I offer a personalized, boutique-style pet care experience filled with love, enrichment, thoughtful attention, and a few special touches to make your dog’s stay extra sweet. Animals have always held a special place in my heart! I have been a proud pet parent to a big, lovable Bernedoodle, a French mastiff, and a little dachshund with an even bigger personality, I understand that every animal has unique needs, quirks, and ways of communicating. Family and friends have relied on me to dog sit and help with walks for years My background in psychology and understanding of behavior shapes my approach to animal care. I believe in patience, positive reinforcement, consistency, and creating an environment where animals feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves. 🐶 A Little Something Special for Every Pup Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures, leisurely sniff walks, energetic playtime, enrichment activities, or simply curling up for some extra affection, I tailor their experience to their individual personality and routine. My Boutique Services Include: * 🏡 Cozy Overnight Boarding: A welcoming home environment with personalized attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. * 🐕 Doggy Daycare: Engaging days filled with companionship, exercise, enrichment, and relaxation. * 🌿 Personalized Walks: From energetic adventures to slow, sniff-filled strolls, every walk is tailored to your pup. * 🛁 Pampered Pup Baths: Optional bath time so your furry friend can return home feeling fresh and fabulous! * 🦴 Homemade Dog Treats: Delicious, thoughtfully prepared treats made with dog-friendly ingredients and offered with your approval. * 📸 Special Moments & Updates: Photos and messages so you can see just how much fun your pup is having! ❤️ Thoughtful Care, Happy Tails I know leaving your beloved pet with someone else requires trust. My goal is to offer more than traditional pet sitting—it’s a warm, enriching experience where your dog receives individualized attention, meaningful engagement, and the comforts of home. From playful puppies to mellow companions, big paws to little paws, every guest deserves to feel special. Because your dog isn’t just a pet. They’re family—and that’s exactly how they’ll be treated here! I work part time from home. I can adapt to your needs and routines! I like to learn what your pet expects and make it as consistent as possible. I have a large yard. We have a bernedoodle who is very friendly. If your dog is staying for the day, there is an option to keep them separate if needed. However he loves to play with new dogs!

“I am so thankful for Hannah taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I had to leave last minute for my dads funeral and memorial services. The washing machine flooded the basement, ankle deep, the night before the flight out- not the only disaster. With Hannah / Rover, my kitty was one thing that was in good hands, one less worry. I messed up dates on the app, Hannah fixed it. She called me to let me know the power was shut off so I was able to fix it same day. I accidentally ordered a bunch of books that got delivered after we left, she brought them in. 10/10 would recommend. Happy happy cat and everything good when we got back.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always around pets and started pet sitting and dog walking at a young age. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, so I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m able to work walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting into my routine while making sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home and your pet’s routine, and make sure they’re supervised, comfortable, and cared for throughout my visit.

About: I have over two years of experience as a veterinary assistant in an emergency setting. I recognize early symptoms of common diseases and illnesses to better protect your pet while under my supervision. I also have two years of professional pet boarding experience where I became familiar with animal body language and overall care of pets. I am currently working a schedule where I am out of work around 2:30/3:00pm so I have lots of availability in the early afternoons to help out! I typically am relatively free on the weekends as well 🐶 I believe in treating the pets as I would like my own to be treated- with lots of love! I shamelessly baby talk animals, give lots of pets (if appreciated), and treats!

About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since a very young age. I love every animal I see as if they are my own! Animals bring me so much joy and I wish for them to have the same happiness. I try to pay attention to body language to know what they are telling me especially when we do not know each other yet. I’ve worked as a dog nutritionist at a place called Must Love Dogs (which I certainly do!) I always want to learn more, do more, and constantly be better for the animals in the world even if I’m only able to impact a few. I have experience with dogs who need a lot of support physically (wheelchairs, lift up harnesses, bathroom assistance) as my own German Shepherd needed all of these things later in life. I may have lost count of how many times I was peed on or had to clean the floors, but I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. I hope to honor him everyday and share my love with other fur babies as much as I can. My love for animals is endless. My goal is to be able to fill my days with all sorts of animals I can love on and bring joy to. I am available any day or time for drop in visits, playtime, feedings, and walks! I currently have a dog and a cat. I take my dog for walks and try to provide plenty of play time, snuggles, and other forms of enrichment for him every day. My kitty is still young and loves playtime, being brushed, and always wants snuggles in the morning which I am always happy to provide! My pets are my babies and every animal I see automatically becomes a baby. I had a special needs German shepherd who was in a wheelchair and needed a ton of special care and attention. I’m not afraid to do the dirty work that pets need to thrive and be happy whether that’s my own pets or my clients. I’d treat them as my own.

About: I walk 10,000 steps a day and would love to talk your dog along for a long walk. I've taken care of pets my whole life and love to volunteer in local shelters. I can teach your dog a few tricks, get all their zoomies out with a nice run, and give them all the frisbee, ball, tug of war, hide and seek, etc. playtime that they might want. I can also provide extra care to anxious, reactive, older, post surgery, and/or disabled pets. I have some dog training experience and can help your dog be more comfortable with other dogs, other people, address triggers, reduce pulling on the leash, etc. During our walks, your pets will play, relax, and make new doggie friends all the time with careful introductions and lots of happy moments. Looking to build long term working relationships with my clients and new pet friends. You can always reach me when I'm pet sitting if you ever have a question, I am always just a phone call or a text away. My schedule is very flexible and I like to be outside as much as possible when it comes to spending time with pets. I am avaliable on weekends, weekdays, and can be open to last minute changes. I always make sure the pets have food and a fresh bowl of water. After that I like to build some trust with sniffs and treats, see if they know any tricks. Once the pet is comfortable it's time for a walk and/or playtime to get all the pent up energy out. I think playtime is the most happy time for pets so I always to engage in a few different kinds of games until I find one that they love. This way the pets are happy and comfortable and can happily nap for the rest of the day after we are done.

About: I’m new to the area but not new to pet sitting. I had a successful pet sitting business in Savannah, Ga for over 12 years. I have over 30+ years experience with pets from both big to small: dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, parrots, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I have experience with all pet stages and I’m comfortable with taking care from puppies to elderly pets as well. I’m a stay at home mom but both kids are now in school and my husband is a disabled veteran so he’s home to take care of them so I am fully available to be free to care for your fur babies. Staying in your home or doing drop ins, I’ll stick to your schedule on feedings and I prefer unless absolutely unavoidable to let the dogs out every 4hrs or so unless the dog prompts the need to go outside. If the dog is elderly or has a bladder issue or potty training I can let them out more frequently. The pet will receive love, affection, and we’ll play (varying on dogs needs or likes). Animals are like people, so understanding their personality and likes helps keep them comfortable and happy. Cat litter unless specified I change/clean daily. If you have houseplants I can water them or open blinds for them to get their necessary light, I will also bring in any packages and your mail if desired.

About: Hi! My name is Coryn. I am currently a 4th year medical school student in my clinical rotations here in Michigan. I have had 25+ years experience with taken care of dogs. I have cared for my family's dog for many years while growing up whether it be as big as a Bernese Mountain Dog, Great Pyrenees, or as small as a Scottish terrier. I have had a dog of my own but has unfortunately passed on to the rainbow bridge at 11 years old. I have now had 2-3 years of experience watching dogs a few years ago before I started medical school and took a hiatus. I am back to hopefully help my community with dog sitting or walking. I love dogs and am comfortable with any dog you bring my way. I can play with your dog and take them on many walks and play with them outside either at the dog park or the state park. I have a welcoming apartment home for your pet to stay if needed. I am able to watch your pet full time. There will either be me or my husband at home to take care of your pet 24/7. I am highly compassionate, sensitive to needs, and have 100% attention to the pets I take care of. I make sure your pet gets all their needs taken care of whether it be to go outside for potty time, walking, or play and if they are hungry or just need a treat.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life, from dogs🐶and cats🐱 to guinea pigs 🐹 and frogs 🐸. I have trained my own dogs to do tricks and also have experience working at a kennel. I spend a lot of time with my pets and would to spend time with yours too!🤗 I’m a part time college student but some of my classes are online so I have pretty flexible availability. I also work but only 3 days a week. My current pet family includes two dogs who are very good with other dogs and cats. (Although if your pets do not play well with others, they can be easily separated.) I’m lucky to live at home with my parents where pets would have plenty of space to run around and play🏡.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lakeland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lakeland is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 1,520 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 with handling special pet needs in Lakeland. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
