“We hesitated writing a review because, honestly, we’re selfish and don’t want his popularity to skyrocket, making it harder to book him! But he truly deserves it more than anyone on Rover. He’s amazing! Quick to respond, always on time, no matter the weather—whether it’s raining or ridiculously hot. We trust him 100%. He even has the code to our front door, comes in, gets the dogs, makes them happy, and brings them back exhausted (which is no easy feat with our two energetic GSPs). So, long story short—book him! You won’t regret it.”
“Rachelle was so responsive and made me feel so comfortable! It is my first time ever using Rover & I’m glad that she was available. Definitely will be using her services again! Highly recommend!”
“Karla has been a Godsend! One of my dogs is very difficult and she has him so well behaved. I don't knows what we would've done if we hadn't found her. It would've required renting a car and taking the doggies with us. Karla the best thing that's happened for us. 5 out of 5 for sure!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, including family pets and those of friends, for the last 10 years. I now have two pups of my own! :) Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, administer medication to, and otherwise care for their dogs for many years. I love spending time with all the fluffy friends! I work from home and am generally flexible with my schedule! Just let me know, and we can find something that works for all of us. I have a fenced yard and my friendly own dogs can keep your fur babies company. We can also separate them completely if you prefer. We have two sides of the house with separate entrances to the backyard.
“Kylee took excellent care of our dog Lady and cat Scamp. She sent us pics of Lady doing her happy dance post walk and let us know each time she was arriving and departing. I would book Kylee's services again in a heartbeat.”
“Elizabeth was great with my dog! Kept me updated on how my girl was and very patient with her as my dog was a little nervous at first when she got there for her walk. I received a picture of my girl and even an update on my cat! I will definitely rebook for her to come see my dog for a walk!”
About: I have had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels-from high energy pups who need lots of playtime to older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra TLC. I'm well versed in basic pet first aid and always pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe capable hands. I know how important peace of mind is when you're away, and i take that responsibility seriously. At home, I have a very full (and very spoiled) house-one dog, two cats, and a guinea pig- so I'm used to managing different routines personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I'll treat them like one of my own-with plenty of attention, care and extra belly rubs! This is currently my main focus so i have a completely open schedule to accommodate pet parents that may need me at all hours based on their needs I have access to several dog friendly parks and trails near my home as well as a crew cab truck so even the largest dogs can enjoy a ride. I also keep a dog seatbelt and pet friendly steps in the truck in case anyone needs a little extra hand getting in
“Ruth is so sweet not only to my dog but to me as well. She's baked doggie treats for my dog and he loves them. Ruth is on time and gives her full attention to us. She handles my dog with love and care and he loves her back! I would recommend Ruth to anyone with dog care needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. My heart is always happy with pets, I enjoy to play with them, feed, bath, walk or just snuggle together. I work in my home office, so I’m able to take care of the pets in my house every day and night in a week. I have a couple doggy parks nearby so I can take pets every day to park. Also I like to walk around lakes and natural trails so will have a lots of fun together.
About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.
About: I have taken care of all of my families pets for most of my life. I also used to help my godmother with her pet sitting/walking business and through this learned the ins and outs of pet sitting and what different owners require! I currently work a part time job where I am given the schedule for the next week the week before, but I have 14 days to schedule off of work. So, my schedule is open as long as I am given well enough notice to be able to call off of work! My experience with my personal animals is that I feed, wash, and provide my pets with the care they need. My personal animals are in a fenced yard, but I frequently walk them around my neighborhood. With my cats I provide similar care, taking care of their litter and grooming and food needs.
“Bethany and Aaron did a great job. Our dogs love them both. They communicate regularly and even send pictures. This is the second time we have used them and we are sure our pups are well taken care of. Would definitely recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeland Highlands
We couldn’t have been happier with the care our boy received.! He was clearly well loved and taken great care of. We really appreciated the pictures and how well they communicated with us. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was happy and in good hands. We would definitely recommend Danieris and Julian . We will be booking with them again.
I want to thank Bethany and Nathan for being so awesome! They have cared for my baby Angel several times now. They are very reliable and responsive. I have been accomadated for last minute sittings. I am a nurse and sometimes get called into work a 12 hour shift at the last minute. I call Bethany and she sits for Angel with no problem. I feel very comfortable leaving Angel with Bethany, I don't have to worry about her. I can focus on what I'm doing with no fears about Angel. If you are a pet parent you know how important it is to find someone knowledgeable and reliable to care for your pet who is like your child. You can feel safe and secure that Bethany and Nathan will treat your pet just like their own. Just to wrap up I want to say that from the first time Angel meet Bethany and Nathan she took to them like she has never done before. I was amazed and knew then I had found the right person's to sit for Angel whom I love very much.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lakeland Highlands. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeland Highlands. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
