“If we could give Margarette 10 stars we would! Our cats loved her and she put our minds at ease when we went on vacation and had to leave our furbabies. One of our cats already misses her!!! Thank you Margarette for being so good to our kiddos!!!”
“She was amazing! She husky is a pain in the booty, and she took care of her like she was her very own. She gave me and my boyfriend peace of mind in a time when we definitely needed it. We will 100% be booking w her again. If you want your fur babies to feel loved and taken care of she is definitely the one to book with.”
“Chekerra was amazing! She took such great care of Marley and truly went above and beyond. She even brought her own toys so they could play together, which Marley loved. We also really appreciated the check-ins and pictures she sent throughout the stay—it gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats the pets like her own. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“Want to thank Hannah for short notice booking, great meet and greet with myself and dogs. Thank you for the pics, the dogs liked you 2 which i feel pets know good people. Again thank you for such short notice and being able to do so. It was very much appreciated. Randy S,”
“Sandy took great care of our kitties while we were gone. After taking great care of our dog previously, I had no doubt that the cats would be in good hands. Excellent communication, trustworthy and dependable! Would recommend her for both home check-ins and drop-off overnight visits.”

“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: I have experience with various pets such as Great Pyrenees, Great Danes, Yorkies, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, long hair cats, short hair cats, Poodles, etc. I also have experience with reactive dogs as well as training dogs to sit, stay, lay down, heel, and reduce unwanted jumping. I have taken care of pets by grooming them, supervising play with other animals, feeding, cleaning up any messes, trimming nails, etc. I'm looking forward to take care of your fur babies :) I'm currently a university student, so please be courteous with my schedule. I am free most weekends, mornings, evenings, and nights. During May-August I will be available more for pet sitting. I pay attention to your pet's body language and do not overstep their boundaries. I am able to properly use a shock collar (if one is provided or requested) while still maintaining a good relationship with the pet and use positive reinforcement as well. Pictures of your pets can be sent while they are under my care at your request. I am able to keep pets under control during walks using positive reinforcement and handle encounters with other animals well during walks.
About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have taken care of friends and family’s animals while they are away. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs.

“Harley has been amazing with our dog, Lola. I highly recommend Harley if you are needing your fur baby walked, played with, or checked on. Pictures are uploaded on the app so you can see her walk/visit!”
“Cassidy is beyond amazing, she did wonderful with Miles (cat) and truly thankful. She is kind, caring, and a delight with animals and people - if I could give more stars 🌟 I would without hesitation. I will certainly be reaching out to her in the future; she truly is amazing!”

I’m only available on weekends preferably mornings, unless you request ahead of time (no guarantees). please let me know if you have anything specific i should know about your pet thanks you :) I am looking forward to spending a small part of my day with your fur babies :) I currently work full-time, but have more than enough time on my hands on weekends and some weekdays depending on my schedule for the week.

About: I know because of having my own pets that peace of mind is what I need most when entrusting my pets with others and I strive to give you and your pet as much attention as they need and you expect. Just give more some important info about your dog ie. Frequency of walks, their typical schedule, special needs and I will give them what you give them everyday. I want your pet to be on the same routine they are on when you are there with them. If you want someone that understands how important a pet is to you and your family then I am the pet sitter for you. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience to discuss what I can do to help provide you with peace of mind when you need some help when you are away from your little furry friend. I make myself available any day of the week when I am needed. Just give me a few hours notice and I will be there to help you 🙏 My dog is almost always with me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 60 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
