“Delaney was great. My dog is not the easiest to take care of and Delaney took care of her with great patience. Sent regular updates and pictures as well. Would recommend her to anybody in need of a dog sitter”
About: I have extensive experience working with high-drive, medium-to-large breeds, including Labradors, American Bulldogs, German Shepherds, and Pit Bulls. Through my volunteer work at the Miami-Dade and Medley shelters, I organize and facilitate "pawventures,” giving dogs opportunities for enrichment and socialization. I also collaborate with rescue organizations and foster families, helping coordinate support and identify suitable homes. I am committed to advocating for animals in need and working toward permanent placements where they can thrive. I spend at least 25 hours a week volunteering. I can promise the pets will be well taken care of, so you won't have to worry. I'm a vet tech and a mom to one human and three pups. My place has plenty of room, a secure fenced-in balcony, and easy access to the complex's dog park. I keep the dogs' feeding areas separate. I'm also experienced with transport and getting them to safe spots, so I'll make sure they’re well looked after.
“Pamela is absolutely amazing! I loved that she kept us updated about the dogs and sent pictures. It alleviates my anxieties of being out of town. She was very kind to our dogs and went above and beyond. 100% recommend!”
“Francesca was absolutely perfect! Nit only was she exactly on time, she was flexible as our plans changed a few times. Our dogs loved her and she was great with them!! We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!!”
“We have used other sitters but by far John is THE BEST! He came by our house 1st and spent time getting to meet our cat and dog. He made us feel so comfortable. Excellent communication and pictures. Our girl always looked like she was smiling in all the pics. The house was perfect. He is certainly a keeper! Highly recommend him.”

“Anna was absolutely wonderful. she was extremely responsible and loving to my dog and cat. They adored her! There was a lot for her to do. My dog has quite a few medications to take. Anna followed all the directions and gave all the meds correctly. She was very sweet and kind to the animals and she was very patient with me. Anna always sent us photos and videos of our pets. We truly trusted her and did not worry about our pets. my husband and I highly recommend her. your fur babies will be quite safe and cared for by Anna.”
“Sarah is wonderful. She swooped in and saved me from a pet sitting situation gone wrong while I was out of state. Sarah cared for and loved on my fur babies as if they were her own and was respectful of my home. She is reliable and trustworthy, kind and caring, responsive and responsible. I will definitely be asking Sarah to pet/house sit again”

I'm active and reliable, so your pup gets a real walk, not a rushed lap around the block. I'll treat your dog the way I treat mine, and keep you updated with photos so you never have to wonder how the walk went. work a part-time schedule that leaves my Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays completely open, so I'm available around the clock on those days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting.

I have five years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for senior dogs who need extra attention and assistance with medication, physical therapy, and companionship.

The average cost of House Sitting in Sunshine Acres is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night. 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.

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 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
