House Sitting in Lake Watkins, Lakeland, FL

“Between 2 dogs and taking care of my dad, vacation seemed impossible. Until I found Josh on Rover. He came over twice to meet the pups before we left. He gave updates, sent pictures, videos and took the best care of them. Great communication, trusting, always on time and very professional. I can’t say enough. Thank you Josh. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Christian is the best. He made us feel so comfortable that beau was taken care of and sent lots of updates and pics! We will definitely book him again.”

“Kenny took care of our three dogs and one cat for a week while we were on vacation and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. His attention to each pet's needs, the way he engaged with each of them, his patience with our 17 year old spicy chihuahua (with special needs) was more than I could have hoped for. Kenny was always communicative, sent lots of pictures, asked all the questions you hope your sitter will ask, and took amazing care of our pets and our home. Having him care for our crew made our vacation so much more enjoyable because I knew I didn't need to worry about how things were going at home. Honestly - if I could give Kenny more than 5 stars, I would - he's the best!”

“Luciano took very good care of Max and sent nice photos. He also made a very clever video with his making doggy noises that resulted in Max cocking his heads and looking just adorable. I would hire him again without reservation as he is a very nice responsible, young man.”

“I'm very cautious of leaving my dog in someone else's care due to age and on going medical conditions. Mickey made me feel comfortable leaving my best friend in her care. She was very diligent in administering his daily meditation and special food on schedule. I would recommend her as a responsible person to care for your home and pet.”

“I hired Rachelle to house sit with my Corgi for Labor Day weekend. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. I would love to use her again in the future!”

“Cristina does an amazing job! Cannonball is always excited when Cristina comes over to play. Very dependable, great communication, and lots of pictures!”

“Maritza was wonderful with my Great Dane named Mac. Due to my busy schedule, there’s times I needed someone to feed him and get his energy out during the day and Maritza was always happy to do it! Mac loves her and she has become a part of his daily routine a few times a week. There is no one I would trust more to handle him and care for him when I’m unable. Thank you Maritza!”

“Kathy took care of my senior pup and gave him lots of love. He needed medication and is on a special diet and she made sure he didn’t miss a dose and ate well…even treats! She even moved where she was sleeping when she noticed he was pacing and anxious when it was bed time. I would highly recommend Kathy!!”

About: I wholeheartedly believe that dogs make our lives better, not only emotionally but physically! They can cheer you up when you’re feeling down and sometimes they end up taking you on a walk instead of the other way around! Give a dog the kind of attention and love they give you and they will be happy and healthy also! My dog has made me feel better and I believe that dogs have emotional needs too! I love to work out and dogs deserve to get exercise too! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have seen the benefits from simply getting daily exercise and social interaction! I have even been helping take care of dogs that my roommates are asked to watch at my house so I have even more experience with how Rover works and how to take care of dogs! hi my name is samantha and i am a sophomore at southeastern university! i absolutely love all dogs and will smile at the just the sight of one:) i truly believe that dogs make humans lives better! dogs bring so much joy and love into a home and i’ve experienced that in my own life growing up with dogs! they know when your sad and need cheering up, and i’ve come to realize that they need us just as much as we need them! your dog needs love and attention, and that’s where i come in! simply taking your dog on a walk or visiting during the day to provide physical activity is what i can offer! i want to provide your pet with the care it needs to live a happy and healthy life! i’m just a college girl who loves dogs but can’t afford one of my own yet. i would love to be your dog walker or pet sitter and i have plenty of free time to do so! i am available in the afternoons during the week and all day saturday! I am very patient and give great care to dogs who are more scared and sensitive to new environments and people. I want to make each pet feel comfortable with me and with their environment.

About: * DISCOUNT APPLIED FOR MY FIRST 5 ROVER CLIENTS* Hello!! My name is Primrose, I might be new to Rover but I'm not knew to caring for your pet! As we all know every pet owner wants a reliable and trustworthy individual to truly leave their fur babies in safe hands and as someone whom had my own pets in my family home I myself can relate! My background of animals is what I like to call the generational love for animals; As my mother grew up with many pets in her childhood due to my grandma's love for having pets and my maternal genetics allowed me to discover my own passion for pet-care. In my neighborhood growing up I flourished with different experiences from puppies and cats to pigs and hedgehogs. Now I currently study at Polk State College to become a future veterinarian and when I'm not learning about animals I would love the opportunity to care for animals, gain even more experience with different pet personalites, and begin this journey with you! learning about pet care at college as a full-time student and looking forward to implementing taking care of pets in my every day life for more experience. Growing up I used to walk dogs for my local neighbor consistently, this experience of bond building allowed me to research into everything about proper pet care, and was useful to when my family got their own pet kitten (Khato!)

“Absolutely fantastic!”
