“Margarette had relieved my anxiety of leaving my dog home alone while we were out on vacation. In each drop-in visit, she made sure to keep us updated and send lots of photos. My dog was happy with all of the belly rubs, love, and treats she provided him. I highly recommend her for your fur babies :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“We are reoccurring customers and always will be as long as Carly is caring for pets. She is incredible and puts our mind at ease, which for us was a huge deal during stressful last minute situations. She has a huge heart and will always show your fur babies love. Thank you Carly from all of us Griffins, especially from Kai and Nola lol ❤️”
“Seth is wonderful! He looked after our rabbits and my mother’s cats while we were gone for a week. He was prompt, communicative and kept the houses clean and animals well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“This is my first time using Rover. Cassidy was great! She eased my worries about my cats while I was traveling! She kept me informed with the pictures she posted. She even left them with some new toys that even got my 7 year old cat playing! My 7 year old cat, who is very shy with strangers, even came out of hiding to meet her! I will definitely use Cassidy again when I travel! Thank you Cassidy!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who need a calmer, gentler approach. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel at home. I’m also open to caring for cats and understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level. Whether they’re playful, shy, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages so they always have peace of mind while away. I am a recent college graduate, and I am currently searching for a job. This makes my schedule very flexible, so I am able to do check-ins or walks anytime during the day! For walks and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I understand how important trust and consistency are, so I always follow each pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications if needed, and any special preferences for their pet. During walks, I make sure pets are safely leashed, monitored closely, and given plenty of attention and exercise. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, feeding, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship so pets feel less stressed while their owner is away. I also provide regular photo and message updates because I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy and doing well.

I teach during August- May but have time after work to play and spend time with your animals. June- July I am available at all times. I will treat your animals as if they were mine with plenty of love and attention. I will follow your instructions for the care of your pet.
About: I lived on a goat farm for 10 years. It was an exciting and arduous time. I miss being around animals. We also had 4 dogs, many chicken, pigs, turkey, and rabbits.

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.
