“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!”

“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 was amazing. She sent frequent updates and videos of her with the puppies. She was our house sitter as well as took care of the fur babies. The home was clean and the way that I left it. Ginger and Belle were well taken care of. I would definitely use her again.”

“I have to admit I was super nervous leaving my boys for 2 weeks, especially with my cat having congestive heart failure but Ruth was wonderful and followed instructions, came back to our home and the boys looking great. Thank you Ruth, I will be rebooking you again.”


“Victoria was a great communicator and took good care of both of my dogs. She is very kind, patient, and she sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout the entire day she spent in my house. Thank you!”


“Azucena (Zu) took such great care of Titi over the weekend! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Titi was in good hands. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and showed so much love and attention to Titi, especially important since she’s a senior dog. We could tell Titi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Zu went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated her communication and kindness. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. Thank you so much, Zu! ❤️”

About: I have 9 years of experience caring for animals, starting when I got my first dog at 7. I’ve been around and taking care of animals my whole life, and I truly enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I am currently working part-time so I have a very flexible schedule to make time to take great care of your furry friends! I am available weekends, and Monday through Friday 7 am - 1 pm, and 7 pm on. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and clean environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully so their pet feels comfortable and at ease.
About: Hi!! I have been the designated pet sitter in my family for as long as I could remember haha whether it be walks, short stays, or drop ins and check ins any chance I get to take care of a sweet animal I accept! I am mainly familiar with dogs and cats. I’m also a runner so if a dog needs a little bit more exercise I can do that. I am also familiar with bigger breeds. I am self employed so I work on my own terms and have tons of availability to take care of your sweet pet. My weekends are flexible and I’m willing to work with anybody and accommodate as best I can in any situation. I dont normally board animals in my home all though I have if needed and in special situations as my home is fairly small and if possible it’s nice for animals to have more space to roam. I mainly do house sittings so I’m able to come and take care of pets in the comfort of their own home !
“Deborah did an outstanding job with our babies. When I got home neither of them were stressed out from us being gone or from the sitting. She did what she said she would and what we asked from her. We will be rebooking with Deborah again.”


About: When I was five my parents gave my brothers and I a puppy for christmas and named him Sparky, this year he turns 16! Growing up I have always loved animals of all shapes and sizes and would love to love your furbaby. I have taught Sparky plenty of tricks and enjoy the bonding it builds. I have petsat for plenty of my friends and have always enjoyed it. Not only do I have 15+ years of experience with dogs but I also have years of experience with cats! I have my own cat named Cleo and she turned 2 this year. I am currently working part time as a Registered Behavior Technician. I will have plenty of time before and after sessions to play and care for your furbabies. I also have weekends off! I will always ensure your pet is safe and cared for. I am super respectful of other people’s homes and belongings and will treat your furbaby as my own.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or extra cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I provide loving, in-home care for pets in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, regular meals, playtime, and rest, just like they would at home. I treat every pet as part of the family and focus on keeping them happy, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: As an RN with over 11 years of experience, I understand the importance of being dependable, attentive, and compassionate. Those same qualities guide the care I provide for every dog and cat. I’m also a devoted dog mom to a senior Min Pin named Canela. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I have firsthand experience caring for dogs with complex medical needs, administering oral and topical medications, monitoring recovery after surgery, and recognizing subtle changes in a dog’s condition or behavior. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a drop-in visit for potty breaks, playtime, meals, fresh water, or medication, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your companion is well cared for. At this time, I primarily offer dog walking and drop-in visits so I can continue caring for Canela. I also offer limited boarding for one guest dog at a time in a calm home environment. Pet care is already part of my daily routine as a devoted dog mom to my senior Min Pin, Canela. I structure my schedule around caring for her first each day, which allows me to provide dependable dog walking and drop-in visits Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and weekends from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This routine helps me give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. During drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also make sure your home is respected and secure by following any instructions you provide, such as locking doors, bringing in packages, or adjusting lights if requested. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind every step of the way.
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: I’ve cared for dogs, birds, reptiles and cats since I was 5 years old. Especially my dog who lived a long healthy life for 18 years. I will treat your pets like they are my own family and make sure they are safe and happy to the best of my ability. I currently have my own remote business so my schedule is very flexible and I can make adjustments quite easily. Mondays through Fridays are my preferred days, so I can have personal time on weekends, but there can be exceptions. I will take notes, requests and follow instructions thoroughly. The well being and needs of your pets is my top priority, and I will treat your home with respect.
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: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them—from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, birds, ducks, chickens, goats and cows, along with a very beloved ferret who still holds a special place in my heart. That lifelong experience has made me comfortable around animals with all kinds of personalities, routines and needs. I've learned that every pet is different: some want to be right by your side, some need time to warm up, some have endless energy, and others are happiest simply knowing you're nearby. Today, I'm a proud cat mom to three, and my love for animals is a huge part of why I'm here. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care, and I want every owner to feel confident knowing their pet is being looked after with genuine affection, patience and attention. Whether I'm caring for your pet for a few hours or while you're away, my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved and as close to their normal routine as possible. I'll care for them with the same thoughtfulness I'd want someone to give my own. ❤️ I currently have availability during evenings, nights, and weekends, allowing me to provide attentive care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and routines so their experience feels familiar, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I provide care in my clients’ homes, my priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable in the environment they already know. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions you have for their care. I’m also very respectful of the homes I’m trusted with. I’m naturally extremely tidy (admittedly, a bit of a neat freak!), so I’ll keep your pet’s spaces clean, tidy up as needed, and treat your home with the same care and consideration I would my own. My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home that feels just as you left it—if not a little tidier. :)

“I had a wonderful experience with my pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, Julius, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was caring, responsible, communicative, and treated Julius like her own. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that he was safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. I will absolutely book her again!” 🐾❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - The Hammocks
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars All the Way! Alana took care of our babies, Titan, Luna, and Sandy, while we traveled to Tampa this past weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier with her. You can immediately tell that Alana genuinely loves animals and isn’t simply doing this for the money. She has a wonderful personality, was great with all three of our dogs, and most importantly, our dogs absolutely loved her! That says everything to us. Having someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away gives you tremendous peace of mind, and Alana gave us exactly that. I recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and genuine pet sitter. Five stars all the way! We will definitely be using Alana again many times in the future. Thank you, Alana, for taking such great care of Titan, Luna, and Sandy! 🐾❤️

I highly recommend Karla to watch your fur babies! She’s so sweet and very attentive. She did such an amazing job staying with my 3 dogs. I felt so at ease with them being under her care while I was away traveling. She stayed in touch with me, sent updates, and photos which I greatly appreciate. Thank you Karla!!!

Sofia was awesome with our pups 🐶 she was very attentive and kept them company while we took a short vacation. She is very responsive when you reach out and a very caring pet caregiver I would highly recommend Sofia without hesitation for your pet/house sitting needs thanks again Sofia for taking such great care of our furry kids and we plan to use Sofia again very soon!!!

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!

Alexis took wonderful care of Megan, Saber, and Knight over the past five days. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in caring, capable hands while we were away. She was attentive, dependable, and clearly gave each of them love and attention based on their individual needs. We came home to three happy, relaxed dogs, which says everything. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a kind and reliable dog sitter!

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 ❤️

Sandra is simply AMAZING! I honestly felt like I was leaving my fur baby with family. She took such wonderful care of my doodle, showering him with love and attention. The detailed updates she sent telling me about what he was doing, how he was feeling, and even what he ate, put my mind completely at ease. I’m so happy to have found Sandra, and from now on, she’s the only one I’ll trust with my pet! Thank you, Sandra, for being so genuine, kind, and truly passionate about animals. You’ve earned a lifelong client in me! :-)

FAQs for House Sitting - The Hammocks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in The Hammocks on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,822 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across The Hammocks. 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 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.
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 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!
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 The Hammocks. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
