“Angela was very prompt, responsible, and communicative. I booked her a few weeks in advance, she came over once to meet my dog and get an idea of her routine. She then came back the day before my trip for a refresher. She took care of my dog exactly as we had discussed and sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone. My home was exactly as I left it when I got back. Would definitely use Angela again!”
“Justine did a great job with my crazy crew and provided timely updates with super fast communication. I also appreciated her being available on relatively short notice. Would definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
“Danielle is an above and beyond sitter. She was very communicative and cared for my girl like she was her own. She will without a doubt be the first person I call from now on. I can’t endorse her enough!”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our dogs and cat (and bunny). Even with rough weather and power outages, the animals were in good hands. Thank you for keeping them healthy, happy and entertained.”
About: Im the better choice when choosing someone to care for your pet because of the genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every cat/dog as if they were my own. I understand that each cat (or dog) deserves individulized care that matches their unique personality, routine, and comfort level. At the moment I am helping take care of my mother which is a full-time, demanding job, but i still have plenty of time to add pet sitting at my residence or yours. My day will require a carefully blending of tasks rather than creating entirely new one. For example, instead of adding a chore to my routine, dog walking simply turns my solo exercise into a shared, high-utility activity, that I can also do with mother. When going to a clients home, I follow every direction. Walking, feeding, playing. I make sure I leave the pets happy, and your house exactly how the client left it. I do not rush the process at all, to make sure I always exceed the clients expectation.
“Owen was fantastic. Not only was he responsive but the dogs were well taken care of. They were walked, fed, played with, and given a lot of love. While he was watching the pups he also kept the house clean. I got daily pictures ands updates which helped to put my mind at ease about my pups while I was on vacation. I will use Owen again”
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.
“Kimberly was amazing. She took very good care of our fur babies and updated me on how they were doing during her stay with them. She also took extremely great care of our home. Left it very clean. Thank you again for everything. You will definitely be hired back soon.”
“Skylar was phenomenal. She was extremely communicative and I was able to travel knowing my dogs were in excellent hands. I cannot recommend her enough if you’re looking for a sitter!”
“Sara was a lifesaver! She helped house sit our two greyhounds and a guinea pig on short notice, salvaging a family vacation. She was responsive while we were away and when we got home, everything was as we left it and it was clear the dogs (and pig) had been exceptionally well cared for. We'll definitely be requesting her services in the future.”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats, including those with medication needs and I've managed to make connections with pets that had apparently never warmed up to sitters. My internal alarm clock has me awake before 7 on most mornings and I immediately feed my own cats Flower and Eevee and my dog Sprocket. After this my day is mostly open to fulfill your pets needs! I I always try to make the pet feel comfortable with me just existing in their space before care begins, I've found that the pets seeing me with their owner is a good way to start off establishing trust. I do my best to adjust myself and my activities to the pet's routine and their needs so that my presence is a minimal disruption.
“Ashlyn pet sat for my two dogs this past weekend and was great. She was communicative and even sent pictures and videos. My dogs can be weirdos and standoffish sometimes and she handled them easily. Made being away a lot less stressful.”
“Alina is amazing! She is attentive and provides frequent updates that are detailed. I highly recommend using her. One of my dogs had a vomit issue and she handled it so well! Alina is also very sweet. I will definitely be contacting her again for when I’m traveling.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Riviera Beach is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riviera Beach
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!
Emma took great care of my pets while I was away! My cat can be a bit feisty, and my dog is afraid of just about everything, but she was patient and caring with both of them. She sent daily updates and photos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my trip knowing they were doing well. She also stayed committed through an unexpected power outage and loss of A/C at my house, and I really appreciated her flexibility and dedication during a difficult situation. Emma is friendly, dependable, and takes pet sitting seriously. It was clear she genuinely cared about my pets and wanted them to be comfortable and well cared for. I'm thankful for all of her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Riviera Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Riviera Beach on Rover is $39.96 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 4,796 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 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.
