About: I’ve dog sat for friends and fellow cast members for over 20 years! I’m truly devoted and prefer to keep your dog in its familiar surroundings. I’m a full-time Disney cast member that have scheduled Fridays and Saturdays off and would be more than happy to watch your baby over the weekend. I prefer to have the dog in its familiar environment and to have a comprehensive plan feeding, sleeping, emergency veterinarian etc. Comfort is the key word!

Mikayla was awesome. She was very thoughtful, asked questions, and made sure I had some cute pictures of my fur babies. It was a short notice trip. Mikayla was prompt, spent quality time with my dogs, made sure they were comfortable and taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone. She took care of 4 different dogs while I was gone, without any problems

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: Other than loving animals, I look forward to meeting new people and the lovely owners who built a home for their pets. I’ve also worked at a pet grooming shop where I met huge amount of dogs with different personalities. I cherished those moments even though it wasn’t easy. It taught me patience and to cherish impactful moments. This is my dream side job to take if fur babies in the most loving and safest way possible. I am currently on summer break, which gives me a very flexible schedule and open availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to provide your fur babies with consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard and plenty of space for pets to safely roam, play, and get exercise throughout the day. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine, provide constant supervision, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including senior dogs; I have assisted in caring for our large-breed senior with cancer. I bring patience, reliability, and strong attention to detail to every visit, and I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and well-being. I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for pets in my care. I plan my days around studying and part-time work, which gives me the ability to be present and consistent. Dogs in my care are always let out regularly throughout the day, and I make sure they get plenty of time for walks, exercise, play, and comfort so they feel happy and well cared for. For walks and drop-ins, I have good availability throughout the week and prioritize being punctual and consistent for every visit. I care for every pet as if they are my own, focusing on a consistent, calm, and comfortable routine. In my home, I have a relaxed senior dog, and pets are closely supervised with regular bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, I provide safe outdoor time through leashed walks and visits to a nearby neighborhood dog park (with owner approval). I’m also comfortable caring for crate-trained dogs and following any specific routines. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and playtime, and I always provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease.

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!

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.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, awareness, and attention to detail. I’m used to staying calm under pressure and paying close attention to my surroundings, which translates directly into keeping your pet safe on every walk. I’m comfortable handling strong, energetic dogs as well as more timid or older pets, and I always prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication with owners. I work full-time night shifts (6 PM–6 AM) about 14 days a month, which gives me plenty of free time during the day, as well as before and after work. This allows me to give pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I enjoy being active with animals and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions from the owner. I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and free of hazards, and I always keep a close eye on pets during walks or visits. I respect my client’s home, maintain clear communication, and ensure pets feel comfortable and stress-free while in my care.

About: I have owned both dogs and cats my entire life from 10lbs to 100+. I have no formal training but have yet to meet a dog I wasn't able to leash train with no pulling or jumping within a few sessions. I am confident and not easily intimidated with large or loud dogs which makes establishing a bond and rapport easier and quicker. Giving medication or any special needs are not an issue. My dog is my Queen so I understand special requests and also not an issue. I will go the extra mile whatever that entails, including walking an entire mile if that’s what your baby needs. Willing to come early or later if it looks like bad weather so your loved one gets the exercise they need. I prefer to meet more challenging dogs before committing to ensure I am the perfect fit. Always available to answer any questions or concerns and love to send photos so you know your pet is getting the attention they need. I recently quit my job to start my own small business which has been a success but find myself with a lot of extra time. I will have a consistent, reliable weekday schedule with varying availability on weekends. I am not able to board or sit pets in my home as it is not large enough but can easily do it in yours. My dog Mya and cat Narcissa are both treated like queens in every sense of the word and will treat yours as if they were mine. During walks I will always have plenty of cool water on hand and pay extra attention to over heating and hot pavement. I walk for as long as your dog wants or needs to during the scheduled visit time. I am not opposed to special requests like medication administration or even simple bathing for additional fee. I will always be available to communicate with, will report any issues that need attention, and send as many photos of our time together as you wish.

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years around dogs and have always had one in my home. I currently have a Toy Poodle–Havanese mix, Koda, who I’ve raised for almost 2 years. He’s friendly with both people and other dogs. I truly love caring for animals and will treat your pet like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of love! I have a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pup attention, play, and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and boarding multiple days of the week. I live in lake wales with my boyfriend and two roommates who are all comfortable around dogs. Your pet will always be supervised in a safe, clean environment. I’m attentive to frequent potty breaks and will adjust walks and care based on your dog’s needs.

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: I’ve fostered 3 dogs and helped them be rehabilitated, I believe in what’s best for pets and know they are just little babies with fur. I am mainly free all week, if I’m not shopping of course, but I spend all my time with my dog and love spoiling him. I only have Sundays and Wednesdays busy because I am a Christian and attend all the services when I can. My home is one story with a fenced backyard, it is cleaned daily and deep cleaned once a week, the backyard has a tall white fence with a ton of room for dogs to play and potty.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lake Wales on Rover is $10.7 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,024 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Wales. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake Wales stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Wales. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
