About: My lifelong, hands-on experience caring for animals of many kinds. I bred our family poodle, assisted during the birth of her puppies, helped raise them, and placed them in loving homes with family friends. Over the years, I’ve cared for guinea pigs, fish, sugar gliders, cats, and dogs of many breeds and sizes. I’ve even rescued baby birds and provided around-the-clock care until they were healthy enough to be released back into the wild. I’ve also helped several family members teach their dogs important skills, including potty training and coming when called. I had a dog by my side for most of my life until my beloved fur baby recently passed away. While I’m not ready to adopt another pet, I would love to responsibly fill that space in my heart by providing dependable, attentive, and loving care to other people’s pets. I currently work at my part-time job two days a week. Outside of that schedule, I’m very flexible and can easily adjust my availability to meet each pet parent’s needs. I’m always happy to have a conversation about your pet's specific routine and schedule so we can create a care plan that works well for everyone. I do not currently have any pets in my home, which means your pet will be my priority and receive plenty of individual attention. Although I do not have a fenced-in backyard, dogs will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, and there is also have a dog park in my neighborhood that can be used with your permission. For cats, I can provide litter boxes and a peaceful environment where they can settle in comfortably. My home is clean, organized, and pet-proofed. I do not have children in the home, and potentially unsafe items are kept neatly put away. Pets are welcome on my furniture because I believe they are family—while they’re staying with me, my home is their home.

I will treat your babies like they are my own I work two jobs, both in opposite directions, so to be able to housesit.

“Sarah was a very good choice in having them check-in on our dogs. Being a first time user of the app, I was very nervous, but Sarah made sure to keep us up to date as to what was going on every step of the way. Sarah took our dogs out, fed them, cleaned up after them and even reported that one of the dogs broke something. I highly recommend this sitter!!!!!!”

About: I bring over two years of professional, hands-on experience working with established pet care companies, caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and special needs. My experience includes everything from high-energy, playful pets to shy, anxious, and senior animals who require patience, consistency, and a calm, gentle approach. My care style is highly attentive and individualized. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, comfort level, and routine so I can provide care that feels safe, familiar, and stress-free. Whether it’s structured walks, quiet companionship, enrichment play, or simply a calm presence, I adjust fully to what each animal needs in the moment. I also have experience following detailed care instructions, maintaining clean and comfortable environments, and administering basic medications when needed. I’m confident reading both canine and feline behavior, including body language, boundaries, and stress signals, which helps me build trust quickly with even shy or sensitive pets. Growing up in a home surrounded by both cats and dogs, animal care has always been second nature to me. Combined with my professional experience, it has shaped a calm, observant, and highly reliable approach to every pet I care for. I previously worked with Pawsitivity Pet Services, a professional pet care company in Virginia, where I received a letter of recommendation from the founder recognizing my reliability and dedication to animal care. I have since relocated to Florida. Verified references are also available upon request. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine, and I’ve structured my schedule to be flexible, reliable, and fully focused on providing consistent care. I recently relocated to Florida, and I currently have open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on client needs. I prioritize being dependable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always feel confident their pets are in consistent, attentive care. I take the time to follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure every visit is completed with care, attention, and reliability. Whether it’s ongoing weekly care or occasional bookings, I’m committed to providing trustworthy service that owners can depend on. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I follow all instructions closely to ensure each pet’s safety, well-being, and consistency in their daily care. I focus on maintaining a secure, respectful, and attentive environment during every visit, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any special care needs such as medications or specific routines. My goal is to ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for while owners are away, while also giving owners peace of mind that their home and pets are being treated with respect and responsibility at all times.
“We can leave our cat Charlie knowing he will receive great care from Alana. She is responsible, always shows up on time and stays and plays with Charlie. She administers medication and is responsive to my concerns. We couldn’t get back due to the hurricane, no worries, Alana just extended her time caring for Charlie . Charlie is a shy cat and is reticent of people outside our family. Alana has built up trust and can easily pet and play with Charlie. A five star rating doesn’t cover her passion or dedication!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Avon Park is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $16 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 November 2026, there are 314 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avon Park. 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.

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.
