About: **Now booking for Thanksgiving + Christmas! I have weekend availability for overnights** Hi! I have experience working and handling dogs, cats, parrots and chickens, reptiles, and fish ever since I started helping my sister way back when I was a child (15 years!). Ever since, pet care has been something I enjoy doing and can proudly say I am great at! I have experience with security systems, gated communities, and of course all the unique quirks pets can have. Whether you need a daily dog walker, a house watcher, a once in a while cat sitter, or an emergency reptile keeper, I can help. In addition to pet care, I will ensure your property is taken care of while you are away. Mail + packages will be brought in, trash taken out, plants watered, lights and AC adjusted, and any accidents will be cleaned up as directed. Message me to schedule a free Meet & Greet (about 20 minutes) to make sure your pet(s) and I are a good fit before booking. During this meeting, we will cover pet care and routines, collet keys, cover house information, emergency contacts, and most importantly I will meet with your pet(s) to help them be comfortable with me. I am looking forward to meet you! I do pet sitting as my full time job! I take my job very seriously and pride myself on being professional and providing the best care possible for your property, dogs, cats and whatever other critters you may have! During walks I am focused on not only exercising your dog, but also ensuring they have a fun time! If allowed, I will play with your dog to ensure that they are ready for a nap before I go. I am comfortable with big dogs, little dogs, loud dogs, shy dogs, and jumpy dogs! I am also comfortable with dog reactive dogs. I also have experience caring for cats and other pets such as fish, birds, and reptiles. I personally have two dogs and have had a flock of ten chickens. I have experience with eye drops, ear drops, and pilling dogs- so if needed I will gladly do that. If your dog requires any wound care or a shot, I would need to be shown how to do that.
“My 3 dogs were taken care of for 2 weeks at my home and they were all fine and no issues with escaping. One of them realized she could jump my fence right before I left but there was no escaping when I was gone because she kept the doors locked. My dog checks! She handled them and I had peace of mind.”
“Great sitter for a last minute booking. Jaina was kind, professional, and took great care of the dogs. Appreciate all her detailed messages, updates and plenty of photos. Highly recommend to anyone who needs someone reliable and trustworthy!”
“Malia took excellent care of my two dogs and cat. She was punctual and everything was tip top when I came home. Her updates gave me peace of mind. I am very grateful to Malia!”
About: I have over 14 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, along with 8 years of dedicated pet sitting. I currently work at a dog park and dog daycare, where I supervise group play, handle different temperaments, and ensure a safe, structured environment. I’ve cared for everything from extra large breeds to small dogs, including puppies and seniors. I also have experience with rehomed dogs and understand they may need extra patience and consistency. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic training, and maintaining routines to keep dogs happy and well-balanced. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently work part-time at a dog park and dog daycare, where I spend my time caring for and supervising dogs of all sizes and energy levels. This has made me very comfortable with structured schedules, feeding times, walks, and consistent care. Because I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet sitting, including drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays when needed. I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and routine they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive to behavior and surroundings, making sure pets are always secure on walks, properly supervised, and never put in unsafe situations. With my experience working at a dog park and dog daycare, I’m confident in reading body language and handling different temperaments calmly and safely. I treat every home with respect—keeping things clean, organized, and just as you left them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since college, and I’ve always loved that every animal has their own little world to discover. Some need the long walk, the big adventure, and a serious game of fetch. Some need to run around like they’ve got somewhere very important to be. And some are happiest curled up beside you, getting approximately 14,000 hours of uninterrupted couch time. I love all of them. I’ve cared for dogs and cats in all kinds of seasons of life, including longer cat-sitting stays in Brooklyn, and I’m big on taking the time to actually get to know your pet. Their routines, their quirks, what makes them comfortable, what makes them light up. The goal is to build trust first, so that when you’re away, they feel safe, cared for, and genuinely happy to see me. And I want that same feeling for you. Clear communication, thoughtful updates, and knowing your pet is in good hands makes everything easier. Whether it’s a long neighborhood walk, a high-energy play date, a slow afternoon with an older pup, or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’m here for the full range of pet personalities. 🐾 I’m currently working on two personal projects, so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m dependable, reliable, and happy to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and longer stays when my schedule allows. I take trust seriously, both with pets and their people. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and what helps them feel comfortable. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to details, and will communicate clearly while your pet is in my care.
“Our dog Kelsey has a new best buddy. Tracy did a wonderful job with our high energy German Shorthaired Pointer. Fortunately, Tracy has just about as much energy as Kelsey. We'll definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”
“Annie took such great care of our boy Gus while we were away for the holiday. She sent frequent updates and let us know how he was doing. We appreciate her immensely and will be happy to book again in the future! Thank you Annie!”
About: I was a kennel supervisor for 8 years. I have sat neighbors animals and family friends animals. I am a Registered Nurse of 30 years! When your pet stays at my house they will be treated as if they were my own. I have an 8 year old black lab Fin who gets along well with all dogs. Your dog will not be in a crate. They are free to roam my house and lay on the couch and cuddle with Fin 🐶❤️. Daily walks are a must ! I have a fenced back yard where the dogs can freely go potty and play. I never take more than 2 dogs at a time so your pup will get the individualized care they deserve . I currently work part time and there are always people home! No matter what hour or day we are here to provide the most optimal care! I will feed them, play with them, walk them, and give them all the attention they need as if they were my own dog 🐕!
About: My family has always had animals around pets and always had friends with dogs and cats. Since I was 14 have been taking care of family pet and pets of friends when they go out of town. Well, I’m currently working a full-time job looking for some extra cash and I have some free time on my hands so anytime after 4:30 would be most ideal I’m an attentive pet owner with daily experience caring for my own 4-year-old cat. I offer cat-only boarding in a cozy, feline-friendly home stocked with plenty of scratchers and extra litter boxes. For dogs and other animals, I offer drop-in visits and house sitting in your home. I am exceptionally detailed when it comes to strict feeding routines, specialized diets, and daily grooming.
“We were so happy to have Amber stay at our home and watch our dog while we were away. She walked her every morning and sent us updates throughout our trip. It was so nice not having to worry about a thing while we were on vacation!”
About: As an empty nester and lifelong animal lover, I have plenty of love and attention to give your furry family member! With no other pets at home, your pup will get my undivided attention, lots of affection, and plenty of one-on-one care. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat yours just like my own! Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. ❤️🐾 As an empty nester, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals! I love staying active, getting outdoors, and going for walks, so spending time with your furry family member fits perfectly into my daily routine. Whether it’s a nice walk, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I look forward to giving them plenty of love, attention, and care! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, personalized care for your pet in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and plenty of companionship. I have a large yard with both grassy and patio areas, although it is not fenced. When your pet needs to go outside, I take them out on a leash and supervise them closely. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so walks and outdoor play fit naturally into my day. Most importantly, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Audrey was an absolutely perfect fit for us! She is reliable and trustworthy. Audrey kept us informed each day with pictures and videos of our animals & property. Audrey went above and beyond while caring for our home and farm. She made us feel very at ease while away from home.”
About: Hi! My name is Chandler and I am currently still in college. I have the pleasure of caring for a dog and two cats all of whom were rescued when they were young so I have experience with training, crating, and all things that come with overly excited puppies and kittens. Shimmer is an indoor/outdoor cat so I am way too good at removing fleas and ticks. Jingles is a super friendly, Heinz-57, small dog who wanted to walk with three of his friends everyday so I have no problem handling multiple dogs of multiple sizes. I first got introduced to watching over other people’s animals about five years ago. My neighbors, who are snowbirds, had two dogs who were getting older and had a hard time traveling back and forth so they stayed with my family a couple months while they were up north for two years. I understand how every pet has a unique personality and I am committed to getting to what is necessary to keep yours happy and healthy. I really miss interacting with animals so I’m hoping you’ll allow me to give some love to your furry family members!!! I have in person classes on Thursday night. I am also working part-time Friday-Sunday. Each shift is between 4-5 hours and my schedule changes weekly. If needed I can make a set schedule with my job to accommodate your pets! Typically when I do walks, I play and make sure they had something to eat/drink before we go out. I don’t time restraint the animals unless set forth by the owner. I bring a water bowl, a toy, some treats, and doggy bags with me when I walk. If you live near a park I will most likely take your dog there if they are comfortable being around other people and dogs. If boarding in my home or yours I perform the same care as my own furry friends: probably giving them two much attention but I will follow your guidelines for when/how much food, whether or not they are allowed on furniture or should be in a crate, and any other special instructions.
“Jessica took amazing care of our boy Blue - he got such much pool time and lots of cuddles which made him a happy boy. I appreciated all the feedback and beautiful pictures and the house was left nice and tidy. Thank you Jessica!!”
“Glenn is great with our two dogs. He sends daily photos and stays in touch the entire trip. He stayed at the house and is very reliable. It’s makes it easier to travel knowing our dogs are well taken care of while we are away. Thanks again Glenn for taking good care of Skye and Balto!”
“Tommy took great care of our golden while we were away. Such a nice guy - Received a photo and update each day. Our pup was happy and could tell he was well cared for while in his home. Definitely recommend and will be using again when out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stuart
Gregory did a wonderful job. This was our first experience with Rover. And Gregory was our first person to respond. We had several others but we liked him from the very beginning. Our fur babies Sophie and bubba both loved him. They kept us informed, took great care of the dogs and the house and all our deliveries. Will definitely have him back again soon. Thanks so much, Gregory. 👍❤️👍❤️
Grace was amazing with our furr babies during a long day sit on the 4th at our home with one nervous big senior, who hates fireworks, and one young, little new rescue. She met us the day before our sit and we all instantly clicked. Grateful for her very caring and considerate handling of our 2 on the 4th! Thank you for hanging with B and L !! WE cant wait to have you back :)
Lori is wonderful with our spoiled Bailey. We never have to worry when we leave him with her. She was at our house over New Year’s and experience a very scared Bailey with lots of fireworks. She handle that situation just like we would have done. Bailey is very happy when he is with her. He hates for us to leave, but is very happy when he sees Lori at the door. We highly recommend her and use her when she is free. Thank you, Lori.

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 Stuart 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 Stuart 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 Stuart 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 Stuart. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
