About: I have 20+ years of experience with critters of all kinds ranging from Hamsters to Horses. Great with puppies, senior dogs and everything in between. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time for walks, drop ins, belly rubs, doggy park play dates, house sitting etc. My schedule is flexible, I live in an apartment and don’t have any fur babies of my own. Dogs have the same privileges as humans at my house. They tend to get more naps, snacks and couch time than me, it’s a dog’s life over here for sure.

About: I am a professional RN. I love taking care of animals. I am looking to care for dogs or cats to care for. We have plenty of room and walking paths. What does my price include: As a free upgrade if requested your dog will get atleast one trip to the dog park per day with photos and videos. I believe the car ride and playtime weather permitting is a good way for your pet to get the proper fitness and social skills they need. Also free upon request: they can have a quick bath/shampoo before going home. These options are not for every pet but I do make them avaiable upon request. Your pet will have the bare minimum of 4 walks per day unless other arrangements are made. Weekends I do a 30 minute field trip to the beach. Only upon request and only if its a good fit for the dog and owner. I live in a townhouse and I am very dependable. I have had animals all my life and find it fun to spend time with them.

About: Hello! I grew up with golden retrievers, mutts, and cats and have a ton of experience pet sitting for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I currently own a 75lb mutt who is extremely smart and athletic, so we do intense exercise daily! If you’re looking for someone to walk, run, play or just pet your dog, I’m your guy! I’m currently working part-time and have flexibility in my schedule to walk, visit, exercise or feed your dog. Whatever you need, I can be flexible. I’m happy to walk, run, or play with your dog. My dog was a challenging rescue and I had to learn to keep him stimulated. I’ve taught him to run on a treadmill, run while I bike, do frisbee tricks, and much more!

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: 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.

About: Hi, my names Camila! I’m 27 and growing up, we’ve always had dogs as part of the family. Being around dogs brightens my day and it’s always nice to have the extra company. My style of pet sitting is very flexible & loving; how you treat your pup at home is how I’ll treat them - with affection, attention, & care. The house rules are not strict at all, they can sit on the couch, sleep on the bed, or go out in the fenced yard whenever they please. We have 2 dogs in our family right now: Nova, a 5 year old mini Australian Shepherd & Maui, a 13 year old chihuahua mix. Both of them get along great with other dogs after they meet them. I would love the chance to meet you & help you by caring for your dog! If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to send me a message :) I work at a restaurant 3-5 days a week and max my shift will be 7 hours (normally on weekends until season starts) other than that, I have a complete open schedule to spend with your pup! Right now it’s slower at the restaurant due to off-season but starting in December it should start to get busier so I will most likely be working 5 days a week. I care for the animals as if they were my own, I give them love and attention and make sure they are getting what they need.

About: I have a 2 and a half year-old Golden Retriever puppy who is my whole world. Growing up, dogs were always a part of my life, and until recently, I helped my mom care for her three dogs. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments, including those with anxiety and fear, and I’ve even cared for sick dogs. One of the most rewarding experiences was helping nurse my mom’s Boxer, Archie, back to health after he was diagnosed with meningitis—a journey that took months of dedication and care. I truly love all dogs and treat each one as if they were my own! I have a flexible schedule and am available to care for your pets whenever you need. Whether it’s walking, check-ins, I’m here to help! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow any specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and routines to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. Whether it’s a walk or check-in, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing love, patience, and personalized care.

About: What truly sets me apart is my genuine devotion to all animals, combined with the hands-on patience required for both energetic puppy training and gentle senior care. From managing puppy potty schedules and basic manners to administering medication and providing calm, slow-paced comfort to aging pets, I adapt completely to your animal's unique lifecycle and emotional needs. Your pet receives specialized, loving attention tailored exactly to their age and personality. While I work a structured full-time schedule of four 10-hour shifts each week, my remaining three days are entirely dedicated to pet care. On my three full days off, your pets receive my absolute, uninterrupted attention, making it perfect for overnight house sitting, extended daycare, or long weekend adventures. For the four days I am working, I easily fit in early morning or late evening check-ins and feeding routines. This predictable weekly rhythm ensures your animals get dedicated, reliable care exactly when they need it most. When providing care in a client's home, my absolute priority is maintaining their security and normal routine in their own environment. I strictly follow all household rules, ensure the home stays perfectly clean and locked up, and closely stick to the pet’s familiar neighborhood walking routes and feeding rituals. No matter the location, I always send frequent photo and video updates so you have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Tequesta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tequesta is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $41 per visit. 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 2,588 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tequesta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tequesta. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
