About: I’ve always had pets growing up. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter. I just personally love animals and are really good with animals I work part time but I have a very flexible schedule, I’d always make time to take care of pets when needed. I love all dogs big and small I have a blue tick hound that I rescued. I always play with her and take her out, she loves sleeping on my bed with me or in my room.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs, cats, and even our family parrot for over 10 years! During that time I’ve cared for pets with varying health statuses and all kinds of personalities from playful and energetic to shy, cuddly, and everything in-between. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. That’s why I always make it a priority to give each pet plenty of love, attention, and patience while keeping them comfortable in their routine. Whether your pup needs a long walk and some playtime or your cat wants a cozy companion, I’m excited to help. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!❤️ I am working part-time from home and am home during weekends. I have a flexible schedule so that I am able to take dogs out for potty breaks and initiate play time and snuggles with pets through the day. I have a fenced in yard and a spacious walking path, circling Lake Monroe in Sanford, FL so your fur babies can have fun and enjoy the sun! There are currently no other pets in the home, so your fur baby will have a quiet and comfortable space to lounge and play if boarding.
“Stephanie has watched my dogs several times and it has been a great experience. She stays at my house with them, so I feel much better about traveling. I receive updates and pictures while I’m gone and my house was arguably cleaner than I left it. I’ll continue to use Stephanie and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality care for your animals!”
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.
“We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this service. Our sitter was professional, communicative, and took outstanding care of our dogs while we were away. We received updates throughout our trip, and it was obvious our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. As an added bonus, our home was left clean and organized when we returned, which was greatly appreciated. It’s not easy leaving your pets behind, but this experience gave us complete peace of mind. We would gladly use this service again and look forward to booking in the future.”
“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.”
About: Hi! I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. I’m a dependable, attentive, and caring person who understands that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful. My goal is to make you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a little companionship, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶🐱 I am currently a flight instructor building hours to get to the airlines and pet sitting would be the perfect job to do when I am not in the air. I love being around dogs and cats, so its the perfect job that doesn't feel like a job. Anything you need me to do to help your furry companion feel happy and safe I'll be more than happy to do. If your pet needs anything special I will go above and beyond to make sure that he/she is taken care of. Your furry friend will be loved and spoiled with me.
“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. 💜”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Mary
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,896 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Mary. 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 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.
