“Came back from my trip and our Shiba seemed actually sad (in his way) that Kenya was leaving. We were noting how much he’s grown accustomed to having Kenya around. They definitely have a bond.”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my 4 dogs and Colleen was amazing! She had great communication through the entire stay and I felt like my dogs were in great hands. I was not worried for a minute while they were in her care. I will definitely be rebooking Colleen in the future.”
“Isis was great. She took the time to do a meet and greet before my trip, to get the lay of the land and meet the pups. Throughout the tip got regular updates about how the pups were getting on, and very responsive to messages sent throughout the trip.”
“Makenna is the bomb! She not only made our two k-9 girls fall in love with her, she also changed the bed, cleaned the house and left us a wonderful unexpected surprise!!! She is also a classy dresser and a delightful person! Thank you Makenna, we will definitely ask you to stay again. Kathy and Michael”
“Tori was amazing! Punctual, dependable and so sweet! We received daily updates from Tori showing how our fur baby was doing which gave us comfort while away. She is a fantastic pet sitter who we highly recommend! :)”
“Rylee did a fantastic job helping us look after our 2 boys. She communicated well and kept us updated on everything. Would love to keep working with her in the future!”
“Raechel was great! This was my first time using the app and I was in a bit of a time crunch and this was also the first time I needed a house sitter for my animals. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats so the job was large and Raechel did not blink an eye to it! Her communication is fabulous as I was sent multiple pictures each day of the crew. Even my most reclusive cat seemed to love her new sitter which totally surprised me! Overall the dogs and cats seemed to love their new friend for the week and I felt completely confident in Raechel while I was gone.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 6 years, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love doing. I started by helping friends, neighbors, and family with their pets, and over time I became the person everyone called when they needed someone they could trust. I’m also a Frenchie mom, so I understand how important it is to have someone who treats your pets like family. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities.. Whether a dog is shy, playful, or a little stubborn, I have patience and experience working with different personalities. When I come for a visit, I don’t just do the basics and leave. I make sure your pets get love, playtime, and real interaction so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re gone. Over the years, I’ve helped with feeding routines, medication, crate time, potty breaks, walks, and keeping pets entertained and comfortable. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe and cared for. Your pets will be treated like my own with plenty of affection, attention, and care at every visit. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I currently work part-time from home and make my own schedule. This gives me plenty of flexibility to stop by for visits and walks throughout the day. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, or evening care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to make sure they get the attention and love they need. I’m also available on weekends and can often accommodate same-day requests if something comes up unexpectedly. As a Frenchie mom, I know how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. At home, my own dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and walks throughout the day, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your routines and instructions so your pets feel secure and comfortable. I take my time during visits, make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and lots of love. I’m gentle, patient, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always come first.
“Susan, was not only so compassionate and but so knowledgeable about what my dog was going through after her surgery which she had a few days before our time with her. She immediately greeted my dogs and my daughter as if they were part of her family, they were all obsessed with her amazing energy (and of course so are we)! She made us feel so comfortable and gave us such a peace of mind when it was time to leave our dogs and visit Disney for the day! It just felt like we had known her for years and it was so refreshing not to worry about them all day at Disney! She took so much stress off of our plates and made the whole visit, so special! I will be asking for Susan as soon as we go back and visit Disney! Wished she lived near us, so we could have her watch our dogs for every trip! You will definitely not be disappointed if you have Susan come watch your animals! Thank you so much Susan for being you! We just love you so very much!!!”
About: I have experience working in a vet office and working with pets. I’ve always loved animals and they gravitate towards me naturally. I am patient, reliable, and calm with all animals. I am working full time, however, I have evenings and weekends available. I currently work 7-3:30pm and I am available after work. My evenings and weekends are yours as needed. With my previous experience of working in a vet office I have experience in working with dogs of all temperaments and sizes. I am confident in maintaining a calm environment.
“Cynthia was great! She asked all the right questions and had asked about items we had on our pets’ profiles before she came (she actually read them)!! She sent fun status updates throughout the days, the pets bonded with her, and she even brought in some packages for me even though I hadn’t asked yet. Will definitely book with her in the future, thank you Cynthia!”
About: I grew up in a pet family and I always had a way of forming special bonds with them. I grew up with cats, dogs, lizards, rodents, and snakes. All creatures are special and unique and deserve care specific to them. I have pretty open availability! I am a barista, and my schedule is really flexible! I typically only work 6 hours a day, so I’m sure I can fit your needs! My pets at home are welcome to free roam. But every situation is different and you understand what your pet needs better than I will. I’ve always been great with direction so tell me what to needs to be done and it will be.
“Christina was great & took the time to get to know our puppy Coco before we went on vacation. She sent us regular photos, videos & updates (she should be a photographer 📷). She took Coco for walks & played with her. We highly recommend Christina for taking care of and loving on your pet. We will definitely have her watch Coco again.”
“We booked a last minute travel and we were looking for someone to take care of our baby girl in our home, Lindsey got back to us quick, and was available. Lindsey is responsible, punctual and the most important, Lilica loved her! She sent us pictures of Lilica, we loved it, we could enjoy our travel knowing Lilica was in good hands! I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for a great petsitter to take care of your furry friend while you are away! Thanks again Lindsey, Lilica misses you! Hope to see you again anytime soon!”
“This is the second time that Nick has taken wonderful care of my kitty, Ivy and I have him booked for two more times in the coming months. Nick is an excellent pet sitter. He communicates frequently, makes sure that Ivy gets cuddles and treats and looks after my home. I highly recommend Nick for overnight pet sitting!!”

She was fabulous and very responsive to our requests. We received wonderful photos and amazing care of our cat and dog while we were gone. Came back to a clean house and happy animals and loved the incredibly thorough details that we received while gone. Thank you for being so easy to work with! It’s always a relief knowing your babies are in good hands.
Marie is amazing, a complete Godsend. I have an extremely hard time leaving my dogs but she made it so easy for me to take my family away on vacation. I got constant updates and the dogs adored her. I’m looking forward to more family vacations knowing Marie is in our lives now 🙏. We appreciate her so much.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Orlando is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 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 3,223 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orlando. 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 Orlando 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 Orlando 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 Orlando 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.
