“Ashley was fantastic - our 2 pups were very well cared for, happy (one goes on a hunger strike usually – so we know she did well as she ate her food🤡) - she sent regular pics & updates. Too, she was incredibly flexible with our schedule – we had a last-minute realtor who wanted to do a showing, and Ashley was very accommodating, quickly tidying our place and taking the dogs out of the home for the showing. Would highly recommend - thank you!”
“Tracy is great! She took such good care of our Chloe, who just had surgery before we vacationed for a week. She always kept in touch and sent pictures of our girl. And she also was a very good house sitter as well. Our home was the same as when we left. I highly recommend Tracy to care for your fur babies.”

Several years of personal pet ownership as well as volunteer and professional experience. 12 years of experience of dog walking and house sitting sitting pets of family, friends, and neighbors.

About: As a mother of five grown children and a devoted dog owner, I have spent much of my life caring for others with patience, kindness, and responsibility. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have often helped friends by looking after their pets when they were away or in need of extra support. Through these experiences, I have learned that every pet has its own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to understand and adapt to each one. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of providing them with love, attention, and a sense of security. Now that my children are grown, I am excited to dedicate my time to helping other families by caring for their pets as if they were my own. I'm currently not working, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, attention, and flexibility for the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy having animals as part of my day. I'm able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, walks, and lots of affection while also respecting each pet's individual personality and needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable, and I'm committed to creating a calm, loving environment where they feel at home. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. My home is also fully fenced in and neighborhood is pet friendly. In my home, l maintain a calm routine with plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and daily routines.
“Viviana was so great to work with. She was super communicative, and truly cared for our dachshund Beau. He immediately warmed up to her as he ate his food with her and us nearby which is unheard for when sitters come over to watch him. We will definitely have her back to watch again and again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Royal Palm Beach
Karen was fantastic! Her attention to detail was excellent, and she took exceptional care of Bentley while keeping a close eye on his needs. She provided great peace of mind, and it was clear she genuinely cared about him. I look forward to having Karen back again and highly recommend her. Thank you, Karen!
I had a great experience with Theresa while I was away for a few days. She was very attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure my pets were comfortable and well taken care of. She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent pictures every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while traveling. Communication was excellent, and I could tell my pets were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Tracy was amazing with my 4 dogs and came through for me at the last minute. She also kept an eye on the house while I was gone and notified me of an expected visitor that drove into my property. My dogs loved her and she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable with her. Thanks for taking such good care of them!
Sofia was truly amazing with my dog, Socks. He was pretty down and missing me while I was away, but she was so patient and loving with him. She really took the time to comfort my boy with lots of snuggles, quiet company, and just letting him feel whatever he was feeling without rushing him. It meant so much to know he was being cared for so gently. He really is a gentle giant :) She also kept me in the loop the whole time with photos and videos, which made such a difference since I was missing him just as much. I'm so grateful for Sofia! She clearly loves what she does, and Socks was really lucky to have her! 100/10 would recommend Sofia to anyone!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Royal Palm Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Royal Palm Beach on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,352 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Royal Palm 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 Royal Palm 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 Royal Palm 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 Royal Palm 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.

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.
