“All care requested was met with flying colors! My fur babes were in the best care so happy when I returned home like they had been on vacation too! I got photos everyday of their goofy sweet faces”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life! I taught both of my late dogs how to sit, give paw, and wait until I say yes to eat their food. I love animals more than humans and I know I’d treat your pets like they’re my own! I am currently only working 1 day out of the week (Sunday’s) I work in a beautiful nursery at my local church. Monday through Saturday I am completely free all day and night. I have set feeding times for my two cats, I feed them both their own bowls of wet food in the morning, and a scoop of dry around lunch time, that they can then snack on throughout the day. Whenever I’m out I always leave on a video of birds for them to watch so they don’t get bored (they love it)!! They have their own water fountain that is cleaned every week. When I had dogs I would take them out to use the bathroom every 2-3 hours and I would feed them one scoop of dry mix in the morning and one right before I eat my own dinner. I always cuddled my companions and gave them all the love they could ever ask for!
About: Animals have always been apart of my life and to me they are little gifts from God. They teach us how to love and how to be kind to others. My experience with animals range from taking care of multiple cats including an older diabetic cat which I gave insulin shots. I have raised yorkies, goldens and duchsands but I really do love all breeds of dogs. I have cared for birds, turtles and bunnies as well. I currently rescued a paralyzed kitten and trained myself to care for this sweet baby by learning to express his bladder and feed him a special diet that will allow him to have a better quality of life. I can promise you that I will love and care for your animals as if they were my own and will respect and honor all pet owners and their wishes for their animals so when you are away from your fur babies you know that they are being cared for by the best. I am a retired Librarian, my schedule is open to provide care for all types of animals when needed at your convenience and I am adaptable. I have a medium sized fenced yard, I live near beautiful Gemini Springs park for walks and fresh air. I have a separated personal pet room for boarding other pet so they feel safe in a new area with lots or toys and soft blankets.
About: I have worked as a pet sitter for 3 years taking care of various types of animals in people's homes before moving to Florida. I walked, fed, cleaned and documented everything that was done. We provided very personal service to our clients. I am flexible and available anytime. When not pet sitting I am taking care of our animals on our small farm, this allows me to keep a very open schedule. I treat everyone's home with absolute respect and courtesy. I am very comfortable with alarm and garage codes and document everything I do with your pet. I am willing to take short videos with the time spent with your pet to ensure you see their happiness.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was about 11. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to feed, play with and walk their dogs. I would love to be your next option!! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to visit your house and cater to your pet’s everyday needs and love! I can do House Sitting whenever, as I don’t mind driving to and from work. I will be attending college soon, so I would be available MonTues before 7:30am and after 2pm, and WedThu before 2pm and around 8pm. I have a fenced yard and two pups at home that do not discriminate! They have a feeding schedule that will not interfere with your pet’s, and we have plenty of toys to go around!
About: From fitness to a casual stroll,I adjust to your fur babies needs. I am a Central Florida Native so the heat and humidity is "home" for me and walking dogs is my zen space. I am fluid because of my private yoga classes. So I am free most mornings and evenings as well as weekends. I worked in the Theme Parks for over 27 years so I no longer have those hours. I can come to your location, I have experience with delivery services from Amazon and Ups, as well as in home yoga services so I provide the best home care with attention to your family's needs.
“Breeanna was amazing, she stayed at our house while we were out of town and made our dog and cat very comfortable. She was very informative with everything and sent pictures all the time. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past 5 years. Been taking care of my own dog for a little over 10 years. I work full time during the week but am completely open on most weekends (Fridays staring at 3). I am free for dog walking after 3 during the week. I do work in the school system so I am available more during the summer 🙂 I live an active life style and love to walk outdoors with animals. I am comfortable with reactive dogs as I have had to take care of one for 10 years. I know what to do in situations that may cause dogs discomfort. I enjoy animals snuggles and making sure they are provided with the most love 🙂
About: I’ve been a pet owner for many years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. Pets are part of the family, and I will always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and care that I would want for my own. I currently have a flexible part-time schedule, which gives me plenty of availability to provide dependable dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention while you’re away or busy. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets exercise, fresh air, attention, and time to explore while keeping their safety a priority. I’m comfortable following your instructions regarding walking routes, leash preferences, feeding schedules, and your dog’s individual needs. During drop-in visits, I can provide potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime, companionship, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also make sure your pet is comfortable and everything is secure before I leave. I know leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be stressful, which is why communication and reliability are extremely important to me. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I look forward to getting to know yours! Whether your dog needs a good walk to burn off some energy or simply some company and attention while you’re away, my goal is to make their time with me safe, fun, and comfortable. 🐶❤️ I currently work part time so I have plenty of time outside of my work schedule to take care of fur babies! I don't have an exact schedule so I have the flexibility. I only offer drop in visits or home sitting. I will make sure they are in a safe environment at all times. Making sure the gates and/or doors are closed at all times so that the fur babies don't get out.
“We’re so happy we found Ashland. She watched our dogs overnight and did an amazing job following all of our instructions. She was caring and kept us updated, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our pup absolutely loved her. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Ever since I was a small child and fell in love with my best friend, a German Shepherd mix named Shilo, I have been a friend to the animals. I am also a cat lover and my family have always had feline companions. I love to walk and play and I will take good care of your babies. I have done a lot of house sitting over the years and will look after your home as though it were my own. Any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you 🙏 I am a writer, copywriter and a grant writer. I was born and raised here in DeLand and have recently returned back to live in my hometown. I am a mature, experienced, educated and responsible woman. I love all creatures, big and small and love to go on long walks and adventures.
“Tara was very prompt with responding to messages , and kept us updated (including pics) on our pup while she was sitting for us. She has a very easy going manner, which I'm sure helps keep an anxious pup like ours calm.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love being around them ❤️ I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds from pit bulls, cane corsos, schnauzers, yorkies, and chihuahuas 🐶🐕🦺 So I’m comfortable with both big and small dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality. I also have my own Yorkie Chihuahua mix that I’ve had since he was a puppy 🐾 I’ve personally trained him, & he’s very well behaved & obedient 💕 That experience has taught me patience, consistency, and how to properly care for and communicate with dogs. Your pet will be treated with love, attention, and care like they’re my own 🐾💖 I’m self-employed, so I have a very flexible schedule and am home most days 🏡💕 This allows me to give your pet lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m typically out late Thursday–Sunday (between 1am–6am) 🌙, with Friday and Saturday being my main work nights. Thursdays and Sundays are more flexible for me and can vary depending on bookings. I live in a clean, pet friendly apartment with my friendly Yorkie 🐶 Dogs are allowed to relax and roam safely in the home and will have a calm, comfortable environment to feel at ease. I prioritize safety at all times, keep a secure space, and make sure every pet is supervised and well cared for ❤️ I treat all dogs like my own and always aim to create a loving, stress free experience.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,525 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pine Lakes. 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 Pine Lakes 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 Pine Lakes 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 Pine Lakes 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.
