“We had a marvelous meet and greet in which David stayed for a very long time to answer a lot of questions and hear about our animal crew. Which was much much appreciated. He arrived on time for our house stay. Was met by a very crazy dog. It was our first time leaving her overnight and she knew it and acted out. David was an absolute champion. Went above and beyond to get her calm down and assure us that everybody would be fine. Including our very old cat. Both of our crew were happy and the house was in great shape and we had a wonderful time. David sent pictures and updates and a Nice goodbye when he left. We were so happy we've already booked him for a week. We highly recommend David. Many thanks David for all you did.”
“Danielle was amazing with Skai and very communicative. She sent me pictures throughout the stay and I felt very secured. She took amazing care of Skai and I would definitely book again!”
“Margarita did a great job housesitting for us recently. She was quick to respond and provide updates and made sure our pup was well taken care of while we traveled for work.”
“We're so happy to have chosen Haley to care for our furkids and house sit while we were away. The cats and dog took to her right away and it was a comfort knowing that our home and babies were in such reliable and kind hands. We highly recommend Haley and we will definitely call on her in the future.”

“This was our first time leaving our pets with someone we didn’t personally know, so naturally, we were a little nervous. However, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such wonderful care of our pets and made us feel so much more comfortable trusting someone new with our fur babies. It means so much to know that our pets were in good hands while we were away. We truly appreciate the care, attention, and love she showed them. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. Thank you for giving us peace of mind and treating our pets so well! ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and animals of various kinds since my young days. Now a 32 year old woman my heart is in the same place. I welcome your animal into my home for a safe, fun and warm environment while parents are away. I offer personalized care and adjust as each fur baby has unique preferences and needs. Can’t wait to have your baby stay with us! The pet care fits right into my daily routine. I’m always out and about in the neighborhood for walks and exercise and only enjoy that more with a pet friend with me. I work a few hours at a gym and won’t be out long when I am. I do have a cat that stays with my and my dog. My dog spends half the time with my parents at their home so I can either have a friend for your pet or if preferable keep my dog at my parents home while your animal stays at our house. We live in a beautiful apartment complex close to Down Town Mount Dora. It’s a quiet neighborhood and a brand new fenced in dog park right near my apartment.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 2. I love fur babies more anything. In fact, I wanted to be a veterinarian for the longest time so in high school, I took 4 years of vet assisting, shadowed at a vet clinics and became certified vet assistant! As I got older, I ultimately switched career paths. I work from home now in corporate event planning. This gives me the flexibility to be home with my pets and hopefully take care of yours as well! I do work full time, but fortunately work from home which gives me plenty of flexibility! My pups always get plenty of play time during the work day! Boarding would be perfect. I do have the time to be able to go on walks as well. I have a big fenced yard and have my own dogs. They are all very friendly and love playing with eachother and other dogs. They would love to have another friend to play with!

“Teri took great and loving care of my dog for 12 days. She went on long walks and took him to a variety of dog parks every day which he loved.

David was great! Cooper and ginger were well cared for and they had no complaints ;-) So happy we found such a responsible person to care for our furry kids. He left the tv on with some soothing music which gave the house such a nice feeling when we returned home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Astatula is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 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.

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 Astatula 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 Astatula 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 Astatula 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.

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.
