About: I’ve had two dogs a cocker spaniel growing up and now a golden doodle. I take care of friends and family dogs and will always be the most loving to your fur babies like their my own! I’m currently not working as I am a student in college focusing on school! For the most part I am free availability and flexible if notified! I don’t have a fenced in yard but big areas to play and my friendly high energy doodle to keep company, I crate my dog at night and am more than happy to agree with your preferences for your dog! I love spending time outside and walks!
About: My love for animals began at age 10, when my family rescued two kittens from Morocco during a vacation. That early experience grew into a lifelong devotion to caring for all kinds of creatures. I later spent 20 years on a small farm in Loxahatchee tending to cats, dogs, chickens, turkeys, exotic birds, and many abandoned animals who found their way to my door. With decades of hands‑on experience, from feral cats to bottle‑fed newborns, from energetic pups to sensitive birds, I bring calm, patient, loving care to every animal I meet. Each pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to understand what helps them feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. With a part‑time work schedule, I’m able to offer calm, unhurried, and attentive loving care to your favorite companion, no matter their species or personality. In your home, I create a peaceful, familiar experience for your pet. I follow your routines with care, offer calm companionship, and pay close attention to their emotional and physical needs. Whether it’s feeding, play, cuddles, or quiet presence, I make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and gently cared for.
About: I have over 30 years of personal experience owning dogs, having almost 4 at once on my family's country farm growing up. Since I was a toddler I've had an easy connection with dogs that allows me to make fury friends easly. I've seen the good and bad of what it takes to look after them, from a new puppy to a sunset dog. I work a full time but I'm open to mornings from 7-9:30am and any hour after 7:30 pm after working. I'm otherwise free otherwise all day on Monday and Thursday I pay extra attention to wants and needs while ensuring food and water are always available. I keep pets in the designated area unless otherwise allowed. I would prefer to sit at your house on camera if possible as I do have 2 dogs at home that are friendly but want to make sure there is ample room for everyone.

About: I have loved dogs since before I can remember! My parents rescued many dogs while I was a kid and I am comfortable with all energies and sizes. In Colorado, I spent a lot of time staying in clients homes with their dogs while they went on vacation. I would keep the same routine their dog knew and loved! I am flexible and willing to do whatever is needed to keep you and your pet happy and without worry! I am living at my dad’s helping with him and his dog at home. My schedule is very open and I could use some more time with dogs! Before moving here I was constantly dog sitting or walking. I try to get as much information about what the pet enjoys or is triggered by. Also knowing routines and things that need to be done. I am willing to do whatever is asked of me.
About: I have experience from my own pets throughout the years and being a vet tech for 7+ years. I have experience with cats and dogs. I can take care of them young or old. Just let me know your routines and i will try to fill the void while you are gone. I work at an animal hospital during the day so I can stop in before work, on my lunch break and after work, whichever you prefer. Im not offering home services at the moment, but if you would like me to stop in and make sure your pet has the best care. Also if medications are needed to be given, please let me know. I can do so and also make sure no love is lost when you are gone. I love animals and its one of the reasons why I got into the Vet field.

About: I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. As an Army ROTC cadet, graduate student, and former Resident Assistant, I've learned the importance of responsibility, communication, and consistency. I'm currently home full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time outdoors and am happy to accommodate energetic pets that enjoy long walks as well as senior pets that may need a slower pace and extra attention. I will always strive to follow your pet's routine closely and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they're receiving attentive care while you're away. My goal is simple—to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind. I'm currently home full-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Staying active is an important part of my daily routine, so I'm always happy to provide walks, playtime, and companionship for energetic pets while also making time for those who prefer a slower pace. My flexible schedule allows me to devote plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care, including frequent potty breaks, regular check-ins, and lots of love while they're with me. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions before every booking. My home features a securely fenced yard that provides plenty of space for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I strive to provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment while keeping owners updated throughout their stay. I understand the trust that comes with caring for an important member of your family, and I will treat every pet with the same level of care and respect that I would want for my own.

I will care for your animals the same as you do, that goes as far as food, water, potty time, and kennel time as well as anything else.
“We had some miscommunication re the starting date and time, but worked it out to our mutual satisfaction. When I showed her the daily routine, she paid attention and actually took notes. That gave me confidence in her bc that’s what I would do. She took wonderful care of my cat. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeanice.”

About: I love taking care of my family, friends, and coworkers pets. Seeing the joy form in the dog’s faces when I meet their needs is so accomplishing. I’d love to take care of yours! My schedule is always flexible and I’m ready to take care of your pet needs! I am a student and have a lot of time available. I love taking care of pets and every dog I have cared for is always excited to see me again. I can’t wait to meet your puppy!

About: I’ve always grown up with dogs but have been dog sitting for several years now. At home my family has two very high-energy dogs so I know what it takes to keep them occupied and exercised. We can have lots of play time if that’s what your dog enjoys or just hangout together around the house if that’s more their speed. You can guarantee on receiving updates and photos of your dog while away if all the fun things we are doing! We will do a long walk or run or playtime in the morning before it’s too hot out. Throughout the day we will have outside time and can do shorter walks or go on adventures together and in the evening another long walk or playtime! My schedule is super flexible. I follow your care instructions so the dog has the same rules and routines while you’re away. I want your dog to be comfortable and have fun while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog! She maintained great contact, keeping us updated with pictures and text messages. She followed instructions to the letter and showed great attention to detail. It was July 4th weekend and fireworks were really terrifying for our boy. Jennifer handled him like a pro! We had never used a house sitter before and were anxious how our dog would do. We had NOTHING to worry about with Jennifer. We are already talking about planning another trip since this worked out so well. I give Jennifer a 10 on a 10 scale! She was FABULOUS!”

About: Though I do not have a yard, I do understand the importance of daily activity (especially for dogs) and in regards to that, I live in close proximity to two dog parks. Growing up around different animals, I’ve grown fond, familiar, and comfortable with caring for different species (from rodents to felines and canines and pretty much anything in between). I am looking to make extra money and gain experience with different breeds of animals, as I am planning to embark on a journey into veterinary school. I love all animals and believe wholly in treating and caring for them correctly. I’ve had cats, dogs, rodents (gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs) , ferrets, birds, reptiles (leopard geckos and turtles), and rabbits just to name a few. I’m always willing to go the extra mile for an animal (whether it’s my pet or not) and I get along with practically any animal and fully believe in building a strong bond with pets.
“Christine was fantastic! The fur babies were happy and well cared for, and she went the extra mile to get our mail, and the house was spotless when we returned. We really appreciated the thorough communication during her stay and concern for their well being!”

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.
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.
“Benjamin is an amazing pet sitter for us. We have 3 dogs and a cat are around the house a lot. Our pets are very used to human companionship throughout the day and Benjamin was able to provide that. He took such good care of our animals, it seemed like we were barely missed. He is a true animal lover with a lot of experience. Thank you Benjamin!!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities—from Chihuahuas to German Shepherd mixes—whether they were mine or part of someone else’s pack. I understand different temperaments and needs, and I treat every pup like family. Plus, I stay connected to expert advice through a close friend who’s a professional dog trainer. I’m fully available for dog walking, drop-ins, and in home services on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. On Thursdays and Fridays, I’m available from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines, provide loving attention, and keep the environment safe and clean. I ensure pets feel secure and happy while their owners are away, and I always respect the home as if it were my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 714 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 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.
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
- 98% 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.
