About: I offer personalized, loving care for each pet, ensuring comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. I also keep owners regularly updated with photos and messages for complete peace of mind. My absolute priority is full fidelity to each owner’s instructions. I deeply understand that every pet has unique needs, temperaments, and habits, which is why I meticulously adapt my schedule and care according to what has been previously agreed upon. In this way, I ensure that each dog maintains their usual home routine, minimizing the stress of change and creating an environment of maximum trust where they feel safe, loved, and fully cared for, as if they were in their own home. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where every pet is supervised and cared for at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely to ensure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home. I treat every pet with love, patience, and respect, and keep owners updated with messages and photos.

About: Serving Lake Nona / East Orlando area / Downtown Orlando / Winter park / St. Cloud / Kissimmee Hello Dog/Cat Parents! My name is Elisa, and I’m a pre-vet biology student with a lifelong passion for animals and their care. Ever since I was younger, I’ve loved spending time with animals and began pet sitting and walking dogs for neighbors, which gave me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, caring for animals has become more than just a hobby for me, it’s something I truly love and hope to turn into my lifelong career. I also come from an equestrian background, where I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding animal behavior. Working around horses taught me how important trust and gentle care are, and I carry that same mindset into every pet I care for. A little bit about me, I have my own dog named Wrangler! He’s a very active, high-energy dog, so I’m very comfortable with energetic personalities, long walks, enrichment, and keeping dogs engaged both physically and mentally. We go on 3-mile walks and hikes daily, so whether your dog loves being active or prefers a slower, calmer pace, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I also understand reactive dogs, as my own dog has had reactivity challenges in the past, so I always approach pets with patience, awareness, and compassion. As a future equine veterinarian, animal health and safety are extremely important to me. I’m comfortable administering medications and making sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved and at home, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets P.S: Expect TONS of fun photos! My Pet Care Schedule * I’m available most early mornings early-late afternoons, which works well for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. * I am not available on Sundays or Tuesdays due to religious commitments. * I avoid scheduling walks between 11 AM–12 PM, especially in hot weather, to keep dogs safe from peak heat. * I’m flexible outside of those times and happy to work with each pet’s routine and needs. For example : 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, play, mental enrichment and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy + and comfortable while you're away. How I Care for Pets During House Drop-Ins & Dog Walking * I treat your home with respect, keeping everything clean, organized, and just as you left it, while making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar space. * I follow your pet’s normal routine. walks, meals, potty breaks, and rest so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. * I love incorporating enrichment into my visits, so I often bring a sniff mat and tailor activities to what your dog enjoys most. I pay attention to their personality and preferences so each visit feels engaging and meaningful for them. * I make an effort to really get to know your dog what they like, what motivates them, and what helps them feel happiest so I can adjust my care to fit them, not just a routine. * Treats and rewards are always personalized based on what your dog enjoys (because every good pup has opinions, and I respect them). * I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether they prefer a calm sniff and stroll or a more active outing. * My goal is to make each visit feel positive, enriching, and comforting for your pet, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re genuinely cared for.
“Jacqueline was so amazing to our pups. We hired her last minute because we just moved here without dog sitting resources. She communicates efficiently and has a lot of experience with dog watching. She knew how to make the dogs comfortable with her presence when meeting. She spent a lot of time with them and they were always wagging their tails in the pictures. We are very happy to have found her - and with pretty much no notice. It was just what we needed as helicopter dog parents. We forgot the ease of having others watch our pups or dropping them off short notice when we traveled. We found Jackie to be that same reliable source for us.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and my experience goes far beyond just cats and dogs! I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals, including pigs, chickens, turtles, and even my own pet hedgehog. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe every pet deserves the same love, respect, patience, and care that I would give my own. 🐾❤️ I have experience pet sitting for friends and family and absolutely love getting to meet new fur babies and their unique personalities. The people who have trusted me with their pets can all vouch for the care and attention I’ve given them while they enjoyed their time away. I understand that trusting someone with a member of your family is a huge responsibility, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m able to check in on your pets multiple times throughout the day, depending on their needs, and I’ll make sure they receive their meals, playtime, attention, and anything else they need to feel safe and comfortable. Communication is also very important to me. As a pet owner myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive pictures and updates while you’re away, so I’ll make sure you’re kept in the loop and know how your babies are doing. I also have experience administering medications to animals, including my own dogs and hedgehog, and will carefully follow any instructions you provide. Whether your pet has four legs, feathers, scales, or quills, I’ll give them the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your animals are safe, happy, and in caring hands. ❤️🐶🐱🐹🐢🐔 My current work schedule is very accommodating to taking care of animals! I will be able to check in a few times a day, making sure they have what they need. They will receive lots of love and the owners will get plenty of check-ins with their fur babies as well! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I make sure every day they have fresh water, they’re fed on time and that they remain safe while outside in their fenced in backyard. My cats are indoor, so I have tons of experience making sure the cats remain indoors as well! All my fur babies are well loved and taken care of!
“Abigail helped me on short notice in an emergency situation and was able to take over care when another sitter didn’t show. She did an incredible job giving updates, following care instructions, and loving on the cats. She left the home better than she found it and her deep care for animals is evident in both her words and her actions!”
“Amanda did such an amazing job taking care of our home and two dogs! She was kind, professional, and left our home spotless. She updated us throughout her stay and our dogs had an enjoyable time with her (even our pup who is more reserved). We would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years so I have experience of taking care of dogs and cats and being very observant with their behaviors and pointing out if they are feeling sick. I am good with giving medications and I am available to drive them to vet if needed and also dog parks or grooming. I myself have 3 dogs and 3 cats so I am confident with my ability to make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved with me. I’m currently working part-time and also am a part time student so I would be able to spend a love of time with your babies. Especially during the weekends since I wouldn’t be working at all. I am only offering services to where I come to your living space. I can assure that I am very respectful of where you reside.
“Lindsey was wonderful and an absolute PRO! Had a lovely meet & greet and received plenty of pictures of my fur baby during our time away. Very confident that our dog was well cared for and received lots of attention while we were gone. Would definitely recommend and hope to use her again in the near future!”

Elizabeth was amazing with Jeter. She understands dogs so well & truly listens and follows to your every need for your animal. Our Jeter is pretty chill so they hung out all day and snuggled which he loves the most. She sent frequent photo/message updates which I truly loved. Can’t wait to have her stay with Jeter again and I highly recommend her!
Christa stayed with our animals overnight, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. We have two dogs, Manson and Dexter, along with our bunnies, so finding someone we completely trust with all of them is really important to us. Christa was hands down one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. What impressed us the most was how comfortable our dogs were with her, especially Dexter. He can be particular about people and doesn’t always completely relax around someone new, but I have honestly never seen him so calm and comfortable with someone. Seeing how he was with Christa immediately put us at ease. She kept us updated, took great care of everyone, and we came home to happy, relaxed animals. It was obvious that she actually spent time with them and made sure they were comfortable rather than just doing the basics and calling it a night. She was also great with the bunnies and made sure everyone was taken care of exactly how we asked. It’s not easy leaving your animals with someone, especially when they all have their own personalities and routines, but we felt completely comfortable with Christa. We will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their pets.
We couldn’t recommend Jean more highly. She consistently goes above and beyond in every way, and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing our sweet beagle—and our home—are in her care. She’s incredibly professional and reliable, always communicating proactively and keeping us updated with thoughtful check-ins and photos. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does—her passion for caring for animals shines through in every interaction. Beyond just meeting expectations, she anticipates needs, handles every situation with care and attention to detail, and treats our home with the utmost respect. Trusting someone with both your pet and your home is no small thing, and she has earned that trust completely. We feel so lucky to have found her and can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate, and dependable pet care.
Kimberley and Josh were amazing and I would highly recommend them! I have a very shy dog that is very nervous around new people and they were extremely patient with him and they gained his trust. I rarely leave him and was nervous but I felt confident and at ease knowing that he was in great hands! I'm so grateful to have found them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Cloud on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,939 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Cloud. 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 Saint Cloud 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 Saint Cloud 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 Saint Cloud 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 Saint Cloud. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
