About: I’ve been a pet owner all my life and I love animals. I have two golden doodles and they are my family. I live on a 1 acre fenced in home in plantation acres. I’m currently retired and this is my full-time passion. I’m home 24 hours a day and available seven days a week. I also have cameras throughout my property. I can also provide pick up and drop off of your loving pet if needed..non smoker Attention to detail is my number one focus. I listen to your needs and concerns and execute upmost respect. I have no issues you calling anytime to ask about your pet.
“I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter! My puppy is like my baby, so finding someone I could trust was very important to me. From the moment they met, my pup felt comfortable and even gives her kisses—which says a lot! I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in safe, loving hands. She provides the best quality of care, always sends me pictures, and responds quickly to any messages. I couldn’t ask for more!”
“Stephanie watched on senior german shepherd while we went on vacation this summer. Her care of Leo was nothing short of 5 stars. Her thoughtfulness through her stay and beyond is what truly makes her stand out. Would absolutely have her watch Leo again. He is family and it is so important for us to trust who we leave him with. Happy to say we’ve found just the right person.”
About: I have cared for lots of different kinds of animals in the past. From puppies, elderly dogs, kittens, and older cats. I have no problem giving them medication or treatments they may need. I work at home so I will be able to walk and spend lots of time with your pet. If you have a set schedule for them I will be able to follow it to a T. I have a fenced in backyard so your dog will be able to run around safely. Also inside my screened area I have a pool, so if they like to swim supervised as well. And for cats that like the fresh outside area the backyard screen provides the perfect space. I have a cat at home but he likes to keep to himself so it’s no problem.
About: I am an exceptional choice for someone to take care of your pet(s). I am friendly, attentive, and respectful, always putting your pets safety and wellbeing first. I am a lover of all animals and things “friend-shaped.” I have 3 family dogs and adopted my cat, Venus, 5 years ago. I’ve grown up my entire life with at least 2 dogs in the home at the same time, and the most being 6. My family began rescuing pitbulls in 2007, so growing up with dogs, especially large ones, allows me to feel extremely comfortable around them and understand their body language. I have lived with dogs of all sizes and have lived with multiple cats at time. I would love to help you feel comforted while you are away from home, by knowing that your pet(s) is/are in loving and careful hands. This is a fun fact, but when I was 16, my friends and I fundraised $2,000 within 3 days to donate towards a local shelter, including food, bedding, and other items. I have a reliable means of transportation and I am currently working a part-time, completely remote and flexible job, so I would be able to work around your schedule fully. I wake up early, so I can do early morning walks, drop-ins, or house sit early in the morning. Just let me know. I can adapt to any requirements necessary for your dog/cat. For dogs, I would prefer to walk them with a harness rather than just a collar. I can take your cat on a walk too, if they are comfortable with it—either with a well-fit harness, cat backpack, or stroller. I have my own backpack I could use. I would like to learn about your pet beforehand to understand any specific details about them. For example, I have a dog who doesn’t like when people touch his ears, but I have another that loves it. My cat, Venus, loves to be held, but one of my old roommate’s cats, Sage, did not. General information like that. I will also send you pictures/videos of your pet while you’re away if that helps you feel comfortable.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life and have always been very hands on with their care. I currently have two golden retrievers, german shepherd and two cats have experience giving medication, especially when they were younger. I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also volunteered at a cat shelter, where I helped care for multiple cats at once, including feeding, cleaning, and socializing them. This helped me become patient, attentive, and confident handling different personalities. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like my own. I’m nurturing, responsible, and very attentive to detail. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that seriously. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have dogs and cats of my own. I’m used to feeding on schedule, going on walks, cleaning up after them, giving medication when needed, and making sure they get attention and playtime every day. Taking care of animals isn’t something I “fit in” it’s already a natural part of my life. Safety is my top priority. In my home, I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and in a calm, clean environment. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to behavior changes. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions exactly as given. I stick to the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also provide updates so owners feel reassured and connected.
“Mackenzie was WONDERFUL!! Great communication, my dogs seem to love her, and she left my house in fantastic condition ( she stayed over 3 nights ). I’m so happy to have found her, we will definitely use her again ❤️”
About: I’ve had pets by my side since I was 10 years old. Growing up with a Poodle taught me the ins and outs of high-intelligence breeds, grooming needs, and maintaining consistent routines. I am are also lucky enough to live right next to a dog park, making it incredibly easy to ensure your pup gets their daily dose of socialization and high-energy exercise. On the weekends, I am fully available for long walks and extra playtime. Whether your dog needs a quiet co-pilot while we work or an active weekend adventure, I’ve got them covered! I live in a closed, gated apartment complex with restricted entry, ensuring a safe and private environment for your pet during their stay. My neighborhood is notably quiet, making it an ideal "zen" space for anxious dogs or pets who prefer a calm, distraction-free environment.
About: I’ve grown up with a dog in my house all mice, a German Shepard named sable, a Labrador named Jake, and currently a pitbull/blue healer named colt who were and are all amazing dogs. I’m always the one to take care of both my sisters dogs and house sit for them as much as I can. I also take care of my best friends dogs and cats whenever they need. I have taken care of other animals privately as well with mainly medium size and small dogs. Dogs have needs whether it’s vet and treatment related or simply walking/play time to expel that explosive energy and I personally love being active as much as I can. Dogs tend to love me and are comfortable with me and I genuinely love taking care of them; they bring a lot of peace and comfort myself too. I’m currently working full time but my days are set so my days off that I’m available are Sunday, Monday, and Fridays. Saturdays I’m available after 2pm and all other days after 6pm. Whatever you need I can provide as much attentive care to your dogs and cats. I am familiar with set diets and exercise as well as stressed and/or hyper active dogs or cats. Let me know what they need and I’ll provide the environment and care!
About: Growing up with dogs and cats has taught me to appreciate their love and return it even better! I'm good at walking and playing! I can take good care of senior pups and kitties! I am currently in college, but I have open time every day! I can remain devoted and attentive to your pets when they'd like it!! I can make sure that all pets in my care will be safe at all times, with a watchful eye on them at every moment
About: I'm a total animal person with a flexible schedule, meaning your pets get my full, undivided attention instead of me rushing back and forth from another job. I've grown up around dogs and treat every pet like my own. Because I currently have an open schedule, I can spend maximum time hanging out, playing, and keeping your pets company. Since I have a completely open schedule right now, I can give your pets all of my time, attention, and care. Whether they need plenty of daytime company, lots of backyard play, or just a relaxing buddy to hang out with while you're away, I'm fully dedicated to making sure they feel right at home. When I'm hanging out at your place, your pets' comfort and routine come first. I always stick to their usual feeding and potty schedules, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and belly rubs. My goal is just to keep them happy, relaxed, and feeling safe while you're away!
About: I hold a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Technology and am currently employed as a full-time vet tech. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I've always enjoyed caring for them. Additionally, I gained valuable experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I currently work as a full-time veterinary technician. Although I am currently employed I can still be extremely flexible if need be with enough time beforehand to plan! I have a fenced-in yard for my fur baby. Your pet will have plenty of places to roam and play. My personal dog roams around the house freely, but can be crated if needed.
“Melissa was very attentive to Yogi's needs and I could tell that they built a bond over the two plus days I was gone. I was happy too get pics and updates of my boy when I was out of town. I would definitely use Melissa's services again. It looks like Yogi has a new buddy!”
“Bridget was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my dog. She sent me pictures throughout the weekend to let me know how my sweet girl was doing! I will definitely be a repeat customer for Bridget! My Bailey girl can't wait for her to come back.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s age, temperament, and routine. I have experience with puppies who need structure, patience, and positive reinforcement, including basic training support like leash manners, potty routines, and crate comfort. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, with scheduled walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and attentive check-ins built around my 3:30pm daily and weekly commitments I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing feeding, walks, play, training reinforcement, medication if needed, and a safe, calm environment in my home or yours.
“My pup Ted couldn't have had a better time hanging with Maddie. We can't recommend her enough! Trusting, reliable, and so caring of our Ted. You can tell Maddie absolutely loves animals. Highly recommend!!”
“Rose was fantastic with our dog and cat. She stayed in our home. She sent beautiful daily photo updates and keep us informed on the daily basis. She followed the feeding schedule and instructions. We felt at peace during our trip We are so grateful to get to meet her. We will definitely book them again!! Thank you:)”
About: Having cared for pets for 25 years, I understand the importance of providing not just care, but companionship and trust. My experience has taught me how to offer gentle, personalized attention, especially for senior pets. I focus on making them feel comfortable and secure in their own space, offering them the love and care they need. Whether it's providing companionship or light exercise, I ensure their well-being is always the priority. Your pet will receive the same love and respect as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I believe in providing consistent, loving attention to every animal. Each day, I make sure they are fed on schedule, comfortable, and happy. I also spend quality time with them through play, walks, or simply offering companionship. Weekly, I focus on any additional tasks needed to maintain a safe and healthy environment. Caring for pets is a rewarding part of my routine that I always prioritize. I believe in providing pets with a loving and caring environment. I make sure they’re comfortable, fed on time, and have plenty of attention throughout the day. I offer daily playtime, walks, or cuddle sessions depending on the pet’s needs. I also ensure their living space is kept clean and hygienic. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely and provide the same loving care and attention, making sure the pet feels secure and happy while their owners are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunrise
What an excellent experience, Sean is caring, attentive and most importantly loving to our two Frenchies. While he was taking care of our puppies in our home, the two had zero anxiety and knew they were safe with him. Honestly, we both could not give him higher praise. When we got home, a little over a week of being away, they were happy to see us but had a calmness we’ve rarely seen. Sean walked them a couple of times a day which allowed them to get out of our apartment and see the outside world. What we noticed when we returned, they both were easier to walk and building on the calmness we found they were also calm around other dogs on our walks. We think Sean went beyond that of a dog sitter, not only did he do a great job taking care of them, he helped them mature in ways we have been trying to achieve for years. Thank you Sean, we look forward to the next time we have to leave the puppies at home with you! Greg (Pubert and Frankie!)
First time using Rover and could not have made a better choice by finding Rosa. She was beyond wonderful, felt very comfortable having Rosa stay in our home and care for our dogs. Came home to a clean home and happy pups, they miss her already. Highly recommend and will be booking again for all future travels! A+++
Nydia responded promptly to my request for dog sitting. She came to meet us right away for a meet and greet . We discussed a schedule and and went over pancakes routines. She came every time she promised she would sent lots of pictures. She put my mind at ease knowing my pancakes was being taking care of well we were out of town. I will be scheduling her again for my next trip out of town.
Stephanie watched on senior german shepherd while we went on vacation this summer. Her care of Leo was nothing short of 5 stars. Her thoughtfulness through her stay and beyond is what truly makes her stand out. Would absolutely have her watch Leo again. He is family and it is so important for us to trust who we leave him with. Happy to say we’ve found just the right person.
Lexie was very kind and willing to help us on short notice during an unexpected family emergency, and I really appreciated her flexibility. There were a couple of times when I needed to provide reminders about their established routines, particularly the dogs’ potty schedule, so they didn’t have to go long periods between breaks. However, everything ultimately worked out. My senior dog also has additional medical needs, and she was consistent about making sure he received his medication every morning and night which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She also sent update photos which was appreciated. Overall, I’m grateful she was able to help us during a very challenging week. Thank you, Lexie!

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 Sunrise 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 Sunrise 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 Sunrise 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.
