About: My top priority is making sure your pets feel like they’re on their own fun vacation while you’re away! I treat every single animal in my care as if they were my own—giving them endless love, personalized attention, and a safe, joyful environment where they can relax and play. With extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals—alongside a background in veterinary care environments—I bring both dedicated affection and a high level of health and safety knowledge to every visit. Whether you have energetic companions, a multi-pet household, or farm animals needing reliable routine care, I adapt seamlessly to your exact setup. I am fully comfortable managing specialized medical needs, including administering oral medications, topical treatments, and following strict health schedules. If you have an older or special-needs pet, I provide gentle handling, mobility support, and attentive monitoring to keep them comfortable, calm, and happy. You can expect complete peace of mind, clear communication, and frequent photo updates showing just how much fun and affection your pets are receiving! Flexible Daily Schedule & Work-From-Home Availability Because I own and run my own business from home, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Being home during the day means your pets won't be left alone for long stretches—I am always around to take dogs out for frequent potty breaks, give cats plenty of mid-day love and attention, or tend to whatever routine needs your animals have. My open schedule allows me to easily stick to your pet's exact feeding and exercise times, giving them constant companionship and giving you complete peace of mind. Safe Yard, Active Walks & Secure Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my highest priorities. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run around, play fetch, and safely stretch their legs. In addition to play time in the yard, I love keeping dogs active and engaged with regular, leisurely walks around the neighborhood, always tailored to their energy level and leash habits. Whether we’re enjoying structured outdoor walks or relaxing safely in the yard, your pets are always closely supervised to ensure a fun, secure, and stress-free experience.

About: I've helped and trained animals for years for the Humane Society, Broward County Animal Care, and other rescue groups. I live on a farm with a lot space. I have experience working with large breeds like mastiffs, great danes, and rottweilers, and small breeds too. I also administer medical treatment - shots, bandaging, pills, insulin, temperature checks and respond to emergencies like bloat. I work full time at home on my computer and I pay attention and exercise the dogs throughout the day. I will play their favorite games and try to get their energy out. I remain open to communication and pet intakes all day even when working. I can respond to text based communication mostly immediately. I do have occasional meetings and in that case I would respond to a call with a text message or email instead. I live on a farm with lots of fenced in space for dogs to run around and explore. If you look at the first picture, the property extends well past the first fence. There is a long trail back there. Dogs will be walked the number of times you ask for but no less than three times a day, fed twice a day, given continuous water unless they're on a water schedule. For boarding in my home: your dogs will get their own room with their beds, toys, bowls, and everything that makes them comfortable. They will get attention throughout the day and go out to exercise. I watch from one Rover family at a time. I keep your dogs completely separated from my own dogs. The horses stay across the fence and the dogs enjoy meeting them. Keeping your dogs separate is the safest approach to dog boarding and works well for almost every dog. For dogs with severe separation anxiety, please ask about my in-home dog sitting service. If your dog is well socialized you might consider other dog sitters who put unknown dogs together. It's risky but it can help with separation anxiety. For services in your home: I will look after your pets and your home. I can bring in mail, water plants, adjust the thermostat, etc.

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: Hi, I’m Danya! If you’re looking for someone who understands that your pet isn't just an animal, but a cherished member of your family, you’ve found the right match. :) With years of hands-on experience, I treat your pet's time with me as a specialized staycation, turning your absence into a relaxing, high-quality vacation tailored entirely to their comfort. Whether I am caring for dogs, cats, birds, or bunnies, my goal is to blend your exact daily routine with a premium level of attention that keeps them happy and stress-free. For dogs, their staycation includes maintaining their familiar walking structures and routines to keep them active and content. Cats enjoy a peaceful, pampering routine where fresh food and water bowls are constantly maintained, litter boxes are kept pristine, and they receive patient, one-on-one interaction on their own terms. My versatile care also extends to specialized pets; I am well-versed in providing a calm, clean oasis and precise dietary handling for birds, too! By focusing on total comfort and detail-oriented care, I ensure your pets are living their best lives at home while you enjoy your time away. As a student, my academic calendar is set well in advance, my availability is steady, predictable, and highly dependable. I manage my time meticulously to ensure that school never interferes with the explicit promises, time slots, and routines we set for your fur baby! Inviting someone into your private space requires an immense amount of trust. Because I value that trust, my goal is to leave both your pet and your home in pristine condition. When I perform drop-in visits or walks, I treat your property with the same high level of care and respect that I give to your fur baby.

About: Hello friends my name is Manuel and I’m a Chef by profession and I have an absolute passion for animals, I know how to connect easily with them,with a lot of love and patience. Ever since I was a child I was surrounded by them and I have learned to connect with dogs on a deeper level and provide them with their daily needs. I have a dog Joey and he is my spoiled one. He is a Maltese mix that I adopted 8 years ago since then i have given him the best life possible. I work every day as a chef except in the morning when I dedicate myself to taking care of animals from 6 in the morning until 1 in the afternoon. I am normally very flexible with my schedule and willing to work out anything to help out with your pets. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I work every day starting at 2pm but in the mornings I am free from 6 in the morning until 1 and I am flexible with my schedule if you need me. I take pet care very seriously and am willing to work out anything for your furry friends. When I arrive at the pet's house, I see all the necessary conditions for the animal to feel safe and lack nothing: water, food, peeing and pooping. If needed on walks, I would make sure your pet is feeling comfortable on their walk and happy.

I cannot recommend Richard enough. We are going through a tough time with our baby girl Missy who is a special needs dog that more recently has become immobile. Richard went above and beyond to provide her top notch care while we were out of town for the weekend. Richard helped her with the bathroom, administered medication, and took great care feeding her.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sunshine Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sunshine Acres is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 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 6,994 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunshine Acres. 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 Sunshine Acres. 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.
