“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Deborah was absolutely wonderful, caring, responsible, and attentive to every detail. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in such loving and capable hands while we were away. The care, patience, and genuine affection shown to our dogs meant so much to us.”

About: I’m a very loving and attentive person who truly cares for animals as if they were my own. I understand that your pets are part of your family, and I treat them with the same kindness, patience, and affection they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making your furry friend feel safe, happy, and loved My schedule is very very flexible for pet care because I am a ballet teacher and only work a couple of hours in the afternoon I am very very careful and detail-oriented, always keeping everything clean and organized. Your pet will enjoy a safe, hygienic, and loving environment with me.
“Monica is wonderful! She is very mature, responsible, and conscientious. She did an amazing job taking care of my three dogs, who can be a handful. She has a flexible schedule, sent pictures every day, and left the house nice and neat. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Azucena (Zu) took such great care of Titi over the weekend! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Titi was in good hands. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and showed so much love and attention to Titi, especially important since she’s a senior dog. We could tell Titi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Zu went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated her communication and kindness. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. Thank you so much, Zu! ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 12 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and families in my community. I’ve also had two Boston Terriers of my own, so I know firsthand how much pets become part of the family. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities and am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsible, active, and attentive, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions. My goal is to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while they’re in my care. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in medical school, so my rotation schedule can vary from week to week, but I’m often free throughout the week. I’m especially available in the evenings and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule whenever I can! I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and playtime. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship while keeping the home clean and secure. With 12+ years of pet-sitting experience and two Boston Terriers of my own, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs.
About: Hi!! I have been the designated pet sitter in my family for as long as I could remember haha whether it be walks, short stays, or drop ins and check ins any chance I get to take care of a sweet animal I accept! I am mainly familiar with dogs and cats. I’m also a runner so if a dog needs a little bit more exercise I can do that. I am also familiar with bigger breeds. I am self employed so I work on my own terms and have tons of availability to take care of your sweet pet. My weekends are flexible and I’m willing to work with anybody and accommodate as best I can in any situation. I dont normally board animals in my home all though I have if needed and in special situations as my home is fairly small and if possible it’s nice for animals to have more space to roam. I mainly do house sittings so I’m able to come and take care of pets in the comfort of their own home !
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life. In high school, I was part of the Veterinary Science Magnet Program at Felix Varela, where I earned my CVA certification and studied veterinary science and animal care. I also spent around three years training dogs through the program. During my senior year, I completed an internship at a veterinary clinic, where I got about two years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I fostered throughout high school and for a while after, which gave me experience caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I have experience with pets of all different sizes and ages and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, basic training, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love. Having pets of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I currently work part-time and am also in school, but I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care depending on what you and your pet need. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, leash safety, doors and gates, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Absolutely amazing with my dog. She stayed at my house for the weekend and sent me updates and photos. She had constant communication and even picked up after my messy dog. I cannot recommend her enough! Can’t wait to have her back!”
“As always my babies were well taken care of! One of our dogs was unexpectedly sick and they took great care of her and made sure she got her medications and kept us updated. Fantastic as always!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, I have babysat all my friends’ dogs and I have a dog of my own and a kitten who I rescued at 6 weeks old, I have also 2 cats back at home with my parents who I have taken care of since they were 4-5 months I work remotely from home so it gives me all the time to pay attention to my pet and others, they will never have to feel alone. I live in a large one bedroom apartment with a lot of space, I am on the ground floor and I keep the window closed at all times.
About: I've dog sit many times, and I know how much love and attention they need. I'll make sure they have their fresh food, fresh water, and nice long walks to give them enough time. I'll throw in ear scratches and belly rubs too! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time during the week and weekends to care for your furry children. Please be considerate of my time, as I'll be with yours. I'm very caring and tuned in to how your furry child is feeling, and the signs they're giving me. I'll make sure to give them the care and attention they deserve, as well as follow any instructions given.
“Norma was a lifesaver taking care of both our dog & home while we were away for almost 2 weeks. She’s a natural with dogs given her line of work & our dog gravitated to her easily. She is timely, friendly, responsive, & above all, helpful in going beyond our own expectations. We feel incredibly safe having her within our home & family. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been around dogs and pets my entire life. Through training my own dogs, I've learned what works—and what doesn't—when it comes to communicating clearly with dogs and building reliable behavior. My red-nose Pit Bull, Bodhi, is service trained, and people often ask how I got him to be so well behaved. My answer is simple: I took the time to learn how dogs communicate and how to communicate with them in a way they understand. That experience is what sparked my passion for helping other dogs and their owners build better communication, understanding, and relationships. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I have a dog of my own, so I’m already accustomed to building my schedule around walks, exercise, training, feeding, and enrichment. I’m also currently building my professional career in dog behavior and training, so working with dogs is a significant part of my week. I’m comfortable maintaining consistent routines, giving dogs plenty of attention and exercise, and adjusting my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I establish boundaries with every dog I meet before walking them to make sure they get the best possible care and freedom on walks, all while keeping them safe.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Deborah was absolutely wonderful, caring, responsible, and attentive to every detail. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in such loving and capable hands while we were away. The care, patience, and genuine affection shown to our dogs meant so much to us.
Alexa was absolutely amazing with my dog, Milo. He has special needs and requires extra care, including bladder expressions and a very specific routine. She was incredibly attentive, compassionate, and communicative throughout his stay. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about his well-being and treated him like one of her own. I came home to a happy, comfortable pup and even appreciated all the thoughtful details and updates she provided along the way. Finding someone you can truly trust with a special-needs pet is rare. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and dependable sitter!
First time using Tiffany for pet sitting and she was absolutely amazing with Stormy and went above and beyond in every way. She came over throughout the day to feed him, walk him, and spend real time with him…not just check in quickly and leave. She even took him out with her for a bit to keep him busy and give him extra attention outside of his regular walks, which meant so much to me. She sent updates all day, gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear Stormy was comfortable, cared for, and in great hands. I really appreciated the extra time, attention, and communication. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring.
Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my Rover booking on very short notice, just a few days before the service, which immediately gave me so much relief. From the start, she was communicative, professional, trustworthy, and incredibly reliable. She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when I returned home. It was obvious they felt comfortable with her, and they warmed up to her right away — which says everything. Not only were my dogs happy, but my home was also left very tidy and well cared for. Stephanie truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!
Aisa and her mom were an amazing team! They took great care of Noodle and kept me updated throughout the entire trip, which really helped keep me calm—especially since it was my first time leaving him. I truly felt like I made the right choice choosing them. Anytime I felt a bit anxious, they were quick to respond and reassure me with updates and messages. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely rebook with them again!
Stephanie took great care of our girl Raven (German shepherd/belgian malinois mix for reference on the energy level if you are looking for that). We got an update for everything and she sent a ton of photos which we appreciated greatly. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone and everyone. She can handle high energy breeds (and I’m sure low energy breeds). Any care instructions we left were followed meticulously! And my girl absolutely loved snuggling up to her ❤️
This is the second time she’s helped us out and it honestly feels amazing leaving our dogs with someone we trust completely. We never worry about them for a second. If anything, I almost feel guilty because we trust her so much that we literally forget we even own dogs… at least I do 😂 She’s the best and we couldn’t recommend her more.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kendale Lakes is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $47 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kendale Lakes walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kendale Lakes maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kendale Lakes choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
