“We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Melanie was dropping in and caring for our cats. She sent pictures, a summary of each visit, and spent time playing with the cats. We will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for both a dog and a cat. I understand pet behavior, routines, and individual personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to ensure each pet gets consistent, attentive care. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I follow consistent feeding and activity routines, provide enrichment and affection, and maintain a clean environment. I also have a fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor play

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life! I taught both of my late dogs how to sit, give paw, and wait until I say yes to eat their food. I love animals more than humans and I know I’d treat your pets like they’re my own! I am currently only working 1 day out of the week (Sunday’s) I work in a beautiful nursery at my local church. Monday through Saturday I am completely free all day and night. I have set feeding times for my two cats, I feed them both their own bowls of wet food in the morning, and a scoop of dry around lunch time, that they can then snack on throughout the day. Whenever I’m out I always leave on a video of birds for them to watch so they don’t get bored (they love it)!! They have their own water fountain that is cleaned every week. When I had dogs I would take them out to use the bathroom every 2-3 hours and I would feed them one scoop of dry mix in the morning and one right before I eat my own dinner. I always cuddled my companions and gave them all the love they could ever ask for!

About: Caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had pets my entire life and understand how much they mean to their families. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs and always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. In my local community, I also help care for feral cats by feeding them and humanely trapping them so they can be neutered. This helps keep the population under control and improves their quality of life. It’s something I care deeply about and it reflects how much I value animal welfare. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently retired, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m available most days and times unless I’m already booked, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins that match your pet’s normal routine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow the routines and instructions provided by each owner so pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I take time to build trust with each pet and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, and lots of attention. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they are part of my own family. 🐾

About: I’ve had chihuahuas, labradors, indoor and outdoor cats, and I can adjust to any breed’s needs! I’ve pet sat for family on multiple occasions, and I think reading a pet’s body language is important to care. I can feed, water, monitor, walk and play with your pet! I currently have a lot of available free time and I’m looking to earn money in a low-stress way that isn’t food service, haha. I have a pretty flexible schedule and prefer to work the normal work days (Mon-Fri) while you go to work and your pet is home alone. I would prefer to take care of your pet in your home as my apartment is very small. I love all puppies and kitties and think confidence and patience is key while also making sure your pet is comfortable with me in their space.

About: I adopted my first dog with my then future husband while I was in grad school: a beautiful 7-month-old cinnamon colored pit-mix, Merrell. She had been returned to the shelter twice. The paperwork said she was "unsocializable," which was absolutely not true. She just needed time and patience. The first thing Merrell learned was how to behave around our cats. We went to training classes together and earned our AKC Good Canine Citizen Award. We even did some agility training to keep things interesting! Also, I have never not had cats. Two pairs of cats snuggled in Merrell's bed with her while she was with us. All of this to say that I love my four-footed family members. I have basic personal dog training experience, as described above, and as a former stage manager and teacher, I'm approachable, easy-going, and I have a lot of patience. My goal is to make your pet's time away from you as stress free and enjoyable as possible. For both of you! I have an adaptable schedule and can usually accommodate requests at various times throughout the day as well as on weekends. Let's talk through your schedule and work something out. I've been privileged to share my life with many cats and dogs for over 40 years. As a sitter, my policy has always been to treat them as if they were my own: with love, patience, and lots of pets, ear rubs, and chin scratches.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dog breeds all sizes and ages. Whether for my family members or neighbors I would be the first person they called to watch their animals since I was probably 10 years old. I’ve also raised my own GSD the past 3 years and he’s the best boy! I am going to be going to school three days a week and it will take up most of my day so I can still swing in early in the morning on those days if needed. The other 4 days I am trying to fill with playful pups and cuddly kitties! I care for pets in my home like they’re my own. Pups eat twice a day and get to play with toys out back in the fenced in yard and go for walks. In someone else’s home I will make sure the animals have food and water and get to have a chance to go outside if needed or clean the litter box. Leaving the house always requires a leash if not fenced in and if I have treats on hand I try to reward good behavior as much as possible!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years and have always had a passion for pets. I’ve owned two dogs and currently have two cats, so I understand the love, patience, and responsibility that come with caring for animals every day. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets by feeding them, giving fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I know that every pet has a different personality, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel happy and cared for. Whether your pet loves to play, go on walks, or just wants someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, dependable hands. I’m currently a student at the University of Central Florida and attend classes in person two days a week. I also work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to care for pets throughout the day. I live in New Smyrna Beach and can provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow your care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet like one of my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Ethan, came to my rescue with last-minute dog-sitting and took great care of my Jeep on 8/17/26 - 8/18/26, he shared photos of Jeep during his walks and playtime. I had peace of mind knowing that my fur baby Jeep was well taken care of by an experienced animal lover and professional. Jeep had fun, looked comfortable and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Ethan and will book again.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! My mom works at a veterinary clinic, so I’ve spent years around dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also provided dog and cat sitting for several of the clinic’s clients, which has given me experience caring for pets in their own homes and keeping them comfortable while their families are away. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for previous roommates and friends, caring for their cats and dogs whenever they traveled or needed an extra hand. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, basic medications and, of course, lots of attention and cuddles. I’m a Physician Assistant, so caring for others is already a huge part of who I am—and I’d love the chance to take care of your four-legged family members, too! I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pets, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I recently graduated from Physician Assistant school and am currently waiting for my PA license to be processed by the state before beginning my new career. Since that process can take some time, my schedule is currently very flexible and almost completely open! This gives me plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and spending quality time with your pets. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and daytime visits, and I love that I get to spend this in-between time doing something I genuinely enjoy: caring for animals! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I always follow the care instructions provided by their owner as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I want your pet to feel comfortable and keep their normal routine while you’re away. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medications, and plenty of cuddles and attention! I’m very respectful of both your pets and your home and will always make sure everything is clean, secure, and taken care of before I leave. I also know how reassuring it is to see that your pets are happy while you’re away, so I’m more than happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during each visit. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like they’re my own.

Katie was really fantastic! This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have picked a better person to watch our cats. The update photos and notes really helped us be at ease during our time away. Our skittish kitty even warmed up to Katie. She really is the cat whisperer!

We are so happy you have this awesome cat sitter come and check in on our cats while we were away in vacation earlier this week. They were always fed and give treats. And their needs met so that they were in good shape for when we came back home. Having her come by definitely put us at ease and we don't have to worry about them while we are away.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lake Helen

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lake Helen is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 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 1,762 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lake Helen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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 .

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
