“Isabelle is a great sitter! She arrived very prepared for the stay and asked a lot of questions to make sure my dog got the best care while she was here. During the stay she was very easy to reach and provided great updates with how my dog was doing.”
“Destiny was amazing with our dogs! We have 3 dogs which can be a handful at times but she took great care of them. Put my mind at ease day 1 of our trip. Highly recommend and will be booking again in future!”
“Yaretzi was amazing and shared photos of Zarra during her care and also kept me updated on how she was doing. Yaretzi was very understanding and acknowledged our concerns of leaving our fur baby for the first time. We will definitely contact her again when we are back in town.”
About: Greetings! My name is Monica and I look forward to learning all about you and your pets! First, a little about myself and the care I am qualified to provide. I have always had a unique desire and ability to take in and care for animals, but when I began working in rescue and brought my first heart-dog into my life, it grew into a true passion. He was a joy and one of the best companions I’ve ever had. We currently share our home with 2 dogs and a foster pup, and I bring an experienced and loving approach to every pet in my care. I have over 30 years of providing care and support for animals, mostly cats and dogs, but also pocket pets, exotics, pigs and birds, including chickens. I have been a foster volunteer, coordinator and board member for a national breed rescue for the last 20 years. In that time, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and temperaments from energetic pups to seniors fostering dozens of rescued dogs and cats, including pregnant moms, whelping litters of puppies and raising orphan bottle-baby kittens. I have extensive experience with special-needs and senior pets, including monitoring and treatment of acute and long-term medical conditions, recovery from injuries and surgical procedures, physical therapy, paralysis, specific dietary needs and preparation of homemade pet foods. I am qualified to administer medications, injections and sub-q fluids and assist animals during rehabilitation. I’ve also worked as a dog trainer focusing on behavior modification and basic obedience training and greatly enjoy helping dogs learn and develop at their own pace. I maintain a close relationship with several of our local veterinarians and trainers with a network of professional resources. I look forward to sharing time with your pets! I have a flexible schedule and strive to accommodate the individual needs of each pet and family, including visits for walks and playtime and overnight sitting in your home. I have the ability to work with a variety of care needs, and prioritize the safety, well-being and happiness of beloved animals and their humans above all else. I also carry pet care insurance for clients’ trust and assurance partnering together with their beloved fur-families, and have completed the American Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid Course.

“Rose was incredible. Communicative, responsive and great with our 4 buddies. She had her hands full and I don’t think even batted an eye at the idea of watching 3 bigger dogs and a cat all at once. We would absolutely have her house sit again. Trust her wholeheartedly. Thank you, Rose!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I am a genuine animal lover and have gotten along with every pet I’ve come across with enough time. Every pet is different with a variety of needs, I’m here to understand that and give them the best care possible! I’m currently starting out on Rover so I do not currently have a routine. I am very open and fluid with scheduling so please reach out! I love spending time with animals so getting your pet to be comfortable with me is a big priority. Aside from caring for the specific needs for your pet, I would love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting your pet!
About: I've been dog sitting for friends and family when they go on vacation. When I was in highschool I love dogs and cats I had a dog and 2 cats when I was younger. A yr ago I did work at the east coast estates in Melbourne I loved it because I love working with animals I also worked at a dog groomer in pineda causeway I gave the dogs bath and got them ready for the groomers.. I do work part time cleaning houses so I make my own schedule I don't mind dog sitting at the owners house if they want me to stay over night I will do that.. At clients home If they would let me know the times they want me to feed there pets if they walk the dogs or let them out if they have a fenced yard . I would do whatever the owner wants me to do
“Aramie was great with my 2 pets. They were well loved amen care of for our 15 days away. I would highly recommend Aramie, she keeps you informed and is trustworthy. I cannot thank her enough for giving me a piece of mind while out of the country.”
“Ansley exceeded our expectations! We knew she was the perfect fit for us within minutes of our meet and greet. Our pups absolutely adored her! Plus we came home to a neat and clean home. Don’t hesitate to hire Ansley!”
About: I have had pets most of my life and will treat them with love and kindness. I have also volunteered for Frenchbull dog foster in the past. I am a stay at home mom and homeschool my kids, which means I am home most of the time. I have occasional outings, but I will be able to be there to make sure they go out and get lots of love. I do have chickens, but I have them blocked off with a closed in fence in our yard. I do have a big yard that is completely fenced. I will make sure your family member is comfortable and fed. Make sure they feel safe and welcomed. I will follow any and all rules or instructions presented to me for their pet and make sure they have fun. :)
“Stephanie is absolutely fabulous! She’s extremely accommodating, fantastic communicator, my dog’s had a great time with her, and I will definitely be using Stephanie again. I can’t recommend Stephanie highly enough – your fur babies and your home will be incredibly well taken care of with Stephanie.”
“Kristina went above and beyond to make sure Kiba was well taken care of. She truly cares about all of her animals and she made sure that our dog was comfortable with her tending to him before by spending some time with him prior to the house sitting. This made me feel secure as well that my pet and my home was cared for. I looked forward to the many daily pictures and updates while we were away. I look forward to using her again!”
“We were so anxious about leaving our 2 younger fur babies because we had never left them before and they are pretty attached to us. When she came for an initial visit all of my babies went to her, even my little one that doesn’t take to people. Zarah put our minds at ease about leaving them. She sent photos daily and reassured us they were doing great. She slept in our bed with them so they could keep up their regular routine. We will be using her for future needs.”
About: I’ve had a dog since age 7 and would give him baths and take him for walks. As an Amazon driver I had many cases where dogs would charge at me barking and growling, but they’d quickly start wagging their tails after sniffing my hand and sensing that I’m not a threat. I also have had cats all my life and my cat, Jazzy, is my best friend and only trusts me! I just moved to FL from CT and am currently staying with my grandmother and looking for a part time job and hope to be able to take care of pets on my off days I am very careful to follow any instructions for caring for your pets. I’m not careless or forgetful and will follow any directions to a T and ask questions if I am unsure about anything.
About: I've been around animals most of my life and it truly is nourishment for my soul. My happy place is with them 💕 Prepare for your dogs to be spoiled with love and attention. They rule my home and my heart and always come first! I am experienced in raising a puppy and watching all my friends fur babies when they need it. My main ingredient is PCL, patience, consistency, and love. They will leave here with full and happy hearts! 🥰 ❤️ My work schedule is from Mon-Thursday 5 am till 3:30 pm. My work place is 25 mins from home. I can drive home for lunch to take them out and feed them. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room for zoomies.🤗 I never leave pets outside unattended. I also have an extra large crate if needed. I also have a certificate in cat and dog first aid. Expires 4/11/2027
“Beatriz was very attentive, very communicative, always on time and took great care of my pups. Sent pictures, asked the right questions, loved on them. Awesome! She was a blessing, gave us peace of mind, knowing my girls were in great hands! I will call on her again! Thanks so much!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! This was our first time ever leaving our dogs and she came to do a meet and greet with them and we knew immediately she was good for our critters. Our dogs loved her, she was very playful with them and so caring. We were gone for two days everyday she checked in with us with pictures, videos, and text messages!! Very good with communication which eased a lot of worry while we were away. If we ever are away again we will definitely be booking lauren any and every time!! Thank you again!! :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sebastian
Logan was a great pet/house sitter for us. He bonded immediately with our girl, which turned out to be extremely important as they weathered some pretty noisy thunderstorms together! Logan provided daily updates on their walks and left the house neat and clean. We will use him again.
Being the first time I left my girls (2 labs) with someone besides family, I was nervous. Logan was wonderful with my dogs as well as me. He texted me and sent pictures daily. My dogs were calm and did not seem to be stressed at all with Logan staying with them. I would highly recommend him.
Daisy seemed to have great care with Derek. He was reliable and came a day early for a meet and greet. He seemed to follow the instructions I left. He was very pleasant and was willing to do what was asked. He also kept us informed and sent lots of pictures. The house was left in great condition. I wouldn't hesitate to have Derek again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sebastian is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Sebastian 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 Sebastian 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 Sebastian 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sebastian. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
