About: We’re a couple who absolutely love dogs and know how important it is to find a sitter you can trust. Whether your pup is full of energy or just likes to lounge, we’ll make sure they feel right at home. We’ll treat them like our own, giving them plenty of attention, belly rubs, and a cozy place to stay while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine—one of us works from home full-time, and the other has a hybrid work schedule. This means there’s always someone around to give your pet the attention they need, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just some good company during the day. Your pet will never feel lonely with us! We live in a secure, pet-friendly community with a private backyard where dogs can get fresh air and lounge throughout the day. Our neighbourhood also has a dog park—perfect for daily walks and plenty of playtime. Your pup will have plenty of space to explore, socialize, and enjoy their stay with us!
“We had such a great experiences! They took amazing care of our dogs and treated them like they were there own. We got updates, pictures, and could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”
About: I have about 7 years of pet care experience with dogs of various sizes, as well as cats. Dogs with hearing and /or sight issues, as well allergies, I have experience caring for animals of all sizes. My experience comes from caring for my brothers dog, my nieces dog, as well as some outside clients who went away on vacation, and asked me to pet sit for them! Please Read before reaching out: I do work part time job aside from dog/cat sitting services but I’d be more than happy to accommodate you, and your pet the best way I can. 😊 Animals that can be taken out between 4-8 hours do work best with my schedule. Safety is my absolute top priority! I’d never want to put myself nor your pet in any unsafe situation . I pride myself on following any and all instructions left by the owner as well as making sure your pets are as comfortable as possible. Establishing trust is an extremely important part of the process not only between me and your pet but as well between my self and the owner as well so, I like to schedule meet and greets, and allow us all to get to know each other better when possible!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8. I had both cats and dogs. I’ve had experience with family pets as heavy as 90 pounds and cats as furry like Persian cats or Sphynx cats which might be a challenge to tend for? I am currently working part time and I can schedule my hours accordingly. That gives me more time to play and tend to your furry family members. I prioritize safety and the comfortability of clients and their pets. When given specific needs for your environment I strive to follow all the requirements to ensure not only the safety but the security of taking care of your pet. I also make sure that other safety precautions/measures are taken when I am within the clients home and when I leave.
About: Genuine love for all animals. I understand like humans, each dog is different and the most important thing I can do is make them comfortable being around me. Gaining their trust is what its all about. Being retired, I am able to set aside my daily routine for any special needs of your pet as it comes up. In most events, I can get to your house on short notice without delay. I have two dogs, a Golden Retriever and an Australian Kelpie. Both are juveniles that know the whole world revolves around them, which of course I accommodate.
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
“We have been having Amber puppy sit for us for a few weeks now and every time Marlowe has such a fun time with her and her kids. She plays with her and takes wonderful care of her. Never any issues when we get home and she is very reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommend her!”
“Shea was so awesome and such a lifesaver for us for our dog when we went on vacation this summer! I really wanted her to stay home since she's 8 and is more comfortable in her own environment. Shea was exactly who we needed! She was great with our dog and relayed images and check-ins with us regularly which I appreciated. She took the time to schedule in affection every day with our dog which is huge for our boxer mix. Such a nice sitter; she even helped me with some vegetables that were fruiting while we were gone which was so thoughtful! We will definitely be using Shea for all of our future dogsitting needs.”
“Wonderful sitters. Took care of our three cats for a week. They showed up punctually, updated us with everything they did and sent us pictures every day. We highly recommend them and we couldn’t have gotten better we don’t believe.”
“We hired Rachel for a second time and she did a great job taking care of our two cats. She kept us inform and sent pictures. We recommend her to anyone that needs somebody take care of their pets.”
About: Hi! My name is Brandy! I have a certificate for zoo and domestic animal care from yavapai college in Arizona. I am also a dog owner of 11 years. I have certified both my dogs through the petsmart training courses. I have learned a lot through school and owning dogs of my own and have always had a passion for animals.

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.

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. 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 .

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.
To find sitters in Lake Helen with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
