“Jackalyn is an excellent pet sitter. She took care of our cat while we spent time at the beach. Not only did she make sure our cat was fed, but she also played with her, opened and closed the window blinds for her, and even brushed her. On top of that, she fed our fish and managed the aquarium light schedule in the morning and evening. Jackalyn demonstrated a genuine love for animals and consistently went above and beyond in caring for our pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Janelie was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving Cocoa and Shadow with someone outside of our family, so naturally, we were a little nervous. Janelie made us feel completely comfortable and confident leaving our babies in her hands. She went above and beyond, kept us updated, and paid attention to every little detail. It was clear how much care and love she put into looking after them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so grateful we found her. We highly recommend Janelie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter! 🥰”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I grew up fostering dogs and volunteering weekly with a pet rescue. I have experience with dogs varying in size from Beagles to Great Danes and am comfortable with all pups! I also have a lot of experience with senior dogs and am comfortable with most special needs they may have! I am a private cello lesson teacher so my professional work days are condensed to a few hours a week. I am available every day of the week, all day except for Wednesday and Thursday in the evening where I am unavailable until 7:30. I will gladly follow any instructions left to care for your pet(s) in your home. I will treat your space and animal with respect, always using best judgment!
About: -walking pets -bathing pets -scooping litter -giving meds -playing with pets -senior pet care -special needs pet care -small pets care -trim nails -food accommodations I'm a college student and my life basically revolves around pets. I like to be organized with my schedule so that all the pets I care for get everything the need without fail, I can br flexible though if something needs to be adjusted. I have quite a few pets of my own and I love all pets just like I love my own! I'm willing to have small pets stay over at my house, I have experience with guinea pigs, gerbils, and hermit crabs. Pets such as dogs and cats I will come over to your house. I can walk them, stick to a feeding schedule, play with them, groom them, and give them all the attention they need!
About: Extremely grateful to be able to do this for work, I’m very passionate about animals and my love for them. I’m very responsible and reliable, I have been watching houses and pets since I was a little girl. I have experience with puppies as well as kittens, and senior dogs too. I have experience bottle feeding, and administering medicine. It’s something I feel very comfortable with! I love watching and keeping your home and fur babies safe! Hope to see you soon! Currently I have class Mondays and Wednesdays but I am available after and before! For the rest of the week I am available and open to being flexible! I would treat your home and family just as I would my own. I’m neat, organized, and high energy so I don’t mind long walks. I also am extremely aware of my surroundings, and vigilant. Happy to help any way I can!
“Maria did a wonderful job caring for my new kitten as always! My girl had her spay surgery a few days before Maria watched her, and Maria was very attentive to her needs and watched her stitches for any issues. I highly recommend her!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we could not be happier. Skyler came for a meet and greet before we started our Rover booking, and took the time and care to learn about our cat, ensure she knew his routine and our preferences, and then completed the drop in visits exactly on time every day we were away. She took great photos of our cat on each visit and she even left him a sweet Christmas gift. I will definitely hire Skyler again, She is a true animal lover and super responsible.”
“Phoebe is wonderful! We have a very very shy kitty who likes to hide when sitters come over which makes us worry when we go out of town, but Phoebe went the extra mile in taking the time to find her to make sure she was comfortable and fine. I will definitely be using her as my regular sitter!”
“Thrilled with Sarah. She never missed a day and spent extra time with our cat. We arrived home to a calm and not psychotic pet. Thanks Sarah, you are our go to cat sitter.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was little, friends and family rely on me to pet sit for their babies all the time! I have a dog and cat at home so I know how to handle both cuties! I’d love to get to know more animals and help out with your animal needs :)) I only have one class that's in the mornings (8-10AM) and I'm free for the whole day after that on Mondays and Wednesday! Thursdays I work during 5-11pm so I can do morning walks, Saturdays I work morning so I’ll be able to do evening walks! Tuesdays and Sundays are free all day! I can accommodate to any environment, if your dog would like to go out into the backyard that will happen, if they want to sit around and be lazy, that can also happen! In your home I will only be where your dog and will only touch things that are needed for your pet.
About: I’m a dependable, caring animal lover who knows that your pets are family. I’ve spent my life caring for animals and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog or cat. I don’t think of myself as purely a cat person or a dog person; I love them both! I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your fur kid loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior kitties who need a little extra care. I’ve taken care of my pets when they’re ill, from giving pills to giving subcutaneous fluids. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and will send regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is getting the best care. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! I’m semi-retired and have a ton of free time, which I will happily spend taking care of your beloved cats and/or dogs, attending to all their needs, even if it’s just lots of cuddles. I’m a loving cat (and dog) mom. I love nothing more than petting my cat while relaxing and getting him to purr. I make sure he has a healthy diet and doesn’t overeat, although he gets treats occasionally.
About: I absolutely love dog sitting and spending time with dogs. I've taken care of older animals as well, my own is 11 and has medications. I have cat sat for cats over 15 that are skittish and hard to feed with strict medication regiments. If requested I can happily do small cleaning chores around the house without complaint. I have taken care of cats as well; specifically one that was in its 20s and had to be given medicine every 12 hours crushed & mixed in cat food. I'm currently a student and have class for a short period of time 4 days a week and I also work, as of right now only 3 days a week. But I can work around my schedule to make sure your dog is taken care of. If I am not able to, I promise you I will let you know! Please keep in mind my current work schedule as Rover doesn't allow me to arrange my calendar by day as I wish: Monday: 11:00AM - 10PM Tuesday: 11:00AM - 10PM Wednesday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Thursday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Friday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Saturday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Sunday: 11:00AM - 5:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 5:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) I do not offer at-home service. Although my dog is sweet, he is very skittish around other dogs and I would never want to harm someone else's animal. At your home, I always make sure to be in the same room as them for 1) to avoid them getting into any mischievous actions, and 2) to make sure the dog doesn't feel alone while their loved one is gone!
About: I’m deeply passionate about all animals. I’ve always had a connection with dogs and cats. I have years of experience with pets with anxiety can provide licking pads and other toys that will calm them down. I Will treat them with care and love ❤️ I have been told I am a dog and cat whisperer I have been able to discipline them with love as well as calm them down we needed. I semi-retired work from home few days a week so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. My father lives with me and has some health issues that prevent him from having a dog of his own. Having your pet here would be a blessing and he would love your pup like his own! He asks me every morning what dog do we have coming today with a big smile. I have a fenced backyard and live in a small quiet subdivision with minimal traffic. I have nature trails and dog parks near. I also live on Lake Brantley if your dog loves the water. During potty breaks I am always outside with your pet never leave them alone. Check daily to make sure gate is secure and do a daily walk around to make sure there isn’t anything harmful (snakes, ant piles) yard is sprayed professionally for fleas and mosquitoes.
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.
“Lena was such a pleasure. She treated Corvo with such care and love. I was very nervous since this was his first time being away from me but I immediately felt better seeing pictures and video of him while I was away. I would recommend Lena and would book her again!”
“Kaitlyn was a wonderful petsitter. We had a mishap in the past with a neighbor caring for our Cats and this was our first Rover sitter. We will definitely recommend AND use her soon again. Received detailed updates and several pics per visit and it helped us to feel comfortable being away.”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Alaqua Lakes is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $23 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.

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 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.

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 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.
