About: Serving Lake Nona / East Orlando area / Downtown Orlando / Winter park / St. Cloud / Kissimmee Hello Pet Parents! My name is Elisa, and I’m a pre-vet biology student with a lifelong passion for animals and their care. Ever since I was younger, I’ve loved spending time with animals and began pet sitting and walking dogs for neighbors, which gave me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, caring for animals has become more than just a hobby for me, it’s something I truly love and hope to turn into my lifelong career. I also come from an equestrian background, where I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding animal behavior. Working around horses taught me how important trust and gentle care are, and I carry that same mindset into every pet I care for. A little bit about me, I have my own dog named Wrangler! He’s a very active, high-energy dog, so I’m very comfortable with energetic personalities, long walks, enrichment, and keeping dogs engaged both physically and mentally. We go on 3-mile walks and hikes daily, so whether your dog loves being active or prefers a slower, calmer pace, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I also understand reactive dogs, as my own dog has had reactivity challenges in the past, so I always approach pets with patience, awareness, and compassion. I also have 2 birds that I’ve had since I was just 9 years old! Having two birds of my own has given me hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and boundaries. I understand that some birds can be bitey, nervous, or uncomfortable around new people, and I know how important it is to respect their space and build trust rather than forcing interaction. For shy or less social birds, I am comfortable stopping by to provide fresh food and water, clean their area, offer enrichment, and make sure they are safe and comfortable while respecting their boundaries. As a future equine veterinarian, animal health and safety are extremely important to me. I’m comfortable administering medications and making sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved and at home, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets P.S: Expect TONS of fun photos! My Pet Care Schedule * I’m available most early mornings early-late afternoons, which works well for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. *I work part-time too! So make sure to consult with me so we can work around my schedule. I am free early mornings and late afternoons during those days. * I avoid scheduling walks between 11 AM– 3PM, especially in hot weather, to keep dogs safe from peak heat. * I’m flexible outside of those times and happy to work with each pet’s routine and needs. For example : 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, play, mental enrichment and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy + and comfortable while you're away. How I Care for Pets During House Drop-Ins & Dog Walking * I treat your home with respect, keeping everything clean, organized, and just as you left it, while making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar space. * I follow your pet’s normal routine. walks, meals, potty breaks, and rest so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. * I love incorporating enrichment into my visits, so I often bring a sniff mat and tailor activities to what your dog enjoys most. I pay attention to their personality and preferences so each visit feels engaging and meaningful for them. * I make an effort to really get to know your dog what they like, what motivates them, and what helps them feel happiest so I can adjust my care to fit them, not just a routine. * Treats and rewards are always personalized based on what your dog enjoys (because every good pup has opinions, and I respect them). * I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether they prefer a calm sniff and stroll or a more active outing. * My goal is to make each visit feel positive, enriching, and comforting for your pet, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re genuinely cared for.

About: I am a dog lover. I enjoy every minute I spend with them. My house is always opened for my friend’s dogs and I practically beg them to let me take care of them while they are out. I have a little dog and a rescue cat. Two kids 15 and 16 and a 22 years old and they all love animals. We don’t smoke or drink and have a safe environment at home. I’m disabled so I work few hours and I come home early and my kids are home every day after 1 pm. I allow them to sleep with me but I respect every owner preference. Pets here are loved and cared by the whole family. Thank you for the opportunity. Natalia I work from home so im able to walk them several times during the day and play with them when they want to. They are so loved and very well taken care of I live in a town home so the dogs can’t leave the place unless I open the door. All dogs staying here have their leash and collar. During the day they can play or sleep as they prefer and they have access to beds (or to my bed lol) to fresh water and food or treats according to their parents instructions

“I don't know what goes on when I'm away. I asked the pets what happened. They said they had nice walks, good food on time (very important), cuddles, and lots of play - oh and by the way "we missed you Mom" - right! I have lots of confidence in Marylynn.”

About: I have five dogs myself. They’re all well trained and friendly with other animals! I live on a large farm with plenty of space for dogs to run. I trained two of my dogs a few tricks each as well as potty trained them I work about four hours a day outside of my home. I always take care of my dogs before and after work. I have family let them out to pee and eat while I’m at work. I spend the evenings playing indoor with them My dogs have a large kennel inside that they sleep in at night. I have hosted dogs before and they sleep in my garage. It’s a warm area year round and if not then they will sleep inside in a separate kennel. I have orchards next to my house so your dogs will be taken on walks throughout them! Two of my dogs spend most of the day outside (depending on the weather).

I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where every pet is supervised and cared for at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely to ensure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home.

About: I've helped take care of the family dogs since I was young. My father had hunting dogs when we lived in the country and those types were friendly but could be assertive. Feeding, watering and checking for ticks or small wounds was a daily routine in any weather. We had German Shepherds for security but they were also loyal and protective pets. I attended Vohne Liche Training Kennels in Indiana and became an Explosive Detection Dog Handler while working as a defense contractor in Iraq, and have the certificate. I currently don't have a dog since my yard is small and I know that a healthy dog needs daily exercise. I have taken care of my friends and neighbors' dogs and walked them daily, but I avoid taking them to city parks or dog parks. A few owners disobey the laws and allow their dogs to roam the park off leash and this almost always ends badly. Sooner or later there will be a fight when an off-leash dog decides to attack other dogs that are leashed. Not all dogs at doggy parks are well socialized, and there is no proof of any current vaccinations. Dogs are pack animals and some may try to assert their dominance by fighting or harassing other dogs, especially those that are well mannered and non aggressive. I'm retired and an empty nester, so I have the time to devote as much attention as your pet may need. I only have a cat, so I can be available to stay overnight with your pet. My house has three bedrooms and an air conditioned garage, so my cat has the run of the house unless I'm boarding a client's dog. In that case I close off a part of the house to keep dog and cat separate, at least until I find out if they're compatible. In a client's home, I keep the same routine as the pets are accustomed to. I enjoy walking the family dog(s) and pay close attention to their eating and potty routines. If the dogs are to be given treats, I make a game of hiding them in plain sight and letting the dog use their senses to find them. I play fetch or tug of war if the dog enjoys this type of activity. I don't mind sitting with lap dogs and sit with them wherever they're allowed, on a couch or just the floor.

“We're new to the area and had to find a new sitter for our fur babies. We are so fortunate we came across Amber! She made the whole process and experience from the meet and greet to housesitting so effortless. I was really at ease knowing the boys were in great hands and the house was taken care of while we were away. When we returned, the house was in order and the boys were in good shape and so happy. Amber went above and beyond and is a true gem! We are so grateful and know we can count on her when we book with her again in the near future!”

About: Since little I’ve always been around animals. I have a pet bird and a small dog, I’ve trained my dog. I’ve also volunteered at the animal shelter, worked with both area cats and dogs. I am a certified vet assistant. I am also a job on trained Vet Technician. Still in college working towards my doctors degree to become a Vet. Everyday before I go to work I walk my dog, after coming home I walk her again and before bed time. Also in the morning I make sure to give her food and in the afternoon also. I walk my dog everyday, before going to work in the morning, when I come back and on my days off I take her to the park so she can run around. I feed her 2 times a day and I also have a bird at home. Every two weeks I shower my dog and every 2 months I take her to the grooming salon.

About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 10 years, and my love for dogs started long before that—I grew up with dog siblings and have always felt a special connection with them. Today, I’m the proud mom of two Shihpoos, ages 7 and 5, so I understand how much our dogs mean to us and how important it is to know they’re in loving, trustworthy hands. I genuinely love caring for dogs and enjoy getting outside, walking, and staying active, so spending time with pups is something I truly look forward to. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone to give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well loved. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule. I love walks. I’d would be happy to house sit, check in on, and/or walk your pups! I’m always up early and ready to go! I have a fully fenced yard, and a very well maintained property, where dogs are safe and secure! I love seeing how much our 2 dogs enjoy our yard!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and my experience goes far beyond just cats and dogs! I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals, including pigs, chickens, turtles, and even my own pet hedgehog. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe every pet deserves the same love, respect, patience, and care that I would give my own. 🐾❤️ I have experience pet sitting for friends and family and absolutely love getting to meet new fur babies and their unique personalities. The people who have trusted me with their pets can all vouch for the care and attention I’ve given them while they enjoyed their time away. I understand that trusting someone with a member of your family is a huge responsibility, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m able to check in on your pets multiple times throughout the day, depending on their needs, and I’ll make sure they receive their meals, playtime, attention, and anything else they need to feel safe and comfortable. Communication is also very important to me. As a pet owner myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive pictures and updates while you’re away, so I’ll make sure you’re kept in the loop and know how your babies are doing. I also have experience administering medications to animals, including my own dogs and hedgehog, and will carefully follow any instructions you provide. Whether your pet has four legs, feathers, scales, or quills, I’ll give them the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your animals are safe, happy, and in caring hands. ❤️🐶🐱🐹🐢🐔 My current work schedule is very accommodating to taking care of animals! I will be able to check in a few times a day, making sure they have what they need. They will receive lots of love and the owners will get plenty of check-ins with their fur babies as well! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I make sure every day they have fresh water, they’re fed on time and that they remain safe while outside in their fenced in backyard. My cats are indoor, so I have tons of experience making sure the cats remain indoors as well! All my fur babies are well loved and taken care of!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I have always had pets of my own, including dogs and cats, and I also worked at a veterinary office for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals. I worked directly with them, assisted with walks, and helped provide care for pets recovering after surgery. This experience taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and understanding each animal’s individual needs. I genuinely love animals and will always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. 🐾 Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to give them the time, attention, and affection they deserve. I plan my schedule carefully so I can be dependable and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m especially interested in helping families who need pet care during evenings, weekends, and other times that fit my availability. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for even when you can’t be there. I care for my own dogs and cats with lots of TLC, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and everything they need to be happy and comfortable. I pay attention to their routines, feeding schedules, behavior, and individual personalities because I know every pet has different needs. My two years of veterinary office experience also gave me hands-on experience working with animals, including taking dogs on walks and helping care for pets after surgery. I understand how important it is to follow care instructions carefully, monitor pets for changes in behavior, and provide a calm, safe environment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love I’d want someone to give my own fur babies. 🐶🐱💕

We couldn’t recommend Jean more highly. She consistently goes above and beyond in every way, and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing our sweet beagle—and our home—are in her care. She’s incredibly professional and reliable, always communicating proactively and keeping us updated with thoughtful check-ins and photos. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does—her passion for caring for animals shines through in every interaction. Beyond just meeting expectations, she anticipates needs, handles every situation with care and attention to detail, and treats our home with the utmost respect. Trusting someone with both your pet and your home is no small thing, and she has earned that trust completely. We feel so lucky to have found her and can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate, and dependable pet care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Narcoossee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Narcoossee is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $91 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 2,973 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Narcoossee. 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 Narcoossee 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 Narcoossee 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 Narcoossee 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.
