“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.”


“Raajignacio took such great care of our dog! He handled his medication and feeding perfectly, even though it wasn’t always easy. He walked him, cared for him just as we would, and even took him along when he needed to be away from the house for a little longer. We’re very happy with the care he provided this weekend and would definitely trust him to watch our dog again!”

“Nancy was outstanding and very good at giving me updates as she was watching Bailey. She sent pictures and videos to let me know how Bailey was doing. She also had to deal with an emergency water situation at my house and did an incredible job. My sincere thanks and appreciation to Nancy.”


“Mia was so wonderful with our two dogs while staying down in Orlando for vacation. Mia was very responsive and flexible and both dogs loved her so much by the time we left to drive back home. I have two dachshunds with separation anxiety that cannot be left alone. We contacted Mia for her services to stay with them so we were able to go out. We used Mia three times during the week and she took such good care of the girls! We will definitely be contacting Mia for her services next time we are down for a visit!”

About: Hi! My name is Carolina, I'm a medical student finishing up my clinical years. I have 17yrs+ of experience taking care of dogs of all ages, cats, birds, and bunnies. I look forward to caring for your pet! I mainly take care of animals in the Melbourne/Palm Bay/ Brevard area, but I travel for holidays to Orlando! If you are looking for a pet sitter for holidays in Orlando, I would love to talk more! When I'm not at work, I spend most of my time studying, so I'd be home with your pet! I enjoy taking study breaks by taking your pet for walks or just playing with them :) When providing care for your pet, I can stay at your house to ensure they are in the environment they feel most comfortable in. I also like to provide updates on your pet, as many as you'd like. Additionally, I make a list of activities and duties expected from me. In my experience, this has provided the best outcome for the pet, the owner, and me!
“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!”

“Emily was awesome! She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were comfortable. She is very attentive and kept them on their normal routine. Our flight was delayed returning home and Emily stayed longer to make sure the dogs weren’t left alone longer than expected. Highly recommend!”


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.
“Alicia is THE BEST! My doggie can be very picky and afraid and Alicia made this easy for me (1st time Rover user). If you are hesitant at all about trying Rover out- don’t be. The experience couldn’t have been better. Alicia made time to let us meet her before we left for the week, she took pictures of our doggie while we were away, gave her meds, and was so patient with not just Reefie- but her doggy mom, me! She also left a little gift bag and sanitized before we got home. Alicia, thank you so much for everything. ?????”

About: I’m a dedicated cat person with four years of experience caring for my own cats. I understand how unique each cat’s personality can be — from playful and social to shy and independent. I provide calm, attentive drop-in care that prioritizes your cat’s comfort and routine. Whether that’s feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, or simply being present with them to help them feel safe, I respect what your cat needs. I’ve also helped neighbors with dog walks, and would be excited to walk more doggies. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who understands their world. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own 😊 I currently work from home. Most of my availability will be in the afternoon or evening. If you’re close, I may be available in the morning. I take walks, 1-2x a day, and would love to have a furry companion to walk with. Safety and comfort of your pet is top priority. Additionally, I treat your space with high standards and respect. I work to follow instructions diligently. I am known to create a grounding, calm environment and aim to bring that to each visit with your baby.
About: I have five dogs myself. They’re all well trained and friendly with other animals! I live on a large farm with plenty of space for dogs to run. I trained two of my dogs a few tricks each as well as potty trained them I work about four hours a day outside of my home. I always take care of my dogs before and after work. I have family let them out to pee and eat while I’m at work. I spend the evenings playing indoor with them My dogs have a large kennel inside that they sleep in at night. I have hosted dogs before and they sleep in my garage. It’s a warm area year round and if not then they will sleep inside in a separate kennel. I have orchards next to my house so your dogs will be taken on walks throughout them! Two of my dogs spend most of the day outside (depending on the weather).
“Kristina is awesome!! I have used her several times and my dogs love her. I can leave them knowing they are in great hands. They are never stressed when I return. Kristina sends several pictures a day saying everything is good. She is great at communicating. Highly recommend her services.”

“Ava is fantastic! She sat our house and Cane Corso (no easy feat as he can be very intimidating for most people). She gave us daily pics of our babies while we were away and we came home to a very happy dog and cat. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone. She is very responsible and someone you can trust.”

About: I have loved and cared for pets for 30 years. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I treat every pet like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending plenty of time with the pets in my care. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, companionship, and regular attention throughout the day. I understand that every pet has a different routine, and I am happy to follow their usual schedule so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a private home with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, play, and explore. Before their stay, I ask pet parents about their dog’s routine, personality, favorite activities, food, treats, and anything they may not like. If medications are needed, I ask that they be clearly labeled with the pet’s name and instructions so I can give them safely and on schedule. I also want to know about any allergies, special needs, or important habits. I follow each pet’s routine carefully and give them plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their family is away.

Amber is the best pet sitter by far! She cared for our dog and cat and stayed at our house spending quality time with them. They both loved Amber and didn’t have any anxiety about us being gone for a few days. Amber is very polite, respectful of us and our home, is professional, takes care of your fur babies and makes everyone feel good and safe. We will definitely use her services again. She is a true blessing!

Tanisha stayed in our home while we went on vacation and she took great care of our pets! This is not the first time we have used her and it will not be our last. Tanisha is very kind, professional, attentive to our pets needs, respected our home and our pets love her!! I would highly recommend Tanisha to care for your pets! You will not be disappointed
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.
Nancy was outstanding and very good at giving me updates as she was watching Bailey. She sent pictures and videos to let me know how Bailey was doing. She also had to deal with an emergency water situation at my house and did an incredible job. My sincere thanks and appreciation to Nancy.

Jeileen was very kind and clearly cared about our dog. We loved that she included him in her daily life and even took him along to visit family — he came home happy and well socialized. The only reason for four stars instead of five is communication. There were a few times we had important questions about his medications and didn’t get any response, which was stressful. Overall a good experience, and with more consistent communication it would be great.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Southchase is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $66 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,035 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 , 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.
