“Geri is so good with our dog Winston. She has formed a bond with him. I interviewed her on a Sunday and she started two later. She really helped calm me down about leaving my boy alone. I highly recommend her.”

“Jessica is amazing. I finally was able to go away for a few days. I’m always worried about my one diabetic cat. Jessica handled everything perfectly. I will definitely be using her again now that I have the freedom to travel! FYI - She took care of all 3 fur babies!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both. I currently have five cats and a dog, have successfully potty trained two puppies, and have helped care for cats through four different births and their newborn kittens. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, so fitting in walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins comes naturally. make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe and at home while you’re away.

“Kirsty is truly an amazing dog sitter! She was attentive, responsible and completely focused on her duties. She was on time everyday, kept me updated with texts and pictures daily, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was excellent and I could tell that she cared about my pups and took her responsibilities seriously. She was also very friendly and seemed genuinely kind. I highly recommend Kirsty to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable and caring dog sitter.”

About: I have my own fur baby and I've been a caregiver for 16 years in a home full of dogs 5 to be exact. I play with them , I make sure they have food and water , I take them for walks or let them run around in the back yard and bathe as requested. I love animals. During My Daily schedule I have a 3 hour break in between clients . I'm completely free on the weekends. So I'm pretty flexible to walk your fur baby or check on them. I dont offer in home care at my home but I will gladly offer the services to your fur babies in your home and by doing that I would be checking for bathroom accident or maybe a mess they made by tearing stuff up and clean it up for you.

About: I have over 5 years experience as a Veterinary Assistant caring for pets professionally. Growing up I always had pets and have a strong understanding and love for animals. I had several cats and a dog of my own, so I am very familiar with the needs and care of pets. I have also worked frequently as a Nanny and pet sitter while the family was away. I have completed dog training classes at my college and puppy training with my own dog. I am currently taking classes online to finish my B.S. degree in Environmental Science, and am not working right now so I have plenty of time to care and give attention to your pet. I am physically fit and able to take dogs out for long walks and plenty of play time. When I am pet sitting I encourage both dogs and cats to get exercise and try to find ways to get them to play. I am reliable and will always show up for your pet during scheduled visits. I know how much they rely on the pet sitter while their family is away. I always make sure pets have clean water and fresh food, treats, love, attention, play time, walks and clean up messes. I look forward to caring for your pets while you are away.

About: I grew up with 3 dogs and had one of my dogs pregnant twice and so I took care of her puppies until they were ready to go with a new family. I’d make sure they were given to the right family. I like to walk dogs to make sure they can be active and won’t get bored. I make sure to clean up after them and make sure they’re fed. Playing with them is the best part of having dogs. Unemployed currently, but in the process of seeking employment. So I have a good amount of free time as of now. I have taken a step back from this app for a few years. Since I have more availability I’d like to come back into this and help owners to make sure their animals have a good experience with my service. I love going on a walk, I can be your dog(s) walking buddy. I do also enjoy chilling and play some toys with dogs or the cats. I’ll match their energy. As long as everyone is comfortable and happy in the end. I have a fenced backyard and front porch with screening doors. The living room has a lot of space so the dogs or cats can chill.

Palm Springs, FL, 33406

About: Driven by a deep love for animals, I’ve dedicated myself to creating safe and nurturing spaces for pets. My journey began at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience bathing, walking, and interacting with dogs daily. Since then, I’ve continued to support local dog owners by offering dependable, compassionate care for their beloved companions. I work part-time, with some days consisting of 8-hour shifts. Outside of my scheduled work hours, I’m home with the pets for most of the day and can give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My schedule varies depending on my shifts, but I do my best to maintain their routines and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I work hard to make sure every pet feels comfortable while they’re with me. I always follow their usual routine. Whether that’s sticking to specific meal times, giving medications, or anything else their owners request. They get multiple walks a day, lots of attention, and plenty of time to relax or play, depending on what they enjoy. Since I’m available most hours of the day, they’re rarely left alone. I make sure to maintain a clean household if your pet is to have any accidents. I want you to come back home in the same condition you left it as.

About: Hi, I’m Jahari — a full-time college student with real-world animal care experience, both in and out of the clinic. I currently work at a veterinary office and volunteer at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, so animal care isn’t just a side gig — it’s a passion deeply rooted in my everyday life. With 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 birds of my own, I understand how important trust, patience, and personalized care are. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a shy senior cat, or a talkative parakeet, I adapt to every pet’s unique needs and personality. I’ve also cared for exotics and farm animals, including goats, chickens, and reptiles — so if your fur baby has feathers, scales, or hooves, they’re in experienced hands. As a full-time college student and current veterinary office employee, I’ve built a schedule that balances academic goals with my passion for animal care. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, with early mornings, evenings, and weekends available for drop-in visits, walks, overnights, and even farm animal care. I also volunteer at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, so working with animals is not just a job — it’s part of my everyday life. With flexible class blocks and experience managing time across multiple responsibilities, I’m able to provide dependable, compassionate care without compromising the attention each pet deserves. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and medication — and tailor my care to their unique personality. With experience in a veterinary office, volunteering at Loggerhead, and caring for a wide range of animals (including dogs, cats, birds, goats, and more), I provide calm, reliable, and compassionate care that helps pets feel safe while you’re away.

About: Hi there pet owners!! My name is Lennon and I am 19 years old. I grew up surrounded by so many furry friends and have always been known as the animal lover in my family!! I am the owner of three amazing dogs at home back in Georgia who are truly my world. Caring for them has deepened my love and understanding of what pets need to not only be cared for, but happy, safe, and loved!! With years of pet care experience and a genuine passion for animals, I treat every pet I watch as if they were my own. You can count on me to provide reliable, responsible, and compassionate care—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company while you’re away. Your pets deserve the best, and I’m here to make sure they get it!!!🐶💖🐾 I am a college student, currently attending Palm Beach Atlantic University. My schedule is very flexible when it comes to dog walking and daily drop ins! I can do overnight stays/house sitting during the week as well, I would just need to leave for my classes (MWF= 9am - 11am and Tuesday= 9am-11am, Thursday = 9-11am and a 2-3:30 class). I also have my own transportation and can adjust my schedule accordingly given a pet owner (s) is on vacation!! When I’m caring for pets, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure they’re in a secure environment, and I treat them like I would my own dogs—with lots of love, attention, and patience. I stick to their normal routines so they feel at home, and I’m big on communication, so you’ll get updates and pictures while you’re away. Having three dogs myself, I know how much it means to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility to heart!!

This is the 2nd time I have hired Andrea to take of my cats while I was away. You really can’t ask for a better sitter. Andrea is on time for every visit, follows instructions perfectly no matter how high maintenance your cats are. She’s excellent with communication. She is the reason I come back to Rover. Thank you you taking such good care of my babies!

Jennifer was wonderful with our cat Star. She came over to babysit for a couple of hours and was attentive, kind, and clearly comfortable around animals.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lake Worth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Worth is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $38 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 3,961 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Worth. 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 Worth. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
