They you Briana and Ethan for taking care of my dogs, you did an awesome job.”
“This was our first experience with Rover. The thorough updates and pictures from Morgan were great! Using Rover allowed us to enjoy our out of town visit worry free. My cats were quite calm and happy when we returned. Thanks Morgan! We are so glad we have such reliable care close by!”
“Margarette was a fantastic house and cat sitter! She is quick to respond and you can tell she loves animals as much as we do. I wouldn’t hesitate to call her again. Thank you!!”
“We were so pleased with the care our feline friends received. Chekerra was incredibly attentive and spent quality time playing with them. It was also very helpful that she went the extra mile to bring in our mail. We also had contractors coming to install flooring during our absence.And she worked masterfully to secure our pets so that they could be safe and not interfere with the crew when they did their work. She also informed us promptly after the construction was done that.The crew had left the house a mess. Her concern for our home in addition to our pets was very special. We truly appreciate the exceptional service provided. We will definitely be reaching out again for future needs.”
“Carly took good care of our cat Sally for more than a week while we were out. She was very communicative keeping me up to date during her visiting. She did a good job with all (feeding, playing, sandbox cleaning) and even took care of extra cleaning when needed (a dead lizard on my floor!). Thank you!!!”
“Rebekah provided my cat with excellent care while I was away. She was responsive to all of my questions and requests and completed her job duties within the identified timeframe. Most importantly, my cat was not as stressed as prior occasions when I returned home. I highly recommend her and will request her services again.”
About: 🐾 Around here, the paw-ty never stops! Zoomies, belly rubs, fetch, cuddle time, & snack breaks, your pet will get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Don’t forget to CHECK OUT MY GALLERY to see some of my adorable furry friends!

“Cassidy was a kind and reliable sitter! I got her to drop in while I was away for a week-long conference! I was worried to leave my pet alone for so long, by Cassidy was great about sending a few pictures and updating me on her wellbeing.”
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs for my entire life, and I have been doing so professionally for about 5 years now. I have a regular office job with a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability to care for animals! I use pet sitting as extra income to get through college. I am extremely attentive and careful when I am around animals. Noticing patterns in behaviors is necessary so just in case one of the pets starts acting differently, I will know something is wrong and that I need to change it!
About: I have experience with cats and dogs. Young and old. I can administer medication if needed. They will have all the love and attention they will need. Everything will be followed per your instructions. I am self employed so I have a very flexiable schedule to drop in whenever. I will always update my schedule and if you happen to see that I'm unavailable but you need me send me a message and we will see if we can work something out. Wether you need your dog walked, fed or played with I have you covered day or night. Same goes with your cats. I will play with them as if they were my own. And dont worry about the litter box I got it. Your instructions for your pet will always be followed. I will go above and beyond for your fur baby. They will have all the love, excerise, and play time they or you require that they have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 59 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lakeland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
