“Melissa is wonderful! Our cats are very shy, but we always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. Melissa takes great care of them - they’re well-fed, calm, and everything is always clean and tidy when we return. We really appreciate her attention to detail.”
“Stephanie is without a doubt the best sitter we have ever had and Bella is 12 years old. Incredibly thoughtful, kind and patient. We love her so much. And my puppies love her even more! Thank you!”
“Jean was great with Shylah. She walked and played with her at every visit and we could tell by the pictures that Shylah was happy and well taken care of. This was the first time we did not have a problem with Shylah eating while we were away. We appreciated the peace of mind we had with Jean taking care of Shylah and we plan on using her again.”
About: Hi! I’m a recently retired teacher from Pinellas County Schools and am excited to begin a new chapter caring for pets in my community. Animals have always been an important part of my life. I’ve had dogs for most of my life, and today I share my home with two wonderful cats. Living with both dogs and cats has given me an appreciation for their different personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with both. As a teacher, I built my career on being dependable, patient, organized, and trustworthy. Those same qualities make me a caring and reliable pet sitter. I understand that every pet has its own routine, and I will follow your instructions carefully to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a visit, or caring for your pet in your home, I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I know how much our pets mean to us because mine are family too. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a recently retired teacher, I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy keeping pets on their regular routines whenever possible and will work with you to provide dependable care that fits your schedule. Advance notice is always appreciated, but I will do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay on their normal routine. When caring for your pet, I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines. I will treat your home with respect and your pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. Safety is my top priority. I’ll always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and will provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
“This was my 2nd booking with Sierra and both times she has been excellent with my babies ! Appreciate her photos and detailed notes about everything. Can’t wait to book again!”
About: I’m a hardworking and caring person who absolutely loves animals, especially cats and dogs. I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets and pet sitting in the past, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Dogs bring so much joy into life, and I’d love to bring a little joy into theirs while you’re away. I enjoy running and taking long walks, so if your dog loves exercise, I’d be more than happy to join them. Every dog deserves love, no matter their age, and it would be my pleasure to care for them. Cats, with their calm and unique personalities, hold a special place in my heart too. I’ll make sure your cats feel loved, respected, and cared for while you’re away. Thank you for considering me to look after your furry family members! I currently on a teacher on summer break and have open availability! So take that mid week trip to Disney or to a water park! I will respect the space that I am in. This is your pets territory so I will ensure that it is well respected. Making sure they feel comfortable and safe is my number one priority.
“Christy was such a wonderful sitter and our dog really loved her! I can't recommend her enough! We can't wait to use Christy again because she made us so comfortable away from home knowing our doggie was in good hands.”
About: Hi! I’m Rachel, and I’m an animal lover who genuinely believes pets are family. 🐾❤️ I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry babies with someone else, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible for both you and your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet wants lots of cuddles and attention or prefers a little space, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and love getting to know each one’s unique personality — including the shy, sassy, and slightly spoiled ones! 🐈⬛💕 I’m also very responsible when it comes to feeding schedules, medications or special instructions, litter box care, playtime, and keeping you updated while you’re away. Your home and your pet will always be treated with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets and help give them a happy, comfortable experience while you’re away! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to build visits and pet care into my daily schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m very comfortable following established routines, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, playtime, and other special instructions. I also understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I make it a priority to be dependable and keep their routine as close to normal as possible while their owners are away. 🐾💕 I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, medications, and any special treatments they may need. 🐾 I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them with the same care I would want someone to show my own home. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away, while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and being well cared for. 💕
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 4 years now. I love any animals, and am happy to help with yours!! I’ve also taken care of tortoises, bearded dragons, fish, hedgehogs, birds, and hamsters as well!! I work part time and am a full time student, I only go to school two days a week so I have plenty of free time during the weeks and between school and work to hang out with your pets!! I always be sure to keep eyes on your pets to make sure they’re not getting into anything and I take them out often, make sure they’re always fed and walked, and i love to play with them as well!!
“Jessica is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for my fur-baby!! I love that I can travel with peace of mind that she’s taking care of everything for me. So happy I chose her! 🤗”
“Christine is an all star sitter!! I see from the photos that she sends and from her documentation of the visit that she truly cares for my critters!! As since I foster, the crew changes when they are adopted. She is sure that they get exercise and love. Thank you Christie!”
“Melinda was great with our pets, we couldn’t have asked for a better person to be here for our fur babies. It’s always hard to find someone that does great with our dogs as they are large breed (Great Dane & Lab) & our kitty Gussy too and they can be a handful. She was extremely comfortable with them and they loved her. She was always there for them to feed, potty & play and even picked up their poop in the yard and cleaned out cat’s box out daily, brought in my mail and trash cans too. We would recommend her and will be using her again! Thanks Melinda you’re the best ?? ??”
“I had to leave my two dogs and one cat for a small, weekend trip a couple hours away, so finding someone who could watch them was stressful. I live with my grandmother who watched all three animals in the evening, so I just needed someone to drop-in and quickly let them out. I read Aldyn’s bio and thought that she sounded pretty qualified, so I scheduled a meet and greet and couldn’t have been more thrilled and confidant afterwards. Once I left for the trip, I was in constant communication with Aldyn. She was very communicative and forward with me, which I greatly appreciated. She provided my babies with the best care out there, which relieved a lot of stress for me. Knowing that she was there providing my babies with excellent love and care, even if it was just for a drop-in visit, was awesome. Aldyn was also extremely understanding my situation and was very accepting. I appreciated that very much. I highly recommend Aldyn for any type of service you may require! She is truly exceptional!”
“Susan did a great job watching our 3 cats! She did 4 drop ins while we were away traveling for the holidays. We came back to a perfectly clean apartment and happy kitties. This was our first time using Rover and it was well worth it. Thanks so much again, Susan!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and would be happy to help take care of yours! I am comfortable with small, medium, large, and extra large sized dogs of all ages and have experience walking and pet sitting all sizes. I am an active person and thoroughly enjoy walking/swimming with dogs as well! My family raises seeing eye dogs for the blind, and working with such wonderful animals is a passion of mine. I understand that leaving a family member at home while you’re away can be difficult for both you and your dog, so I hope to alleviate some of that stress for you. Please feel free to reach out to me with additional questions. I am excited to meet you and your fur babies! I work from home and have a fenced yard! I can take frequent potty breaks and/or walks, and have the flexibility to be attentive to your pets needs throughout the day. I have a friendly black lab who loves everyone to keep your fur baby company. I also have a pool if your pup likes to swim!
“Holly was always very diligent about updating to walks and providing pictures. Her and our puppy got along great. Appreciated the reliable check ins while we were gone. Will definitely seek her out again.”
“Michele did a great job taking care of my elderly cat who can't walk anymore. I was worried and felt guilty about going out of town for a couple days but she kept my mind at ease with updates for every visit. Definitely recommend.”

This is our first time working with Jessica and I can not say enough what a great experience it has been. We came home after a 10 day trip to a relatively calm happy cat. Getting pictures and notifications were spot on and made the trip worry free. Thanks Jessica you will be hearing from us again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Lake on Rover is $10.7 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,162 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 East Lake. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
