“Linda was amazing with my blind recently adopted girl. She gave her love and care and attention and was so attentive to her needs and sent me tons of pictures which made me feel better on my first time away from her! I would highly recommend her.”
“Sally was absolutely amazing with our dog! She was loving, kind and fun! We knew Mack was in good hands with her. He was always safe, well feed & got plenty of walks. She left the house immaculate and has our complete trust.”
“Michelle is the absolute best! She stayed at our house to watch our older dog and cat while we were away for 8 days. She sent pictures, checked in with updates, and even helped us navigate an unexpected AC issue. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and a great communicator. My pets loved her! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing sitting services.”
About: I have had a pet of some type my entire life, and I love to take care of animals. I work from home and have 2 willing teenagers at home who would love another pet but will settle on helping care for yours. I'm current home all day and will take your dog for walks and play. I have a ton of flexibility to walk dogs, take care of pets and play. Someone in our family is always home. We have a family dog at home that gets along well with others.

About: Hello!! My name is Laura and I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. I currently care for a variety of pets including my dog, three cats, two birds, and a ferret, so I’m very comfortable managing different types of animals and their unique needs. I usually am hired by neighbors and friends of neighbors but I figured I try this style out! I care from big to small dogs and I can also care for exotic pets! I have experience with feeding routines, cleaning up after pets, playtime, walks, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I also regularly help take care of my friends’ pets when they’re away, so I understand how important it is for owners to trust that their pets are in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. Also, not only am I taking care of your pets, I also take care of your house! I will treat your space with the utmost respect as I would expect from mine. I can water plants, vacuum, any sort of easy cleaning I can do! Pool, yard work, let me know! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m able to visit multiple times per day if needed and will always make sure your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and comfort are my top priority. Safety and trust are extremely important when caring for someone else’s pet. Since I have multiple pets of my own, I understand how important it is to know your animals are in good hands. I always pay close attention to pets, make sure they’re comfortable in their environment, and follow any instructions given so they stay happy and safe.
About: I’ve taken care of my dog and others dogs for 13+ years. I’ve had dogs my entire life and I am such a huge dog person! I will bathe, feed, or walk or all if needed! I have a 10 year old French bulldog at home and before him, I had a Cockapoo who we had just before him until he was 15 years old. I’m currently a student, so I have plenty of time between classes and during the day to walk and play with your dogs/cats. Most week days I’m available & weekends are even better. I have a French bulldog at home and if your dogs friendly, we can socialize them, but I have a gate if we need it!
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 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.

I do have a patio that I can close if they want to spend time out doors.

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 October 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $80 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
