About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for many years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I treat every dog I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m dependable, attentive to routines and instructions, and happy to provide walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I also know how reassuring it is to hear that your pet is doing well, so you can expect thoughtful updates and photos during every visit. Whether your dog is energetic and ready to play or would rather have some quiet company and belly rubs, I’ll take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, but I have flexibility with my lunch break and can schedule midday visits as needed. I’m available for morning visits before 8 AM, midday walks or drop-ins, and evening visits after 5 PM. My weekends are much more flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules. I’m happy to work with you to keep your pet as close to their normal routine as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any household routines. I’ll respect your home just as much as I respect your pet and make sure everything is secure before I leave. You can also expect dependable communication, detailed updates, and plenty of photos during each visit, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing.
“Zachary is a wonderful and timely dog sitter. He is thoughtful the the needs of your pet and is very loving and gentle with them. I am so happy he left a door hanger on my door and alerted me to his services. I will use him everytime I go out of town because my dog prefers him to a kennel. Thank you Zach!!!”
“Carli was great! She stopped in to visit my kitties and made sure they had all the needed. Very nice personality and excellent communicator. Would definitely recommend her to others and would book her services again in the future if needed!”
“Shirley is so great with my old boy, Hank!! She’s always on time and makes sure to keep me up to date on everything so I don’t have to worry a bit while I’m gone. She really cares for my boy, goes above and beyond and I never have to worry about his well being in her care!”
“Gina has been extremely communicative throughout the process and easy to reach. She is Super caring and has gone above and beyond with the care of our pup. I cant express enough how grateful we are for her immaculate attention to detail and care for others. I”
“Orly was amazing! She took care of the kitties while I was away on vacation. Got pictures daily and knew everything at home was running as usual while I was away! Thank you so much Orly. See you soon! :)”
“Sarah took amazing care of my dog and cat, and they just loved her! She’s kind, attentive, and very communicative. I truly appreciated the amazing updates and felt so comfortable while I was away. Thank you, Sarah!!”
“Rebooked with Evelyn, so happy with her service! She completely won over my shy cat. Always leaves the best updates and photos. 10/10 very relieved to have such a good caretaker in my area. Thanks!!!”
“Brent was great! He did a drop-in visit for my two dachshunds and took plenty of pictures, which made me feel very comfortable leaving them at home. He was reliable, communicative, and caring with my pups. I’ll definitely book him again!”
About: I have taken care of large hypoallergenic dogs in the past. I have an allergy to most dogs but love a small or well trained dog! I just graduated SCAD with a degree in film (will send you lots of photos of your pets) early and have an open and flexible schedule that I am looking to fill with my love of animals! I am a quiet and tidy person especially in the company of animals. Because I have lived with animals for so long I instinctively and immediately clean up or put away things that could be harmful to animals even when one is not in the house. I have been both a nanny to children with special needs as well as a pet/ house sitter for years. Respecting other people’s space is something that is very valuable to me! I do have a peanut allergy so I can not administer medication in peanut butter.
“Jamie D. is AMAZING! She came over before our scheduled times to meet Leo and Max. Max is very picky about meeting new people and he was in love with her after 2 visits. She is great about keeping you informed and even shares photos from her visit. She'll be the only person I use as long as she's Rover-ing. 🤩”
“Debbie was an absolute delight from start to finish. Constantly in communication with us she made me comfortable leaving my fur baby with her despite being so nervous. Also went above and beyond to meeting us outside her scheduled time. I have no doubt she'll do the same for you.”
About: I have grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life! I enjoy being around animals and love to take care of them. I own two female German shorthaired pointers who have TONS of energy! And that’s what I love most about them. I know how important it is to meet all animals exactly where they’re at temperament wise. I truly enjoy being around animals…more than humans sometimes! I look forward to getting to walk or play with your fur babies! I work a hybrid job, so I am remote 2-3 times a week where I am fully home all day with my pups. On the days I go into the office, my partner comes home during lunch to let our dogs out. On weekends, I am home full time as well. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for activities! My own pups love to run around and play fetch back there. Dogs are allowed in furniture and to sleep in the bed in my house.
“Faviana took my reservation last minute on the 4th of July. I got stuck on a flight coming back home and she not only responded quickly, she made sure she grabbed the details needed to take the best care of my babies. She went above and beyond. She is sweet, kind, reliable and communicative. I will definitely trust her with my babies again. ❤️”

We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Brooklynn took amazing care of our two cats and our dog over the past five days, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and everything exactly as we left it. Reliable, caring, and truly attentive. We would gladly ask for Brooklynn's help again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
What a fantastic experience!!! We LOVED Zach. He went above and beyond and was fantastic about letting us know what was happening with all our pets at home. We rescued a very challenging Corgi 2 years ago from animal services, and he requires very specific EVERYTHING, which can make life a bit complicated. Zach did an amazing job with him and had a perfect, uneventful (thank God) experience with him and our other weirdos. THANK YOU ZACH!!
Mary Amelia was a fantastic sitter for my two cats! They took to her right away, and I could tell even from the pictures that they were fans of her. She didn’t need to, but she washed the food bowls before she left the last time. Thank you! I 100% recommend her, and I hope I’ll get to request her again soon! Thanks so much!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alaqua Lakes. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
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.
