About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. At four, I caught a garter snake and kept him for a week before my parents made me let him go. As a kid, I was always catching frogs and lizards and looking for any chance to spend time with animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for rabbits, gerbils, frogs, turtles, tortoises, dogs, and birds. I also maintained a tropical fish tank for 13 years. I currently have two cats, turkeys, chickens, and ducks. Animals mean the world to me. I’m extremely patient and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, earn their trust, and help them feel comfortable and loved. Whether furry, feathered, or scaly, your pet will have my full attention and care tailored to their needs. I am available full-time for pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to work around your pet’s usual habits and give them plenty of time, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I follow your care instructions closely, whether you leave a detailed checklist or a few simple guidelines. I keep feeding schedules, walks, and other routines consistent with what your pet is used to and ask questions whenever something needs clarification. In your home, I respect your privacy, belongings, and house rules, leave the spaces I use tidy, and make sure everything is secure before leaving. I’m happy to provide photos and updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Margot was very professional. She read all of the notes about my pets before arriving. She had to give medication to two of my pups. All was well when I returned home. I arrived home to four happy dogs! I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve always had pets in my life and now would pass on that love and compassion to your dog. Lots of experience in old and young dogs. I am retired and have extra time so my friend told me about Rover and she loves it so I want to enjoy the experience also! I will make whatever steps necessary that are needed to care for your dog in your home. At my home, they will have free roaming of a 2000 square-foot home and enjoy my daughter and my granddaughter also helping love your dog.
“Danielle did a great job sending me pictures and keeping me updated while I was away. When I returned, the house the way I left it and the pups were exhausted from the play time she spent with them. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
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!

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 personally had and cared for a variety of pets my whole life. From a variety of dogs and cats of various breeds and sizes, to guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, snakes, lizards, fish, ferrets and limited experience with farm animals. I have a senior dog who is special needs and cannot walk. I especially love to take him on walks in his stroller and swim with him for exercise.

Pets are my only focus! I have a fenced in yard for your pets to play in and a pool if they love to swim! There is plenty of space in my 3 bedroom home if they need to relax alone, have crate time or they can play with my two friendly dogs. I have one 7 year old lab mix with lots of energy and a senior shitzu that is friendly and calm with special physical needs. There are no children or other pets in this home. Non smokers.

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.
“Stephanie is absolutely fabulous! She’s extremely accommodating, fantastic communicator, my dog’s had a great time with her, and I will definitely be using Stephanie again. I can’t recommend Stephanie highly enough – your fur babies and your home will be incredibly well taken care of with Stephanie.”


“Patricia did a great job taking care of our pup! They had lots of long walks/hikes and lots of cuddles on the couch. We came back to a very clean house (sheets cleaned without us even asking) and a very happy and tired dog. Totally recommend Patricia!!”

“We loved having Samantha watch our pets! Her experience working at the emergency vet clinic gave us peace of mind. She was flexible in taking our dogs into daycare while we were gone too. Thank you for everything!”

“We appreciate Sophia! She took excellent care of our 4 dogs, asked questions when needed, was punctual and all of which allowed us to enjoy our trip. Next time we are out of town, we will reach out to her first. Thank you!!”

About: Let me first start off with saying how much I love animals I grew up in 4h an FFA. Growing up I watched all of our family friends pets and house/farm sat for them when they were out of town and I have a lot of references. I offer dog walking, boarding , and in home visits. At home away from home doggie services when your family member is in our home they are treated like our family, welcome to lounge on couch go for walks play in our yard an if they like to swim they are in luck we have a pool and if not they can lay and take a sun bath. Then come in a lounge on couch and watch bluey. This isn’t just a job for me, not just a service it’s my dream. I work from home. Come check out the home away from home doggie services. As I’m sure you will not regret it we do not like to brag but if I was a dog I would definitely be wagging my way to home away from home. Happy paws ❤️ Ps we also send picture updates as requested from mommy or daddy throughout day:) and FaceTimes.
“Taylor was amazing and was very good at providing daily updates when she house-sat for me. She was very patient with my timid cat and proved to be incredibly trustworthy and sweet! Will definitely be contacting her again if the need arises.”

About: I am fun, loving and adore animals. I have spent many years riding horses at a barn surrounded with animals. During my lifetime I have had three dogs, which I have raised from puppies. I have trained my dogs and spent hours playing with, walking, and taking them to dog parks. I enjoy all sorts of animals. I quickly develop a relationship with new animals. I have been responsible for walking several of my neighbors dogs since I was a young teenager. As a student and a part time employee I know how to manage my time well and I’m very dependable. I am sensitive to dogs moods and needs. I enjoy the outdoors and have big heart. Let me walk your dog in your neighborhood.

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 6 years now. I’m very good at training and making dogs feel loved and happy. Making sure they are well taken care of and feeling happy is my priority. I’m currently working part time and outside of that, my schedule is flexible. So I can work with any schedule that is provided right now. I live in a very safe and protected apartment complex. They also cater to dog friendly areas with walking trails and dog bathing areas. So there is a lot of space for playing and walking.
About: I have worked at a Pets R Us Albuquerque NM, I have a GSP and I love him. I reserch everything on animals to make them feel better and to understand them more. I am always home, housewife duties with 2 children that love animals. Will have plenty of time to care for them and make them feel welcome and cuddle with them. I can crate the dogs if needed. I have a very friendly GSP 1 year old that loves to play. In the clients home I can give all my attention to them and make sure they are taken care and fed and walked. Most important loved.
About: I’ve had a dog since age 7 and would give him baths and take him for walks. As an Amazon driver I had many cases where dogs would charge at me barking and growling, but they’d quickly start wagging their tails after sniffing my hand and sensing that I’m not a threat. I also have had cats all my life and my cat, Jazzy, is my best friend and only trusts me! I just moved to FL from CT and am currently staying with my grandmother and looking for a part time job and hope to be able to take care of pets on my off days I am very careful to follow any instructions for caring for your pets. I’m not careless or forgetful and will follow any directions to a T and ask questions if I am unsure about anything.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 707 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.
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 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orchid. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
