“We were very grateful to have Jennifer's help with our three pets while out of town (an adult dog, a puppy, and a cat). We appreciated her enthusiasm to be there for our pets, be a presence for our home while we were gone, and it gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was very communicative and respectful of our home, and she took good care of our animals. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Peter came through for me last minute! He suggested a meet and greet the day before. Peter updated me daily with photos of penthouse. I came back a little later than expected due to my flight, and I'm so grateful I didn't have to worry about my dog because Peter came through last moment for me. Thank you so much!! I will be using him again 💖”

I’ll continue to use Stephanie and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality care for your animals!”
“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.

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!”
About: I have 10 years of experience when it comes to caring for animals and it has always been something I'm truly passionate about. I treat every pet with the same love, care, and attention I would give my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. I'm committed to providing dependable care, keeping your pet's routine consistent, and sending regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and older pets who may require a gentler approach. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet, ensuring they feel loved, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule right now. I recently finished my summer job as a camp counselor, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I love being able to help pet owners feel at ease while they're away. Whether it's a quick check-in, longterm stay, or spending extra time keeping your pet company, I'm happy to work with your schedule and your pet's individual needs! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in a familiar environment with their normal routines. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure to follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. My priority is creating a calm and positive experience for your pet while you’re away. I also value communication and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for!

“Hailey was great and I’ll definitely use her again. Daily pictures showed Lucy was happy and comfortable with us being gone. Upon leaving Hailey left a detailed message of what Lucy’s day had been like up to that point and we came home to a clean house!”
“Caitlin is amazing! She responds super fast, and I hired her for a couple of nights to stay with my nervous kitty. She was able to bond with him which is tough to do, and sent me pictures and updates while I was away. I highly recommend Caitlin for house/pet sitting!”
About: I grew up always having at least one pet. The first chore I was ever assigned was actually taking care of our cat and dog (at the time) and I did that for a while. Around middle school I started dog-sitting for my parents and I’ve been doing that for quite some time now. I’ve never met an animal (that isn’t super skittish) that doesn’t love or at the very least ‘tolerate’ me. My dogs will follow me around the house or sometimes paw/bark at my door just to see me. Even when it comes to skittish animals (especially cats) they usually warm up to me very quickly. My grandma’s stray rescue cat is petrified of everyone but my grandma. After a week of staying over at my grandma’s she would walk up to me on her own and even sit in my lap. I’m free almost 24/7 except when I’m asleep. I’m currently searching for a job hence the very flexible schedule. I don’t mind late night visits or early morning, my sleep schedule is just as flexible if not more. I respect animals the same way you would people, although we don’t have verbal communication it’s very easy to tell what an animal is feeling based on their body language. I can be stern and assertive without being overly aggressive or anything of that sort. Additionally, I am very respectful of others spaces and homes. I believe heavily in treat others how you want to be treated, so I behave as such and I think that reflects in my pet-care and work ethic
About: I had a yorkie named Sharpay since she was 2 months old, my baby passed at age 15 full of love. I believe in pets always staying in a home environment for continued love, attention and not feel left behind> As a cat owner now, I always make sure Brady stays with a friend, relative or home care when I want to do the same for others. I work from home, my schedule is flexible. I don't work weekends and have the availability to take care of your pet while you vacation, weekend get aways or busy week and in need to a dog walks, cat litter cleaning and feeding. My apartment is very secure and community also very spacious. Pet would be care for. in my home area if boarding is needed. I live alone with my own cat who is very friendly.
“Ryeleigh stayed out our house for three nights to take care of our dog and cat. When we got home, they both seemed happy and were not stressed out at all that we had been gone. The house was clean and tidy and Ryeleigh even took the sheets off the bed and put them in the washer for us. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great house and pet sitter and we will definitely book her again!”

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Mary
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Mary on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,879 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 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.
