“She is the best!!! We haven't used a pet sitter before, and she kept us updated the entire time with photos, videos and messages. She is so sweet and so loving to our dog Charlie. She took such good care of him, left our house so clean and he loved her!!”
“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!”
“Hailey is fantastic. Excellent communication throughout the days we were gone with photos/videos throughout the day which I really appreciate. My puppies were extremely calm when we got home so i know they had a great experience as well. House was in better shape then when we left! Highly recommend.”
“Natalia was truly the BEST Rover sitter we could have ever hoped for. From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, thoughtful, and caring — and she treated our home and fur babies like they were her own. We have three dogs and a cat, and every single one of them was so loved and well cared for while we were away. One of our pups ended up having an unexpected flea issue and was super itchy while she was staying with them, and Natalia immediately stepped in and handled everything with so much care and compassion. She bathed all three dogs, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated every step of the way. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. On top of taking amazing care of the animals, she went completely above and beyond with our home. She did laundry, swept, cleaned, remade the bed, and left the house better than we left it. You can genuinely tell she is the kind of person who respects and cares for other people’s space. Natalia is kind, trustworthy, attentive, responsible, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt so comfortable having her in our home and caring for the members of our family we love most. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone looking for a sitter who will love your pets deeply, communicate wonderfully, and care for your home with incredible respect should book her immediately. She is an absolute gem and we would trust her again in a heartbeat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Benjamin took amazing care of our little dog. Our dog immediately gravitated to Benjamin upon meeting. We received periodic updates and photos which we greatly appreciated from Benjamin when he watched our dog, would definitely recommend and would definitely work with him again in the future.”
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
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!”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10; anywhere from pet sitting to having pets of my own. I kept cats well brushed, watered, and their litter boxes/area clean and dogs well cared for by going for walks, playtime, nap time, brushing teeth, and bathing. I currently work a flexible job from home so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I am typically available everyday except I am away for several hours on Sundays. I may be able to board/home sit/ walk your pet on Sundays, they would just be alone for several hours until I get home. I have two indoor cats who are happy as long as they have a clean litter box and bathroom/food area, water to drink out of a faucet, brushed clean fur, and a quiet place to sleep. Heath will most likely play with your kitty once he gets more comfortable and Lucky will most likely ignore your cat. I also have a 2 year old goldendoodle who loves to meet new people and dogs. When I am not entertaining your dog, Winston sure will be if they want him to. If your dog is uninterested, Winston knows to leave him/her be.
“Charity was punctual, communicative and shared photos throughout her stay. I felt confident that my pups were loved and well taken care of during her stay, and didn't worry the entire time I was gone. Thanks, Charity! We look forward to seeing you soon!”
“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.”
“Daniela did a wonderful job! She kept in great communication while we were away and made sure the dogs had plenty of love and attention. Highly recommend her and would use her again!”
“Stephanie is always great with our pets. You can tell she really cares for them and they love her as well. She is really communicative and sends lots of pictures, which helps so much when I'm missing them while away. We will definitely keep booking Stephanie!”
“Stephanie provides frequent updates while dog sitting. She sends pictures and sweet messages. Our dogs love spending time with her because she takes such great care to ensure they get long walks and plenty of snuggles!”
“Calvin was great! Took great care of our house, took the initiative to do some cleaning (laundry, vacuum, etc.), and took amazing care of our girl! We can tell she had a great time with him and was treated exceptionally well. 100% recommend and will definitely rebook!”

About: Hello! New here!!! I belong to the local pet shelter and I do the dog a day program where I go and pick them up and spend the whole day with them kind of help get them adopted if needed and return them at the time stated. On that note! I am looking for work and I love animals so I thought how perfect! The small family I have here and I have 20 dogs and cats combined. Very careful loving person looking to help out when needed. I love to walk so even better! Very responsible and follow instructions as asked.

Caitlin provided excellent care for our dog Charley while we were away. She has a huge heart, and we felt at ease knowing he was well taken care of. We really appreciated all of the updates we received with amazing pictures of our boy. Caitlin was extremely considerate and left the house clean and tidy. We look forward to having her back, and Charley does too 😊
Aleena truly treated Teddy like her own (he even spent Thanksgiving with her family and helped decorate the Christmas tree)! She was super communicative, sent great updates / pictures throughout his stay and is an absolute GEM of a person. Highly recommend!! We will definitely be asking to work with her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Monroe is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $62 per night.

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 Monroe 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 Monroe 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 Monroe 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
