“Shelley was fantastic taking care of our animals while we were away. She went above and beyond our expectations and provided tons of updates. The pets were all very happy and well cared for, and the house was nice and tidy when we returned home. We will definitely be booking her again when we need a sitter!”
“Haylee was wonderful throughout the stay. She was very responsive and sent pictures of my pup which made my day. Haylee was also very flexible which helped tremendously since we are here on vacation and I didn’t know anyone else that could help. I highly recommend her!”
“Jared cake on time and provided so many photos! We loved that. Jared provided another set of eyes for our dog who is recovering from surgery and we appreciated that as it gave us a chance to have a break. Thank you so much!”
“Tiffany was awesome. She stayed with my two rambunctious Boston Terrier puppies for a long weekend. We recieved many pictures and updates during our time away giving us comfort that our babies were being well taken care of. Our babies are spoiled and sleep in bed with us. Tiffany didn't bat an eye in sharing the bed. Best yet the house was clean and dog poop all picked up. We definately would use her again. Highly recommended!”
“Mia was the absolute best. I have a non cuddly dog who doesn't warm up to people quickly and makes it maybe not as fun to watch and hard for me to travel without worrying. Mia showed kindness, caring and was diligent in communicating daily. Your pets would be lucky to have Mia and her thoughtfulness towards animals. Thank you Mia!!! Will use her again. And house was well taken care of.”
“Sarah did an amazing job caring for our two dogs, Kizzy and Odin! She sent us lots of updates and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Sarah also picked up our packages and took wonderful care of our house. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and reliability, and we would definitely book her again!”
“Amanda was so sweet and an great sitter! She took in our two dogs very last minute during our trip to Orlando, and we’re so grateful she was able to accommodate us. She kept us regularly updated with pictures and videos, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She even stayed late until we got back from the parks. Such a great experience overall, and I would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
About: I grew up around dogs for years. I have alot of patience and I love to run around with them. I’ve bonded with them over the years. I’m currently working part time and have time to care for dogs&cats. I’m an early riser and love to give pets a morning routine or afternoon routine . I have different dog toys, a crate and soothing music and massage techniques. Also senior dogs need lots of love and I’m ready to give it to them.
“Suhail and her daughter Elizabeth do a wonderful job watching our house and taking care of our 2 furry buys. We have used them twice now and would recommend them to anyone.”
About: I started dog-sitting while I was in high school. I am currently a medical student who would love to help take care of your animal (s). Being a medical student has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and compassion. I will carefully schedule my study blocks so I can provide dependable, attentive care. Time with pets is something I genuinely look forward to each week. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of safe outdoor space nearby for walks and fresh air. Inside, pets have a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at home.
About: I love dogs, I can talk about my own baby dog for days. I’m bilingual (Spanish and English), I love walking and I love pets. Mix them together and I’m there. I’m probably available when you need me so you can trust that I will take good care of your pets when you are not able :) I am a freelance photographer, so I work from home and manage my own schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings as needed :) I can walk pets, come and feed them or play with them or I can pet sit in your home. Unfortunately not available to bring pets to my own home
“Staycee did a fantastic job house sitting and watching Loki during my recent work trip. She followed the provided care schedule, shared frequent updates with photos of Loki, and took time to make sure he was genuinely cared for and comfortable. Not only that, but the house was left very clean and well cared for. Would absolutely love to work with Staycee again and highly recommend her to all looking for an Orlando-based dog sitter!”
About: With 5 years of experience as a pet sitter, I have developed a deep passion for providing loving and responsible care to animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to maintain their routines, give them attention, and provide a calm environment. I am committed to offering dependable care built on trust, patience, and genuine love for animals! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care. I keep my schedule organized so I can be flexible with visits, walks, and overnight stays whenever possible. My goal is to give every pet the time, attention, and affection they deserve while keeping owners updated for complete peace of mind. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take time to build trust with every pet, creating a calm and loving environment where they feel safe and cared for. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll treat them like a member of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit.
“Angel did an excellent job watching our dog Jumba, very responsive whenever I sent a message to see how things were going, providing pictures of my boy, and asking questions whenever she was unsure about any of Jumba's behaviors (he's a goofy boy). She also cleaned up the day she left and the house was in the same order as when we left it. Could not recommend Angel enough to any other person who may enlist her services for house watching/dog sititng!”
“My pup loved Brittney and she made him feel so comfortable! She had incredible communication and updates that left me no questions about my pups care and how his day was while I was away. I would absolutely use her service again and I know Argo is looking forward to it as well.”
“I had to attend some intensive work training with really unpredictable and super weird hours, and Kelly was an absolute lifesaver. Her flexibility was incredible—she worked around my crazy schedule without hesitation and always made it work seamlessly. She was extremely punctual and fully accountable, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Throughout the stay, she proactively sent me adorable pictures of my dogs and quickly responded to every message, reassuring me that they were happy, safe, and receiving the best possible care. Knowing she was checking in on both me and my pups meant the world during a stressful time. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and highly responsive pet sitter, look no further. I will definitely be booking her again and recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you so much for everything—you're a true professional and a dog lover! ❤️”

Mary is just so sweet! She came to stay at my house and take care of my three dogs, two of whom are special needs. She administered medication as needed. She cleaned up the house and brought our trash cans in after trash day. She was very communicative and kept us updated while on our trip. One of my dogs even tore up a plant while she was out and she cleaned it all up! I highly recommend Mary for any of your pet needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bay Lake is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 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.

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 Bay Lake 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 Bay Lake 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 Bay Lake 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bay Lake. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
