Pet Sitting in Orlando

Laura the Pet Nanny provides professional in-home pet sitting throughout Greater Orlando and Seminole County, including Lake Mary, Sanford, Casselberry, Longwood, and Altamonte Springs, as well as DeBary and Deltona in Volusia County.

The team has served the area since 2010, and every sitter is insured, bonded, background-checked, and CPR/first-aid certified. Insurance is provided through Business Insurers of the Carolinas. Visits range from 20 to 90 minutes depending on the level of care your pet needs, so pets can stay comfortably at home while you’re away.

Why In-Home Pet Sitting

Our in-home pet sitting lets your pets stay where they’re most comfortable (in their own home) instead of a kennel or boarding facility, while you’re away for the day or for an extended trip. During each visit, your pet’s physical needs are met, plus plenty of playtime and one-on-one attention.

Pets We Care For

We care for dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, birds, fish, bearded dragons and other lizards, turtles and tortoises, and other small exotic pets.

Frequenty Asked Questions

Do you provide pet sitting while I'm on vacation?

Yes. In-home pet sitting is available for single-day trips and extended vacations throughout Greater Orlando and Seminole County. A free consultation is scheduled before your first visit to review your pet’s care needs.

Are your pet sitters insured and bonded?

Yes. Every sitter is insured, bonded, background-checked, and CPR/first-aid certified. Insurance is provided through Business Insurers of the Carolinas.

Do you send updates during visits?

Yes, you’ll get an email journal update with photos, or a text with photos and an update if preferred, after each visit so you can see how your pet is doing.

How much does pet sitting cost in Lake Mary and Sanford?

Pet sitting visits start at $27 for a 20-minute basic visit, with 30, 45 and 60-minute options available at $35, $44 and $55. Each additional pet is $3 more per visit. A free initial consultation is required before your first visit.

Do you offer every-other-day visits for cats?

No. We require at least one visit per day for cats. Feline health problems can turn serious within 24 hours, and daily visits catch small issues (a stuck door, a knocked-over water bowl, a plumbing leak) before they become emergencies.

How many visits per day will you do, and how long is each one?

Visit frequency and length are built around your pet’s routine. Most cats do well with 1–2 visits a day (20–30 minutes); most dogs need 2–4 visits a day, with 30-minute visits recommended for multiple dogs or longer walks, and 20-minute visits for quick potty breaks. We can mix visit lengths throughout the day.

Will you follow our exact feeding and exercise routine?

Feeding instructions are followed exactly, including supplements and medications, based on details you provide at the meet-and-greet. Exercise is matched to your pet’s routine as closely as the visit length allows.

Can you administer medication?

Most of our sitters are comfortable administering transdermal and oral medications. Some sitters are also able to administer insulin.

What happens if my pet gets sick while I'm away?

We monitor your pet’s health and behavior at every visit and act immediately if something seems off. For urgent issues, we take your pet to your vet right away (or a 24-hour emergency animal hospital if your vet is closed); for less urgent concerns, we contact you first. We’ll ask for your vet’s contact info at your initial consultation and keep it on file. We also recommend giving your vet a heads-up with your travel dates before you leave.

Do you offer overnight pet sitting?

Yes, overnight stays are available as a separate service. See our Overnight Pet Sitting page for pricing, inclusions, and policies.
