“Anastasia was able to accommodate short notice for us which was so great! Our dogs loved her and she took such great care, sending pictures. We really appreciate her! Wild absolutely recommend for your fur babies.”
“Zach was absolutely awesome! From the very first meet and greet, he was thorough and professional—he took the time to ask all the right questions and made sure he fully understood our dogs’ routines and personalities. It was clear right away how comfortable the dogs were with him, and his calm, friendly energy won them over instantly. While we were away, Zach kept us updated with plenty of pictures and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. The dogs looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every update. When we got home, the house was spotless and exactly as we left it—he went above and beyond to keep everything in order. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for someone responsible, caring, and attentive to both pets and home!”
About: I've been caring for animals of all sizes for most of my adult life. I spent several years caring for animals professionally at a pet boarding facility in Sanford. I also learned a lot about animal care while working as a receptionist in a veterinary clinic. I currently work a free lance job that takes me all over. Please let me know what your regular schedule is like so we can make a good plan for your pets care while you are away. It is important to me that your pet sticks to their regular routine while you are away. I always schedule a meeting before booking to take detail notes on your pets daily routine.
“We had an amazing experience with Alexandra! She took such great care of Dexter while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions, and treated him like he was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a spotless house. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and reliable to care for their pets!”
“I’ve booked with Sonal quite a few times and never had a bad experience. I already have another stay booked! She’s communicative, prompt, caring and most importantly she takes good care of Meatball!”
About: From a young age, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up with three dogs, two cats, and various other animals, I developed a genuine love for caring for animals and understanding their individual personalities. I started pet-sitting for friends and family when I was 10 and quickly discovered how much I enjoyed it. As a teenager, I volunteered at a veterinary office and later became a foster for animals in need. These experiences gave me an early foundation in responsible, compassionate animal care. As an adult, I’ve continued to build on that experience through several animal-care positions. Most recently, I worked full-time with an animal shelter, where I helped intake animals, provide their daily care, assess their needs and behavior, and assist them on their journey toward finding forever homes. Most importantly, I understand that every pet is an individual. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind that their pets are in experienced and loving hands. My schedule is very flexible, as pet care is my primary focus. I’m available Monday through Saturday (unless boarding, in which I am available all week) with flexible availability throughout the day, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. My home also has a screened-in pool, so I’m especially mindful of water safety. Pets are never given unsupervised access to the pool, and I’m happy to follow any specific rules or preferences you have regarding your pet and the pool area.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life! I have such love for all the fur babies in the world. I have 2 dogs, a 13yo poodle and a 7yo blue/red healer. Im good with all ages of dogs. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pets. I would love to make your fur babies a part of my daily routine :) I would care for your pet in your home just like I would care for mine. I would take time to get to know your pet and allow them to trust me. I would clean up any messed the animals make. And give them love and affection like they were my own
“Eva was an amazing house sitter for our dog, Kaiya! She took great care of her, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We truly appreciate her kindness and reliability—highly recommend!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been a devoted dog owner for nearly my entire life and understand that every dog deserves patience, love, and dependable care. I had the privilege of loving my dog, Pirate, for 14 wonderful years, and I've cared for my Labrador, Milo, for the past six years. They have taught me the importance of consistency, exercise, affection, and recognizing each dog's unique personality and needs. After recently saying goodbye to Pirate and helping my daughter by returning Milo to her care, my home in Florida has become much quieter. I genuinely miss the companionship that dogs bring, which is why I decided to join Rover. Caring for dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I truly enjoy. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or a safe and loving place while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in kind, responsible, and experienced hands. I work full time typically 4 days a week. I am home during work days after 4:30pm. I am available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I have a partially fenced in backyard, but access to the left of my home to my neighors, it is a small backyard and very safe. I also have a dog park for walks and exercise.
“Tyler did a fantastic job caring for my pups! My dog has diabetes and needs special care. He administered meds and kept me updated. I came back to the house clean and my doggies were relaxed and happy. Tyler is very careful to follow directions. I would definitely book with him again!”
“Kaylee was great watching over our two boys. The dogs were very well taken care of and nurtured. She took care of the house and was communicative throughout the stay. Very much appreciated, we would recommend!”
“Sara took amazing care of Prim. My dog had a vacation while I was away and it was very clear that she enjoyed herself. My dog is 14years old so she can't be easy at times but Sara had patience with her and took great care of her. Thank you.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember! Growing up with dogs, cats, and birds, I have always loved animals and looking after them! I have taken care of my family/friends fur babies for years now and used to work at petco (5years) and would dog/cat sit for some of the regular clients that I got to know throughout my time there. I’m energetic and love being outside and love spending time playing with animals! My schedule is very flexible and open, I can be available any day of the week and most times as long as I don’t have another commitment. I make sure the animals are well fed and hydrated. I stay aware of my surroundings when on walks or inside, making sure I’m keeping an eye out for other animals nearby or that the door is properly secured..etc I pay attention to the animals body language as well to make sure if I’m playing with them or interacting in anyway, that they seem comfortable and open to that interaction.
“This team was amazing and taking care of our son with such a short notice, and I cannot wait to look again and feel the confidence that I had this time with leaving my pet with a good caregiver.”
“Carolina was very sweet and amazing with Tina! She gave her treats, pet her, played with her, walked her. Won her heart overall. Sent us videos and photos. Recommended a 100% to tale care of your pets.”
“We had Amanda house sit for our two dogs. She was very professional and timely. She kept us up to date w pictures of the dogs. It was comforting knowing our dogs were in good hands. We will definitely use her again.”
“Ashland was AMAZING with my 16 month old Great Dane named George. I was so nervous as this was the first time we left him. Ashland was on time, reassuring and just so great with my pup! He is a bed dog and that was A ok with Ashland. He actually went and looked for her the next morning. Highly recommend Ashland!!”
About: I’ve had fur babies for as long as I’ve been alive ranging from tiny chihuahuas to large pitties. I love all animals, but have the most experience with dogs. I’m a sucker for a good cuddle or kisses, as I’m sure you can tell from my pictures! I’m available for drop in visits and dog walking visits and would love to have some fun with your pet :) I’m currently working full time Monday-Thursday, but am available on those nights if needed for drop-in visits and at anytime on Fridays and the weekend. I’ll treat your fur baby as if it were my own and provide the love and care they deserve and more! If your pet is anything like mine, they aren’t always comfortable with strangers so I understand the importance of working at their pace and making sure we build trust.
“Haileigh is the sweetest and was so easy to communicate with during our 10 day trip. Had to adjust things last minute and she was super understanding and flexible. Our two dogs and cat were very well taken care of while we were gone and we are so grateful Haileigh was there to give them all the lovins. 💜”

I had a last minute need for a pet sitter and Jackson made it so easy to book with him! The day before my trip he accommodated my schedule to come meet my dogs and me. Throughout the stay he sent pictures and gave status updates, never making me wonder or ask how things were going. I would absolutely book with Jackson again.
This was our first time having Brent stay with our pets and house sitting - and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Brent sent plenty of updates and photos, took good care of the house, and left it spotless when we returned. Highly recommend him and will definitely be rebooking him in the future. Thanks for making our vacation less stressful by taking such good care of the girls.
Kyle did a great job taking care of my dogs! He was very attentive and took care of them so well. He was also very easy to communicate with and kept up with the dogs' regular schedule and routines. I really appreciated how responsible and caring he was with my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them! I would definitely recommend him and would be happy to have him care for my dogs again.
I cannot recommend Jamie highly enough! I needed someone at the last minute to care for Yeti while I was out of the country, and she truly saved the day. After Yeti had gotten sick following a previous boarding experience, I was very nervous about leaving him again. Before my trip, Jamie came to the house to meet us, and Yeti immediately loved her — which definitely does not happen with everyone. I decided to trust his judgment, and I’m so glad I did. Jamie stayed in my home, took incredible care of him, kept me comfortable and informed while I was away, and most importantly, Yeti was happy, safe, and completely at ease with her. Jamie is trustworthy, caring, dependable, and genuinely wonderful with animals. I will absolutely use her again and recommend her without hesitation. Yeti gives her five paws! 🐾
We had an amazing experience with Alexandra! She took such great care of Dexter while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions, and treated him like he was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a spotless house. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and reliable to care for their pets!
EmChar was absolutely amazing !! She brought so much ease to our trip knowing they were being well cared for. She provided so many pictures and updates for our fur babies ! EmChar handled our dog reactive dog perfectly. She handled our dog and cat’s schedule easily. EmChar was so wonderful, I HIGLY recommend her !
Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about Brianna. I had absolute ease-of-mind knowing that my cat was in great hands for the 3 days I was away. She’s extremely friendly and has a wonderful energy, and my cat could definitely pick up on that because she snuggled up to her immediately. Came back to a clean house and a healthy cat. No doubt I’ll be contacting Brianna in the future!

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Mary is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $88 per night. 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.

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 Mary 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 Mary 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 Mary 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Mary. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
