From the time I chose Marnie to care for my cat Freedom for two days Drop-In Visits I knew beyond doubt I made the right decision. I especially appreciated her taking photos of my cat on each visit and sharing them to me as well as providing a brief narrative demonstrating the level of care she showed. I am a first-timer with Rover and this process lets me know they don’t just cater to the canines but also to the felines. I learned we both speak “Cat”. Thanks Marnie, it is my pleasure meeting you.

Lillie took wonderful care of my dog and cat during both drop-in visits and overnight stays with her. Lillie went above and beyond for my fur babies. They love her!

About: I have extensive experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. As a devoted dog mom to three pups who lived full lives into their senior years, I understand the love, patience, and special care dogs need at every stage of life. I’ve also fostered numerous dogs over the years and have adopted two senior dogs, giving them a comfortable and loving home in their golden years. In addition to my own pets, I’ve cared for many friends’ and family members’ animals—often on short notice—so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and trustworthy when plans change. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority. I work full time during the week, but my weekends are dedicated to providing loving care and attention to animals. I have a busy household with three grown children, and there is almost always someone home to keep your pets company and ensure they receive the care, comfort, and supervision they deserve. Our home is a pet-loving environment, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playtime, and a safe place to feel comfortable while you’re away. I have experience working with strong and high-energy breeds, including Chow Chows and Pit Bulls. I’m comfortable managing dogs who may need extra structure, including those with food sensitivities, leash challenges, or who require separation from other dogs. I understand the importance of consistency, boundaries, and safety for everyone involved. At home, I have two dogs — an Australian Shepherd mix and a Boxer/Catahoula mix — so I’m very familiar with active personalities and the care they need to thrive.

I would highly recommend Hailey to anyone, she was great. My dogs were very happy and taken care of exactly the way I would’ve wanted them to be. She communicated and sent pictures for each visit. I have two Australian shepherds one is 13 years old and one is 6 and she gave them each the attention that they needed. this is my first time using Rover and I will definitely use Hailey again.

About: I have always owned dogs and considered them as family. I have taken care of family and friends' dogs for about 20 years now and I have always treated them as if they were my own. I work full time, but only 2 or 3 days a week depending on the week. Therefore I'm free about 5 days a week and my schedule is flexible. Also, I live with my parents and sister and whenever I need to run errands, the pups never stay alone. I have a 20x30 yards, fenced back yard. I make them play for a while, feed them as instructed per the owner. If small enough, I let them sleep with me, if allowed by you.

Tiffany did such a great job checking in on my very elusive kitten! She was communicative and did everything I asked of her while I was away- I knew he was in great hands and will definitely rebook with her next time I go out of town. Thank you again!

About: As a child raised on a farm, I developed a natural ability to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. For as long as I can remember, I have provided my pets with everything they need to thrive. I have owned several dogs and cats over the years. I make sure they remain happy and healthy. This includes administering treatments when necessary, bathing them regularly, trimming their nails, keeping up with vaccinations and medical checkups, and providing plenty of affection and companionship on a daily basis. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me. I not only provide for their basic needs, but I also establish a loving bond with my pets through consistent care, grooming, attention, and of course walks and treats. The wellbeing of the animals in my care is of the utmost importance to me. Pet care is completely integrated into my daily routine and responsibilities. From the moment I wake up, my focus is on ensuring the needs of my pets are met. Each morning begins with filling food and water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and walking the dogs. My farm animals also require daily attention in terms of feeding, watering and letting them into their specific areas. Throughout the day, I am constantly checking in on my pets, refilling water, playing with them, and providing comfort and companionship. If any of my pets show signs they are unwell or need to see a vet, I make that my top priority and will rearrange my schedule accordingly to take them to appointments. Even during the nighttime, I am there for my pet and their needs and listen for any sounds that would indicate they want to go outside or need something. Their wellbeing and happiness comes before anything else in my routine. No matter what else is going on in my day, my pets always receive the time, care and love they deserve from me. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I provide for all the needs of the animals under my supervision. Whether at my own home or a client's residence, my focus is always on ensuring the pets remain happy, healthy, and well behaved. I allow the pets outdoor access at regular intervals, taking them for walks when needed. Basic hygiene is a priority, so pets receive routine grooming that includes baths and nail trimming. I play with the animals frequently to and provide lots of affection, hugs, and praise to make sure they feel loved. Their diet is closely monitored. I prepare fresh food and change water dishes regularly. I also secure away objects that could pose a hazard if left where a pet could access them. Regular vet appointments are scheduled to check them out and keep them up to date with everything. I take the pets to parks and other open spaces for fun. My role as a pet caregiver ensures all needs are met and the animals remain comfortable and content, whether at my own residence or under my supervision at a client's home. The pets' happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet I watch. I will take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and favorite activities so they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away. I’m dependable, patient, communicative, and I will keep pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks when needed, and plenty of attention and affection. In my home I am the camp counselor and treat dealer. Making sure everyone gets their tummy’s fed, enough playtime and fresh air , all while keeping a tidy home.

About: Why My Care is Different What sets me apart is the peace of mind that comes with hiring a professional veterinary technician with approximately eight years of experience. My background is rooted in high-stakes environments, including emergency medicine and overnight clinical supervision, which allows me to provide a level of medical oversight that goes far beyond standard pet sitting. Whether your pet is a healthy ball of energy or a senior requiring complex care, I bring clinical precision and a calm, expert perspective to every visit. Specialized Pet Care Expertise Emergency & Critical Care Experience: Having worked in emergency medicine and supervised overnight shifts, I am trained to remain calm under pressure and identify subtle clinical signs of distress before they become crises. Medical Proficiency: I am highly skilled in administering a wide range of medications and treatments, ensuring your pet’s health regimen stays perfectly on track while you are away. Fear Free Certified Professional: I prioritize your pet's emotional well-being by utilizing Fear Free techniques designed to reduce the stress, restricted movement, and anxiety often associated with handling and care. Senior & Special Needs Support: My extensive veterinary background makes me an ideal choice for senior pets who may need extra mobility assistance, specialized monitoring, or palliative care. Advanced Hygiene Standards: I maintain a clinical level of cleanliness, particularly with litter box maintenance and habitat sanitation, understanding that a pristine environment is the foundation of animal health. Professional Services: In addition to sitting, I provide professional nail trims and dremel services and can offer pet bathing and shaving. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine My life is centered around animal care, both professionally and personally. Here is how pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine: Professional Integration: As a veterinary technician with approximately eight years of experience, including emergency medicine and overnight supervision, pet care is the core of my daily professional life. Home & Play Space: I live on 3 acres of property, providing a massive, secure space for plenty of outdoor play and enrichment. Personal Experience: I am a dedicated pet owner myself, caring for my own dogs and cats. Flexible Relief Shifts: I utilize the Roo platform for veterinary technician relief shifts, which allows me to balance clinical work with dedicated pet sitting. My approach to safety and environment is rooted in professional clinical standards and a deep commitment to the emotional well-being of every animal. Whether I am providing care in your home or welcoming a pet to mine, my goal is to create a secure, low-stress atmosphere where health and happiness are the top priorities. Care in Your Home When visiting your home, I bring the observational skills of a veteran veterinary technician to every shift. Medical Vigilance: With eight years of experience in emergency medicine and overnight supervision, I am trained to monitor for subtle changes in behavior or health that could indicate an underlying issue. Fear Free Environment: I utilize Fear Free techniques to ensure that all interactions—especially tasks that can be stressful, like nail trims—are handled with patience and positive reinforcement. Cleanliness & Hygiene: I maintain a clinical standard of sanitation. I take pride in deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping pet areas pristine, as a clean environment is essential for disease prevention and overall comfort. Security Protocols: I am meticulous about home security, ensuring doors and gates are properly locked and your home is respected exactly as you left it. Care in My Home For pets visiting my home, I offer a professional-grade environment designed for both safety and fun. Spacious & Secure Play: I live on 3 acres of property, offering ample room for supervised outdoor exercise, enrichment, and play. Professional Oversight: Your pet is never just "staying" at a house; they are under the care of a professional veterinary technician capable of administering any necessary medications or treatments. Socialization & Comfort: Pets in my care enjoy a home environment alongside my own dogs and cats. I am always mindful of individual temperaments to ensure every animal feels safe and integrated. Emergency Preparedness: Because of my extensive background in emergency clinics, I am prepared to act decisively and calmly in the rare event of a medical emergency.

Lorianne did a great job taking care of our cat, Winnie, while we were away for 5 days. Winnie can be anxious, but Lorianne was patient with Winnie. By day 2, Winnie was rubbing on her. Lorianne sent daily pictures and updates. Highly recommend!

About: I started watching pets for family and friends in the beginning of high school as a way to make extra money, and over the years I have gained experience taking care of dogs and making sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I have also grown up caring for three dogs of my own, so I understand how much love, attention, and responsibility goes into taking care of pets. I currently work part-time, so pet sitting fits into my schedule really well. I have flexibility around my work hours and would love to use that time to take care of pets. I’ve always loved animals and have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for them and making sure they get plenty of attention. I think pet sitting would be a fun way to spend my free time while also earning some extra money. When I’m taking care of pets in their home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and getting the attention they need. I follow whatever routine the owner has for them, like feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them lots of love. I’ll also make sure they have fresh water and that everything is cleaned up. I want the pets to feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away!

About: I have over a decade of experience in walking, sitting and boarding many types of animals however dogs are my specialty. I am certified vet assistant, and currently own my own licensed, insured & bonded pet care service. I have experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs and while I am usually great with all dogs, I have a soft spot for larger breeds and frenchiez, since I myself am the proud owner of two pit bull terriers and afew Frenchiez myself... I have a real passion for caring for animals and I treat every and any pet in my care as my own. While I aim to please every client to the best of my abilities, it is the pet having a great experience that is my main priority. My schedule is flexible, and general availability is 5am to 11pm; however tends to change quite often.. I currently run a licensed pet care service from home so I'm almost always usually home with the pets to care for unless I'm out handling a transport... I care for the pets in my home as if they were my own but I try to keep them on their usual feeding and walk schedule to not offset what the routine the client already has for the pet...

About: I have two beautiful dogs and a gorgeous kitty at home. I love taking care of animals and enjoy walks as well. I am open to house sitting, drop ins, and walks. I regularly take my pups for walks and occasionally my feline friend as well. My senior dogs love the dog park and my cat loves her balcony time. I currently work at a daycare with infants and will soon work at an infant center. I hope to start EMT school in the spring and begin my journey of helping others. Pets should be treated just like people, with respect and understanding. I believe in firm boundaries with all animals. I respect your pets and your home and I will take as many steps as I can to make them feel comfortable around me.

Kristina was exceptional with my fur babies. What started as a 2 day drop in visits turned in to 2 1/2 weeks. She was great in adjusting to my situation. Would highly recommend Kristina and look forward to booking with her again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Okeechobee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Okeechobee on Rover is $14.99 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 239 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Okeechobee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Okeechobee. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
