“As always, Katharine was amazing with our critters (2 cats and a lizard). She went above and beyond when our breaded dragon was especially hungry. Highly recommend:)”
“Christina is so wonderful! This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than family. Christina is patient and knowledgeable. My dog was extremely nervous and anxious but Christina was able to comfort her. She took the best care of and I’m so grateful!!! I highly recommend her to everyone!”
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.
“Zachary was quick to respond to our request and set up a meet and greet, even at a last minute notice. We appreciate that he was able to accommodate us. He is very detailed oriented, which I appreciate and our dogs obviously loved him. He kept us informed at all times and sent us lots of photos and videos. Thanks Zachary.”
“Maria and Jose were great with drop-ins. They were very friendly, timely, and professional. I definitely plan on using them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.”
“Amazing! Ava gave us daily photos and updates of our pets. They loved her and opened up to her quickly which gave us the comfort to not worry while we where away. Highly recommend!”
“Alexa is amazing!!! She not only came to rescue when we needed last minute help but went above and beyond to take care of my cats. I really appreciate her communication, photos and that she even cleaned up when it wasn’t asked of her! Will definitely have Alexa help watch my little angels again asap!”
“So nice and understanding! I'm an awkward person so I feel like I have to talk but she never put that pressure on me and just talked when I kind of make it more obvious that I was going to keep awkward talking xD.”
“Gabriela did a great job with Briar who is a senior Shiba Inu. If you know about the breed, you know they have Shibatude and can be a challenge. Gabriela learned quickly how to handle her well for daily walks.”
About: The passing of my beloved Birch, a 9-year-old shepherd x border collie mix, in February of 2025, was a turning point in my life. After losing my marketing job in August of 2024, I decided to follow my passion for animals and look for ways to bring in income while focusing on what truly brings me joy. Rover allows me to dedicate nearly unlimited time and flexibility to the care of your cherished fur family—and beyond. With over 15 years of animal care experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs, cats, small critters (like rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and ferrets), horses, goats, chickens, and I also specialize in cleaning and caring for aquariums and aquascapes up to 150 gallons. From puppy training and basic manners to providing senior care and managing multi-animal households, I have the skills and knowledge to cater to the unique needs of your pets. I’m experienced in recognizing animal body language, offering wound care, and performing basic grooming tasks such as paw trimming and nail clipping. I offer not only the essentials of pet care but also specialized services, including training, fun outings, and overnight stays (both in your home or mine). I believe in building a strong foundation of trust with your pets, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in their environment. As a secondary passion, I’m also a baker and offer homemade dog treats by the dozen, as well as fresh food meal prep. For meal prep, I ask that you provide the ingredients, and there is a small additional labor charge for the preparation. I can tailor the meals to your pet's dietary restrictions and preferences, ensuring they get exactly what they need to stay happy and healthy. My goal is to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, patience, and an unwavering commitment to their well-being. I look forward to meeting your furry, scaly, and feathery companions and providing the loving care they deserve! I work part-time with flexible hours, which allows me to offer tailored care for your pets. While I generally do not offer early morning visits on weekdays unless I’m already at your home, I am available starting at 11:30 AM and onward. I have the flexibility to accommodate midday, evening, and overnight care. As I do not currently have pets of my own, I’m able to offer both hosting and overnight stays at your home, either during the week or on specified weekends, ensuring your pet is in a comfortable and familiar environment. I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide the care and attention your pets deserve! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether they’re in my home or yours. I live in a spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, all on one level—no stairs involved—providing a comfortable and secure environment for your pets. My apartment is located in a complex that is extremely pet-friendly, with designated pet areas and a community that is welcoming to animals. The neighborhood is well-maintained and safe, offering plenty of clean and secure spaces for walks and potty breaks. While my home is cozy, I can only accommodate up to two pets at a time to ensure each one receives the individual attention they deserve. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space, free from hazards, and I create a calm and relaxing atmosphere for pets to enjoy. They have plenty of space to move around, whether they prefer to lounge or play. I also ensure close supervision to help your pets feel safe and secure. When staying at your home, I respect your pet’s routines and environment to minimize any stress and ensure consistency. I take the time to familiarize myself with their daily habits, preferences, and any special needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would in their own home. Whether I’m offering overnight stays, hosting, or daily visits, I’m committed to providing a safe and trustworthy experience for both you and your pets. You’ll receive daily updates to ensure peace of mind, knowing your pets are in good hands.
“Jennifer was great! She was very flexible when our flight was delayed, canceled, and rebooked. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and kept Kano fed and happy. She was also very respectful of the house and even cleaned up after Kano when he got sick and had a hairball. We’re very happy we found Jennifer and we’ll be using her again!”
“Sarah was wonderful with our 9yr old Boston terrier! She looked after Dexter for 4 days. Sarah is punctual & very responsive which put our minds at ease. She gave our dog a lot of love, play time, walks & took plenty of pictures. She went above & beyond to care for him. We will definitely book Sarah again in the future!”
“Christine was great with our pup and took amazing care of him. She was always on time, communicative with updates, and went the extra mile when our dog's separation anxiety left him with an upset stomach. Will definitely keep her at the top of our list for taking care of our pup in the future.”
“Cassi is excellent and immediately connected with our dachshund on the couple of drop-in visits we needed her for. Our dog is disabled and she has taken such sweet care of our girl. Recommend Cassi! She is on time and a great communicator!”
“Haileigh has been AMAZINGGGGGGGGG!!!! She has been communicating with me and sending photos of my baby the whole trip. I felt such at ease with her taking care of Bruce these past couple of days. Literally the best sitter that I could ever ask for.”
About: Hi, I’m Lindsay! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic pups to more relaxed seniors. I currently work in healthcare, so I’m very detail-oriented, reliable, and comfortable handling responsibility. I always follow care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you have peace of mind. Looking forward to meeting your dog! My schedule allows me to be available most evenings after work and throughout the weekend. I’m reliable with consistent routines and can accommodate feeding, visits, or overnight care during those times. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routines so they feel secure and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure they’re fed on time, their space stays clean, and they get the attention they want—whether that’s playtime, companionship, or quiet space. I love to run and will run with your furry friend if they enjoy it!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Altamonte Springs
Maria was super accommodating with my last minute booking and time adjustment. The boys were so excited to see her!! Chewie was so happy to have a nighttime walk, and Oreo enjoyed a leisurely dinner and yard time. She left them with relaxing music and lighting, so they could rest peacefully until our return! I always trust Maria to take great care of our boys 💕🐾
Patti is fantastic. She sends photos & detailed info on what’s going on with my girls back home. She is reliable and trustworthy and we are so so blessed to have found her upon moving to a new area. Truly a blessing that my cats get to see the SAME person each time we go away. We even moved here locally, further away from her, but she continued to see my cats..! You get the feeling with her that she truly loved my animals. I would recommend her without hesitation!
I cannot recommend Isabella enough! From the start, she blew us away during the meet-and-greet by arriving early and taking her genuine time getting detailed instructions and getting to know the pups. We needed someone for a drop-in visit for our three dogs, including our senior dog, Odin, who is usually very hesitant and doesn't like new people. Isabella effortlessly tended to all of them—Odin, Clemson, and Tiger—at once. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and knew exactly how to approach Odin to make him feel safe. I was so relieved to see how calm and comfortable he was in the updates, and Clemson and Tiger were just as happy and well-cared for. It is rare to find someone who can manage multiple dogs while winning over an anxious senior pup so quickly. If you have a multi-dog household or a sensitive pet who needs a truly professional, compassionate touch, book Isabella immediately!
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!
Ava did such a great job watching our kitty while we were on honeymoon for 2 weeks! She worked with my shy cat and gave him plenty of exercise and made him feel safe while we were away. She’s super flexible and helpful! Hope I can book her again for my next trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Altamonte Springs is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $37 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 5,385 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Altamonte Springs. 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 Altamonte Springs. 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.
