“Katherine is our go-to kitty sitter! She makes us feel so confident that our cats are well taken care of when we are not home. Plus, she always makes sure our lizard gets a snack 😊.”
“Having Julie take care of our special needs pup is like having a good neighbor helping out a friend. If she is on vacation, we just take care of our dog ourselves. We wouldn’t think of having anyone else come over. Thank you, Julie!”
“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.
“Asalia has been incredible - reliable, easy to schedule, communicative, caring, and most importantly always leaves Odysseus feeling happy after a nice long walk. We would recommend Asalia to anyone on the Orlando area looking for someone to care for their pup!”
“Zachary was great. From the beginning he was very communicative and thorough, and did everything that we needed him to do to ensure that our pets were taken care of while we were away.”
“Megan is so reliable, communicative, and loves our animals so much! She is very understanding and happy to follow long sets of directions. She has watched our pets multiple times and I would highly recommend her!”
About: Extremely grateful to be able to do this for work, I’m very passionate about animals and my love for them. I’m very responsible and reliable, I have been watching houses and pets since I was a little girl. I have experience with puppies as well as kittens, and senior dogs too. I have experience bottle feeding, and administering medicine. It’s something I feel very comfortable with! I love watching and keeping your home and fur babies safe! Hope to see you soon! Currently I have class Mondays and Wednesdays but I am available after and before! For the rest of the week I am available and open to being flexible! I would treat your home and family just as I would my own. I’m neat, organized, and high energy so I don’t mind long walks. I also am extremely aware of my surroundings, and vigilant. Happy to help any way I can!
About: Since moving to Florida, I had a hard time adjusting. Having a dog was a pretty big change for the family, but we soon fell in love with our fellow pets, despite all the ups and downs of life. Our third and final dog, Giro, lived with us for a bit over half of my existence, and losing him proved especially painful. As an autistic person, I have gone through many struggles in life, and pets—whether my own or someone else’s—bring me joy and relief whenever I come across them. My professional experience is limited, but I hope to make the most of my life experience to take care of your pets. UPDATE: Due to lack of specialized training, I am no longer taking in Belgian Malinois pups. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but I would prefer for all parties—human and pet alike—to be safe, and to do that I need to be aware of my limits and be more selective of what types of dogs I can take in. My schedule is fairly flexible, though I may be unavailable at certain times due to appointments or family/personal business. On the rare chance I have to leave the house, one of my family members will be available to supervise the pet until I return. I currently don't have house sitting available due to limitations in transport, but I offer day care services at my home. My family house has a fenced yard, but the yard has plenty of space for small-sized dogs. The interior is a bit small and my family is more accustomed to laid-back dogs, but I have experience sitting for more energetic pets as well and can make accomodations whenever possible. Our neighborhood is quiet with low traffic, creating a perfect environment for dog walks! Access to furniture is restricted, but I will personally allow pets on my own bed if they need rest. (For context, my bedroom leads right into the backyard.) I also take care of a physically disabled sister, who travels around the house by crawling, so please make me aware if the dog is especially energetic. Unfortunately, I cannot take cats as our house is not cat-proofed. Due to limited space, I typically prefer dogs of around 30 pounds or less, but I may take in larger dogs depending on their breed and temperament.
“First time using Rover and Jennifer did a great job taking care of my boys. I enjoyed all the picture updates of them playing and it seemed like they liked her presence as well. Will probably use her services again in the future.”
About: I have experience petsitting and working at a doggy dagcare. I've cared for pets with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for puppies and understand the patience and attention they require. I have also recently started fostering with a local rescue! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks and visits at different times throughout the day. And I am available for any overnight! I am super careful with watching your pet and making sure they do not get into anything they are not supposed to get in to. I am such a helicopter mom to my pets so I will treat them as my own and always keep my eyes on them and stay engaged!
“Elyscia watched my cats for 2 weeks on short notice and did a great job. She kept in contact with throughout and raised any concerns promptly. I came back to everything being in order and the cats well fed and happy.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I currently have five cats and a dog, so I’m very familiar with the daily responsibilities of feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and comfortable. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve watched multiple dogs and cats for friends, family, and others over the years. I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, ages, and energy levels, and I understand the importance of sticking to their routines so they feel safe and at ease while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, and patience while keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I work full-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care before and after work during the week. I’m available for morning walks, drop-in visits, evening care, and overnight stays. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m happy to work with your schedule and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I treat every home with respect and always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible until you’re back home.
“Orly did a great job taking care of my two cats Chulito and Espurr. She communicated with me during each visit and sent me pictures! I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing that my cats were being well taken care of.”
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.
