“Nydia responded promptly to my request for dog sitting. She came to meet us right away for a meet and greet . We discussed a schedule and and went over pancakes routines. She came every time she promised she would sent lots of pictures. She put my mind at ease knowing my pancakes was being taking care of well we were out of town. I will be scheduling her again for my next trip out of town.”
“Shaneka was great with my cats! Very patient and understanding when Maizzy took a bit to warm up to her and eat! The house was very tidy and litter cleaned when we got home which was nice. Shaneka followed all instructions and made sure Theos had his meds every morning. I didn't worry at all and will definitely have her sit for us again! I highly recommend Shaneka, reliable, trustworthy, punctual and great with the cats!”
“Rose is a wonderful and trustworthy young lady. She was gentle and sensitive to my Lollipop’s needs and routines. We texted daily and provided pictures of their walks. Our final communication( she left my house before I came home), Rose left me a beautiful note summing up her day with Lolli. Besides all that… she left me with a clean and organized home; I greatly appreciated that! I certainly will be calling on her again!!”
“I’m what they would call a helicopter parent. It’s very hard to for me to leave my dog with anyone because his anxiety is really bad. Larissa did a fantastic job! She must us feel so comfortable with constant updates, pictures and more. We will definitely be rehiring her!”
“Marissa took wonderful care of our house and three dogs. The house was clean when we returned, communication was great throughout the stay, and it was obvious our dogs were well cared for and loved on while we were away. We came home to happy pups and total peace of mind. I have already booked her again!”
“Justin was great! He watched our two boys on back to back weekends. He was a great communicator and kept us updated and threw in some cute pictures too! Seemed liked our boys were comfortable with him and as a pet parent that is all we could ask for!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for all kinds big, small, shy, and super energetic! I’ve helped friends and family with dog sitting, walks, feedings, and giving meds when needed. What sets me apart is my patience, genuine love for dogs, and attention to detail whether that’s sticking to their routine, keeping their space clean, or making sure they get all the belly rubs and playtime they want.

“Mafalda was such a wonderful pet sitter for our 11 month old Havapoo! She was punctual and very communicative from the moment we booked up until the appointment day. We look forward to future bookings with Mafalda!”
About: I’ve taken care of friend’s and family’s pets by feeding, walking, playing, and putting them to bed.

I’m available from 7 am-10 pm currently. In august I will be available from 1 pm-10 pm. All I need is a two hour notice beforehand! I will listen to your pet’s cues and give them space or care.

“Shella is wonderful! She took great care of our home and fur babies while we were on vacation! She gave daily updates and plenty of park time for our dog. You can tell she really loves animals. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Bridget took great care of my Zorro for the weekend. I appreciated the great communication--she sent pics with updates for me to see how he was doing each day. Thank you so much Bridget ☺️”
“I honestly can't say enough good things about Kaia. She's watched our three big pit/American Staffy mixes so many times now—whether it's for a long workday, an overnight stay, or several days while we're out of town—and we've never had to worry for a second. Our dogs are a lot! They have endless energy, are always looking for attention, love to roughhouse with each other, and are obsessed with swimming in the pool (which means someone has to dry off three soaking wet dogs every time they come inside!). Kaia takes it all in stride and gives them so much love and attention. She also makes sure they get their daily medications without any issues. One of my favorite things is that she always sends us pictures and videos while we're away. It makes such a difference knowing they're happy, having fun, and being so well cared for. It's obvious how much Kaia genuinely loves animals, and our dogs absolutely love her right back! We trust her completely, and there's no one else we'd rather have taking care of our pups. We're so lucky to have found her, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.”

About: I have two wonderful dogs of my own that I’ve lovingly cared over 5+ years and I’ve also enjoyed helping care for my sister’s dog.

What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat every pet like a cherished member of my own family. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making sure each pet receives plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and personalized care. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and routine, and I always strive to keep them happy, relaxed, and tail wagging with joy!!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tamarac
Vincent saved the day. The original babysitter cancelled. 15 minutes before we got on the plane. I had to call Vincent at the last second before we got on the plane with no question asked, be went over the house and took care of my animals. I am definitely going to use him again very polite and nice guy. Thank you for everything.
Nydia responded promptly to my request for dog sitting. She came to meet us right away for a meet and greet . We discussed a schedule and and went over pancakes routines. She came every time she promised she would sent lots of pictures. She put my mind at ease knowing my pancakes was being taking care of well we were out of town. I will be scheduling her again for my next trip out of town.
Shaneka was wonderful with my pup. She gained her trust quickly, even though she is very skitish. I was surprised at how fast they bonded. I booked her for House/Dog sitting and Shaneka followed all my instructions to the T and I will deffinately be booking again and soon!!!
I reached out to Amber at the last minute for house sitting services because I had a cancellation from my other dogsitter. Amber was super flexible and honest with me about what she could and could not do on such short notice. She was able to meet my dog the very next day for a meet and greet after I sent the request. That was super helpful because I was leaving for a trip in 3 days. My dog was well taken care of and I came back to a happy dog. I will definitely add Amber to my very short list of reliable dogsitters.
I had an amazing experience with Tanaysia. From the very beginning, communication was clear and reassuring. She was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for my dog as if he was her own. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away.
Maria took great care of my kittens over Thanksgiving weekend! They warmed up to her quickly and I knew they were in safe hands which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She sent me cute videos and updates daily and I wouldn't hesitate to trust her again in the future to take care of my fur babies!
Marilyn was perfect with our three cats! When we first met her it felt like we’ve known her forever. The cats warmed up to her right away (especially our spicy tuxedo lol). She knew exactly how to take care of them and how to meet each of their needs. Marilyn played with the cats, gave them extra love, and made sure they were well fed (even with their usual mid day treats). Such a great experience!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tamarac
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tamarac on Rover is $72.15 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 4,653 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tamarac. 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 Tamarac 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 Tamarac 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 Tamarac 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 Tamarac. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
