Joshua is a great communicator and takes such good care of our cat when we’re away. He’s great at following the directions we provide and sharing pictures and recaps of his visits. He’s trustworthy and we know he truly cares about our fur baby. Thank you, Joshua!!!

This was our second time using Isabella as our sitter and of course she over exceeded our expectations! She’s amazing with communication and the way she cared for our dogs she treats them like they’re hers. My dogs love her, we love her! I don’t think Isabella truly understand how much we appreciate being able to go on vacation and not have to worry about our babies, she’s the best!

About: I’ve lived my entire life with dogs. I currently have a 8-year-old Australian Shepherd and live with a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. I enjoy walking all dog breeds and sizes, and can help leash train your dog. I currently work remote Monday-Friday 8am-5pm with a one hour lunch break and am fully free on weekends. This leaves plenty of time to take care of your furry friends during the morning, midday, and evening. I would need internet access and a desk or tabletop during weekdays. I am open for FaceTiming, calls, and communication whenever needed and am particular about following instructions provided by the pet parent. They know best about their furry family members! I am also very strict about proper and comfortable leashing on walks or any time outside without a fenced in yard.

Ruth did an amazing job caring for my dogs. They can be difficult with one being just a puppy and the other being older and very nervous but she did an excellent job making sure they were taken care of.

About: I am a veterinary assistant so I possess skills and knowledge that will ensure the best a proper care of your pets. I have most experience caring for cats and dogs, but have recently become familiar with exotics as well. I work 4 days a week at a veterinary clinic. I will be available for drop ins during the week but have more time available over the weekend. I will make visits to your pets in your home and give them appropriate enrichment with their own toys so that they are most comfortable with the smells and their routine.

About: I have been a pet sitter since two years ago. I sat and walked my friend’s dog who lives in Chicago for the past two years. I’m currently working part time, so I have the time to take care of any animal as long the animals doesn’t bite me. I would feed them as needed and walk them 3 times a day. I don’t have a dog at the moment, but my cat is taken well care of and given plenty of love.

About: I’ve pet sat for a teacher, best friend and my aunt. I’ve worked with reactive dogs and dogs of different sizes and backgrounds, even mine. With every animal that I work with and take care of, I treat them like my own. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals thanks to working at pet supermarket. I’m currently not working but I am looking for a job. I’m available everyday, early mornings and evenings Monday - Saturday and all day on Sundays. While in a clients home, I will play your dog(s) for as long as they want with breaks in between. I will keep the house clean from any messes that may be made. While in my care, your pet will be treated with respect and I will love them as my own.

Thanks to Bethany and Nathan, my wife and I were able to enjoy a much-needed vacation with each other. One that we haven't been able to take in years due to not having anyone at home with the animals. Everything was handled spectacularly with no issues at the house whatsoever. Photos were provided, updates were given, and all instructions were followed to the letter. All communications throughout were clear and delightful, we highly recommend this Duo, and we will be reaching out to them again when the time comes to take another vacation.

Couldn’t have been better. Very attentive; played with them, gave them their desert-churro-sent multiple photos, indulged my cats’ foibles and mine. Kept me from worrying about them so I could enjoy a couple days out of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeland Highlands on Rover is $16.65 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 1,866 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lakeland Highlands. 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 Highlands. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
