“I have used Ruth several times and could not be happier with the services she provides. Ruth demonstrates a high level of professionalism, punctuality, and attentiveness to my dog, Frankie. Ruth has excellent communication skills and replies to my messages promptly with pictures of her visit with Frankie. There have been several occasions when I've needed last minute dog walks or visits due to a work emergency, and Ruth always is able to jump in and help me out with last minute notice. Most importantly, my dog Frankie absolutely LOVES her! I highly recommend Ruth for all your animal needs! ”

“10/ 10 ? Amber did an amazing, very thorough job of taking care of our two cats while we were away. She documented every step ( feeding, clean litter boxes, taking out feces to trash) with pictures. She even cleaned up puke from one of the cats and made she they were feeling ok before leaving. We will be using her services again in the future. ?”

“Alberto was wonderful! Warm, friendly, fantastic with my dogs and extremely knowledgeable with tons of experience. He is very trustworthy, professional and easy to communicate with. He showed up when scheduled and my dogs loved getting to spend time with him---plus he brought treats! I highly recommend!”
“Briana did an amazing job checking in our shy senior cat! She was very communicative, and we had no worries that our girl was in good hands while we were out of the country.”

“Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 5 years old! I’ve taken my time to learn animal behaviors and I can assure your pet will be in good hands. I have had the chance of taking care of multiple animals! Ranging from dogs, cats, goats, pigs, many kinds of birds, reptiles, amphibians and many more. Ive also taken care of many animals of many ages in life. I am mostly always free! I am a student just earning money and experience to become a future veterinarian. I have a great passion for all things animal related so I hope to have the greatest opportunity to take care of your pets! (Hablo español) (I cannot stay overnight!) I am currently a student just earning money and studying. So I am almost always free! (unless my parents planned something.) If anything comes up I will always let you know! I have a dog of my own that is very friendly! If you'd like to socialize your pet I can help! I don't mind buying things to ensure your pets needs are met. (within reason and budget of course)
“I'm had an emergency on a Monday morning. By Monday afternoon Micah was booked and taking care of my Daisy and the chickens out back. Flawless communication, attention to detail, above and beyond anything ever anticipated. 5 stars. I highly recommend Micah and will be reaching out for future event forseen or unseen. Thank you Micah and the Rover team”

“We had Elizabeth come for a drop in visit for our two cats over the holidays and she did everything they needed in our absence. She is very communicative and was attentive to the animals and our needs!”


“Our cats were very well taken care of by Vanessa. She was able to drop in last minute, voiced any concerns quickly, and even made us feel great about our home. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I am experienced, responsible, friendly and loved by pets of all ages. Get reliable pet sitting from someone who’s raised a Westie and wrangled puppies. I live and work locally in Lakeland. Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.
About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all. I'm retired, so I can easily work in walks, drop-ins, and sittings during my days. Most days I'm available after 10 A.M., but I'm flexible. I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and multiple pets at once. I regularly cared for a household with five dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m also a pet owner myself (one dog and two cats), so I truly understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I treat every animal like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m reliable, very responsive, and available for last-minute bookings when needed. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, send updates/photos, and make sure you feel completely at ease while you’re gone. I work full time but I am remote, so taking time during the day is no problem in addition to availability in the mornings and evenings. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just companionship, I’m committed to making your time away stress-free for both you and your pets. I’m very respectful of your space and privacy, and I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with small extras like bringing in mail or watering plants.

About: I have taken care of all ages and levels of need dogs and cats (as well as a broad range of other animals like goats, horses, reptiles, guinea pigs, etc). From puppies to senior dogs and cats as well as dogs with extensive medical needs. I can administer insulin/shots and have also given medication in pill and liquid form. Whatever level of care your beloved pet may need, I would love to help! I currently have open availability and can shift my routine to meet your schedule needs. I have a working car if needed for emergencies and I love going for walks. I’m happy to abide by any house rules you have for your space and any additional needs you may have. I send pictures/videos of your furry family member at least once a day and prefer to send them more often if you’re comfortable with that! Typically, I also do plant care as well if I am pet sitting in your home.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid. I also have watched dogs for my friends. My two oldest daughters head off to college this August. My youngest daughter, she will be 12 in September, loves all animals, but especially dogs. I am looking for a way to have more dogs in our house for my daughter to play with. We have one dog, Marley. However, my mom lives next door and she has two dogs, Daisy and Zoe. They visit often. But when we are watching other dogs, they will not visit. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe environment for your pup while you are away. I am able to watch your fury family member any weekend during the school year or June/July over the summer. I am not available: July 6-9 After July 30, I am back at school. I am available to watch your fury family member Friday (after 3:30) until Sunday evening (anytime.) I have a pool for them to swim in and and fully fenced in area around my house. I have about 40 acres we can take leashed walks on if you would like. We do have a few cows and a horse on the extended acreage. My lab/beagle mix loves to play with dogs. She plays well with both small and large dogs.
About: I have lots of hands on experiences in pet care by working with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I have volunteer experience with my local animal shelter, where I had to take multiple training classes in order to start working. I learned proper dog supervision, safe handling techniques, and how to teach young puppies basic commands. I've also dog sat for friends on many occasions. I grew up with dogs in my home my whole life and personally training our newest puppy now. Because of my shelter experience, I am confident in adjusting my approach to fit each dog's personality. I would love nothing more than to spend my free time away from classes to give your dog the love they deserve. As a college student, I am flexible in finding a time to care for your pet's needs with guaranteed availability after 9am on Monday, Wednesday, Friday with the occasional opening in the afternoon Tuesday/Thursday, just let me know. Weekends I am available anytime. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! (Please Note: Because of summer break, I will be unavailable until August. Thank you for your understanding.) I can efficiently follow instructions given, respect the privacy of your home, and ensure walks at your dog's comfortable pace. I understand dogs are like family and will treat them just like my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 11 years. Currently, I have a Boston Terrier who I helped potty train. I also have an Island dog known as a pot cake. I enjoy walking them and playing frisbee, tug, ball etc. with them. I will take excellent care of your pets, and I am reliable, and trustworthy. I am attending college but will have a lot of free time before or after classes, and I am available on the weekends and holidays. I have a fenced in yard. I can also crate or let your pet sleep where they normally would sleep. I also enjoy walking them.
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. As a foster family for the SPCA, I learned to be tender and caring with animals, while walking large dogs has taught me the importance of discipline. Walks usually go around Lake Hollingsworth or to the park! My schedule is flexible. I should be able to meet you and your pets needs and fit your schedule. I look forward to helping out however I can. Walks route through neighborhoods, lakes, or parks, allowing time for exercise, sniffing, and bathroom breaks. I monitor their behavior closely, ensure they stay hydrated, and keep them focused on the workout. If a dog moves unpredictably (or chases squirells etc.) I adjust the route or pace to keep the pet comfortable and safe.
“Kylee took very good care of our cat Ginger! She went above and beyond. She’s very friendly and communicates well. She gives lots of details and it’s obvious that she loves pets and treats them like they’re her own. We highly recommend her if you’re looking for a great pet sitter!”

Lakeshore pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amber is an absolute lifesaver. About the time my dog turned 9 yrs old, he developed separation anxiety. He loves Amber. She is so good with him. She plays with him, let him go in the pool, and gives him lots of good snuggles. She follows all my directions to the letter and is super communicative with me. She sends plenty of messages and photos, and does her absolute best to assure me that Huckleberry is being well taken care of. I could not possibly ask for better care for Huckleberry.

We are so pleased that Ruth took care of our three kitties during our recent trip! We have been uncomfortable about our upcoming trips because travel upsets our kitties and we have to leave them behind. After our trial trip with Ruth, we feel that we can travel this year without the worry because she will give TLC to our sweet cas while we are gone.
