“I was so nervous about using Rover for the first time but Deborah was so nice and understanding. She sent me the cutest pictures and videos of my baby to let me know exactly what was going on everyday. She also went above and beyond and got my mail for me, took beretta for walks, and even cleaned the living room for me to return home. I could not recommend her more to anyone else!!”

About: As an animal lover, I’ve had the joy of caring for many pets beyond my own over the years! I’ve worked as a dog sitter, walker, and medication manager, and I continue to care for the pets of family and friends. As a medical student and future physician, I’m passionate about providing thoughtful, reliable care for your fur baby. I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, and hopefully squeeze in plenty of cuddles along the way! My current medical school schedule is relatively flexible as I’ve completed most of my electives and am approaching graduation. While I’ll begin a new rotation each month, I expect to have plenty of availability to accommodate your family’s needs. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, consistent care for your pets! For dog walks, I prioritize your pup’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding leash preferences, walking routes, pace, and any special needs. I always keep dogs securely leashed, stay alert to their surroundings, and avoid situations that may make them uncomfortable. I’ll also make sure they have fresh water and are safely settled back home before I leave. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own!

“Alyssa has been amazing with our one year old German Shepherd. He’s very sensitive and needs some patience, TLC, and understanding. Alyssa has a calming energy matched with leadership and good animal intuition that our GSD has responded remarkably quickly to. Alyssa came over for a meet n greet - took the time to learn his quirks, training, and personality then came over again for a one on one walk. Our GSD runs away, barks, and hides when new people try to clip his leash but she sent a pic twenty minutes later on a walk with him. We were not only impressed with her care, demeanor, and skill but also extremely grateful/relieved to have found a sitter like Alyssa. Highly recommend her for all dog sitting needs and breeds!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets through my life- dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, even bunnies. I am a foster mom with experience fostering young kittens, administering medications, and giving them a safe space to grow. I currently have some days off during the week, so I have some extra time to provide pet care! I am also available on the weekends. I care for pets in their own homes in addition to house sitting! I can spend the night or pop in throughout the day according to your preference.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys! From owning a tiny Maltese to gentle giant Great Pyrenees, (as well as a rescue Pit Bull puppy who was completely covered in mange - I personally nursed her back to perfect health) we rescued off the street with a special rescued Beagle in the mix, I’ve loved getting to know dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Big or small, fluffy or fabulous, they all have a special place in my heart! 🐕💕 I’m also a lifelong cat lover who has rescued and cared for countless cats and kittens over the years. Whether your fur baby loves playtime, enjoys long walks, is a professional cuddler, or simply wants a little quiet company, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Every pet has their own unique personality, and I can’t wait to discover what makes yours so special! 🐈💖 As a proud Fort Lauderdale native, I’d absolutely love to meet you and your precious fur babies! Your pets will be treated like family, spoiled with affection, and cared for with all the love and attention they deserve.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always grown up with at least one dog in my home. Over the past four years, I’ve fostered five cats and two dogs, giving me experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I’ve also owned a cat with diabetes, so I understand the importance of being attentive and patient with pets who require extra care and a consistent routine. I grew up riding and being around horses, and throughout college I volunteered at a local animal shelter. I truly love animals of all kinds and will treat every pet with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I’m currently post-grad and have a very flexible schedule while I figure out my next career steps. I’m looking to spend some of my extra time doing something I genuinely love, which is being around animals! I’m very available throughout the week and am happy to accommodate different schedules and your pet’s specific routine. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I will always treat your home and your animals with respect and care. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules, walking instructions, or special care needs you provide. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Wilton Manors

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wilton Manors is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $26 per visit. 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 7,379 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wilton Manors. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
