“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.”
About: My name is Alexandra and I am 38 years old and recently just moved to Naples. I currently have a cavachon and she is very adaptable to other animals. I also have a cat who is a total lovebug. I adore all dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. My schedule is extremely flexible. I am willing to bathe or give medication. I live for animals. I don't have any children. It is just my dog, cat and me so I have plenty of room and time to spend with furry friends! Please contact me anytime. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones! My job is solely to take care of animals. This has been my lifelong dream for a long time. They are my world. Animals are what get me out of bed and outside for fresh air and exercise. I have sidewalks and plenty of grass in my complex. I live in a condo and I have mainly hardwood floors so it's ok if your animal has an accident.
“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 love all animals! I'm a proud bird(s), cats and dog momma! I travel every few months and understand how critical it is to have someone who is willing to treat your babies as if they are their own. All of my babies are rescues, so I know a thing or two about patience and giving space but, I'd much rather give them lots of love! In the past I have devoted 6 months to volunteering in a bird sanctuary and also at the local dog shelters. I'm calm, loving and experienced. Over all I consider myself a genuine and kindhearted person. Anyone who knows me, understands that I love animals and want to help them in any way I can. Feel free to contact me to discuss my services. Kind regards, Kelly I am a small business owner working from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on the weekends and weekdays. I have a spacious backyard and a friendly Pomeranian to keep your fur baby company. Belly rubs and positive affirmations are included in all of my services.
“Cara was wonderful from the first meet and greet and throughout her stay. She accommodated changes due to the passing of our one dog and comforting Luna during her transition to being a single dog. Luna had tummy issues and Cara stayed with her and gave her medication. I would absolutely use Cara again.”
“Amber was amazing with my 11 year old Shi Tzu mix fur baby! She is prompt, kind and very good with animals - my little discerning guy immediately loved her!!! Lots of picture during the day and in constant communication - will definitely use Amber again!!!!!! 🐾❤️”
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
“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.”
“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 was fantastic. She took great care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Reliable, kind, and clearly very comfortable with animals. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Virginia looked after our home and pets for the weekend. We have a Cat, Bird and Chinchilla and Virginia exceeded our expectations doing great with them all and we came home to a very happy animal kingdom! We would highly recommend and will book again. Thank you!”
“Paola was fantastic. Great communicator! Sent pics & asked questions when necessary. We felt very comfortable with her caring for our ‘fur baby’! We would definitely use Paola again!!’”
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid and absolutely love it. I currently have four dogs at home with my parents, and over the years, I’ve helped watch pets for neighbors, friends, and even new clients. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them the love and attention they need, I’ve got it covered! My schedule is pretty flexible during the summer. I’m available Monday-Sunday as long as you let me know 1-3 days in advance what dates you’d need me. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s schedule! I bring a lot of empathy and energy into caring for your pets. I make sure they get plenty of exercise through walks, runs, and playtime. I prioritize their safety and comfort—your pet will come home happy, tired, and well cared for. Whether I’m watching them in your space or mine, you can trust they’re in good hands.
“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!”
“Ana was an excellent sitter for Zizi. She was gentle with Zizi who immediately responded to her warmth. Ana walked Zizi regularly throughout the day and sent pictures of their adventures. I was gone for 12 hours and felt very comfortable that Ana was taking very good care of Zizi. I would highly recommend Ana.”
“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.”
“Athena did a wonderful job watching our cat. Our home was spotless, she gave regular updates, and kept everything running smoothly. She even went above and beyond taking care of our chickens. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Vanderbilt Beach is $60

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!

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 $53.26 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 995 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
