About: I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and lots of supervision. In a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all care instructions exactly while keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, or companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I make sure every pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve while keeping their routine as consistent as possible.

“Nicole is awesome! An absolute angel. She took great care of my fur babies while staying at my house and caring for my senior dog. It is not easy to care for my senior dog but Nicole went about and beyond to make sure she got the care and attention she needs. I would absolutely book Nicole again in the future and will recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

About: Growing up owning a dog (mini schnauzer) and now a cat, I was able to learn all of the important things that go along with pet care from a young age. As a Girl Scout, I spent countless hours volunteering my time at the humane society. I enjoyed my afternoons showing those lovely animals all my love and affection. I was looking for a job to do over the summer before college and discovered Rover! I am a huge animal lover and am free to watch any of your cute loveable pets any day of the week! I just graduated Harvard University and am available during my gap year to watch your pets in the Miami area. I will treat all of your pets with the upmost love and care. Spending time with animals is something that brings me so much joy!

About: I grew up with 3 dogs and 4 cats. My oldest dog had a stroke and I had to learn all about the recovery process and help him through that. I also have puppy training experience with my youngest dog. I have fostered 12 cats and one of them being completely blind. I am very well equipped for any dog or cat that needs pet care. I am currently in school but my classes are online so my schedule is extremely flexible and open depending on when I get notified of any jobs that may need to be done. I take my dogs on walks twice a day and love playing with dogs and cats. I have no problem with crate training or any training that might be needed.

About: As a dog sitter, what sets me apart is my extensive experience and caring for dogs of all ages. I have been providing excellent pet care services I was 11 years old. I have the patience for looking after puppies and I provide gentle care for senior dogs. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for all the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive the individual attention and specialized care they need. My dedication to providing top-notch care and my unique skills truly set me apart from other sitters.

In my home, I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment for all the pets in my care. I ensure that the space is pet-friendly, with no hazards or potential dangers.

Additionally, I make sure to give each pet individual attention and affection, catering to their specific needs and routines.

About: I’ve always been a helping hand when it comes to caring for pets, and family and friends have trusted me to watch their dogs whenever they needed someone reliable. I’m dependable, communicative, and adapt well to different pets and environments even snakes! Joining Rover felt like the perfect opportunity to provide that same level of care to pet owners outside of my own circle. I’m currently working part-time, so I have flexibility in my schedule to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I’m available for pet sitting and boarding on weekends, as well as weekdays before 4 p.m. My schedule may adjust once school starts, but I’ll always make sure to communicate my availability clearly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines and any instructions they provide. I make sure pets are fed, have access to water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and are taken outside or given opportunities to use the restroom as needed. I’m very attentive to their needs and will communicate with the owner if anything seems unusual or if they need anything extra.

About: ❤️ PRIVATE, PERSONALIZED PET CARE! 🌴 A large, fenced in grassy yard right on the boardwalk, with beach access too! 😎🐾 🐾 ONE FAMILY AT A TIME! For boarding and daycare, I only welcome pets from one household. No mixing with unfamiliar pets! Dog walks are private too. Have multiple pets? They’re all welcome together! ❤️ 24/7 SUPERVISION! Your pet will NEVER be left alone during their stay. I’ll personally care for your little one. With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m extremely knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. I even started studying to become a veterinarian because animals have always been such a big part of my life! ❤️ SAFETY IS MY PRIORITY! My home is pet safe for dogs and cats. I’m meticulous about doors, windows, plants, cleaning products, and anything that could put curious paws at risk. I avoid harsh household chemicals and stay especially alert during walks and outdoor activities. 🐾 YOUR PET’S ROUTINE MATTERS! I follow your instructions carefully, especially regarding food, treats, allergies, medications, and special needs. No unnecessary changes to their diet or routine! I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets and those needing extra attention. I have pet strollers for older pets and can help with medication, baths, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and other basic grooming using your preferred products. I’ve always had a special connection with animals. This isn’t just a job to me. I genuinely LOVE what I do! Every pet has their own personality, little habits, and needs, and I take the time to understand them. 📸 PLENTY OF PHOTOS & VIDEOS! I’ll keep you updated as often as you’d like, without overwhelming your phone. You’ll always know how your little one is doing! My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. ❤️ I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! ❤️ Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and I love being able to spend quality time with them. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, drop in visits and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs lots of attention, regular walks, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to work around their routine and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. ❤️ My home is clean, calm and comfortable and I do everything I can to make pets feel safe and welcome. I’m always mindful of doors, windows, and their surroundings. I also have no plants and use only pet safe products. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect as my own. I follow your instructions carefully and pay attention to all the little details that make your pet feel comfortable. I’m also very attentive to animal behavior and can recognize when a pet is nervous, uncomfortable, or needs a little extra reassurance. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well being always come first.

Mercedes and Andreina were absolutely fantastic pet sitters! They were professional from the very beginning, taking the time to complete a thorough meet-and-greet and carefully note all of our specific instructions for caring for our dog and cat. Throughout their stay, they provided daily updates with beautiful pictures and thoughtful details about our pets’ routines. They were friendly, loving, attentive, and diligent, and they made us feel completely confident that our pets were in wonderful hands. They were also very responsive to our texts and always replied promptly. They took excellent care of our home as well. Everything was left immaculate—there was no trace that anyone had stayed there! They are bilingual in English and Spanish, which is an added bonus. We were especially touched by the beautiful thank-you card they left, complete with pictures documenting our pets’ special “camp.” The stickers for the Cat Mom and Dog Mom were such a thoughtful and adorable touch! Mercedes and Andreina truly became like family to us. They were highly recommended by our neighbors, and we are so glad we found them. We will absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to other pet parents. Thank you, Mercedes and Andreina, for taking such wonderful care of our pets! ¡Mercedes y Andreina fueron unas cuidadoras de mascotas absolutamente fantásticas! Desde el principio fueron muy profesionales: se tomaron el tiempo para hacer una reunión inicial detallada y anotaron cuidadosamente todas nuestras instrucciones específicas para el cuidado de nuestro perro y nuestro gato. Durante su estadía, nos enviaron actualizaciones diarias con fotos hermosas y detalles muy atentos sobre la rutina de nuestras mascotas. Fueron amables, cariñosas, atentas y muy responsables, y nos hicieron sentir completamente tranquilos al saber que nuestras mascotas estaban en excelentes manos. También respondieron rápidamente a nuestros mensajes. Además, cuidaron nuestra casa de maravilla. ¡La dejaron impecable; no había ninguna señal de que alguien hubiera estado allí! También son bilingües, ya que hablan inglés y español, lo cual es una ventaja adicional. Nos conmovió especialmente la hermosa tarjeta de agradecimiento que dejaron, acompañada de fotos que documentaban el “campamento especial” de nuestras mascotas. ¡Las calcomanías para la mamá del gato y la mamá del perro fueron un detalle muy tierno y considerado! Mercedes y Andreina realmente se convirtieron en parte de nuestra familia. Nuestros vecinos nos las recomendaron mucho, y estamos muy felices de haberlas encontrado. Sin duda volveremos a contar con sus servicios y las recomendamos ampliamente a otros dueños de mascotas. ¡Muchas gracias, Mercedes y Andreina, por cuidar tan maravillosamente de nuestras mascotas!

She was absolutely amazing with my Joey and Venus! She was so caring, patient, and attentive, and she even took the time to work on training with both of them. Venus can be shy around new people, so having someone who understood her and was patient with her meant so much to me. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for all the love and effort she put into caring for them. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter! ❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - West Little River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in West Little River is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 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 October 2026, there are 4,117 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Little River. 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 West Little River 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 West Little River 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 West Little River 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 West Little River. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
