“Rebecca is a wonderful pet sitter! She provided the best care to our fur babies. They can be a little skittish with strangers but she won them over quickly. I was so happy to see the photos of happy and calm pups! It helped us enjoy our time away.”
About: With years of experience volunteering for the Orange County animal shelter, helping neighbors by walking their pets & caring for my own puppy for many years I’m currently in online school with a flexible schedule so I am very flexible on times and am willing to work around different schedules and needs. I am dedicated to making the pet owner feel comfortable and will assure tasks are done with the safety and happiness of your pet in mind.
About: Animals have always been apart of my life and to me they are little gifts from God. They teach us how to love and how to be kind to others. My experience with animals range from taking care of multiple cats including an older diabetic cat which I gave insulin shots. I have raised yorkies, goldens and duchsands but I really do love all breeds of dogs. I have cared for birds, turtles and bunnies as well. I currently rescued a paralyzed kitten and trained myself to care for this sweet baby by learning to express his bladder and feed him a special diet that will allow him to have a better quality of life. I can promise you that I will love and care for your animals as if they were my own and will respect and honor all pet owners and their wishes for their animals so when you are away from your fur babies you know that they are being cared for by the best. I am a retired Librarian, my schedule is open to provide care for all types of animals when needed at your convenience and I am adaptable. I have a medium sized fenced yard, I live near beautiful Gemini Springs park for walks and fresh air. I have a separated personal pet room for boarding other pet so they feel safe in a new area with lots or toys and soft blankets.
About: I am a caring, patient, and dependable animal lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I will treat your pets with love, attention, and respect while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am happy to follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will do my best to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet has their own personality and needs, and I will take the time to get to know yours! I currently work full-time from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with a one-hour break. I can provide care before work, during my break when location and timing allow, and after work. In the evenings, I can stay at your home to give your pets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I am also saving for PTA school, which I plan to start in January. Once school begins, my work schedule is expected to become much more flexible, allowing me to dedicate even more time to caring for your furry family members. I will always communicate clearly to make sure your pet’s needs and schedule are a good fit! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. When caring for your pets in your home, I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I will treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets, and I will do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs, routines, and any special instructions before each booking.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Florida
We couldn't be more grateful to Rebecca for all the care, kindness, and thoughtfulness she showed while taking care of our Brittany-doodle, Sir Quigley, and our home. Our pup is not a traveler so knowing he could stay home while we had to be away for 4 days and be well taken care of was a huge relief for us. Rebecca went above and beyond in ways that made our time away and homecoming easier. A five-star rating isn't high enough.
Kelly is so great with all of my animals. She takes wonderful care of them and always goes above and beyond to make sure I’m able to relax while I’m away from my babies. 🙂 She is proactive about confirming bookings and special instructions, sends me lots of pictures, and even washed my pets’ dishes this past time! I truly don’t have to worry about anything when she’s on duty. We’ve had Kelly sit for us for a couple of years now. Two of our three pups have passed away over the years, so she is especially meaningful to us because she has that long-term knowledge, care, and reliability. Thank you so much, Kelly!

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 Fort Florida 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 Fort Florida 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 Fort Florida 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.
