About: I am 54 years old and have owned several small toy breeds including, Yorkshire terriers, Maltese, Pomeranians and currently 3 Daschunds. I also have a tabby kitty . I know the feeling of leaving my dogs and my mom’s cat, and yearning for the perfect care and dependability of my dog and cat sitter. I am not someone to just come in and leave . I love to play with the animal and give it attention it needs . I have house trained all of my small breed doggies and love to walk and play with your little ones. I do not have any other job. My time is your babies time and would be so happy to help . Note: I cannot board in my home due to my three dogs. I am currently out of work and looking for the next best hobby of mine and that is animals . This would be extremely intentional for me to be there every day as needed. Thank you for considering me ! I do not prefer to board animals in my home. I am a dog momma to three weenies and they aren’t great with other dogs . In my free time I love taking them for walks, playing at the soccer park with a ball, and often drive them to Sonic for ice cream ! I will be working with a puppy every day for an hour close by in Arlington, that will need my attention and love M-F from 10-11:30 a.m. Cats are also a specialty of mine . I know they can be just as sad when their person is gone and therefore I will love them too! Please let me know if you have any questions and no am happy help .
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for about 5 years now, including pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, from energetic pups to shy or older pets. I always focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and happy. My schedule is flexible, and I’m committed to being reliable and on time. I’m available for regular visits, pet sitting, or last-minute bookings when possible, and I always make sure your pet’s routine is followed closely. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by caring for them in their own home, where they feel most secure. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a clean and respectful environment, and make sure doors, gates, and routines are always handled with care. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve had animals all my life and have been caring for dogs and horses for the past 6 years. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working toward a career in veterinary medicine, so caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy it’s my passion. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from college and working a part-time job, so pet sitting is a great way for me to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy caring for animals. My work schedule is Thursday through Saturday, and I’m available after I get off work on those days. I’m also available on my days off and will do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I believe in keeping pet parents updated and making sure every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore, as well as three friendly small dogs who are well-socialized and can provide companionship if your pet enjoys being around other dogs. For drop-in visits, I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll always respect your home, carefully follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and provide the attention, patience, and care they deserve.
“Wonderful person to watch my cat! Followed all of my instructions and my cat, who is very shy, actually came out and started to interact with her by the end of the visit.”
About: I go above and beyond for every one of my pet owners to make sure their babies are safe, well taken care of, and spoiled!! I have experience with all breeds, of all sizes and ages as well. I do everything I can to make sure your pets are happy and healthy. I also buy treats and toys (specific to your pups needs/wants). I'm currently working full time, from 8:30-3:30. So I will be with your babies in the morning from 6:30 AM to the time I go to work, come back around 3:30-4 PM, stay for a few hours, and then make one more night stop. Or, I just stay if im staying at my pet owners house. I dont do boarding but I am able to bring your babies to my house if need be whike i watch them. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats (2 of which are kittens) that would love to play with them and I have kennels if necessary as well. When at my pet owners house, I like spend quality time with all of the babies, make sure everyone is fed and taken care of and play until all that energy is out!
“I had set up drop-ins in advance with Bailey but I had to add in a few last-minute ones as well, and they were done no problem. I really appreciated it.”
About: I have cared for friends, family, and customers pets for the last seven years. I am a retired school teacher. I am willing to walk, bathe, and spoil your beloved pet while you are away either in my Collierville home or in your home. I have 2 dogs of my own and have excellent references. I am a stay at home mom with my littles in school daily with care for them by their grandmother so I have plenty of time to offer your pet and family for play, potty breaks, walks, whatever you need. If you prefer boarding in my home, I have a nice fenced in yard and a friendly pup of my own to keep your baby company if needed. I also have crates in all sizes if your baby needs to be crate trained.
About: I've always been into nature, animals, insects and pets. My grandmother would always joke and say that I should be a Veterinarian when I grow up. Between playing with earth worms, petting any dog I see or spoiling my own pups, I love people and I love their animals and pets. For the past decade, having to care for other's pets never felt like a chore. It remains the foundation of my desire to join Rover. Even after being bitten by an unsuspecting, unpredictable pit bull, I will continue being a dog lover. I have been a pet caregiver since I was a teen. Now that I've discovered Rover, I can take this to the next level. I'm actually late to the Rover party! I currently have open availability as of August 2026. That could be changing to part-time availability soon. I will update my availability as needed. I am devoted to absolute safety and trust. I promise to treat you, your property and furry family members with the same love, attention and care that I would treat my own.
About: I’ve had an assortment of pets my whole life, and was a groomer for several years. I’ve worked with pets big and small, from the greatest of Danes and even creepy crawlies! I love working with animals and have nothing to do but snuggle pets in my spare time! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to help accommodate you in any way I can! I want to bring comfort to your pets while you have to be away! As a fur mom of a couple of “Velcro” dogs myself, I know how sad they can be without us! I really love to chat with them while I am there!

I am available throughout the week from the morning to early afternoons (8 am-4pm). My schedule can be adjusted if needed.

About: We are a married couple in our 40s interested in house/pet-sitting together. We have pet-sat for a few NC and TN families for the past several years, and both of us had pet-sat before we met as well. Zachary works from home and so will be around the house much of the day if dogs need a mid-day walk or meal. Denny wakes up early and can feed and walk dogs in the early morning. Between us, we have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, rodents, rabbits, livestock, reptiles, and amphibians. We are willing to work with other animals as well. We prefer to sleep at the pet-owner's home when needed, as this means that we’re around and available for the pets at various times throughout the day. Denny also does drop-in care and dog-walking. Zachary has experience training dogs and volunteering with cats as well. Looking forward to meeting you! Zachary has a flexible work schedule and works from home. Denny is available to care for pets in the mornings, sometimes late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We both enjoy walking and hiking and would love to take your dogs for walks. We don’t bring pets into our home but prefer overnight care in the pets’ home and are also open to drop-in care and walks. We are both very gentle with dogs and cats and enjoy lots of cuddles with pets, and we also make sure to take them for walks if desired.

Titeara was so attentive and responsive, and took wonderful care of my aging kitty while I was away! I felt like my cat was in good hands and really appreciated her thoughtfulness and care. Would recommend her to anyone, she will take great care of your fur babies and you won't have to worry about a thing!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lakeland is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
