About: Hi! I was born into the animal rescue field, I was trained at a young age how to handle all types of animals, how to train them and treat them medically. I'm well versed in the medical aspect of pet caring and mental care. I can give oral and injectable meds. I've raised many puppies who have been adopted, pet sat hundred's of dogs and would love the opportunity to care and sit for yours as well. I have 2 very friendly dog who loves playmates. We also have 2 cats and 2 kids who are very good around animals. We require a meet and greet for all dogs except puppies under 6 months. All dogs over 6 months who stay with us need to spayed or neutered and up to date on rabies flea and tick meds. If choosing us, during a meet and great we will have you bring your dog(s) into our yard where we will have you meet one of our two dogs. If cat testing is needed we can do that on our patio. We don’t allow clients in our home for safety purposes. For drop off and pick up please contact us from the driveway and we will come out to retrieve your pet(s) and their items. This has proven to be best for all the animals with acclimating. When providing food for your pet it is preferred if you baggie up each meal separately to make meal times easier. Dogs must be dog friendly as this is a full time business and we can’t guarantee your pet(s) will be the only ones here unless previously discussed and will incur additional fees. Please consider us for your next pet sitting need no job is to big! We will even do some pet training if need be. I am a stay at home mom, besides the typical trip to the grocery store or a trip to a play ground or random doctors appointment we are home a lot and would be with your pet giving he or she tons of love. Your pet will be treated like one of the family’s. Belly rubs and kisses are free. My yard is fenced and dog proof. If they need to be crated I always recommend bringing your own because they are more comfortable but one can be provided. Dogs get accompanied outside for potty breaks as much as needed and desired. Fresh water is always available and theres always a comfy spot for a nap. Dog’s will never be left unattended around the children or other dogs in the home. The whole house is set up and equipped for dog sitting.
About: I have had dogs for over 20 years, and currently own 2 adorable dogs. I am very comfortable with feeding walking and playing with dogs I currently am working part time so my schedule is open for taking care of your fur babies for drop in visits, and dog walking. I have a spacious fenced in yard for dogs to run around in. Dogs get walked 3 times a day depending on the weather. I feed our dogs 3 times a day usually mornings afternoons and evenings.
About: I have been caring for my own animals since I was young, with one of my first memories being watching my cat give birth in my closet. I have spent over six years as a veterinary technician, which has prepped me with plenty of medical knowledge to care for all different types of pets, so feel free to reach out if your pet has any special medical needs. I'm always excited to meet new fur babies, whether they are young eager puppies or old peaceful cats. At my animal filled home, I care for an energetic golden doodle, a small calm pug mix, a Siamese and black cat, and even four ducks that fill my days with laughter. As an exotic vet tech, I am also comfortable caring for your snakes, lizards, tortoises or any other critter in your family. Let me know how I can help make your time away from your home easier for you! I am available to do drop in visits for your pets in the early morning and late evening Tuesday through Saturday and anytime on the weekend. I am happy to stay at your home full-time while you are gone, just be aware I will be leaving for work between 8am-5p Tuesday-Saturday. I will make sure to respect your home and always lock doors behind me when visiting both for the safety of your pets and home. Feel free to let me know your pet's personality and what activities make them feel safe and comfortable. I have house sat for many people in the past and have had happy reviews from them and assure they felt their fur babies and home were in good hands.
About: I care for pets like family. Whether it’s extra playtime for puppies, gentle walks for seniors, or just cuddles for comfort, I give each pet the love and attention they deserve. My goal is to make them feel safe and happy while giving you total peace of mind. I love staying active with my own dog, so walks, play sessions, and exercise are already part of my daily routine. Adding more furry friends into that mix just makes it even better! Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m happy to make it part of every day. I make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved, just like I do for my own dog. In my home, pets enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, provide care and companionship, and send updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: I have been raising and taking care of dogs since I was young. Am comfortable giving medications, working with puppies and different dietary needs for your pet. I am currently in a nursing program and only have in person commitments a few times a week. Each week is a little different for me but I have plenty of time to care for your babies! I always keep pets leashed when walking them and make sure to pay attention to the weather. I always have water and treats with me when walking.
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: Hi, I’m Shellie! I am an experienced pet caregiver offering dedicated dog walking and drop-in visits. I previously loved caring for pets on Rover 9 years ago. Unfortunately my children had developed allergies, so I no longer was able to provide care in my own home. While my children's allergies mean I cannot host animals in my own home, my kids are now older and in school full-time, which gives me the perfect opportunity to visit yours! Because my schedule aligns with school hours, I have excellent, dedicated availability Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM to give your pets the focused attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you are at work. I pride myself on being highly dependable, respectful of your home, and communicative—you can always expect plenty of photo updates! I can't wait to meet your furry family members and become their favorite daytime visitor. My schedule is around school hours. I am available Monday though Friday 830 to 2pm. Lots of morning and afternoon time to care for your animals. I care for pets with love, and affection, and paying attention to their needs, taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, giving them all the love they deserve.
“Caitlin is wonderful. We were stranded out of town for 48 extra hours on our trip and she stepped right up, taking great care of our dog on those unexpected days. We always have a little anxiety leaving our elder dog and then to have extra days on top - but Caitlin communicates with each visit and provides photos so we can see our old girl is doing just fine. Thank you!!”
About: I've been caring for animals of all sizes for most of my adult life. I spent several years caring for animals professionally at a pet boarding facility in Sanford. I also learned a lot about animal care while working as a receptionist in a veterinary clinic. I currently work a free lance job that takes me all over. Please let me know what your regular schedule is like so we can make a good plan for your pets care while you are away. It is important to me that your pet sticks to their regular routine while you are away. I always schedule a meeting before booking to take detail notes on your pets daily routine.
“Our dogs LOVE Erin and so do we! My husband and I went away for the weekend and we came home to happy, healthy, freshly washed puppies with big smiles on. Erin was amazing and we would use her again a million more times. She sent us pictures and videos of our dogs having a great time, gave them a bath when they had too good of a time in the mud, and washed the towels she used to dry them off so we didn't have to when we got home. She went way above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend her. THANK YOU ERIN!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Helen
Amanda was an outstanding dog sitter for Dixie! She took excellent care of all of Dixie’s needs and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. Amanda sent photos every day and kept me updated on how Dixie’s day was going, which gave me so much peace of mind. Overall it was a great experience—highly recommend Amanda if you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter!
This is the third time she has taken care of my dog, and once again she did an excellent job. She is reliable, caring, and always keeps me updated. Mexi is excited to see her every time, which says a lot. I feel completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care. Highly recommended.

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 Helen 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
