“This team was amazing and taking care of our son with such a short notice, and I cannot wait to look again and feel the confidence that I had this time with leaving my pet with a good caregiver.”
“Maricel has trust 100%. She has cared for my Lollie as if Lollie was her own pet! Daily updates including pictures and immediate response time when I text her! My home is always as clean and orderly as I left it. She is just the best!!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of all different shapes, sizes and kinds. I’ve had a few ferrets growing up as well as dogs and cats. I have been responsible for walking them, feeding them and bathing them from time to time. I’m currently working part-time so I would have adequate enough time to play, walk and cuddle with cute puppies and kittens of all sizes and ages. I live in an unfenced in house with plenty of space for walking and running around in the backyard. The house itself is also pretty spacious.
“Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!”
“Natalia was truly the BEST Rover sitter we could have ever hoped for. From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, thoughtful, and caring — and she treated our home and fur babies like they were her own. We have three dogs and a cat, and every single one of them was so loved and well cared for while we were away. One of our pups ended up having an unexpected flea issue and was super itchy while she was staying with them, and Natalia immediately stepped in and handled everything with so much care and compassion. She bathed all three dogs, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated every step of the way. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. On top of taking amazing care of the animals, she went completely above and beyond with our home. She did laundry, swept, cleaned, remade the bed, and left the house better than we left it. You can genuinely tell she is the kind of person who respects and cares for other people’s space. Natalia is kind, trustworthy, attentive, responsible, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt so comfortable having her in our home and caring for the members of our family we love most. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone looking for a sitter who will love your pets deeply, communicate wonderfully, and care for your home with incredible respect should book her immediately. She is an absolute gem and we would trust her again in a heartbeat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This was our second time booking with Katie and she was awesome as usual! My pups and kitties absolutely love her! She gives updates, pictures and videos. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to trust to watch our fur babies!!”
About: With years of experience volunteering for the Orange County animal shelter, helping neighbors by walking their pets & caring for my own puppy for many years I’m currently in online school with a flexible schedule so I am very flexible on times and am willing to work around different schedules and needs. I am dedicated to making the pet owner feel comfortable and will assure tasks are done with the safety and happiness of your pet in mind.
“Charity was punctual, communicative and shared photos throughout her stay. I felt confident that my pups were loved and well taken care of during her stay, and didn't worry the entire time I was gone. Thanks, Charity! We look forward to seeing you soon!”
About: I've had dogs all my life, from puppies to 20 year old senior dogs. Liz my baby is an elderly girl who is special needs. I'm familiar with giving oral medications and eye drops due to her disabilities. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time for your pup! Whether you're in need of a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, I'm available for your pup. I have one dog, and do have a crate if needed. I have a fenced in yard. I also have three cats that get along with dogs very well, and have plenty of space to get alone time if they need it.
“Mia stayed over and took care of our dogs while we were out of town. She adhered to their schedule and looked after them just as we would have. Our dogs were happy and well cared for. Mia is very reliable and diligent. Her love for dogs is evident, and I greatly appreciate her services when needed.”
“I can't begin to describe how thankful we are to have found Daniela. It's hard to find professional and reliable pet sitters. Daniela has gone above and beyond for our fur babies. She was always on time and constantly sent updates and pictures. I know our fur babies are in good hands with Daniela. Highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: Hello my name is Liliana I been doing this for a long time for my family or friends. Anyone in my family that needs their dogs to be taken care of while they go and enjoy their vacation or even when they are at work. I worked with big dogs and small dogs. Like Boxers, Yorkees, Border Collie, Labrador Retriever etc... I will make sure your dog is fed at the time you prefer and make sure it the amount you instruct.

“This is our second time using Kacie, but the first time for house sitting. Once again, she did a wonderful job and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and took good care of everything.”
“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”
“Eva was an amazing house sitter for our dog, Kaiya! She took great care of her, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We truly appreciate her kindness and reliability—highly recommend!”

“We hired Katelyn last minute as we decided to leave the dogs behind this time. She was very prompt with the meet up and extremely professional and had excellent communication skills. We had her house sit as our dogs are giant babies and she was awesome! Both dogs did not seem bothered by our absence. We will definitely use her in the future!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Osteen is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $65 per night.

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 Osteen 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 Osteen 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 Osteen 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 Osteen. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
