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 am retired and on a self love journey and I want to share that with animals and spend my days petting them and make them behave when needed. 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!
“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!”
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 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.
“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.”
“Kali took great care of our cat while we were away! She's a great communicator and made sure we got lots of updates and pictures. We will definitely work with her again in the future.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lake Helen is $20

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.

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 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.

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
