“Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊”
“Emma was nothing short of amazing going the extra mile. I was sent pictures and videos and updates daily helping me feel at ease while away. I will be trying hard to use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone who wants your dog well taken care of while away”
“My intuition regarding Amy was spot on! She was wonderful; loving, caring and attentive to needs of my pets as well as mine. I was able to travel and enjoy my trip thanks to Amy. All was good while I was away, and at home when I arrived. I will CERTAINLY be hiring her again. Do not think twice in hiring her!!! Thank you Amy for EVERYTHING ?”
“Met Angela through Rover, she is absolutely incredible, I was nervous leaving my senior dog, as he is typically at home or with close friends. She handled him with warmth, compassion and expertise. I came home to calm and happy dog. She skillfully handled my trip emergency definitively recommend her!”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and more than 5 years rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming street dogs, I bring a unique combination of compassion, skill, and reliability. I currently volunteer at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center, where I work hands-on with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, safe, and loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. Your pet will be treated like family—because caring for animals is not just something I do, it’s who I am. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work in delivery, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available at almost any time of the day. I do prefer morning appointments, but I’m always willing to adjust to meet each pet’s needs and ensure they receive the best care possible. In my home, pets enjoy a spacious and secure backyard where they can relax and play comfortably. They sleep inside the house with all the care and comforts they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I adapt to the services they request — whether it’s stopping by once or twice a day for feeding and walks, or staying overnight to ensure their pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for.
“Jaden is so amazing!! My dog Daisy loved her so much and I cannot wait to book again. Also my apartment was left so clean and I received a bunch of photos throughout my trip which really eased all of my anxiety. Would 10000% recommend Jaden!!”
“Shea was wonderful, she watched my dog in my house and took good care of the house and my dog. She was also able to accommodate a day of last minute holiday weekend booking and made the boarding work with her schedule. She sent updates throughout the stay and I would definetly recommend her and use her again!”
“Carly did a fantastic job persisting both our cat and dog. She dropped in once a day with our cat and came multiple times to spend time with our 12 year old out. We couldn’t be happier with the service she provided to both pets”
“I know that my girls are happy that I am home. However I swear they keep running to the door looking for Rebecca. This makes me very happy. All 6 of our "kids" are happy and were well cared for. We have officially adopted Rebecca. So happy we tried Rover and found her!”
“Abby is an amazing caretaker of our dogs. We went away for the weekend and she was kind, caring, loving and responsible with our two dogs. We felt totally at ease and relaxed knowing Abby was taking great care of our precious pups. We will absolutely book Abby again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind my whole life, with a special passion for large breeds. Growing up with my own large dogs and walking neighborhood dogs throughout high school and college has given me hands-on experience with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — especially the big ones who need plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some quality playtime, I’m committed to keeping your dog happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available every day until 2pm, plus evenings and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether you need morning playtime, midday check-ins, or full overnight stays, I can work around your schedule to keep your dog happy and well-cared for. I prioritize leash safety and secure handling on every walk. With years of experience, I’m confident walking large and even reactive dogs using proper techniques and equipment to keep everyone safe. Your pup will receive calm, attentive care in a supervised setting. I’m experienced with all sizes and personalities.
“I couldn’t be happier with Kailee and the care my cats, Fiona and Phoebe, received! She was incredibly responsive and responsible, and I truly felt at ease knowing my kittens were in such good hands. Kailee was sweet and caring, took the time to play with them, and sent regular photo updates where you could clearly see how happy and comfortable they were. It was obvious she really connected with them — even my more reserved cat warmed up to her quickly! I will absolutely reach out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy cat sitter.”
“I highly recommend Olivia! She is incredibly friendly, reliable, and easy to work with. Communication was excellent from start to finish; she kept me updated regularly and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Most importantly, she was loving, attentive, and genuinely cared for my dogs as if they were her own. It gave great peace of mind knowing they were receiving so much affection, attention, and care while I was away. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned. Again I would recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

Erin followed my dogs' schedule exactly as instructed. I was very happy with the care she provided, giving them plenty of attention, cuddles, and love while I was away. We had bad weather that weekend, which makes one of my dogs very nervous, but Erin was always home with them, making sure they felt safe and cared for. I truly appreciated her dedication and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you Erin!!!
Met Angela through Rover, she is absolutely incredible, I was nervous leaving my senior dog, as he is typically at home or with close friends. She handled him with warmth, compassion and expertise. I came home to calm and happy dog. She skillfully handled my trip emergency definitively recommend her!
Kristina was great! Her first time staying with the dogs and she was able to manage both my large dog (who is apprehensive with people) and small dog (who requires medication including insulin). The house looked better than when we left it and both dogs were happy and well taken care of. We will be using her again.
Carola took wonderful care of our animals while housesitting for us! Our fur babies got to stay at home where they are comfortable, and we got to go on our trip and come back and not have to worry about dropping off or picking up our animals from somewhere else. Carola sent pictures every day and it was so reassuring to know everything was just fine and all of their needs were met.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Lake-Orient Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Lake-Orient Park on Rover is $40 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 4,548 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Lake-Orient Park. 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 East Lake-Orient Park 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 East Lake-Orient Park 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 East Lake-Orient Park 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.
