About: I have been dog sitting for others for many years. I now have a dog of my own for the last 4 years and he is my world. I have a flexible schedule so it makes it easy for me to drop in between appointments. I work for myself and able to make my own schedule. This makes it easy to drop in for a visit or take your pet for a walk. I have a fenced yard for my dog and always use a leash when he is not in the yard. I do not leave him unsupervised in the yard just to make sure he does not eat something he is not supposed to.

Friends and family would always reach out to me to care for their furred ones! I absolutely enjoy spending time with them and who wouldn’t want a new fur-friend?!💕 Availability: Flexible hours for occasional dog sitting gigs, especially on weekends and evenings. Am willing to open up availability hours in the near future! Thank you! I have a ton of yard space for our fur-friends to play! As well as all types of food! And we can’t forget about the treats!!

About: I have 9 years of dog sitting experience. I’ve taken care of small dogs and big dogs. I take the time to learn their unique personalities and make it the best time possible. Im am currently available from Monday-Friday, and selected weekends. I am currently working from home, so I have flexibility in my schedule. I am also flexible on holidays. I’ve had experience taking out dogs for potty breaks, feeding time, walks and play time. Always being mindful and having them leashed on the streets for safety precautions. At home I always ask of any particular routines, where do they potty, sleep and eat. Also of any behaviors I should be aware for the pets safety and mine. I do ask to be informed about any medications or food they are not allowed to have. All of this to assure the best care for your pet.
About: I am a lifelong dog lover and 27 year certifified Canine 4 Companions puppy trainer with over 40 successfully raised puppy "graduates" who are now currently helping their human companions to cope with blindness, seizures, and emotional trauma all over the US. This along with 11 years as a pet sitter has given me valuable experience working with dogs of all sizes, shapes, and personalities. As a dog mama myself ( of Coops the 14 year old Beagle and a 7 pound poodle mix named Toby). I know how hard it is to leave your babies for a long vacation or even just a long with day. This is why as a sitter I make it my mission to give owners peace of mind of knowing their baby is safe, happy, and healthy through 24/7 communication availability, photo updates (we even Facetime!) as requested, and consistent reliability and professionalism. It's much easier to leave for a trip or day at work knowing your dog is home with someone who treats them with the same love, respect, and care as her own fur babies. If we get the chance to work together, I promise to treat your home and pup with the same respect and cuddles I give my own and am happy to send as many photos and updates as you need :) I currently work part-time, and am able to make my own schedule. This allows me to prioritize your pets needs and routine while you are away. I plan to follow all instructions while visiting a client's home, and if preferred, I am happy to provide updates in photos as often as needed so that you feel comfortable.
“Kristina did a great job taking care of my cat Amelia.. she always sent pictures and updates, so I knew she was getting some play time along with her food and cleaning. Came home to a happy, healthy kitty.. thank you!!!”
About: I have always had multiple cats and dogs growing up, I have experience since 8 years old, bottle feeding, fostering, and caring for senior pets. I currently have 10 rescue animals of my own: 2 dogs, 5 cats, 2 bunnies, and 1 large turtle who lives in an in-ground pond I built in our backyard. I truly love helping care for animals and will treat your babies just like my own! I have a super flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Long walks, fetch out back, or a cuddle inside—I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and comfortable before I leave. I am always extremely cautious entering and exiting homes, so no worries about escape artists! I never bother an animal who doesn’t want affection and will be as patient as necessary to build a bond. I do my best to match the energy of your pet to keep them as comfortable as possible.
About: Lover of all breeds, I am a stay at home dog mom with lots of time on my hands to bring patience and a gentle touch to dog sitting. I am very skilled in training and flexible with time, I prioritize clear communication with pet owners for their peace of mind. I’d love to care and love on your fur babies 🐾🤍 Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I have the flexibility to dedicate my time to it. I currently have weekend availability and full holiday availability! I currently don’t have any other job and about to prioritize pet care full time. At home, I ensure my pets' safety by creating a trusting environment. I pay close attention to their needs and provide a secure space for them to eat, sleep and play. This routine and environment helps to build trust and a safe haven for them.

About: I grew up with large dog breeds my whole life. The first pet of my own as an adult was a 1.5 year old German shepherd/siberian husky mix with a lot of resource guarding tendencies. He has taught me so much about communicating with dogs and working around their comfort. I am used to walking a large, reactive dog with no trouble. I am also a new cat mom in the recent year and have a new love for felines too! :) I lost my job of 3.5 years and struggling to find something that fits into my life with my wife’s recent cancer diagnosis and treatment regimen. I can make myself available any day or any time and appreciate the flexibility pet sitting and walking will provide me. Proper equipment is necessary to ensure safety of your dogs on walks. I won’t utilize any equipment I’m not familiar with and properly trained in
“We're very fortunate to have found Claudia! Being new pet owners & new to the area we didn't know where to begin to find a sitter for our Travis. Claudia made the entire experience a very easy & pleasant one for our family! She was very attentive to Travis and kept in contact the entire time with us. We came home to a very happy pup, thank you Claudia!”
About: I’m a dependable, caring animal lover who knows that your pets are family. I’ve spent my life caring for animals and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog or cat. I don’t think of myself as purely a cat person or a dog person; I love them both! I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your fur kid loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior kitties who need a little extra care. I’ve taken care of my pets when they’re ill, from giving pills to giving subcutaneous fluids. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and will send regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is getting the best care. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! I’m semi-retired and have a ton of free time, which I will happily spend taking care of your beloved cats and/or dogs, attending to all their needs, even if it’s just lots of cuddles. I’m a loving cat (and dog) mom. I love nothing more than petting my cat while relaxing and getting him to purr. I make sure he has a healthy diet and doesn’t overeat, although he gets treats occasionally.
“Ashland is absolutely the best care giver for pets! We are beyond grateful for finding her! She is incredibly sweet and her love for animals is amazing. Thank you for sharing all the photos and information from your visits.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Mary
Noelle was a God send! We found her on Rover for drop ins during a holiday weekend when our usual neighbors reminded us close to our trip that they would be away this time around. Long story short, it's not easy to find someone willing to befriend our 140 pound GSD, although he is friendly once he gets to know you, his size and timid behavior can easily intimidate strangers. Noelle knew exactly how to act, behave and treat our doggies at the meet and great and my pups instantly made friends with her. She was super responsive, respectful, completed all of the check ins timely and fully! I felt so at ease on our trip knowing she was handling it all! I cannot say enough great things of Noelle. Even going above and beyond to play with them, clean up their muddy paws, and ensure they were loves and comfortable while their Hoomans were gone. Thank you so so so so much Noelle! ❤️😊 Our fur babies have a new friend and we definitely would recommend your services for good! 😁
Billy did a wonderful job with Chloe! She warmed up to him so well. Billy made sure to keep me updated with every walk and sent me plenty of photos. We’ll totally be booking with him again for our next trip and making sure to let our friends in the area know about Billy’s services ❤️
Adriana is the best! She’s a great communicator and is so reliable which is such a relief when you’re far away from your pets. She is so good with our two big dogs and our cat, they love her! She’s accommodating with medications/ food prep/ walking schedules. I can’t recommend her more!
Brianna was wonderful! She was always punctual and did a great job keeping me updated after each visit. I really appreciated the detailed notes and photos—it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of her. I would absolutely recommend Brianna to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter, and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️

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.
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 Mary 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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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.

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.
