“Leanne is the best. She took such good care of Duke and always sent pictures and updates on him. Took good care of his eyes and made sure he had plenty of time with her. She was such a huge help to me since I had to leave in such short notice. Thank you so much ??”

“I wish I could give Jonathan 10 stars instead of 5. As a professional dog trainer and boarding business owner, I’m extremely particular about who I trust with my own animals. My dogs are elderly and have specific needs, so finding someone dependable is incredibly important. Jonathan exceeded every expectation. Not only did he take excellent care of my dogs, but his communication was outstanding. He responded to messages quickly, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He followed instructions perfectly, was reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cared about my pets’ well-being. What impressed me most is that Jonathan truly loves animals. It’s obvious in the way he interacts with them and the level of care he provides. Honestly, he’s so good at what he does that I find myself wishing I could hire him as part of my own team. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, trustworthy, and exceptional with animals, I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough. He is absolutely fantastic.”

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve taken care of animals from all walks of life for as long as I can remember! I’m also a second year veterinary student at UF with experience working part time in a pet hospital, so health and general well-being are my highest priorities for your fur babies! Troubled pup? No prob! My own dog took years of training and guidance to get him to be comfortable around people and able to walk on a leash, so I am willing to help out with dogs from all backgrounds and all training levels! Send me a message, and we can chat about our next visit! Being a full-time veterinary student means I'm usually busy learning how to better take care of your pets Monday through Friday during normal business hours. HOWEVER, there is usually a 1-2hr block cut out of each of my days where I can easily sneak out to take your furry friend on a walk or let them out to go potty! At my home - While I have no fenced yard, my apartment complex has an on-site dog park that's left mostly unused, and we live less than 10 minutes from awesome walking locations like Depot Park, Northside Park, or even just walks around the neighborhood (Stephen Foster area). I do have a kitty named Capybara at home, but she's a recluse who will likely pay no mind to any furiends we have staying with us. Seeing as she keeps herself pretty occupied with napping and watching squirrels from her catio, I will plenty of time to spare for your fur baby! On walks - walking a dog is a truly bonding experience and I prioritize my clients comfortability with our outdoor activities! I love hiking and long walks, but short walks around the block are also good! I love getting the opportunity to get out and active with a four-legged fur friend by my side! Having had reactive dogs of my own, I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and always keep babies on leash to ensure safety and positive experiences on every trip! Have a gentle leader? No fear, I’m very experienced with using one and can even help train your pet to be more comfortable in one as well! Have questions? Don’t be shy! Send me a message, and I’m sure we can work out what’s best for you and your pet!

“Our pup Walker is not the easiest dog for most people but Chandrika was super comfortable dealing with his anxiety and let him be! It's not easy for us to feel comfortable with someone but she immediately had my wife and I feeling comfortable. We got home from dinner and Walker was happy and fed! We can't for Chandrika to watch walker again!”


About: I have taken care of several pets of family and friends over the last few years through house sitting and drop ins. Most pets I have encountered warm up to me quickly. I enjoy playing with the pets I meet and helping reinforce skills their pet parents have taught them. For this reason multiple family and friends have requested I petsit their pets repeatedly and I enjoy spending time with their furry loved ones each time! My schedule is flexible, so I can take care of your pets when most times. I am most available during the day between 7am -5pm. I am happy to take dogs on a walk during the day, and serve pets their meals. I can also play with them and provide them some company if they need it.

“Monica did a great job for us when we were on a short vacation. She spent lots of time with our 2 cats twice a day and sent us brief messages and photos regularly. She also indulged me with my declining Spanish ability!”
About: • Boarding or overnight stays at my clean, cozy home (fenced backyard included) • 24/7 availability • Dog walking & dog park trips • Feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, cuddles • Picture updates throughout every stay (because I know you miss them!)

“This is the second time I contacted Stephanie, to take care of kai ( my husky ) I recommend her 1000%. The house is always in perfect conditions. Today she left a sweet letter with a picture of kai ! ☺️❤️”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for about six years now, I started helping my sister when she originally joined Rover. It got to the point where we had our regulars and their dogs became family to us! Long story short, she moved and I still have a few regulars, but I have some extra time on my hands because of my school schedule and am excited to meet some new pets :) I am currently a student at UF (last semester woohoo!) and have classes Tuesdays-Thursdays. All other days I am typically available, just need a bit of a heads up :) I also have some time midday Tuesday in between some classes. I always take care of dogs how I wish others would take care of mine. I am a strict rule follower and will care for your pets exactly how you want me to (plus some extra cuddles)! I will respect any of your wishes if you choose to book with me.
“Anna did great pet sitting our 3 fur babies while we were away over the weekend. They warmed up to her well and we could tell they had been well cared for. We will definitely use her again for per sitting!”

About: My entire life I’ve lived and cared for dogs in all shapes in sizes. From stubby Corgis to big, fluffy Bernese mountain dogs, or my wonderful pack of Australian cattle dogs back home. I was the one largely responsible for the care of my family’s elderly Berner, Diogi (pronounced D-O-G) in his final years of life. I’ve fostered and raised several new born puppies of varying temperament and seen them off to loving families, but I’m most proud of the unbreakable bond I’ve formed with who I would call my “soul-dog”, Winnie, my red Australian cattle dog whom I love more dearly than anything. Unfortunately she had to stay behind when I moved to Gainesville for college, but I get to see her often enough. I work on the side in retail as well as attend school full time. Despite this, my schedule is flexible and I have days throughout the week I am 100% free for anything. My regular school days see me out before 1PM. When I do work, I typically go in early afternoon (~2PM) and leave around 8-10PM. I live in an apartment complex which has several grassy areas to use the bathroom and get some sniffs in.. Nearby there are several nature trails as well as quite a few dog parks within walking distance. I do own a car which I am willing to use to drive to other locations for longer walks/new environments.
About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember and family and friends have always relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while away. I’ve taken care of anywhere from small dogs for large dogs and even fish. I am currently a 4th year college student so I will have plenty of time on the weekdays and weekends. My schedule is very flexible all days of the week. I live at a safe apartment complex and I have no pets of my own so your pet will be safe and sound. I have a couple dog toys that I am more than happy to share.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Orange Heights is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $14 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 929 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Orange Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Orange Heights. 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
