“My 5 year old definitely has separation anxiety. When my family booked a vacation elsewhere than our planned my house, instead of hauling him off to boarding in his presidential suite, I decided to let him have the joy of staying in his bed with his toys and in the comfort of his home. Ashley agreed to come meet my pup so they could become acquainted before we booked and they hit it off immediately! Day 1 of be being gone, I received several photos helping ease my stress of my sweet pup. By day 2, he was cuddling with her on the couch! I definitely found my pup sitter from now on! I would also like to add, I had the sitter stay in my home while I was away, and I walked into my house finding it cleaner than I had left it. Thank you Ashley for taking such great care of my pup!!”
About: I have cared for many types of dogs and cats, even horses over many years. I have the patience and passion for the care and love of animals! Detailed orientation professional making sure the client has their needs met having the care and safety of their animals cared for in a timely manner. If the client requires their dogs to be carefully watched within the confined of their fences. Watching the animals from getting into anything they are not allowed. Asking if they would want me to play ball or fetch, or taking the dog(s) on a walk.

About: Since i was a kid i used to bring home (without my mom’s consent) stray cats and feeding stray dogs or taking home puppies i would find abandoned around my apartment building. I absolutely love all kind of animals and i feel myself around them. Each of them brings different emotions and different experiences and i am captivated by that. I have a baby girl of my own, a sweet frenchie which has her own personality that she doesn’t keep for herself, she is very friendly around ppl and other animals, curious and sometimes pushing her boundaries and getting bit or hurt. If you are looking for someone to take care for your babies in your absence look no further, i will take my time and offer the best time possible. Have you all a blessed day 🐾💖 I am an artist working from home and i don’t have a set-up schedule. I go out with my dog three times a day and spend about 30-40 min outside usually. The details will be discussed with more details when booking. I live in an apartment and i own a french bulldog who is very friendly and loves making friends. There are a lot of places around my area where they can play and enjoy the outdoors
“Yanaeliz was the best house sitter/fur baby watcher one could hope for. She was communicative the entirety of my 10 day trip, as well as care and loved on my 2 dogs just as I would. I came home to a clean home, and 2 loved doggos. I highly reccomend Yayaeliz, as you can trust that your animals and home are in the best hands. I will be using her for every time I am in need of care for my dogs, and encourage you to do the same. Thank you, Yanaeliz!”
“Jessica was such a great find. She was so good with my Ziggy. Kept me very informed thru out the evening. Came home to a very content puppy. Definitely will be using her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Royal Palm Estates
Halley took wonderful care of my two pups while we were away for the weekend! She was very communicative, professional, and asked questions to ensure she knew how to provide the best care. I was nervous to use Rover, but Halley’s attentiveness put my mind at ease! I would definitely hire Halley again to care for my pups.
Leaving our three dogs while we went on a family vacation cruise could have been stressful, but Elayne made the entire experience completely worry-free. She was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and took the time to understand each of our dogs' unique personalities. Throughout our trip, she kept in constant contact with regular updates, which gave us complete peace of mind. To top it all off, we came home to very happy, well-loved pups and an immaculate house! Elayne went above and beyond, and we will definitely be using her every time we go away. Elayne is hands-down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! We strongly suggest everyone book Elayne—she’s truly the best, and your dogs will love her!
Shawn has watched the "Kids" twice for us in our home when we had to go out of town, and let me just say, he's one of the best dog/home sitters you'll find on Rover. I've tried a few different sitters over the years, and Shawn J. is the only one I'll use again. One of the most reliable, caring sitters on this site. DO NOT HESITATE to book him to watch your pets/home. There is no price you can put on peace of mind while away. Book him today!
Rachael went above and beyond in her care for my pup and my home. She provided updates including about their walks and playtime, left the house immaculate including stripping the bed, taking out the trash, and doing laundry, and sent daily photos. I would strongly recommend Rachael for your pet sitting needs.
Gwen is the absolute best! She took care of our lab Maisie over the Memorial Day holiday weekend as well as our son's little cockapoo, Beau. She's taken care of Maisie multiple times before, but this time she had two to deal with, two pups who don't live together, two pups who were both away from their parents.... And she handled this with patience, kindness, and thoughtful care of both of them.
Chante is amazing. She stayed in our home and took care of our two dogs for the first time, while we were out of the country for 11 days. Right from the start, she was professional, responsible and focussed on our needs and those of our dogs. She came for not one, but two pre trip meetings, where she met the dogs, introduced her dog to ours, walked them and discusses all the details of care. Our dogs are older, with feeding and medicine needs and Chante took care of all that without any problems. She was very loving to the dogs and kept us informed the whole time we were away, with texts, pics and videos. We came home to find our house perfectly clean, and our dogs perfectly cared for and happy! We could not be more thrilled with Chante! We are so happy to have found her and will be using her whenever we have doggy care needs. Thanks for everything, Chante!
Somyr was absolutely wonderful with Kingston. From the very beginning, she kept us informed and at ease, sending sweet updates and pictures that truly meant a lot to us. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our love bug and treated him with so much care and attention. Knowing he was happy, comfortable, and loved made all the difference. If you're looking for a loving pet sitter. I highly recommend Somyr to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. When she left, Kingston was looking for her. My husband had to take him out front to show him that she was gone.
Terra was an exceptional pet sitter. We have multiple pets with diverse personalities, and she effortlessly managed to engage with all of them. Our pets are Covid pets who struggle with changes in their routines, and Terra demonstrated remarkable patience with them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Royal Palm Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Royal Palm Estates on Rover is $29.97 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 2,506 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Royal Palm Estates. 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 Estates 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 Estates 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 Estates 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.
