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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was about 11. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to feed, play with and walk their dogs. I would love to be your next option!! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to visit your house and cater to your pet’s everyday needs and love! I can do House Sitting whenever, as I don’t mind driving to and from work. I will be attending college soon, so I would be available MonTues before 7:30am and after 2pm, and WedThu before 2pm and around 8pm. I have a fenced yard and two pups at home that do not discriminate! They have a feeding schedule that will not interfere with your pet’s, and we have plenty of toys to go around!
About: 🐾 About Me Animals have always been a central part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have been a devoted pet owner since childhood, with experience caring for several different breeds of dogs, both small and large, and of various ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. During my teenage years, I also cared for a cockatiel. Today, I share my home with three wonderful cats. I am a strong advocate for animal well-being and believe every animal deserves compassionate, attentive care. I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and respect to your pets that I give my own. 🐶 My Experience & Approach In addition to a lifetime of owning and caring for animals, I gained hands-on experience working at a local dog grooming salon as a teenager, where I groomed dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In more recent years, I have had the rewarding experience of rescuing and fostering a pit bull mix, which strengthened my patience, understanding, and commitment to helping animals feel safe, loved, and secure. These experiences have taught me that every pet has its own unique personality, needs, and routine. I take the time to build trust with each animal and provide care that helps them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care needs any day of the week between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. My availability outside of those hours may vary, but I am happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine and specific needs whenever possible. My flexible schedule allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve while providing you with peace of mind knowing your companion is receiving dependable and loving care. Because I share my home with three cats, I am unable to provide boarding or in-home care for other pets. However, I am happy to provide reliable and loving care in your pet’s own home, where they can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I am reliable, trustworthy, and respectful of each client's home and personal space and will treat your property with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. My goal is to provide pet parents with complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companion is receiving safe, loving, and dependable care while they are away.
“Outstanding is the only word that comes to mind. My sister (doing the overnight care for Zeus) somehow locked the porch door, which is how Farren and Kelly were to enter and provide access outside for a late-morning drop in. Long story short, she tried and tried tor each me (phone was not on me) and finally reached the hubby (he was sick!) and actually crawled through a sliding screen door to get in. Super sweet and was determined not to let Zeus go without his yard and 'business' time that morning! Thank you, Farren and Kelly, for your dedication and love for my elder boy at home. I'm sure he appreciated it very much and hope you at least got a puppy kiss for your efforts.”
About: I come from a family who worked alongside wildlife conservation groups since I was young, raising infant squirrels, tending to sick horses and of course, our own dogs and cats. I was raised with animals of all kind, reptiles even, and so it is to my belief that they deserve the same level of care and respect that we would give to our own real children. All critters and furry companions alike need love. 🩵 I’m a disabled novelist and creative so that gives me plenty of free time to care for your animal companions! Just shoot me a message and let’s figure out a solution to your needs. I only offer out of home care, aka house sitting, visits to feed and other walk pets. My home has a cat and would not be a safe environment to invite other animals into. Her safety is my top priority.
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.
“Thank you so much to you and your family Amber! The house looked great and he seemed very content when I saw him :). I appreciate you guys. Happy holidays to you all as well! I have an opportunity for something similar Jan 1st-3rd (just 3 days) if you’d be able? If not, completely understand! But I thank you again.”
“Megan is amazing! She went above and beyond for Remi and I. I appreciate her so much. Remi got super comfortable with her immediately and is happy to see her when he does. I would recommend her to anyone!”
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: Ive taken care of mostly pitbulls. I had a an adorable pitbull growing up he was the sweetest. Ive took care of puppies and helped raise them. Im currently working part time and I have a car so distance won't be a problem. I love animals so taking care of and meeting new animals is a dream come true. I can make sure the animals are stimulated correctly and pay attention to them. I will give them plenty of love and be kind to them. I will follow through on all pet parent responsibilities
“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: The go to neighbor too care for the animals. I have 5 dogs with all different needs, no job is too big or small. We all need to go potty, so I guarantee a gentle approach to get the job done! Stay at home mom, kids just started school so I have lots of extra time, love and energy to give. Furr babies are precious and need the best! I’m here to do just that Fenced yard, side yard is gated for extra protection and space for those who need space or separation. I have the doggy bags and leaches just need a doggie that needs walked!
About: Hi, my name's Isabelle! I grew up with two huskies, one mix and one full-bred rescue. Walking two huskies at once is something I learned to do, and while it wasn't easy, it was definitely rewarding! I currently have one cat of my own and help care for my father-in-law's cat, too. I miss having dogs so much that I decided to get into the dog-walking business. I would like to emphasize that I do NOT have formal training, just some experience with owning large dogs. If you want someone that'll drop in for play-time with your pups, or to take them on a good, long walk, I'm here to help! Cats also welcome! I am interested in helping local pet-owners take care of their critters, and my schedule is wide open. Please contact me a week or so in advance and we can plan your pet's care. I can drop in to play with your pet, or I can walk them. When I first meet any animal, I give them space to greet me on their terms, get my smell, and get comfortable before I move forward with any playtime or putting on a leash. I am careful to study their body language to make sure they are comfortable with me in their space. Even the friendliest dogs need a second to make a friend!
“Since this was my first time using Rover, I was a little bit nervous, but Kacie was very responsive and professional and helpful! She did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs, and I could tell from the pictures that she sent at each of the drop in visits that our dogs loved her, too! It made it so easy to not have to worry that they were being well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely use her services again!”
About: As a veterinarian, I pay close attention to detail and have a strong love for animals. I’ve worked at a luxury dog boarding facility, and currently work at an emergency veterinary clinic. Both of these jobs have given me experience in handling dogs from all different realms- hyper to shy and small to large. I treat my dogs as part of the family. I can send videos and photos of your pet too while you’re gone. I enjoy the outdoors- so if you have a young, energetic pup I can tailor walks to burn some energy, or take a slow stroll for an older dog who just needs a potty break during the day. I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week on emergency, so I will only take pets on days I'm not scheduled to work so I can devote my time to them. I have a fenced yard and a young, dog-friendly dog at my house. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have neighbors who can contact me if any emergencies occur.

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.
