“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: I've been caring for my family's and family friends' dogs ever since I was 10 years old; I've learned what to do in all kinds of different situations and I always make my animal's safety my first priority. I've administered medicines and applied creams to my animals. I am very safe and cautious with the animals I am watching and I remember rules and guidelines that have been established. I am a certified pet groomer so I can bathe, give a haircut, or do your pets nails as well. :) I currently work a mix of at-home and out, but I'm able to leave anytime. I'm off Sundays and Mondays so those days are completely free. I live in an apartment with no other animals. There are dogs parks and lots of grassy areas in my neighborhood. I have pet beds and food/water bowls for pets that I sit.

“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: Hi! My name is Chandler and I am currently still in college. I have the pleasure of caring for a dog and two cats all of whom were rescued when they were young so I have experience with training, crating, and all things that come with overly excited puppies and kittens. Shimmer is an indoor/outdoor cat so I am way too good at removing fleas and ticks. Jingles is a super friendly, Heinz-57, small dog who wanted to walk with three of his friends everyday so I have no problem handling multiple dogs of multiple sizes. I first got introduced to watching over other people’s animals about five years ago. My neighbors, who are snowbirds, had two dogs who were getting older and had a hard time traveling back and forth so they stayed with my family a couple months while they were up north for two years. I understand how every pet has a unique personality and I am committed to getting to what is necessary to keep yours happy and healthy. I really miss interacting with animals so I’m hoping you’ll allow me to give some love to your furry family members!!! I have in person classes on Thursday night. I am also working part-time Friday-Sunday. Each shift is between 4-5 hours and my schedule changes weekly. If needed I can make a set schedule with my job to accommodate your pets! Typically when I do walks, I play and make sure they had something to eat/drink before we go out. I don’t time restraint the animals unless set forth by the owner. I bring a water bowl, a toy, some treats, and doggy bags with me when I walk. If you live near a park I will most likely take your dog there if they are comfortable being around other people and dogs. If boarding in my home or yours I perform the same care as my own furry friends: probably giving them two much attention but I will follow your guidelines for when/how much food, whether or not they are allowed on furniture or should be in a crate, and any other special instructions.

Lillie was wondering in looking after our fur baby! She was very communicative, punctual, and sent pictures daily which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use her caring services and expertise again in the future. Thank you Lillie for peace of mind ;)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Okeechobee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Okeechobee is $15 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $18 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 549 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Okeechobee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
