“Brenda and Dwain were INCREDIBLE! We left for a week long trip and I was so nervous about making sure our babies were okay. From the start Brenda and Dwain were very present and attentive to the animals and wanted to make sure they followed their routine to a T. Our dogs eat homemade food and they stayed active with making their food through the week, as well as stayed consistent with their daily walks. One of our dogs was having a hot spot issue when we left, but they stayed on top of treating it with the medicine we left and when we got home his hot spot was almost completely gone! They sent updates and pictures multiple times a day which made me feel so much better! They even took the time to write little “stories” about the day which were so fun to read! We didn’t have to worry at all on our trip because we knew they were all well taken care of. When we got home, our house was clean and virtually untouched and all the animals were happy and healthy! I couldn’t recommend Brenda and Dwain enough! If you want a family that will treat your animals and your home like their own while you are away, book them!! Thank you guys so much!”
“She watched our dog and bird for us. She would actually stay in our home since we worked out of town during the week and she was fantastic. Took great care of our pets and our home.”
“Sophia was excellent from our initial contact through until she left after completing the job. We received updates and photos throughout her time with Coleman. She was prompt, polite, and just the caregiver our boy needed for the night. Will not hesitate to call her again!”

Currently I can not work from home. Im interested in Long-term or ongoing care and any thing else! I have 1 furry friend currently, one passed away of old age at 17 years and required a lot of attention. I cared for his wounds, giving medication, etc. I have one other who will be 16. As an expierenced dog owner, I give my dogs their medications as needed, follow special dieting and so forth. I pay PLENTY attention to them as well. I have expierence of taking care of dogs of ANY age being Ive had these two since pups. I used to dog sit up North in New Jersey area and I absolutely loved it!

“Evelyn watched our Faith while we were gone. We were very pleased with her attention to her and being able to stay with her overnight. Faith is very used to having someone around her 24/7, since we work from home. Knowing that Evelyn was going to be there made out trip more pleasant. She had wonderful extensive knowledge of dogs, this made us very comfortable.”
“Jennifer had a challenging sit with our cat and dog. We were gone for 8-9 days. She stayed with them and took on the challenges of our geriatric cat and reactive dog. She came to visit several times before our trip. It was important to her that things go well. Within several days, our dog was sleeping with her. She has a calm, kind, and trustworthy aura. Leaving our animals was going to be very stressful, but it wasn’t. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our pets were being taken well care of. Would and probably will use her again. Thank you so very much Jen.”
“Ayana was with the dogs the majority of the time of the 4 day sit She took very good care of my pug and lab mix She left the house in great condition She had great communication with me during our time away I recommend her without reservation”
“Marisa and her son were absolutely amazing. They met all my expectations and needs watching over my babies while I was gone for my anniversary trip. I especially loved that she kept contact and let me know how the cats were doing with pictures included (kept me at ease, especially since I'm an anxious pet parent). I appreciate her dedication, communication, and passion for animals and especially meeting our needs. Thank you!!”
About: Does your pup need space to run and play? I have a fenced 2-acre lot where your dog can have plenty of fun. I’ve always loved animals and grew up with dogs. I have two dogs of my own, Red and Luna! While your furry friend is here, they’ll also be loved and cared for by my daughter, husband, and mom I am a Quality Engineer and currently work from home full-time, as does my husband. Since we’re both home during the day, we’re able to take breaks as needed to give your furry friend plenty of attention and care. They’re even welcome to hang out with us in our workspace! When caring for your furry friend, I’ll be available to take them out as often as needed. I can handle feeding, provide fresh water, and give treats as well. My home sits on a 2-acre lot, so there’s plenty of space for running around! I also have tracking devices for the dogs just in case they were to get out by any chance.
“Her sister, Izabella came and watched Achilles for a few hours while we went to a Christmas party. I was very pleased with her attentiveness. She loved on him, took him out for a bit and kept me informed! .Thank you so much. I will definitely use her again!”
“Linda is incredible! This was our first experience using Rover and having Linda stay at our house to watch our three dogs for a week. Linda is kind and responsible. I felt at ease after meeting her. She communicated and sent pictures daily. We came home to a very clean home and three happy puppies. Linda went above and beyond what we expected. This was 100% better than boarding. I feel like Linda is part of our family and will definitely be a return customer.”

“Phoebe is calm and relaxed, which is perfect energy around my dogs, one who is old and one who is young. She spent several hours at my house, and I came home to a very happy household. I have already rebooked her for this week.”
“Noelle was fantastic with our babies! We will definitely reach out to her again for our next weekend getaway! She was attentive to their needs, patient with our pug's disability, cognizant of their comfort throughout the weekend, and kept them on their schedule/routine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Zellwood
Brandi was absolutely amazing with our cat and dog during a two week trip. She stayed with them while we were away and took the best care of them. I was really anxious to leave for so long, as they’ve always had a hard time when we’re gone. Brandi sent pictures and communicated every day and made me feel so much better about being away. She managed everything here just as I would have. We returned to an immaculate house and happy, relaxed pets. They seemed unbothered that we had been gone, and it was clear that she had been really great with them. I’m looking forward to using Brandi’s services for our little guys anytime we’re away in the future. Truly a great experience!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 3,044 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.

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.
