“We are so glad that we found Kayla. Our fur boys love her and she takes extremely great care of them and always follows up with detailed info on her visits and pictures of our boys.”

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. 🐾
“Another wonderful experience with Ralinda! This is our second time booking and she was wonderful coordinating check ins with the challenges of the whether that day. She was willing to come a little bit later due to thunderstorms in the area. Will definitely be using her again for future drop in’s!”


“Azalya was an amazing sitter for my 2 dogs, she took care of them as if they were her own, she even brought over treats and toys for my dogs to play with. I will definitely be hiring her again when I go out of town. Thank you again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was little. I have always enjoyed taking care of animals of all kinds! I kept reptiles and chinchillas growing up and also had quite a few geckos. I currently have my dog Nova and cat Ninja to take care of. I love them to pieces and that love alone has helped friends and family keep me in mind when it comes to going on fun walks, feeding, and sometimes with bathing! I was even given an award in high school voted as biggest Animal Lover. That was in 2015 and it hasn’t changed a bit! I run my own business so I’m very flexible with my time. I also have my own dog that I walk daily on a routine and with daily dog park time. We go on morning walks to the beach, she gets walked all the way to the dog park a block away and spends a lot of time outside. Pet care is and has always been apart of my daily routine! I love in an apartment and currently I am at max capacity for animals in my home, however, you can trust that your pets will be taken care of with the same love I give my own. I have worked with dogs of all ages and sizes. Whether we are going on a walk or taking them to the dog park I can handle your pets needs. I did go to school for wildlife rehabilitation and can administer most medications if need be. I am very patient and loving when it comes to all pets, so whether you have a grumpy ole pup or a shy one, I am more than happy to take my time making sure they are comfortable in my care. I have experience with most reptiles, including snakes, amphibians, geckos, and most lizards. I do not have a lot of experience with birds but I am always learning!

“Once again Bradley went above and beyond. We had already booked him for a fun getaway but we had a family emergency instead. He noticed Knox was not eating and was not his normal self. I assumed it was because Knox was anxious because we were running around like crazy trying to pack and get out the door. When I got home I monitored Knox because Bradley was so specific on Knox’s demeanor. He refused all treats which is 100% not him. He even brought different treats over for him to try. I took Knox to the vet today and he has elevated liver enzymes. I honestly don’t know if I would have taken him if Bradley had not given us the proper updates. Knox is now resting and on meds. Bradley, you are amazing and we are so grateful for you!!!!”
About: Me and my husband have taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 5 years. I have also worked at a vet clinic as a vet assistant and loved my time working there many friends and familys have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their pets while they’re away. We also have two dogs of my own—a Rottweiler and a Pit mix—so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy dogs. We have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special routines, and we always prioritize safety, patience, and love. I treat every pet as if they were our own. We currently available Monday - Friday after 5pm and all days on weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and morning and evening care. We’re so happy to help! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have experience caring for dogs in both my home and clients’ homes, and we always follow each pet’s routine closely. One of my own dogs has severe anxiety, so we very patient and attentive when it comes to helping dogs feel calm, safe, and comfortable. We take time to build trust, use positive reinforcement, and provide a quiet, loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs.
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, since I was a very young child, it ranges from cats dogs hamsters to even reptiles. All growing up I have always had dogs large and small and moving out of my parents house. I also got a cat of my own and have raised two animals by myself living out of my parents home for over 11 years now. I currently have an open schedule, I'm looking to go to school here in the spring time; but as of now I have a open schedule. As approaching your home, I will assess the environment and the fur baby when I get there and calmly assure the animal that I'm there to help and to love for them as their humans do.
“Kristina is an amazing and loving pet sitter. She is quick to respond to requests and easily made day before changes to the schedule due to our needs changing. She takes the time to get to know the needs of our pets. Most importantly the pets were happy and clearly well cared for when we got home.”


About: I have been around dogs my whole life. My dad was a dog rescuer in Puerto Rico and later on in life he started working at kennels where I learned about dog safety, living standards, and got to enjoy hanging out with dogs all day. I am currently a full time college student who loves animals. I have open availability since I do not rely on a full time job. I am doing this because of my love of animals and the amount of free time I have as a college student. When I take care of pets in my clients’ homes, I am very clean, loving, and responsible. I ensure their environment is safe and comfortable, giving pets the attention and care they deserve.
“Karla has been absolutely wonderful with Bow & Max! She’s very responsive and has great availability. I know my pups are safe and well taken care of ❤️ They are always happy in the pupdate pictures I get! Thank you Karla! 😃”

About: I'm a true animal person, and my home proves it. Sir Rocco, my 5-year-old Lab, is my shadow, and our three cats, Nala, Nico and Goldie, keep things lively. My favorite part of caring for pets is getting to know their little personalities: the dog who has to sniff every mailbox, or the cat who pretends not to care but always ends up in your lap. A while back I took in a scared, semi-feral kitten. It took time, gentle hands, and a lot of patience before he let me hold him, and now he follows me around the house. That's how I approach every pet. I let them warm up at their own pace, and I never rush a nervous one. I've cared for pets at every stage of life. I love the silly, curious energy of puppies, and I'm happy to reinforce their potty routine and good habits while you're away. Older dogs have a special place in my heart too. I'm happy to slow down for their pace, keep them comfortable, and give them extra love. I'm also experienced giving medications, whether it's a pill tucked into a treat or a set schedule, so you can trust your pet won't miss a dose. When I'm with your pet, they get my full attention. That means real walks, belly rubs, fetch, cuddles, whatever makes them happy. I'll keep their routine just the way you like it and send you photos so you can see them enjoying their day. I want you to come home to a happy, well-loved pet and feel completely at ease while you're gone. My schedule is flexible, which means I can work around what you and your pet needs instead of the other way around. Whether you need regular walks during the week, drop-in visits while you're at work, or someone to stay with your pet while you travel, just send me a message and we'll find times that work. I always give your pet unhurried, focused time, and I'll do my best to help with last-minute requests too. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I treat your home like it's my own: I follow your house rules, keep things tidy, and always lock up and double-check doors and gates before I leave. On walks, your dog stays leashed and close, and I keep an eye out for other dogs, hot pavement, and anything they shouldn't eat. At our Meet & Greet, I'll get your vet's info and an emergency contact so I'm prepared for anything. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind always come first.
“Shannon was amazing!! She was very attentive to my big puppies and I can tell she cared for them. She went above and beyond what was expected from me. Definitely someone to choose to watch your babies.”

About: I've always had dogs and cats all my life, I volunteer with Polk bully project to walk the dogs and have cared for neighbors pets for many years. I work from home and can come over during my lunch and after I get off. I don't work weekends. Happy to drop in for whatever they need. I have two cats currently and have had many different breads of dogs. I volunteer with Polk bully project to take the dogs out for a doggie day.
“Isabella did a great job taking care of our senior cat. She communicated right away when Punkin was too stressed and anxious to give her medicine. She suggested another way which worked well. The communication every day through Rover eased my mind about leaving Punkin by herself. We will definitely be using Isabella again.”

“Hope was extremely helpful while I was away on vacation. She was very kind, and sent me lots of pictures while I was away, which made me happy. She went above and beyond to care for my two cats, and they seemed really happy and cared for when I got back. I highly recommend her for pet sitting!”

About: I've loved taking care of dogs and cats for years. I absolutely love animals and provide all the attention and pet rubs they need! I can take them on walks, play with them outside, feed them, and just overall giving them a fun pet sitter experience! I drive for Uber so my schedule is very flexible, and I am pretty much available any time for your pups/cats to take care of. I’m happy to take care of your fur baby with plenty of walks, playtime, and giving them a fun time! Let me know any special details you would like for them.
“We are so grateful for Jeanna! She is a dedicated pet lover that goes above and beyond in watching our furbabies! You couldn’t choose a better sitter out there! Thank you for everything, Jeanna!! 🙏🏼❤️🐶🐶”


“Hello Rover,, I'm new to the area and just moved into my house a month ago. Needing a cat sitter, my daughter told me to look on Rover. When i first logged on to your site, I saw Jennie's kind smile and that she was close by. So I figured it would be a win win. Boy, did I get way more than I bargained for!! I don't even know where to begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for Jennie! First, I'd like to thank her for taking care of my cat under more than extreme circumstances! I never thought I could ever get such impeccable service. The story has a twist and becomes even more extraordinary. On my recent trip, on the third day I left the country. Something told me to message Jennie and let her know I could only receive messages from messenger. As I did, I asked if everything was OK. She responded "your cat is ok". This is what followed. Evidently some sort of "Super Cell" developed and decided to dump approximately 6 inches of rain in 45 minutes on my house! Jennie saw how bad the sky looked over my way and decided to make the trip over. What normally is a 5 minute ride turned into 20 due to the rain coming down so hard she couldn't see the road. Upon her arrival, the water was 6 to 8 inches above the threshold, so she didn't want to open the door. She left and came back later to find my downstairs flooded! The water had started to receed and little Miss Wonder Woman jumped into action and advised me step by step as I, near hysteria, hung on her every message, knowing I couldn't get back til Monday (this happened Friday evening !) She moved furniture and pulled out rugs as her daughter and cousin swept the water to the street. She secured my cat in the upstairs and did her best to calm her. Jennie went out and rented a rug cleaner and cleaned my large area rug ( just a cat sitter?! Whatever!!). She turned on fans and cleaned everything she could!! Not once did I ask her to do anything --- she just took care of everything. When I asked her why she did it, her response was, "That's how I was raised, you help people". At that moment I could have kissed her parents on the mouth! My cat is now healed from the trauma, still skittish, but that's to be expected. The house is getting back together, but it would have been a total loss without Jennie's help. Thank you Jennie for working so hard for 3 straight days and restoring my faith in humans , there's still good ones out there! ❤ Rover, you just don't know what you have! Sincerely, Donna Matteson”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Wales is $11 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 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 October 2026, there are 2,060 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Wales. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Wales. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 .
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. 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.
