“Karen was so great with both my pets— my dog (Cane Corso) and my Persian cat! She was so responsive, attentive, and followed all my (read: copious) notes. I can tell she also worked on obedience- my Benny was better with his commands after my trip than before! Even more telling, I didn’t feel the need to check my household cameras to check on them the entire time, because she sent pictures and updates multiple times per day. She has such fantastic energy, is clearly knowledgeable and experienced, and most of all, she made sure my pets had fun and stuck to their routine while I was gone. My home was even tidier than when I left too- a very respectful guest. I’ll definitely be asking her to house-sit again! Having someone you truly trust with your pets is priceless. We love Karen. ❤️”
“Shelley was fantastic taking care of our animals while we were away. She went above and beyond our expectations and provided tons of updates. The pets were all very happy and well cared for, and the house was nice and tidy when we returned home. We will definitely be booking her again when we need a sitter!”
“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”
“Brittney was amazing with my fur baby!. She provided tons of updates each day and even a photoshoot! I would definitely recommend Brittney and would book with her again. I came home to a very happy and healthy puppy.”
“Alyson stayed at my home x 2 nights with my mischievous Great Dane pup and my 10 year old Doberman. She was prompt with communication and sent updates which allowed me to enjoy my first weekend away in a long time. My dogs were well cared for! I definitely recommend her and will book with her in the future!”
“Yelena was absolutely wonderful! She responded quickly and was able to accommodate us last minute to watch our fur-babies, which we really appreciated. Throughout the day, she sent us pictures and updates, giving us peace of mind that they were happy and well cared for. She also treated our home with the utmost respect and was such a pleasure to have in our home. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would definitely recommend Yelena to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will absolutely be using her again! 🐾❤️”
“Alexis is amazing. She goes above and beyond. When one of my dogs had an accident she took our carpet to her own place to clean it. We’ve tried several pet sitters but no one leaves our kitties as happy and our place as clean as when Alexis comes to watch them. We will be using Alexis again and again!”

“Nathan was an amazing dog sitter! He took great care of my dog and sent me lots of photo updates throughout my trip. He went above & beyond helping out when I needed an emergency repairman visit to my home while out of town. I will definitely be booking with him again and I highly recommend him to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Sarah is wonderful! She took excellent care of Ellie and Theo, and excellent care of our home. She lived up to every promise she made. She handled everything that came up competently annd professionally, including a couple of unexpected problems. The dogs were healthy and happy when we got home and our house was very clean and in good order. We will have Sarah come and stay again, without hesitation.”
About: I am a vet student in school and I have been caring for my 6 animals for more than 10 years. You can trust me I will be very careful, responsible, and loving towards your animals. I work a part time job as a barista and my mornings and weekends are usually free so I will have a lot of time free to do what I love most and care for your animals! I will care for your animals at your home by feeding/walking them on time and I can put them to bed in their crate if needed or if not then they’ll have a safe space to get their zoomies out and relax!
“Nick stayed at our home for a week to take care of our dog and our cat. He was so caring with them and communicated with me every day and even sent daily photos. When our flight was canceled and we were forced to stay out of town an extra day, Nick stepped up and solved our problem despite the fact that he had a scheduling conflict. He was a real lifesaver and I'm so very, very thankful for how he took over and solved our problem. I will definitely be a repeat client with Nick and absolutely recommend him to take care of your furry family members.”

“Jonathan did an incredible job again! He has become our “go-to” sitter for our cat and dog. Our animals are so excited to see him and I suspect a little let down when they see us return. Lol. Jonathan provides such wonderful care and attention, sends updates and pics regularly, and it makes taking a family trip so much more relaxing knowing our fur babies are in great care. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Aaliyah was very friendly and communicative with the dogs. She was very attentive and available and kept sending updates each day. Aaliyah was also very clean and left no messes behind after housesitting for us. We would definitely hire Aaliyah again.”
“Taylor was tremendous for us during our vacation! She took great care of our dog and cat and took care of our house too! She was super caring and considerate of our pets and their senior status. While away, we did not worry one bit, which was such a wonderful relief! Taylor is tops!”
About: Welcome, Pet Parents! 🐾 Hi everyone! Thank you so much for choosing me as your local pet sitter! ❤️ I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other pets for about 10 years, and I’m also a proud Yorkie mom myself. I work from home, which allows me to provide your pets with plenty of attention and a comfortable home environment. I also believe great pet care should be affordable, so I try to keep my rates about $10–$15 below the average local sitter. You’ll receive three updates throughout the day — morning, afternoon, and evening — and I’m always just a text away if you have questions or concerns. **REVIEWS ** Hi pet parents! I love being your go-to pet sitter and always happy to step in when you need last-minute care! Quick favor: Since pet care is my business, 5-star reviews are essential to keep things going. It takes less than 30 seconds to drop a review after our booking, and it helps me out tremendously. Thank you for your continued support! A few friendly house guidelines 🐾 Since I care for multiple pets, I kindly ask for your trust and patience so I can give every pet the attention and care they deserve. All pets in my home are treated with the same love and care. For drop-offs, please follow my instructions and bring your pet to my door unless you have a disability or another circumstance that makes that difficult. When you arrive, please text me rather than knocking or ringing the doorbell. I may be caring for or settling another pet, and unexpected noise can make them anxious. If we've already texted that you're outside, I promise I'll be with you as soon as I safely can!
“Mark has dogsit for me on many occasions and does a great job. He’s very diligent, provides great updates, and most importantly provides excellent care for my dogs. They are older and sometimes have health issues requiring medications, so it is great to have someone I can trust them with.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Butler
Michelle was Amazing. So great with our little pup. She was flexible and so accommodating. We were able to do the parks thanks to her accepting a last minute request! She sent us adorable updates. It is clear she loves animals and is so good with both the parents and the furbabies. Thank you, Michelle for helping us have a great vacation!
Brittney was so so wonderful! Our pups loved her and she made us feel so comfortable from the minute we met! She was very communicative and would send pictures every day! She also treated our home with the utmost care. I highly recommend her for any of your petsitting needs!
Yanran cared for my four cats and one dog and we were very pleased with her care. I got photos and updates daily, the pets were all happy when we returned, she let the dog sleep in bed with her as he was obviously missing his family, and the house was clean when we returned. We greatly appreciated her care and will be booking her again soon!
Tathyana was amazing while watching our two golden girls (especially since one is missing a leg)! She was very responsive and kept me up to date on her schedule and the pups! We're so grateful for the time she spent watching our dogs; they LOVED Tathyana. She left the house spotless and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lake Butler walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Butler maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Butler 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!
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
