“Titeara took wonderful care of our Phoebe. 💜 She was very intentional about getting to know her and introducing her to the new space. She asked great questions about what would make Phoebe feel safe and happy while we were away. It’s always hard to leave behind a pet especially with someone new, but we received so many pictures and updates that demonstrated attention to our girl and care for our preferences for her. Phoebe had a great time there, and it was really great to see pictures of her daily- clearly confident, loving, and playful.”

“Fran is great! She cared for our 4 pups with the utmost care and respect. She updated me as soon as she arrived. She sent me photos and gave me behavioral updates. Fran followed our directions for feeding, training and special care for our dogs. Fran also gave me an update as she was leaving to let me know how the visit went. Our dogs seem to really enjoy her company. When I arrived home, I could tell how appreciative our dogs were for Fran’s visit. They were quiet, calm, and acted like they had a fun day while I was at work. Fran is a kind, reliable, and honest animal sitter! Thank you so much, Fran”

Furthermore, she left my home clean, tidy, and secure. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Bekah look after their pets.”

About: As early as 8 years old, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. From taking in and caring for outside cats to helping raise and care for puppies through their senior years, animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. I’ve helped with the everyday care that keeps pets happy and healthy, including walking, potty breaks, bathing, flea care, giving medications, feeding, and keeping up with their routines. One of my favorite parts of caring for animals is building trust with them. I naturally speak to animals gently and patiently, especially when guiding, correcting, or rewarding them. I believe pets respond best when they feel safe, understood, and respected. Whether your angel is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, elderly and needing extra patience, or simply attached to their normal routine, I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy the maintenance and little details of pet care—not just the fun parts. I’m happy to keep up with potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, medications, baths, cleanliness, and whatever routine helps your pet feel at home. My goal is for your pet to receive the same patience, affection, and gentle guidance I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ Your angel is in good hands with me! It’s daily As someone who loves to take care of animals and give out affection, I see pet sitting more as a bond, then just simply a job They are provided with the same care that they will receive from their loving parents, think of it more of spending the night with their favorite aunt!

About: I couldn't love animals more if I tried! I have had dogs and cats since I was born, and I finally got my own fur baby almost 2 years ago! She is my whole world and I would want nothing more than to be a trusted source for your babies too! I'm currently a self employed photographer! Because I make my own schedule, I have plenty of time to care for your babies! Weekends are extremely free for me as well! I have a dog of my own, but because of apartment living I won't be able to offer overnight care. However, I have no issues with cat sitting at the clients home!

About: I am very conscientious and caring. I have owned and cared for a lot of different animals. I will put your mind at ease and will work with you for the top quality care of your pet. I have a wide open daily schedule. I am an early riser and very flexible to meet your needs. I have a horse I visit and want to fill the rest of my time helping others with pet care. I have experienced firsthand how hard it is to get someone you can trust to look after your furry family and realize it is a need in the community. I currently work with my own two dogs every day to ensure they get the exercise needed and make their dog food from scratch so they remain healthy. I understand that your pet needs interaction and breaks from being by themselves while you are away. Commercial pet boarding just doesn’t cut it and takes them out of their safe familiar environment. Raising their stress levels. They don’t need that in your absence. I can take that stress away and make some friends in the process.

About: Taken care of my medium sized dog for ~6 years. I've cat sit for many of my neighbors, cats of various temperaments and health issues. I've also done senior care (mainly memory issues & food check ins), and am an Eagle Scout. Currently unemployed, so I'm quite open to any time for cat or dog care. Within normal day time hours preferred, but no real preference otherwise. I unfortunately cannot take your pet into my home. My dog has not been acclimated enough to other pets enough for comfort. I am more than willing to help in a place they're more comfortable with.

“April is wonderful. She quickly won over my rescue who is anxious and very wary of new people. It is clear that April understands and loves dogs. I find her regular updates very helpful and reassuring. I appreciate the attention she gives my dogs during her visits, taking the time to sit with them and pet them, and that she monitors them when they are outside for bathroom breaks. I love coming home to happy dogs and peace of mind. Highly recommend April!”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lakeland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeland on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 343 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 with handling special pet needs in Lakeland. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
