About: I have 3 years of veterinary experience with dogs and cats but a lifetime of love/passion for animals. I’d be happy to give you peace of mind that your fur babies are well cared for. Due to my work schedule & having fur babies of my own, I am available on weekends to be sure your pets are safe and happy. I’d be glad to do a meet n greet with you & your fur babies to be sure we’re a good fit. I want to be sure you’re comfortable and they are too! I’m very reliable, have great attention to detail and time management.
“We just booked Nicole to stay with our two labradors while we were out of state, and she did a wonderful job with them! She spent so much time with them, letting them to their usual puppy things like swimming in the pool, going for walks, and lounging. She sent photos and videos regularly, responded right away when messaged, and offered to drop in on the last day for potty break before we got home. We would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking to have their furry family cared for!”
“Natalia was truly the BEST Rover sitter we could have ever hoped for. From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, thoughtful, and caring — and she treated our home and fur babies like they were her own. We have three dogs and a cat, and every single one of them was so loved and well cared for while we were away. One of our pups ended up having an unexpected flea issue and was super itchy while she was staying with them, and Natalia immediately stepped in and handled everything with so much care and compassion. She bathed all three dogs, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated every step of the way. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. On top of taking amazing care of the animals, she went completely above and beyond with our home. She did laundry, swept, cleaned, remade the bed, and left the house better than we left it. You can genuinely tell she is the kind of person who respects and cares for other people’s space. Natalia is kind, trustworthy, attentive, responsible, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We felt so comfortable having her in our home and caring for the members of our family we love most. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Anyone looking for a sitter who will love your pets deeply, communicate wonderfully, and care for your home with incredible respect should book her immediately. She is an absolute gem and we would trust her again in a heartbeat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Natalie was wonderful. We were in town vacationing & we felt very comfortable leaving our little Frenchie with her. We had never used a sitter or Rover, & she couldn’t have made it easier. 100% recommend!”
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!
“I can’t say enough good things about Christina and her family They took such good care of my boy. He was happy and tired when I picked him up. Lots of photos showing big hugs Long walks I wouldn’t hesitate calling them again and leaving Crowley with them You won’t regret it either”
“Brittany is an amazing dog sitter!! She’s so sweet and put my mind at ease right away. Brittany loves animals, she took great care of my pup and my house. She also took pics and videos so I could see what my baby was up to. Don’t hesitate, you can trust her with your fur baby! My vaca was stress free knowing my dog was in great hands with Brittany.”
“This was our first booking with Jordan and she was great! She stayed at our house for 5 days with the dogs. Was on time and was with the dogs the majority of the time we were gone. Sent photo updates as well. House was nice and in order when we returned. Would recommend.”
About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old and I’ve been around family with dogs since before then. I took care of my aunt and uncle’s Great Dane multiple times and me and him created a great bond. Animals naturally gravitate towards me and I really enjoy it. I love getting closer with animals and building relationships with people. I’m a student athlete at CGTC so I have to my sure school and football is taken care of. But between classes during the day I am available and at night as well. And weekends shouldn’t be a problem either. I will take care of exactly what you need me to do with the animal and try to nurture a bond in the process. Whatever objectives are given to me I will do my best to meet those expectations and go beyond wherever I can!
“Kim is a trustworthy and responsible pet and house sitter. During the week she walked the dogs regularly and sent updates with pictures of the dogs. I really appreciate that Kim was able to handle and care for three large dogs ( two German Short-haired Pointers and one Belgian Malinois). Thank you Kim!”
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.
“Sharon is absolutely phenomenal! She’s trustworthy and cares for your fur baby as if they were her own. She follows instructions carefully and keeps you updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and videos. I trust her completely for both pet and house sitting. Her genuine love for dogs shines through in every interaction, and her joyful spirit is always on full display.”
“Marisa did an amazing job with our pups over the weekend! we will definitely be using her services again! She made sure to send us pictures and updates throughout the weekend of our dogs. She also cleaned everything that was used and I think thats just going beyond her job! it was amazing!”
About: I have worked as a pet sitter for 3 years taking care of various types of animals in people's homes before moving to Florida. I walked, fed, cleaned and documented everything that was done. We provided very personal service to our clients. I am flexible and available anytime. When not pet sitting I am taking care of our animals on our small farm, this allows me to keep a very open schedule. I treat everyone's home with absolute respect and courtesy. I am very comfortable with alarm and garage codes and document everything I do with your pet. I am willing to take short videos with the time spent with your pet to ensure you see their happiness.
About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds my entire life and understand the love and care necessary for them to feel safe and supported. I am honored to care for your pets while you care for you. I am currently working part time and typically have morning and evening availability daily. I am most available Fridays through Mondays though my schedule can wax and wane. I will prioritize caring for your pets in your home or through drop in/walking services. I prioritize maintaining your pets’ routines and helping them feel safe.
About: My love for animals started when i was a little girl. I grew up on a farm that had multiple dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it. I am open to any kind of dogs or cats, no matter the age or size. I am willing to work around my schedule to accommodate you in any way possible. My care for pets grows more and more each day. I can understand how hard it can be to find someone you can rely on to tend to your pets needs and wants. Not only are they pets, they’re also considered family. Their needs will be tended to if i’m given the opportunity to do so.
About: With a lifelong dedication to animal care, I bring both genuine passion and hands on experience to every pet I look after. I specialize in caring for pets with special requirements, including administering oral medications, managing ongoing health conditions, and providing the extra attentiveness that some animals need to truly thrive. Some personal information about myself: My household includes 2 dogs, 2 cats, chickens, and goats. I’m very comfortable with animals of all kinds and needs. Professional experience: My background is in elderly hospice care. It has been foundational to how I work. It instilled in me a disciplined, attentive approach to caregiving. Showing up consistently, reading subtle cues, and maintaining a calm presence aren't just nice to have, they're essential. I apply that same standard of care to every animal entrusted to me. Schedule: Currently studying at Daytona State College, my schedule is built around flexibility. That means no rushed visits and no divided attention. Your pet will receive consistent, reliable care that fits seamlessly around their routine. When staying in your home, I treat every pet as my own. Here's what that looks like day to day: 🦴 Feeding & Medication Schedules and instructions followed precisely, every time. 🦮 Dog Walks Multiple walks throughout the day based on your dog's needs. 🐈 Cat Care Litter boxes kept clean and routines maintained. 👀 Attentive Observation I monitor behavior and body language closely, catching early signs of discomfort, anxiety, or anything out of the ordinary.
About: I’ve cared for my own pets and helped family and friends with theirs, including feeding, walking, and spending time with them. I’ve also gained experience working with medication administration and behavioral issues. I make sure pets feel comfortable, stick to their routines, and get the attention they need while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have open availability and stay active. I can adjust my schedule to meet pets’ needs, including walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. I care for pets by following their usual routines, keeping their environment clean and safe, and giving them attention and exercise. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow instructions closely, and make sure pets are comfortable and secure.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Kathryn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,977 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Kathryn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lake Kathryn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Kathryn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Kathryn 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
