About: I once fostered a very cute polydatcyl cat named Cleo and enjoyed every moment of having a fur friend around. I did not mind at all the responsibilities involved in her care and wellbeing. It only lasted for a year but I am sure Cleo remembers/misses me as much as I miss her. I respect all forms of life and I aspire to gain trust and experience in my community. I currently have full time availability. I do have extensive professional background working in leadership roles so I am very responsible and have always prioritized humanity over production. I also enjoy cooking in my free time. While in a client's home, I am very observant of hazards and potential causes for problems. My time will be spent fully attentative to the unique care instructions left by the pets family and also will remain acutely aware of the pets wellbeing for the entire duration of my stay. I have foundational knowledge in cat and dog behavior as well as an understanding of appropriate first aid if ever needed.

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs of all sizes, cats, gerbils, chinchillas, rabbits, and fish. I’m familiar with basic obedience commands and enjoy helping reinforce training routines while you’re away, so your dog stays consistent with their progress. My passion for animals means your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. You can relax knowing they’ll receive the same love and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work and attend school during the day Monday through Friday, but I’m available for morning and evening visits before and after my schedule. My service area is close to home, so I can easily plan around my work and class times to make sure pets get the care they need. Weekends tend to be busier for me, but with advance notice, I’m happy to schedule visits or walks. I’m also open to a few overnight stays when needed, though I limit them since I have my own pets to care for at home. I’m very attentive to animal body language and always make sure to approach each pet calmly and respectfully. When entering a client’s home, I start by greeting your pet softly and observing their comfort level before approaching. I take my time to build trust, ensuring they feel safe and secure in their own space before any interaction. Once your pet and I are both comfortable, I carry out the visit’s tasks—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or general care—while keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm. My goal is always to make your pet feel relaxed, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

About: I grew up taking care of our Newfoundland from a puppy. I was his primary caretaker for brushing him, walking him, and feeding him. When I moved out, I helped my parents take care of him until he passed a few years ago from arthritis in his hips. Since I moved out, I adopted two cats from the shelter. I recognize that our animals are part of our families. I follow directions and schedules well, and will strive to provide the best care for your furry family members. I work 7am-3:30pm Mondays through Fridays, so I’m primarily available in the evenings during weekdays. I’m fully available on weekends for pet care. I also have most/federal holidays off, so I will be able to work long weekends. I will use whatever supplies that you have and your pet prefers. I will not bring anything else without your permission. I will make sure to follow directions and schedules as closely as possible, and keep you informed of how your pet is doing.
“Lillyanne asked questions on the initial meet and greet so my dogs were fed and let out just like if I was home. Her communication was outstanding and we were sent the most adorable pics of the pups. Would most definitely book again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lynford
Tori is excellent with our kitties! We always feel comfortable leaving them when she is caring for them. We know they're being well cared for. Tori is attentive, caring, and respectful of our asks and the kitties' needs. We will certainly have Tori back again!
First time working with Toni. She was excellent! From the first meeting she put us at ease. We have two cats that can be timid and she went the extra mile to get them to interact with her. Toni is quick to respond to any questions prior to service and during the service. Very professional as well a personable. Our cats did fine.
Stephanie was great! She stopped in as she was scheduled every day. She let me know if there were any issues, brought in my packages and trash cans. She kept me updated with how they were eating, behaving and going potty. I received a lot of pictures and peace of mind. She had no problem doing a meet and greet before we left. Highly recommend Steph for your pet sitting needs!
Carmen is phenomenal! She is communicative, timely, and thoughtful during her visits. One of my kitties is very shy and hides whenever new people arrive. She was patient and sat with her until she came out for some love. Another one of the cats needed medicine for anxiety and she was able to give him his meds without any issue. Our dog loves her as well and is always so excited to see her. I’m so glad we found Carmen!
Jamie is amazing! So trustworthy, readily available, genuinely caring about the pets he’s looking after & just all around great! I’ve used him a couple times now and am looking forward to using his services again going forward! He send pics and updates with every visit even without request. My cat got anxiety while I was away and he tried to do what he could to help & asked for updates about her afterwards!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lynford is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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. 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.
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.
