“Susan was awesome! Leaving your pets with someone that you don’t really know is not an easy thing, but Susan was great from end to end. Booking was smooth, she prompted answer all our questions (including meeting us before booking). While she stayed with our 2 dogs and 1 bird, she kept us on the loop by sending daily pictures. Overall it was an wonderful experience and we are not going to hesitate before booking her again. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Mariah was wonderful! She took great care of our two Basenjis and sent us several photos showing how content they were. We were a last minute booking and she was so very accommodating. We highly recommend Mariah!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We love that Mia was willing to sit with our pups while we were at Magic Kingdom for the day. It was comforting to know our littles were loved and had a warm lap to sit on while we were away. We asked Mia to sit with our pups last year too. Mia is very friendly and loving towards our littles.”
“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: Hi! My name is Esmeralda, and I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From Chihuahuas and Golden Retrievers to Pit Bulls and everything in between, I've had the privilege of raising and caring for dogs throughout every stage of life. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know their unique personality and needs. Before joining Rover, I regularly provided dog sitting and drop-in visits for family members and members of my church community while living in Puerto Rico. Those and my personal experiences taught me the importance of being dependable, attentive, and treating every pet with the same love and respect I'd want for my own. What sets me apart is that I don't believe in "just watching" your pet—I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and give them the attention they deserve, whether that's playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping them company. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. As a dog mom myself, I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is for both you and your pet to have a stress-free experience, with regular updates and plenty of love every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work a part-time remote job, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. As a dog owner myself, I'm already used to feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets receive lots of love and care throughout the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. Daily Pet Care Schedule 8:00 AM – Morning Routine Morning potty break/walk Fresh water refill Breakfast feeding Morning playtime and attention 12:00 PM – Midday Check-In Potty break Short walk or play session Fresh water check Extra attention and companionship 4:00 PM – Afternoon Activity Walk or outdoor time Playtime and enrichment activities Check on comfort and needs 6:00 PM – Dinner Time Evening meal Fresh water refill Relaxation and affection 8:00–9:00 PM – Evening Routine Final potty break/walk Calm playtime or cuddles Ensure pets are comfortable before bedtime I understand every pet has their own routine, so I’m always happy to adjust feeding, walking, and care schedules based on each owner’s instructions and their pet’s individual needs. In my client's home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable staying in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while keeping owners updated,whether thats through videos or pictures, so they have peace of mind and show how their ppets well being. Every pet is treated like family and cared for with the same love and patience I give my own.
“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!”
About: Hands on experience caring for animals I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of animals from large to small. I am retired and I do Uber on the side. I have very flexible hours and I’m available from dog walking, spending time with your animals to staying with them in your home to house sitting. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal is different, and I will take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs that they may have. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, quiet, companionship, medication or extra patience, I provide loving a attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pets is to feel completely comfortable, knowing they’re in experienced, caring and trustworthy hands.
“Staycee did a fantastic job house sitting and watching Loki during my recent work trip. She followed the provided care schedule, shared frequent updates with photos of Loki, and took time to make sure he was genuinely cared for and comfortable. Not only that, but the house was left very clean and well cared for. Would absolutely love to work with Staycee again and highly recommend her to all looking for an Orlando-based dog sitter!”
“Omg Danii was AMAZING! She was so kind and loving to our dogs and our dogs loved her from the beginning. She kept in touch with us and was quick to respond to messages, she sent pictures and updates, and kept our dogs happy and healthy. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nancy is great! She was available very last minute and was super understanding during absolutely everything. Our dogs definitely weren’t the easiest and Nancy was always there when they needed her. She’s also very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs, their personalities, behaviors, etc. which is so helpful. She also made sure to send plenty of pictures and videos! We will reach out to Nancy again.”
“We were able to fully enjoy our two-week vacation without a single worry, all thanks to Nick. He took such great care of Winston and gave us the peace of mind we were hoping for. It meant so much to have someone we could completely trust—not just with our dog, but in our home as well. We truly got the best of both worlds with Nick. Thank you for treating Winston like your own and for being so respectful of our home. We’re incredibly grateful!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She’s so sweet, and Bingo and Chloe adored her. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have a Lab/Pitbull mix of my own. Growing up, my family had 4 dogs and 5 cats, so I’ve always been comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience pet sitting through Wag, word-of-mouth referrals, and local Facebook groups, including drop-ins, walks, and staying with pets in their homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, treats, giving plenty of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Pet sitting is currently my main job, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and longer stays, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and schedule. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I pay close attention to routines, energy levels, and behavior to make sure each pet feels secure and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I make sure they receive lots of love and attention while in my care.
“Emily was great!! We booked her to watch our dog while we were in Florida visiting our family and Disney. She was great with communicating and sending photos throughout the day. Pepper really enjoyed her walk and play time while Emily was watching her! Highly recommended!!”

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
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Southchase on Rover is $49.95 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 3,052 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southchase. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
