“Marissa was amazing, she is so sweet and our kitty absolutely loved her. She took so many pictures and made sure to update me on how everything was going. Marissa went above and beyond. She gave me total peace of mind while I was gone. I will absolutely be using her again ❤️ I highly recommend Marissa!!”
About: Sam and I have been passionate animal lovers our entire lives and have cared for both dogs and cats since we were young. We're comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. We have two friendly dogs of our own, so it's important that any furry guests staying with us are comfortable around other animals. We understand that every pet has unique needs, and we'll treat your furry family member with the same love, care, and attention we give our own. Between Sam and I, there will always be someone home with your pup to provide lots of love and attention. Our dogs Loki and Genki will be thrilled to have new friends stay over that they can play with. Our home is designed to be a comfortable place where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor fun, plenty of toys throughout the house, and lots of cozy spots for lounging. Whether your pup enjoys a game of fetch, playing with toys, or simply curling up for a nap, we'll make sure they have a fun and comfortable stay. We also share our home with two cats who generally keep to themselves. If your dog is comfortable around cats, they'll be welcome to enjoy full access to our home. If not, that's absolutely no problem—we can easily keep your pup separated from the areas where our cats spend their time to ensure everyone stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free.
“It was awesome knowing that our pets were being cared for. We didn’t worry a bit. Andrhu immediately made us feel comfortable leaving. He went above and beyond. I strongly recommend Andru to everyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Heather is a great help! She is so sweet and kind with our little goldendoodle puppy Lulu. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend her services.”
About: My experience as a Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy raiser required me to safely handle dogs while exposing them to a wide variety of situations and environments, all while monitoring body language and behavior, providing consistent positive reinforcement, and building trust through clear communication. Getting the opportunity to help raise the next generation of service dogs gave me a deeper understanding of how to keep dogs safe, engaged, and happy while adapting to each one’s unique personality and drive. I take pride in my ability to notice subtle dog behaviors that indicate such things as stress or discomfort and respond appropriately to ensure a positive experience. I am currently working only part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them all of my time and energy! I also have reliable car for transportation. I am comfortable and have worked with all breeds and sizes and have had dogs and cats all my life and know what to look out for if something is wrong. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment so no worries if your pet is not good with other animals! I take the safety of the animal in my care very seriously and treat them as if they are my own!
“I was anxious to find a dog sitter, and I wanted to make sure I found someone with a decent amount of experience. Sophia was more than happy to do a meet-and-greet with both of my dogs. She met them both where they were at, and they both had a successful first experience getting care from someone other than me or a close friend.”
“Ivy was fantastic! I appreciated her patience, understanding, and consideration with Aspen. She was kind, thoughtful and careful while Aspen became comfortable with her. Scheduling and coordinating with Ivy was a breeze. She put in time and effort to make the schedule and manage everything through Rover. I'll be using Ivy in the future, without a doubt.”
“We had a great experience! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt confident that Tanner was in good hands. He was well cared for, let out for potty breaks on schedule, and seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. I would definitely book again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“She did a amazing job with my pets she was very patient and understanding and kind she did everything I needed and my dogs loved her I will definitely book with her again❤️❤️🫶🏽🫶🏽”
“Issana is wonderful pet service provider. Even my skiddish cat got lots of love. She is very reliable and flexible with last minute schedule changes. My fur babies absolutely love her. I will continue to use her services for the best care while I’m away.”
“Meeting Lauren and Ernest beforehand eased my mind and convinced me my beloved kitties would be safe with them. I loved seeing the videos and pics each day as well. I came home to happy cats. Thank you both for your care!”
“Danielle took wonderful care of our kitten. She always arrived on time, checked carefully on our kitten’s well-being, and made a sincere effort to keep us updated throughout the day. We really appreciated her reliability and kindness!”

I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During that time, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and loving care in a safe and comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Kathy was so great dropping in with our 2 pups! We booked with Grover only 1 week before leaving over the Christmas holiday and she met with us right away so we had no worries leaving. We had a change in plans and didn't need her the last day and apologize for the mess up. Definitely will use her services again🐾”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeland South
Issana was an amazing sitter! Every rover card she sent was filled with caring updates, photos, and videos of my sweet girl. She really cared about making sure my shy kitty was comfortable with her. I was so worried about living my car for such a long time for the first time, but Issana really put my worries and fears aside. I would definitely recommend having Issana watch over your furbabies!
Anna made drop-in visits to our cats while we were away for two weeks, and what a relief it was knowing they were well taken care of! Anna was great at communicating, responsive, and shared updates and photos regularly. She’s smart, friendly, responsible, and trustworthy.. everything we needed to feel okay about being away from our fur babies for that long. Thanks so much Anna!!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeland South on Rover is $19.98 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 6,463 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lakeland South. 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.

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.
