“Kenya was a great home and dog sitter for my Penny! She was communicative and sent me regular updates and pictures. No issues whatsoever. I would definitely have Kenya watch Penny again!”
“Hailey was great! This was our first time using a dog sitter as well as the first time having someone stay in our home that wasn’t a friend or family member to help out. She made us feel comfortable with both our dog and our home in her hands. Great communication and it was obvious our dog had a great experience as well. We are lucky to already have her booked for a future trip :) thank you Hailey!”
“Mariia was absolutely amazing with lotus and coco. Thanks to her I was finally able to enjoy a vacation worry and stress free. I’ve used Rover once in the past and had an awful experience with two different people canceling on me a day and two days before my trip and then the sitter that finally agreed to watch them, canceling on me after I left for my trip. My dogs can be super crazy at first and need some time getting used to someone new. Mariia came over once to meet them for a bit and then came over early the day I was leaving to spend some time with them before I left and that really helped my dogs get comfortable with her. I definitely over worry any time I’m away from my dogs and stress about whether they’re being good, but she stayed in contact with me every day sending messages and photos and it really helped me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my dogs. I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone that I can rely on to watch them when I go on vacation. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Marie is the BEST! I am so thankful that I left my sweet, sometimes challenging, senior dog with Marie during my trip to Europe. Marie is confident with all kinds of medications and based on all of the photos she sent, my dog enjoyed was beyond loved and happy the whole time. Traveling with the comfort, knowing that my pup was taken care of meant everything to me. Thank you, Marie!!”
“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.”
“I am thankful and grateful to Katarina. She stayed overnight with my three dogs for the weekend. She was reliable communicated well and sent pictures throught her stay. My dogs can be a handful but were relaxed and comfortable with her. Would recommend her and look forward to using her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Cane Corsos, and many others. My love for animals goes far beyond simply caring for them—they truly become family. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m committed to providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets. If you choose me as your pet sitter, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member will be treated with patience, compassion, and plenty of love every step of the way Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., which allows me plenty of time each day to provide attentive care before and after work. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love and attention they deserve. On the weekends, I’m completely off, giving me even more flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and spend quality time with them. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. In my client’s home, I strive to keep your pet on their normal schedule by providing fresh food and water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed and with instructions), and plenty of affection. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while I’m there. To give you peace of mind, I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll provide patient, loving, and reliable care tailored to their individual needs.
“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!”
“Our 2 Dachshund pups had a wonderful time and were well taken care of by Michael for 4 nights in our home. Thank you so much Michael!! We highly recommend Michael and will continue to hire him going forth!”
“Logan was absolutely fantastic with our dogs! Leaving them behind is never easy, especially because they are highly active and each have their own unique personalities, but Logan made the entire experience stress-free. He gave them plenty of attention, kept up with their energy levels, and made sure they were well cared for while we were away. We loved receiving updates and could tell our pups were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s clear that Logan genuinely cares about the animals he watches, and that peace of mind is priceless. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home. We highly recommend Logan to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. We would gladly have him watch our dogs again!”
“Wonderful house sitter & took terrific care of our cat Oscar. Deborah leapt in to help us on short notice when another Rover sitter bailed the night before she was due to start. My wife and I highly recommend Deborah and would be happy to use her again.”
“Christina is the absolute best! She took amazing care of my two big dogs. She shared a ton of updates and went above and beyond to ensure they stayed safe. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Dwight is outstanding and we’ve used him a few times now. His communication is excellent, our dogs and house are well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Dwight for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: I grew up with cats, and have always had them around. I think cats are every bit as complex a critter to know and appreciate as dogs are. I got my first dog 11 years ago- he is about 50% Heeler, and the love of my life. I have found consistency and kindness go a long way in happy pets. I currently only doing gig work as I job hunt, so I have nothing but time. My weekends have 5 hour blocks that I would be away, but I can adapt that as needed. I am involved in renaissance festivals and we are in rehearsal for 2 shows currently. I am used to medicating, feeding, and caring for high energy, low energy, medically complex, or simple critters as needed. I am happy to learn your baby’s quirks and be sure they get the love and support they need while you are away.
“Makenna was amazing! Very communicative and sent lots of sweet photos during the stay. We could tell our pup loved her. Don’t hesitate to book with Makenna!”
“Devona was amazing! She was available to housesit my two (loud, obnoxious) corgis and she was so great with them by sending tons of photos and updates throughout her stay. Highly recommend Devona and will sure be using her again.”
“My first experience with Rover is with Cristina, Cristina is fabulous with our puppy, Dash. Cristina played with Dash, brought him to the dog park and took him on various walks. Cristina is very pleasant, happy, and passes on her confident personality which makes a first-time Rover-user like me, feel confident when leaving their puppy with the caretaker for the day!! And Dash could sense immediately the pleasant character of Cristina, so he showed readiness in leaving his Mama, which came as a surprise to me!! When we come back to Central Florida, we will give you a shout! Thank you Cristina!”
“Autumn took great care of our pups and left our house better than when we did! Great communicator, lots of photos and showed our pups having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”

Can’t express enough how well Hailey takes care of my pup! I have a very high maintenance German Shepherd that doesn’t warm up to people quickly, but Hailey has been able to befriend and gain his trust. The communication is excellent and she is very attentive during her time with him. 5 stars all the way!
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.
Oh my gosh! I feel so very fortunate to have found Mariia. Miyah took right to her first meet up, like she’d already known her. Mariia is so attentive and detail oriented, she follows exactly every instruction, (even tho Miyah didn’t!). She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and stayed in touch with me as we worked through the schedule and her first stay with us. So thankful and very highly recommend!
Logan was GREAT! He provided good communication with frequent updates and was super friendly. Most importantly, Scrappy loved him! Scrappy appreciates the company of people and Logan truly gave him that. Thank you for the service and keeping Scrappy good company.
Robin was great! She arrived on time and took care of our precious pets! She kept us informed and took pictures of the pets, we could see they were enjoying themselves. This was our first time having a pet sitter to our home and Robin made us feel very comfortable and did an excellent job. We will definitely have her back again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Orlando on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,245 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.
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 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 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.

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.
