About: Hello, my name is Anne, but you can call me Annie! I’m 24 years old and recently earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of South Florida. I’ll soon be working toward my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My passion for helping others extends to animals, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, when I got my first dog, and since then I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for pets in both professional and personal settings. I’ve worked at an exotic pet store and at two dog daycares, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience with basic training and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Every pet has their own unique personality, and getting to know what makes them feel happy, safe, and loved is my favorite part of pet care. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax with a calm companion, I’ll care for them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own. I am a college graduate now pursuing my masters in mental health counseling online so I have plenty of time to dedicate to giving your pets love. I live in a two story home with a fenced in back yard and a screened in porch. I currently have an almost 2 year old golden retriever that loves other dogs. While I do not provide boarding at this time, I am willing to bring my dog per clients' request if your dog needs a friend!
About: I have had a lifelong love for animals and have been a pet owner for many years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds. My passion for animals and their well-being has only grown stronger with each and every pet I have had the honor of caring for. I have the sweetest fur babies, a lab and a husky, and they would love to have a companion. I understand the importance of providing proper care and attention to pets as my pups are very special to me and have a strong desire to turn my passion for animals into a career as a professional pet sitter. I understand that leaving your pet with a stranger can be stressful, which is why I am determined to establish a strong and trustful relationship with my clients before any sitting services are scheduled. I will also keep open communication with the pet owners throughout the process to ensure that their furry friends are comfortable and happy in my care. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of finding someone who you can trust to care for your beloved pets while you are away. I am reliable and responsible, and will always put the needs of your pets first. I am also flexible and can work with you to create a care plan that fits your pet's specific needs. I am fully committed to providing the highest quality of care for each and every pet I work with, and I am confident that my love and passion for animals will make me a great pet sitter. I am excited about the opportunity to care for your pets and provide you with the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby and attend to their needs. I also have extra crates if needed. My pups love’s going to the fenced doggie park in our apartment complex and we have two parks onsite. And they also enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood.

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 have worked with dogs and horses for years and I believe every dog will remember me the rest of their lives because they will love me!

I will follow your instructions to the fullest extent possible while taking care of your pets. I can walk the tiny ones or the big ones. I love big dogs!

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.

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.
“Justine D. did a super great job! We are so pleased and happy to have had her, she cared for our cats water, food, and litter and gave them extra love and attention, definitely will have her again. It's a good feeling when out of town to not worry about our pets, they were well taken care of with Justine.”

About: I’ve worked with many dogs over the years and enjoy helping them become well-behaved and reliable. I focus on obedience, leash training, and potty training, using consistency and patience to build good habits. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable while also learning skills they can carry back home. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent, hands-on care throughout the day. Your dog will get regular exercise, structured routines, and plenty of attention—not long periods alone. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, and I keep a reliable schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime so your dog feels comfortable and settled. As a former firefighter, safety, awareness, and quick response are second nature to me. I live on 2 acres surrounded by 50 acres, giving dogs plenty of space to safely explore while still being fully supervised. I have three dogs of my own and understand pack dynamics, behavior, and structure. Whether your dog needs crate training, obedience reinforcement, or just a calm, secure environment, I tailor care to fit their needs and keep them safe, exercised, and stress-free.
“I can not thank them enough. Our pet sitter canceled last minute and they stepped up and took such great care of of our elderly cat. They truly treated her as one of their own pets. Will definitely use them again.”

“Eleonore was prompt and kept in contact with me during every visit, which was important to me because Marcel is FAMILY!! I travel occasionally, but when I'm home he has his own schedule and I like to keep him on it so he stays a happy dude! It was good to know I had someone who loves animals taking care of my buddy, and I highly recommend Eleonore and will happily use her in the future!”

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 Helen 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 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.

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.

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.
