Frederick stayed at our house to watch my senior Doberman over the Fourth of July weekend. My dog has mobility issues, anxiety, needs frequent potty breaks, and requires a lot of hands-on care. The love, patience, and affection Frederick showed him went far beyond our expectations and anything we've experienced with previous pet sitters. Frederick was always quick to respond, very respectful, and followed all of our instructions carefully, including giving multiple medications. He also took great care of our home and left everything clean and tidy. I honestly can't recommend Frederick enough. Knowing my dog was so well cared for gave us so much peace of mind, and I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay with him again.

About: I’ve had several dogs as I grew up. Pitbulls mostly. I love playing, walking, talking and being around dogs. I know what to do and what not to do when it comes to dogs. It fits into my routine because everyday I walk my dog missy around our neighborhood. I feed her around a certain time, give the food time to digest then take her for a walk let her get everything out her system and let her enjoy leaving her scent and seeing the other dogs in our neighborhood. I have a fence/gate around my house in case a clients pet isn’t friendly or good around other animals. I have a personal area that their pet can be able to enjoy.

Wow! We were completely impressed with the level of care and attention our puppy received this weekend from Erika. Erika had our five month old puppy out and about daily. They took walks, went to the beach, visited the dog park, and ran around the neighborhood. I absolutely love how Erika focused on socializing our puppy and giving her new experiences. Every day Erika sent a number of pictures that let us know she was in great hands. It was clear our puppy didn’t want Erika to leave when we got home. We will absolutely book Erika in the future. Thank you!!

About: I’ve been an animal person my whole life, from growing up with cats and dogs to hamsters and even iguanas! I also spent a year working at a veterinary emergency clinic, so I’m comfortable staying calm when pets need extra care or attention. I’ve provided senior care for both pets and people, and I especially love giving older animals the patience, TLC, and slower pace they deserve. Whether your pet needs belly rubs, playtime, medication reminders, a leisurely stroll, or simply a cozy companion, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and thoroughly spoiled. As a fully remote virtual therapist, my schedule offers plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship while working from home. I have a cozy apartment that’s best suited for small dogs and cats, where pets can relax in a calm, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to house sit or care for pets in their own home, which can be especially helpful for animals who feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings. I live near the beach and love taking dogs for walks, fresh-air adventures, and trips to the dog park. Most importantly, I prioritize safety, routines, and making sure every pet feels secure, loved, and right at home.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from larger breeds like Rottweilers and Mastiffs to smaller dogs like Chihuahuas, so I’m very comfortable handling different sizes and personalities. My love for animals has always been a big part of who I am I truly believe dogs are a human’s best friend and deserve genuine care, patience, and attention. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and gentleness they may need, which is something I truly enjoy. I’ve adopted several older dogs from shelters, so I’m very familiar with the level of care, consistency, and compassion it takes to make them feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate consistent time throughout the day for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, or evening care. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in any environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routine and follow directed protocol, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care needs, so the pet feels secure and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision while keeping their space clean and safe.

Anna was amazing! I had family wedding to attend and my frenchie ended up with an eye ulcer in the weeks before. She’s with a cone and requires 4 eye meds multiple times a day. I was so nervous to leave my girl! But, Anna was organized and attentive. She sent me constant updates and she learned about my dog’s condition in order to best care for her. She left my apartment spotless. I would 100% use her again and completely trust her.

Izabella was AMAZING! WE BOOKED HER LAST MINUTE TO STAY WITH OUR TWO SMALL DOGS TO KEEP THEM COMPANY ALL DAY WHILE WE WERE OUT EXPLORING AND SHE COULDN’T HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE OF THEM! Two walks, lots of pictures and videos of them playing together kept my mind at ease when they were with someone unfamiliar. They quickly fell in love with her! I’d pay her double for her service if we are ever back in the area. Thank you again so much, Izabella!

Jodi has a great demeanor and you can tell she is super responsible. She sat my two cats for a few nights and all went smooth. There wasn’t a lot of communication and I had to make sure she got in ok and check in, but that’s fine. She let me know when she left and listed what she did on the way out. My only qualms were that the water tank in the cat water system was completely empty and the litter hadn’t been cleaned out the day she left, which were clear on my instructions. Besides that all went well. She is a very nice person and I had a comfortable meet and greet with her beforehand. I would hire her again for sure.

Elvira (Elly) was an amazing in-house cat sitter for my two girls. She sent me photos and constantly updated me on their happenings, with text and photos. She asked questions when needed and always responded promptly. My apartment was kept completely tidy and as I left it. Elly was attentive and followed directions perfectly- plus she herself has a lovely personality and was a bright and cheerful person. I will definitely hire her again and trust her with my cats.

FAQs for House Sitting - Surfside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Surfside on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,248 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Surfside. 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 Surfside 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 Surfside 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 Surfside 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.

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

  • 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.
