About: I have grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life! I enjoy being around animals and love to take care of them. I own two female German shorthaired pointers who have TONS of energy! And that’s what I love most about them. I know how important it is to meet all animals exactly where they’re at temperament wise. I truly enjoy being around animals…more than humans sometimes! I look forward to getting to walk or play with your fur babies! My husband and I both work out of the home which means we make sure our pups are well taken care of in the mornings and evenings as far as exercise! With the heat in Florida, walks in the early mornings and evenings are best fitting anyway. We do have the flexibility with our jobs to run home during lunch for extra potty breaks as well. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for activities! My own pups love to run around and play fetch back there. Dogs are allowed in furniture and to sleep in the bed in my house.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets and animals with special needs. I’ve cared for dogs with arthritis, mobility problems, and cancer, helping them move around safely, go outside, and stay comfortable. I also have experience with physical-therapy routines, including assisting a dog with weakened back legs and water-treadmill therapy. With cats and dogs, I’ve helped give medications and have experience giving fluids to a cat with kidney issues. I’ve also walked, fed, and watched neighbors’ dogs, including Charlie, Rosie, and Parker. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting my care to each pet’s individual needs. My schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with consistent attention and care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I can also work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable, whether that means an energetic walk, extra patience with a senior dog, medication at a certain time, or simply giving a shy pet some space. I’m very careful with leashes, doors, gates, feeding instructions, and anything else an owner points out. Having cared for pets with mobility issues and other special needs, I’m used to paying attention to the little things and adjusting my care when needed. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.
About: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm used to structured schedules that include morning and evening potty breaks, set feeding times, naps, and check-ins throughout the day. I understand that some pets may need flexibility if they're sleeping, while others thrive on consistency. I make sure each pet gets attention, potty breaks, and time to relax, following their usual routine as closely as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

I make sure each pet gets attention, potty breaks, and time to relax, following their usual routine as closely as possible. I prioritize safety and close supervision at all times. I'm careful with leashes, doors, feeding instructions, and temperature needs. I follow specific care instructions such as clothing for warmth when needed, proper harness use, and monitoring bathroom habits. I maintain a calm, clean environment and respect each pet's individual needs, routines, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for.
“Maria was wonderful with Penny for a few drop in visits while I was away! Penny is a senior cat who hides a lot and sometimes soils outside of the box when stressed. Maria always made sure to find where she was hiding, bring extra food and water closer to her, and give her lots of love. She even cleaned up the accidents which was so helpful. Maria is our go-to any time we travel!”
“Camryn was professional, kind, and our cats bonded with her quickly. We had a nervous girl cat and she handled checking in and taking care of all 3 incredibly. Grateful for her and coming back to a happy house with 3 happy cats.”
About: I've taken care of everything from pitties to kitties! I love animals and dream of having my own mini menagerie someday. I've been petsitting reptiles, cats, and dogs since I was 13 years old, and have never run into any issues. I can render any service from medication to enrichment. I currently work part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I have no trouble taking a day off from work if the situation calls for it, and can work around medication schedules even on work days. When taking pets out for walks, leashes are a must! Additionally, any potentially dangerous foods or substances will be put safely out of reach of the pet. I set alarms and reminders for feeding, medication, and appointments to make sure everything is done at the proper time.
About: Stress-Free Environment Calm, safe, and home-like setting that keeps dogs happy, not anxious. I’m also reliable and communicative—pet parents can count on regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while they're away. With experience handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, I go beyond basic care by providing personalized attention, emotional comfort, and plenty of love. I treat pet sitting as a responsibility and a priority, I build in time for everything from play sessions to medication schedules, keeping flexibility for any last-minute needs. My routine is built to support dependability, consistency, and compassion—three things every pet needs when away from their family. When pets stay in my home, I strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved—just like part of the family. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces for rest, toys for enrichment, and designated areas for feeding and play. I stick closely to their usual routines, including walk times, feeding schedules, and any special care or medications they need.
“Phoebe is an absolute lifesaver! She jumped in to help me last minute and went completely above and beyond. I had a complicated situation with my three dogs and Phoebe handled everything, including three flights of stairs and some unexpected messes, with total professionalism and kindness. Because of her, I was able to focus on my trip without the constant worry I started with. She is reliable, communicative, and truly cares for your fur babies. I cannot recommend her enough!”

For my feline guests, the home has cat towers and jungle gyms throughout, giving them plenty of places to climb, play, explore, or retreat when they want some quiet time. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. ❤️

“This was our first time finding a dog sitter and we couldn’t have found someone better than Vanja. She’s knowledgeable, friendly and reliable. Our puppy immediately loved her, and we felt at peace knowing someone was there taking care of our dog. She’s amazing! Thank you so much Vanja!”
“Carolina did a wonderful job with Levi for his drop in visit! She kept me well informed and made sure my little guy was feeling relaxed before leaving him, and overall exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have always considered them part of the family. I have experience caring for and walking dogs with many different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I especially have a soft spot for senior dogs. I understand that older dogs may need a little extra patience, gentleness, and time to move at their own pace, and I genuinely enjoy giving them that care and attention. At the same time, I’m happy to keep up with high-energy dogs who love a good walk and need someone who can match their enthusiasm. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a leisurely stroll, or simply some patient and loving attention, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own pets. With an almost completely open and flexible schedule, I can easily work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. I’m able to accommodate a variety of walking times and pet-care needs, making it easy to find a time that works for you. I believe caring for someone’s pet is a responsibility built on trust and a genuine love for animals. I’ll make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in the familiar surroundings of their own home. I’m attentive to their individual needs and personality, and I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Altamonte Springs
Emma did a fabulous job with our dog Marley! It was just for a short weekend, and it's our first time having Emma watch her but it was a great experience. When we initially did our first meet and greet, she was on time, very punctual and very nice and inviting. All throughout the weekend, she sent photos and updates and very detailed on her visit with Marley. It was great! She is very trustworthy and responsible, I definitely will have Emma again when we go out of town. Thank you so much to Rover for employing such a great person. A bigger thank you to Emma for doing such a wonderful job! 😁🤩
Luna is amazing! We are so happy with her services and will definitely continue booking with her in the future. Olivia absolutely loves her, and it gives us peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands while we’re away. Thank you, Luna, for your patience, kindness, and for taking such great care of our Olivia! We truly appreciate everything you do and highly recommend your services!
Maria makes the most of her drop in visits! The boys get play time, outside time, pettings/love, snacks, and Chewie even gets a mini walk! She’s so sweet to bring them something special, making her visits even more exciting for them. Although they both love Maria so much, just her coming to see them is excitement enough! She always leaves them in a peaceful and relaxing environment with soft music playing for them. The boys are looking forward to her next drop-in! 💕
We were looking for a dog sitter who had plenty of flexibility because our schedule is absolutely crazy right now, and when I came across Isaac’s profile, he had exactly what we were looking for—open availability and 10 years of experience! We set up a meet-and-greet on short notice, and Isaac was incredibly accommodating. He came to our home to meet our 9-week-old Boxer puppy, Harley, and I immediately felt comfortable with him. We went over Harley’s schedule, feeding instructions, and routine, and Isaac spent time playing with him. Harley warmed up to him right away, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him in Isaac’s care. After the meet-and-greet, we booked our first visit for the very next day. Isaac messaged me as soon as he arrived, got Harley out to play and go potty, and kept me updated throughout his entire visit. He sent pictures and updates while they played and went through Harley’s routine, which gave me so much peace of mind. Having a 9-week-old puppy is definitely a lot, especially with our unpredictable schedule, but Isaac has been wonderful about working with us and keeping us updated. I really appreciate how dependable, communicative, and comfortable he made both Harley and me feel. I would absolutely recommend Isaac to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, flexible, and genuinely caring with their pets. We’re so happy we found him!
I cannot recommend Isabella enough! She watched my Zoe and Snoopy while I was away at a conference, and knowing they were in such loving and capable hands gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually focus on my conference. Isabella is reliable, punctual, communicative, and most importantly, you can genuinely tell how much she loves and cares for the animals she watches. She treated my babies like they were her own, and that means everything to me. Finding someone you truly trust with your pets and your home is not easy, and I feel incredibly blessed to have found her. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring, trustworthy pet sitter in the Orlando area, Isabella is truly one of the best. Zoe, Snoopy, and I absolutely adore her! 🐾💕
Christina is a wonderful pet sitter who has been caring for our three senior pets for a while now. They all adore her! We haven’t had her for overnights, so we just do drop ins. She is amazing. She is always on time and sends pictures. We totally trust her with our home and our pets! We highly recommend her!

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.
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 Altamonte Springs 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 .
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.
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 .
