About: I’ve grew up with dogs since I was 7. I have experience in the puppy to senior stages. I have taken care of cats as well as reptiles for friends and family. I also have quite a few pets of my own, a rabbit, guinea pigs and a puppy. So, I am also well rounded in exotic animal care as well. I’ll have plenty of time to stop in to see your fur babies throughout the day, depending on how often you would prefer me to check on them. I usually do 3-4 times a day for potty breaks, feeding and play time. I will take your pups on lots of walks and entertain them with toys or a big park to play fetch! I will take many pictures for you and send updates. If needed, I can crate them if you’d like when I am not in the home with them.
“Andrew was the man! He really came thru and helped my wife and me on our wedding day when plans were forced to change last minute. He drove our dogs from our venue back to our Airbnb and stayed with them till the end of the wedding. He sent pictures of our fur babies throughout the night which really put us at ease. He even came to meet the pups the day before so it would be easier on them. Would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of a pet sitter in the greater Kissimmee area. Thanks again Andrew!”

Communication with the pet’s parents will be prioritized.
“Maritza is a fur baby parent’s dream!! Her communication, professionalism, and planning is above and beyond!! Her caring for our Happy was more than we could ever hoped for! She made sure that both myself and our Happy felt both love and comforted while being apart. Again, I cannot recommend a better sitter for your fur baby.”
“My husband surprised me with a 3-day beach hotel trip for us, which was so sweet. He said his dad would come by in the morning and afternoon to check on our dogs, but honestly I wasn’t comfortable with that, so I said no.I was lowkey stressing and almost canceling the whole trip when I decided to download an app and look for a pet sitter. That’s when Amanda replied super fast and we got everything set up.She was amazing with my dogs!! She kept sending me videos and pictures, which made me feel so at ease. When we got back, the house was exactly how I left it.Because of her, I was actually able to relax and enjoy the trip!! We’re definitely booking her again for our next trips 💛”
“Victoria was an amazing pet sitter. My dogs loved her! She sent me pics and updates while we were away. We will definitely use her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur babies.”

“Kathy kept our 2 dogs for the day during our visit to LEGOLAND. She is a very nice person and her house is so warming. She is obviously an experienced dog keeper. Sent us pics during the day of the dogs which was very appreciated. We spent our day with no stress. Thank you !”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats since I was small. From Pitbulls to Chihuahua, I make sure every pet feels content and happy at home. I'm currently available 24/7 for boarding overnight or daycare, no problem. Depending on the location, I am also able to house sit with your fur babies and provide daily walks within your neighborhood. I live in a peaceful neighborhood where I and many others can walk dogs without issue. I am very alert of feeding times and bathroom breaks. In another's home, I make sure to be respectful of boundaries and given instructions while I am caring for my client's fur babies.
About: Since the age of 5 I have loved our furry friends, the joy we get when they see us after a long day at work never gets old. I currently work from home with a lot of time on my hands. Along with my wife we both do work from home. We wake up 8:30 I go downstairs walk the fur babies & feed them then get ready for work. Then we get our 30 min break time and we use it to let the pets go outside. All pets must be friendly they have their own happy and protected space inside the house with great camera super vision. Our fur babies get treated like king and queens.

“Sophie was amazing with our Milo. She was very attentive. She paid special attention to him took the time to walk him and Milo took to her incredibly well. She is a wonderful sitter. I’d recommend her to anyone. Thank you Sophie. Great job. Yay we love you.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet as if they were my own. I have hands on experience with puppies, including basic training like potty routines, leash manners, and crate comfort. I’m also very patient and gentle with senior pets, making sure they stay comfortable, stick to their routines, and get any extra care they need. I pay close attention to behavior, so I can quickly pick up on stress, illness, or changes in mood. You’ll also get consistent updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in a safe, loving environment. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in.

I keep a structured routine to make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure, especially when they’re away from their owner. Throughout the day, I check in on them regularly and make time for one on one interaction, not just basic care. I treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I stick to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and relaxed, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I take time to bond with them so they don’t feel alone while you’re away. You’ll get updates and pictures, so you can feel connected and at ease.
“Brenda stayed with my German Shepherd and 18 year old cat over the weekend and it went better than I could have expected. My German shepherd, Zeus, can be very picky and after a failed attempt at a different sitter I wasn’t sure we’d find a good fit. Zeus took to Brenda with ease and put any worries that I had to rest so I could have a relaxing weekend and he could have a lot of fun. I think he was a little sad that I came home and not his new buddy! She also was able to take care of both Zeus and my cat’s medical needs. Definitely couldn’t recommend her more, Zeus definitely looks forward to her staying with him again.”

This is the 3rd time Andrew has cared for our babies. I can not say enough good about him. He is so caring, and loves our dudes as much as we do. He send pictures of them throughout the day and updates on what they are doing. I feel 100% comfortable with Andrew caring for my very spoiled boys. I would recommend him 100% ..10 star sitter for sure. Bonus.. house is more clean when we return than when we left !
Richard was GREAT! We have a senior dog that can no longer be boarded. Having our two pets in their own home was such a comfort. Richard kept them on schedule and we returned to happy, healthy pups! He provided daily updates with photos and candid captions. It gave us peace of mind to know our pups were having a good time and getting treated well.
Jess has been our dog/house sitter since last year, and we are so happy to have found her. She is fantastic. This last trip we thought she might not be available, but she adjusted her schedule and made it work, which we truly appreciated. The photos and videos she sends show just how much she loves our baby. She always leaves our home spotless, and we feel so grateful to have such a kind and reliable sitter. 12 out of 10, would absolutely recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - Poinciana
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Poinciana on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,433 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Poinciana. 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 Poinciana 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 Poinciana 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 Poinciana 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Poinciana. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
