“Kiara was amazing. She stayed with Coco the whole day. Coco met her once prior to sitting and when Kiara walked in the door Coco was excited. Dogs are a great judge of character I believe. She was very accommodating and I will definitely use her again.”
“Margarita was very good with my fur baby . Her attention to details for both the care of my dog, who is blind and her respect of our home was greatly appreciated . We have already booked our next need with her”
“Karrie watched our two GSP’s for a long weekend we were away. We got some good pics of the girls to let us know all was well and it definitely made being away from them easier. Karrie is friendly, personable and the girls seemed to enjoy their time with her.”
“This was a first time leaving our pups with a dog sitter. And Melanie was fantastic… attentive, kind and kept us updated on how the pups were doing, including pictures. I highly recommend Melanie for anyone looking to have someone watch over your fur babies.”
“Our dogs loved her and were sad to see her go. Leslie pampered them like the babies they are. Would definitely call on her again in the future. Thank you Leslie for taking such good care of our ladies!”
“Molly did a great job with the dogs in our home. One is kind of skittish around new people, but warmed up to Molly quickly. We had asked she stay the nights with them, she did that and more. Two of our three are in medications and she handled that easily. She’s the only one we will ask to come back on our next adventure, the only one we trust.”
“We were so happy to have found Taylor. She was responsive and patient with all of our requests and sent photos/updates of our dog while we were away. It was such a weight off of our shoulders to know our dog was taken care of and also loved on. She’s an anxious pup and really just wants comfort and company. We would absolutely book Taylor to care for her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life, I own 2 dogs and 5 cats of my own! The rest of my family owns pets of all kinds, so I’ve grown up around all types of animals. I’ve spent a lot of time helping out friends and family when they need someone to watch their pets, I’m always a go to for them! I’m always willing to do whatever is needed of me when it comes to helping out with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats all the way from puppy to end of life moments. I’m currently unemployed, so my schedule is very flexible for all of your pet needs. I’m available most days of the week, weekends and nights. I am extremely careful when it comes to watching animals, I know that an animal is a precious member of any family and I will do all I can to keep your pets safe and happy while feeling loved. I never bring pets into my own home because I am very cautious about how my cats and dogs will react. When I enter other people's homes, I try to work with the owner first to make sure their pet is comfortable with me before leaving. I treat all pets as if they are my own, so rest assured that your pet will be just as spoiled as mine for the times I am with them! I follow ALL instructions given to me by pet parents, and check in anytime I have questions.
“Gloria was amazing! She watched our dogs while we were gone for thanksgiving, she sent pictures and updates everyday. Our oldest gets medicine for epilepsy and she had no problems with giving it or sticking to the schedule. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“James was a great dog and house sitter! He sent plenty of pics and communication was excellent. We really felt like he cared about our dogs and gave them lots of attention! Will definitely be booking with him in the future.”
“Jennifer did a great job caring for our two dogs. She texted us pictures and updates of our dogs frequently. I came home a meticulously clean house. We will definitely be using her again.”
“David (who actually prefers the nickname "Jack" ) was absolutely phenomenal with our dogs! We have 2 small dogs, one-is very social but the second is very skittish and reluctant to be around people and typically hides in a corner somewhere until the person leaves. She was skittish & shy with Jack at first, but what a difference in just a short time! She was walking around him with her tail up & sleeping next to him on the living room chair! He was very patient and attentive with both of our dogs. Neither lacked for attention. Jack was very flexible for our needs & schedule. We had him stay inside our house for two entire days and was able to feel comfortable with him the entire time. He listened closely to what we expected and followed through without hesitation. He sent us a picture of our dogs and a text during the day to update us on our dogs while we were away to help aleve our worries being away from our babies. Even then, I still touched base with him during the day to check in and give him our updates and he was always quick to respond. I highly recommend Jack and would not hesitate to use him again! Thank you very much!”
“Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!”
“Steffanie is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her to watch your pets! She is very friendly, professional, self sufficient and a natural with animals. Steffanie stayed in our home for a week and took care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat, she kept us updated with texts and photos to let us know that all was well and gave our dogs extra love during the daily Florida storms. We returned home to a spotless house and happy pets!”
“Savannah was an amazing pet and house sitter. She went above and beyond to not only take care of our furr babies, but take care of our house too! She is very accommodating, communicative and great with our animals. Thank you once again for taking care of our zoo!”
“She has an amazing energy and they babies were immediately drawn to her calm and composed nature. She is very loving and takes extra care to make sure they are alright.”
“Lindsey was great with my dog, Oscar! She sent updates and pictures, and she asked questions to better understand his likes and dislikes. Lindsey stayed at my house, leaving everything in order on the last day. I would definitely rebook with her, as I know that Oscar was well taken care of!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Minneola on Rover is $38.15 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 2,923 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Minneola. 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 Minneola 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 Minneola 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 Minneola 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 Minneola. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
