“Caroline is amazing! She took exceptional care of Biggie, she communicated to make sure I didn’t have a single worry, and she helped me out in a last minute pinch! I highly recommend her services!”
“Carrie is amazing. She took care of our old English sheepdog with so much love and attention. Her communication was constant and she followed our instructions for caring for our dog perfectly. Definitely recommend!”
“Jennifer was such a blessing!!! My Labrador can be a bit much at times!!!!! She sent so many pictures and videos. When I got home my dog was in good spirits! Actually, he watched down the driveway for a couple days after we got home, hoping for Jennifer's return. Thank you so much for everything!!! Till next time!”
“Kayla is just the sweetest! My family and I moved here from Baton Rouge, LA only three days before needing an unexpected sitter for our sweet, elder beagle Otis. Kayla came to our home for our in-person meeting and we (& Otis) felt comfortable immediately. She cared for Otis 3 days in a row, and left us detailed notes and the cutest photos/videos every time. We will definitely schedule her again!”
“Mariah was great! We have a pit bull that needs special care and attention, she’s was able to handle all of the request properly. Gave our dog all of the love and attention she needed while we were gone on vacation. It was a stress free experience. We will definitely use her again.”
“We had a great drop-in experience with Kayla! She is extremely responsive, we appreciated the timely and thorough communication. She easily managed our 3 dogs, big, small and a foster pup. She was patient with our shy little lady and seemed to gain their trust quickly. We will be booking again!”
About: Hey there! I’m Mikayla, your friendly neighborhood dog walker and cat lover! I work from home, which means I get to spend most of my day around furry friends (the best kind of coworkers). I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Right now, I have a 1-year-old kitty named Tails (yep, named after the Sonic character 😆). She’s my little sidekick and keeps life interesting! I also have experience walking dogs of all sizes and giving cats medication, so I’m comfortable with pets that need a little extra care or patience. I live near a big dog park and some great walking trails, so your pup will have plenty of time to explore and burn off energy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some good company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I know it can feel a little nerve-wracking booking with someone newer to Rover, and I totally get it! I’d be more than happy to start with a quick video call through Rover so you can meet me first, ask any questions, and see if you’d like to move forward with a meet and greet. Whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable! I work from home, so my schedule is super flexible! That means I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine — whether it’s a morning walk, midday drop-in, or an evening check-in. Since I’m home most of the day, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and comfort levels so they always feel safe and happy. For drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets the right balance of play, affection, and care — including food, water, and medication if needed. I have experience giving cats medication and understand how to keep them calm during the process. When walking dogs, I always use secure leashes and stay aware of our surroundings to make sure every outing is safe and enjoyable. My goal is to make you feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Janine did a fantastic job caring for my two cats! She obviously loves animals and is very patient with them. One of my babies is diabetic and needs insulin injections. I felt very comfortable leaving her in Janine's capable, experienced hands! Janine was able to come in twice a day to ensure that both of my kitties were well fed and cared for. She sent messages and photo updates, which was so reassuring. Both Pookie and Chica told me they want Janine to come back again. 😉”
“Lena was great. She made my pup comfortable, coaxing her to go out and play and take care of business when she was being a bit shy and spooked with the storms in the area. Lena was flexible and responsive and sent pictures from her visit. Thanks again for the great job.”
About: I am a dog mom all the way. I always had a family dog growing up, for 16 years, and now I have one of my own. Espresso is my 70 pound American Bully, the sweetest bulldozer. He is my whole world and I take him to training biweekly, so I have become well acquainted with dog care, responsibility, and love. Although I have one hand, I am extremely capable of caring for animals. I love to take my own dog on long walks, so I would love to do the same for others babies as well! I am also available for pop ins full of love, treats, or both. I work Tuesday-Saturday’s, so Sundays and Mondays are my best days. The other days of the week I am off by 4pm, so I don’t mind evenings as well! I love walking with the doggos letting them get all the sniffs! I will abide by any instructions given to me by the pets owners. Food instructions, leash/collar/harness preferences, and walking routes. I’m comfortable with whatever will make you and your fur baby comfortable.
About: Growing up, I’ve helped take care of many different kinds of animals, from dogs to cats to reptiles! I have fostered a dog and I currently am the proud owner of a leopard gecko. My schedule is very flexible. I'm currently based in Apopka, but I do travel often to the DC and Gainesville, FL areas to visit friends and loved ones. If at your home, I’ll gladly respect whichever rules you have for where your pets or I should and shouldn’t go. My home is well populated with pets, so I don't offer boarding services.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for the past ten years! I have experience with drop in visits, walking, and over-nights. I have sat for dogs ranging from 6 weeks old to 15 years old, I even have experience with medically complex animals. I’m currently working full-time job. so I am available for morning and evening drop-in’s. For the weekends I have full availability for your furry family. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to taking care of animals. I always make the area the animals is in is safe, and I always make sure the pet is feeling loved.
“Karrie was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Frank and Rocco! They loved her right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was caring, reliable, and clearly great with animals. We came home to two very happy pups and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs from every walk of life, from puppy to senior. I am very well experienced with senior dogs and disabled dogs and can administer things such as medication, injections (such as insulin) and special care (frequent potty breaks, exact feeding times, and so on.) I have a lot of experience with dogs as small as 7lbs and as big as 100lbs (or more.) Whatever is requested of me, I will do, including exercise, playtime, and crate time if needed. No matter shape, size, or age, I promise I will do my best! I'm currently in college and not yet working full-time, so I can make any day work except for Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm available weekends, late, and early, as long as I'm given appropriate notice on the latter two. I will do whatever is requested of me to make your pet as happy as possible within your home. As stated previously, I can give medications and follow strict routines, as well as allowing your dog plenty of time and opportunites to go out alongside regular walks.
About: After 7+ years of pet sitting, I know that leaving your furry family member isn't easy. I began sitting after losing my own beloved dog a few years ago—and while my heart still misses him, caring for other pets has been incredibly healing. I treat every dog like they are my own, offering the same snuggles, playtime, and patience I gave him. Your pup won't just be 'watched'; they will be loved on while you're away. Home full-time while I prep for the LSAT, so your dog gets nonstop company 7 days a week. I live at home with my Mom and Dad whom are in their 60s. I weave walks and playtime into my study breaks—so while I'm hitting the books, your pup is getting all the belly rubs and fetch sessions they want. 7+ years of pet sitting experience, and I genuinely miss having a fluffy companion around since losing my own dog. Let me spoil yours while you're away! While I'm home full-time studying for the LSAT (available Sunday–Saturday), your dog will have the run of the place—literally. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for unlimited fetch, zoomies, and sunbathing, plus ample indoor space for cozy naps and supervised play when we come inside. With 7+ years of pet sitting experience and a heart still missing my own dog who passed a few years ago, I know how important it is to find a safe, roomy, and loving environment. Your pup will get daily walks, constant company, and all the space they need to feel right at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Zellwood
We couldn’t be happier with the care Stormy and Baker receive. Michael is reliable, caring, and treats them like family. It gives us peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands. Stormy and Baker always come home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!
Haley took great care of our dog stopping in on two occasions while we were away for the day. Our dog is older and bit grumpy and she had the magic touch to get him to go outside after just one meet and great a few days beforhand. We will definitely use her again!
This was the first time we used Rover for a drop in visit for our cats and I'm so glad we chose Stephanie. She assured me everything was fine with our kitties and did everything we asked. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Zellwood is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. 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 5,166 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Zellwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Zellwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
