“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: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up in a family that raised poodles, and at one time we cared for as many as 22. I learned very young how to care for dogs and puppies, including helping with newborn litters. Throughout my life I have had dogs and treat everyone in my care as if they were my own. I enjoy walking, playing, cuddling and giving them plenty of individual attention. I am especially comfortable with puppies, small and medium dogs, and larger dogs. I am also happy to care for senior dogs and follow their established feeding, medication and daily routines carefully. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give your dog plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy walking, playing, cuddling and keeping dogs company, and I'm happy to follow the routine they are accustomed to at home. Puppies and senior dogs are especially welcome, and potty breaks and walks can be provided as often as needed. I care for dogs in their own home with the same attention and affection I have always given my own. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements and daily routines. Your dog's safety and comfort come first. I believe dogs are happiest when they feel secure, loved and cared for while their family is away.
“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!!”

“Jennifer is always prompt in responding and was prompt on arriving. The dogs were happy while she was here and the house was in great shape when we got home. Everything and everyone appeared to be well cared for!”

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.
“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!”

About: I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. Happy to keep your friends company and help with whatever needs they may have. I enjoy light grooming while also able to just drop in and check on your best friend. Working part time at a local restaurant, able to accommodate different schedules and needs. I am available for short/long walks, drop in visits, or fill in while your regular sitter is on vacation. I am available to schedule reoccurring daily/weekly visits as well. I will make sure your pet is well taken care of and most comfortable at your home while you get peace of mind with many photos and communication
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, I've owned, trained, and taken care of a loving 7-year-old Golden Retriever named Dexter since he was just 8 weeks old. I love to play, hangout and run around with dogs, I have experience taking care of family and friends dogs as well as CPR training (certified). I can't resist meeting new dogs when I'm on a walk or just out in public, I love to get to know pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting your fury friend/family members! I’m currently looking for work so as of now my schedule is completely open, just let me know what your needs and dates are and I’ll happily help with your dog(s). For overnight house sitting, I do need to be able to bring my well-behaved Golden Retriever with me. He’s friendly, socialized, and great with other dogs. I always make sure pets are comfortable first, and I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand. I’m a very clean/organized person and that follows everywhere I go. I make sure to leave things the way I found them and if the house is a mess from a wet day of walking I’d be sure to clean that up as well. I’m a no shoes in the house kind of person

About: Using my zeal for animals to help raise funds for my “Set Apart” ministry school and doctorate journey! I look forward to making your furry pet into my companion! I’m currently working and attending college part-time! Here’s my schedule: Mon- class from 6pm-7:45pm. Tues- class from 1:30-2:50pm. Wed-class from 6pm-7:45pm. Thurs- class from 1:30pm-2:50pm; work from 4pm-9/11pm. Fri- usually work; 8:30am-4:30pm. Sat- usually work; 8:30am-4:30pm. Sun- church, usually from 10pm-2pm (depends on if I am teaching preschool at all, or if I am teaching for 2 services or 1). *Please don’t be afraid to reach out with schedule questions—I try to make things work!!! I don’t have a home yet, so I currently offer client’s home services! It’s important that I know where pet non-negotiables are. I also make it personal to provide pet owners with occasional check-ups to ensure them of their fur baby’s satisfaction!

“Riley did a great job communicating with me during the stay. She sent me pictures everyday. She did a great job taking care of my two large dogs and we’re looking forward to future sitting.”

“Very professional and alert. Brutus started to get some eye discharge and Dannie let us know right away. She sent us times she fed the boys and pics of them playing outside. She even kept my floor clean when the dogs tracked in dirt from outside! As long as she wants to come back we would book her again!”


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’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m dependable, active, will always provide playtime, feeding, check ins, and plenty of attention. I also live to go on walks myself so they will definitely get to be outside and get their energy out! I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure owners receive updates while their pets are in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can make pet care fit easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and can work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I will always make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’ll follow and accommodate to any instructions you provide. Including feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I’ll keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and send updates so you know they’re safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and even reptiles since I was 9 years old. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and had my own pitbull as an adult. I have cared for dogs in every stage of their life from puppy to senior with extra needs being met. I have helped care for a house of 7 cats while living with a roommate as well. I have done several pet sitting jobs not acquired using an online service and have stayed in their homes to do so. I am extremely confident that you will love having me as a sitter and rehire me! Let me love on your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed and working on my dental hygiene license so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. As of right now, any days or times will work perfect for me. I cannot bring pets into my home but I would be more than happy to care for them in the comfort of their home or simply make visits.
“Haley was so great with my dog! She is attentive communicated well the entire time. It was nice knowing my girl was well cared for and loved while I was away. Will definitely book again!”

“We were hesitant at first for ANYONE to watch our girls since this was our first time using Rover. When we did a meet and greet, we wanted the girls to trust the person they would be seeing for a few days. We had our doggy cam and we saw how happy they would be with Elena at times playing and getting hugs. The pictures proved they enjoyed her presence and were being taken care of. We were happy with the effort and care she gave for our girls as a doggy lover and would book Elena again for future trips again.”


About: I have been a veterinary assistant for 2 years and studying to become a Veterinarian. Ive worked at clinics. Ive loved animals since I was very young, its a passion! I’m currently employed at a vet clinic therefore caring for your pets is a breeze and just as I enjoy my job I enjoy meeting new furry friends! I have many tools in case of emergencies that I know how to use thanks to my veterinary experience and a big 2.4 acre fenced yard for plenty of room!

“Rebecca is amazing and so thorough asking questions to know exactly what your fur baby needs. I felt completely at ease while I was gone for the week, knowing she was so well cared for. My sweet girl got all the love, attention, play time and care that she needed. Rebecca also kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and texts to let me know just how much fun they were having and how well she was doing. Hands-down best experience and I absolutely will be using her again! Thank you, Rebecca for the awesome experience! Lula misses you already!!”

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.

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.
<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 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!

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 .
