“Chloe is amazing & our Ellie took to her fast! We’re sad to see her leave & go back to school but definitely will utilize her when she’s back in town! 🥰♥️”

“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.”

“Desiree is an absolute angel. She deserves 10 stars if I could give them to her!! She takes care of my girl and takes her on walks and helps me out with small tasks while I’m at work! She is the best dog sitter and I couldn’t recommend anyone more!”

“Our regular sitter was out of town. I was super nervous having to find a new one. But, the very first thing Montserrat asked was when could she meet our pups. That immediately put my mind at ease. From the moment she walked into our house, I was no longer nervous. Her outgoing and kind personality was made her easy to talk to. She always kept us updated with pics and videos. She was accommodating when asked if she could feed at a visit that wasn’t previously scheduled. She is very detailed oriented and our Tucker & Miller loved her. We would definitely use her again!”


About: I have a Bachelors in Biology, with a special interest in animal behavior (I took several classes on this!). I am also a parent to a sweet cat named Lainey, who I adopted last year. Additionally, I helped walk my dad’s dogs (medium size, one is a blue heeler) for a year or two. I don’t have a full-time job currently, so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I can come almost any time of the day to check on or walk your lovely pets. I have my own doggie bags, but please provide me with your dog’s typical walking equipment. I am very aware of how animals behave, so I’ll keep a very good eye on your pets to make sure they’re safe and happy.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10+ years now got my first dog when I was 6 a German sherped mixed her name is ginger and she is 15 years old also had a yorkie terrier that was stolen and she had 2 sets of 12 pups we nursed her babies till they were able to be revoked I have plenty of time on my hands available when needed, will provide food & water depending on what type of food dog will eat . I have a fenced back yard , which I am able to let the dogs play my dog is a female which she is neutered & pretty old she barks but doesn’t bite ( doesn’t have any bottom teeth )
About: I offer dedicated, highly organized care tailored completely to your fur baby's established routine. My schedule allows me to provide consistent mid-day walks and drop-in visits when your pet needs them most. My pet care journey includes extensive, specialized experience with animals at all stages of life. I have successfully raised and trained multiple litters of puppies, giving me a deep understanding of early behavioral training, socialization, and the patience required for young dogs. Additionally, I have hands-on experience raising and fostering young kittens from just 3 weeks old, both those transitioning to solid food, and litters alongside their mothers, which has taught me to be exceptionally attentive to health, safety, and early-stage socialization. Because I don't work a traditional 9 to 5 job, my schedule is exceptionally flexible and open. My weekly routine is built around a consistent daily schedule, which allows me to easily dedicate prime morning and midday windows to your pets when they need a break, a walk, or a feeding the most. While I do manage a few personal appointments during the week, my days are highly predictable. This structured routine means I can provide your fur baby with rock-solid reliability, consistent timing, and the focused attention they deserve. When providing drop-in visits or mid-day walks, I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and vigilance. Inside your home, I strictly adhere to your exact feeding guidelines, ensure fresh water is always available, and meticulously follow your security routines, including double-checking door locks, securing gates, and setting alarms exactly as instructed. Out on walks, my focus is entirely on your dog. I practice low-stress handling, maintain total awareness of our surroundings to avoid reactive wildlife or loose dogs, and keep a firm, secure grip on the leash at all times. Because of my background managing energetic puppy litters and young fosters, I am naturally geared toward proactive safety, anticipating risks before they happen so your fur baby stays safe, happy, and comfortable every step of the way.
“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.”

“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!”

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.
“Stephanie was fantastic! She checked in on my boy, walked him, fed him, played with him, and sent me lots of updates and pictures! She gave him lots of love and attention, and he loved her! I wasn't worried about him at all while he was in her care. I definitely recommend Stephanie and will use her again when I need someone to watch my baby! ?”

“Heidi was wonderful with my kitty Niki while I was out of town for 2 weeks. She gave him extra special care of him & took great pictures. I felt reassured that he was getting the love and attention he needed.”

About: I am your pet's new best friend. I have owned and cared for several dogs and cats over the years. With a natural love for animals and years of experience, I provide top-notch care and affection for your fur babies. From daily walks to cuddle sessions, I go above and beyond to ensure they feel safe and loved while you're away. Trust me to create a happy and comfortable environment for your precious companions. Let's make their tails wag and their hearts full. I work full time at an a major airline Monday through Thursday and this is my guilty weekend pleasure Caring for animals gives me great pleasure! I have 4 furbabies but enough space that everyone can have their independence. -And a pen in the back for small pups to play. There are nearby parks for longer walks as well.
Lakeland pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jessie is an exceptional sitter. While our German Shepherd easily warms up to every human she meets, our Aussie is far more reluctant, standoffish and territorial, Jessie turned him into a cuddle bunny within a day. She has trained dogs and well reads their personalities and needs. I can think of nobody who could better pamper your furry friends and will definitely be a return customer/friend.
