About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve been taking care of dogs. I am new to Rover. I am always here your dog(s). I am constantly around animals and committing myself to take care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and will adapt and learn how to best take care of your dog. When I am with your dogs I dedicate my time to being present with them. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask any questions. There’s always an answer. Chat soon! I am currently free all day, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Wednesday and Thursday I can work anytime besides 1 to 6 PM because I’ll be in class. To establish trust, I let the dogs smell me. Then I play fetch with them to understand a bit more about them. To ensure safety at my clients home, I always go in the backyard with the dog, watch them, play with them and make sure everything is going smoothly.

About: I've been taking care of animals of all kinds for as long as I remember. Friends and family know they can rely on me to help out when it comes to animals in need. I'm currently working part-time with a flexible schedule so I can be there whenever to lend a helping hand. I don't mind a drive either. I have a friendly pup to keep yours company and follow instructions if need be. I've taken care of pets all ages and sizes and never refuse a challenge.
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life, whether is was a neighbor, friend, or friend of a friend. I am very reliable and love all types of animals! I am a professional athlete so my mornings I’m busy at work and free after noon! I love spending time with animals- whether it’s walking your dog, pet sitting while you’re away, or just dropping in to spend time with them. I’m very intentional with my time and love getting to know all different types of pets! I am a very reliable pet sitter and find it very important to build trust with your baby! I grew up with dogs and cats so I know my way around feeding, grooming, walking, kenneling, and more. I’m also very flexible so if it’s an overnight stay, a drop in, or a walk- I’m your girl! I also love sending updates and communicating what we’re up to so you know your pet is in good hands!
About: I fell in love with cats at a very early age and aspire to own an animal sanctuary one day!! I adopted my 1st cutie pawtooties back in 2008. He taught me what love bites were, patience, and the meaning of unspoken love/trust! We adopted our 2 boys with so much purrsonality back in 2021 and wowzer meowzer they're entertaining!!! I recently volunteered as a care cuddler at a pet rescue for 3 months, and what a rewarding experience!!! I've also fostered several pets (cat, rabbit and pitbull) some were left behind by neighbors :( As a customer success manager and South Florida Realtor, building relationships and trust is everything. I'm here to help and care for pets with purrsonality! Safety is my top priority and respecting boundaries is everything. My cats have always been indoor cat that are all up to date on their shots.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sunshine Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sunshine Acres on Rover is $37.31 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,392 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sunshine Acres. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Sunshine Acres 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 Sunshine Acres 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 Sunshine Acres 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
