“We all love Curtis and highly recommend! He was so wonderful with our little fur babies. He so tentative with them and his communication helped keep us at ease. We WILL be using him much more in the future, not just for our long trips but also for our day trips too. Thank you again Curtis for caring for Happy and Leia like they were your own. See you again soon!”
“Zoe was absolutely amazing with my dog! She treated him with so much love and care, and I felt completely at peace while he was with her. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I’m so grateful and would definitely trust Zoe again!”
About: Taking care of fur babies has been a passion of mine since a very young age. I used to pretend to be the neighborhood dog trainer at the age of like 7! I’m no dog trainer, but I’m definitely able to love and care for your fur babies like they deserve. I can’t offer 24/7 care as I work a full time job, however the hours are pretty flexible. I’m typically off Wednesday and Thursday so I’m available anytime. Friday-Tuesday it varies but I’m typically available in the morning to 4pm :) I have 3 cats who I love very much. I’m a great communicator and will keep in contact and provide pictures through out the experience. If your pet is happy, then I am too!
“Elizabeth was great to work with. She was on time, followed instructions perfectly and most importantly my pups had a great time with her and were well cared for. Thank you!🙏 we will be happy to have you back.”
“Kayla was absolutely the best with our pups! We could not have asked for anyone to care for them and the house better. She is incredibly communicative and thoughtful and is was so nice to be able to go away and know for certain that they were in great hands. Thank you Kayla!!”
“Shannon was amazing with my dogs! She followed all my instructions and sends many updates which I appreciate! My dogs much prefer staying at home vs a kennel and will definitely be using Shannon in the future! Be assured your pets are in great hands with her!”
“If we could leave 10 stars we would! Shawnee is amazing! Our babies loved her, and she took such great care of not only our babies but our home as well. We had some unexpected appliance issues arise while we were away, Shawnee was great about communicating with us and letting us know not only what was going on, but stepping in and making sure that everything was taken care of as if it was her home. She reached out every day and let is know how our pups were doing, and took amazing pictures, and sent us multiple pictures every day. We cannot express our gratitude for everything that Shawnee did for us, and how well she cared for our babies, they were so happy and well cared for. Of course it's never easy to leave your pets when you go away, but moving forward when we travel and can't take our pups with us, we will be reaching out to Shawnee to come back and take care of them, we know that we have nothing to worry about when Shawnee is caring for our pups and our home. Thank you Shawnee you are AMAZING!!!!”
“Stephanie is a blessing!! I’m so glad we found her, our pups was in such a good mood when we got home. Our house and pups was well taken care of! We will definitely reuse her!”
About: I am my friends and family’s go to dog/cat-sitter. I’ve began taking care of pets regularly within the past 6 years. I’m happy to walk, feed and bathe pets, as well as any other task requested of me. :) I’m open and available everyday to petsit and dog walk. I work from my laptop Sat-Thurs from 12pm-8pm EST aside from pet duties ❤️ If you don’t mind my remote work, I’m happy to pet sit! When walking dogs, I make sure the harness and leash are fully secure. I double check doors all the time to make sure pets don’t escape. I can gently crate dogs. I also walk my own cats on a leash or in a stroller. I put them on a harness to ensure they don’t escape when carrying them or while they’re in the stroller.
About: I have cared for many pets my whole life! I’ve taken in feral litters of cats and helped raise them until they were able to be adopted, I have cats, and help with the care of 4 dogs of varying sizes. I have had cats and all types of dogs growing up! I love making sure furry family feels loved, and gets taken care of. I am just starting out, however Rover is my full time job. I use this platform so I can still care for my little brother on the weekends. Some people have help with Rover, but I am working solo so please be patient with me. I have a fenced in portion of the yard just for our dogs to run around as they please, they have set meal times and have constant access to love and snuggles! My cats also get all the love and playtime they want.
“Kristina was above and beyond what we ever expected. her never ending love and attention she gave our fur babies was amazing it’s like they just gained a second mama bear ❤️ The pups were excited to see us when we got home but we’re also super relaxed because well Kristina was here they had no stress only LOT OF LOVE!!! She was amazing at sending us updates with adorable pictures & videos. We also returned home to see she cleaned the house and brought in the mail, so all we had to do was relax and snuggle with everyone❤️ Kristina will be always be first on our list if we need someone to watch our fur babies.”
About: I have been a veterinary technician for 3+ years and counting. We have had pets in our home since I can remember. I have grown up with the love and loyalty that our pets provide and is something that I cherish. I started pet sitting for coworkers and clients for about 2 years now. I love helping fellow pet owners with caring for their pets in a time of need. My favorite thing is gaining trust from pet owners and ensuring that owners have peace of mind when it comes to being away from their pets. Having the medical background that I do also helps to ensure that your senior babies are being taken care of properly. Pets are family. I am currently a full time veterinary technician and work all days (8am-6pm) except Tuesdays, every other Saturdays (only from 8am- 12pm), and Sundays. With my full time schedule, I make sure that a pets needs come first. I will only pet sit for pets that I can guarantee my utmost care. I house sit a lot as well so this is helpful with my full time job. I tend to pet sit close to my job so if I have to leave in the middle of the day to take a dog out, I definitely can. I make sure to follow all written or printed instructions to a T. I also make sure to stay in close contact with owners (not too close to ruin your vacation) to ensure that they are still at peace of mind throughout their time away. I also love to send photos of their pets while they’re gone so they’re not missing out on too much :)
“Jen was fantastic taking care of our fur babies. This was the first time we used a pet sitter and it was great. We would recommend Jen to everyone. She sent us pictures and updates during the week. We will definitely use Jen again when we travel.”
“Sarah is great! My dog is very needy and requires a lot of attention to remain comfortable. Upon returning home after their first visit I walked into my dog happy, sleeping and very content. It means a lot when your dog sitter treats your dog the same way you do so that the time away is less stressful on your pet. I will be using Sarah for watching Mona Lisa over and over. Thank you!!!”
About: Pet sitters concentrate on the care of the pet. I , however focus on not only care but also pet behavior training , and nutritionists. Pet care is built into my daily schedule with dedicated time each morning and evening for feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care. I plan my workday around these responsibilities to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and supervision. Throughout the week, I schedule additional time for longer walks, grooming, cleaning pet areas, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I stay flexible to accommodate any special needs, medications, or changes in routine. Pet care is a regular and structured part of my routine, not an afterthought. I prioritize reliability, consistency, and the well-being of the animals while balancing other responsibilities. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walking and play routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I ensure pets have fresh food and water, regular exercise, and plenty of attention and affection. I maintain a clean and safe environment by keeping pet areas tidy, securing doors and gates, safely storing food and supplies, and using pet-safe products. I closely monitor pets for changes in behavior or health and communicate updates with owners to ensure peace of mind. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, stress-free, and cared for as if they were my own while respecting the client’s home and preferences.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals as far as I can remember. such as dogs, cats, birds and fish lol. So trust me when I says your fur babies are in great hands. I have a German Shepard/lab dog so taking care of your fur baby will blend right in with our daily walk sessions when the weather allows us to do so. Your for baby will be an excellent hands with the help of our dog Jacob. We have a huge backyard which is more than enough room for the babies to play. Not to worry they are never left unattended
About: I've had dogs all my life and currently I have a beautiful little dog who is my life. I like to take good care of them, give them healthy food and take them for walks. My experience with other dogs is beautiful. I have a job from 2 pm onwards, Monday through Friday. I could take care of and walk your dog every morning and have them sleep on the weekends. I would love to board with you and take them for walks in all the parks and areas. I have a fence in my yard and a beautiful little dog for company and a new family with your pet. I make healthy dog food and snacks and they will have special care.
“Evan was fantastic with our 4 high maintenance "children". This was our first time using her and we did just a short 2 night trial before doing our longer trip Later this month. She communicated throughout the stay, sent pictures and left our house in great condition. We will definitely secure her for our future dates and many more!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cypress Gardens
Curt is amazing! It was kind of a last minute booking and he didn’t hesitate with jumping in to help us. I was so anxious and even with my constant overbearing texts, he was communicative and compassionate. He loved our sweet girl just like we do. With her being a senior dog we were nervous leaving her behind, but Curt always made sure to make adjustments if needed and was always looking to make Delilah as comfortable as he could. It took her a night or two, but after that she slept right next to him every night and that made us feel even better in our choice to have him sit for us. Curt not only enjoys pet sitting, but genuinely has such a compassion and love for animals, we could tell from the moment he walked in the door. We highly recommend him and will be using him again in the future. Delilah sends all her love and says thank you for the best week of her life.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cypress Gardens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cypress Gardens on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,415 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cypress Gardens. 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 Cypress Gardens 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 Cypress Gardens 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 Cypress Gardens 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.
