight stay. We were able to really enjoy our time away, knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely try to book with Danielle in the future!
Emily is the best! We have two new rescues that came from a bad situation, so they are understandably skittish and our older rescue is still hesitant of strangers, so her background as a vet tech made us very comfortable leaving them with her. We normally have to do multiple meet and greets to help warm everyone up to a new person, but on her first meet and greet all of our pups were out with wagging tails. This tells you how gentle Emily’s energy is. We have booked Emily twice and she has been incredible. She communicates and sends plenty of updates and makes sure everyone is taken care of. You can’t go wrong booking with her; your animals with appreciate it!
AMAZING! Abigail respected the property, follow instructions, she was the sweetest and so patients with my doggos. Truly grateful for her kindness, and for being available last minute. Let me know everything, and comunicate very good with me. 100% recommended!
Kristiana is my all time favorite pet sitter! She stays in my house when I’m out of town and takes the best care of my two little dogs. She is very clean and always leaves my place the way it was when she got here. I’ve used her plenty of times and recommend her to all my friends looking for a pet or house sitter.
Erica is ABSOLUTELY A GEM!!!! I had to to go in for surgery and it was the first time I had to be away from Harley, the first time I talked to her she put my mind at ease & on the meet & greet she& Harley were a perfect match. There are no words to express my gratitude for the care and love she has given to Harley during his stay with her. He's made a friend for life and I will definitely be using Erica in the future. Thank you Erica, your the best!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Riviera Beach is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $54 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.

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 , 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. 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
