“Katie was wonderful with my cats. One of them is very timid and scared of new people and Katie went out of her way to make him feel comfortable. She was very good with communication throughout the process and I will definitely be asking her to watch th again!”
“Kenzie went above and beyond! She took care of our pup like she was her own. She was even kind enough to add on my mom’s dog last minute for the check ins. She spent so much time caring and loving on them. We came home to happier dogs then when we had left.”
“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!”
“Avery was awesome as always! She dropped in on my 2 kitties, and made sure they were loved, had food and gave them lots of attention. We will always be using her when we need care 🐈⬛🐈⬛”
“Maricel is the absolute best! She is such a great communicator and makes sure to provide very detailed cards for each visit. I feel so much better knowing Maricel is taking care of my sweet baby while I’m away. I would highly recommend her to care for their babies!”

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.

“Couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter! Kristi is super friendly and connected right away with Elliott during our meet and greet. Kristi kept me updated with how her visit was going with Elliott, what they were doing and sent pictures. I will definitely be utilizing her services again!!!”
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!

“Laurie stepped in for us last minute and was both prompt and efficient. She kept us updated throughout and sent plenty of photos of our pups while we were out of town, which we really appreciated.”
“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: 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. Thanks so much for considering me for your furry babies! I am a server working part time and am looking for a way to make a little extra money on the side doing something I love! I am available for dog walking Monday-Sunday anytime before 2:30 and available Monday-Wednesday for overnights or whatever you may need as those are my days off.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Helen
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.
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,864 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Helen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Helen. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
