“Elizabeth was great to work with. She was on time, followed instructions perfectly and most importantly my pups had a great time with her and were well cared for. Thank you!🙏 we will be happy to have you back.”

“Cathy is awesome. She house sat over The weekend for my dogs & cared for them like they were her own. She sent regular updates about the boys & left my house nicer than when I left.”

““I can’t say enough great things about Casandra! She watched my dog, Malachi, for three weeks while I was traveling abroad, and her care exceeded all expectations. Not only did she handle two major hurricanes (Helene & Milton) during that time, but she kept my house clean, ensured Malachi was well-fed, and even took him to her home when my power went out. Despite being without power twice, Casandra remained calm, resourceful, and reliable throughout. She consistently sent me updates and photos of Malachi, and every time I reached out, she responded within minutes. Her communication was top-notch, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter!””

“Pennie was everything my dogs and I needed! From the first contact to the very end she was responsive and great to work with. She was able to handle my overly excited dogs when she arrived, her calm demeanor helped them settle quickly. Pennie kept their normal schedule and my dogs were completely content that I was away, this made my very happy and settled my nerves about leaving them. Pennie will be my go to for now on.”

“Christian was amazing with our 4 dogs!!! He kept us up to date every day on how they where an that eased my mind so much!!! They dogs love playing outside with him so much an that made for good nap times an better bed time!!!”

About: I’ve been raised with a variety of pets since I was a kid. I’ve been pet sitting since college. I have experienced with younger dogs as well as senior dogs. I have a flexible summer schedule for pets that need more care. During the school year, I have a later start and am able to let pets out during lunch. I have experience working with crate trained dogs as well as high energy dogs. I have also worked with pets with special diets or medication needs.

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.
“Joshua was kind and patient with our pets … and sent us pics while we were gone. Even video chatting with us one night! We appreciate all he did with helping our pets feel at home while we were gone.”

“Lyndsay was super communicative with me from start to finish. My flight got delayed and offered to stay a few extra hours past what we agreed upon. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day and the entire weekend. I highly recommend her and trust her with my pups!”

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 5 and cats since about a year ago. I'm far more familiar with dogs and their needs and enjoy walking with them and caring for them. I currently have two medium sized dogs who love snuggles, walks, and playing. I work part time at the Lakeland Veterinary and Hospital as a Kennel Technician. My schedule varies on a monthly basis as schedules are typically given out for the upcoming month. The first week of the month is the most difficult for me to schedule as typically the work schedule hasn’t been sent out yet. As for my work schedule it varies time frames ranging from 7am-5pm or 4pm-9pm on week days while weekends are typically 7am-1pm or 4pm-9pm. I'll be happy to discuss any time frames whether I know my schedule or not. I have two dogs at my house between 25lbs-50lbs who love snuggles and playing with each other. I go on a lot of walks with my dogs as they're both friendly and energetic. I make sure my puppies are well fed, have clean water, and give all the love they can possibly receive every day

“Destiny was fantastic with our 2 kitties. This was the first time we left them and she did a great job keeping us updated with texts and videos. I highly recommend her if you want someone friendly and knowledgeable.”

“Belle was a fantastic caretaker for our 12-year-old furry baby Scout. He can be a bit of a challenge since he is older and deaf. Belle sent us some pictures of him during our 6-night trip out-of-town. Scout looked happy, bright eyed and alert. Belle left the home neat, tidy and smelling clean and sanitized. I would recommend Belle without any hesitation. She will be first on my list to call when we need her to watch Scout in the future.”

“Christina was great with our dog and cat. She kept to their schedules and stayed at our place for several nights. You couldn't even tell she had been here. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals, especially the ones who need a little extra love or patience. I have experience with behavioral and allergy-prone dogs, and my background as a pharmacy technician gives me confidence when it comes to medications and health needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, so I’m available for evening visits, walks, and weekend care. Whether your cat needs calm companionship or your dog needs a gentle hand, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. 🐾 I’ve cared for many pets in their own homes, helping them feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I always follow each pet’s routine to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible.
Lakeland Highlands pet parents share their Rover experiences
Christina was amazing with our senior dogs. One has epilepsy and the other one other health issues, so they are not that simple to take care of. She did a great job taking care of them. They were very happy with her and not stressed out. She kept me informed the entire time, was responsive, sent photos, and was able to give them their meds and vitamins. She stayed over and was respectful of our home. We recommend her and will be hiring her in the future.
