“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.

I will always be grateful to her for helping me out this weekend. Thank you Tori!”
“Isabella was amazing! I had no worries and she followed all my instructions exactly with plenty of updates and pictures.

She kept me updated with photos, communicated quickly anytime I had a question, and was incredibly responsible throughout the entire stay.

I would absolutely book Kailey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”

She is also a classy dresser and a delightful person! Thank you Makenna, we will definitely ask you to stay again. Kathy and Michael”

“Sydney was great with our two pups while we were out of town. Our Malinois got sick just before we left and I let her know we gave him rice and he should be ok. She responded that even if he was still sick, she would take care of it. She let them out frequently and took great care of them! Will be utilizing Sydney again. Thank you! 😊”
“We had such a great experience with Lexus! She stayed at our home for several days to care for our two dogs while we were on vacation & we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept the house tidy, gave us frequent updates with pictures, and her warm personality really shined the minute our dogs met her. They liked her right away and were completely comfortable around her. 💕 We’ll be recommending her to our friends who need sitters & we will definitely call her again the next time we need a sitter! 10/10!”
About: I've loved animals since childhood and I have a collection of my own! Including the basics, 3 cats, and.... geckos, snakes, and quails of cource all our non-venmous and completely hsrmless little ones! No matter what your pet is I would love to care for them and give them the best care possible! If boarding: you pet will be housed in a separate room from my 3 cats to make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible! I will spend as much time as needed with your furry, feathered or scaly pet as needed! No matter my schedule I always block off time to give your baby as much time as they require! I have a separate sectioned off area of my apartment where you pet will get all the enrichment they need without being disturbed by any of my babies.
About: Hi, I’m Valeria! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for pets for family, friends, neighbors, and clients. I currently work at BarkHaven (Dog Bar in Orlando) and have experience with daily walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention while owners are away. I’m also an Occupational Therapy doctoral student, so being dependable, patient, and attentive to individual needs is a huge part of who I am. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or someone to spend quality time with them, I’d love to help! I treat every pet like they’re one of my own. I have a flexible schedule but work a few part-time jobs, so my availability varies throughout the week. I keep my calendar up to date and communicate promptly, making it easy to find times that work. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m always happy to work with owners to maintain their pet’s usual routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules and medications (if needed). I always make sure collars, harnesses, and gates are secure before and after every visit. I can send plenty of photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have always had animals in my life and can't imagine a life without them. I have cared for my friends pets and even my adult children's furbabies. I am comfortable given medications if the need arises. Part of my cat care, would of course include daily cleaning of litter boxes. I enjoy being outside playing catch & return with dogs. I am currently working part-time as a nail technician, so there are days I have plenty of time to do drop-in pet care, because I an independent contractor & manage my own schedule. I would comply to the pet parent's instructions based on each pet's individual requirement. I am very flexible in regards to a pet's needs.

Anneke was a literal dream! This is the first time I've ever had a non-family member watch Rocco and she was so communicative and understanding. She was so good with Rocco and I felt so comfortable with her there. 10/10 all around. We will definitely be booking her again and again!
Kailey was communicative and amazing with my pets! She sent photos daily. My pets were really happy and loved. They went on walks, played fetch, and snuggled. We had a delayed flight home and she made sure they were taken care of. Highly recommended her to anyone in need of a pet sitter! 😊
We are thankful for the care Marin provided for both of our pups while we were away. We hired her for the weekend to house sit and take care of the dogs, and she did a great job! She kept us updated with photos and texts and even handled some unexpected, last minute medication needs for our older pup. We would highly recommend her and would definitely have her sit for us again!
Stephanie was AMAZING! It is so hard to leave them, but she made me so comfortable in knowing my pups were okay. She sent photos and updates daily. And I came home to a clean house which was a fantastic surprise and super nice after being on a business trip! I hope she can take care off f my babes for all of my trips! Thank you Stephanie (and Husband!)
Lexus is an incredible person and she was exactly who our sweet senior pup needed! She is also the exact person two helicopter dog parents needed to feel comfortable leaving a dog that needs a bit of special attention. Lexus proactively kept us informed of how she was doing and was sure to capture lots of little moments to share with us, which we appreciated so much. 100/10 would recommend her highly, we have already booked her for another trip, and honestly feel so relieved knowing our girl has a new friend in Lexus!
Victoria took great care of our dogs while we were traveling, she communicated with us, sent pictures and videos. We would get updates to know the dogs were well taken care of care of, and if she had a concern, she would ask. We would definitely use Victoria again!
Jin was great! Very good communication, sent photos/updates, left home in great shape, and most importantly took care of Duke well even with all his health issues! She was also so kind to be flexible with the schedule due to my son coming home earlier than expected. Appreciate it!
Wynn took excellent care of our pets! We have a big fur crew and I get nervous giving the responsibility to someone, but I had peace of mind on my trip which made a world of difference. She Did everything I asked her to do and sent me detailed updates and photos daily. Communication was great and our cats and dogs got plenty of attention. We have already booked her again. She is a 10 star sitter!!
Jackie is AMAZING. we booked her last minute for our 10 day trip to Italy and she took amazing care of my sweet Sunny and Max. I had beautiful pictures sent to me each day and lots of updates. I felt so much better about leaving my fur babies with her! Will most definitely book her again - she’s a diamond!!
Kellye was absolutely incredible from start to finish! She went above and beyond before, during, and even after her stay with our dogs. She kept us updated with messages and photos, gave them so much love and attention, and truly treated them like they were her own. When we got home, the biggest testament to how amazing she was came from our dogs. They literally ran right past us and waited at the door, looking for Kellye! 😂 It was obvious they had the best time. Knowing our pups were so happy and well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’ll absolutely be booking with Kellye again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and who genuinely goes the extra mile, we can’t recommend her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Goldenrod on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,085 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Goldenrod. 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 Goldenrod 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 Goldenrod 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 Goldenrod 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.
