“Shelley was very communicative during her stay. After a rough start for not having the code to our door (completely my fault) things went very smoothly. Daisy and the house were well cared for.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years, including my own three pups. One of my dogs lived to 17, so I have plenty of senior dog care experience. I’ve taken all my dogs through puppy training classes, where both owners and puppies learn proper training techniques. I’ve also provided dog walking and sitting services for neighbors, giving me a well-rounded understanding of various dog personalities and needs. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I love giving them the care and attention they deserve! As a part time cast member at Walt Disney World, I have a flexible schedule. My work week consists of short, minimal shifts, so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I live in the area, so I'm available for local dog walking and sitting, and I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs around my schedule during the week. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I’m committed to providing care that aligns with your preferences, whether it’s following a specific feeding schedule, maintaining their exercise routine, or offering lots of playtime. I’ll ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their own home while providing companionship and attention. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I’m open to following your instructions to create a loving environment just as you would.
“This was my first time using the app, and I can honestly say Kristina made my birthday even better. She was punctual, caring, and kept me updated throughout the day and night. I highly recommend her. She is incredibly kind and attentive.”
“Elizabeth was great with my three very different personality dogs. They are little with big personalities! She managed them all so well, no accidents in the house, and gave them love as if they were her own. I’m happy to have found someone reliable and patient to be with our pups when we go out of town:)”
“Nathan was extremely communicative and provided daily pictures. He was always on time and spent a great deal of time with our animals. It was such a relief to have someone we trusted there with them so we could enjoy our vacation knowing our animals were well taken care of.”
About: My first sitting job was at 14 for the neighbors across the street, during a month long trip. I have been sitting for friends on and off for the last 4 years, dogs and cats. I have a lot of experience with senior cats and cats who are on medication. I am currently an independent contractor, working as a performer. When in a show, weekends would be difficult, and at most a show run lasts 5 weeks. I also bartend at a theater, those shifts are only 4 hours, and are also only during the run of a show. My schedule always remains very flexible. Growing up I was the designated dog walker in the family, he was a very excitable and friendly dog so I have a lot of experience with dogs who pull on their leashes. I also was responsible for baths. I also have some experience with multiple dogs at a time, of all sorts of personalities. I have owned at least one cat since I was 6, I'm the girl who seeks out the cat at the party to hang out.
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life. From growing up with a Basset Hound and Beagle to spending the last 8 years raising my own dog, Ivy, I’ve learned that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care is currently my primary focus, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate last-minute requests and provide consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship for your pet. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. As a dog owner myself, I’ve spent the last 8 years caring for my own dog, Ivy, and I know how important routines, safety, and communication are. I’ll always follow your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and house rules. Whether caring for your pet in your home or during walks and visits, I’ll provide attentive, reliable care and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Ariela is a total gem, best sitter we’ve ever had! She cared for our dog Belinha at our home for five days while we were out of the country. Our dog has a history of separation anxiety, so we’re always nervous about leaving her, but from the moment we met Ariela, we felt confident she was in good hands. Throughout the stay, Ariela was a fantastic communicator. She sent us regular updates with photos that truly put our minds at ease. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a spotless house. It’s clear that Ariela genuinely loves and understands the pets she cares for. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be a repeat customer!”
“We can’t say enough good things! We love having her stay with our girls. Great on communication and sending pictures. Takes amazing care of our house too. We’ll be repeat customers for as long as we can!”
“Nick was an amazing sitter for my dog Leonard! The peace of mind was really something that was invaluable. Plenty of contact and accommodation for my travel schedule, really can't recommend him enough!”
“We truly could not have asked for a better pet sitter than Emelina. From the very beginning, it was clear how much care, attention, and genuine love she puts into what she does. She took the time to really learn Snow and Blitzen…their personalities, routines, and all their little quirks; which gave us so much confidence right away. Managing both a puppy and an older dog is no small task, but she handled everything so naturally and thoughtfully. What meant the most to us was her communication. Emelina stayed in constant touch with updates, videos, and check-ins that made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It never felt like we were just leaving our dogs with a sitter…she truly cared for them like they were her own. She went above and beyond in every way: sticking to their routines, making sure they were comfortable and happy, and even keeping our home in great condition. Coming back to relaxed, well-cared-for dogs says everything. We would recommend Emelina to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly exceptional. We will 100% be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both large and small pets. I was raised with large breeds like German Shepherds and Cane Corsos, as well as small dogs such as Maltipoos, giving me a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I have experience with a variety of pet ages, from helping raise puppies to caring for elder dogs. I’m also comfortable caring for cats and understand their unique routines and personalities. I’ve completed drop-ins, walks, full day stays and overnight stays as well as extended stays lasting over a week for family and friends— I’d love to do the same for you! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or providing calm and reliable companionship, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. My top priority is to make sure your pet feels happy and safe while you’re away! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work from home, which means I’m available to care for pets every day of the week and can offer a flexible schedule to fit your needs. Whether it’s daily walks, midday visits, or extended care while you’re away, I can provide consistent attention and companionship for your pets. I also make sure to give regular updates and pictures for you to enjoy! When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience following regular routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep your home tidy, secure, and well-maintained, so you can have peace of mind and return to happy pets and a cared-for space.
“Angel did an excellent job watching our dog Jumba, very responsive whenever I sent a message to see how things were going, providing pictures of my boy, and asking questions whenever she was unsure about any of Jumba's behaviors (he's a goofy boy). She also cleaned up the day she left and the house was in the same order as when we left it. Could not recommend Angel enough to any other person who may enlist her services for house watching/dog sititng!”
“I highly recommend her! She took wonderful care of my dog, Lara, while I was in the Dominican Republic. Since Lara recently lost her sister, I was especially grateful knowing she was in such caring hands while I was away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I received frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Lara felt comfortable, happy, and loved. Lara really liked her, and that means everything to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of my sweet girl!”
“I definitely recommend booking with her! She watched my baby Clover in my home while I went out of town, and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable. She made sure to update me every chance she got regarding Clover, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind. We also did a meet and greet beforehand, which was really nice because it gave Clover a chance to get familiar and comfortable. She is very sweet, professional, and trustworthy. I truly felt safe having her in my home. I highly recommend her for any housesitting needs or any other services she offers!”
“This is our second time having Ally babysit! We knew our animals were in good hands and we had no worries all trip. We came back to our house as clean as we left it! Thank you Ally!”

Mary is just so sweet! She came to stay at my house and take care of my three dogs, two of whom are special needs. She administered medication as needed. She cleaned up the house and brought our trash cans in after trash day. She was very communicative and kept us updated while on our trip. One of my dogs even tore up a plant while she was out and she cleaned it all up! I highly recommend Mary for any of your pet needs.
We love Kat!!! This is the 2nd time we've used her to cat & house sit. She took great care of the kitties always sending updates and fun pictures. She's great at taking care of 2 cats that don't love each other and need some extra attention. She's on time and very responsive. She took great care of the house as well. It was nice to come home from vacation and have the house just as we left it. There was an AC issue while we were away and she reached out right away and we were able to get the neighbor to come over and fix it. She was very helpful and willing to come back and check on the house during her work break. We highly recommend Kat and will be using her in the future for sure!!!
Emilee was amazing! I've had a hard time finding someone I can trust to stay with my furbabies and Emilee was wonderful. They immediately liked her when she came to meet them and she kept me updated on how they were doing and sent some great pictures and video. I came home to two happy boys who got to stay in their own home with a new friend. I will definitely book with Emilee again whenever I travel.
Would 100% recommend Jonnely! Great communicator, took our two dogs on multiple walks, and was flexible and so understanding when we had a snag in our original plans. We were visiting the Orlando area, but if we come back with our pups she will be the first person I reach out to for dog sitting. ❤️
Natalie was AWESOME with Grey! She came to meet him a few times, before she stayed with him, to insure he was comfortable with her. She was very good with Grey. She played with him more than we do, I am sure. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day. She contacted me if something arose that I had not mentioned or explained about his idiosyncrasies. He loves her, and so do we. We were concerned that he would want to go with her, when she left / went home from the stay!! That is how much she did for him.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Buena Vista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Buena Vista on Rover is $40.52 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Buena Vista. 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 Lake Buena Vista 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 Lake Buena Vista 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 Lake Buena Vista 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Buena Vista. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
