“I was a initially hesitant about a higher rate sitter, but Susan had the extra background check, had reviews from multiple clients, and took her own time for a meet and greet before we booked so we could get to know her and her passion for caring for others. She took great care of my bulldog while I took a nearby staycation. The peace of mind proved worthwhile. We have already booked her for another longer stay and are thankful Rover connected us!”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
About: I grew up in a pet family and I always had a way of forming special bonds with them. I grew up with cats, dogs, lizards, rodents, and snakes. All creatures are special and unique and deserve care specific to them. I have pretty open availability! I am a barista, and my schedule is really flexible! I typically only work 6 hours a day, so I’m sure I can fit your needs! My pets at home are welcome to free roam. But every situation is different and you understand what your pet needs better than I will. I’ve always been great with direction so tell me what to needs to be done and it will be.
“Elizabeth remains our favorite sitter for our elderly kitty. She is attentive and professional, and her calming, nurturing presence is exactly what our cat needs. She is great with medication and regimented schedules. We look forward to having her back again.”
“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”
“Wonderful house sitter & took terrific care of our cat Oscar. Deborah leapt in to help us on short notice when another Rover sitter bailed the night before she was due to start. My wife and I highly recommend Deborah and would be happy to use her again.”
“Isis was great. She took the time to do a meet and greet before my trip, to get the lay of the land and meet the pups. Throughout the tip got regular updates about how the pups were getting on, and very responsive to messages sent throughout the trip.”
“Another rover canceled on us at the last second, and Britta was able to step in and take our reservation at the last minute. She was excellent with our dog Libby, took her on walks, played with her, and they had a great time. She also sent us pics and updates and took great care of our house while she was there! We would definitely recommend her and use her again.”
“Alicia is THE BEST! My doggie can be very picky and afraid and Alicia made this easy for me (1st time Rover user). If you are hesitant at all about trying Rover out- don’t be. The experience couldn’t have been better. Alicia made time to let us meet her before we left for the week, she took pictures of our doggie while we were away, gave her meds, and was so patient with not just Reefie- but her doggy mom, me! She also left a little gift bag and sanitized before we got home. Alicia, thank you so much for everything. ?????”
About: My Name if Kimberley. Leaving your dog with someone else can feel like a BIG deal. You want to know they are safe, loved and with someone who can handle them in all aspects. That's exactly what I'm here for! I have cared for dogs for over 25 years. I especially love working with active, playful, and high energy dogs who need more than just a quick walk around the block. I'm comfortable handling big personalities, lots of energy, and dogs who need plenty of mental and physical stimulation. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like one of their own, I'd love to meet you both. I live in Downtown Orlando very close to Lake Eola. I will care for your pets as if they were my own and I always treat them like part of the family. I do not smoke or have kids so your dog will get the attention he or she deserves. I am open to all different ranges of dog breeds and ages. I also do cat drop in visits. I'm currently working part time with a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am available most days and evenings with advanced notice for potty breaks and Drop In visits. I live in Downtown Orlando so I'm very close to Lake Eola and Delany Park. Plus I'm close to many dog parks if that is something your dog loves.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, including owning six dogs and two cats and fostering more than 50 pets. Fostering has given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities and care needs, including puppies, seniors and pets who are sick or need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special care instructions and helping senior or special-needs pets with their daily routines. I also have experience reinforcing basic puppy and dog training, including commands, house-training routines and good manners. Most importantly, I’m patient and understand that every pet is different. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, older and needs a slower pace, or simply takes some time to warm up to new people, I’m happy to meet them where they are and care for them according to their normal routine. PLEASE NOTE: At this time, I work away from home from 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday with a break around 10am where I come home for 30 minutes. There are cameras within my home I use to keep watch over any pets that are under my care during my working hours. I am also not home or available Fridays at 8pm till Saturdays at 6pm and do not accept having pets in my care during these times as I am far from home and cannot attend to them in the case of any emergency. I have a set schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding and overnight stays, and can easily accommodate different feeding, exercise and medication schedules. I’m also happy to keep pets on the routine they’re already comfortable with. I try to keep every pet’s routine as familiar and consistent as possible, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, sleeping arrangements and any special needs, while giving each pet plenty of attention and affection at their own comfort level. I have a friendly, neutered 2-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd named Rocket, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable around another dog. I take introductions seriously and want both your pet and mine to feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful of their space and routines and make sure owners receive regular photos and updates while they’re away.
“Makenzy did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! He’s a senior dog who is very cautious of new people, but Makenzy sent photos daily and I received cheerful updates as he warmed up to her. I will definitely book again. Thanks Makenzy!”
“Monserrat accommodated the last minute change to my schedule and traveled back and forth from her house daily to spend the day with our girls. I greatly appreciate her willingness and flexibility.”
“Rylee did an amazing job! She sent us plenty of photos and really made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her!! She was so respectful to our house and our dog!! I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 6 years, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love doing. I started by helping friends, neighbors, and family with their pets, and over time I became the person everyone called when they needed someone they could trust. I’m also a Frenchie mom, so I understand how important it is to have someone who treats your pets like family. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities.. Whether a dog is shy, playful, or a little stubborn, I have patience and experience working with different personalities. When I come for a visit, I don’t just do the basics and leave. I make sure your pets get love, playtime, and real interaction so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re gone. Over the years, I’ve helped with feeding routines, medication, crate time, potty breaks, walks, and keeping pets entertained and comfortable. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe and cared for. Your pets will be treated like my own with plenty of affection, attention, and care at every visit. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I currently work part-time from home and make my own schedule. This gives me plenty of flexibility to stop by for visits and walks throughout the day. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, or evening care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to make sure they get the attention and love they need. I’m also available on weekends and can often accommodate same-day requests if something comes up unexpectedly. As a Frenchie mom, I know how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. At home, my own dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and walks throughout the day, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your routines and instructions so your pets feel secure and comfortable. I take my time during visits, make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and lots of love. I’m gentle, patient, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always come first.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewood
This was our second time having Jayden watch Mars, and once again, the experience was absolutely fantastic. Mars is an incredibly affectionate dog who demands constant love and attention, and she completely matched her energy. It can be tough to find a sitter who truly leans into a velcro-dog's need for endless cuddles and playtime, but she made Mars feel like the center of the universe the entire time. Throughout the stay, I received wonderful updates and photos showing Mars looking completely content and showered with affection. It brings so much peace of mind knowing I can leave my dog with someone who genuinely loves and understands her personality. Jayden is officially our go-to sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for attentive, top-tier pet care!
Cynthia was absolutely wonderful with our boys! She sent us lots of photo and video updates every morning and evening, which we really appreciated and looked forward to while we were away. We could tell that she went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for, comfortable, and having a good time. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and thoughtful, and she also kept our home very tidy throughout her stay. It was clear when we returned that our boys had been in great hands, which alleviated so much of the stress and worry that comes with leaving them behind. They are truly part of our family, so having someone we could trust to care for them so well meant a lot to us. We are so grateful we found her and will absolutely be reaching out again for any of our future pet-sitting needs. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur babies!
Susan was great, she came to our hotel and stayed with our pups while we went and enjoyed Discovery Cove and Aquatica. Meeting Susan before hand was a pleasure and our pups took to her and didn't want to leave her side. We felt very at ease while we were out enjoying the various activities. She sent us pictures and kept us updated with what the pups were up to. This was our first time using Rover and Susan has some very good reviews and she surpassed them with the care and understanding that made our weekend vacation stress free and enjoyable. We look forward to having Susan help us out again when we visit Orlando and our pups really did enjoy spending time with her.
She was fabulous and very responsive to our requests. We received wonderful photos and amazing care of our cat and dog while we were gone. Came back to a clean house and happy animals and loved the incredibly thorough details that we received while gone. Thank you for being so easy to work with! It’s always a relief knowing your babies are in good hands.
Robin was great! She arrived on time and took care of our precious pets! She kept us informed and took pictures of the pets, we could see they were enjoying themselves. This was our first time having a pet sitter to our home and Robin made us feel very comfortable and did an excellent job. We will definitely have her back again!
Kevin is an absolute gem! I recently had him watch my two dogs for three days while I was away in Phoenix, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped them off, I knew they were in great hands. Kevin is attentive, caring, and genuinely loves animals — my pups came back happy, well-fed, and clearly well looked after. It’s not easy finding someone you can fully trust with your fur babies, especially for multiple days at a time, but Kevin made the whole experience completely stress-free. I didn’t have to worry for a single second while I was away. He went above and beyond, and it really showed. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and responsible to care for your dogs, look no further than Kevin. I will absolutely be calling him again the next time I need a dog sitter. Highly, HIGHLY recommend! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Edgewood is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $70 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 Edgewood 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 Edgewood 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 Edgewood 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
