About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve always taken care of pets, I have had many cats and dogs myself and I can take care of one or more pets (even dogs and cats at the same time). I am a college student, that means that I can do my school work anywhere at any time, so it wouldn’t be a problem for me to watch your pet in your house. I also work as a server, but the shifts are usually 4 to 5 hours long, so I would never be gone for more than 6 hours. I love to play with dogs and cats! I would definitely have as much fun as they would when caring for them. I can feed, and clean up after them with no problem.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes since 2014. I can handle picky eaters, special diets, and dogs that need lots of attention. I have a dachshund and a chow mix, and I would love to spoil your dogs like I spoil mine! I am a Scare Actor for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. I am available during the day before and after my shifts, which should be around 8 hours. I am able to give your dog treats, play time, and crate them if needed. I always make sure water bowls are full, especially in the heat.

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.

“We loved Anna from the first meet & greet contact and so happy we found her to care of our baby at our home. She followed all instructions, was kind, patient and caring with our Bentley. She communicated timely and also took initiative to contact the maintanance staff for an AC issue the first evening we left. She made them understand this was an emergency because the house would get to hot for the doggie. This was the first time I left my dog and home with a sitter and did not worry. I was completely relaxed and came back to everything being in order. My dog is a bit shy with new people but warmed up to Anna quickly, played with her and even slept in her bed. We are so fortunate to find her here and now look forward to plan other trips. Thank you so much Anna!”

About: I’ve spent several years providing exercise and enrichment for my friends and roommates pets, going on walks and watching them during their owners vacations. Over the last 10 years my partner, I’ve adopted her dog Kiwi, Goldendoodle now 15yr old, and our second dog in covid together with Mr.Kangaroo, mixed small breed now 6yr old. We now still help both our friends and families with dog walks, daycares, or longer stays. Im currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time at home to play with your pups! I’m available for boardings on weekends, and weekdays for daycare. I have a flexible schedule for early or late availability can be arranged with some early notice. Our home has a fenced in yard with dog door access and plenty of yard space for exercises/play with our two dogs to keep your pups company and provide some encouraging energy. We have a pool for swimming and walking paths/parks near my home for short or long walks. If needed we can easily provide separation within our home for privacy or anxiety with crates and dog fences.

“Paula (aka Maria) was excellent! Another sitter that I had booked months ago for a trip out of the country cancelled at the last minute (2 weeks before departure) and that's when I found Paula. She came for a meet and greet, asked all the right questions and we agreed we were a great fit. She took exceptionally great care of my home and my pup while I was away. She updated me daily with pictures, took care of getting the mail, watching the pool water levels and all the little things that needed attention while I was away...including making sure I had enough food for my pup when I got back. She made sure the house was left "better than she found it", something not all sitters do. I am most grateful for the peace of mind I had while away.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have had my own dog since I was 6 years old. From daily walks and feeding to bathing, playtime, and comfort care, dogs have always been a big part of my life—not just pets, but family. I have extensive experience caring for large breeds, including Rottweilers. I’m confident handling strong dogs and understand the importance of structure, consistency, and calm leadership. I’m attentive to body language and individual needs to ensure every dog feels safe and respected. I also have hands-on experience with puppies, including newborn care. When my Rottweiler had puppies, I helped care for them during their early stages—monitoring feedings, cleanliness, socialization, and supporting a healthy routine as they grew. I understand the patience and consistency puppies need and enjoy helping reinforce positive behaviors. In addition, I have experience caring for senior dogs, including those who need a slower pace, extra comfort, and close monitoring. I’m attentive to mobility needs, medication routines (when applicable), and making sure senior pets feel secure and loved. I regularly care for family and friends’ dogs while they are away, providing in-home and overnight care while keeping pets on their normal routines. I prioritize communication and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, and careful attention to safety. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. I work part-time during the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to be present and engaged with your pets. I’m able to plan my schedule around their needs, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I have open availability on weekends, allowing me to provide extra care, longer stays, walks, and plenty of one-on-one time. Whether your pet needs frequent check-ins, structured routines, or just extra love and playtime, I’m able to accommodate. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedules so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet will never feel rushed or unattended—I truly enjoy spending quality time with them In My Home: Pets staying with me are treated like family. I have a large fenced-in backyard for safe play and exercise, plus a cozy converted garage space for quiet, comfortable sleep time. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, play, and rest to help them feel at home. In My Client’s Home: I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I spend at least two hours per visit to provide quality time, including walks, play, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

I reached out to Youm last minute to sit my 2 dogs at a hotel so me and my boyfriend can go to the parks. She was amazing and way more than helpful! It was reassuring to see my pups so well taken care of while we went on a much needed break! We were able to relax abd enjoy our time. When we come back we will definitely hire again! I will even tell ny friends and family that Youm is the way to go when they travel isn't their furry friends!

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!

Sarah is a wonderful sitter. She provided regular pictures and updates and took such great care of my dog during the week-long house sit. Bonus - she also left the house spotless! It’s so nice to be able to leave your pet with someone trustworthy and caring and not have to stress while you’re away.

I can’t recommend her enough! She stepped in on extremely short notice when I had a travel emergency and cared for my 13-year-old dog, Gia, for three days. Having an elderly dog with special instructions for care is always stuff but once again she went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and compassionate with Gia, making sure all of her medications, meals, and extra care were handled perfectly. She kept me updated throughout my trip with messages about how Gia was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with a senior dog, but she treated Gia like she was her own. I’m so grateful for her flexibility, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

If there was a “10 star” review, I’d rate Sarah a 10! Sarah took excellent care of my puppy Beau. She communicated with me daily, sent photos, kept me aware of walks and feedings. Sarah house sat for me and when I returned home, the house was immaculate. Prior to my trip, I had asked Sarah to meet with Beau one more time so that he knew her. She made time for us out of her busy work day. Beau took to Sarah right away! Thank you so much for taking such good care of “my baby”

Haley was absolutely amazing with Kiba! She made sure he got his walks in every day and took the time to really play with him — especially throwing his frisbee, which he loves. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure he was happy and exercised, not just “checked on.” She was also incredibly accommodating with my schedule, which made everything so much easier and stress-free for me. I felt completely comfortable knowing Kiba was in such caring and responsible hands. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and kind pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Orlovista

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Orlovista is $51 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $84 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 3,147 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orlovista. 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 Orlovista 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 Orlovista 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 Orlovista 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.
