“Julia did an amazing job caring for not only our pup but also our two rats! She kept us feeling comfortable throughout our trip by providing consistent updates and plenty of photos. She treated our home with great respect and truly went above and beyond. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy.”
“Jeff was a perfect dog sitter💕. He took care of my dog like he owned him and made him feel welcomed throughout his stay! I received photos throughout my trip too! I have already rebooked with him for my next few trips!”
“Margo was fantastic at taking care of my two senior dogs, 7 lb morkie and 7 lb chihuahua. She arrived on time, found my garage door was open, closed it, sent me photos and walked them, fed them and spent quality time with them. Very responsible and a joy to have. Note, my morkie is feisty on walks and barks at everyone. We did a test walk and she handled him beautifully. Thank you Margo!”
“Leonard took to Chelsea immediately. She was accommodating and communicative and I’m REALLY grateful for her time with him. She took such sweet photos of him too!!”

About: I provide more than just pet sitting—I create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care, whether puppy or senior.

My schedule is very flexible as I work from home and if you need overnight care I can bring my laptop and work from anywhere while caring for your pet.

In your home, with your instructions, your pets will enjoy their natural environment.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and have always had a huge love for animals. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with energetic puppies as well as senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m dependable, gentle, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, baths, medications, cleaning up after pets, and keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll do my best to keep their normal schedule so they feel right at home I currently work part-time at Domino’s, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and boarding depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can provide the time and attention their pets need. I’m reliable, punctual, and will always make your pets a priority while they’re in my care. My biggest priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, special instructions, and keeping pets in a clean and safe environment. I will always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for. ❤️🐾
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I can remember. Old, young, high and low maintenance, long hair and short haired, really anything you can think of. I am medically trained, and I’ve taken care of several dogs after they receive medical care. I can administer medication and injections if needed. I am especially great with senior dogs that need a bit of special attention and patience. I’m have a very flexible schedule, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I can check in any time of day, and I’m free most days of the week. I can feed, bathe, play with, take on walks, administer medications, etc in the clients home. I can also bring pets to their vet appointments if needed.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, Rabbits, sugar gliders. Young, old, special needs. I do it all. I believe pets are like children, they love to learn. I am recently retired so I can devote as much time as needed for your furry ( not so furry) babies. A lot of love to give. I prefer to sit in the clients home as I feel the pet will be less nervous or anxious in familiar surroundings. I like the pet to get to know me in their own time. Trust is earned.

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. :)
“Jennifer is AMAZING! This was my first scheduling with Rover and I was beyond impressed. My Aussie got along great with her. Jennifer took the time and attention needed to play, feed and love on Julie. I got plenty of pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend Jennifer 100 times over!! (Jennifer even washed the sheets she slept in so I wouldn’t have to)! She went above and beyond.”
“Danielle is awesome! Our Lab loves her so that makes leaving town so much easier knowing that she is in good hands. We highly recommend Danielle because she is reliable, trustworthy and she truly loves the pets that she cares for! Thank you 😊”
“Reva was awesome with my pup, she was kind and patient with my timid dog and he easily warmed up to her. Received tons of great photos and videos so I was up to date! And left the house spotless! Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both small and large dogs, including breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, Labrador Retrievers, Goldendoodles, and more. I’ve also owned several indoor-only cats over the years, giving me a solid understanding of feline care and behavior. I know that every pet has a unique personality, and I strive to provide the same love, patience, and attention they receive at home so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home Monday through Friday about 95% of the time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Unless I’m traveling for work or on holiday, I’m available for pet care, including during most major holidays. I have a home with a large, securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. My beloved Thumper, a 14-year-old Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund mix, crossed the rainbow bridge on April 24, 2026. While I no longer have pets of my own, caring for other people’s dogs and cats has become a meaningful way for me to continue sharing the love and companionship that animals bring. Whether your pet enjoys playtime or simply relaxing nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Dogs in my care enjoy daily morning and evening neighborhood walks, and they’re welcome to cuddle on the furniture and even the bed if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. When house sitting, I treat your non-smoking/non-vaping home with the same respect and care as I would my own. In addition to providing attentive, loving care for your pets, I’m happy to perform light housekeeping, water indoor and outdoor plants, bring in mail or packages, and take care of other small household tasks we’ve agreed upon. My goal is to keep your pets happy, maintain their normal routine, and give you peace of mind while you’re away. When your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy a clean, comfortable home with plenty of cozy dog beds, a large, securely fenced backyard for zoomies and playtime, and a toy box filled with fun toys. As a special welcome, every first-time boarding guest gets to take home a toy as a souvenir from their Dogcation! I believe pet parents deserve peace of mind while they’re away, so I provide daily photo and video updates, along with a personalized report card summarizing your pet’s stay, activities, eating habits, and overall experience. Because I work from home most of the week, I can offer plenty of one-on-one attention and companionship tailored to your pet’s individual needs. Whether they love to play, cuddle, or simply relax nearby, they’ll receive lots of love and personalized care. I’m highly organized, reliable, and flexible whenever possible with drop-off and pick-up times, including accommodating last-minute schedule changes. My goal is to make your pet’s stay as fun, safe, and stress free as possible for both you and your furry family member(s).
“We were extremely happy with the care Megan provided. This was our first time using Rover with house/pet sitter and so happy we did. We came home from our 5 day trip to a very happy Brady! Megan sent us pictures and messages daily and our Brady looked like he was enjoying the extra attention. We will certainly use Megan again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all sizes and personalities. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and dependable care. I treat every pet like family and am committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves cuddles, routines, or extra play, I’ll provide personalized care based on their unique needs. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to love on your pets and give them all the time and attention they need. Your pets will be treated like my own pets. They are part of the family and are treated like my children. Whatever you are comfortable with as far as allowing on the furniture I will stick to your rules so the pet doesn’t get confused.
About: Though I do not have a yard, I do understand the importance of daily activity (especially for dogs) and in regards to that, I live in close proximity to two dog parks. Growing up around different animals, I’ve grown fond, familiar, and comfortable with caring for different species (from rodents to felines and canines and pretty much anything in between). I am looking to make extra money and gain experience with different breeds of animals, as I am planning to embark on a journey into veterinary school. I love all animals and believe wholly in treating and caring for them correctly. I’ve had cats, dogs, rodents (gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs) , ferrets, birds, reptiles (leopard geckos and turtles), and rabbits just to name a few. I’m always willing to go the extra mile for an animal (whether it’s my pet or not) and I get along with practically any animal and fully believe in building a strong bond with pets.
“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!”

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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Sebastian is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $56 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
