“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.”
“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.”
“Matt and Jaime were absolutely wonderful with my two dachshunds! I felt completely confident leaving them in their care, and it was clear from the beginning that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and very loved. They made sure they got plenty of playtime, attention, and lots of love. I was especially impressed with how clean they left the house, even though Athena unexpectedly started going into heat while I was away, which I was completely unprepared for! They handled everything so well, and I truly appreciate their patience and care. Thank you so much, Matt and Jaime, for taking such great care of my babies and for giving them so much love. I would absolutely trust them with my dogs again and highly recommend them! ❤️🐾”
“I am very happy I met Stephanie. She is responsible, competent and reliable. My cat seemed comfortable and happy with Stephanie which is most important. I hope to continue to see more of her.”
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!
“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!”
About: What sets me apart is the care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at ease. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pets like family. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility and allows me to dedicate extra time to caring for pets, especially during weekends when I’m available for house sitting. I’m responsible, attentive, and love giving pets plenty of companionship, playtime, walks, and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow their feeding, medication, walking, and bedtime schedules as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard, which provides a safe and convenient space for pets to get fresh air, play, and exercise when staying in my home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their home and make sure their pets are comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication if needed, and regular photo updates. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving their owner peace of mind!
“Such a lovely person, she makes me feel completely at ease when it comes to taking care of my husky Belle. I’m grateful she’s been available when needed, life can get crazy and I so appreciate her kindness, care, and flexibility.”
“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.”
“Tammy is very responsible, has great communication skills, and treat my babies like they are hers. This is the second time I booked her services and I'm completely satisfied. She is always in time, and pay attention to the little things, even the things she doesn't have to. I 100% recommend her.”
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.
About: I have cared for cats, dogs, and more over the years. I have experience with numerous breeds of dogs and cats. I have cared for animals hours old to their last moments. I believe in treating animals with dignity and respect and will do so with your pets. I am a disabled veteran working on my health care currently. I am available most of the time even at last minute notice, but not all the time. I believe in play with any critter. Walks, play, pets, love, just hanging out watching each other. Whatever it is that your pet likes, I am happy to provide it. They enrich our lives so I do my best to enrich theirs!
“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: 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.
“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.”

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!
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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Helen is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,884 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Helen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
