“Baily did a great job watching our 4 pets and home for a long weekend! She was very reliable and communicative, sending updates and pictures throughout our time away. Highly recommend - your pets will be in great hands”
“Paige was wonderful and fun for my 11 week old puppy! Zoe took right to her when she came in and did not whimper or whine when I left. Dogs, even little puppies, are your best just of who is a pet lover! Will hire her every time shes available.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog in our home with a sitter and we had a great experience with Michelle. She was a good communicator and cared for our dog per our instructions. Getting videos of Michelle playing with our dog gave us piece of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, and caring for them has been part of my daily life for over 10 years. I have hands-on experience with all aspects of pet care, including walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication, and keeping pets on their regular routines. Animals bring genuine joy to my life, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own — with patience, consistency, and plenty of love and attention. I am currently home full-time, so pet care is the center of my day rather than something I fit in around a job. I am available days, evenings, and overnight, and I keep my schedule flexible for your pet's routine. I love being active outdoors, so walks and playtime are built into every day. Your pet's safety comes first in my home. We have a spacious, calm home with a yard for play and sunbathing, and pets are supervised at all times. I follow your feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly as written, keep routines consistent, and send photo updates throughout the stay so you can relax and know your baby is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: For the past year I’ve been helping look after my partner’s five very rambunctious Australian Shepherds, and honestly, getting to know all their little quirks has been one of my favorite things. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me. I’m not working right now, But i currently attend Flagker College where i’m Majoring in Theatre Arts. In the morning, i usually have classes which is from 10 am all the way till 12-1. so for the time being I’ve got plenty of time to give your pet real, focused attention walks, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company. This isn’t just a side gig to me, I actually love it. I treat every home and every pet like they’re special, whether I’m sitting for one night or a whole week. I’ll stick to your routines, keep things clean and calm, and pay close attention to whatever each animal needs. I pick things up quick, and at the end of the day I just want your pet (and you) to trust me.
“What an amazing experience and person. Great communication and tons of pictures. Shasta was not only well cared for, she was super chill when we came home. No anxiety or stress, just happy. Have already booked 2 additional trips and many more to come. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and experience caring for family pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I love making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for! I’m available for walks and pet care after 4:30 PM on weekdays and have open availability all weekend! Whether your pup needs an afternoon walk, evening visit, weekend adventure, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. I strive to be dependable, flexible, and make every pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. 🐾 I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they’re at home! I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run, play, and burn off some energy. I’ll provide lots of attention, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and cozy downtime. Your fur baby will be treated like family!
About: Hey there, you can call me Bee! :) I've had a mix of animals my whole life, from goats and chickens and cats and dogs in my childhood, to my own small zoo today! I have three cats and a dog at home, and as a result I have experience handling multiple animal personalities and making sure they all feel safe and comfortable during transitions, such as going to the vet, meeting a new friend, etc. I love to walk and enjoy taking my dog along so she can really soak up the sun and burn off energy. I am available for early morning drop-ins, as well as fully available after 4pm during the week! Weekends are completely open. :) No matter how long or short the visit, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure their needs are met each time. I ensure that my home is a clean environment safe for pets at ALL times. This means no human food left unsupervised, no toxic plants, and no access to chemicals/medications/other no-nos. I also enjoy catering to pets' needs, whether that is hyper playtime or serene strolls!
“Terri was an absolute sweetheart with my dog Kip, I don’t think it’s possible to have found a better sitter than her considering how difficult the job was. Seriously all the other sitters that I talked to on this app were not capable of caring for her or outright did not want to but Terri was all about it and got the job done with no issues at all, I would highly recommend for any of your animal needs”
“Ashlyn was amazing! It was our first time leaving our baby and she made me feel so comfortable with picture updates throughout the day. Bodi was in the best hands and a happy boy the whole weekend.”
About: As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to choose the right people to help with your dogs need as well as your schedule! Allow me to help. I hope to talk with you soon! Your pets needs are my priority. It is important to help take care of your pup just as good as you do! I currently have open availability How you leave your home is how you will come home to it! I’m here to help keep your dogs schedule and routine as you’d like it.
About: I have been dog/house sitting for over 5 years, I am very dependable and trustworthy. I have 2 dogs of my own and have grown up with pets my whole life, making my love for animals pure. I have built relationships with all the families whose houses/animals I sit for and they have consistently used me as their go to sitter! Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I have flexibility with my serving job and am able to take off or adjust my schedule on days that I am pet sitting. This allows me to have open availability and dedicate the time and attention needed to provide your pet with great care while you’re away. I provide dog sitting in my clients’ homes and focus on making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I have been trusted by my current dog-sitting clients for over three years, and I also have dogs of my own that I care for every day. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I’m comfortable with different personalities, needs, and routines. I adapt to each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible, whether that means feeding times, walks, playtime, or simply giving them companionship, so they can feel at home and maintain their routine while their owner is away.
“Genevieve was great with our two elderly dogs. Our oldest had some health issues and Genevieve picked up medicine for her and applied and kept us updated with texts and photos. Dogs were happy and safe while we were away. Would highly Recommend her!”
“While I was away, I got updates and photos that showed how happy and relaxed my pups were—which gave me such peace of mind. It’s not easy for me to trust someone new with them, but Sophia went above and beyond to make sure they were safe, loved, and cared for. I can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for someone trustworthy, gentle, and reliable. We’re so happy to have found them and will definitely be booking again!”
“Jacksonville, we did you a massive solid by giving this site another chance and running into Tayler. To be honest, I kind of hate writing this because I know she’s going to get booked up, but she is simply too good not to praise. After a string of terrible experiences with other sitters on Rover (ranging from no-shows to theft and all the in-betweens), we were ready to give up on this site entirely. Then came Tayler. What an immediate game-changer! From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our fur babies were absolutely drawn to her positive energy. We have quite the wild pack...from an overactive puppy, a sweet, lazy senior dog, and a sassy but loveable cat. Tayler accepted the challenge and handled them all in a way only a seasoned expert could. She watched them for a few days while we were out of town and did great. She followed every instruction to the letter, kept us updated with photos, and left our house cleaner than she found it. Most importantly, our pets were incredibly happy and well-cared for when we got home. Tayler is the absolute best! Will book again. Please share her time...it's only fair since we found her and spread the word! 😂”
“I was hesitant to leave my babies with a stranger but Kayla is now family. She was obviously so good with them and sent me pictures and messages the entire time she was here, which gave me piece of mind. On our way home I informed her that she could leave at any time, but she wouldn’t go until she was sure she knew where our kitty was as he tends to wonder to the neighbors yard.”

Hailee took incredible care of our three pups while we went out of the country! She gave us frequent updates and photos, which we very much appreciated! We knew our fur babies were in great hands with her. She has been the best sitter we have had for our crew!
Fiona watched our two large dogs in our home for one night. We had a wedding to attend out of town and when our other sitter plans fell through she was able to meet with us and watch our dogs on short notice. She sent us lots of photos and kept our home clean. We highly recommend her and would book with her again!
This was our first time leaving our dog in our home with a sitter and we had a great experience with Michelle. She was a good communicator and cared for our dog per our instructions. Getting videos of Michelle playing with our dog gave us piece of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!
Katie is totally awesome and I would give her a 10 if allowed! Our fur baby loves her. She exercises her with walks, plays with her in the back yard and even chases her around the counter/hallway. She leaves Coco happy to have her here - so much so that Coco will look around the house after she has left hoping for her play pal. Cannot say enough good things about Katie. You will not go wrong to hire her to watch your pet and home.
Linda was an amazing dog sitter for our cocker spaniel. She was willing to stay in our home for a long weekend and keep our elder dogs routine. Surprising she coaxed our dog to visit the beach and take a surf side walk. When we returned our happy dog met us at the door and was full of stories as well as dogs can communicate. Linda was trustworthy and respectful in our home. We highly recommend Linda Kane.

FAQs for House Sitting - Vilano Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,014 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vilano 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 Vilano 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 Vilano 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 Vilano 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.
