About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens who need extra patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require a gentler approach, medication reminders, and additional comfort. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet's routine to help reduce stress. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm companion, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends when needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. I make it a priority to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I truly enjoy, and I'm committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions from their owner. In a client's home, I respect their space while keeping pets on their normal routine to reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and affection, and I'm happy to send regular photo and video updates so owners know their pets are doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where they receive lots of love, supervision, playtime, and rest. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and always strive to make them feel right at home.

About: Serving Lake Nona / East Orlando area / Downtown Orlando / Winter park / St. Cloud / Kissimmee Hello Pet 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. I also have 2 birds that I’ve had since I was just 9 years old! Having two birds of my own has given me hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and boundaries. I understand that some birds can be bitey, nervous, or uncomfortable around new people, and I know how important it is to respect their space and build trust rather than forcing interaction. For shy or less social birds, I am comfortable stopping by to provide fresh food and water, clean their area, offer enrichment, and make sure they are safe and comfortable while respecting their boundaries. 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 work part-time too! So make sure to consult with me so we can work around my schedule. I am free early mornings and late afternoons during those days. * I avoid scheduling walks between 11 AM– 3PM, 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.

About: I’ve been a pet parent for 14 years and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dog, Petey, has been part of my family for 14 years, and he’s still thriving! So I also understand the extra patience, attention, and care that senior pets may need. I’ve also been a cat parent to my sweet girl Chloe since 2016. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’m dependable, attentive, and loving, and I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. ❤️ I work remotely, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for scheduled walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the week. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly before accepting a booking so you can feel confident your pet will receive the time and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll carefully follow the routine and instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any household or safety instructions. I’ll respect your home and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates during each visit so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’m an animal advocate (which is a fancy way of saying I’m constantly looking for excuses to bring another animal home) lol. If there’s a rescue in need, I’m already emotionally involved…and probably trying to figure out how to fit one more into my house👀. I’m a loving, caring person who genuinely enjoys taking care of the people I love. My pets are not “pets” in this house, they are my beloved babies, and yes…they absolutely know it!!!💖 English&Spanish. Taking care of my dogs is an important part of my daily routine. Their health and well-being are a top priority for me, so I make sure they receive proper care, attention, exercise, and plenty of love every day. I truly believe that keeping our pets healthy and happy is one of the most important responsibilities we have as pet parents. I have a spacious yard where pets can exercise, play, and enjoy some outdoor time throughout the day. At the same time, I completely respect their individual routines and preferences. If they feel more comfortable relaxing or staying in their kennel, they are absolutely welcome to do so. I like to let pets settle into the environment at their own pace and give them the freedom to choose where they feel most comfortable.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals, and I currently have a dog of my own. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, parrots, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. I know how important patience, routine, and a calm environment are to helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, caring, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel relaxed while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention and that their usual routine is followed as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while they’re in my care.

I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and take the time to understand every pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I provide a calm and loving environment and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

George is our go-to guy when his schedule permits. We live in a tight community and just returned from an extended vacation and used George as a drop-in sitter while gone. Our neighbors are also nosey spies for each other and commented on how George was always punctual and pleasant during his dog walks. His timely pics and notifications helped reduce our stress while gone. On top of that-a good guy.

About: Hello there! I know my name may be tough to pronounce.. but you can call me Rennie! When I was 8 years old, my dream was to have at least 10 dogs receiving me when coming back home from school in Puerto Rico. My dream came true when I was 13 years old. I had 14 lovely dogs to love every day! 3 of them were rescued. I provided them shelter, food, basic medical care, and lots of love. I have years of experience with dogs, rabbits, and other pets. I will be forever an animal lover ready to provide professional, respectful and the lovely care your pet deserves. No time to bring your dog to me? No problem. We offer pick-up every day from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. We serve Orlando, Kissimmee, and St. Cloud area. I will make sure your pet feels at home according to her/his needs. Please let me know if your baby is not crate trained or has separation anxiety. Kindly note I love to treat your baby as if it was mine and the more I know, the better.

About: I have multiple years of experience with both housesitting and babysitting, which has helped me know how important it is to stick to feeding schedules, keep spaces tidy, and provide consistent care and companionship. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, so I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and responsible, and I always make sure to follow instructions carefully so your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. Excited to meet your pup! I’ll come to you at your house, resort, rental, etc. and make sure your pet is comfortable, entertained, fed, watered, and gets adequate potty breaks. I provide attentive in-home pet care, maintaining routines, feeding schedules, exercise, and medications as needed! Your pet will be comfortable and safe in a familiar environment while you’re away. Important Notes: -I do not transport your pet in my personal vehicle -I do not board your pet in my home -I do not take your pet off-leash when outdoors at any point, nor purposefully bring them into environments with potentially unfamiliar dogs (like dog parks) These terms are for both my own safety and the safety of your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Saint Cloud on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,073 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Cloud. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saint Cloud stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Cloud. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
