About: Ever since I was little I've always had a special connection with animals. My life has always been with my lovely pets. I love animals so much that I used to be a pet groomer just because I was so passionate about spending time with dogs and cats. I've taken care my family's pets before, provided full care: feed walk, bathe and even taken them to their vet appointment. Me and my husband are remote workers 100% we can fully dedicate and watch over your cute pups. We're off during the weekends and that's no problem because we have more time to provide attention to your pets I live in a nice and quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced backyard which is very spacious for potty and play time. My house is comfortable and accommodating if a kennel is required to be set up for your pet
“Nathan took excellent care of our dog and cat, making sure to clarify instructions for medications, etc. When our flight was cancelled last minute, he was kind enough to stay another night at very short notice, which we greatly appreciated! He left the house very clean and tidy. We will certainly book him again.”
“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”
“Chris was amazing! He took great care of Anubis and kept an eye on our home. We feel comfortable continuing to travel knowing we can leave our pet(s) in reliable hands. Thank you and we look forward to requesting you again!”
“Zack does an amazing job with my kiddoz; the majority of which are seniors. It’s a relief to have someone you know you can trust and will do an amazing job! Thanks Zack!!”
“Alicia stayed at our home for the weekend and took care of our 2 small dogs. They can be barky but they seemed to relax around her pretty quickly. She sent several pix -our doxie was snuggling up to her the same night we left and our nervous chihuahua was in out in the yard wagging away the next day. The house was the same as we left it. We would definitely book Alicia again 😀”
“Tyler did a fantastic job caring for my pups! My dog has diabetes and needs special care. He administered meds and kept me updated. I came back to the house clean and my doggies were relaxed and happy. Tyler is very careful to follow directions. I would definitely book with him again!”
“Ashlee is an incredible pet sitter who truly cares! We have three senior pets with special needs. We were afraid to leave them for the weekend so we needed someone who we knew would do an amazing job. Ashlee was amazing. She stayed at our home with the pets and checked in with status updates constantly so that we were not left wondering how they were doing. She was able to give all three senior pets all of their medicines, including our two cats, and that is never an easy task. She was loving with our pets because when we came home, none of the animals were stressed and acted like we’d only been gone for an hour or two. The house was immaculate and she gave us updates before leaving and sent us pictures all weekend. We will definitely keep having Ashlee care for our pets. Highly recommend!!”
“Anneke was a literal dream! This is the first time I've ever had a non-family member watch Rocco and she was so communicative and understanding. She was so good with Rocco and I felt so comfortable with her there. 10/10 all around. We will definitely be booking her again and again!”
About: I’m a dog mom to two miniature Goldendoodles, Haze and Haeming, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. My experience comes from caring for my own dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with their daily routines. For walks and house sitting, I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your home, and send photos and updates so you know how your pets are doing. I’d love to meet you and your dog beforehand to learn about their personality, routine, and needs. I have a flexible schedule for dog walks and overnight house sitting. I’ll agree on care times with you before booking and follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and bedtime routines. I’ll respect your home and follow your pet’s care instructions closely. On walks, I’ll keep your dog leashed and avoid unfamiliar animals. I’ll check that doors and gates are secure and send photos and updates throughout the stay.
About: From a young age, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up with three dogs, two cats, and various other animals, I developed a genuine love for caring for animals and understanding their individual personalities. I started pet-sitting for friends and family when I was 10 and quickly discovered how much I enjoyed it. As a teenager, I volunteered at a veterinary office and later became a foster for animals in need. These experiences gave me an early foundation in responsible, compassionate animal care. As an adult, I’ve continued to build on that experience through several animal-care positions. Most recently, I worked full-time with an animal shelter, where I helped intake animals, provide their daily care, assess their needs and behavior, and assist them on their journey toward finding forever homes. Most importantly, I understand that every pet is an individual. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind that their pets are in experienced and loving hands. My schedule is very flexible, as pet care is my primary focus. I’m available Monday through Saturday (unless boarding, in which I am available all week) with flexible availability throughout the day, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. My home also has a screened-in pool, so I’m especially mindful of water safety. Pets are never given unsupervised access to the pool, and I’m happy to follow any specific rules or preferences you have regarding your pet and the pool area.
“We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this service. Our sitter was professional, communicative, and took outstanding care of our dogs while we were away. We received updates throughout our trip, and it was obvious our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. As an added bonus, our home was left clean and organized when we returned, which was greatly appreciated. It’s not easy leaving your pets behind, but this experience gave us complete peace of mind. We would gladly use this service again and look forward to booking in the future.”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter. I just personally love animals and are really good with animals I work part time but I have a very flexible schedule, I’d always make time to take care of pets when needed. I love all dogs big and small I have a blue tick hound that I rescued. I always play with her and take her out, she loves sleeping on my bed with me or in my room.
“It is a great comfort to know that our Cairn Terrier (Finn) was well taken care of while we were away. I felt completely comfortable leaving Finn with Kaylee. She always goes above and beyond by sending cute pics, getting the mail, and taking the trash out. Kaylee did a wonderful job! Thank you so much!”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a child. My dog passed and since have focused on helping friends, family, and associates care for their beloved pets. I work full time but have a flexible schedule and the ability to work remotely if needed. I am an early riser but also happy to accommodate late night visits and over night stays. I currently do not pet sit in my home but am happy to make as many trips as needed to your location, work from your location during the day, or stay overnight if preferred.

About: I've had dogs all my life. I absolutely love being around animals and have had experience with small and large dogs young and old. I've also cared for special needs animals including dogs with epilepsy and spinal injuries. Animals seem to gravitate to me which is one thing I feel would make me great in this business. I'm particularly fond of larger breeds but really enjoy anytime with dogs.I don't currently have any dogs but do have 4 cats; Loki, Anakin, Drax, and Harvey. I'd be more than happy to take your dog to the park or just around the neighborhood for walks. I love animals of all kinds so consider me for other animal sitting as well! My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet is used to early morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening playtime, or medication schedules, I’ll work to maintain the routine they’re familiar with. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust at their own pace and use positive reinforcement to create a calm, comfortable experience. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and home security. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Altamonte Springs
Thank you so much, Nathan, for taking such wonderful care of our doggies and our home! It was such a relief to know they were in good hands while we were away. The doggies were happy when we returned, and our house was clean and tidy. We truly appreciate your kindness, care, and thoughtfulness. We will definitely reach out to you again whenever we need help with our doggies and home. Thank you again for everything!
Can’t say enough good things about our favorite Rover sitter Christina! She’s just the absolute best and our first baby Stella absolutely adores her. She’s takes such good care of her and our home while we’re away, it’s makes it easy to unwind and relax knowing what’s so import to us is in such good hands. Thanks again Christina for a stress free trip!
Michele was terrific! She stayed overnight with our two pugs and was a fantastic communicator, sending regular photo updates and following all our instructions perfectly. Knowing our dogs were in such caring, reliable hands was a huge relief, and we're already thrilled to have her booked for two more dates. Thank you, Michele!
Katie was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated throughout the entire sitting, which gave me great peace of mind. She did an amazing job with the dogs, and her communication from start to finish was excellent. I could tell they were well cared for and in great hands. I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter!
Colleen was wonderful with our cats while we were away for the weekend! She communicated really well throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind, and she left our house spotless. We came home to happy cats. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
Ashlee is an incredible pet sitter who truly cares! We have three senior pets with special needs. We were afraid to leave them for the weekend so we needed someone who we knew would do an amazing job. Ashlee was amazing. She stayed at our home with the pets and checked in with status updates constantly so that we were not left wondering how they were doing. She was able to give all three senior pets all of their medicines, including our two cats, and that is never an easy task. She was loving with our pets because when we came home, none of the animals were stressed and acted like we’d only been gone for an hour or two. The house was immaculate and she gave us updates before leaving and sent us pictures all weekend. We will definitely keep having Ashlee care for our pets. Highly recommend!!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brenda, Dwain, and their family! They cared for our three dogs for 3 nights and 4 days, and from the very beginning, we felt like our dog children were in great hands. I was extremely nervous about leaving them—not because I was worried they wouldn’t be well cared for, but simply because we are never apart from them! Brenda and Dwain completely put my mind at ease. We received daily photos along with the best, most entertaining updates that made us laugh and helped us feel connected to our pups while we were away. What meant even more to us was seeing how comfortable everyone became with each other. They trusted our dogs enough to bring their children over to help and spend time with them, which made it feel like our pups were being loved on by an entire family rather than just being “watched.” Coming home to three happy, well-cared-for dogs was everything we could have asked for. We will absolutely trust Brenda, Dwain, and their family to care for our dog children again. Knowing we have people we can trust with them makes the idea of leaving them in the future so much easier. ❤️🐾 Thank you from Mark, Christina, Minnie the pack leader, Molly silent but happy, and Gus the part time construction worker!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Altamonte Springs is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $78 per night. 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 3,100 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Altamonte Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Altamonte Springs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Altamonte Springs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
