“Isabelle was amazing! She took excellent care of our two pups, as well as everything at our home for an extended 12 day trip abroad. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you Isabelle!”

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, Rabbits, sugar gliders. Young, old, special needs. I do it all. I believe pets are like children, they love to learn. I am recently retired so I can devote as much time as needed for your furry ( not so furry) babies. A lot of love to give. I prefer to sit in the clients home as I feel the pet will be less nervous or anxious in familiar surroundings. I like the pet to get to know me in their own time. Trust is earned.
About: I was a vet tech for 15 years. I’ll treat your pet with loving kindness and respect. I know how to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I am a proud pug mom and she is like my child. I will treat your fur kid the same way. I also have experience with senior pets, as I had an old pug, who was the love of my life. I’m a runner and I can keep up with your pet. Whether it’s a walk during the day, medication administered, a one mile run with your puppy, hanging with them while you go on vacation…I’m here for you and your pet! My schedule is currently open to take care of your fur babies. Please contact me for availability, as things may be filling up as time goes on. I will care for your pets in your home! I am familiar with crate and potty training. I have 15 years experience in the veterinary tech field so I am knowledgeable. I am familiar with caring for dogs and cats.
About: I provide more than just pet sitting—I create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care, whether puppy or senior. I take the time to understand each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs, so they feel comfortable and at home. My schedule is very flexible as I work from home and if you need overnight care I can bring my laptop and work from anywhere while caring for your pet. I don’t have a fenced in yard but am comfortable walking your pet as often as necessary. In my home, they are in a clean and comfortable environment. In your home, with your instructions, your pets will enjoy their natural environment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I am a genuine animal lover and have gotten along with every pet I’ve come across with enough time. Every pet is different with a variety of needs, I’m here to understand that and give them the best care possible! I’m currently starting out on Rover so I do not currently have a routine. I am very open and fluid with scheduling so please reach out! I love spending time with animals so getting your pet to be comfortable with me is a big priority. Aside from caring for the specific needs for your pet, I would love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting your pet!

About: Hi! My name is Hailey, and I absolutely love caring for animals. I’m a third-year Biology student at UCF with a passion for animal care and conservation, and I’m excited to bring that passion to Rover! I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through my own pets, volunteer work, and everyday animal handling. At home, I have my energetic French bulldog, Lola, and my wonderful cat, Popper. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I help with cage cleanings, animal socialization, and dog walking. These experiences have taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding each animal’s individual personality are. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra playtime, a calm companion, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. Outside of Rover, I’m pursuing my Biology degree with an interest in continuing my education in veterinary sciences. Working with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I'm currently a full-time student and working part-time, so most days I'm not available. However, I am free every Saturday and Wednesday, so I'd be happy to stop in and care for your pets at any time on those days! I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and keep you updated with photos so you know they’re happy and safe.
About: I have had pets most of my life and will treat them with love and kindness. I have also volunteered for Frenchbull dog foster in the past. I am a stay at home mom and homeschool my kids, which means I am home most of the time. I have occasional outings, but I will be able to be there to make sure they go out and get lots of love. I do have chickens, but I have them blocked off with a closed in fence in our yard. I do have a big yard that is completely fenced. I will make sure your family member is comfortable and fed. Make sure they feel safe and welcomed. I will follow any and all rules or instructions presented to me for their pet and make sure they have fun. :)
“I highly recommend Kerrie to watch your fur babies!! She was very communicative throughout her stay at my home over this Thanksgiving holiday. She made it a point to check in and send pictures daily. She even let my Frenchie sleep in bed with her since that’s how he rolls. She is so sweet and absolutely loves caring for your animals. I would definitely use her services again. 💛”

About: My dog means the world to me, and I will care for yours in the same way! I am Miguel, and have been a pet lover all my life. I have a lot of experience owning and caring for dogs and cats, and other types of animals of friends, neighbors and family. I am open to caring for your pet, whether dog or lizard, meanwhile you are away from home. I grew up with a dog and 2 cats since I was 7 years old, and ever since then my passion in caring for animals intensified. Through my job experiences involving animals I have acquired a range of skills that allow me to take care each pet in its own specific way. I have a loving girlfriend and dog of my own, her name is Ellie. She is quite precious.. super loving, funny and LOVES to have other animals over. My partner loves animals as well, so she is more than open to take in your pet. Most of my days are free, and my others are spent flying (I am a pilot!), but your pet will have my complete attention while with me! . I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, day care, and boarding and more! I am currently in aviation school part time. Most of my days are free, that includes week days and weekends. My time away is usually no more than 2-4 hours.. time that are spent flying. I am flexible and willing to accommodate. My house is spacious. I have an opened back yard that's blocked off my trees, where I let my pet and others play. Plenty of toys and treats for your dog to enjoy. I stay active, taking multiple walks a day. I live close to a fenced play area where I take my dog during play time, your pets will love exploring. Responsibility is important to me and I’m going to make sure your loved one is cared for, which is why I make sure I treat your pet in its own way.
“For us, leaving our dogs with someone feels like leaving actual children. How much we are able to enjoy being away all depends on how well the pups are taken care of. We can say enough good about Dominique and how much she loved our little family. We have 3 dogs (including a pitbull) and Dominique was communicative with photos multiple times a day, updates and the dogs loved her gentle spirit. The house was clean when we got home and I'm pretty sure my Chihuahua Doug was upset he couldn't keep her. ❤️”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life. I'm the go-to for friends and family when looking for pet-care and I'm no stranger to cleaning up pet messes. I work freelance in Tampa, and live in Melbourne when I'm not working. When in Melbourne I can walk, house-sit, and play with your pet, however when I'm in Tampa, my time during the day is sparse. I can walk, house-sit, play with, and feed your pet. I love taking dogs to the dog park or the beach by my house. I'm more than happy to perform any chores you need for your pet.
“We were so anxious about leaving our 2 younger fur babies because we had never left them before and they are pretty attached to us. When she came for an initial visit all of my babies went to her, even my little one that doesn’t take to people. Zarah put our minds at ease about leaving them. She sent photos daily and reassured us they were doing great. She slept in our bed with them so they could keep up their regular routine. We will be using her for future needs.”
“Amy was great with our senior dog and took great care of the house while we were away for a long weekend. We came home to a happy pup and the house was spotless. Her communication throughout the trip was great - we will absolutely be using Amy again.”


“I would, with out a doubt, recommend Katy as your next pet sitter/house sitter. She is very sweet, prompt, detail oriented and most importantly takes excellent care of your kiddos (animals). Thank you very much Katy... until next time!”

“Tiffany was truly fantastic watching our 2 pups and 1 cat. We have a very mischievous doxie and a timid rescue pup that we always worry about while away. We got plenty of updates and Tiffany followed our instructions to the T. Wonderful to go on vacation and know they really were in great hands!”

About: Hi! My name is Chandler and I am currently still in college. I have the pleasure of caring for a dog and two cats all of whom were rescued when they were young so I have experience with training, crating, and all things that come with overly excited puppies and kittens. Shimmer is an indoor/outdoor cat so I am way too good at removing fleas and ticks. Jingles is a super friendly, Heinz-57, small dog who wanted to walk with three of his friends everyday so I have no problem handling multiple dogs of multiple sizes. I first got introduced to watching over other people’s animals about five years ago. My neighbors, who are snowbirds, had two dogs who were getting older and had a hard time traveling back and forth so they stayed with my family a couple months while they were up north for two years. I understand how every pet has a unique personality and I am committed to getting to what is necessary to keep yours happy and healthy. I really miss interacting with animals so I’m hoping you’ll allow me to give some love to your furry family members!!! I have in person classes on Thursday night. I am also working part-time Friday-Sunday. Each shift is between 4-5 hours and my schedule changes weekly. If needed I can make a set schedule with my job to accommodate your pets! Typically when I do walks, I play and make sure they had something to eat/drink before we go out. I don’t time restraint the animals unless set forth by the owner. I bring a water bowl, a toy, some treats, and doggy bags with me when I walk. If you live near a park I will most likely take your dog there if they are comfortable being around other people and dogs. If boarding in my home or yours I perform the same care as my own furry friends: probably giving them two much attention but I will follow your guidelines for when/how much food, whether or not they are allowed on furniture or should be in a crate, and any other special instructions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 718 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orchid. 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 Orchid 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 Orchid 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Orchid 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.
