“Shirel is super dependable and great with my boys! She communicates any changes and is great at following up with anything needed! I receive daily reports and photos of my boys and that eases my mind knowing they were taken care of. Highly recommend her :)”
“Laura did an amazing job taking care of my cat Lyla while I was out of town for a week! She took lots of photos playing with Lyla + taking care of her food/litter box. I would highly recommend Laura for pet sitting!”
“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!”
“Very caring and communicative. She sent a couple of videos checking up on my dog which made me so glad to see how he’s doing my while I’m away 🥰🥰 def would reach out again”
About: I have loved animals my entire life and have taken care of my own dog since I was 12, I have a lot of experience with both dogs and cats from years of helping out family and friends with their animals! Volunteered at a non-profit organization for stray cats where I routinely cleaned after and took care of the animals there. Open availability! I am a full time college student so some of my time is taken up by school. My availability is as follows: Mon/Wed: 7am-12pm or after 6pm Tue/Thu: Not available Fri/Sat/Sun: All Day I don’t offer pet sitting at my residence as my roommates are allergic to animals, but I will follow all given instructions on how to care for your animal inside your home.
“Audrey was amazing in every way! I didn’t worry about my pups not once. She played with them and hung out with them, that means so much to me. We will most definitely be using Audrey again.”
“I have a very annoying dog that has made using any services super scary to me. Nevaeh listened to the whole situation, came over for a meet and greet ahead of time, was extremely understanding and sweet. She was on time and she stayed with them a little extra to get to know them too. She even washed their food bowls which I didn’t even ask her to do. 10/10 recommend! I will be a repeat customer!”
“Jessica was an amazing drop-in sitter. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of Dice’s latest antics. Her experience as a vet tech made me feel that Dice was in good hands. I would highly recommend Jessica for anyone using her services. They will be assured that they are receiving the best care possible.”

About: I've cared for pets for 10 years and I'm comfortable with all personalities, from shy, nervous dogs who need patience to high-energy pups who need to burn off steam. I'm experienced giving medication, including pills and liquids, and I follow your instructions exactly. I focus on enrichment like sniff walks, games, and puzzle toys, and I send photo updates every visit. My schedule is wide open and flexible, so I can work around your needs, including last-minute requests. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting at your home on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I can stick closely to your pet's usual routine. I care for pets in your home, where they're most comfortable and familiar. I follow your feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly, keep doors and gates secured, and never leave a pet unattended on a walk. I'm confident giving medication and will keep a clear record of each dose. I'll message you after each visit so you know how things went.
About: I have loved and taken care of cats and dogs my whole life! Just this past year and a half, I gained new experiences working at an animal clinic and sanctuary where I fed, cleaned, and cared for 10-25 dogs at a time. I know the best ways to gain an animal's trust and work with dogs of many different temperaments. From Aussie doodles to 15-year-old Chihuahuas, I always make sure each dog is happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I am eager to get to know your special pup! I currently a student at the University of Central Florida, so my availability would be going around my schedule at that time. Currently, I am free most of the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, anytime on weekends, and in the afternoon/evenings on Fridays. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I can only do late evening visits after 7:30/8 I have pet sat before, and one thing I am big on is being respectful to my clients' belongings and making my main focus their pet by giving them the attention they need, while still being courteous of what the animal wants. I am there to care for my client's pet, have them happy knowing that their furry (or hairless) friend is in good hands, and potentially meet some cool people along the way!
“Nick was fantastic with Izzy He was able to help on short notice during a holiday, and I really appreciated his reliability and great communication. I would definitely book with Nick again if needed.”
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.
“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!”
About: I love dogs more than I love actual people. About 3 years ago I started working at a doggy daycare and I had the best experience. Apart from that I've had dogs since I was born. I know how to give professional baths and some types of haircuts. I used to train dogs but I haven't had much experience. I take care of my own pets all day. When I move I won't have a job so if I need to stay with your dog all day I can accommodate that I have a lot of experience handling all types of dogs including reactive. So I can change the way I work to give your dog what they need

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alafaya
We cannot recommend Isabella highly enough! She took exceptional care of our two kitties for 9 days while we were away on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Isabella visited twice a day, was always punctual, and went above and beyond to make sure our babies were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She fed them, gave them lots of love, cuddles, and attention, brushed them, cleaned their litter boxes, and made sure they had fresh water every day. One of the things we appreciated most was that she sent us photos and videos every single day, allowing us to see our fur babies and giving us peace of mind while we were away. We absolutely loved and appreciated this. It was so reassuring to see our kitties doing well and receiving so much affection while we were away. On top of everything else, she also brought in our mail, took out the trash, and even swept the floors so we could return to a clean and welcoming home. Her thoughtfulness, reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals truly made all the difference. It’s such a blessing to find someone you can completely trust with your beloved pets and your home. We are incredibly grateful to Isabella for her outstanding care and all the extra little touches that made such a difference. We will absolutely be booking her again! ❤️🐾
Mariah really went above and beyond taking care of our two cats Cal and Mei, who have to be fed on a special diet and schedule. She was very responsive, sent pictures, and kept our babies happy and cared for during our 2 week trip. 🙂 She even helped a bird trapped in our pool screen, and made sure the garbage was taken out, and the kitchen and litter left clean. We were very pleased with Mariah’s professionalism and would book her again!
Rachel was great, she went above and beyond to make sure our cats were taken care of. She followed all of our instructions and suggestions perfectly, and even helped with other things like bringing in mail and packages. We got photo updates every day, and the cats loved her. We will absolutely be booking with her again.
Seriously the best sitter ever!! This is our first time leaving our kitty with a sitter we were so nervous. Yicheng was super amazing understanding and kind to our baby. Our kitty loves playing with him so much. We really recommend him as a sitter and we will be using him in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alafaya is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $3 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 5,226 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alafaya. 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 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 Alafaya. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
