“Natalie took great care of our little Morkie, Simba. Seeing all of the pictures and videos definitely gave us peace of mind that he felt loved and cared for.”
“Stop your search—Susan is the best dog sitter in Orlando & Kissimmee, hands down. During our stay at Margaritaville Resort, she transformed what’s usually a nerve-wracking experience for our two sensitive Italian Greyhounds into a stress-free, joyful week. From the first meeting, Susan’s warmth and expertise put our pups at ease in a way no sitter has before. Susan’s care goes far beyond the basics. She took the time to understand our dogs’ unique needs and provided thoughtful touches, like calming techniques and even the occasional therapeutic massage. Each day, we came back from Orlando’s attractions to find our dogs calm, happy, and visibly at peace—not the anxious pups we’ve come to expect after a sitter’s shift. If you’re staying in the Orlando area and want top-tier care for your pets, don’t miss out on Susan. She’s more than a sitter—she’s a trusted caregiver who will leave your pets as smitten with her as we are. Book her—you’ll thank yourself later!”
“Tanisha was fantastic house sitting. Despite some initial challenges with our temperamental feline, she was professional and made us completely comfortable. We hope to have her work with us again soon!”
“Ana was phenomenal with Jeter. She listened and understood what our needs were for him. She was so sweet and she sent me photos throughout the day and communicated very well! Jeter loved her as well. We already booked her for a future date!”
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet sitter who truly loves animals. I treat every pet like my own and always take the time to understand their routine, personality, and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive—whether your pet is playful, shy, or just needs extra comfort. From walks and feeding to playtime and cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I make sure pets are never rushed and always receive the time, love, and supervision they deserve.

I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving and reliable hands.
“We have had Mia stay twice with our pups, and we always know they will be loved and cared for. We do communicate much better in person or by phone, rather than with my typical (overly-lengthy!) notes, but she is wonderful about reaching out with questions and making sure the doggies are taken care of. She is also so patient and good with Queen, our nervous dog. Thanks Mia!”
“Mariah is amazing and so attentive to detail! My pup can be nervous and shy with unfamiliar people, but Mariah did a great job helping her warm up to her. She is very responsive and great to work with 💜”
“Juli is the best! She writes beautiful diaries about my Lui and Maple’s day. You can see she takes great pride in her work. She also takes amazing pictures and videos. I’m really grateful for her.”
“Nancy was an angel to our Pumi ! She went above and beyond while taking care of our pup during the two days we were in Orlando. She was extremely reassuring throughout the booking process and super adjusting to our needs and requirements. She took many cute pics of Pumi to update us throughout the day, she made sure Pumi ate well and went on many walks and was so sweet to Pumi, giving her lots of love and cuddles. We could tell the two of them became best friends !”
“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”
“Recommend! Kristina sent photos of the dogs often as requested. The dogs loved her! The house was clean and tidy when we arrived home. Thank you for taking care of our babies while we were away.”
“Naturally I was so nervous leaving Harlow with someone new but Staycee made me feel so at ease. She was flexible and accommodating. She sent daily updates with pictures. The house was left exactly how I left it. She’s amazing, would definitely recommend!”
“Jessica was very kind to my Mati. She text me back within seconds of me texting her. Mati is a puppy and sometimes can be a handful and Jessica was very good with her. I was nervous to leave a stranger in my apartment and leave my puppy for the first time but she made me feel calm and like everything would be okay.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southchase
We're new to the area and had to find a new sitter for our fur babies. We are so fortunate we came across Amber! She made the whole process and experience from the meet and greet to housesitting so effortless. I was really at ease knowing the boys were in great hands and the house was taken care of while we were away. When we returned, the house was in order and the boys were in good shape and so happy. Amber went above and beyond and is a true gem! We are so grateful and know we can count on her when we book with her again in the near future!
Cynthia was incredible! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos of our girl. This was the first time we have left our baby girl since the death of our other fur baby, Dexter, in December, so we were really nervous leaving her. Cynthia eased all of our nerves by spoiling our girl rotten, which I personally believe every dog deserves. Thank you, Cynthia, for loving on our fur baby so well. Will definitely be using Cynthia on a regular basis for doggy sitting.
Kii was an absolutely amazing pet sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for better care for our two large-breed dogs while we were out of the country. Traveling during the holidays can be stressful, but Kii went above and beyond — even offering to stay longer in case our return flight was delayed, which gave us incredible peace of mind. She checked in twice daily with the sweetest photo updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy, relaxed, and completely in love with her. They quickly appointed themselves her furry “secretaries,” happily keeping her company while she worked from our home. We came back to two very content pups and felt completely confident they were safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. We would 100% trust Kii again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful pet sitter.
Maria is such a gem. From the moment we met her, we felt at ease. She stayed with Ellie from Friday to Sunday. We have never left our puppy with anyone but family before and were really nervous about leaving her with someone we never met. A week before our scheduled time, Maria, texted to confirm the time and two days before as well. The day of, she was on time and took Ellie for a little walk right away. I left her a list of details so that she felt more comfortable with Ellie’s daily routine. She made us feel really comfortable throughout the weekend because she kept in touch and sent us several follow up photos of our sweet puppy. If she left the house she was very communicative with us. On her last day, she let is know the time she was leaving, which I really appreciated. When we got home, the house was super organized and clean. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a house/dog sitter. Ellie means the world to us and we felt super comfortable and at ease during our trip. I will be calling Maria every time we need a sitter for our sweet girl! Thank you Maria for taking such good care of Ellie and taking care of our home. You make us feel so secure and at ease! Ellie will be super excited to spend snuggle time with you in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Southchase
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Southchase on Rover is $49.95 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 3,019 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Southchase. 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 Southchase 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 Southchase 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 Southchase 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.

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.
