“Lyle & Karen helped me with feeding my dog Cody who had suddenly developed an aversion to food, also administered medication that is nearly impossible to do by myself. It's especially helpful to have 2 people assisting me instead of just one. They were very patient and caring. I really appreciate them coming to see Cody, and want to apologize about the sloppy "canine cookies" instead of the liquid meal that I originally had planned to feed him. I hope to see them again for another visit. It's especially convenient how close they live to us. Thank you for everything.”

“What can I say that hasn't been said before?! Jenna is just amazing! From going the extra mile even when I had to change the previously booked dates to noticing one of my cats flare-ups. She is punctual, attention to detail and so sweet to the furry family 🙏. Thank you sooo much again!!!”


“Great experience! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of Peaches while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Peaches was in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”


“Lexus was very professional and friendly. She helped calm our nerves by coming to our house to meet our dog and talk with us about expectations. Lexus was always on time and kept us updated with photos and reports. Shiloh loved her!! We will definitely be booking her again in the future! Thank you, Lexus!”

About: Animals have been part of my life from day one. I grew up with two veterinary technicians as parents, so caring for pets wasn't just something we did, it was part of our family. At 15, I got my first job as a kennel technician, where I learned how to safely handle dogs of every size, age, and personality. Over the years, I've had the joy of owning dogs and cats of all kinds, including raising three Great Pyrenees through college and adulthood. Giant breeds taught me patience, consistency, and how to confidently handle even the strongest dogs. Whether your pup loves a leisurely "sniffari" with plenty of time to explore or prefers an energetic jog to burn off some zoomies, I'm happy to match their pace and personality. I have experience with puppies, seniors, large breeds, small breeds, and everything in between. I know your pets are family, and I'll care for them with the same attention, safety, and love I'd want for my own. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. I'm available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. My flexible workday means your pets will receive reliable, attentive care and won't be left waiting for their visit. I understand that trusting someone with both your pets and your home is a big decision. I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I'll follow your routines and instructions carefully to help them feel relaxed while you're away. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and dependable care every step of the way.
About: I have 15 years of pet experience ranging from dogs to rodents and bunnies. I have taken care of dogs and have experience with them through their various life stages—from puppy to senior. I am no stranger to administering oral and topical medications for dogs and small animals like rodents. I have 2 years of professional dog walking experience, and I am eager to walk a cat down the sidewalk sometime too. I am a graduate student visiting home for the summer. I’ll be in the Upper Marlboro area from May 20 to August 10th, 2024. Also, for dog walking, my availability is really from 12pm-4pm on the days I highlighted, so it is important you schedule me between that time frame. I will be returning to Florida to complete my degree. I am a rule follower. Before I take on a client I always do a meet and greet to ensure the dog or cat and I are a good fit. Animals can be particular and I avoid perilous situations by meeting the dog to discern whether they like me or not. Once you show me something twice, I never forget it, so providing me with detailed notes on how you want your dog to be walked and situated in your home is ideal.

About: With 6 years of dedicated experience caring for dogs of all life stages from energetic puppies to gentle seniors I provide deeply reliable, attentive pet care. Living steps from a popular Orlando park, I specialize in active, scenic outdoor walks. Because I lived with and consistently pet sat my sister's dog for years, I treat every cat and dog with true, family style devotion. My availability is perfectly tailored for before 6AM walks, after 5 PM weekday check ins and open, flexible weekend boarding, giving busy local owners total peace of mind. As a professional engineer with a structured 8 AM to 4 PM office schedule, my daily routine is highly predictable and reliable. I kick off my mornings with early bird energy, meaning I am fully available for brisk morning walks or drop in visits anytime before 6 AM to get your pet ready for the day.After sitting at a desk all day, getting home to active exercise is exactly what I need. My evening hours after 5PM are completely wide open, making me highly available for long park walks, dinner feedings, and playtime. Weekends are even more flexible for extended care. Because I cannot have a dog of my own right now, your cats and dogs get 100% of my focus, affection, and energy! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a highly secure, pet-friendly apartment equipped with a smart home system, allowing me to remotely verify locked doors and manage optimal lighting for your pets. I have dedicated cameras monitoring both the exterior entryway and the indoor living area, ensuring I can constantly check in on your pet visually even when I step out. Before any stay, I require a meet-and-greet to ensure a great fit. Because I do not own a dog of my own, your pet enjoys a stress-free environment as the exclusive center of attention. For cleanups, I keep a bissel green machine on hand to handle any accidental messes instantly, keeping the space pristine. As well as, living steps from a popular local dog park, I utilize secure, double clip leashes for all outdoor walks to guarantee zero risk of escape. I closely monitor the Florida heat and pavement temperatures, ensuring walks are safe, shaded, and well hydrated. During in home check ins, I strictly follow your specific entry, feeding, and locking instructions, and I will always send you photo updates and a detailed report card after every single visit.
“I cannot say enough how wonderful our experience with Angelina was! She was great with communication, was super respectful, kind, and incredibly sweet! She always made sure to send videos & pictures of our cats which made us so happy. :-) On top of the care we asked for (food, water, litter box) she played with our boys and gave them lots of loving - she even took our trash out for us! We don't have many friends in Orlando yet, so Rover & Angelina truly put our anxieties to rest when we had to leave town for a while. Thank you so much Angelina!!”

“Tori is the wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my odin. Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She kept me in the loop about everything going on. I would wholeheartedly recommend tori😍”

About: With having dogs all my life I know nothing different. I’ve had 2 dogs for the last 7 years with most recently getting 3 more. I'm open to all dogs and will treat your fur babies like they were mine! My schedule this summer is very flexible and I make a good effort in ensuring that my calendar is up to date. I am able to ensure that each dog I care for gets the attention they deserve. I ensure that I go by the instructions given to me by the owners as pertaining to feeding and walking schedule. I do my best to be the best fill in for your pet as you are away. Overall I like to ensure even with you away that there really is no difference in your pets schedule or day to day routines.

“Ashley watched my dog and two cats and was amazing! My dog doesn’t generally like new people but Ashley was amazing with Missy! Thank you for the care and love for my fur babies 🦴😻😻”


About: I've pretty much always been an animal person. Growing up around dogs made caring for animals second nature, and over the years I've had the pleasure of looking after all kinds of furry (and occasionally feathered) friends. I've spent plenty of time babysitting dogs, especially the big personalities and big paws! Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, German Shepherds — I love them all. I'm comfortable around larger breeds and understand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and routines. I'm also a huge cat lover (as you can probably tell from the collection of cat photos on my profile 😂). And yes, I've even taken care of chickens, so I'd say my animal experience is pretty well-rounded. I do pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I love getting to know their personalities, keeping them company, and making sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pet wants to play, go on adventures, get belly rubs, or simply have someone nearby while they nap, I'm happy to be their person! I'm a freelancer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week! I'm happy to accommodate weekday and weekend walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and keeping your pets company while you're away. I do have a senior dog at home, so I focus on providing care in your pet's own environment rather than offering boarding or overnight stays. I love getting to spend time with animals and I am happy to work around their routines! 🐾 I tailor my care to each pet's personality and routine! I'm a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and absolutely love cats, too! I always arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to get to know your pet, understand their needs, and make sure we're a good fit. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! 🐾
About: I've grown up with pets my whole life and have taken care of dogs from Yorkies to Golden Retrievers! As a current college student, I miss my Yorkie, Lily, who is back home with my parents. Looking to play with and walk dogs in my free time and make a few extra bucks! :) As a college student, I have a flexible schedule to drop-in and dog walk throughout the week and on weekends in between classes and homework! I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins fit naturally into my week! I always keep a close eye on pets while I care for them, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I wish to leave spaces better than I found them, respect every client’s home, and help owners to feel completely comfortable trusting me with their pets!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Goldenrod
Super helpfully with taking a last minute booking and helped make sure my dog felt loved and cared for. She made sure he got plenty of time and attention and safely secured him back in his kennel. We unfortunately didn’t have time to schedule a pre-visit but she was able to follow my instructions to get in and take care of Milo as needed. I would highly suggest for anyone looking for a sitter.

Camryn was amazing!! Camryn was communicative throughout my entire trip and I felt extremely comfortable leaving my girls alone. She took daily pictures and kept me updated as necessary. The entire process from start to finish went smoothly. She took great care of my girls and would love to have her again! I’m so grateful for her and all she did for us. I would absolutely recommend Camryn for your pet needs. Thank you, Camyrn! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Goldenrod is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,333 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Goldenrod. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Goldenrod. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
