“Alana was wonderful with our baby Kaya. She sent photos, updates and was quick to answer any questions we had. She was able to give our dog her medicine, and took her for her regular walks. We came home to a spotless home, and a happy dog. We look forward to having Alana come back soon, without hesitation. Thank you Alana!”

About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)

About: We’re retired pet lovers starting a new chapter in life. With all our kids grown and out of the house, we now enjoy our spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in Kendall — complete with a large yard and lots of love to give! We’ve had pets our entire lives and truly know how to care for and love them. Over the years, we’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends and private clients, both in our home and theirs. We’re experienced with feeding, cleaning, administering medication, and—most importantly—making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Now that we’re retired, we have the time and heart to welcome furry guests into our home. Our big yard is perfect for running and playing, and our calm, peaceful lifestyle means your pet will always have company, comfort, and attention. Our home may feel a little too quiet these days—so we’d love to fill it with happy paws and wagging tails. ✨ Pickup and drop-off available for a fee, depending on your location 🗣️ English & Español spoken As a retired couple, we have full availability during the week and weekends. Our daily routine is calm and flexible, which allows us to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. We wake up early, spend time in the yard or go for walks (if needed), and we’re home most of the day to make sure pets are never alone and always feel cared for. Afternoons are for playtime, cuddles, or rest, depending on the pet’s needs. We’re also flexible and happy to follow any special routines or schedules. Your pet will be a loved part of our peaceful daily life. We care for pets in a calm, loving environment. In our home, they’ll enjoy a large, secure yard for play and exercise, and a clean, cozy space indoors where they can relax and feel at home. We’re always present, making sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow all instructions carefully to maintain their routine. We make sure they’re fed on time, walked if needed, and given lots of affection so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether in our home or yours, your pet will be treated like family.

About: Hi! I’m Angie, a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm up north surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes dogs, horses, pigs, chickens, rabbits, cows, and even deer! 🐴🐶🐰🐷 Caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember, and growing up around so many different animals taught me patience, responsibility, and how every animal has their own personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve continued caring for dogs and other pets through house sitting and pet sitting for family, friends, and personal referrals. I recently decided to take that experience beyond my personal circle and join Rover! I’m 20 years old and work a flexible part-time schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with attention, playtime, walks, affection, and care. I’m comfortable with energetic pets, senior animals, pets who need medication, and animals with specific routines or special instructions. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets while you’re away, so I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. ❤️ For pets staying in my home, they’ll enjoy a loving, cage-free environment unless you prefer otherwise. I have a fenced backyard, live in a gated community, and have cameras for additional security. I also use an AirTag during walks for an extra layer of safety and will send consistent pictures and updates so you can see how your baby is doing throughout their stay! 🐾 I’m also fortunate to have a pet loving household. If I need to step away for work or an errand, my dad Jonathan and my boyfriend Alex are home and help make sure the pets in our care continue to have company, attention, and supervision. Drop-Off & Pick-Up 🐾 To make arrivals and departures as smooth as possible, I ask that drop-off and pick-up times are confirmed with me in advance. 🏡 Boarding: Drop-off and pick-up are available between 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM. ☀️ Doggy Day Care: Drop-off begins at 8:00 AM, with pick-up by 5:00 PM. I understand that travel plans and schedules can change, so I’m always happy to accommodate different times when possible just communicate with me ahead of time! 🤍 Please keep in mind that boarding stays extending significantly beyond a 24-hour period may include Rover’s extended care rate. For boarding, I do ask that pets staying in my home are up to date on their vaccinations for everyone’s safety. Please bring their food and let me know about any allergies, medications, special instructions, routines, or preferences beforehand so I can keep their stay as close to home as possible. Whether you need boarding, drop-in visits, or someone dependable to care for your pets while you travel, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m excited to meet you and your pets and hopefully become someone you can trust and count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work part time at a hair salon, and outside of work I love spending my time with my own pup! 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine, from walks and playtime to plenty of cuddles and attention. When I’m at work, my dad Jonathan is usually home, and my boyfriend, Alex is also around often so there’s never a shortage of extra love and cuddles! 🤍 I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority! I live in a gated community with a fenced backyard and cameras for added security. Pets in my care get plenty of supervised outdoor time, walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. I always follow each pet parent’s routine and instructions and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. 🐾🤍

About: Hi there! I've been an animal lover since I was very young, and that passion led me to study 3 years of veterinary medicine and complete a veterinary assistant course. I combine that technical knowledge with a caring, detail-oriented approach to give your pet the care it deserves. I'm currently building my own pet care business, and I'd love to be part of the trusted team of people who look after your furry friend while you're away. I know every pet has their own personality and energy level, so I offer a personalized experience tailored to what each furry companion needs to feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I'm available 7 days a week, since I'm 100% dedicated to pet care. This allows me to offer flexible scheduling to fit each family's needs, whether it's for walks, visits, or care at any time of day. Trust and safety are at the core of everything I do. With my background in veterinary medicine and a veterinary assistant course, I know how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and respond calmly and responsibly. I'm committed to ongoing learning so I can always provide the best care possible, giving you peace of mind that your furry friend is safe and in good hands.

About: I've been a dog lover since I was born. I've participated in adoption and rescue campaigns for vulnerable puppies, understanding the needs of each one and respecting their routines. My intention is always to make them feel loved and cared for. I welcome shy, playful, and expert heart-stealing puppies. I recently moved to Miami and I have a part-time job, which allows me to dedicate myself to my true passion, which is caring for animals. I currently live in an apartment with private park areas and have transportation available to get around. I can also care for the pet at the owner's home for the pet's greater comfort.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs and puppies literally since the day I was born. Growing up in a pet-loving home gave me a deep, natural understanding of canine behavior, from the high-energy needs of training a new puppy to the daily routines of adult dogs. Now, at 23 years old, I am proud to offer reliable, attentive, and loving care for your fur babies. I specialize in daily walks, structured playtime, and maintaining whatever feeding or medication schedules your dog thrives on. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk around the neighborhood or just a patient companion to hang out with, I treat every dog with the exact same care and respect I give my own. I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to your pets. I am fully available for overnight house sitting, weekends, and daily check-ins or walks. Because pet care is my primary focus during bookings, I can easily adapt to your pet's specific routine, ensuring they get their meals, bathroom breaks, and exercise exactly on time. Safety is my absolute top priority when caring for your pets in your home. I am highly attentive and always make sure doors and gates are securely locked before letting pets move around. During walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash and stay completely aware of our surroundings. I respect your home, keep it completely clean, and will send you regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have fostered dogs all throughout college. I recently adopted a dog that I previously fostered. I am good with helping anxious dogs socialize and feel comfortable with other dogs as well as people. I will take your dog to parks and help them with any medical needs - I have experience in that too! I am comfortable with both house sitting as well as pet boarding. I am willing to be flexible with scheduling and pricing depending on the days requested and distance needed to be traveled. I also have a good relationship with my local veterinarian and will be able to provide emergency care for your pet if needed. I want you and your pet to be happy and at peace when you they are under my care. I am currently working from home, so I can dedicate time and attention to all your pet's needs! I enjoy taking frequent breaks to take care of my mental and physical health and will be able to do the same for you pets :) I have a fenced backyard for safety. Additionally, plenty of dog beds and toys for your pet's comfort. I am also a very vigilant dog walker due to my own dog being anxious around other dogs. I will make sure that your dog's safety is always my priority.

“Samantha came and loved on the dogs wonderfully! In fact one of my dogs still seems sad that she is no longer spoiling him rotten. I was able to go on a trip without any worries, knowing she was there to love on them. When I returned from the trip, after hearing all the stories of time spent with my dogs I knew Samantha really got to know all of my dogs personalities and loved them well.”

About: I've been around dogs and pets my entire life. Through training my own dogs, I've learned what works—and what doesn't—when it comes to communicating clearly with dogs and building reliable behavior. My red-nose Pit Bull, Bodhi, is service trained, and people often ask how I got him to be so well behaved. My answer is simple: I took the time to learn how dogs communicate and how to communicate with them in a way they understand. That experience is what sparked my passion for helping other dogs and their owners build better communication, understanding, and relationships. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I have a dog of my own, so I’m already accustomed to building my schedule around walks, exercise, training, feeding, and enrichment. I’m also currently building my professional career in dog behavior and training, so working with dogs is a significant part of my week. I’m comfortable maintaining consistent routines, giving dogs plenty of attention and exercise, and adjusting my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I establish boundaries with every dog I meet before walking them to make sure they get the best possible care and freedom on walks, all while keeping them safe.

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and birds of all sizes and personalities! From playful pups to shy cats, I adapt to each pet’s needs with patience and love. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and at home while their owners are away. As a University of Miami Air Force ROTC Cadet, my days start early and stay structured, which makes caring for pets a perfect fit. I’m already used to staying active and organized, so whether it’s morning walks, feeding routines, or evening check-ins, I plan pet care into my day with the same dedication I give my training. Safety and trust come first. I keep a clean, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding and walking schedules to medication or special routines. My ROTC background has taught me to stay calm, organized, and attentive making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

About: I believe cats and dogs are the best partners to have in life; the love and comfort they provide is something that goes unmatched. In regards to pricing, the rates are negotiable, especially when considering the distance. Overall, I am honored to be selected by you and will do my best to take care of your family member in any way. To note, I received the "Care for All of God's Creations" award for not only serving the students on my campus but by helping the animals too. To elaborate, I once recovered a little bird that was not able to fly due to the cold and placed him in a basket with a scarf, and traveled with him until he was able to fly. I currently work remotely which provides me the flexibility to cater to your pets demands. I usually conduct a walk early in the morning and then another in the evening. My number one priority is respecting your space. By the time you come back I want you to return as if time stopped and you are resuming play.

Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my Rover booking on very short notice, just a few days before the service, which immediately gave me so much relief. From the start, she was communicative, professional, trustworthy, and incredibly reliable. She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when I returned home. It was obvious they felt comfortable with her, and they warmed up to her right away — which says everything. Not only were my dogs happy, but my home was also left very tidy and well cared for. Stephanie truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!

Stephanie took great care of our girl Raven (German shepherd/belgian malinois mix for reference on the energy level if you are looking for that). We got an update for everything and she sent a ton of photos which we appreciated greatly. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone and everyone. She can handle high energy breeds (and I’m sure low energy breeds). Any care instructions we left were followed meticulously! And my girl absolutely loved snuggling up to her ❤️

You’ve earned a lifelong client in me! :-)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in The Hammocks is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $72 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.

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 The Hammocks 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 The Hammocks 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 The Hammocks 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!

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.
