“Rachel was awesome!! She took great care of my kitties and always gave updates and took pictures of both of them, even the one who likes to hang out behind the couch lol.”
“Kristen was wonderful with Philly! She was very attentive, sent great pictures and updates during both visits, and spent lots of time playing with him. She seemed genuinely caring and comfortable with him, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with Kristen again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have had the joy of raising my own dogs from puppies for the past 7+ years and my cats from kittens for 4+ years! Caring for them has taught me how important patience, attention, and lots of love are. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! ❤️ I’m currently taking my classes online, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m able to dedicate lots of time to feeding, playing with, checking in on, and caring for your pets. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m careful with doors, feeding schedules, litter boxes, and playtime, and I always respect each pet’s personality, boundaries, and your home.
“Dylan was so amazing with my cats! He kept such good care of them and went above and beyond! My babies warmed right up to Dylan and they had so much fun playing with him. Will most definitely rebook!”
“Lexus was very professional and friendly. She helped calm our nerves by coming to our house to meet our dog and talk with us about expectations. Lexus was always on time and kept us updated with photos and reports. Shiloh loved her!! We will definitely be booking her again in the future! Thank you, Lexus!”
About: I’ve taken care of family and roommate pets over the last year and a half. I have one pet of my own I have raised since a puppy. I am a compassionate and kind animal lover that enjoys providing pets with enriching experiences. I am a full-time graduate student, but have availability to take care of pets all day on Tuesdays, and Thursday- Sunday. I am flexible for daily and weekly pet routines. I provide fun and enriching experiences for my own dog, and family dogs I have watched. I am comfortable crating, feeding, and reinforcing basic training commands for pets. I love taking dogs on long walks to enrich their lives through smell and exercise.
About: Hey there! I'm Katie, a current sophomore at UCF studying business as a pre-dental student. I have been the primary caretaker of the family dogs ever since I was 12 - walking, training advanced skills, feeding, washing, catching them when they run out. I am an active volunteer at Save a Life pet rescue and handle puppies and adult adoptees on a regular basis, as well as cleaning pools/kennels and LOTS of potty accidents...! I am a forever animal lover and wish nothing but the best for every fur baby out there. I am eager to gain more experience with different personalities and types of dogs; thank you for choosing me to have the privilege of caring for yours! I am a full-time student at UCF and involved in clubs, as well as working part-time and getting my volunteer hours in whenever I can. I can adjust my schedule to be around full-time if needed, as long as I have at least two weeks notice. I am almost always available in mornings and evenings, and I will always strive to prioritize your pup’s needs! As a perfectionist and dog lover, you will never have to worry about your pup getting enough attention! I promise to follow every detail you provide and keep your environment cleaner than it was found.
“Veronica went above and beyond caring for our senior dog Harley. We were in need of a sitter due to a last minute trip for a family emergency, Veronica was so accommodating and kept us at ease knowing our dog was left in great hands. We cant thank her enough for her thoughtful updates and photos throughout her drop-in visits with Harley. We would highly recommend Veronica and will be booking with her in the future!”
“Mindy and her family welcomed my Frenchie into there home. Mindy provided excellent care and attention to Uni’s needs. I will absolutely ask her again to sit again. Highly recommend. Brian”
About: I have owned many types of animals throughout my life and have dog sat for the last 10 plus years. I am comfortable with all types of pets. I am currently between jobs so I have all the time in the world to give your pets the best possible care it can receive! I have many years of experience caring for animals big and small. I am comfortable being hands on or simply letting your pet relax while you’re away.
About: My experience with pet sitting includes two lovely Labrador, one clingy Golden Retriever, one energetic Pit-bull mix and one sleepy frenchie. Each one thought me how unique each pet can be and showed how much their owners loved each and every pet. Regarding experience with specific services I did give oral medication to the frenchie and carpooling the two Labradors. So if your pet needs any specific assistance or services please let me know and I will try to accommodate as best as possible. Since I am College Student, my availability is limited to Friday to Sunday. My services will be House sitting with your pet, dog walks, and even playtime if needed. I am open to pet specific requests and will try to accommodate as best as possible. Regarding potential weekday availability please reach out personally to me and I will try to accommodate as best as possible. Unfortunately due to my apartment’s no pet policy I can not pet sit from my own home. I do not mind having to travel to full-fill client needs as I do have a vehicle. If your pet has any unique needs I will be happy to meet them. I will try to keep your pet from and potentially precarious situations and care for them as they were my own.
About: I’ve had pets for years and have grown up with animals. Ever since I was born I was joined by a grumpy maincoon and once I turned 8 I got a siberian husky. Now, years later, I have taken care of many babies, both mine and belonging to others. Along with this I also have experience working at a veterinary clinic so I know how to deal with stressed animals who simply need patience. I am available to walk your babies or come by and feed them while you are on a much needed vacation on any day that’s not Wednesday after 2 pm. I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, birds, rats, and many more I understand that animals all have different personalities and often times need an abundance of patience. I know each pet routine varies depending on their breed, needs, likes, and dislikes. I have worked with animals with medical issues so I am experienced in administering shots, giving pills, or any other medications that may be necessary for the safety and comfort of your fur baby.
About: I genuinely care about making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take the time to get to know each animal’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m patient, attentive, and I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my approach based on their energy level, temperament, and needs. What sets me apart is my focus on creating a calm, positive environment and building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, including energetic puppies who need structure, supervision, and consistency, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace and extra attention. I’m dependable and responsible, and I always make sure pets are safe, well-exercised, and cared for with kindness. I also believe communication is really important, so I keep owners updated and make sure they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending time with a pet so they don’t feel lonely, I put effort into making each visit a positive experience. I’m currently working part time so I will have time to drop in to your pets and am fully free all of the weekend to have stay over visits as well!! In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions the owner provides. I prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets during walks and outdoor time, using secure leashes, and avoiding situations that could make them uncomfortable or unsafe. Inside the home, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention so they feel calm and cared for. I also respect the client’s home and keep things tidy. I provide updates when needed so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.
“Elizabeth took care of my kitties for the third time. She was awesome as always. Very responsible, dependable and loving! She was always on time to take real good care of my cats, paying attention to everything concerning them. She feed them, played with them and even put the cat’s eye drops when he needed it! Thank you Elizabeth and I definitely will use your help again in the near future.”
“Bailey always takes great care of my pup. She is always on-time and stays the full length of her drop-in visit. She leaves great Rover cards so I am able to see what they were up to during her visit. I appreciate how well she communicates and how consistent of a sitter she has been for me. She is very good with big dogs. I highly recommend!”

Jin was great with our two dogs! She carried our elderly dog outside because of our two steps and she gave both of them their enrichment activities mid day to work their brains. She spent time cuddling with them too. ❤️❤️ one of our dogs is sensitive to new people and she is patient and slow with him and he loves her!
Cherie was amazing with my Frenchie. She came to meet him before the scheduled care which I thought was nice. She also kept me updated with notes and pictures. I felt at ease while I was away knowing he was in good hands. Will rebook and highly recommend for your pet needs.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alafaya 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.
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 Alafaya 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Alafaya with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
