“Thank you so much for taking great care of Lilo. When I picked up my Lilo she wagged her tail and it gave me a sigh of relief because I knew she had a great time. I will be using them again for any occasion if Lilo needs to be taken care of. I’m happy I chose you. Thank you!”
“Wilson spent his first night away from family in a long time but he was very well taken care of and loved like he was home. Usually when he's away he doesn't eat much but Megan said he ate all his breakfast and went outside to play. She really does a great job with him.”

About: I'm easy to get along with and have the right amount of energy for any size pet. I'm able to take care of any of your pets needs. I've owned plenty of animals like dogs and cats and I've grown up learning how to react to a bunch of different situations and the body language of all kinds of animals. I'm currently a stay at home mom of 3 and looking to help out while also making a bit of side money. I'm good at keeping animals of all shapes and sizes under control and calm when needed. I also have a bit of knowledge in vet associated subjects. I have a good memory of routines and what pets like and specific instructions from owners. I'm a stay at home mom of 3 so besides days of the kiddos appointments I'm free all day almost everyday any time! I have a decent sized fenced in backyard with no escape holes for anyone's little escape artists! We currently do not have any pets so there's no problem if your babies don't like other animals but they do have to be okay with kids under 5, besides a train my place is pretty anxious dog friendly!
“Kimberly was amazing! She communicated quickly and efficiently, sent us photo updates everyday, and overall made our dogs feel like they were her own. I can’t recommend her enough! It was so nice going out of town and feeling like we didn’t have to worry about our pups - we knew they were in great hands!”
“Karla was the absolute best with keeping our Yen calm, and comfortable. She normally have the hardest time settling in to new environment however Karla made sure I had some peace of mind while on my work trip. Will recommend to all my family and friends and will continue to book with Karla every time! Thank you a million times again!”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and know they’re part of the family. I have a 5 year old French Bulldog named Bruno, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with lots of love, attention, and care, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, or cuddles, your pet will never feel like they’re being left alone for long. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I do not have a fenced yard, I have access to a community dog park, which is available as an option with your approval for dogs who enjoy socializing and playing. I also have a friendly 5 year old French Bulldog. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeland
This was my first time using Marty. She was such an absolute pleasure. She’s warm, friendly, and absolutely loves dogs. When I walked in, she had little beds made for them. Absolutely adorable. She sent photos with special designs, communicate communicated well, and went above and beyond. I’ll definitely use her again!
This was our first time using Rover so I was very nervous. We all know our pets are our babies! Our Zoro fell in LOVE with Danieris and Julia instantly and that alone calmed my nerves. They sent updates the whole time and expressed how much they enjoyed him. I would book with them everytime if I have the choice.
Cherisse took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away for a few days. One of my dogs has separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, eating well, and getting the attention she needed. Cherisse sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Her home also has a fully fenced yard, so the dogs could safely roam and play. When my dogs are with Cherisse, I know they are in great hands.
Alberto is very friendly and interacted with my cat and sent photos while I was away. With having an anxious kitty, I’m glad to see she got comfortable there playing with his cat as well as curiously inspecting around and finding a high spot to look from above. She instinctively did what a cat does which makes me think all went well.
Maria took great care of Loki! Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she made sure he was treated with so much kindness and attention. I really appreciated how well she looked after him, Loki was happy and comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with her again! 🐾💙

There are 2,217 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lakeland. About 91% of Lakeland sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
