“Anna, has been THE BEST dog sitter we have ever had. She communicated with us during her stay with Charlie with many photos and updates. Came back to a clean house and a happy dog. A+ service.”
“Amber was great to work with while she stayed in our home with our three dogs. She loved on them all weekend and we could tell the dogs were happy and much more comfortable at home than at a kennel.”
“Sean did a great job taking care of our girl Zella. He was very respectful of our home and communication was outstanding to make sure Zella was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend to others.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, as much as four in a household! The largest being over 100 pounds and the smallest under 10! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have learned to understand body language pretty well! A little over a year ago my family brought in a month old puppy that has now grown to be a malinois/shepherd/bully mix so I have experience with a work breed puppy as well! I am currently enrolled at FGCU, my classes start during the fall so I am a completely open book during the week and weekends for the rest of the summer! (Will update when I start my classes) I am used to staying at my clients homes, I feel it makes the animals more comfortable and the last thing they need is to stress! I usually ask for notes on how the pets are usually cared for and strictly follow those notes so I don’t disturb the animals mental clock!
“Cara is awesome! She did an overnight with my dog, effectively communicated and sent pictures throughout the stay. I felt my dog was in very good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Kiley was phenomenal. She communicated regularly and she spent plenty of time with the pups. We’ve had many sitters and we could tell, this one was different where the pups were super relaxed and happy. Thank you, Kiley!”
“Kaylyn is an awesome pet sitter. She's responsible, reliable and a great communicator. She watched our 2 Siberian cats for a few days and sent pictures and texts to keep us in the loop. She even brushed their tangled fur! We will definitely rebook her.”
“Danielle was a true lifesaver for us as she was able to watch our dog Zella at the last minute when another sitter (booked thru Rover) did not show up after we had already left town. More amazing was that she was able to watch her for the entire 3 weeks especially thru the holidays and we are forever grateful to her for the care she gave Zella. She sent us daily updates and photos throughout and gave us tremendous peace of mind the entire time. We highly recommend Danielle to others and will definitely use her in the future without hesitation. She is truly awesome!!”
“Paloa was absolutely amazing. She took very good care of our puppy and kept us posted with pictures & communicated with multiple times throughout the day!! I would highly recommend this lovely young lady!!”
About: Trusted, dependable pet and home care across SWFL. I provide personalized attention, reliable communication & loving care for dogs of all breeds, personalities and energy levels while treating every pet and home with respect. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide constant attention, reliable communication, and quality care throughout the day. I enjoy exploring local parks, trails and outdoor spaces and I love incorporating safe walks, enrichment and new adventures into my routine with pets.. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I begin by learning what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I prioritize trust, communication and consistency by meeting with families beforehand discussing routines and special instructions and creating a comfortable environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away
“Virginia is sweet, reliable, communicative and wonderful with our quirky special-needs dog. She stayed at our home and it was great knowing someone was there with her who we could trust!”
“Idania was very communicative and responsive. She stayed and took care of my husky, Luna while we were away for a family event. She let me know that Luna’s medications were given and sent pictures of her walks. Thanks again!!!”
“She was amazing watching our pups. We got pictures every single day and updates. She arrived on time and let us know. When she left. She cleaned up after herself. I would recommend her to anybody that's looking for in-house dog sitting. She is definitely reliable.”
“Victoria watched our two dogs for a long weekend and took wonderful care of them. She sent updates daily with photos and our dogs appeared to be quite comfortable! Our home was also very well maintained while she was here. Definitely keeping her on our list of sitters for future trips away!”
“My boyfriend and I are so happy we found Dannie to watch our 8 month old puppy. This was our first time leaving him with a dog sitter so we were a little nervous, but Dannie made our trip relaxed! I knew they’d do well together when my puppy loved her from the first meet and greet. She sent multiple messages and pictures throughout the day, updating us on how much fun they were having and just to say hi. It was comforting having her be so communicative. She followed our directions with our puppy (we have specific things we do for him) and she did them no problem. She also left the house clean and neat, which was appreciated! She’s also very calm and sweet, which was needed for our sometimes crazy puppy. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Ana was absolutely amazing with Ella and Lacey! From the moment we connected, I could tell how much she genuinely cares for animals. She took excellent care of both of them, sending regular updates, adorable photos, and making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well-loved while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and loving caregiver for their pets. Thank you Ana! 🐾❤️”
“Jennifer was an excellent pet sitter for our girls. Her communication skills were solid. She was knowledgeable, reliable and always on time. We came home to a clean home and happy puppies😊. We look forward to having her again.”
About: For more than 20 years, our life has been rooted in service and travel — first as a retired military family, and later as mission workers serving orphaned youth in the Dominican Republic. Through those experiences, home became especially meaningful to me. Some of the greatest joy in my life has come from raising my children, caring for our animals, and tending to our small homestead. Now that we are happily settled in Naples for good and my children are getting older, I have the opportunity to devote more time to caring for the homes and animals of others with the same love and attention I give my own. I am a homesteading and homeschooling Mom with older children, so my day is flexible with notice. I can do drop in visits to your home within a reasonable distance or stay over night keeping your pets comfortable in their own home as well. Because of the number of animals we already have on our little homestead, I’m only able to offer care for your fur-baby in your home.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Vanderbilt Beach is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vanderbilt Beach
Virginia is fantastic with my senior fur baby, Kobe who suffers from separation anxiety. He loves her and is so chill when we get home you can tell he was super comfortable with her. She is a born Animal Lover and Kobe can tell because as soon as she arrives he brings her a toy and flops on his side which is an invitation to rub his belly! ♥️🐾
Debbie was wonderful. They seemed to get along great. I felt a bit uneasy at first because this was the first time I had left Oliver with a sitter in our house. I am so glad I did. Oliver was relaxed and happy when I got home - and Debbie left me a nice neat clean house! perfect!
Amber was fantastic! We knew she was the perfect fit for our sweet boy during the initial meeting, as she immediately was speaking with him and showing all the love. We very much liked that she stayed in our home while we were away, as he is accustomed to having someone working from home about 50% of the month. It gave us a lot of relief knowing that he had genuine caring company while we were away, especially during the start of the storm season. She also sent us pictures of our handsome boy so we were able to still see his squishy face while we were in Australia. We will definitely be booking with Amber again in the future!!
Angie stayed in our home for 4 nights with out kitty, Feste. On our return, he noted the following: “Angie was very well intended. She immediately smothered me with hugs and pets. I did my best to be patient with her and even purred to make her feel welcomed. But then she wanted to play. Figuring she was lonely, I chased and jumped until I had to pretend I was exhausted. Then there were more pets. Lots of food and treats. Did I mention the pictures? She was relentless. I finally tired her out. So that’s what happened except when she left I missed her. Now that I’ve trained her, I’d love to have her back—any time.’ Feste. We, of course, agree.
Jennifer was amazing with our dogs. Especially with our 13 year old who recently had surgery on her leg, is a finicky eater and is nervous with strangers. She took such good care of puppy too. We have had other pet sitters but no one like Jennifer she was exceptional.

FAQs for House Sitting - Vanderbilt Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vanderbilt Beach on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 983 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vanderbilt Beach. 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 Vanderbilt Beach 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 Vanderbilt Beach 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 Vanderbilt Beach 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 Vanderbilt Beach. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
