“Kayla was amazing, she really put me at ease about leaving my pets for the week. She provided updates and pictures with every visit and she even won over my anxious cat who normally hides with new people!”

“Stephanie was great and gave us updates for each day we were out of town. She also was willing to stop by to meet our dog first to make sure she was a good fit before we left as our dog doesn’t always do well with new people”

“I contacted Emily pretty last minute she was very accommodating and was able to drop in and care for my three monsters. This was my first time using the service so of course I was nervous, she was great really allowed us to relax and enjoy our time knowing our babies were being well cared for. I will definitely use her again and definitely recommend her if you are looking for a reliable sitter. 🐾🐕🦺🦮🐶”

About: I have loved animals my whole life. I wanted to be a vet growing up but I couldn't do it because of the sadness of them being sick, so I settled on being a teacher instead. I have consistently had dogs for the last 10 years. My oldest dog has been through 3 training classes and has his good citizens certificate. I currently have 4 dogs and each of them were puppies when I adopted them. I have animal sat for many friends and family throughout the last 15 years. I am a teacher and my daily schedule is 8:30-4:15. I would be able to care for your animal before school and after school and any time later at night. During the summer and any break from the Polk County Schools calendar I am available all day long. I have 4 dogs already, so I am more than happy to come and care for your pets in your home. I know my dogs are more comfortable to be in their own home than a new environment. I will speak with you beforehand and find out what makes your animals most comfortable while you are gone (e.g. music on, tv on, special toys, lights left on or off) I also have no problem bringing in your mail, trash cans, or watering your plants while you are gone. I will send pictures so you know your animals are happy and well while you are gone. I will care for your animals as if they were my own!

“Bradley did an awesome job with our 3, 50+ lb dogs! He came over for a meet and greet because our pack can be a little protective and they warmed up to him immediately! Our female even laid by his feet most of the time which surprised us! We always got updates right on time with pictures of each pup and he even brought our mail inside off the porch one day. We were very happy to have found Bradley right in our neighborhood especially when our original dog plans fell through less than 24 hours before we left for vacation!”

“From the start, Ralinda was very responsive. She took wonderful care of our fur babies while my family and I went on vacation. Although it was hard to respond, Ralinda continued to keep me updated with photos, and I did my best to respond when I could. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you so much Ralinda!!!!”

“I had a great experience with Arelis watching my cat, Carter. She cared for him over seven days with drop-in visits and was very communicative the entire time. She consistently checked in with updates and made sure I knew Carter was doing well, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Carter was well taken care of, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely trust Arelis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”

“Crystal was the perfect match for my 3 girls! She was so sweet and I loved getting pictures/updates from her while I was away it definitely put my mind (& heart) at ease! Will definitely book her again! ?”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals since I was young! I have experience with your average house pets and exotic pets. I’m a vet tech so I’m more then capable of feeding walking and medicating if needed. I’m currently working as a vet tech but have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby during the day, mornings, and nights. I love to play with all the fur babies. I am very respectful of clients wishes. I can play, crate, or even trim nails and give “spa days” if needed.
About: I have cared for many pets my whole life! I’ve taken in feral litters of cats and helped raise them until they were able to be adopted, I have cats, and help with the care of 4 dogs of varying sizes. I have had cats and all types of dogs growing up! I love making sure furry family feels loved, and gets taken care of. I am just starting out, however Rover is my full time job. I use this platform so I can still care for my little brother on the weekends. Some people have help with Rover, but I am working solo so please be patient with me. I have a fenced in portion of the yard just for our dogs to run around as they please, they have set meal times and have constant access to love and snuggles! My cats also get all the love and playtime they want.
About: Hi there! I’ve been raised with animals all my life and have fond memories caring for my sweet pets. I grew up with cats and dogs around me and still enjoy playing with them today. I regularly take care of my family’s dog when vacations arise and I’m happy to meet new dogs and extend that same care to them. 🤗🐾 I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to make visits to your home whenever is best for your dog. 💗 I’ll gladly send you pictures and video updates while your dog is in my care and I am happy to play with them with any of their favorite toys. 🐶 I love languages. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and American Sign Language and I’m also currently learning French. I’d be happy to communicate with you in any of those and also speak to your dog in whatever language you use at home as well. 🤟 I’m a stay at home mom so I’m pretty flexible for visits and for in-home care. I’m mostly always home aside from quick errands and church services. 🤗 In my home, I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can be comfortable running around and playing with us. We also love to take walks. 🤗 If you want me to visit your dog at home, you can feel comfortable knowing they will be at ease in their space as I care for them based on their needs. 🐾
About: I’ve owned pets my whole life! I currently have one cat who is like my child. I grew up caring for gerbils, dogs, Guinea pigs, rabbits and fish as well. I love animals and truly enjoy their company - I’d love to have the chance to meet and care for yours! I’m an attentive and affectionate owner and caregiver to all kinds of pets, both big and small. I have experience administering medication as well, my childhood cat was diabetic so I have lots of experience with injectable medication. I’m very flexible schedule wise! I currently work part time and set my own hours, but I mostly work evenings. I spend as much time with my pets as possible. I prefer afternoon bookings, but I can do nights as well. I currently can’t host in my own house due to animal restrictions! I’m available for drop-ins and house sitting. I’m a very clean person and always respect other peoples spaces. I’m very competent and have no issue following whatever instructions you give me regarding how you need your pet cared for.
About: I do well with all age ranges. The vast majority of animals seem to trust me. I've worked with dogs, cats, small mammals, farm animals and birds. They all remain calm and responsive in my presence. I'm currently available F/T, but will be attending school this Autumn and working P/T during the week. After 08/28/2023 I will only be available on evenings and weekends. While my yard has a boarder fence, it is not enclosed. I will always use leashes when taking dogs, or other animals outside of the house. I maintain clean water and food at all times. I interact with them regularly. If checking on pets at your house, I always make sure they are safe, have clean water and food, clean littboxes, and play with them to maintain social skills.
About: I am a dog lover who is usually home full time, I like to take dogs for walks multiple times a day to make sure they are not always bored at home and to make their stay with me better (weather it’s an hour or a month) I have experience with any size dog, and I can provide them with special care if necessary (grooming, nail clipping, shower, etc) Dogs usually like me because I am energetic, patient and spoil them once in a while, I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs as well, so the dog’s age is not an issue. I’m sure your dog will enjoy my company because I always strive for the best and my goal is to make your pet feel at home.
“Claire did a great job with the 2 visits to care for my cats this week while I was on a "staycation" nearby. My 2 cats did some hiding (no surprise) but the older one did come out on the 2nd visit and showed his face! Claire will be back soon and I have full confidence in leaving my babies under her care while I am away!”
“It’s always hard leaving the fur children at home, but knowing that they were being checked on, made us feel less guilty about going on Vacation. Karina always let us know that they were ok. She kept them fed and hydrated and kept the litter cleaned. Thanks Karina, we will call you again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lake Wales on Rover is $10.7 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 900 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lake Wales. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Wales. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
