Carli took great care of our menagerie while we were away. Our two big dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. By the end of her stay the cats even started to come out for pets, which is no easy feat.

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Linda for the second time! Once again, she exceeded my expectations while taking care of my fur-babies. Linda is incredibly attentive and truly understands my dog's needs. She provided regular updates, shared cute photos and videos that made my time away so much easier. It was clear that my dog felt comfortable and happy, which is all I could ask for. Her dedication to ensuring my fur-baby was well cared for means the world to me. I can't recommend Linda enough! I have already booked her two more times.

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

About: I’ve always loved animals, exactly the reason I’m a chicken father of 4. I enjoy taking care of my animals to the best of my abilities, so I figured I could extend the love and quality care I give to my animals to yours. I know it can be a challenge to find a pet sitter or walker that’s right for you. And even more difficult to find one you can trust with your four legged loved ones. If you ask my chickens, they’d say go with me (maybe just to overthrow my house but they do still agree I’m your guy). I’m capable of caring for dogs, puppies, senior dogs, most reptiles, hermit crabs, rodents, and cats. If your loved one has any special needs I’m more than happy to fulfill them. As of right now I’m free almost every day. Whether it be morning, noon, night, or for multiple days I have plenty availability for your little guys. I care for your pets, so if there’s anything in particular you wouldn’t want your animal doing just let me know! Other than that I ensure your bundle of joy is safe at all times.

Jennifer is the BEST. Our Miss Betty is our pride & joy so leaving her while we go away isn’t easy. When we left her with Jennifer we felt very comfortable and didn’t worry at all. She was very attentive and followed all the directions we left.

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.

Sarah watched our 2.5yr old Golden Retriever, Blitz, over this last weekend and she was GREAT! She is very in tune with Blitz and we always feel comfortable going away knowing he is in good hands with Sarah. She has watched Blitz before and is always very good about giving us updates with lots of pictures and videos which we really appreciate. We highly recommend Sarah for your next dog sitter! Your loved one will be in the best of hands.

Hailey was so awesome! She treated our puppy like she was her own, and even taught her tricks and gave her special treats. Our dog was in great spirits and better behaved when we got back from our trip than when we left. Hailey even brought in our mail, took out our garbage, and fed our fish. It was so wonderful. We would have Hailey back anytime, and I’m sure our pup would love to see her. Thank you so much, Hailey!

What's Included: • Daily structured training sessions covering your specific goals. • Intensive behavior modification and management (separation anxiety, house rules, manners). • Daily video progress reports and a comprehensive hand-off workshop. 💎 Every immersive stay is completely tailored to your behavior goals and includes a complimentary hand-off training lesson at conclusion of stay.

I participate in local events, fundraising and Hound Around Town monthly. I have since expanded my efforts with Husky Haven of Florida as a transport for rescues. I’ve worked at Disney’s pet resort & dog daycare in downtown Orlando. 💯 My base rate listed on my profile covers standard, high-quality care (feeding, potty breaks, and companionship). Since I am a certified dog trainer, the context described above is offered as an active Training Add-On Package for an extra $15 per day. Just be sure to brief me in your contact message and we can discuss together further in detail. With dog training as my core, and having an Executive Assistant professional background of over 20 years, calendar maintenance comes natural and my availability is easily workable around varying schedules. If I’m not at the dog park or training, I can be available for services as necessary. I focus on science-backed methods that are mindful and effective, while integrating enrichment, affection, stimulation (both mentally and physically), rest breaks, sniffy walks, play time and cuddles. I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Zellwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Zellwood on Rover is $72.76 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 3,015 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zellwood. 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 Zellwood 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 Zellwood 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 Zellwood 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 Zellwood. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
