About: Hey, I'm a pet parent just like you! My whole life has been taking care of all sorts of pets and animals. Since I was a kid, I always wanted to learn more about animal behavior and found a passion in nurturing. I had begun my journey working at a local doggy daycare, I enjoyed my time so much that I decided to further my animal studies and strive for a degree in Veterinary Medicine. Due to school, I'm a seasonal worker as a Kennel Technician at the Winter Park Veterinary Hospital taking care of different kinds of pets and learning under the medical practice. I can promise a grade A experience for not only your fur baby but also for pet parents alike! Enrolled at Seminole State College with a hybrid of in-person and online courses. I'm constantly on the move but that's what I love. Keeping myself busy and pushing for hard work just keeps me grounded. If you need any of my animal services, I would be more than happy to help. If you need a certain routine, I'll be there to work with you and your lovely pet. You can book with me anytime and I'll always try to make room for a pet in need! To my pet parents who are interested in booking my service; I oath to care and protect your pet by all means. Confidently, I prioritize providing top notch services to all of my clients under any circumstance.

“I can not recommend Anna enough! We were so lucky to find her, she was wonderful with my two dogs Cali and Remi. You can tell she loves animals and is very responsible and attentive. One of my dogs was recovering with stitches and occasional bleeding and she took such great care of him and made sure to give us regular detailed updates. I would book her again anytime!”
“Kenya has sat for us numerous times. Our aloof senior will now walk up to her for pets unsolicited while our 7yr old foster is so excited to see her when she arrives. Signs of a great sitter.”
“Mercedes was amazing and I can’t say that enough! My dog recently had a major surgery on his front leg for cancer right before I had to leave for a work trip. I can’t thank her enough for monitoring his movement, giving him medication, and being present with him as he is recovering. Thank you again!”
“Tori stepped in to help with my two dogs at such a crucial point for me. She completely lived up to all of her 5 star reviews. Communication in meeting the dogs, leading up to the stay and during the stay was excellent. She sent pictures and gave me the updates that were so important to me. I will always be grateful to her for helping me out this weekend. Thank you Tori!”
“Makenna dog sat for us for 4 nights and was great! She sent pictures daily and kept me in the loop. Dogs seemed happy as ever! She also was a great guest - stripped the bed before leaving and kept the house tidy. Will be rebooking. Thanks again!!!”
“Michael was wonderful! He took such great care of our Dog Branch! Excellent communication and he sent sweet pictures everyday of Branch with an update. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was being taken care of and loved! He stayed in our home and took excellent care of Branch and the house was immaculate when we arrived home! Thank you Michael for such great care of our dog Branch! We will be happy to have him watch and care for him in the future!”
“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”
“First of all, I must say that Brenda and Dwain are great ambassadors for Dog setting. Prior to us going on vacation our dog Molly suffered two seizures in one day and we were about to go on vacation in a month and a half, having Brenda and Dwayne taking care of Molly and ensuring she got her medication while we were on a cruise in the Caribbean. There was a point during the vacation. Molly didn’t want to take her medication with the pill pockets. Dwayne and Brenda got some peanut butter and insured that Molly had her medication the entire time we were gone. I plan on using Dwayne and Brenda more often because of the care that they gave Molly, also they took pictures and gave us daily reports and how she was feeling while we were on the cruise. I would highly recommend if you have a pet that you love very much hire Brenda and Dwayne.. I want to thank both Brenda and Dwayne for taking care of our puppy. I highly recommend them. David & Denise. 🙏”
“Mariia was absolutely amazing with lotus and coco. Thanks to her I was finally able to enjoy a vacation worry and stress free. I’ve used Rover once in the past and had an awful experience with two different people canceling on me a day and two days before my trip and then the sitter that finally agreed to watch them, canceling on me after I left for my trip. My dogs can be super crazy at first and need some time getting used to someone new. Mariia came over once to meet them for a bit and then came over early the day I was leaving to spend some time with them before I left and that really helped my dogs get comfortable with her. I definitely over worry any time I’m away from my dogs and stress about whether they’re being good, but she stayed in contact with me every day sending messages and photos and it really helped me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my dogs. I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone that I can rely on to watch them when I go on vacation. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Marie is the BEST! I am so thankful that I left my sweet, sometimes challenging, senior dog with Marie during my trip to Europe. Marie is confident with all kinds of medications and based on all of the photos she sent, my dog enjoyed was beyond loved and happy the whole time. Traveling with the comfort, knowing that my pup was taken care of meant everything to me. Thank you, Marie!!”
“Nathan took excellent care of our dog and cat, making sure to clarify instructions for medications, etc. When our flight was cancelled last minute, he was kind enough to stay another night at very short notice, which we greatly appreciated! He left the house very clean and tidy. We will certainly book him again.”
“Christina was a huge hit with both of my pups from their first meeting. Having her housesit for us for a long weekend was fabulous- she was very communicative, sending lots of pictures, and made sure the pups were comfortable. We’ll definitely work with her again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Colleen was wonderful with our cats while we were away for the weekend! She communicated really well throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind, and she left our house spotless. We came home to happy cats. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Kailey was amazing! She took wonderful care of Diesel and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos, communicated quickly anytime I had a question, and was incredibly responsible throughout the entire stay. I also came home to a very clean and tidy house, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing Diesel and my home were in good hands. I would absolutely book Kailey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a child. My dog passed and since have focused on helping friends, family, and associates care for their beloved pets. I work full time but have a flexible schedule and the ability to work remotely if needed. I am an early riser but also happy to accommodate late night visits and over night stays. I currently do not pet sit in my home but am happy to make as many trips as needed to your location, work from your location during the day, or stay overnight if preferred.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fairview Shores is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairview Shores
Hailey has been my cat sitter for several years now and this was the first time she did an overnight stay. As always, she was great with Zelda and very communicative. She was a respectful house guest leaving it cleaner than she found it. I highly recommend her for you pet sitting needs!
The best pet sitter we've ever had. Hands down. We felt totally comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. She kept in regular communication with us, shared photos of our babies enjoying their time, which allowed us to relax, and enjoy our vacation worry-free. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Deborah is wonderful! I was really nervous about going to NYC for 7 days and leaving my kitty Chloe alone….who has never been left alone before. My aunt and a friend were available during the day to check on her, but I really wanted someone to stay overnight for a min of 2 nights. I discovered Rover and was very impressed with the app, reviews and pet sitter screenings. As soon as I met Deborah the day before my departure, she put my mind at ease and I knew that my little Chloe was in good hands and would be given some affection. When Deborah spent the night, she touched base with me via text and provided updates and photos of her interactions with Chloe. I highly recommend Deborah and will definitely hire her again!
Christina was a huge hit with both of my pups from their first meeting. Having her housesit for us for a long weekend was fabulous- she was very communicative, sending lots of pictures, and made sure the pups were comfortable. We’ll definitely work with her again!
We had a fantastic experience with Shauna! The level of care is 5 stars across the board. We extended our trip and she was even able to accommodate last minute. When we got home we can tell the fur babies and house was well cared for. So glad we found her and beyond grateful!
Isabella was AMAZING with our cat, Finn! She made sure he was taken care of and gave him lots of cuddles while we were away overnight for my birthday trip. She’s very attentive and always asked what our preferences were while she stayed at our home. We will definitely be booking her again! :)
The clearest review I can give is the fact that we will be using Kaya each and every time that she is available. She was prompt, responsive, professional, and treated our house and our dog as if they were her own. I can highly recommend her, and as I indicated, we will be using her again in the future.

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 Fairview Shores 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 Fairview Shores 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fairview Shores 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
