“We’re so grateful to have found Tiffany to care for Hank while we were away. She’s an excellent communicator, and we truly appreciated the detailed updates and photos she sent throughout our trip. Hank looked happy and well cared for in every picture, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. We will absolutely be booking with Tiffany again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Jacki was absolutely wonderful and made our very first time using Rover so easy and stress-free. She went above and beyond with Simba and Milo. Keeping us updated with detailed notes, fun stories about their playtime, and even little extras like running the dishwasher. Her updates really eased our anxiety while we were away and made us feel completely comfortable that our cats were in great hands. We could tell Simba and Milo loved her company! We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”

About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. Since I was very small, I've connected easily with all dogs, and felt a lot of love and kindness towards them. Besides taking care of my own dogs throughout my life, I also have experience with dogsitting for friends and family. At home, I have 2 boxer lab mixes who I love dearly. Some people are a "people person"; I am a "dog person" and have always been. I love to care for dogs and make them feel loved and nurtured. Whether it's walking, bathing, feeding, or playing fetch with your dog - I promise to be a thouhtful and compassionate helper. My schedule is extreamly flexible. I'm a college student; responsible, reliable, and dependable. I will have plenty of time for dog-sitting, dog-walking, house-sitting, and other dog related activites. I am comfortable meeting whatever needs your dog might have. Whether letting them out to run in the yard, taking them for walks, or making a trip to the park; I am ready and willing to keep your dog's world as stable, dependable and joyful as possible. I am comfortable accommodating special needs like administering medications and following diet and exercise routines. My goal is to make sure your dog thrives.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including 2 senior dogs and 2 puppies. I currently have 2 dogs of my own—a Pit Bull and a Lab—as well as a cat. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. 🐾 I have 2 dogs and a cat that I care for daily. You let me know what needs to be done and I can do it. I can keep pets separated or I can crate an animal, if preferred. I will care for the animal however you are most comfortable with.

“Mya was fantastic. She stepped in at the drop of a hat to help us out after our previous sitter had gone MIA while we were out of town. Her communication was FANTASTIC - she was prompt, attentive, left detailed notes of her visits and sent so many photos! We were so grateful to her for not only her great care of our two pups, but also the level of responsiveness and care that we received from her. If we ever go out of town again, I will certainly contact Mya and would recommend her to anyone!!”

About: I have genuine hand on experience with a multitude of animals and their needs. I feel comfortable giving medication as needed, taking an animal out on walks or to a pet store. I keep the pet on routine with what they normally know, trying to cause as little disruptions as possible. I make sure to give the dog space at their home so they know they are safe with someone new while they warm up to me. Because I’m already tuned into the needs of animals 24/7, adding another pet to the mix feels natural and exciting—not like extra work. Whether it's sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or just giving lots of love and attention, I'm already doing those things daily, and I genuinely enjoy it. I offer overnight pet care, weekend or extended stay care, and per request care. I get a good pet profile from the owner so I know about the animal before meeting them and know what to do to make them comfortable or what to look for if needed. I offer day before meets so the pet can get comfortable meeting me before pet care starts. If I do single services, I will make sure the pet has their basic needs met before leaving, as well as any additional requests that might be needed. All owners also get updates on their pet, as well as when pet care is over for the day/ booking if I leave before they arrive.

About: I am a supervisor at an animal rescue where we frequently leash walk out dogs. I do daily care and give daily medications to dogs every day. I also bring my own bags to clean up after dogs on walks. If your dog is not totally leash trained I can help with that! I can give work references with how I care for animals. I know it can be hard trying to find someone who you can trust with your pet, since they are part of the family, but I can be your girl. I will treat them as if they are my own. It’s a huge part of my life so it has just become second nature to me. I just schedule everything and make sure I give myself enough time for each animal. I always start off by having them go potty, either a walk or in a fenced yard. Of course check the pets water and make sure there are no messes to clean.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.

He also took time to play with the younger one. Visits were always on time. Will gladly rebook him to look after my dogs for my next trip.”

About: I've had numerous pets throughout my life including dogs, cats and even a lizard. I currently have two cats in and a bearded dragon. I love animals and enjoy caring for them! At this time I am in-between jobs so my schedule is open. I am available at any time unless one of my kids has an event then I will block out that time frame. My cats eat once a day, and I fill their bowls every morning. My bearded dragon has salad in the mornings, and whatever protein of the day in the afternoon/evening. I am available to do the same for other fur babies and would gladly take dogs for walks to get some steps in! I prioritize the safety of not just my own animals, but all animals I encounter. I adore animals and wish I could help them all.

About: I’m a fur mama of 4 beautiful babies! I’ve had a dog/pets since I was a toddler. I love all animals. They’re honest, loyal and good, thru and thru. I was a professional dog bather at my part time job after my long career at Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. All animals love me, some take a second to warm up, but I love earning their trust. My main girl that passed last June I wear in an urn necklace right next to the charm with my own mother’s ashes. I have so many stickers on my truck of my babies and anything fur baby related. One says, abuse an animal, go to jail. I couldn’t agree more, unless there’s a harsher punishment available, then I choose that. Animals are my life. Anything I can do for any animal in need, I’m doing it. And doing it with love. With that, I give you my word. Pet care IS my life. At work. Definitely at home with our 5 fur babies, and if I see a baby in need, I jump at the chance to help. Pet care is an honor and it brings me so much happiness and joy in my heart. Honestly, I wait on them hand and foot, and I love it. Any need, any time, I’m on it! And nothing could make me happier. I live to love and care for them. And I do it well. It’s my gift.

“Caitlin was wonderful at taking care of my two spoiled enormous dogs! This is the first time we've used a pet sitter and we will be using Caitlin's services in the future. The dogs were more relaxed being at home and frankly I was relaxed on vacation. She gave them medicine they needed and kept us updated with lots of pics and it was truly a great experience.”

Madison did a great job taking care of my dogs while I was out of town. I came home to them happy, healthy, and well cared for. She made sure they got their walks in and went above and beyond by drying them off afterward when needed. She even helped bring in my mail while I was gone. I really appreciate the extra effort and peace of mind she gave me. Madison rocks, and I’d definitely recommend her!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lake Tapawingo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Tapawingo is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 2,517 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Tapawingo. 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 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 Tapawingo. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
