“Tony loves dogs! But what is more important is that dogs love Tony! My dog immediately took to him and that means the world to me. He was caring and knowledgeable. He kept his schedule and was just terrific communicating with me. This was the first time I used something like this and it was very stressful handing over my baby to someone I didn’t know. Tony put me at ease and was a very responsible, timely person. I am so grateful I found him! I will use him again.”

About: I haven’t lived a day in my life without owning a pet, and I would never want to change that. I love my furry children, sometimes I forget they’re not human. I work as a veterinary technician and am used to helping and caring for other peoples babies. Giving them the best experience possible during what can be a scary time for your pets. I work at a veterinary hospital 4 days a week as a technician. So in reality, pet care is my whole life. I take care of my babies at home, and I help with others at work. I’m blessed to say I have a fenced in backyard, so my dog is able to roam and play fetch right here at home. However, my family lives in Fort Myers, so Ava (my dog) gets to go on lots of roadtrips to see her grandparents. Walks around the neighborhood before bed is our nightly routine. My cats are a bit lazy, Bear is a cuddle bug and doesn’t care much for toys at her age. My younger kitty, Cam, loves to play. We have lots of toys and a cat tree that he claims as his castle.

“Sarah was a very good choice in having them check-in on our dogs. Being a first time user of the app, I was very nervous, but Sarah made sure to keep us up to date as to what was going on every step of the way. Sarah took our dogs out, fed them, cleaned up after them and even reported that one of the dogs broke something. I highly recommend this sitter!!!!!!”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid. I also have watched dogs for my friends. My two oldest daughters head off to college this August. My youngest daughter, she will be 12 in September, loves all animals, but especially dogs. I am looking for a way to have more dogs in our house for my daughter to play with. We have one dog, Marley. However, my mom lives next door and she has two dogs, Daisy and Zoe. They visit often. But when we are watching other dogs, they will not visit. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe environment for your pup while you are away. I am able to watch your fury family member any weekend during the school year or June/July over the summer. I am not available: July 6-9 After July 30, I am back at school. I am available to watch your fury family member Friday (after 3:30) until Sunday evening (anytime.) I have a pool for them to swim in and and fully fenced in area around my house. I have about 40 acres we can take leashed walks on if you would like. We do have a few cows and a horse on the extended acreage. My lab/beagle mix loves to play with dogs. She plays well with both small and large dogs.

About: I worked at an animal shelter for a 4 years- fostering litters of puppies and older dogs at my home. I’m currently studying Animal Behavior & Digital Cinematography through online classes; I am a Certified Vet Assistant. I have 2 friendly active dogs of my own as well! I currently work at a rescue part-time, so I have experience with all breeds from all types of backgrounds! From anxious dogs to the high energy goofball’s I can handle it. I’m currently a part-time student and part time employee at a boarding facility. I go on runs, walks and hikes and would love to bring your pet for a stroll. I am also able to just hang out and spend quality time with your pup or cat if they have separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard and pool. If your animal needs to be kenneled, a crate will need to be provided. Three people in total live in my household, so someone will always be present to keep an eye on everything. Feeding will be done separate as a safety precaution and playtimes with my personal dogs will be monitored. I treat every animal as though they are my own; furbabies are exactly as the name suggests- babies!!

About: I have always taken care of my family and friends animals while they were away. I have also always grown up with animals in my house. I like teaching dogs new tricks if I’m allowed and playing with them. Due to my job I don’t work during the summer which clears out my schedule and gives a lot of free time during the day and night. I like to spoil my animals in the ways I know they like to be. I have three dogs and two cats and they all have different personalities. I love showing them affectionate all the time.I like to give them the best of everything, some people say I do to much such as buying expensive food or safe toys but I see animals as my children or friends.

About: I have over 25 years of experience caring fulltime for dogs. I have watched dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have rescued senior dogs with medical issues, so I understand well their special needs. My current dog Wink is a blind senior who just loves to sleep. I know how a quiet calm home is critical to keeping them healthy and safe while you're away. My home doesn't have children, so it's very quiet, calm, with a fenced in yard. You would feel 100% comfortable leaving your animal in my care. I can also give daily meds if needed. My home has always been a house that welcomes animals. I would be honored to welcome yours. My current work schedule is Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, but I'm able to work from home a few days a week. When possible, I will come home at lunch time to check on the pups and let them outside. I have a fenced in backyard and I NEVER leave the pups unattended. If I am not home, I usually leave the dogs in my office, so they have plenty of room without getting into trouble. I can also crate if you prefer but like to offer more room to the dogs if possible. I'm flexible to whatever your dog's needs are.

About: I have been taking care animals my entire life. My main career is a pet flight nanny and ground transportation to exotic and domesticated animals. I have a passion for animal care and making sure all pets receive the treatment that they deserve because animals are our children as well. Both of my dogs took training classes when they were puppies, so if you would like me to work on some sills with your fur baby I could definitely accommodate! I like to provide enrichment activities and endless love of course :). I have open availability! If I’m currently transporting a fur baby, my husband also works with animals. We own a flight nanny/dog sitting/ ground transportation business together ❤️. In my home I crate my dogs when I leave the house because my Bernard is a chewer. If you would like your pup in a crate if for any reason I may need to leave my house, you can bring yours to my place if boarding, or I have extra myself. At your home and mine I will watch over and take care of your pet with your instructions no matter how intricate they are! I take pride in animal care ❤️.

Taylor did a great job for us. She kept to the schedule for the home visits and sent updates and pictures every visit. We felt at ease knowing our dogs were being checked on while we were away for our daughter’s wedding. This was our first time using Taylor and Rover.com. We would gladly book Taylor again.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lake Alfred

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lake Alfred is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $20 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 October 2026, there are 2,818 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lake Alfred. 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.

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 Lake Alfred 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Alfred. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , 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.
