About: We’re retired pet lovers starting a new chapter in life. With all our kids grown and out of the house, we now enjoy our spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in Kendall — complete with a large yard and lots of love to give! We’ve had pets our entire lives and truly know how to care for and love them. Over the years, we’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends and private clients, both in our home and theirs. We’re experienced with feeding, cleaning, administering medication, and—most importantly—making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Now that we’re retired, we have the time and heart to welcome furry guests into our home. Our big yard is perfect for running and playing, and our calm, peaceful lifestyle means your pet will always have company, comfort, and attention. Our home may feel a little too quiet these days—so we’d love to fill it with happy paws and wagging tails. ✨ Pickup and drop-off available for a fee, depending on your location 🗣️ English & Español spoken As a retired couple, we have full availability during the week and weekends. Our daily routine is calm and flexible, which allows us to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. We wake up early, spend time in the yard or go for walks (if needed), and we’re home most of the day to make sure pets are never alone and always feel cared for. Afternoons are for playtime, cuddles, or rest, depending on the pet’s needs. We’re also flexible and happy to follow any special routines or schedules. Your pet will be a loved part of our peaceful daily life. We care for pets in a calm, loving environment. In our home, they’ll enjoy a large, secure yard for play and exercise, and a clean, cozy space indoors where they can relax and feel at home. We’re always present, making sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow all instructions carefully to maintain their routine. We make sure they’re fed on time, walked if needed, and given lots of affection so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether in our home or yours, your pet will be treated like family.

“Nathalie was amazing! This is our first time using Rover & having a non relative care for our fur babies. She made this a great experience from the booking to the meet & greet to the daily reports. Everything went smoothly & we had the peace of mind knowing our babies were being well cared for during our absence. I will definitely rebook with her in the near future & I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

About: Since I was a child I’ve always loved all types of animals furry, non furry, big or small, doesn’t matter. I’ve always valued the love and patience each animal brings with them. That’s why I believe one of the most important things is providing your baby with a safe and comfortable place when you’re gone. 🥰🤗 I can ensure that your baby is family. I’m currently a student with lots of free time on my hands, this allows me to do what I love while following my desired career path. I also get to help owners feel safe and confident that their baby is being cared for properly I have a fenced yard, and a gated front door to ensure the safety of your pet! I have 3 other dogs to keep your dog company, and I can easily crate your pet incase of an emergency.

About: I have over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for my family pets and my own dogs, so animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. In addition to caring for my own pets, I also have more than 15 years of experience fostering and helping re-home dogs and cats. Through fostering, I’ve learned how important it is to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality, history, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets who may be shy, nervous, energetic, or still adjusting to new people and environments. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat that responsibility with the care and respect it deserves. My schedule is currently open for dog walks and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. I am also available for boarding and will do my best to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. During walks and drop-ins, you can expect dependable care, clear communication, and updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, and companionship depending on your pet’s needs. For boarding, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and any special instructions before their stay. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Guest pets have access to a private, air-conditioned room where they can lounge, relax, and sleep comfortably. The room has a cozy pullout couch, plenty of natural light, and a private entrance, creating a calm and comfortable space for pets to feel at ease. I also have a private fenced patio that is separate from my backyard, as well as a larger backyard area that guest pets can enjoy with supervision. This gives pets space to stretch, explore, and get fresh air in a safe environment. I can also crate your dog if needed or preferred, and I will always follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, routines, sleeping arrangements, medication, walks, and any safety precautions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: Hey there! My name is Carlos and I’m 24. I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. For the last 10 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, and I know exactly how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind. My main goal is always to make sure you have total peace of mind while you're away. I grew up surrounded by animals and have hands-on experience with all kinds of pets from dogs and cats to reptiles. Because of that, I’m super comfortable adjusting to different personalities and specialized care routines. Whether it's sticking to a strict feeding schedule, keeping up with high-energy playtime, or handling unexpected situations calmly, I've got it covered. I genuinely treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I am available 4 days out of the week MWFS 10am-7pm. I have a very flexible schedule and I can work with you to accommodate whatever time you need. I make sure to provide the finest living conditions possible, from active play like fetch in the yard, to long walks, we pride ourselves on taking great care of our animals. When it comes to their health and safety, no expense is spared.

About: 🐾 A Lifelong Passion for Animals Animals have always been a huge part of my life. By raising, training, and deeply studying my own pets over the years, I've learned how to read canine body language, understand unique personalities, and tune into what every animal needs to feel safe and happy. 🦉Diverse Hands-On Experience I have personally owned and cared for a wide variety of animals and breeds, ranging from high-energy dogs like Huskies to Chihuahuas and Poodles. Beyond dogs, I have also shared my home with cats and birds, giving me comfortable, hands-on experience managing different temperaments and needs. Specialized Care Tailored 🏩Senior & Nurturing Care: My beloved Poodle was my companion for 19 years, making me especially passionate about and skilled in caring for senior dogs who require extra patience, gentleness, and tailored attention. (Proof that you're never too old to learn- he even mastered a few new tricks at 17 years old!) ❤️‍🩹Special Needs & Medications: I have personal experience caring for dogs with medical conditions, including managing epilepsy in my Chihuahua. I am fully open and equipped to administer oral medications and handle other special needs. 🥇High-Energy Dogs & Training: I love working with high-energy dogs and utilizing positive reinforcement to teach everything from basic manners to fun tricks. My schedule is flexible and easily tailored to fit your pet's routine. Working from home allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. ¡Puedo comunicarme en español también! To ensure the best care possible, I like to go over a few key details with every pet parent, including your pet's daily routine, favorite activities, and any training commands they know. I also always check for specific safety needs such as leash behavior, escape tendencies, noise phobias, house-training habits, and any medical conditions, allergies, or medications. For home stays and boarding, I coordinate on house rules, off-limits areas, emergency vet contacts, and home security protocols so everything runs smoothly.

About: I’ve taken care of almost every kind of animal, from basic pets (dogs) to more exotic animals such as parrots, birds, hamsters, etc. I have trained all of my dogs and currently have a medium sized dog along with an African Grey parrot that I care for. I am a student with very flexible hours. I take my dogs on walks multiple times a day, play with them, and give time to my birds. The only day I am out of home for long hours is Tuesdays. I have a fenced backyard with grass and a very friendly medium sized dog that they can play with. I have a very quiet and safe neighborhood that I take my dog on walks along with a nearby park walking distance.

About: I've always had a special love for animals! Throughout high school, I worked at a dog grooming salon, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I've also been the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone they trust to care for their pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and attention you would. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I'm responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! 🐾💕 I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate to caring for your furry family members! Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I'm happy to work around their routine and individual needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and enjoy making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, and I'm always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! 🐾 I've always said that in another life, I would've gone to veterinary school because my love for animals runs so deep! My own dog, Hazel, is truly my baby, and I treat her like family. Our days are filled with playtime, training sessions with treats, outdoor exercise, walks to explore new scents, car rides, cuddles, and even the occasional doggy ice cream date! I also love making little dog-themed crafts and finding creative ways to keep her happy and engaged. I believe every pet deserves that same level of love, patience, and attention. When caring for your furry family member, I'll always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual routine. I'll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure your pet receives plenty of affection, enrichment, and exercise suited to their needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're being cared for like one of my own. 🐾💕

About: As an RN with over 11 years of experience, I understand the importance of being dependable, attentive, and compassionate. Those same qualities guide the care I provide for every dog and cat. I’m also a devoted dog mom to a senior Min Pin named Canela. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I have firsthand experience caring for dogs with complex medical needs, administering oral and topical medications, monitoring recovery after surgery, and recognizing subtle changes in a dog’s condition or behavior. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a drop-in visit for potty breaks, playtime, meals, fresh water, or medication, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your companion is well cared for. At this time, I primarily offer dog walking and drop-in visits so I can continue caring for Canela. I also offer limited boarding for one guest dog at a time in a calm home environment. Pet care is already part of my daily routine as a devoted dog mom to my senior Min Pin, Canela. I structure my schedule around caring for her first each day, which allows me to provide dependable dog walking and drop-in visits Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and weekends from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This routine helps me give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. During drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also make sure your home is respected and secure by following any instructions you provide, such as locking doors, bringing in packages, or adjusting lights if requested. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind every step of the way.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kendale Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kendale Lakes is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $42 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 4,832 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kendale Lakes. 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.

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.
