“Anthony did amazing with drop-in visits for my bunny. Despite being new to caring for a bunny, he didn’t bat an eye to accept a request and help care for her over the holidays. He was super attentive to the unique care she needed. He is trustworthy, communicative, and punctual. He will be my go-to from now on for any pet needs in the future!”

About: I grew up caring for family cats, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats. Recently, I provided daily care for a French Bulldog for 3 months, taking him on twice-daily weekday walks and potty breaks. I am naturally attentive, gentle, and dedicated to keeping your pets safe and happy. I have a very flexible schedule that easily accommodates your pet’s routine, especially Thursday through Monday from 1:00 PM onward. While my availability is highest on these days, I am always happy to discuss fitting in visits that work for you. Please note that I am unavailable during major holidays. I prioritize safety, comfort, and direct communication. When caring for pets at the client’s home, I ensure all doors and gates are fully secured and closely follow your routine. During walks, I stay vigilant of surroundings, keep dogs on a secure leash, and clean up thoroughly. I also provide regular photo updates after every visit so you can have complete peace of mind.

“Aliia was absolutely amazing watching our cats, Winston and Hobie! She was so sweet and kind, kept us updated while we were away, and did an excellent job following all of the instructions we left for their care. It was really nice seeing how happy and comfortable Winston and Hobie were with her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were gone. Aliia is extremely trustworthy, reliable, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We would 100% use Aliia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home. Thank you so much, Aliia, for taking such great care of our boys!! ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Surfside
This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Irina took incredible care of my babies (2 cats) while I was out of town. She made sure they were fed on time, played with, and kept their litter box clean. She sent me pictures every day that gave me the peace of mind to know they were in good hands while I was away. I will absolutely love to work with Irina again!!
Jessica is one of thee BEST pet sitters I have ever had! For real! 😃 She goes above & beyond to make your pets feel comfortable and happy. My 2 cats instantly loved her when she walked in the room and approached her. She has a wonderful personality, a calming sweet aura, and just so kind. I will absolutely hire her again whenever I go on a trip home. My cats look so happy 😀 in all the photos n vids she has sent!

Marianna was absolutely wonderful with Thor. She was communicative, sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, and clearly went above and beyond — even navigating flooding from a storm to make sure she got to him on time. She noticed small details, like mixing his leftovers with fresh food and topping off his water fountain, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time I was away. Thor was clearly relaxed and well cared for by the end of the trip. I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family.

Any is amazing!!! She took such great care of our two cats and managed to administer the medicine like a champ to one of them. She was always sending us videos and photos so we could see how well they were doing. Any, thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our cats!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Surfside is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $33 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 6,864 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Surfside. 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 Surfside. 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.
