“Dream scenario— we had a young pup and older dog full of energy and Kaitlyn managed both like a dream. Excellent communications and made it a stress free experience, we’ve never had an in home sitter before. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Not sure I can say enough great things about Jackson. What an absolute joy it was to have Jackson at the house with our dog (Ryder). The communications and pictures provide by Jackson truly put us at ease while we were on holiday. I think Jackson and Ryder are buddies for life. Look forward to reaching out to Rover to schedule Jackson again soon! Thank you.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for the past 5 years now. At some points caring for 4 cats or 3 cats and 1 dog at a time. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs that need extra care and medical attention. I am empathic and nurturing and love to care for animals. I have had up to 3 cats of my own and I can provide references from previous experiences providing pet care. I am currently open and flexible, so I will have plenty of time and undivided attention to dedicate to your pets and make sure they are well cared for. I offer a meet and greet, I follow instructions closely and maintain communication throughout, I maintain routine and provide comfort, I exercise and play and overall respect the home, rules, and preferences provided.
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.
“Lin was amazing at caring for our dog while we were away! I had to book last minute and she was able to take care of everything for us. You can really tell that she cares for dogs. She was great with communication and sending updates also. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from riding horses to having dogs as part of the family. I regularly help care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, whether through daily walks, pet sitting, or just giving them some extra attention when needed. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like my own. My schedule is pretty open right now! I’m happy to play with your pup until 7 PM, give them walks, attention, and plenty of love. care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable. I don’t take pets to my house, and I always keep a close, consistent eye on them to ensure their safety and well-being.
“Samantha was a wonderful sitter for both our pets and our home. We have never left our pets with a sitter before, and she came over and spent time with them beforehand, making sure they felt comfortable with her. She managed two dogs and one cat, with two of those pets being on different medications (both oral and injected) with no issues. She sent tons of updates and checked in with us constantly! She left our house very clean and followed every instruction we gave her. We are thankful we found her! I would definitely hire her again.”
“Morgan was so great!! She watched our 9 month old pug for a whole weekend while we were away for a wedding and we felt so comfortable and happy with her! She sent updates and took great care of our pup and our home! She left the house clean and tidy and kept our angel happy! Thank you, Morgan!”
“Lisa did a great job with my two dogs on their very first time staying with a sitter overnight. They were scared and anxious, but she made them comfortable and feel safe so they were able to warm up to her! Also, you’ll get lots of pics which was very appreciated!”
“Cheryl is an absolute angel of a woman!! We were so anxious to leave our two very sensitive dogs for the first time and she could not have put us more at ease. She was highly communicative providing updates the entire time and put in so much effort with making our dogs feel comfortable and happy. Will 100% rebook again!!”

I am a a recent graduate at University of Mississippi and I am currently in graduate school at FAU. I have a very flexible schedule! I will follow any introductions given at request! Me personally with my dogs I take them out morning and evening, sometimes during the day if i’m home. My family uses a crate during the day for my younger dog but everyone has different rules.
“We had the pleasure of having Marvin take care of our dogs while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Marvin is a responsible, kind, and trustworthy young man who truly cared for our pets as if they were his own. He kept us updated, made sure they were well cared for, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved him! We highly recommend Marvin to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I enjoy caring for animals and playing with them. I regularly watch my sisters, Rottweiler and Pitsky mix. I grew up with dogs, love their company!! I’m currently looking for new opportunities. Looking forward to meeting the doggies and puppies and creating a bond !! Happy to help out when needed! Will follow any lists or rules by owner, I do have a fence backyard, can take them out on leash if it’s more comfortable for the owner.
“Stephanie took such great care of our dogs while we were away! She was attentive to all of their special needs and gave them lots of love. We so appreciated the thorough and detailed regular updates!”
“Micheal was fantastic from the first point of contact . Communication was excellent before caring for Holly and Kobe and during the time they were in his care. Micheal ensured he had all the information he needed to care for Holly and Kobe . He took the time to get to know them before we went away . Whilst we was on holiday Micheal would send daily updates with photos. We did not have to worry about Holly and Kobe whilst on holiday as we knew they were being well cared for . We had two happy dogs on our return from holiday and they have not sulked with us for the first time for leaving them !”

“Caylee was perfect for my Freaky cat. She is communicative, friendy, sent pictures and a pleasure to work with. Felt 100% comfortable staying in my home and will reach out to her for any future engagements we have. The only thing is you have to check with me first to make sure I don't need her. LOL. Also. Freaky was in good spirits when we returned and has not a hint of his usual attitude.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Palm Beach
Ketlie was/is wonderful! We returned home after a 10 day trip, and our dog Shine was happy and healthy, and our home was in perfect shape. Shine took to Ketlie immediately, and unlike with some previous sitters, didn't show any signs of anxiety or neglect upon our return. Ketlie's easy going personality, together with her clear understanding as to how to properly care for a pet, and our return to a spotless home all lead to our hope that she will be available for our future trips. Five star satisfaction, without a doubt!
Susana was absolutely wonderful with Ryder! She took such loving and thoughtful care of him while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She was attentive, caring, and truly treated Ryder like her own. We are incredibly grateful and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet.

Siddonie did an absolute AMAZING job taking care of our german shepherd, Luna! Our previous sitter cancelled the DAY OF our cruise while we were already boarding the ship so I was panicking, but Siddonie was able to drop everything and take care of our sweet girl. Luna is very shy and has a hard time eating her food right away, but Siddonie made her comfortable enough to get her to eat and I am so thankful. I would definitely rebook Siddonie in the future!!
Ashley was great! She sent pics each day we were gone. Followed all instructions and the boys loved her just as much! When she came to do the 'meet and greet' she brought a little sack of treats and they boys just followed her around! Her communication was great and the house looked just as it did when we left! We already have her booked for another weekend!! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Palm Beach is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $84 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.

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 Palm 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 West Palm 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 West Palm 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.
