“Elena has been great with Dex. She communicates well, sends updates, and makes sure he gets lots of love. She gives me peace of mind to know Dexter is safe and cared for. I’ve always come home to a happy pup.”

About: I have owned cats and dogs my whole life, of all ages. I have been taking care of other people’s animals for the past 2 years, and it’s honestly been such an amazing experience, seeing how grateful owners are that their babies are taken care of, and seeing how happy the pet is to have someone to play with or cuddle with. Pet care is my job so I have a wide flexible schedule for this! I do daily walks, or daily check ins. I also do sitting where I go over for hours at a time while the owner is away. I have clients who have pets who have never been alone before, and anytime they need to leave the house I’ll go over and sit with them, feed them, walk them if necessary. But it gives them a lot of peace of mind that their baby is not anxious with them gone, and is well taken care of.
“Bradley recently provided a drop in visit for our 2 dogs. He was respectful and courteous and our dogs love him. We would not hesitate to use Bradley again should the need arise. Thank you Bradley from all of us”
About: I truly love animals and caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I am a responsible, patient and attentive person who will make sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved. I understand that pets are family, so I will treat your dog as if they were my own. I enjoy walks, playtime and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Your pet will always receive my full attention and care. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate quality time to your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding throughout the week and on weekends. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like part of my family. My goal is to transition into pet care full-time, so I’m committed to providing the best care, attention, and love to every pet I look after. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a spacious yard where pets can play and enjoy fresh air (always supervised). I also have an English bulldog who is friendly and used to being around other dogs. As a mom of two, I’m very attentive, patient, and used to creating a safe and loving environment. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and crate needs if necessary. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I am almost done with my CVA, which has given me hands-on experience with animal care and a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to recognize when a pet may be stressed, uncomfortable, or need extra attention. I’m very attentive to routines like feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care instructions you have for your pet. I also volunteered at a horse rescue for 6 years, which has helped me become even more patient and comfortable working with animals that all have different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and extra energy or an older pet who needs a gentler approach, I’m confident in providing calm, dependable care and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I currently attend CVA school Monday through Thursday from 6-10 PM, and because it’s a veterinary program, I’m able to bring new animals with me every day if that’s something an owner is comfortable with. This allows me to spend even more time with your pet and keep them with me throughout the day. Outside of school, I’m available the rest of the day and can realistically spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I also care for my own animals every day, including my dogs, cat, and reptiles—a snake, bearded dragon, turtle, and leopard gecko—so feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, cleaning cages, and keeping their spaces clean are all part of my normal routine. My entire day is basically centered around animals between school and caring for my own pets, so pet sitting fits very naturally into my life. I care for pets with a lot of attention, and fun! I usually feed my pets at the same time every day and follow a schedule, but I keep it flexible so it works for each pet’s needs. I give dry food and simple medications like NexGard but, I also have experience handling special diets and other medications. Playtime happens whenever pets seem bored or want to go outside. I have lots of toys, treats, and fun activities inside, and I enjoy running with dogs outside or taking them on car rides. I also do some basic training for fun, though I’m not a professional trainer. I keep spaces clean and comfortable, cages and tanks are cleaned regularly, puppy pads are replaced, and everything is wiped down with disinfectant as needed. Pets have their own quiet areas, toys, and treats to feel calm and safe. I’m very observant of their behavior, so I can notice when something feels off. Pets aren’t left alone for long, except when I’m at school for a few hours. I’m used to managing multiple pets at once by keeping a close eye on everyone and giving each animal their own space when needed. My home is very clean, and I constantly sweep, mop, and vacuum. Overall, I make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, and I treat them as part of my family giving lots of love, attention, and care every day.
“Maryana was fantastic. Not only did she follow instructions provided for our cats, but she was attentive and not afraid to go above and beyond. This included her bringing new treats for the cats to try and letting us know if anything out of the norm occurred. We will 100% be booking her again!”
About: I have past professional babysitting and nannying experience and I believe if you can leave your child under my care than a pet should be the same! I've had 2 German shepards that I have trained myself along with countless other doggies I've watched and taken care of I’m reliable, detail oriented, and flexible with scheduling. Whether you need a quick drop-in visit, daily walks, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I’m committed to providing dependable care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I am a college student so my schedule is wide open. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, administering medications, cleaning up, and sticking to your pet’s routine, I understand that consistency is key to keeping them happy and stress free. My goal is to care for your pet as if they were my own.
About: I love taking out pets out to the park to have fun and play, and as long as the owner permits it, I’ll bring my own dog along so they can play together. Additionally, I make sure the dog does their needs at least 3 times a day. One time in the morning after they eat breakfast, one in the middle of the day after they eat lunch, and one time in the night before they go to sleep. I work full time and I have 2 days off. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available all day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. I am sometimes available on Fridays, so you’d have to advise me 3 days before to see if I can accept your booking. I leave them unleashed in the home and I don’t put them in cages because I believe they should roam free in the house. I play with them for a long time and at night I do it so they can get tired and sleep soundly. I wash their bowls after they eat and make sure their water is clean. I don’t cook for them for safety reasons, so you would have to bring their own food.
About: It was obvious from the time I was a little girl that I had a special connection with animals. I used to visit my grandmother as a child and pretend I was a dog trainer. We always had pets growing up. In 2006 after spending years in retail management I saw a sign on a car advertising pet sitting services. I knew that was my calling and soon started my own business. I have many clients and references. Pets are family and should be treated as such. I offer a home environment and lots of TLC.
“As a fellow pet parent, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else with your furry family member. That’s why I can’t recommend Jessica enough. One of the things that stands out to me about Jessica is her genuine love for animals. She doesn’t just “watch” pets—she takes the time to understand their personalities, routines, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated with patience, kindness, and so much love. One thing I think every pet parent looks for is someone they can trust, and Jessica is exactly that person. She’s dependable, responsible, communicative, and truly treats every pet as if they were her own. Knowing your pet is with someone who genuinely cares brings a level of peace of mind that’s hard to put a price on. If you’re looking for someone who will provide updates, pay attention to the little details, and make your pet feel loved while you’re away, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica. Your fur baby will be in amazing hands.”
“Haylee is a great sitter and I recommended her to a neighbor who has a cat as well. She took great care of my cat during the recent cold snap while I was running in California! Thank you Haylee!”
“I so very much enjoyed meeting Sunnie and entrusting her with our fur baby! She is thorough, kind, and gives very detailed updates with photos which is very helpful! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Emely was amazing. Constant contact, and sweet photos of our fur babies. She cared for them as we would have, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how well she took care of them and spent the time with them. I will definitely use Emely for future pet sitting!”
About: I’ve fostered 3 dogs and helped them be rehabilitated, I believe in what’s best for pets and know they are just little babies with fur. I am mainly free all week, if I’m not shopping of course, but I spend all my time with my dog and love spoiling him. I only have Sundays and Wednesdays busy because I am a Christian and attend all the services when I can. My home is one story with a fenced backyard, it is cleaned daily and deep cleaned once a week, the backyard has a tall white fence with a ton of room for dogs to play and potty.
About: I myself am a pet owner to a sweet dog that does unfortunately have issues with fear aggression when meeting new people. Which is why I'm willing to meet any animal to see if things can work out. I'm not easily scared by dogs and I understand how hard it can be to find someone that is willing to meet my sweet boy. He is also a notorious leash puller so I'm comfortable with any kind of set up you have for potty breaks (he uses a head harness). I'm not here to judge your pet I'm here to make sure they are well taken care of. I'm also very comfortable with making sure they keep up with their training (I can firmly give them commands) while also making sure they get the love that they need. I work for the school board so my summer is super open right now, I might take a few vacations but my schedule will always reflect my availability as soon as I know it. I will always communicate the behavior I see in animals and keep pet parents well updated. If a pet parent needs me to crate their pet after a visit or a walk I'm comfortable with doing so and I even have tricks to do so!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little, I even started washing dogs for my neighbors when I was 13. I have been around dogs since I was little and just got a cat. I love animals and meeting new types of dogs and cats! I work part time during the day but I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends. I have very good time management and I am able to work around my schedule. I take in to account what the environment is when I care for pets such as if there is fenced yard or near a busy road.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lake Alfred with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
