“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: I have 3 years of veterinary medicine schooling from Purdue University. I also work as a veterinary assistant at Blair Animal Clinic. I am excited to meet your pup! I am willing to work with you and your schedule! I do require a slight notice but there are some days i can help out last minute! I have a fenced dog park as well as a motivation to be active for walks or runs! I am excited to meet your pup!
“Víctor was amazing! He communicated daily with updates and photos and followed all our instructions perfectly. We came home to happy pups and a tidy house. I would highly recommend and will definitely be requesting to rebook in the future.”
“My senior dog had special needs after having a heart surgery. I had my own medical procedures that needed attention as soon as possible. 2 1/2 months after my dog had his surgery it became apparent I needed to leave him with a dog sitter. I have never left my dog with a sitter and had heard the negative reviews of dog sitters experiences for longer stays like I needed of 10 days. Laurie was amazing! She followed all of my instructions to the letter. She made me feel very comfortable leaving him with her. He had all of his medications on time and she took him out sometimes every 3 hours as he requested. When I arrived home he was in better physical condition than when I left him and continued to heal and recover from his surgery under Laurie Fox care. I highly recommend this pet sitter. She sent me photos and messages and it was a very professional and comforting experience.”
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.
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: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs.From a young age, l've been passionate about providing love, attention, and proper care to furry friends. My daily work in veterinary medicine has further deepened my understanding of animal behavior. I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care and attention to your pet, whether it's administering medication or simply spending quality time together. My daily and weekly routine has taught me the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and compassion in pet care. As a pet sitter, l'll bring this same level of dedication and care to your pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away. I understand the importance of providing care to your pet while you’re away in the comfort of their own home. I provide regular updates to clients via phone, email, or text, including photos and videos. I maintain open communication with clients to ensure their pets receive the best care possible.
About: I’ve been trusted by family and friends to watch their pets for as long as I can remember because of the genuine love I have for them, I enjoy every second and it’s even nicer when you’re getting paid to do so. I work part time so I have plenty of time to play and snuggle with my own cat. I have more toys than I can count on my fingers and it’s safe to say he never goes hungry. I cherish my own cat more than any dollar amount could buy and I will apply the same love and care for your pets, and I’m confident they’ll enjoy my presence as well.
“Aaniya was an incredible dog sitter! She took wonderful care of our three dogs and kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. She is such a kind and thoughtful person—even going out of her way to buy more treats when we ran out. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and attentive to care for your pets, I highly recommend Aaniya!”
About: I will love your pet as if it’s my own. I adore (all) animals! I love their genuineness, loyalty and the joy they bring to our lives. I live here year round & work part time from home so I love the company of my dog! And my neighborhood has its own fenced in doggy park that we walk or golf cart to. My neighborhood dog park, walk, play in the house, dog beach if your dog likes that and you approve, as well as comfy and cozy down time
“This is our second time having Gabriela house sit for Finn. Once again she did an excellent job taking care of him (including giving daily medications) and left our home clean and tidy. We will use her again!!”
“Daisy had a wonderful day with Lucie! They had some great adventures walking and playing outside, and Daisy took to her right away! Lucie sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me updated. So glad!”
About: Hi, I’m Josie, and have been caring for animals for just about my entire life! At 14 years old I began volunteering at Domestic Animal Services. Through this I discovered my adoration for all types of animals, and since then have worked at dog kennels and veterinary offices. Through working at the vet I am also experienced in administering all sorts of medications, and have learned how to respond in the case of a health emergency. As a dog & cat owner myself, I know firsthand how important it is to find the right person who will treat your fur babies as their own! I am completely free on weekends, I do work a full time job during the week, depending on location may be able to go home & provide mid day care if needed! Unfortunately, due to my own dog not getting along well with other animals, I am only available to pet sit overnight at your own home. I am also able to do any other jobs that this would entail, such as getting the mail, taking trash in/out, etc.
“Edward was awesome with our black Lab! He was so happy and well taken care of while we were out of town. Edward also kept our house so clean and it was exactly as we left it! I highly recommend allowing Edward to watch your animals/house! Thank you so much!”

About: I’m a veterinary technician with hands-on experience from working in a shelter, caring for both dogs and cats of all temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from small breeds to large working dogs, as well as reactive, rescue, and more independent or “grumpy” pets. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets for years and have had dogs my whole life. I’m comfortable with routines, medications if needed, and reading animal behavior to keep your pet safe and stress-free. Happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away. I’m currently in school part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can accommodate daytime visits, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. As a veterinary technician, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and any specific needs your pet may have. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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
- 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.
