“This was the first time we used Rover and we are very pleased. Erin was fantastic. She was very responsible, and communicative and responded to our texts very quickly. She loves animals and immediately took to our dachshunds and they really liked her as well. The pups were great when we arrived home and our house looked like we never left. I would definitely use Erin again if need be and highly recommend her.”
“Jenna did a great job communicating while taking care of our dogs! It was clear she spent a lot of her time with them making sure they were comfortable while we were on vacation. Would definitely recommend her to dog sit!”
“She is the BEST! Someone we can trust with our girls and our home without hesitation. One of the best at what they do — you can work with them confidently. We are very happy, and so are our girls. Thank you for everything.”
About: Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience as a professional dog walker and pet sitter for a local pet sitting company. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve also had the privilege of fostering animals, which has given me even more experience understanding their unique needs. I’m a proud cat mom to two cats of my own and know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. I treat every animal I care for like they are my own, whether that means going on walks, giving lots of love and attention, keeping up with their routines, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m an early riser and love starting my mornings with walks, so I’m available for morning dog walks and drop-in visits. My full-time career is in real estate, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and work on the go. I’m able to build pet care into my day and provide reliable, loving attention while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and look forward to making part of my routine. I primarily care for pets in my client’s home, where I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I know pets feel safest in their own environment, so I follow their normal feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owners. I provide lots of love, attention, and updates so you can feel confident your pets are happy and cared for while you’re away.
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.
“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!”
“Beth is the best! There wasn't 1 minute while I was gone over the weekend where I wasn't 100% sure my Benny was safe, cozy, comfortable, well cared for and happy! Thank you for your care Beth!”
“Christian was great! My dog gets separation anxiety when I leave and anytime I asked for an update, he was quick to respond. He was very accommodating to any requests I had. Looking forward to using him again in the future!”
“Hailey did a superb job of taking care of our six fur babies, ranging from two senior dogs and a 4 month old Great Pryness puppy. My pack instantly loved her. She is very easy to work with, very respectful of property, and kept our house schedule for feedings. I highly recommend Hailey and will definitely higher her again.”
About: What sets us apart is that we’re a dedicated pet-loving couple, which means your pet gets double the attention, supervision, and affection. We truly treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. We’re attentive to each pet’s personality and routine — whether that means energetic walks and playtime, or calm companionship for more relaxed or senior pets. We’re also patient with shy animals and happy to follow detailed care instructions, feeding schedules, and medication needs. Pet care fits easily into our routine since we both work from home and are available throughout the day to provide attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. After we finish work around 5 PM, we have plenty of time in the evenings for longer walks, playtime, and check-ins. We occasionally go to the gym during the week, but we always plan our schedules to make sure the pets in our care receive consistent attention and reliable care. We focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, we make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and have a clean and safe environment. We’re also happy to give medication, refresh water, and keep litter boxes clean if needed.
“Victoria did an amazing job with my 2 puppies. They absolutely loved her and had a great time. She sent updates though the afternoon/night with pictures and it was amazing to see them calm and sleeping ir playing and eating. Will absolutely recommend her!”
“Kristina was extremely attentive to my pups and stayed with them for the entire week while I was away! She even won my dog Nicholas over and he spent his days belly up sunbathing and she took great care of my Wylie- will definitely book again!”
“I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care Mary and her mum provided for my dog. She and her mum were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. This was a last-minute request, yet they stepped in with such kindness and reassurance that I instantly felt at ease leaving my nine-year-old boy in their care and trusting them in my home. He was so well looked after, and they left my house in perfect condition. I’m truly grateful and will 100% be reaching out to them again.”
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Lake-Orient Park
Jessica helped us out with a last minute request, asked a lot of good questions at the meet and greet, and took great care of our kitties. They liked her immediately and everyone was happy and healthy when we came home. She sent tons of cute photos and updates throughout the stay! She also took great care of our place and went above and beyond. Thanks again!
This was the first time we used Rover and we are very pleased. Erin was fantastic. She was very responsible, and communicative and responded to our texts very quickly. She loves animals and immediately took to our dachshunds and they really liked her as well. The pups were great when we arrived home and our house looked like we never left. I would definitely use Erin again if need be and highly recommend her.
We can’t recommend Angela enough! We hired her in a pinch before a trip, and she was so accommodating and easy to work with. She took amazing care of our dogs, loved on them like they were her own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We even came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left! She truly went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be using her again.
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 $36.38 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,436 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.

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.
