About: I am experienced, responsible, friendly and loved by pets of all ages. Get reliable pet sitting from someone who’s raised a Westie and wrangled puppies. I live and work locally in Lakeland. Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.
“Jessica went above and beyond for me and my cat while I was out of town. She was receptive of the instructions and carried them out well. She spent time hanging out with my cat who gets lonely while I'm away which means a lot. Timely check ins and adorable photo updates. I would definitely recommend and re-book!”
“Samantha was fantastic! She took excellent care of our dog. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their fur baby! Samantha also took the best pictures! Better than any I have taken of our hyper puppy.”
“Miriah did a great job looking after our cats while we were away on vacation, cleaning the litter box with the pine pellet system we use, cleaning the water fountain and changing the filters. Our cats are scared of people and hide, but she tried to find them and take pictures for us every time she went, and gave us updates. Thanks Miriah!”
“We’re grateful we found Corrinna! She was very polite, communicative, and followed instructions. We felt comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you, Corrinna!”
“Pennie was very professional at our meet & greet. Sent pictures of both my cats with updates. She also did additional things for me—getting mail & watering tomato plant.”
“Amber was awesome and I’ll definitely try to schedule her again the next time we’re out of town. She did drop-in visits for my two kitties, and her reports were great! She was thorough, detailed, professional and of course great with the fur babies.”
“Susan was absolutely amazing with my two cats while we were on vacation! She was on time for every visit and handled the special needs of my diabetic cat effortlessly! She loves animals and it shows! I will be sure to use Susan again the next time I need a pet sitter as my kitties were in good hands!”
“Peyton was so good with our cats. She was always on time, flexible and quick to respond on semi-short notice for pet sitting on the holiday weekend! She offered to come over ahead of the scheduled times so that she could meet me and the cats, which was super nice and it made me feel more comfortable!! She sent lots of photos and even scooped the litter box, fed our fish and brought out packages in while we were out. I highly recommend Peyton!!”
“Miranda was great with the cats. She was super attentive and provided daily updates and pictures. I had an issue with my AC and she was flexible in staying a few hours longer while the technician fixed the problem. I would highly recommend Miranda and will be using her again.”
“Ruth did an amazing job caring for my dogs. They can be difficult with one being just a puppy and the other being older and very nervous but she did an excellent job making sure they were taken care of.”
“Vanessa is always ready to do all things you ask, while taking care of your fur baby. Pictures and report of everything that happened while you were gone. My Figgy loves her, she is the best. Trust worthy, dependable and prompt. She is very caring, Thanks Vanessa you do not disappoint.”
About: About Me Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I have 30 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, from fish and small pets to dogs, cats, livestock, and horses. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. For 10 years, I dedicated my time to rehabilitating dogs that were considered unadoptable. I worked with them patiently, helping them build trust and confidence before finding them loving, perfect homes. That experience taught me how important patience, compassion, consistency, and understanding are when caring for animals. I currently have two dogs who are very much part of our family. Copper, my Basset Hound, is one of my children, and Oakley, our adopted German Shorthaired Pointer, has a special place in our hearts as well. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, which is why I take that responsibility very seriously. I am also a mom to four kids ranging from 12–19 years old, and they share my love for animals and are huge animal advocates themselves. Our family has always believed that animals deserve patience, kindness, respect, and lots of love. When your pets are with me, they aren’t just being watched—they’re being loved, cared for, and treated like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable in your absence. I currently work part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I do sometimes have extracurricular activities with my kids showing livestock and FFA events but can work around that. When I care for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I know that pets feel safest when they are in their own familiar environment, so I make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care they would get from their family. I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special needs your pets may have. I will also spend quality time with them so they receive plenty of attention and don’t feel lonely while you’re away. With my 30 years of experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and many other types of pets, I am comfortable handling animals with different personalities and needs. My experience rehabilitating dogs for 10 years has also taught me the importance of patience and understanding, especially with animals that may be nervous, anxious, or have behavioral challenges. While I’m in your home, I will treat it with the same respect I would my own. I will keep your pet’s areas clean, make sure they have fresh food and water, and keep an eye out for anything unusual with their health or behavior. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I don’t see pet sitting as simply a job. Animals are my passion, and I will care for your pets as if they were part of my own family.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was about 12. I’m very experienced and even have three pets of my own, two dogs and one cat. I’ve raised all of my animals since they were babies, so I am comfortable with young animals and confident in my abilities to take care of them. I’m able to confidently administer medication’s as needed to pets at the owner’s request. I am available whenever as long as I am able to work my normal Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM job while pet sitting. The most availability I have is on weekends if you need uninterrupted pet sitting. I make sure that pet safety is the most important thing when taking care of someone else’s pets. I ensure dogs stayed leashed when not in a fenced in environment, and I watch out for cats sneaking out of houses. I will make sure whatever safety concerns the owner has during the visit are my number one priority.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 5 years old! I’ve taken my time to learn animal behaviors and I can assure your pet will be in good hands. I have had the chance of taking care of multiple animals! Ranging from dogs, cats, goats, pigs, many kinds of birds, reptiles, amphibians and many more. Ive also taken care of many animals of many ages in life. I am mostly always free! I am a student just earning money and experience to become a future veterinarian. I have a great passion for all things animal related so I hope to have the greatest opportunity to take care of your pets! (Hablo español) (I cannot stay overnight!) I am currently a student just earning money and studying. So I am almost always free! (unless my parents planned something.) If anything comes up I will always let you know! I have a dog of my own that is very friendly! If you'd like to socialize your pet I can help! I don't mind buying things to ensure your pets needs are met. (within reason and budget of course)

I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priorities! As someone fully dedicated to pet care, I’ve made Rover my full-time focus. Being unemployed allows me the flexibility to prioritize your pet’s needs without the constraints of a traditional work schedule. My days revolve around providing attentive, personalized care, whether it’s ensuring timely walks, engaging in playtime, or simply being there for companionship. I’m available for last-minute bookings, extended stays, or midday check-ins, making me a reliable choice for your pet.

I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, which is why I’m happy to provide care in your home.

I’ll treat your home and pet with the utmost respect, ensuring everything is kept tidy and your pet receives plenty of love, attention, and care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Kathleen
Madison was amazing! We went out of town for a weekend getaway and were so anxious about leaving our cats behind. However, Madison eased all these worries away. Her communication was excellent and I could tell my cats were in caring hands. She was able to get my reserved cat to come out of his shell and even administered medication. I would recommend Madison and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!

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.

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.
