“Mia was a phenomenal sitter for my two pups! We recently moved from Dallas to Miami, and I was nervous to leave them, but Mia was quick to step in and love on them. She sent photos and/or videos every day while I was away, which put my heart at ease. By the time I returned home, they were great friends! I will absolutely be partnering with Mia again!”
“Sam sent a note that she would be early to our place which demonstrated a facet of her exceptional communication skills. She is an excellent listener as my wife and I provided an overview and asked the right questions to get the right answers. Sam bonded extremely sell with Athena, playing on the terrace, taking her out for breaks and relaxing on the couch! Sam will be supporting overnights for us during an upcoming trip. Highly recommend Sam to help take excellent care of your dog!”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Growing up, I cared for two family dogs, including senior dogs who required extra patience and attention. I also helped train my sibling’s puppy, teaching basic commands like sit and lay down, as well as successful potty training. In addition, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs, including a pit bull, making sure she was well-exercised with daily walks, playtime, and plenty of healthy treats. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own—providing love, structure, and lots of fun. I am in school full time. I am available every day Please let me know what days are needed in advance for house sitting or visits. I watch over the pet the whole time and ensure their safety. It’s important to me that while I’m with them, they have exercise and eat their food
About: From raising and bottle-feeding kittens to training and walking high-energy dog breeds (uncertified training for the joy of it) to cleaning horse stalls, I know that pet care takes careful, loving work! Whether you need someone just to be attentive and in the same space as your low-energy pet, long walks and lots of play for your high-energy pet, or high communication, special care for a higher- needs pet, I am ready to meet you and your pet’s needs. I am currently in between my college studies and a job in the fall, so I have very open availability! I am a classical musician, so I may have some weekend nights that I am out performing or rehearsing for a few hours, but I am willing to discuss and meet your time and care needs for your pet(s). I would like to care for your pets as closely to the same way that you do, so it is helpful to know routines for your pet, such as getting a treat after using the potty, eating schedule, walk schedule, amount of cuddles/play time they typically enjoy, crating/no-crating, etc. I will be available for as much communication as you would like while I care for your pet(s) and love sending you cute pics of your pet!
“Autumn was absolutely amazing with your senior Siberian Husky. This was our first time using rover so we were a little nervous but Autumn went out of her way to make us comfortable. She met with us ahead of time and again before we left. She sent us daily updates, pics and videos. Our dog had some digestive issues and she took great cafe of all of it without hesitation! She left our home absolutely spotless. I would highly highly recommend Autumn.”
“David did AMAZING with Adora. He actually listened to my concerns and followed all the instructions for caring for a foster animal. He was extremely patient with her and walked her multiple times throughout the house, sitting (which I appreciated the most). Adora really needs as many walks as possible! Lastly, he happily obliged a last-minute request to stay overnight (during a holiday weekend, mind you) and did so seamlessly, without any miscommunication or issues. I HIGHLY recommend David, he is incredible!”
“Azucena (Zu) took such great care of Titi over the weekend! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Titi was in good hands. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and showed so much love and attention to Titi, especially important since she’s a senior dog. We could tell Titi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Zu went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated her communication and kindness. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. Thank you so much, Zu! ❤️”
““When one door closes, another one opens.” Andreina and Mercedes are caring, gentle, supportive, flexible and great communicators. From the beginning, I could tell Andreina was going to put me at ease, as she took notes while we were doing our meet and greet, as not to forget any care instructions regarding Megan and Saber. During the five days while we were away, we were spoiled with countless photos and videos of our doggies, as well as detailed updates regarding their well-being. They received packages and mail for us, disabled a smoke alarm that had a low battery, and cleaned up a small flood that had occurred. They went above and beyond their usual call of duty, and expressed great kindness and communication during the entire five days. I’ve never come home to actual printed out photos of our dogs, attached with a little love note expressing their appreciation for being able to care for Megan and Saber. The fact that Andreina and her mom come as a duo, made us feel extra supported, and that our four-legged children, as well as our entire home, were taken care of. We will absolutely invite them again and are so grateful for this positive experience!”
“Anna is so sweet and was so good with Maisie, sending updates and following her regular routine. she also took great care of our house - we came home to everything clean & tidy and Maisie loved her, we would definitely have Anna watch our dog again!”
About: I grew up with animals, but since I moved to Miami I’ve been fostering and caring for shelter dogs. I have experience in dogs of all ages and sizes- especially seniors. I have enough treats and toys for a puptastic time! I currently am a biology pre-vet student who studies from home and loves to spend time with animals. I am happy to accommodate to any certain needs! I offer respect for the animals and the owners, with love and understanding. I treat the animal like they are my own, giving any additional care needed. My goal is to make the owner and the pet the most calm and relaxed in each situation.

“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my Rover booking on very short notice, just a few days before the service, which immediately gave me so much relief. From the start, she was communicative, professional, trustworthy, and incredibly reliable. She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when I returned home. It was obvious they felt comfortable with her, and they warmed up to her right away — which says everything. Not only were my dogs happy, but my home was also left very tidy and well cared for. Stephanie truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Marcela has been great - always there when I need her, knowledgeable and capable of handling dogs, and very responsive. She listens and is respectful, grateful, and flexible. Thank you 🙏”
“First time using Tiffany for pet sitting and she was absolutely amazing with Stormy and went above and beyond in every way. She came over throughout the day to feed him, walk him, and spend real time with him…not just check in quickly and leave. She even took him out with her for a bit to keep him busy and give him extra attention outside of his regular walks, which meant so much to me. She sent updates all day, gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear Stormy was comfortable, cared for, and in great hands. I really appreciated the extra time, attention, and communication. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring.”
About: Hi! My name is Alana, and while this is my first Rover profile, I’ve actually been pet sitting through my family’s Rover account for the past five years. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they love long walks, playing fetch, curling up for cuddles, or just having someone nearby to keep them company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry baby, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I’m currently a university student in Miami, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. I receive my class schedule well in advance each semester, allowing me to plan my availability and fully commit to the pets in my care. Most of my classes are only a few times a week and aren’t all-day commitments, so I have plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care. Outside of class, my schedule is very open, and I make it a priority to give every pet the time, attention, and love they deserve. If you have specific scheduling needs, I’m always happy to communicate and do my best to accommodate them! For the past five years, I’ve helped care for pets through my family’s Rover account, where we’ve always focused on providing a calm, safe, and personalized experience. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make it a priority to follow every instruction exactly as provided from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and any house rules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I know how important trust is, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and companionship. Whether we’re playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing together, I make sure they’re never left feeling ignored or lonely. My priority is always to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for until you return.
“Natalia cared for Megan and Saber like they were her own. She sent photos and videos daily which is important for us. This was our first time using Natalia to care for our babes and we will continue to use her services because she went above and beyond what was asked. After two weeks of being away, we are happy to be home and find our two greyhounds happy and peaceful. Five stars all around.”
About: My hands-on experience as a former dog rescuer and PetSmart employee sets me apart. Being a dog rescuer has given me the skills to confidently care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During my time as a rescuer, I learned not only how to feed them and play with them, but also administer medicine and bathe them when necessary. As a pet care associate and cashier at PetSmart, I worked with multiple types of dogs and their pet parents to ensure they would get the best products and services. Because of my dedication to the well-being of dogs at PetSmart, I was offered an opportunity to be trained for a dog trainer position, but I had to reject it since I was moving out of state for college. Now, I’m back in Miami and ready to make your dog feel at home, even if you’re away. I’m a college student currently in Miami for summer and on a really flexible schedule, so I’m willing to dedicate lots of time to your dog. I will adapt to your dog’s necessities, whether they need going on long walks and playing at the park, or cuddles and quiet time. I believe that dogs are important members of the family and deserve to be treated as such.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sweetwater
We left our 1 year old dog with autumn for 15 days while we traveled abroad. We have only had our dog for a couple months, so she’s still in training. Autumn kept up the training while we were away which we really appreciated. She communicated with us every day, and it really helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our girl was safe with Autumn. We came back to a clean home & a happy dog which is all we can ask for!
Natalie was so great! We did a couple meet and greets as one of my babies is a little wary of new people. She was so patient and a dog whisper. Both my dogs took to her so fast. She was extremely communicative during our trip and sent lots of photos. She followed all our instructions perfectly and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. We would love to have her house sit for them again in the future
Amanda was amazing once again. She accepted a last-minute weekend request and took such great care of our two dogs. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and since this was her second time staying with them, they were clearly excited to see her again. What made this stay extra special was the personal touch—she left us a handwritten note and even an embroidered patch featuring both dogs. It was such a thoughtful surprise. We truly feel at ease knowing Amanda is with them, and we can’t wait to have her back again. Highly recommend!
I’m so grateful to Patty for stepping in last minute to house sit and take care of my American Bulldog, Pepper. She had boarded Pepper before, but this time I felt it would be better for Pepper to stay in her own home to avoid separation anxiety. Having someone she already knew and loved made all the difference. Patty was absolutely the right choice. I came home to a happy dog and a clean, well-cared-for home. It was such a relief to know everything was in good hands while I was away for work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Patty to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. She truly goes above and beyond.
Marcela was amazing with Vinny! So professional and helpful. After showing her around we left her with Vinny and she went above and beyond. She took him out multiple times, fed him, hung out on the couch with him and sent us pictures and updates throughout. We will definitely be working with Marcela again if she’ll have us!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sweetwater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sweetwater on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,535 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sweetwater. 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 Sweetwater 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 Sweetwater 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 Sweetwater 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 Sweetwater. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
