“Ashley is wonderful! My little old man is in great hands with her. She provides pictures and updates and makes me feel extremely comfortable leaving my elderly dog in her care!”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have also had experience raising puppies and kittens. I love cats just as much. I have an 8 year old dog named Percy, and 10 year old cat named Toulouse who love and play with another all day! I have experience with dogs ranging from different sizes and personalities, but no matter what I know each dog is special. I’ve treated all of the animals in my life like they’re family, and have built a loving relationship with each and would love the opportunity to get to know your animals as well. I understand how important it is to treat each animal with love and respect, and will do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your furry family member. I’m available most mornings and nights. I am also most afternoons depending on the week and the clients I have booked for my regular job. On Fridays and weekends I have the most flexibility! I treat each animal with the safety and care they deserve! I believe all animals are apart of the family and should always be treated as such.
About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal—whether you need a regular midday walk, a drop-in while you’re away, or someone to settle in with them overnight. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and give you one less thing to worry about. With 20 years of my own pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. Whether I’m there for a 30-minute visit or making your home my home base while you’re away, I take the responsibility seriously. That means thoughtful care for your pets, respect for your home, and attention to the little details that help everything run smoothly. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands—whether I’m part of their everyday routine or caring for them while you’re away. And yes, they’re probably getting a few extra cuddles along the way! I am self employed so I have the ability to give your pet all the time and focus it needs. I routinely walk my dog at the local parks and around the neighborhood multiple times daily and could easily do the same for your puppers or kittens too. I care for my cat daily with lots of play and petting too. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and any special instructions specific to your pet and home. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated along the way, and pay attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pets and your home are in good hands.
“Nicole O was amazing!!!! We felt so comfortable from the minute we met her. My dogs loved her and she did an incredible job. Great communication, on time, reliable and so friendly. Highly recommend Nicole!!”
“Julia house/dog sat over the Thanksgiving holiday. I appreciated her updates and she was also very responsive to my occasional check-ins. She was extremely flexible and responsible. We came home to a happy/relaxed pup. I will definitely request Julia in the future when the need arises! Thanks Julia :)”
“Valerie was great! From the moment we met her we knew Rocky would be in greats hands. She took Rocky on many walks and they played plenty of fetch. Valerie is a trustworthy and reliable Rover sitter, we are happy we found her.”
About: I enjoy caring for animals and playing with them. I regularly watch my sisters, Rottweiler and Pitsky mix. I grew up with dogs, love their company!! I’m currently looking for new opportunities. Looking forward to meeting the doggies and puppies and creating a bond !! Happy to help out when needed! Will follow any lists or rules by owner, I do have a fence backyard, can take them out on leash if it’s more comfortable for the owner.
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I believe that pets deserve happiness and comfort and I would love to ensure that your pet does too! My schedule with my job is different every week although I am flexible and can always find a way to fit your pet care into my schedule!! I have a fenced in spacious yard so your pet can run and play. I also have other dogs so that if your dog is playful then they will have company and lots of toys.
“Susan was wonderful with my 3 doxies. She sent me pictures while I was away and sent me texts too. She made sure they were fed, had plenty of water and outside play time. I would definitely use Susan again in the future.”
“Stephanie was so wonderful and she exceeded all of my expectations! I was so nervous to leave my dog while I went on a weekend cruise because he’s so used to being with me but knowing Chico was well taken care of made this trip that much better. She provided multiple updates throughout the day with pictures. I just knew Chico was in the best of hands! I will absolutely rebook with Stephanie every time I have to leave my little one behind”
About: Caregiving is naturally who I am. As a former teacher I’m a second mom to many of my students. I also cared for my elderly parents I work from home on my own schedule and I have free time in my schedule daily. Most days I’m available for additional activities or commitments. I live in an apartment community that has lots of open walking space and a dog park. If needed your dog can be crated safely
“Stacy is wonderful. She emanates caring, genuine, loving and kind vibes; I liked her the instant I met her. And so did my dog, who jumped on her and gave her lots of kisses. She took such great care of him despite his sometimes-wild and crazy energy. She was very flexible and accommodating for a last-minute request. Definitely will reach out to her again!”
“Susana was a delight and we couldn’t be more grateful for the way she cared for and loved on our sweet boy. She was respectful, responsive, and sent so many pix/videos. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and feel very comfortable caring for all kinds of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve watched all kinds of breeds including, but not limited to, Pit Bulls, Great Danes, Yorkies, Doodles, Huskies, and more. I’m used to adjusting my care to fit each dog. I also worked for two years at a dog grooming shop where it was just me and the groomer, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience handling dogs, reading body language, and helping dogs who were nervous or high-energy stay calm and safe. I’ve had my own dog for 8 years, so I truly understand how important routine, trust, and good communication are when it comes to caring for someone else’s pet. I take a relaxed but attentive approach and focus on making dogs feel comfortable, safe, and cared for—like they’re at home. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m home full time, which allows me to have full availability. I am also flexible and can accommodate longer stays, frequent check-ins, or last-minute needs. I provide attentive, structured care specific to each pet’s needs. In my home, dogs have access to a large, fully fenced backyard (1 acre) for safe outdoor play. I can walk/run dogs, and I also have transportation to take dogs to parks and trails. I’m happy to crate dogs if a crate is provided but prefer to let them free range. If a dog needs space, rest, or separation, I have plenty of private areas. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, but I’m very mindful about introductions and compatibility.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Royal Palm Estates
Aline did an amazing job house sitting with my two cats. They appeared to be very comfortable with her after a couple of days and she spent plenty of time with them playing and chilling. Regular reports and pictures letting me know how everything was going. She also did a great job taking care of the house and kept it tidy.
Andres did a fantastic job with our 2 dogs! He sent me updates with photos of my dogs a few times a day which was really appreciated! Most importantly, my dogs are very comfortable with Andres! I highly recommend Andre’s and I will be hiring him again for sure!
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!
Carla was amazing, we are booking her again soon for another overnight stay! We booked her for 5 nights to take care of our elderly dog, and she was very well taken care of! Many pictures were sent, she was very responsive, and followed her routine and care. Highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Royal Palm Estates is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $40 per night.

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 , 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.
