I was skeptical about leaving our son while we went out of town. Being it’s our first time. After having the video chat with Sara I felt more at ease and knew Charlie would be in good hands. I am so happy and blessed I went with Sara. Kept me up to date with pictures and what Charlie did and didn’t do. I would highly recommend Sara n I will use her again. Thank you Sara 😘🙏

Rhokia is absolutely wonderful! I have a special needs dog with behavioral problems. I am very particular about who interacts and takes care of my dog Jax because of his special care needs. It can be stressful to take care of a medical dog and Rhokia has made me feel at ease. She is patient, reliable and very loving to Jax. She can handle his quirks and he is so happy when she comes to the house to take him on walks and to spend time together. Thank you for your support Rhokia! We are so happy you can care for Jax

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. I have experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs and routine. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is in good hands I work Monday - Friday during the day I have some Fridays off, but I’m available for pet care in the evenings and weekends. I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, and overnight care depending on the pet’s needs. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and giving pets attention will always be part of their routine while they’re with me. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, and routines. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure pets feel calm and secure in their environment while their owners are away.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that i actually love the whole job not only the cute parts. Im patient when it comes to puppies who are still learning and are very playful, gentle with older dogs who need a slower pace, and calm when pets are anxious and shy. Im great at following the routine like giving pets meds and sensing when something is “off”. Basically I treat every pet like theyre my own with lots of love and care. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is very open, which allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship as needed I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. At my home, I have a friendly cat and a fenced yard where pets can run around and play safely with supervision. I stick to their normal feeding and potty schedules, give them plenty of playtime and attention, and make sure they’re always comfortable. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so pets feel relaxed and at home. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care as instructed.

About: I’m new to professional dog sitting, but I’m extremely responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following care instructions exactly as requested. I understand how important routines, safety, and clear communication are when caring for someone else’s pet. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, leashed walks, basic care, and providing calm companionship. I take this responsibility seriously and will always prioritize your dog’s comfort and well-being. As an entrepreneur with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m home often, work from my phone, and enjoy building calm, consistent days that include walks, check-ins, and quality time with pets. I focus on caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow routines closely and treat each home with care and respect.

Very prompt, did well with my older, set-in-her-ways older dog; and made sure the young one got what she needed. Went the extra mile, when asked to put the young one in her crate when she left.

About: Hi, I’m Bianca! I grew up in a family of animal lovers and have cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and lizards. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to watch over their beloved pets whenever they needed an extra helping hand. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. When your pet stays with me, they will be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable, your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Welcome to Bianca’s Doggie Daycare, where your pup always comes first! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am an early riser who enjoys staying active and maintaining a structured schedule. I typically wake up around 4:00 a.m., work out, and go for a run before starting my day. Being active allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and engagement they need. I make it a priority to ensure every animal receives proper nutrition, plenty of playtime, affection, and cuddles. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and believe they thrive when they receive consistent care, love, and companionship. My routine allows me to be reliable, attentive, and fully committed to meeting each pet's individual needs. 🐾💕 I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for pets in my home. I follow each pet's regular feeding schedule, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Because I have a structured and active lifestyle, I am able to give pets consistent care and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to help them feel comfortable and secure. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering plenty of affection, cuddles, and a calm environment where they can feel happy and at home while their owners Are away!

About: I've been taking care of dogs for friends, family, and myself since I was 13. I've had rescues, older dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and puppies. I've done basic obedience training and potty training with small and medium sized dogs and I've also taken care of older foster dogs I'm currently in between jobs so I have plenty of free time to watch and play with your furry family. I'm home full time 7 days a week and I live with my two retired parents I have a fenced backyard so they can run and play to their hearts content without any outside worries. I don't currently have animals of my own. I have no problem with crating a dog if requested, but I prefer to let them roam and be in the same room as them to watch over and play with.

About: 🐶Before booking, please READ this:🐶 "I do not accept aggressive or jealous dogs." My policy is to maintain the most pleasant and responsible environment possible. I work with a lot of love and responsibility ❤️ Since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved animals and have always had dogs and other pets in my life. I have many years of experience working as a dog sitter, and I always treat each dog as part of my own family 💛 I have: • A large, clean space with an escape-proof yard • Dogs always supervised 24/7 + cameras • Games, fun, and treats (if parents allow) • Daily reports to owners with photos/videos. *Please take this into account: 1. I love dogs to play and have fun, but just like children, they can sometimes get rough and get minor scratches or bumps. If you'd prefer your dog not to have contact with others, just let me know, and I'll keep him separate for his safety and comfort. 2. I am not responsible for any illness or incidents with external allergies. Unfortunately, dogs can get sick and no one is to blame., *you can check the Rover guarantee published on their website* 3. Please keep your dog treated for fleas and ticks. 🟡 Dogs over 40 lbs: +$10” and over 60 lbs +$20” I hope you feel comfortable with me for your beloved furry pal’s stay.🐾🙌🤗 I have a big, fully fenced yard with plenty of toys where your dog can run, play, and have fun safely. Your dog will always be close to me and my family, receiving all the love and attention they deserve. I also have two very sweet daughters, ages 11 and 7, who adore dogs just as much as I do. They’ll be delighted to play with and give lots of cuddles to your furry pal. 🐾 I work from home, so I’m available all day to care for your pup. I also have security cameras to keep an eye on them when I step out of the room for a moment, and I have my own car in case of any emergency. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority.

Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She had great communication and told me when she was leaving and had arrived each time. She also gave me details of every visit, as well as many pictures. She also was very tentative to my elderly cats needs, including giving him medicine daily. She was very respectful of my house, and asked many questions to make sure that my cat was comfortable and had the best experience while I was gone. It was very evident that she truly cared about his needs, which means a lot to me because he’s like my child. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future.

About: Your home will be in better shape than when you left — guaranteed. I grew up surrounded by animals. Dogs, cats, the beautiful chaos of both. Pets weren't a hobby in my household; they were the heartbeat of every day. I recently said goodbye to Chiti, my 16-year-old dog. She taught me that presence is the greatest gift you can give a living being. That's the standard I bring into every home I care for. I'm a writer and coach who works entirely from home — which means your pet has near-constant human company all day, every day. No empty house. No pet waiting by the door alone. What you can expect from me: • Daily photos and updates — you'll feel like you never left • The same feeding times, walks, and rules your pet already knows • A calm, quiet environment (I meditate and practice yoga daily — animals notice immediately) • A spotless home when you return • Bilingual communication — English and Spanish I'm an experienced, verified house sitter with 5-star reviews from TrustedHousesitters, where I cared for homes and pets across multiple stays. I have my own transportation and treat every home I stay in with the same care I'd want for my own. Your home won't be empty. Your pet won't be lonely. And when you return, both will be exactly as you left them — just a little more loved. I serve the entire South Florida area with my own car: Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, and surrounding communities. I work from home full-time as a writer and coach — 100% flexible schedule, 7 days a week including holidays and overnights. I'm home almost all day, every day, which means your pet always has company. No rushing back between jobs, no leaving them alone for hours. I'm simply here. When caring for your pet in your home, I follow your routine exactly — same feeding times, same walks, same rules — so everything feels familiar and safe. I have no pets of my own, which is ideal for animals that do best in a calm, one-on-one environment. Doors and gates are always secured, pets are never left unattended in unfamiliar spaces, and I send daily photo and message updates. You'll always know your pet is safe — and your home is in good hands. I'm reliable, respectful, and treat every home as if it were my own.

About: De siempre me han gustado los animales y es por ello que he tenido el placer de cuidar de distintas especies. Y gracias al amor y buen cuidado que le doy a los míos, es que amigos y familiares me buscan para cuidar de los de ellos cuando tienen algo que hacer o vacaciones. Nada como estar rodeada de tan grata compañía como lo es el de los perros. Se ajusta a mi agenda a la perfección porque puedo estar en casa disponible para ellos mientras estudio o hago alguna actividad particular. Pueden disfrutar de todas las instalaciones de la casa. Sigo las instrucciones de su dueño y me ganó la confianza de cada uno de los peludos con paciencia y muchos cariños. Podemos jugar, ver películas o simplemente disfrutar de una siesta por las tardes.

Sara took the time to always make everything as clean and tidy as I want my pet to have. He’s not very sociable (18yo Cat) so she had to go hunting for him and took a picture every day. That made me feel like he was OK, eating and using the litter box. Thank you, Sara! Until next time (I’ve used Sara’s services before) as I definitely recommend her for taking good care of your beloved pets.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - West Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in West Park on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 7,171 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Park. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
