“Marianne is an angel and I did not worry about my girl’s care while we left her and our home in Marianne’s care. We are all blessed to have met Marianne and to have engaged her pet sitting services for our senior girl. Highly recommend in every way!”
About: My passion for animal care is very strong! I love meeting new cats and dogs and becoming a part of their routine. I have roughly 10 years of experience with pet sitting, as well as two years of experience working in a veterinary clinic. I have cared for aggressive and anxious dogs and cats and understand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy sitter. I love working with animals of all age ranges, and am comfortable giving medication. I’d love to meet your pets and help in whatever way I can! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to do drop-ins and dog walking! I’m unsure how my cat Goose would react to dogs, so I’m keeping boarding turned off for now. I am available weekdays and weekends. I am happy to spend time with your pets in your home whether it be playing or just keeping them company. I’m also happy to do dog walking or playing in the yard.
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Yasmine is incredibly loving, attentive, respectful, and responsible. Toby (my dog) absolutely adored her because of how caring and affectionate she was with him. She even bought him toys, and they spent so much time together throughout the day. She also constantly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel reassured that Toby was happy and well taken care of at all times. I highly recommend Yasmine with complete confidence to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pets.”
“Bridie was amazing. She took care of our little pup like he was her own. They spent the weekend together and he loved her!!!! She was responsive and we would recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter!!! 100% recommend”
“Claudia was professional, communicative, and so so sweet to my pup. It is always a little scary to trust someone new with your pet, but she made both me and my pup feel at ease. I'd absolutely book her again.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and honestly, sometimes I prefer them to people! I’ve had dogs ranging from Shih Tzus to Rottweilers (always had a soft spot for big dogs). I’ve also had my cats, Parker and Victor, for the past 12 years. One is extremely needy and the other could not be more independent, but they’re both very loving. I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us because mine are a big part of my life. Because of that, I’m looking to get to know some new furry friends and give them the same kind of attention and care I’d want for my own while their parents are away. P.S: If your pet likes cuddles they’ll love me! I’m currently working my full time job, and I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. However, with enough planning I could make most schedules work. Nobody knows a pet better than the pet parent so I’m very adamant on following any rules and pointers I’m given, the same way I’d expect my pet sitter to listen to my guidance.
“Marissa took wonderful care of our house and three dogs. The house was clean when we returned, communication was great throughout the stay, and it was obvious our dogs were well cared for and loved on while we were away. We came home to happy pups and total peace of mind. I have already booked her again!”
“Had Ryan watch our little Disco during our work trip to Chicago. During the trip, we received daily updates, along with cute photos and videos of his walks and play time, and we felt great knowing he was having a good time. Ryan is a great sitter; A+ and would definitely book again!”
“Brenda did a wonderful job taking care of our pets while we were away. She showed so much love, patience, and genuine care for them. We felt very comfortable knowing they were in such good hands and would absolutely recommend her.”
About: I am your official dog aunt! I do not have any pets at my home so that is why I have so much love to give to yours 🥰 My care level ranges from the puppy stage to senior care. I have experience with different breeds, sizes, and levels of care. I treat and love them as if they were my own family. I do pet sitting and walking full time so my available range is open. My day-to-day and weekly schedules are constantly fluctuating based on the bookings. Basically, what you need is what you will get from me. Whether it’s the basics of safety and care to more personal and specialized service, I look after and take care as if it is my own.
“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!”
“Justin was great! He watched our two boys on back to back weekends. He was a great communicator and kept us updated and threw in some cute pictures too! Seemed liked our boys were comfortable with him and as a pet parent that is all we could ask for!”
“Amanda was awesome! She was quick to respond and accommodate a last minute overnight. She updated us regularly and followed all instructions. She was able to navigate my older dog’s needs which made us feel at ease while away. We will definitely be using her as our regular sitter!”
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. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure each dog is monitored at all times and cared for according to their routine and comfort level.
“Its my first time using Rover and Reebah, and it was a great experience. Her communication gets +5 stars. She kept me informed, asked questions when there was doubt, and sent me pictures with updates. I definitely recommend her.”
“I can't say enough good things about Kara! She went above and beyond while taking care of my dog, Luna, and my two cats. Not only did she shower them with attention and make sure all their needs were met, but she also took the initiative to clean up very well after herself and the pets, and even gave Luna a bath! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, clean dog. I received multiple pictures and videos every day with clear communication. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will be rebooking, and so far she’s the only one in the area i have thought that about. Loved!”
“We have been using Greg to care for our dog Emma for 3 years and can’t say enough about how much we appreciate him. We also recently got a cat and he cares for her just as well. Our animals are well taken care of, get plenty of pictures, and our athletic dog gets tons of dog park time. We use him every time we travel!”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and currently have a French Bulldog of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving lots of attention and affection. I currently take time out of my life to foster dogs in need from the shelter. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure you receive plenty of updates and photos while they’re in my care. My schedule allows me plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and quality time throughout the week. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by each owner. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and always make sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and given plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Whenever someone is watching my dog, I want multiple pictures a day so I totally understand the need for updates on your pup.

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!
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!
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!

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 Lauderhill 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 Lauderhill 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lauderhill 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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
