“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.”

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.

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: 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.

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.

About: Hi! I’m Amanda Briggs, and I have extensive experience caring for and training dogs. I’ve raised and trained my own dogs from puppies, including helping care for litters until they were ready for new homes. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love working with animals. I’m happy to walk, feed, play, and work on basic training if desired. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I can also help with light cleaning if requested. Your pet will be in caring, experienced hands — I look forward to meeting you both! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for walks, feeding, play, and individual attention. I prioritize consistency and reliability, making sure each pet’s routine is followed closely so they feel comfortable and secure. For in-home care, I follow each pet’s routine closely to maintain comfort and consistency. This includes feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and providing companionship and supervision. I keep the home clean and secure and make sure pets feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. For dog walking, I focus on safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs. I reinforce good leash manners, remain aware of surroundings, and ensure dogs get both exercise and mental stimulation. I always prioritize safety and reliability while providing regular updates to owners.

About: I have experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes by supervising play, walking, and bathing them! I’ve also been dog walking and pet sitting for the past 5 years. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, and I focus on keeping every pet safe, happy, and well cared for. I stand out for my reliability, attention to detail, and the extra effort I put into learning each pet’s routine and personality so they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I also live an active lifestyle, so I enjoy staying active with dogs through regular walks and exercise, making it easy to keep them happy, engaged, and well cared for. I provide care based on each pet’s routine, whether in my home or my client’s. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Okeechobee on Rover is $14.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 509 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Okeechobee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Okeechobee stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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. 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.

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.

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.
