“Grim and Solaire were extremely well looked after and Cheyenne was very flexible with meeting us prior to sitting, following the cats routine (even despite the 4am wakeups) and keeping us updated during the stay. We will definitely be having Cheyenne cat sit for us again!”

About: I've personally had and cared for a variety of pets my whole life. From a variety of dogs and cats of various breeds and sizes, to guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, snakes, lizards, fish, ferrets and limited experience with farm animals. I have a senior dog who is special needs and cannot walk. I especially love to take him on walks in his stroller and swim with him for exercise. Comfortable giving medication and following all pet parents directions. I have open availability to fit all scheduling and care needs. Appointments can be booked in advance or same day if needed. Pets are my only focus! I have a fenced in yard for your pets to play in and a pool if they love to swim! There is plenty of space in my 3 bedroom home if they need to relax alone, have crate time or they can play with my two friendly dogs. I have one 7 year old lab mix with lots of energy and a senior shitzu that is friendly and calm with special physical needs. There are no children or other pets in this home. Non smokers.

“Allison is an absolutely amazing doggie sitter! I just moved to the area recently and had to find someone last minute to watch my girls for the weekend while I was out of town. Allison came through! I really appreciate her coming by the day before to meet the girls and to take note of everything. I asked for her to check on the girls a few times a day, but otherwise at night they would be fine alone, because once they go to sleep for the night, they are passed out until morning. She text me every morning when she arrived and let me know how the girls were. She stayed quite a few hours each visit giving the girls plenty of love and attention, even though they even sleep a lot during the day lol. She sent me plenty of photos while I was away so I could see the girls having fun. Once she was done for the evening she would message me again letting me know the girls were good and she had locked up for the night. Her watching my girls made me feel at ease while I was away. I definitely think my girls had a blast and really enjoyed their time with Allison, so much so, the last photo she took of them when she said her goodbyes, I could see them pouting seeing that she was leaving. That’s how I know they really liked her, since they were sad to see her go. I think I have found my forever go to dog sitter. I would highly recommend using her if you need a kind, loving, and attentive person to take care of your fur babies while you’re away! 10 out of 10 would recommend and will definitely be rebooking for my next trips! Thank you again Allison for being so amazing with the girls!”

“For us, leaving our dogs with someone feels like leaving actual children. How much we are able to enjoy being away all depends on how well the pups are taken care of. We can say enough good about Dominique and how much she loved our little family. We have 3 dogs (including a pitbull) and Dominique was communicative with photos multiple times a day, updates and the dogs loved her gentle spirit. The house was clean when we got home and I'm pretty sure my Chihuahua Doug was upset he couldn't keep her. ❤️”

About: I have been periodically dog sitting for family friends for about the last six years. I have experience with cats as well. I know how to feed, let out, walk, play with, administer medication to and clean up after both dogs and cats. I also really enjoy the job and helping people out in general. I am currently in flight school, so my schedule is all over the place. However, I have a lot of time that I do not need to be on campus/at the airport. I am on a block style schedule so the days of the week I am "on" shift and rotate a bit, but I am more than happy to work out what's best if you reach out. I will always treat your home as if it was my own. I take great care of my home and I wouldn't dream of bringing any harm to yours.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, Rabbits, sugar gliders. Young, old, special needs. I do it all. I believe pets are like children, they love to learn. I am recently retired so I can devote as much time as needed for your furry ( not so furry) babies. A lot of love to give. I prefer to sit in the clients home as I feel the pet will be less nervous or anxious in familiar surroundings. I like the pet to get to know me in their own time. Trust is earned.

About: I've been animal sitting since I was very young, have never had a home without a pet, have raised, trained, sat, and taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have been relied on for years by friends, family, neighbors, local community members, colleagues, and even friends of friends to care for and watch over their fur babies. I have even been flown out of state to watch over pets of a employer because of how much trust they had in me. I sent frequent photos and updates so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing! I currently work as a Door Dash delivery driver so I choose my hours and will not take any orders if I have a pet in my care, I can stay home and put all my focus on taking care of your pet 24/7!

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, but currently, am a mom to 3 of them, so I know a thing or two… from >5 lbs to 100… I got you! I’ve been dog sitting for others for almost 5 years now, and actually just spent the last few months volunteering at a local Vet’s office… so I know doggy CPR now if needed! Call/message me and I can be there ASAP! Monday, Tuesday, whenever, I got you ! I’m sure we can work something out !! 🩷 🐾 I don’t offer services in my home, since my dogs are veeeery jealous when another is around to steal all the back scratches and belly rubs, but I can guarantee that they don’t mind when i get out of the house for a few hours 🤣 In your home, I promise to provide a nurturing environment, with the same structure and routine you’d force if you were there. Whether it’s overnight or two weeks, I’ll love on your animals like they’re my own!

We recently had the good fortune of having Melissa C. take care of our two pets Pippa & Mia while we were out of town! She not only handled the day to day with the utmost professionalism but when our little minature dachsund was diagnosed with a severe medical condition two days before we left she accepted the additional responsibility without hesitation! While we were gone Pippa developed complications with her condition and Melissa had to take her to our Vet and then give her the added care she needed until we could get home. Throughout the seven days that we were gone Melissa went above & beyond in caring for Pippa and Mia. Even though Pippa required additional attention, Melissa also took the time, with patience and love to slowly & gently win the trust of our shy kitty Mia! Knowing that both our four-legged family members were in such, patient, loving and caring hands meant more to us than words can say! On behalf of Pippa & MIa...Thank you Melissa! Kate Powers

FAQs for House Sitting - Vero Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Vero Beach is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $111 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.

As of November 2026, there are 586 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vero 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 Vero 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 Vero 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 Vero 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.

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.
