“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.”
“Ashley was great. She was on time. She sent pictures of happy dogs throughout the evening (good marketing!) and we couldn't be more satisfied. We will use her again. One of our boys is quite elderly and we could tell that he had no anxiety.”
“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!”
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and lizards. I have two cats myself🐱. While I’m new to Rover, I regularly help my mom with her Rover pet sitting clients, which has given me hands on experience with feeding, playtime, walks, cleaning, and ensuring all pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m also experienced in kitten care as I have one myself. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s routine and specific needs. I’m a full-time college student at Palm Beach State College, with my classes mainly in the mornings on Monday-Wednesday and Thursday starting in October. I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. My schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care outside of my class hours. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment while following their normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.🐱🐶❤️

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have loved and cared for dogs since I was a little boy. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for many different types of pets. I grew up with dogs, including my German Shepherd, who was part of our family for an incredible 18 years. Caring for her throughout every stage of her life taught me a lot about the responsibility, patience, compassion, and commitment that come with caring for an animal. My experience goes far beyond dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats, rabbits, fish, birds, and many other animals. I also have years of experience riding and spending time around horses, so I’m comfortable around larger animals as well. I’m comfortable with everyday pet-care responsibilities such as feeding, providing fresh water, dog walking, playtime, companionship, cleaning litter boxes and cages, and following each owner’s individual care instructions and routines. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether I’m taking a dog for a walk, keeping a cat company in their own home, caring for smaller pets, or spending time around horses, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that pets are family, and when someone trusts me with their animal, I want them to feel confident knowing their pet is being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. It’s what I wanna do full-time. I love working with animals. I love taking care of them. I love playing with them talking to them walking them grooming them sometimes ironically, I find them to be better than people. I can provide written references where I’ve taken care of, especially a pair of golden doodles for the past couple years, even while their owners go out of the country for weeks son, and they have cameras throughout the house. I keep everything tidy I follow strict rules with how to take care of them. Including potty, walking and feeding schedule.

“Kathleen was the most wonderful pet sitter ever! Not only did my 2 dogs and cat love her but so did we! She stayed at my house for 2 weeks while we were in Spain and cooked for them and even watered our plants and took care of our house. My babies were so well taken care of and loved! ❤️ I definitely will be using her every time! I recommend you do too!”
“Laura was FABULOUS!! She did such a great job watching my dog while on vacation. I was able to be at peace knowing my dog was well taken care of. She sent me updates and pictures frequently without being promoted which was much appreciated! She left my apartment perfect! I will 10000% be using her in the future and recommend Laura to anyone looking for a sitter! Can not recommend enough!”

About: Now that I’m retired, I’m looking forward to having more time to spend caring for animals. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work around your pets’ needs and routines. I’ve always loved animals and currently volunteer at the Humane Society, where I photograph dogs and cats who are waiting to be adopted. I’m happy to spend time with both cats and dogs, whether that means playing, giving them some company, or getting my steps in on a good walk. I’m calm, patient, compassionate, and gentle, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’ll give your pets the same care and attention I give the animals at the Humane Society and my own three cats at home. My schedule is very flexible. Recently retired and have lots of time for your loved ones. Call for more information. Open to all schedules as requested. I am truly adaptable to you and your pets needs. I am happy to follow instructions and ask questions to understand you and what works best for your pets needs.
About: I’ve been around animals including dogs, cats, and horses a majority of my life and have been working/volunteering at animal shelters and a therapeutic horseback riding center for about 6 years. I’ve loved and cared for animals of all ages from puppies and kittens to seniors 🐾 I have plenty of experience with animals who face behavioral obstacles such as anxiety or reactivity. I’m comfortable with administering medications or following established training plans to help keep them happy, healthy, and successful. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide them with all the mental and physical enrichment that they need, including plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles! My time will be fully devoted to providing individualized care for your fur baby :) I’m also CPR and First Aid AHA certified and work as a part-time EMT, so I’m comfortable responding calmly and appropriately in emergency situations as your pet’s safety is my absolute priority🐱🐩💕 My schedule is pretty flexible as I just work 2-3 days a week, but I can work around and accommodate you however you need with proper scheduling and communication! I’m currently working part time, but on my days off I’ll have lots of time to dedicate to your fur babies! My availability is pretty flexible. I prefer to have a run down of the pets’ routine or any quirks they might have when I am house sitting. I’m a strong believer in sticking to their usual routine and making the animals comfortable!

An amazing experience. She was so incredibly thoughtful and made sure Akiko was well taken care of. Akiko is finicky and we could tell she connected with Britanny immediately and really loved being with her. She kept in excellent contact with us and went above and beyond!
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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 2,318 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Royal Palm Beach. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
