“Kenya house sat for me and my pups for the last 5 days and as always, she was the best! She made sure to keep me updated and send pics of my babies that I was missing so much. She left everything tidy and my pups were happy when I got home. It’s nice to have the peace of mind when she is taking care of them :)”
“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!!”
“Domenique was professional, on time, and great and keeping me updated while she watched over my dog and puppy while I was out of the country. She is a pleasure to work with and will like to have her watch my dogs in the future.”
“Youm did an amazing job with our dog! Communication was outstanding and made us feel comfortable that our dog was being loved and taken care of. She even handled a minor household emergency (not her fault) perfectly and professionally. Would highly recommend her and will book with her again.”
“Tiffany did a fantastic job taking care of our two kittens while we were away! She stayed in our home and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout our trip. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We really appreciate the care and attention she provided, and we wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with our kittens again. Highly recommend Tiffany to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
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.
“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!”
“Christina was a huge hit with both of my pups from their first meeting. Having her housesit for us for a long weekend was fabulous- she was very communicative, sending lots of pictures, and made sure the pups were comfortable. We’ll definitely work with her again!”
“Anneke was a literal dream! This is the first time I've ever had a non-family member watch Rocco and she was so communicative and understanding. She was so good with Rocco and I felt so comfortable with her there. 10/10 all around. We will definitely be booking her again and again!”
“Isabella was excellent! She did a wonderful job staying with my skittish orange cat, Sushi. I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to have her house sit again!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She’s so sweet, and Bingo and Chloe adored her. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Nick did an amazing job taking care of our pups! The pups LOVED him and were a little sad that he had to leave 🤣. Hope to be able to have Nick visit again in the future!”
“Yelena was great, easy to reach and communicate with. Skai loved her and she even left her a new toy to play with! You can tell she is very experienced with dogs especially being that Skai can be very hyper but it did not seem to bother her at all. I would definitely book again, she made things very easy and smooth thank you :)”
“Brooke is very responsible and communicates well. She was great with our three senior dogs and was easily able to handle their meds and did everything we asked. I would not hesitate to use Brooke for all our dog sitting and walking needs.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Orlando is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orlando
Rhonda was absolutely amazing with our sweet Sunny! Sunny is very attached to her mommy and papa and isn’t used to being away from us, but she really warmed up to Rhonda, which meant the world to us. Rhonda was so caring, patient, and attentive, and she truly put my mind at ease while we were away. Knowing my sweet baby was in such good hands made all the difference. We are so grateful for the love and care she gave Sunny and will definitely be using her again! Thank you so much, Rhonda! ❤️🐾
Michael took excellent care of Branch! He communicated with us great and sent adorable pictures and updates on Branch that made us feel better about the long time away from our sweet pup and brought lots of joy to our day seeing his cute face! We feel great knowing Branch was so well loved by Michael! He also took excellent care of our home, when we arrived home all was clean and tidy and very well cared for. Thank you so much Michael for spending time and taking care of and loving Branch while we were away!
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 November 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 November 2026, there are 3,204 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 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 Orlando. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
