About: I’ve had family pets ever since I was brought into this world, and my life would’ve been incomplete without them! In terms of experience, I worked as a dog handler for a summer and worked with dogs of all types, sizes, and personalities! I’m taking a summer off before my last semester of college, and thought that maybe I could make this a part time gig for the time being, so my availability is incredibly flexible, especially in the month of July. In my home, I stay consistent with basic pet care rituals like feeding and watering, potty breaks, and play time! For my clients, I do exactly as they ask in order to keep both me and their pet safe and cared for!
About: Growing up with 2 dogs, I know the amount of pure joy and giggles all doggies bring to families! I grew up with 2 little Dachshund (wiener) Dogs named Frankie and Lily! They were both so smart and oddly enough thought they could fly! They knew every night at exactly 9pm it was officially SNACK time! As they both aged, I spent much time carrying them up/down stairs, walking them and bringing them to appts such as Vet, Chiro and other therapies. There is no greater experience than coming home to your best friend wagging their tail. My main job is supporting the deaf/hard of hearing in the twin cities. My work experience allows me to get a sense of my surroundings quickly. I have experience house sitting, walking dogs and also taking dogs to vet/grooming appointments. Now I have 2 fur babies Highlander cats, Gracie and Fynn. ❤️ can’t believe I lived so long without my kitty cats!!
About: I set the intention of pet care to being a friend to your pet and partner to you. I respect boundaries and priorities as needed. I currently work flexible hours throughout the week based off clientele. This would be an addition to my job as some days I have the entire day off or atleast half of it. Your pet always comes first. I take care of others pets like I’d expect a stranger to walk in and take care of mine. I want to leave with the intention that if I were to come back, your pet would open the door.
About: I've raised three dogs from puppies and one from 1yr old. I've cat/dog/fish sat for friends. I love nature and animals. Outside of work, travel/parenting/scuba diving trips are preventing me from being a full-time pet owner currently but I still want to sneak in some fuzzy cuddle time. I typically do four six hour days in office a week and complete the rest of my day from home or yours but that can be flexible when needed. I'm pretty flexible over the weekend. I like to get my daily steps in and happy to take your pup with. I like to play and snuggle on the couch or floor depending on house rules.
About: I have had a dog (yellow lab) since I was in sixth grade, and I have taken care of coworker’s pets on occasion. I now have a rescue pitbull I love dearly. I can walk and play and sit with your pet to make sure they feel loved and have fun. I am currently out of school for the summer and I have a very flexible schedule, and I would love to come hang out with your pets! I like to hang out with animals and make them feel comfortable; I have a nice large fenced in backyard, and I have a car that I can take your pet in, if they like going in the car. I am used to giving a dog two walks a day, in the morning and evening.
“Sarah took care of our cats, and I’ve came back to a clean fresh litter. She even clean some of the cats poop outside of the litter and feed/refill water. Definitely recommend her services. Thank you!”
“Chloe was a superb dog sitter! We are so grateful she could stop in to care for our senior dog when we needed extra support. Would totally have Chloe back again.”
“Abigail was wonderful with my boys, and very communicative each time she dropped in to care for them. It was a holiday week so I was very happy to have gotten her booked.”
About: Highly driven and empathic individual passionate about community organizing, art, and animals. An avid learner always looking for opportunities to help and care for others, and comfortable communicating and working with diverse groups of people. An excellent leader that thrives in team settings as well as remote, independent positions - and contributing with my own expertise. My most recent pet position was as a Veterinary Technician at Minnesota Spay Neuter Assistance Program. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages and breeds, including experience with feral animals. I have flexible availability to ensure pets are well taken care of and loved! 🥰 I adore animals and treat them as honored guests. I have familiarity with the proper way to approach dogs and cats and care for them in ways that makes them feel safe and comfortable. I will be able to care for your pet throughout the day and make sure dogs get a minimum of two walks a day, in the morning and in the evening.

“Jessica did a great job with drop in visits to check on my cat. She was amazing with communication and reliable. I would recommend her and I would re-book her again!”
“Marissa took care of my 3 y/o poodle, Milo, while I was traveling internationally. We had never left him for more than 5 days before. We left him at home and she dropped in several times per day. Marissa also took him on outings and spent extra time in our home so he wouldn’t feel so lonely. She helped keep his anxiety at bay and provided compassionate fun-loving care ?. She remained responsive to my questions (and add-on drop-in requests) at all times, despite her own crazy schedule. ? He clearly loved her and missed her while she was away as well ! Will definitely keep her in mind for future visits,etc. Synopsis: Book this girl for your pet care! ✅ ?”
“We recently hired Abby as our cat sitter for a one-week vacation, and we couldn’t be happier! Abby took great care of our three sweet kitties, providing them with lots of love and attention. We loved seeing what the kitties were up to each day! It was clear that our fur babies loved her, as they greeted her by the door each day! Abby kept us updated with adorable photos and messages each day - we haven’t been away from them for this long before so it really put our minds at ease. We highly recommend her for cat sitting and we will definitely reach out to her again for our next trip. Thank you Abby for being so sweet to our kitties!!”
About: I grew up with a house full of pets. From cats to dogs, to birds. My dad was a animal lover, and so am I. I would love the opportunity to care for your fury friend. From walks, to fetch, and cuddles and pets. I am currently unemployed, I have free time throughout the day, every day. Reach out with your needs and I will get back to you promptly! I have two cats and a medium sized rescue dog. My cats grew up around large dogs so they took no time adjusting. I have trained my rescue to become an inside housed pup, he has learned a lot of manners.

About: I grew up with two cats and two dogs of whom I adore more than myself or anyone I know. I also work at a veterinary clinic, so am surrounded by pets on a day to day basis annd have lots of resources and knowledge to help our animal counterparts. Our animals are the cores of our being and they deserve love from whomever is their guardian. I love to play and cuddle with our creature counterparts ❤️ I’m currently available to care for and love any animal in need of a sitter, I work full time but have a flexible schedule to make sure your pet has the attention it needs and deserves. I care for my pets by playing with them, forcing cuddles (even when they don’t want it) making sure they have ample time in the outdoors if that is their thing, and keeping a close watchful eye on them at all times.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover, experienced cat and dog owner, and reliable sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making them feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I have experience caring for multiple cats and a dog with varying personalities and understand how important routine, patience, and attention to detail are when it comes to pet care. I’m happy to provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication administration if needed, and regular photo updates for peace of mind. Outside of pet care, I work in customer service focused roles that require responsibility, communication, organization, and staying calm under pressure which all translate well to pet sitting. I’m also very active and enjoy dog walking as a way to stay outdoors and moving. As a pet mom myself, I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive care for every animal I work with! I currently work an 8-5 in-office job but am always up early for a drop in or a walk before work, or afterwards for a play session or drop in! Weekends are usually wide open for me and I would love to spend a portion of them providing care and love to pets missing their owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as best I can and creating a calm, comfortable experience while their owners are away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise and enrichment needs, medication instructions, and any household preferences provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I adjust my approach accordingly—whether that means active playtime, long walks, or simply providing a quiet and reassuring presence. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, reliability, and attentive care.

I watch pets in our neighborhood almost every week as our neighbors have come to enjoy and rely on my pet care services I have watched pets in my home but have additionally visited neighbors and stayed at their home to watch pets overnight. I am comfortable caring for pets in any of these enviroments.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lauderdale
Cindy was perfect. She seems to truly care about dogs, especially ours. It was a comfort to know she could drop in twice to care for our Dear Floyd on our daughter’s wedding day. She followed all instructions and kept us updated. It was a comfort and a relief.
Mad did a drop by visit with our two dogs, in preparation for a longer stay ahead with them. Mad was conscientious and attentive with our dogs, and very willing to do what was necessary to help them feel comfortable (especially one of our dogs, who finds meeting new people a little scary). Mad clearly understands dogs and has a wealth of experience to draw from. We feel confident our dogs are in good hands!
Sara was a great drop-in sitter for my cat and dog! I recently adopted my dog and wanted someone to check on her (and my cat) over lunchtime when I had work obligations. Sara’s visit and report card provided me peace of mind. Sara was also willing to meet my pets ahead of the actual visit and I really appreciated that! When I came home to my pets, both were happy and relaxed and I could tell Sara’s visit really made the difference. I would highly recommend Sara!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lauderdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lauderdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lauderdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
