About: Ive been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old, as well as having a black lab of my own. I have a lot of experience with puppies, seniors, special needs dogs, and special services or attention any furry babe might need (such as medications, allergies, and injection treatments) I currently work part time and work from home, and do my schoolwork online so my schedule is very flexible to meet your pets needs and schedule. For home visits, I make sure the dog/ cat has everything they need including food, water, relief, attention and love 💕 and anything else that may be requested from you. For walks I’m very mindful of the Florida heat and the concrete around the time of day.

Stephanie watched our very large and anxious dog for three days while we were away. She stayed in our home. She sent regular updates and asked all the right questions. She followed all directions as far as our dogs routine and needs. We came home to a clean home, as we left it! Will book again in future.

I only needed a sitter for one night, but I was so happy with how Tazzy was when I got home! Tazzy is an anxious pup and can be a little particular about new people and changes to his routine, so I’m always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. When I came home, though, he was completely himself—happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You could definitely tell he got plenty of attention and cuddles while I was gone. 🥰 Everything at home was just as I left it, communication was great, and most importantly, I came home to a happy Tazzy. That’s really the best review I can give a sitter! I would absolutely feel comfortable having her watch him again.

Vicklyn is nothing short of amazing! She felt like a friend the moment we met her. She’s very warm and you can tell right away that she loves animals. She took care of our baby while we travelled internationally for two weeks. Not at any point did we worry about her, we knew she was in great hands! She sent us the perfect amount of updates. She also stayed in our apartment for the entire two weeks and we came back to the apartment exactly as we left it! Couldn’t recommend her enough!

I can't say enough good things about Kara! She went above and beyond while taking care of my dog, Luna, and my two cats. Not only did she shower them with attention and make sure all their needs were met, but she also took the initiative to clean up very well after herself and the pets, and even gave Luna a bath! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, clean dog. I received multiple pictures and videos every day with clear communication. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will be rebooking, and so far she’s the only one in the area i have thought that about. Loved!

About: I have experience caring for pets ranging from dogs and cats to horses and lizards. Animals of all different sizes and temperaments, and I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to follow instructions carefully and give them the attention they’re used to at home. I’m also available for house sitting, which allows pets to stay in their familiar home while their owners travel. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and well cared for while I’m there. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and give owners peace of mind knowing their dog AND home are in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I’m able to schedule walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day, and I’m also available for extended care or house sitting when needed. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets have a secure space, fresh water, and a clean area to play and rest. I follow all owner instructions carefully, supervise interactions, and create a calm, positive atmosphere so pets feel safe and happy while I’m caring for them.

About: I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover for many years, with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have an 11-year-old dog and two cats of my own. One of my cats was rescued from the streets after suffering an injured leg, so I understand the extra patience, care, and attention that some pets need while they recover. I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and giving pets the individualized care and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability throughout the week. Please feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and making sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and affection while keeping the environment clean and safe. I also understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I’m patient and respectful of their individual needs. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, relaxed, and at home while they’re in my care.

About: I have owned dogs my whole life. Right now i own a extremely friendly cat. But I have dog care experience my whole life. Your dog will get plenty of play and exercise when they are with me. I live whiten short walking distance of two really nice parks. I am a huge animal lover so now need to worry about your pet not getting any affection from me. I have a large apartment so when your pet is inside my home it will have plenty of roaming room or plenty of carpet space for a nap. I am extremely flexible with times and dog sizes. I would love to do anything from board your dog to walking it to watching it in your home. I am a trustworthy people person. With me you will know your dog is safe and well cared for. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I’ve built my schedule to be flexible and dependable. I make time each day to care for pets, whether it’s early morning check-ins, afternoon walks, or evening feedings and playtime. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, so I carefully plan my week to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet sitting is more than just a job—it's something I look forward to every day. Whether I'm working part-time or around school or other responsibilities, I always make sure to maintain consistent availability and communicate clearly with pet parents to meet their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a safe, clean, and comforting environment that helps pets feel relaxed and secure in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, play preferences, and any specific behavioral needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection (if they want it!) while also respecting their boundaries and personalities. I keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and ensure food/water bowls, litter boxes, and sleeping areas are fresh and organized. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed and reassured. Trust and respect are important to me—not only for the pets but also for the homes I’m welcomed into. I treat every home with care and professionalism, just like I would my own. Unfortunately I can not care for pets in my own at this time because I live in a tiny studio apartment.

Sean was great. My girl exhibits fear aggression towards other dogs and Sean was able to easily work with her. Not only work with her but they had a great time! He updated me frequently and made me feel at ease while being 3,000 miles away. He also took care of my skink and aged rat. Awesome dog/skink/rat sitter!

Finding someone you fully trust with your dog is not easy, and Nicole exceeded every expectation we had. She is dependable, thoughtful, kind, and clearly takes great pride in the care she provides. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely wonderful sitter. Thank you again, Nicole, for taking such amazing care of our dog.

This is Susha's second time acting as Ernie's groomer lol. At least, that's what he says. The boy loves getting brushed (and fed and given treats), and Susha does all that like a pro. Additionally, the house was spotless when I returned. Her communications are great, and I highly recommend Susha as a petsitter. Except, of course, when I'm out of town.

This was our first time using Rover, and Cheryl was our pet sitter for our Christmas vacation getaway. We couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of our "babies". She's a lovely woman, great with animals (we have both a dog & cat) and even our neighbors who ran into her regularly said she was wonderful. Very glad we found her and would never hesitate to hire her again in the future. I loved the photos she sent regularly to keep us in the loop, and the house looked great when we got home. 5 star all the way!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sea Ranch Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Sea Ranch Lakes on Rover is $50.29 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 4,470 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sea Ranch Lakes. 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 Sea Ranch Lakes 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 Sea Ranch Lakes 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 Sea Ranch Lakes 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 Sea Ranch Lakes. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
