“Rebekah was incredible. So kind and professional. She took great care of our pups at our campsite so that we could enjoy a few hours in Key West without worrying about them being too hot in our RV. She took a lot of care and provided great updates. We highly recommend her. Thank you, Rebekah!”
“Natalie took great care of our little Morkie, Simba. Seeing all of the pictures and videos definitely gave us peace of mind that he felt loved and cared for.”
“Mariah is amazing and so attentive to detail! My pup can be nervous and shy with unfamiliar people, but Mariah did a great job helping her warm up to her. She is very responsive and great to work with 💜”
“Tanisha was fantastic house sitting. Despite some initial challenges with our temperamental feline, she was professional and made us completely comfortable. We hope to have her work with us again soon!”
“Ana was phenomenal with Jeter. She listened and understood what our needs were for him. She was so sweet and she sent me photos throughout the day and communicated very well! Jeter loved her as well. We already booked her for a future date!”
“We're new to the area and had to find a new sitter for our fur babies. We are so fortunate we came across Amber! She made the whole process and experience from the meet and greet to housesitting so effortless. I was really at ease knowing the boys were in great hands and the house was taken care of while we were away. When we returned, the house was in order and the boys were in good shape and so happy. Amber went above and beyond and is a true gem! We are so grateful and know we can count on her when we book with her again in the near future!”
“Cynthia was incredible! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos of our girl. This was the first time we have left our baby girl since the death of our other fur baby, Dexter, in December, so we were really nervous leaving her. Cynthia eased all of our nerves by spoiling our girl rotten, which I personally believe every dog deserves. Thank you, Cynthia, for loving on our fur baby so well. Will definitely be using Cynthia on a regular basis for doggy sitting.”
“Lauren was so amazing with my puppy! She is a very young puppy so has to be watched carefully and has lots of energy which can be hard. But Lauren was so attentive to her and provided me with so many updates! Will absolutely hire again she was the best”
“Valerie house sitted for me watching my dog Breezy and she was AMAZING! I was gone for about 2 and a half days and she stayed at my house to watch my dog, she was very very communicative and updated me with everything regarding breezy, any questions i had as well she responded super quickly and was very open about everything. I would definitely trust her again to watch breezy , she treated him like he was her own dog and that was a huge plus for me ! Thank you so much !”
“Christa was PHENOMENAL! She took such great care of our puppies. She was flexible to all of their unique needs and puppy behaviors while sticking to their routine. Christa was also very communicative, professional, and kind. She made it feel natural to not worry about the pups because we knew they were in good hands.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient nature and genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from playful puppies to slow, moving seniors. I know how to read animal body language and respond in a way that keeps pets feeling safe and secure. As a Diagnostic Medical Sonography student, I’m detail oriented and show dependable qualities that carry over into how I care for pets. Whether it’s giving medication, following feeding routines, or offering extra snuggles, I’m committed to making sure each pet feels comfortable and loved while their owner is away. I’m also great at communicating, so pet parents always know how their furry friend is doing with photo updates and messages. As a full-time Diagnostic Medical Sonography student, my weekdays are fully focused on school. However, I have Fridays available after 2 PM and am fully available on Saturdays and Sundays. That means I can dedicate my weekends to providing attentive, loving pet care, whether that’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight sitting. Since I’m not juggling work during the week, I treat pet care as my weekend job and always show up with energy and focus. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow any instructions closely. I make sure pets stay on their usual schedule for meals, walks, and playtime to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I take safety seriously, doors stay locked, leashes are checked for security, and I never leave a pet unsupervised outdoors. I also believe trust is earned. I give regular updates (photos, messages) so pet parents know their fur baby is happy and safe. I treat every home and animal like my own, with care, responsibility, and love.
“Abigail helped me on short notice in an emergency situation and was able to take over care when another sitter didn’t show. She did an incredible job giving updates, following care instructions, and loving on the cats. She left the home better than she found it and her deep care for animals is evident in both her words and her actions!”
“Kaley was so good to my Murphy boy! Updated me throughout the day constantly with pictures, I love how I didn’t even have to ask for that. She stayed in my home with Murphy and had everything the way I left it when I got back home. Kaley will be my preferred pet sitter from now on!”
“Marissa was an amazing dog sitter! Astro absolutely loved seeing her, and she took such great care of him. She sent plenty of updates, communicated clearly, and made the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommend!”
About: Serving Lake Nona / East Orlando area / Downtown Orlando / Winter park / St. Cloud / Kissimmee Hello Dog/Cat Parents! My name is Elisa, and I’m a pre-vet biology student with a lifelong passion for animals and their care. Ever since I was younger, I’ve loved spending time with animals and began pet sitting and walking dogs for neighbors, which gave me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, caring for animals has become more than just a hobby for me, it’s something I truly love and hope to turn into my lifelong career. I also come from an equestrian background, where I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding animal behavior. Working around horses taught me how important trust and gentle care are, and I carry that same mindset into every pet I care for. A little bit about me, I have my own dog named Wrangler! He’s a very active, high-energy dog, so I’m very comfortable with energetic personalities, long walks, enrichment, and keeping dogs engaged both physically and mentally. We go on 3-mile walks and hikes daily, so whether your dog loves being active or prefers a slower, calmer pace, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I also understand reactive dogs, as my own dog has had reactivity challenges in the past, so I always approach pets with patience, awareness, and compassion. As a future equine veterinarian, animal health and safety are extremely important to me. I’m comfortable administering medications and making sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved and at home, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets P.S: Expect TONS of fun photos! My Pet Care Schedule * I’m available most early mornings early-late afternoons, which works well for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. * I am not available on Sundays or Tuesdays due to religious commitments. * I avoid scheduling walks between 11 AM–12 PM, especially in hot weather, to keep dogs safe from peak heat. * I’m flexible outside of those times and happy to work with each pet’s routine and needs. For example : 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, play, mental enrichment and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy + and comfortable while you're away. How I Care for Pets During House Drop-Ins & Dog Walking * I treat your home with respect, keeping everything clean, organized, and just as you left it, while making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar space. * I follow your pet’s normal routine. walks, meals, potty breaks, and rest so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. * I love incorporating enrichment into my visits, so I often bring a sniff mat and tailor activities to what your dog enjoys most. I pay attention to their personality and preferences so each visit feels engaging and meaningful for them. * I make an effort to really get to know your dog what they like, what motivates them, and what helps them feel happiest so I can adjust my care to fit them, not just a routine. * Treats and rewards are always personalized based on what your dog enjoys (because every good pup has opinions, and I respect them). * I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether they prefer a calm sniff and stroll or a more active outing. * My goal is to make each visit feel positive, enriching, and comforting for your pet, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re genuinely cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Buena Ventura Lakes
Tanisha is fantastic. My dogs’ behavior was absolutely awful when she stayed and I’ve learned I’ll need to separate them for future sitters. Tanisha remained professional and stayed in communication the entire time. She shared lots of information so i could fully understand the behavior and what was happening. I’ve learned It basically takes an act of God to get a reliable sitter and you can definitely rely on her.
We're new to the area and had to find a new sitter for our fur babies. We are so fortunate we came across Amber! She made the whole process and experience from the meet and greet to housesitting so effortless. I was really at ease knowing the boys were in great hands and the house was taken care of while we were away. When we returned, the house was in order and the boys were in good shape and so happy. Amber went above and beyond and is a true gem! We are so grateful and know we can count on her when we book with her again in the near future!
If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and genuinely caring to look after your pets, Vianka is it. As a pet sitter myself, I really appreciated how communicative she was and how much love and attention she gave my two dogs. We booked her last minute for housesitting over Christmas break, and even though we had never met her before, she made us feel so comfortable and safe leaving our babies (and our home) with her. She kept us updated constantly, checked in, and shared little updates that truly meant everything. Tokyo and Ona already miss their new bestie. We’re beyond grateful we found her and will 1,000% be booking her again, and you should too!
Nancy was outstanding and very good at giving me updates as she was watching Bailey. She sent pictures and videos to let me know how Bailey was doing. She also had to deal with an emergency water situation at my house and did an incredible job. My sincere thanks and appreciation to Nancy.
Genesis is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of our dogs and house. I think my dogs miss her already. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, and was a great communicator. I felt very comfortable knowing she was at our house with our dogs. We will definitely have Gen back again and again. She’s the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Buena Ventura Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buena Ventura Lakes on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,059 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buena Ventura Lakes. 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 Buena Ventura Lakes 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 Buena Ventura Lakes 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 Buena Ventura Lakes 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
