About: I provide loving, personal care for your pet. I love animals of all kinds, and have had them all my life. I love to play and walk dogs, and treat them as if they are my own. I have a safe, fenced large yard and only take dogs on flea and tick control , non aggressive, and up to date on their shots, for the safety of my dog and others I care for. I can take dogs up to 25 pounds. I have been dog sitting for many years and can provide excellent references if needed. I require a meet and greet, to get to know your dog and for your personal assurance that I am the sitter for your needs. I also can accomodate dogs with special needs and other pets. A nightly stay is a 24 hour period, late pickups over an hour will incur a day fee for that day. This is so i can stay on a schedule for other appointments. Hope to meet your furry family member soon!!
About: I have cared for animals throughout my life, including dogs, cats, and horses, and understand every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive and take the time needed to let each animal get comfortable with me at their own pace. I have cared for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities from rescues to pedigrees, Lab/Pit mixes to Great Danes, as well as horses, beginning in my high school years and currently volunteer at a local horse rescue. What sets me apart is the interest I show in them. Recently, I was at the gym when a little dog came over and immediately sat down with his back to me and happily accepted some pets. When he looked up at me, he seemed to be saying, “Thank you for the pets! I have your back while you do this machine.” 😊Aww When I meet 2 dogs at the same household, one is usually more outgoing. I always make sure to pay equal attention to both, maybe the quieter one a little more. Animals can sense when someone genuinely enjoys being around them, even if some take a little longer than others. My availability is flexible, semi-retired, working remotely part-time allowing me to be available. I’m happy to work with your schedule and, when I can accommodate it, I’m also available for last-minute requests. I enjoy being able to give pets the attention and care they need while their people are away. I also understand life happens and planning is sometimes last minute at best. The safety and comfort of your pet is always my first priority. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, while paying attention to their behavior and surroundings. I make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, and I never assume a pet is comfortable with something simply because another pet is. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own home. I keep things clean and orderly, and I make sure your pet has a safe, comfortable environment while you are away. I also believe communication is important. I want you to feel connected to your pet while you are away, so I’m happy to send updates and photos and let you know how they are doing. If I notice anything unusual with your pet or in your home, I will let you know. I will be taking a Pet CPR & First Aid class in October in Boyton Beach. I'll learn the most up to date protocols in pet CPR, choking, rescue breathing, bleeding, snout to tail assessments, dental, pet care, first aid and more. I’m taking this class so I can be as prepared as possible to care for your pets and respond in an emergency.

About: Hi, I'm Toi, and I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your home and beloved pets in someone else’s care. I am conscientious about keeping a home clean, secure, and cared for, and I treat every home as I would want someone to treat my own. I’m attentive to details, reliable about following instructions, and proactive when it comes to communication. I enjoy the simple pleasures of life, spending time with animals, getting outside and watching soccer. For me, house and pet sitting is about more than just watching a home or feeding a pet. It’s about providing peace of mind to the people who are away and making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re gone. I would be honored to care for your home and your furry family members as if they were my own. Pet care is a consistent part of my life, I have my own dog, and I've been pet and house sitting for over ten years. Caring for animals isn't occasional for me, it's a daily habit, whether it's my own dog's routine of feeding, walks, and playtime, or looking after someone else's pets while they're away. I treat every animal I care for as if it were my own, making sure their feeding schedule, exercise, and comfort stay consistent even when their owners aren't there. I'm also very respectful of the homes I stay in, treating each one with the same care and attention to detail I'd want if it were mine. When I'm sitting at a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible with consistent feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions they provide, like medications or special diets. I treat their home and their pet with the same respect and attention I'd want for my own, keeping the house clean and undisturbed, and making sure their pet gets the same love and consistency they're used to when their owner is home.
About: I have been pet-sitting since approximately 2014--my absolute favorite jobs have been with my sister's labradoodle, Rex, pictured above, as he is my nephew. I love animals, get along with them quickly, and am adaptable to their unique needs. Happy to help reinforce training as needed and have plenty of experience with all sizes and lifestyles, small to large, sedentary to active. I work part-time in the food and beverage industry; formerly working as a corporate ghostwriter for business executives and owners. I would love to meet cute fur babies in the neighborhood as it inevitably uplifts my mood and day without fail. I have a flexible schedule all mornings to early afternoons and would love to spend some time making pet parents' lives a little easier and meeting my neighbors. I am not able to currently house pets in my own home due to size and lease restrictions. That said, as a house-sitter/pet-sitter, I closely follow pet parents' exact instructions for their pet and house care, including rules, dietary needs, and scheduling. I aim to build trust and neighborly relationships based on transparency and accountability with any and all of my clients.
“We had the BEST experience with Erica as our sitter. We were so impressed with how relaxed and not stressed our two dogs - and the cat - were when we came home. We were able to enjoy being out of town for Thanksgiving knowing our babies were is great hands. We got daily updates and and photos. I highly recommend Erica!”

About: Hello! There is one important detail I’d like prospective clients to know when considering in-home overnight care with me. I have a six-month-old female Golden Retriever named Isla, and she is part of the package! If I stay in your home, Isla will accompany me. She is crate trained, potty trained, well behaved, and a sweet-natured puppy. Any overnight arrangement would need to be a good fit for both your pets and Isla. Also, If your pet stays with me, he/she must be okay with Isla as well. I am always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand. You’re going to get a fantastic, knowledgeable pet-sitter; however, please understand that Isla and I come as a team! More about me… I’m Holly, and I am a professional pet sitter with over 30 years of hands-on animal experience, including extensive work in both general and emergency veterinary settings. Caring for animals has been my life’s work, not a side hustle. I’m often described as a dog whisperer or animal empath, and that comes from a lifetime of paying close attention. I instinctively read animal body language and tend to recognize subtle shifts in behavior before they become apparent. Dogs are my greatest passion, but I share a deep respect and connection with all animals, including cats, birds, fish, and exotic pets. Flexible Pet Sitting Options: I offer personalized pet care in a few different settings, depending on your pet’s needs and what works best for everyone involved. • In-Home Pet Sitting: I can stay in your home and care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own environment. This is often ideal for senior pets, anxious animals, pets with medical needs, or those who simply do best with their normal routines. • Pet Sitting in My Home: I also offer the option of caring for your pet in my apartment on a case-by-case basis. For the comfort, safety, and individual attention of everyone involved, I accept only one visiting pet at a time. All arrangements are discussed and evaluated in advance to ensure it’s a good fit. My Professional Background My experience includes: * General and emergency veterinary experience * Certified pet sitting and animal care training * Accredited professional dog training and behavior awareness * Extensive experience with senior pets, special-needs pets, and complex care routines In addition to my veterinary and pet care background, I have owned and successfully operated a boarding, training, and daycare business. I’ve worked closely with veterinarians, technicians, and pet parents in fast-paced hospital and specialty environments, building long-standing, trust-based relationships. My education and certifications include Animal CPR and First Aid, Canine Cognition and Psychology, Animal Reiki, and ongoing professional development in animal behavior and care. Just as important to me is discretion. I take confidentiality seriously, maintain a thorough background check, and provide strong references for your peace of mind. I don’t believe pets are “just animals,” and your home is never “just a house.” Both are central to your daily life, your comfort, and your sense of security. My goal is to help you feel confident and at ease knowing everything is being cared for thoughtfully, responsibly, and with genuine affection. My promise to you is simple: I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Every decision I make is guided by one question: What would I do if this were my pet? And I act accordingly. My schedule is fully open right now, which allows me to provide flexible, consistent care based on your pet’s needs rather than a limited time window. Pet care is not something I fit in around other commitments. It’s what I do. I specialize in in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog training sessions, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment and maintain their normal routine. I’m available for daytime, evening, overnight, and extended stays, as well as last-minute or short-notice requests when needed. Because I’m not balancing another job, I’m able to give pets my full attention, whether that means structured walks, playtime, medication schedules, behavioral work, or simply calm companionship. This is especially important for senior pets, anxious animals, or those with more complex care needs. I will provide a high level of care in your home or mine with reliability, consistency, and clear communication so you always know your pets and home are being looked after properly. Safety and trust are the foundation of everything I do. When I’m in your home, my focus is simple: your pets’ well-being and maintaining a calm, secure environment that feels familiar to them. I follow your routines closely because consistency matters. Feeding schedules, medications, exercise, sleep habits, all of it. I don’t cut corners or “wing it.” With my veterinary background, I’m also trained to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or mood, and I act on those early if something feels off. I’m experienced with medication administration, senior care, post-procedure monitoring, and pets with anxiety or behavioral challenges. I can crate when needed, reinforce training, support potty routines, and provide structured walks or enrichment based on your dog’s personality and energy level. In your home, I move with respect and awareness. Doors are secured, routines are protected, and your space is treated with care and discretion. I don’t invite people over, I don’t create disruption, and I communicate clearly so you’re never left wondering how things are going. What sets me apart is not just experience, it’s judgment. I don’t panic, I don’t overlook things, and I don’t take risks with animals. I stay calm, I pay attention, and I make decisions the same way I would if they were my own pets. You’re not just hiring someone to “watch” your pets. You’re trusting someone to step into your home and handle what matters most to you. I take that seriously every single time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tequesta
Camila was an incredible sitter to my 2 senior dogs and 1 senior cat (plus snake!). I needed to book last minute and she was very open to not only accepting the request, but coming by to meet myself and my babies. I could tell right away they were comfortable with her and I felt like they were in great hands before and during the entire stay. She texted me daily and sent me photos/videos. I'll definitely be requesting Camila, again!

I can't say enough about Linda and the care she gave our Rosie. Even with a delay in our flight home, Linda put our minds at ease knowing that she would do all she could to be sure Rosie was well taken care of. I would most definately ask for her help in the future. I think Rosie may have a new "favorite person"!

Anita was fantastic … she was the best dog sitter we ever had and we have had sooo many! She stayed with our Roxy for a week and provided tons of updates, love and care for our girl. She went out of her way to make sure we were never wondering how she was doing which with a senior dog made our trip stress free! She was clean and took care of our home, took mail in and took trash out and even watered my plants. I can’t recommend her enough.

Emily was absolutely amazing with our pups! She took such wonderful care of them and loved them as if they were her own. She spent quality time with them—relaxing by the pool, cuddling on the couch, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved while we were away. She stayed on top of their entire routine, from meals and walks to bedtime, and gave us complete peace of mind. She also took great care of our home and was incredibly kind, respectful, and reliable throughout her stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and will definitely be using Emily again and again to care for our fur babies. We highly recommend her!

The average cost of House Sitting in Tequesta is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $79 per night. 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 1,606 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tequesta. 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 Tequesta 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 Tequesta 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 Tequesta 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tequesta. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
