About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.
“Jennifer was such a blessing!!! My Labrador can be a bit much at times!!!!! She sent so many pictures and videos. When I got home my dog was in good spirits! Actually, he watched down the driveway for a couple days after we got home, hoping for Jennifer's return. Thank you so much for everything!!! Till next time!”
About: I have taken care of my family’s pets for practically my whole life, and its always been a joy to me!! I treat them all like they are practically mine! I am a freelance artist and I have a small part time job on the side, so I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet!!! My schedule is extremely flexible! I can care for your pet in home by spending time cleaning up after them, making sure they are fed and watered, and that they get all the playtime and snuggles they need!
“Lauren was amazing! We were visiting from out of town and needed to find a dog sitter. Lauren was trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable, kind and genuine. We needed drop-ins for 2 days and she sent me check-ins, pictures and videos. She loved on our pooch and even left us some dog treats after her last visit. So sweet! We highly, highly, highly recommend her!”
“Becky was amazing! Took great care of our two dogs!! When our fluffy little guy had some eyes issues she went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable and taken care of while we were gone?”
About: I’ve always loved animals, exactly the reason I’m a chicken father of 4. I enjoy taking care of my animals to the best of my abilities, so I figured I could extend the love and quality care I give to my animals to yours. I know it can be a challenge to find a pet sitter or walker that’s right for you. And even more difficult to find one you can trust with your four legged loved ones. If you ask my chickens, they’d say go with me (maybe just to overthrow my house but they do still agree I’m your guy). I’m capable of caring for dogs, puppies, senior dogs, most reptiles, hermit crabs, rodents, and cats. If your loved one has any special needs I’m more than happy to fulfill them. As of right now I’m free almost every day. Whether it be morning, noon, night, or for multiple days I have plenty availability for your little guys. I care for your pets, so if there’s anything in particular you wouldn’t want your animal doing just let me know! Other than that I ensure your bundle of joy is safe at all times.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, had cats through childhood. I’ve pet sat for all of my friends and family and have been trusted to maintain their pets. I own two dogs myself, Willa and Toothless, that are both my best friends. I’m a dog lover through and through and will love you pets like my own! I currently work part-time and have the ability to create my own schedule so I am very capable of maintaining your needs and wishes for your fur bestie! I can check in on your pets while respecting your home. If you crate train the dogs, I can remain with them for a while so that they’re not alone and locked up all day. I love hanging out with dogs and can even bring my pup if they like company!
About: I have one dog that is turning 5 and have had her for over 4 years. I have taken care of other dogs in the family as well. I also have stayed over nights for extended family pets! I'm currently working part-time and in school Monday and Wednesday mornings. So I still have lots of time to spend with your pets! The safety and comfortability of your pet is my number one priority. So I will do my best to give them time to get used to me and prevent anxiety. I take my dog on several walks during the day when it isn't too hot (don't wanna burn any pet paws!) And I play with her all throughout the day. We practice tricks I've taught her and we snuggle up on the couch!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs all my life. I’ve volunteered at the Lake County Animal Shelter before. I am patient and loving with animals. I’m currently available and flexible with my schedule. Call me or text me for any additional details regarding scheduling. Looking forward to working with you. I don’t currently have pets. So I can give all my attention to your furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard so leashes are required.
“Amazing! I have never used a dog sitter before so I was nervous going into it. Courtney came over before hand to meet the pups and I felt completely comfortable being out of town without worrying about my fur babies. I am very thankful for that”
“Our first experience using Rover with Liz as our pet sitter was the best experience! Liz has great communication and showed a lot of love and care for our animals. She also took some pretty great photos that made us smile during the drop in visits. Thanks for making this a great first experience, Liz! We appreciate you!”
About: Growing up i took care of my grandmas 5 dogs, 8 cats, And 2 birds because she loves animals but she can’t walk so i took care of them all and found my love for animals. I’m available all days of the week and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to provide pet care on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care! I care for everyone’s pets and houses as if they were my grandmas, I’ll treat them with the respect that they deserve. And I can guarantee that your pet will be treated as one of the family.
“Couldn’t be happier. My dogs mean the world to me! It was difficult to leave them with someone to take care of them. If opportunity presents itself I won’t hesitate to call Rinske again. It was a pleasure to meet her. Thank you”

Andrea has been Dizzy & Archie's sitter for a while now and we all couldn't be happier! She's almost always been available to us even on holidays, she's punctual, thorough, and she really seems to love what she does. Leaving my boys is always tough, but knowing we're in good hands with Andrea takes a lot of worry away.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Mount Dora on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,518 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mount Dora. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mount Dora stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mount Dora. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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.
