“Sheryl is absolutely incredible!! If I could give 25 stars I would!! She came every day like clockwork. She not only gave the babies what they needed as far as food and water, but gave them all the love and cuddles, as well as kept us abreast of any Situation that may or may not have needed attention. That kind of care and commitment isn’t always the norm and it is so appreciated! Thank you so much for alleviating any stress we had at home and allowing us to have an amazing wedding at a beautiful destination. Knowing our babies were well taken care of and loved was priceless. Definitely will book again.”
“Shawnee always goes above and beyond when she cares for our kitties! She is very communicative and it’s clear she enjoys spending time with them. We always know they are in good hands with her.”
“Samara is amazing, and you won't regret booking her. She sent me tons of videos and pictures which made me feel like I wasn't so far away and missing my cat. When I got home, he was happy and well fed. Thanks again for making my long trip less stressful and keeping my little dude taken care of.”
“Shannon is not only a pet sitter. She gets to know you and your pets before even starting!! She became a friend and made me feel so comfortable while I was away!! Thanks Shannon :)”
About: I have years of personal experience caring for my own fur babies, as well as experience working in an emergency vet. I am comfortable handling pets who need a little extra TLC due to their health or personality, and nothing makes me happier than giving owners the assurance that their fur family is in good hands💜 I currently have two cats, Dobby and Chai, and I have experience with all ages of pets :) I can care for exotic pets as well (I personally have several invertebrates as well as a blue tongue skink and an African house snake!) I do work full time, so I am not currently able to provide 24/7 services. I currently work overnight (usually Monday and Thursday) but also work Saturday during the day almost every week as well. Please reach out to me with any questions regarding my schedule and how I can best accommodate your babies! I will follow any and all instructions left for me to the letter, as I would want someone to do the same for my pets.
About: With over 30 years of unwavering dedication, I am a seasoned pet care provider passionate about fostering a loving and secure environment for your furry, feathery, and even unconventional companions. From dogs and cats to a diverse array of birds, cows, and yes, even skunks, I've embraced every unique challenge with genuine care and commitment. Safety is my top priority, ensuring your pets thrive under my watchful eye. As a compassionate animal lover, I understand the importance of tailoring care to individual needs. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted listener, ready to accommodate your pet's preferences and your concerns. Trust me to provide the utmost care, flexibility, and a nurturing environment for your beloved pets. The ability to set my own work schedule provides a tailored approach to caring for pets. With the flexibility to adjust my hours, I can meet their specific needs, including feeding, walks, and playtime. Breaks throughout the day allow for regular check-ins, addressing any emergencies promptly. This personalized care not only reduces stress for pets but also eliminates the need for external pet services. The freedom to be actively involved in their daily lives ensures a comfortable routine, fostering a strong bond and peace of mind for both me and your pets. In caring for pets, I extend my services both within my own home and at clients' residences, ensuring a comprehensive and attentive approach. At my home, I provide a range of services such as bathing, meticulous medication distribution, and regular walks tailored to the specific needs of each pet. I create a comfortable and loving environment, prioritizing their well-being. Additionally, when caring for pets in clients' homes, I extend the same level of dedication. This includes administering medications with precision, offering bathing services for hygiene, and taking dogs for invigorating walks. The goal is to mirror the care and routine they are accustomed to, whether in their familiar home environment or within my own space, ensuring a seamless and positive experience for both the pets and their owners.
About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and breeds for over 10 years. I love giving pets a safe space to call home, even if it's temporary! I work from home so I am able to walk, play with, feed, and spend time with pets all throughout the day. Your pets will thank you for bringing them to me! I have an In-community dog park to allow the dogs to run and play. I enjoy play time with the pups and also make sure they follow any routine the owner leaves me, regardless of at my house or yours!
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.
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.
“Chelsea is an excellent sitter. She is so caring to all of our babies and always goes above and beyond. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provides while we are traveling. Highly recommended!”
About: I have had dogs for 10+ years. Feel free to check out my dogs IG page bolt_and_mr.moo to see the life they live and love. I am currently working as a personal shopper and have time through the day to allow the dogs to have potty breaks and home all nights. I live keeping dogs in their own homes because it helps them keep the routines. I make sure they get feed at the same times and their potty breaks are at the same times as usual. If they have any special needs I also make sure to handle them.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life so I am experienced and I know how to love and take care of four-legged family members! and have dog sat and walked before for people in surrounding neighborhoods. I am a stay-at-home mom and a part-time substitute teacher which means I can be flexible for all of your individual pet needs! I will feed, walk, and play with your pets! I am also willing to do extra services like administering medication or whatever your pet may need!
“She was absolutely incredible!! She brought my dogs to my wedding and was so helpful there. Everyone loved her and said she did amazing with them! When she brought them back home she picked up and did our dishes so we didn’t come home to a mess after our wedding ? We will definitely use Amber in the future and recommend her to our family and friends.”

Taylor exceeded my expectations while she came and took such great care of my two cats, Leo and Luna! I was very appreciative of the pictures she sent daily and looked forward to receiving them. That’s a very nice touch! Book Taylor without any hesitation as you won’t regret it, highly recommend! A+++
Emmy is the best! I had her come play with my high energy cat 3 days a week for 2 months. She was so sweet to him and knew exactly how to keep him interested throughout the play session. She was always very communicative and friendly! She was also willing to accommodate any last minute changes, like when I picked up an extra shift at work and asked her to come for an extra day. Also the best pics I have of my cat are from Emmy now. She also went the extra mile to make my other cat, who is very anxious around new people, feel comfortable. She did her best to win my scaredy cat over, while making sure to respect her boundaries. I believe the ability to form a bond with an animal, in a way that they are comfortable with, is one of the most important traits that a pet sitter can have and Emmy excels at this! I promise you will not regret booking Emmy to care for your furbaby.

The average cost of Pet 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.

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 .
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.

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 .
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.
