“Anna was great with our dog, Charlie! She was always in communication with us with pictures and updates on how Charlie was doing. We would love to have her again when we are looking for a reliable sitter for Charlie and our home.”
“Sean and my boys hit it off right away. It’s so fortunate I am able to travel and feel comfortable with who has my boys and living in my home. Not once did I worry. Every day I got a picture of my boys in different locations of our home and I had NO worries. Thank you Rover.com and thank you Sean.”

“Victor was so wonderful with our pups. He sent plenty of pictures and updates. They are seniors and take a decent amount of medication, which was no issue at all. They obviously were very comfortable with Victor right away and cuddled right up to him. He even put a relaxing doggy channel up on the tv when he left. So cute! We will definitely be working with Victor again.”
“Sarah is the best! She has been so good with our dogs and so reliable. She sent updates throughout our trip, left our house spotless and made sure both pups were so well cared for. It’s so nice having complete peace of mind when we’re out of town. Could not recommend her enough!”
“Juliana was amazing. She took great care of our two dogs and cat and when our trip was extended for 3 days due to weather delays she stepped in and extended her care with joy. Will definitely be using Juliana again.”
“Ana was amazing! She was very responsive and sent many updates daily. Our little guy loved her so much!! She accommodated him so well. Senior dogs need more attention and we are so happy we found Ana!!! Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, everything from large breeds to pugs, and now French Bulldogs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, with a strong focus on medical and special-needs care. For over a year, I helped care for my Frenchie, Lupe, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. This involved close monitoring, medication management, and adjusting daily routines as her needs changed. I’ve also rescued and rehabilitated Huggies, a Frenchie who was unable to use her back legs, supporting her mobility, comfort, and confidence throughout her recovery. I’m patient, attentive, and very intentional about following care instructions—especially for dogs who need extra support. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every dog like family. Pet care is a priority in my routine. I’m available for multiple drop-in visits throughout the day, and after 6pm on weekdays I can stay for longer periods to make sure your pets have company, get walked, and feel settled. I’m also available for extended care on weekends. I’m especially attentive to maintaining consistent routines for pets who need extra support, including those with medical needs, and I provide thoughtful updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Because I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, I prefer to provide care in my client’s home. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. I’m very mindful of safety and comfort in each home, following care instructions closely, keeping pets secure, monitoring for any changes in behavior, and making sure their space is clean and calm. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.
“I was very nervous as this was my first time using DogVacay and had never left my girls with anyone but family. Stacey was wonderful. She sent me updates on how my girls were doing along with several photos. In addition, my house was spotless when I returned. Excellent service. I highly recommend Stacey!”

About: I’ve had animals and have been helping take care of animals all my life. With recently losing a dog it brings me so much joy to be able to help others as well as having a temporary buddy. I recently moved to the area and am still in search of work so that means my days are free. When I secure a job I will be working 5-6 hours in the evening during the week. I have a small fenced area as well as a dog park in my apartment complex. I have an extra-large crate if needed for boarding as well.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life growing up! From childhood family pups to my cute yorkie terrier Gio, I’ve always been around to either care for another family member’s dog, care for close friends’ dogs as well, to making sure Gio’s tail is always wagging. From having smaller pups in our family home, to even helping walk the neighbors’ Great Dane growing up, dogs have always been a part of my life, and will continue being so! I am eager to work with some of the best clients ever and making sure all dogs I have the privilege of caring for continue staying happy and healthy. I’m currently a full-time student at Florida Gulf Coast University and live in on-campus housing. Tuesdays through Thursdays are my busiest days of the week. However, I will be sure to routinely update my Rover calendar in my profile! Additionally, with advanced notice, I am flexible with days/times of the week :) Due to living in on-campus housing, I am unfortunately unable to bring your pets into my home. Additionally, I would not want pets in general to be in a dorm environment! The best way for me to care for your fur friends would be setting up a day and time you’d like me to care for your pet in your lovely home. From there, we can coordinate any other potential logistics! I am more than happy to work with you in finding the best/soonest date to find care for your pets- advanced notice is highly preferred, but not necessary!
About: I have a large home with a great walking trail around a pond behind our home. We are super pet friendly and would love to watch yours! My husband and I both work from home so they won’t be alone. We also have a pool if they like to swim! I would love to entertain, love on, and take care of your dog! We both work from home so they will have someone with them and plenty of supervision throughout day and night. If they need someone to sleep with them that is no issue as we have a suite downstairs to use for that. We offer boarding, drop in/doggie daycare services. If they need their space we can accommodate that too. We have five bedrooms and I can also have them with me in my office.
About: I have cared for several animals growing up. Dogs and cats were primarily overnights. I have experience with training dogs, everywhere from puppies to older dogs. I have trained dogs to do basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down, stop, roll over, paw, shake, and more. I enjoy playing fetch and living an active lifestyle which translates to how I care for animals. I believe they should have an active life as well. I would enjoy taking the dogs for long walks or having playtime at the beach. I can offer a light grooming service after so there isn’t sand carried through their fur. I can also provide some training for puppies if desired. I love all breeds and hope to have a dog of my own one day.
About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them! Since I was a kid I grew up loving animals and having my own. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had experience dog walking and house sitting for a wide variety of breeds, including Huskies, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, and many more! From energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to laid back dogs who just want some love and companionship, I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. Animals truly have a special place in my heart, and I treat every dog I care for with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. ❤️🐾 I have a flexible schedule and am open to whatever needs your pet has. I am currently taking a break from my career as a therapist, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to caring for animals! I am available throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, some playtime, or extra companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I treat every pet like my own, carefully follow their routines and care instructions, and provide a safe, loving environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind!
“I can't recommend Christine enough—she's an absolute dream of a pet sitter! From the moment we met for the initial greet, my two dogs were wagging their tails like crazy, and I knew they’d be in great hands. During my trip, Christine sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos of my dogs playing and enjoying her company. Christine’s communication was top-notch—quick responses to my random check-ins. If you're looking for someone who treats your fur baby like their own, book Christine now. I’ll definitely be repeat client!”
About: I am a college student missing my dogs back home, so I decided to become a dog walker on Rover. I have always had dogs growing up and started dog walking and dog sitting about five years ago. I love all dogs and I am qualified to take care of them with my experience. I dog watch about every two weeks and dog walk every weekday in the past, since I moved I am looking to get back into the routine. I am pretty flexible in my hours and I am willing to work with you. All of my clients have all been satisfied with my services and gave me great feedback and recommendations. If you ever need me to do anything additional from dog walking I will be more than happy to. I’m excited to meet you and your pets! I am currently in college and have pretty open availability. Tuesdays and Thursdays are booked for mid-day walks. I am usually available on the weekends. I will make sure to take care of your dogs needs, spend a little extra time with them playing with them if that is the best fit for them. I will always make sure they are safe and happy.
“Ava has such a beautiful kind spirit. Her care and compassion for animals is immediately evident and much appreciated. I enjoyed the communication while Ava stayed with my Elvis and Roo. Dependable and hardworking! Will definitely book with Ava again in the future.”
“Great new friend to your fur babies. Toni communicated well and took great care of our very spoiled dogs. She accepted the mission to keep our family safe and secure, which means both dogs in her lap 😊. She sent a bunch of pictures and took great care of our home, while we were away. The dogs enjoyed long walks and lots of attention. We will definitely use Toni for future trips, when the dogs can’t go.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vanderbilt Beach
Virginia has now watched our dog Zella twice in the past month and took great care of her and our home. We highly recommend her and were so grateful that she was able to care for our baby at the last minute. It was such a relief to know our pet was so well cared for.
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!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Vanderbilt Beach is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $89 per night.

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 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.
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
- 94% 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.
