About: Animal lover, retired after 35 years working as an Auditor for the U.S. Army. My menagerie over the past 30 years has included dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, birds, and fish. Currently owned by energetic husky girl named Tikanni Rose and a sweet tortie kitty named Willow. I have a college age daughter living at home who can take of my fur baby while I take care of yours. I have experience with senior pets, puppies, and kittens, and previously fostered for a cat rescue. I'm retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies. I am available for pet sitting services in your home, including overnight stays or drop in visits, and dog walking. Home owner on a quiet cul-de-sac with a fully fenced yard. Will schedule a meet and greet to ensure I fully understand your pet's needs. Happy to provide photos and videos.
“We couldn't be more thankful to have found Lauren and Ernest! Our 3 kitties can be a handful but they love both Lauren and Ernest and look forward to their visits while we are away. They're both very communicative, send great updates, and go above and beyond. This is our 3rd time working with them and they'll be out go to pet sitters every time we need one. Highly recommend!”
“Rose is absolutely amazing! She stepped in on short notice to care for our two cats while we were at the hospital for our baby. Her response time was incredibly fast, her updates were thoughtful and detailed, and our kitties adored her. We cannot recommend Rose highly enough!”
About: My name is Samantha! I am teacher and have breaks to help out other dog owners. I have owned dogs my whole life. I am very safe and responsible and am used to managing 30 kids all day, I can definitely handle a couple pups! I will be very respectful of your time and can be flexible to accommodate you and your pup. I love going in walks, and would love to take yours on safe ones as well. I can do drop in visits and overnights as well, thank you!! I am off for tbe summer so I have lots of time currently! I no longer have pets of my own anymore, so it's even easier for me to make space in my schedule. I have a yard but it is not fully fenced so pets would always be leashed. I no longer have any animals in my home.
“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.”
“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.”
“Mandi followed all the directions I left for her and sent many pictures of her short 30 minute visit with my pups! It was a hot day, but she still made sure they got a low key outdoor break during her time with them.”
“Morgan is fantastic! We recently used her for drop in visits with our very shy and skittish cat. She did fantastic and our cat even greeted her. We had an excellent meet and greet and Morgan was very attentive and took lots of notes, asked important questions regarding our cats care and the apartment. Morgan is very polite, communicative, and caring! On top of watching June she helped keep the home tidy and refreshed 💖 We will definitely be using her again in the future! I feel comfortable with leaving our cat and home in her care.”
“I have a diabetic cat who's afraid of everyone and requires insulin injections 2x a day. I have not been able to find anyone willing to take on this challenging situation, until I found Cassie on Rover. I swear she can walk on water and is a cat whisperer. She took the time to come and watch me do a glucose test and insulin injection before the first trip I've been able to take in 7 yrs , knowing she would take good care of Punkin. I was gone for 8 days and she came twice a day and Punkin didn't hide from her like she does with everyone but me. I could not recommend her highly enough and will definitely be planning longer trips, using Cassie without worrying my cat would suffer. If you want a sweet, reliable and caring cat sitter, you want Cassie on Rover.”
“You will not find a better sitter for your furry loved ones. She let us know all the details which is a big relief because 3 of ours are seniors with health problems. They all were very happy and stress free when we got home. It is a big relief to know we can plan days out without worry now. Thank you so much.”
“Andrhu was so kind and flexible. When access to the house was unavailable, at my poor planning, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating. It is more appreciated than he may know. He was very thorough as well during his drop in visits for our 2 pups.”
“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.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have years of experience caring for my own pets, as well as helping friends and family with theirs. I have a Bernedoodle, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and know how important it is for them to get exercise, attention, and consistency throughout the day. Whether it’s a walk to burn off energy or a drop-in visit for potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and tailor each visit to their needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands. I work remotely in mornings, so am available to take your furry friend on their morning or lunch walk! I am also happy to drop in and check in on your pup if you’re away. I have a puppy proof home with a fenced yard. I do have a two year old Bernedoodle, Benny. He is very friendly and gets along with other dogs!
About: I want to provide the best experience and care for your pets! Whether it’s walks around the neighborhood, playing at the park, cuddles, etc. At the moment I’m not able to have a pet of my own, and miss the true companionship and joy that caring for them brings. It is truly fulfilling. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing that your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy! I work Sunday through Thursday and am available for pet care after 2 PM on those days. I have more flexibility for longer house sitting stays from Thursday afternoon through Saturday evening. I’m happy to work with your schedule! Every furry companion requires special care, unique to them! No dog or cat is the same. I follow all instructions for your pets with great detail.
“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🐾”
“We are so lucky to found Brittany! Her and her daughter took such great care of our cat. We appreciated the detailed updates and lots of photos/videos. In addition to proving our cat with such great attention, his food and potty area were cleaned. We had such a worry free vacation. We highly recommend her to sit your fur baby, no doubt!!!”

Axell is good vibes and cares for my car babies (both are 10.5 years old) as if they are his own. He’s kind, responsible and very detailed! Axell even caught that 1 of our water fountain motors were not working, notified us so we could order a new one and even went back just to see if there was anything that could be done to fix it. Got super lucky to have found Axell. Your babies, home and vibes will be lifted up and cared for with Axell.
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lakeland South on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 6,404 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.
