“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!”
“Marianne is Wonderful! She cares for and treats our fur babies as if her own. I can tell just by the way they interact with her that they’re 100% comfortable! I feel totally at ease while away! Thank you Marianne!”
“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.”
About: Trusted and loving pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I grew up with English Bulldogs, a Rottweiler, a German Shepherd, and a Pug, so I’m confident handling all breeds and personalities. I work from home, allowing me to provide attentive dog walks and a safe, calm, and loving home for boarding—your dog will be treated like family ❤️ I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I don’t have children, so I can focus on the pets in my care. My condo has a backyard where dogs can enjoy some fresh air, and I love taking them on walks through the many nearby green spaces and walking paths. My home is quiet, comfortable, and peaceful, creating a calm environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. During walks, I always keep dogs on a leash and stay alert to our surroundings. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your routine, keep your home tidy, and make sure your pet receives the same loving care they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Bridget watched my fur babes and everyone was happy and healthy when I got home :) My boy Opie, he has separation anxiety and I feel confident that she gave him all the belly rubs and cuddles to help him through it. Thank You Bridget!”
About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I have experience giving cats and dogs medication, and I’m patient with pets who need extra time to feel comfortable. I also enjoy running with active dogs and always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for before I leave. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available Monday through Saturday for drop-in visits, walks, runs, or simply spending time with your pet and making sure they’re cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m very attentive to both their needs and their environment. I always try to put myself in their shoes and think about what might make them feel comfortable, anxious, happy, or simply more at ease while their person is away. I respect each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries rather than expecting them to immediately adjust to me. Their safety and comfort are always my priority, and before leaving, I make sure they have everything they need and are settled comfortably in their space.
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our house and pet sitter from Papi House by Sat by Rose. From the beginning, communication was great and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our home and dog in her care. Our pet was well loved, happy, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. The house was also kept clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was being taken care of so well. We would absolutely trust Rose again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

We used Ashley for an extended vacation that we took that we were able to have a relaxing trip knowing that Bailey was in great hands. Bailey loved Ashley from the moment she met her as she is a very shy and cautious girl initially. Ashley had the patience and knowledge with how to put Bailey at ease while we were out of town we felt that our home and our Bailey were both safe in Ashley’s hands. Highly recommend her services! Bailey is going to miss you!
Shaneka is the best cat sitter ever! I highly recommend her! She's great with my cats and leaves the house nice and clean! I get pictures and updates every day! She follows instructions and administers medicine to my older cat! I never worry when Shaneka is caring for my cats! Highly recommend!

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 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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tamarac on Rover is $72.15 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 4,586 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:
- 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.
