“We are so glad we booked Marianne to watch our babies for 5 days. This was our first time ever leaving our babies home and couldn’t bear the thought of boarding them, so here we are. Marianne was punctual, kind, funny and did a wonderful job all around. She will be our first and best only choice in the future :)”
About: Over the years I have cared for a variety of animals, including domestic, exotic, and livestock. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their medically needy animals over the past decade and I am now opening that service up to Rover. I'm not a vet tech but I am comfortable and experienced administering a variety of medical treatments like insulin injections, pill regiments, eye drops/skin ointments, and subq fluids. Leaving town with a pet can be stressful, especially one that needs specialized care. I can help. Currently over all I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have my own small business that is sporadic gig work on the weekends. Most events last 4 to 6 hours, maximum 8 hours, and not every weekend has events. I prefer to pet sit in the home the pets belong to. I find that with most animals it's incredibly stressful to move them, staying in their home with them minimalizes that stress. It also allows for easier medicine administration. I like to meet the pets and owners ahead of staying with them, this is to again reduce the stress on your pet when I show up without you as well as to observe the quality of care you are administering to your fur babies.
“On an emergency last minute notice Delaney came in and helped me and my family out with our pitbull , she took care of so much and went above and beyond to make sure we were up to date letting us know if any issues occurred any questions . She was super informative and very very professional. Couldn’t thank her enough for the peace of mind my wife and I had during our vacation to know we had someone to rely on when family and friends couldn’t absolutely wonderful .”
“Marissa has been so helpful! Our puppy is so energetic, so young, and honestly a handful and Marissa has more than kept up. She makes sure our pup is cared for and she keeps us updated with everything that happens, we feel so comfortable with her around Winston. He can be a little needy, and truthfully so is his dad (lol) and she has been happy to help with all of our specific instructions. We couldn’t have had a better experience!”
“Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our cat Wiki. Becca was very reliable, responsive and dedicated. Photos showed that Wiki was always happy to see her, and very comfortable with her. highly recommended!”
“Bianca was an awesome pet sitter! So happy we found her. 😊 Our two babies loved how she played with them and always made certain that they had fun. We will definitely use her again. 👍 Highly recommend 👌”
“Kelly accepted another short notice request, then extended it a day after my work schedule changed last minute. She is a natural with the dogs, and I was able to focus on my job while out of town knowing the pups were well attended to.”
“Genesis is very good and gentle with animals she spent extra time with my puppy and went out of her way to make sure he didn't leave a mess in the house. She was thorough, I would definitely recommend Genesis to care for your pet.”
“Jazmin was fantastic…reliable, professional and communicative. Most importantly my pets loved her and were well taken care of. She is great at her job and I highly recommend her.”
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: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and patience I give every pet. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether that means keeping up with feeding schedules, going on walks, providing playtime, giving extra attention to senior pets, or simply offering companionship and comfort, I believe every pet deserves personalized care. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to the little details that make pets feel happy and secure. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m committed to following your instructions carefully while making sure your pet feels at home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being loved and cared for. While I’m new to Rover, I’m excited for the opportunity to build trust with families and create a positive experience for both you and your pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and creating a calm, caring environment for them. I’m able to dedicate time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and providing companionship while making sure each pet’s individual routine is followed. I live in a house with a backyard. Big space for your pup to run around in. I provide a calm and welcoming space where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of affection. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I adjust my care based on their energy level, age, habits, and personality.
“Gheraldine did a good job with my cat. Feeding daily - changing the water, cleaning the litter box and giving my cat affection. She communicated if she would be late or early. I do recommend her.”
“Alexandrea is very communicative and she's great with my pup. What more could you ask for? I've hired her multiple times, and I would definitely use her help again :)”
“Ariel was great. We scheduled a 30 minute mid day visit. Ariel was right on time, gave us many photos and an update of the visit. We will definitely rely on Ariel in the future.”
“I can’t recommend Toni enough! She took care of our cat twice a day for a full week and was incredibly reliable and punctual. Not only did she handle the basics like feeding and cleaning the litter, but she actually spent quality time playing with my cat, too. I loved getting the daily photo updates—it really put my mind at ease while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have an older cat who means the world to me, so I understand how important it is to find someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. Since I work from home, your cat will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I also make it a priority to send regular updates and photos because I know how reassuring they are. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m around throughout the day for feedings, playtime, litter box care, and companionship, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. I live in a clean, calm condo and prioritize safety at all times. I keep doors and windows secure, maintain a pet-friendly environment, and closely follow each pet’s routine and instructions.
“I booked Tarah to take out my dog Sasha while I was at work. Sasha is a rescue and very timid around new people. Tarah came to meet her prior to the booking and the day off she did great. Tarah was very patient with Sasha and was able to get her on a leash and outside without a problem. And by the second walk Sasha was even wagging her tail. I’ll definitely book Tarah I’m the future”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for 14 years 🐶 (to my boy Michael Thomasz who is now in doggie heaven 🙏🏼). After his very difficult passing on the family, I volunteered at different animal shelters and rescues bringing awareness to dog adoption and quality care. I decided to create a legacy in Mikey’s name so our love for him may keep on growing in the care for other dogs. I love and care for all dogs deeply as if they were my very own! They are part of the family and they all have a personality of their own! I have experience and expertise caring for special needs and gentle love and patience to give to senior dogs. I focus on a cage-free environment and personalized attention, unlike other dog caretakers. Dogs may not talk but they DO communicate 😃 I am attentive to details to ensure I am providing a safe space full of love and everything they need. I am First Aid and CPR Certified. I am open to get directions on how your loved one behaves, likes, dislikes and anything else I can do to make their stay pleasant and memorable. I provide updates on the actions taken such as feeding, walking and daily activities as well as accommodate pictures and video calls to ensure you have peace of mind. I welcome hearing suggestions and feedback as this is a positive and healthy environment ✨ Check me out with a discount! Promo Code: BETTYV61589 I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your preference in day and times. I prioritize my furry clients and ensure I provide them with uninterrupted quality time during your booking. I am home based for daycare and hotel services. I have a designated exclusive area for your pup and it is cleaned every day to ensure your furry baby is in a comfortable and clean space. I wash and sanitize all the covers, blankets, toys and any other supplies that are used with our dogs. Each dog gets their own clean supplies at the beginning of their stay for daycare and hotel stays. • If I am visiting your home during drop-in visits, I’ll be sure to clean up any doggie messes before I leave. • For walks, I am fully equipped with bags and additional leashes. • I also heavily rely on pet hair rollers to ensure we are hairball free (as much as possible anyway!) • For the safety of our dogs, I ensure all designated doggie areas are free of clutter or other items that may fall on them or cause them any harm.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lauderdale Lakes is $22
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lauderdale Lakes
Marianne was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Rosie. She was thoughtful, attentive, and clearly cared about making Rosie feel comfortable while I was away. One of the sweetest touches was that she even turned on some music for her, which says so much about the care and kindness she brings. Knowing Rosie was in such good hands gave me real peace of mind throughout my trip. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marianne to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Marianne!
Genesis is great! Maybe, the best with my dog, Sophie, when I’m away. Genesis, provided us a drop-in visit, giving Soph treats, affection, and she even fed her for me, which was an unexpected bonus. She did all of this on short notice with not much prior introduction to meeting Soph. Genesis is one of the best and I highly recommend her! Thank you, Genesis!
Lauren took wonderful care of our three cats while we were out of town for a long weekend. She came by beforehand to meet us and the kitties and learn their routine. Each day, she sent us updates and photos, made sure they had fresh food and water, and spent time playing and giving them plenty of love. We highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter! 🐱😺😸
I recently adopted a puppy and today was the first day I left her alone with my other dog for a whole work day. I have a ring camera but still needed that extra assurance that they were okay. I booked a same day (early) drop in and Annelly was available. It was a huge relief and I’m very grateful!
Gaia was so kind and understanding of my babies needs. They immediately responded to her arrival with happy, wagging tails! They really love her! She took pictures and shared them with us, she had no problem asking us questions, and is just truly a reliable, honest and sweet person. Will continue to book her!!!

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 Lakes 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
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.
