“Desiree was so great with our two Siberia huskies. She sent us picture updates after every drop in. Desiree was very accommodating and went above and beyond our expectations. She is trustworthy and respectful. I would highly recommend her.”
“Robert was amazing. He's very sweet and attentive and JuJu loved him. When we returned everything was fine. Robert video chatted with us, sent video, and pics every day we were away. He let himself into our home and we had 0 issues! I would definitely book with Robert again and again!”
“Brooke was responsible with my two babies and took good care of them. They are used to being in their home environment with a lot of love and I know they received that.”
About: As a child I dreamed of being a vet, but life took me another way. That hasn’t dampened my love of animals though. I can’t remember a time in my life where I haven’t had a pet…dogs, cats, lizards, fish, hermit crabs, gerbils, hamsters…. Currently, I have a Bernese Mountain dog and a Golden Retriever who are my world. My kids are grown so my dogs are my children. If you want someone who will adore your dog or cat and treat them like you would, I will be waiting for your message. I do not have another job nor children at home to care for so I have a lot of availability. I will be punctual because I know I do not appreciate it when my friends have made my dogs wait to be feed or go outside to potty. I have a dog with hip dysplasia so I would want someone who respected my wishes in order to protect my sweet puppy’s hips. Therefore, I will abide by any boundaries set or responsibilities required of me. I do not take anyone’s desire for safety lightly. I will treat your animal as if it were my own.
“Marcus is amazing 🤩 my babies loved him. He’s very sweet and I felt very comfortable knowing he was taking great care of my babies. I will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Amy was great checking in on my pup, and I love that she was just as responsive as when I booked her for daycare. She sent me photo updates which I loved! I can tell she and her kids really love spending time with Lilo which is so comforting.”
“Whitney was kind and professional from start to finish. It was my first time leaving my cats and using Rover, and she was patient and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. I felt relieved about my cats after talking to her during her visit. I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend!”
“Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.”
“Danielle did a great job caring for our cats and fish. She was thorough, kind and very communicative. I appreciate her care for my pets, and plan to reach out to her again when we need pet sitting. Recommended!”
“Andrenette was amazing! Very communicative, brought treats and left gifts for my cats!! We really appreciate her love of animals and the great attention she had for our stray outdoor cats!!!”
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: I have previous experience in dog, cat, and house sitting. I’ve had several pets throughout my life and all have lived long healthy lives in my care. I currently volunteer with House of Mews on a weekly basis. I have knowledge and experience in caregiving, bathing, and administering medicine. I follow directions well and will give your furry friend the best care possible. Currently working my own hours, so I am flexible and free to visit whenever you need me. If you have any special requests, just let me know and we can work out pricing. My home is unfortunately unavailable for boarding. But I’m comfortable taking care of pets in all types of environments and don’t mind traveling with them in my car if you’d like me to enrich their day at a dog park or on a nature trail.
“Nikaila was a fantastic pet sitter! She took amazing care of our dogs and left us photos and comments of her stay. We were so comforted to know our babies were in good hands!”
“Bekah has proven to be dependable, punctual, and trustworthy. During my time away, Bekah regularly sent photos, and messages, which gives us peace of mind. Even my timid pet warmed up to her. Furthermore, she left my home clean, tidy, and secure. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Bekah look after their pets.”
About: l am very experience with the care of large and small breed dogs and am able to handle all dogs with kindness and gentleness. I am in biased towards any breeds and that shows through with my care and handling. I am knowledgeable in basic training and am comfortable handling reactive dogs. I am able to provide walks and pet sitting on weekends at any time and throughout the week in the afternoons. Please just message me regarding the time you are needing and I will see if I can make it work. Caring for pets in a client’s home should never be taken lightly and pets should be supervised at all times while their owners are not there.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeland on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 332 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:

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.
