About: I have experience as a boarding captain at a veterinary hospital. I made sure every pet there was happy and healthy so I will make sure yours are as well! I have flexible schedule so I will always be open to any day or night. Just think of me as being on-call. Let me know if when you need me and I’ll do my best to accommodate. While you’re away, I can send you daily photos of your pets. If they need to be fed or walked on a schedule I can definitely accommodate that. I have experience administering medications for pets as well.
About: I’m home all day/night pet sitting full time! Once I became a pet owner I never looked back. My fury child is my life. As a pet owner for 14 years I am very skillful in all areas of pet car from teeth brushing to tick picking. I have seen them grow old, loose their hearing, sight and ability to walk, but never once treated them like an old dog. I take seriously the need for touch by brushing their hair as often as possible and giving belly ribs when they turn on their backs for that special attention. My bed is their bed as they like to cuddle and feel safe and secure. I am a morning person and love feeling the brisk air as I watch pets take to the grass for their morning outing. I am home all day/night! I am available as early as 5:30am to receive your fury child into my home. I have plenty of space for them to play and I for one like to keep them in my site. Especially the little ones, they can get into so much. I have 4 dogs parks right in my community and each one is covered in grass. I love to walk, so your pet will never be taken off schedule. I have the best water-resistant floors in the event of any accidents, just wipe and go. I take work/life balance breaks so always free to play with your pets. I am currently home all day/night! I can feed twice a day or more, and I offer treats, walks and lots of play time. I can separate your pet, if need be. I have lots of sleeping space for those that are just tired little pups. My house is quiet, no children so no bother. I have a closed in balcony which provide a nice look out point for your pet. I have stuff animals and dog toys that I leave around the house for playmates as well.
“Madeline was great, she took care of our boston terrier went above and beyond. We had to change Airbnbs and the second was out of her range but she happily agreed to make it work for the remaining 2 days.”
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 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.

“Courtney provided great care to my cat when we were out of town for a few weeks. Her drop ins were right on schedule and we even added an extra day when there was a problem with our automatic feeder. It was great peace of mind.”
“Mackenzie is wonderful. She came over to meet my two boys the day before and then dropped in the next three days for visits. She sent me pictures and was very attentive to their needs. Played with both of them outside, gave them love and treats. We will be continuing to book her to take care of our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Bradley did a great job for us on our drop in visits. He is very kind, professional and thorough. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. My dogs love him. I will definitely be booking with him again soon.”
About: Hi! I’m Jessica, a lifelong animal lover and dog mom who truly understands how important it is to feel your pet is safe, loved, and in good hands. As someone with a pup who has special medical needs, I bring extra patience, care, and attention to every animal I look after—whether that’s walks, cuddles, companionship, or help with routines and medications. I have 15 years of experience caring for animals and always follow instructions closely so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I currently offer part-time bookings Monday–Thursday (5pm–8pm) and select weekends. Requests outside of this window may not be accepted. My goal is simple: treat every pet like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away! While I do work during the day, I’m available beyond 5pm most week days and every other weekend! However, if this isn’t aligned with your needs, please feel free to reach out and let’s see if we can figure something out! I’m also happy to schedule a complimentary meet & greet before our first walk or drop in. For same-day bookings, we’ll do a brief introduction at pickup to make sure everyone is comfortable. Im more than happy to care for your pet in your home and make them feel comfortable as best I can! Please feel free to include any special instructions or directions for how to go about this!

I am trained in pet first aid and CPR so your furry family member will always be in safe hands. Whether it's belly rubs, walks or cuddle time, I treat every dog like I would my own.

About: Animals have always been more than a hobby to me—they're my career and my passion. I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals and have worked professionally as both a zookeeper and veterinary technician. I'm currently earning my Bachelor's degree in Animal Health & Behavior, giving me an even deeper understanding of animal behavior, health, and welfare. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small mammals, and I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs an adventurous walk, patient care as a senior, medication, or simply someone to make them feel safe while you're away, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same love and attention I'd want for my own pets! As a full-time online Animal Health & Behavior student, I have the flexibility to provide dependable care throughout the day instead of rushing between jobs. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, evening visit, or overnight care, I'm able to give them the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care while treating both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. With my experience as a former zookeeper, veterinary technician, and current Animal Health & Behavior student, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, administering medications when needed, and caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. I'll follow your pet's routine closely and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
About: I've had dogs all my life and currently I have a beautiful little dog who is my life. I like to take good care of them, give them healthy food and take them for walks. My experience with other dogs is beautiful. I have a job from 2 pm onwards, Monday through Friday. I could take care of and walk your dog every morning and have them sleep on the weekends. I would love to board with you and take them for walks in all the parks and areas. I have a fence in my yard and a beautiful little dog for company and a new family with your pet. I make healthy dog food and snacks and they will have special care.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake Alfred stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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.
