“Once again, you came to my rescue, allowing me to go out of town to see my grandkids. I’m so grateful for your service—it brings me such peace of mind knowing my puppy is in your loving and capable hands.”
“I only needed a sitter for one night, but I was so happy with how Tazzy was when I got home! Tazzy is an anxious pup and can be a little particular about new people and changes to his routine, so I’m always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. When I came home, though, he was completely himself—happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You could definitely tell he got plenty of attention and cuddles while I was gone. 🥰 Everything at home was just as I left it, communication was great, and most importantly, I came home to a happy Tazzy. That’s really the best review I can give a sitter! I would absolutely feel comfortable having her watch him again.”
“Yasmine was absolutely amazing! 🥹 She watched my dog for a whole week while I was out of town, and I truly couldn’t have asked for someone better. She was so loving, attentive, and responsible, and she kept me updated throughout the week, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was so happy and comfortable with her, and it was obvious that he was well taken care of. I’m so grateful I found Yasmine and would 100% trust her with my dog again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own! ❤️”
About: CATS- I Have Taken Care Of (and spoiled) My Cat Babies For Three Almost Four Years Now. I have experience providing medical care to my most stubborn cat that had to have emergency surgery early this year. I am experienced with giving pills and liquid medication, taking cats temperatures, and trimming nails! DOGS- I have experience walking and playing with dogs. I have not brought a dog into my home yet because I want to make sure they have plenty of space, but I love to hang out with my family’s and friends dogs, take them to parks, on drives, and more :) I am currently working part time at a dermatology office as an esthetician! This leaves me with availability to help care for pet babies on Mondays Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays after 4, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday all day! I currently have 2 indoor cats and no dogs, I share a one bedroom apartment with my amazing (also animal loving) partner. We do not have a fenced in back yard, but we have lots of land to take walks of our own or walks with dogs :) We have a balcony where my 2 cats love to hangout on and watch birds, leaves, and people.
About: Hi I’m Kacie, I offer dog walking, dog boarding, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, lots of affection, or overnight care while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I can also follow your pet’s regular routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ve spent years caring for my own pets as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My goal is to treat every dog or cat like they’re my own, providing a safe, fun, and loving environment every step of the way. I have a huge fenced in back yard for them to run and play and plenty of room in the house If they want to just lounge around.
“Katelyn was great! I had a long list of details for my dog and Katelyn accommodated everything and was able to work with her when she was a little nervous and barking. She was very communicative and sent me a ton of pictures and updates. Would definitely have her watch Rue again and would recommend to anyone that needed a dog sitter!”
“Ryan has now watched my elderly rescue for a few trips I’ve gone on as well as dropped in for day visits and walks. He is extremely professional, attentive, and warm with her and I am so lucky to have someone that I can trust with her care. I recommend Ryan 100000%.”

About: I’ve spent most of my life around animals, including dogs and horses, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, medications, and providing attentive, calm companionship. My background as a registered nurse has also strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and ability to stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs and comfort. As a nurse with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and occasional last-minute bookings when available. Recent empty nesters. We have a yard and a pool on the property. The pool is not fenced, so pets are always supervised closely when outdoors.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently volunteer with an animal rescue, where I spend time caring for cats, helping with their daily needs, socializing them, and getting them ready for adoption. 🐾 I also have experience caring for pets in my own home, so I understand how important it is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their family is away.

Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just some company, I’d be happy to give them the care and attention they deserve. 💕🐶🐱 I currently work part-time in the evenings, usually from 4–10 PM, but my work schedule varies from week to week.

I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. 🐾 When caring for a pet in their home, I like to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention and enrichment, and a clean and comfortable space. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to let them get comfortable with me and respect their individual boundaries.

I make sure that I follow the proper steps and procedures based on what the family is looking for. I am sure to feed, walk, pet, play, exercise, or hang with your little one!
“Could ask for a better sitter than Gary. Gary made me feel that he genuinely cared for my Dog, genuinely cared for my space and could not have communicated better. Book with confidence.”
“Loved the communication we had throughout the day! Always was quick to respond with photos and information. Our pup was happy to be safe at home and Bridget was respectful of our space. We will 100% book her again!”
“Shaneka was great with my cats! Very patient and understanding when Maizzy took a bit to warm up to her and eat! The house was very tidy and litter cleaned when we got home which was nice. Shaneka followed all instructions and made sure Theos had his meds every morning. I didn't worry at all and will definitely have her sit for us again! I highly recommend Shaneka, reliable, trustworthy, punctual and great with the cats!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lauderdale Lakes
We used Ashley for an extended vacation that we took that we were able to have a relaxing trip knowing that Bailey was in great hands. Bailey loved Ashley from the moment she met her as she is a very shy and cautious girl initially. Ashley had the patience and knowledge with how to put Bailey at ease while we were out of town we felt that our home and our Bailey were both safe in Ashley’s hands. Highly recommend her services! Bailey is going to miss you!
Shaneka is the best cat sitter ever! I highly recommend her! She's great with my cats and leaves the house nice and clean! I get pictures and updates every day! She follows instructions and administers medicine to my older cat! I never worry when Shaneka is caring for my cats! Highly recommend!
Emma was amazing and cared for our dog deeply while we were away…couldn’t have gone any better! Her compassion, communication, & cuddles were top notch. Emma was very loving to our boy Brinx Kelli g us in the loop on his play time & walks etc via pictures we loved to receive while we were away.
Yasmine was amazing with Oliver! She took great care of him and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She kept me updated every step of the way with messages and picture updates, which I really appreciated. She also treated my home with so much respect and left everything just as I had it. I could tell Oliver was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative!
Nydia responded promptly to my request for dog sitting. She came to meet us right away for a meet and greet . We discussed a schedule and and went over pancakes routines. She came every time she promised she would sent lots of pictures. She put my mind at ease knowing my pancakes was being taking care of well we were out of town. I will be scheduling her again for my next trip out of town.
Kristina was absolutely amazing!!! She has so much energy, which is so valuable since I have 2 huskies. She took them on multiple walks a day, took them to the nearby dog park + played with them in our backyard. One of my dogs takes medication for his epilepsy, and she was a pro at administering. She was very communicative, giving me regular updates + photos. She also goes over + beyond!! I didn't expect or request any cleaning, but she insisted, washing bed linens + remaking the bed, cleaning the bathroom, and vacuuming the house! She also thoroughly brushed our dogs, making their coats look better than ever! She even left us all treats on her way out!! My pets had a blast with her + it was great to have someone so reliable + trustworthy so that we could focus on enjoying our vacation. We can't wait to hire her again in the future!
I had an amazing experience with Tanaysia. From the very beginning, communication was clear and reassuring. She was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for my dog as if he was her own. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away.
Lexie was very kind and willing to help us on short notice during an unexpected family emergency, and I really appreciated her flexibility. There were a couple of times when I needed to provide reminders about their established routines, particularly the dogs’ potty schedule, so they didn’t have to go long periods between breaks. However, everything ultimately worked out. My senior dog also has additional medical needs, and she was consistent about making sure he received his medication every morning and night which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She also sent update photos which was appreciated. Overall, I’m grateful she was able to help us during a very challenging week. Thank you, Lexie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lauderdale Lakes on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,626 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lauderdale Lakes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lauderdale Lakes walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lauderdale Lakes maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Lakes 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lauderdale Lakes. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
