“Aniele did a great job taking care of our 2 very shy cats. She dropped by twice a day and kept them healthy, clean and fed! And did not stress them out, giving them their space (they are very skittish and afraid of strangers). We will definitely reach out to Aniele again next time we need to travel.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, especially senior pups who need extra patience, gentleness, and love. Growing up, I had two senior dogs, a 17 year old Poodle and a 15 year old Shih Tzu, so I’m very familiar with caring for older dogs, understanding their routines, and recognizing when they need a little extra support or comfort. I currently have a one-year-old Shih Tzu who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, so I’m experienced with both young, energetic dogs and calmer, older companions. I truly treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work full-time but only three days a week, which gives me great flexibility for drop ins, walks, and house sitting. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow your dog’s specific routine, whether that means quiet walks, playtime, medication schedules, or just extra cuddles. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority, and I would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby 💕 I work three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re busy or away. My home is calm and pet-friendly, and my dog Momo provides gentle companionship for dogs who enjoy being around other pets and friendly playtime together.

About: I've been caring for my own dog for the past 14 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a dog's life—from a playful puppy to a senior companion. Over the years, I've handled daily walks, feeding, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, administering medications when needed, and making sure my dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As a teenager, I also walked dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, which helped me become comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and walking styles. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I'll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own 14-year-old dog every day, making time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love and attention. Because caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, I'm happy to fit additional walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting into my schedule. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I always make it a priority to be dependable and ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care their pet requires. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment while you're away. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean and secure and providing updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and loved until you return home!

About: Ever since a child, we always had all sorts of pets from dogs and cats to parrots, chinchillas, ferrets, and even a potbelly pig. Knowing your pets different personalities, knowing when they need cuddles, or their space... making sure they're comfy, eating their food, and even pooping. I've had a diabetic dog to care for before, (aside being in healthcare) being able to administer medications has come in handy. Although I do have a full time job... I've realized while pet/geyser sitting for friends and family this is something I can do after work. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed... if they are trained with a doggy door, they will have access to a fenced yard.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I had the privilege of loving and caring for my own dog for 15 years, which taught me the importance of patience, routine, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, daycare, overnight care, or a safe place to stay while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I'll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and affection. My schedule is flexible, making it easier to accommodate your needs, and my home is currently pet-free, allowing me to provide your pet with a calm environment and my full, individualized attention. My goal is to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners by providing dependable care, clear communication, and regular photo updates so you always know your furry friend is happy and in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I'm committed to being a dependable and trustworthy caregiver for your furry family member. My schedule is flexible throughout the week and on weekends, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs whenever possible. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, or care while you're away, I'll do my best to provide reliable, loving care that gives you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I currently do not have any pets at home, which allows me to give your furry friend my full attention in a calm and focused environment. I also have a backyard space available for safe outdoor time and play. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

About: With years of hands-on experience and three dogs of my own over the years, a Chihuahua, a Pit Bull, and a Staffordshire Bulldog mix, I've developed a deep appreciation for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. From small, spirited companions to strong, affectionate breeds, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing patient, attentive care. As a devoted dog parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you're away. I treat every dog in my care with the same kindness, patience, and attention I give my own. As a dog parent myself, caring for their rhythm has been a natural part of my daily life! I'm accustomed to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I'm happy to coordinate care around your pet's established routine and communicate availability in advance to ensure a comfortable, stress-free experience for everyone. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and respecting each dog's individual needs given my experience with different breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. When caring for pets in their own home, I make every effort to maintain their familiar routines, follow feeding and care instructions closely, and create a calm, loving environment. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, energy, and comfort, and believe in keeping pet parents informed with regular updates and photos. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and consideration I give my own.

She did an amazing job. We booked her because our normal sitters were out of town. She came over to meet the dogs prior to our trip to get acquainted with them which put out minds totally at ease. She was on time for all visits and followed all of my instructions. She communicated constantly during her visits and even offered to extra duties for our pups which was so thoughtful. I would definitely book her again.

This was my first time with Meagan and I couldn’t be happier with the great care she provided for my cat Gus, especially when he was reluctant to meet her during the first few days. She patiently gave him the time and space he needed to get to know her and made sure that all of his needs were met. Her daily texts and pics were also so reassuring to me while I was away! I will definitely reach out to Meagan again for any future cat sitting needs for Gus!

Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my cats. Her updates were thorough and detailed without being overwhelming, and I always felt like I had a good sense of how they were doing while we were away. She was especially wonderful with my shy cat, who is usually very hesitant around new people. She was patient, let him come to her on his own terms, and earned his trust surprisingly quickly. The funniest part is that when getting home after several days away, the cats barely seemed annoyed with my absence. Normally I'd get some dramatic complaints for abandoning them, but they seemed happy and content, which I think is the best indication of how comfortable and cared for they felt while I was gone. I'd absolutely book with her again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sunrise

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sunrise is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 7,335 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunrise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunrise. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.

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.
