“Glad to have a rover like Rose. She sent pictures and updates daily on how each drop in visit with my cats went and also emptied the litter boxes and litter robot. I will definitely book her service again.”
“Lauren and Ernest provided excellent care and love to our pets- we have a very temperamental cat who loves Lauren, an affectionate doggo who soaked up all the snuggles from Ernest and our lizard Rocky enjoyed a salad prepared by Lauren. The two of them have extensive pet experience and cared for our three pets like their own. Thank you!!”
“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🐾”
“Provides exceptional service to our pups. She sends us great pictures, descriptive updates, and offers to do more than what was initially requested. Our dogs love Heather. She treats them like they are her own, and we could not be more grateful!”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
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.
“Really nice to work with and knowledgeable with what needs to been done e when situations arise from the unexpected. I will definitely call on Mariana to help my family out again. Thanks!”
“I always trust Issana with my baby cat any time I'm in need of a sitter. My cat is well taken care of with her and Issana is so caring and attentive with him. 10/10 would recommend ❤️”
“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 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!!!”
“Emma was so kind and attentive with my sweet pup Pepita. She made sure all her needs were met and gave her tons of love during her drop-in visits. I would highly recommend her!”
“Mandi was the best! She took great care of my cats and was totally comfortable and willing to do insulin injections. She clearly cares a lot about animals and I felt very safe leaving mine with her!”
“Morgan is really good with my dogs, she was on time for their drop in visits and she played the entire time with them. She dried off the wet pups before letting them into the house which was appreciated. I will be rebooking with her!”
About: I've never been without pets in my life, big dogs and small, as well as multiple cats. I have a limited experience with guinea pigs and hamsters. I am currently going through Vet Tech school with Pierce college. I also have been volunteering at the Auburn Valley Humane Society and there cat cafe for some time now. With our 3 pups and 2 cats they get quite a bit of play time in our 5 person household. Cats are my responsibility so every day they get their litter boxes cleaned, water and food is full and clean, and that my older cat got his meds. Our dogs get poop cleaned a few times a week and are fed twice a day. It has blended into my day to day life to make sure they are happy and healthy. Watching body language is key, every animal is different on whether they want to be left alone, approached slowly or are happy as can be. The first part of Vet Tech school was body language and how to approach with everyone's safety in mind.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Lakeland South is $25

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 July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 South. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
