Cat Sitting in Polk City

“Thank you so much, Shawnee for taking care of our sweet bean while we were away! She showed up on time, provided reports and photos, and went above and beyond for our kitty. If we ever go away again, she will be the first call I make!”

Cory C.

“We went out of the country for our wedding/honeymoon for 6 weeks, and it was only possible thanks to April's help. The pictures she sent and updates about the kitties made us feel better about being away for so long. She's helped us for multiple trips now, we're so grateful to have a caring and trustworthy petsitter so close to us!”

About: Hi! I recently moved from New York to Florida and I have 8 years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting, with a strong background in providing loving, reliable care. I worked for a company Suburban Pets and also on my own and now I am on Rover. My services include dog sitting in your home, walks, drop ins, playtime, feedings, cleaning, and administering medications as needed. I also have hands-on experience from volunteering at a senior dog rescue and am proud to have adopted three senior and disabled dogs of my own. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, compassion, and attention to their individual needs. I currently work part-time as a kennel tech at a dog rescue in Lakeland, where I care for dogs twice a day on Monday, Wednesday, Thurs & Fridays (8:00–11:00) AM and 3:30–6:00 PM). On Tuesdays I only work one shift in the morning (8:00–11:00 AM). I am able to visit before, in between and after my shifts. I am completely available on weekends and can provide flexible scheduling outside of my rescue shifts. Pet care is a full-time commitment for me and an essential part of my daily routine. I’m fully dedicated to providing reliable, consistent care and am available any time I’m needed—weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always start by getting to know each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs or health concerns. In the home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment. I follow all instructions closely, keep communication open with regular updates, and treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I give my own.

About: Hello, I'm Sheryl Lynn, I own a home here in the area that is perfect for dog owners who enjoy walking their dogs in a safe gated community with pet friendly likeminded neighbors. In the past, I’ve always had a house full of dogs... mostly very spoiled spaniels who required a lot of attention, exercise, ear cleaning and grooming. That changed after our youngest of the last pack crossed the rainbow bridge, I took 4 years to grieve to take some vacation time with my better half. Missing all the pitter patter of paws through the house, I found pet sitting for friends and family gave me some much-needed puppy love. I have a lot of experience dealing with dogs at all stages of life from whelping, puppyhood, the very energetic, those who are deaf, blind or have medical issues such as ear infections, seizers, Cushing’s disease etc. to the elderly dog who may need a little more patience and understanding for issues that come along with age. I have taken in dogs who have had major surgery to aid in their recovery where the owner was not able to, expecting mommas and I also have experience with service dogs and the house rules that apply to them, especially during their training period. I own my own business and work from home, so most recently decided to adopt a little 12lb spaniel mix I fell in love with. As I have learned over the years, once you have one pup, what's one more in our daily routine! However instead of adopting more to leave travel options open, I opted to pet sit again, as our little guy loves to socialize. There is nothing better than being surrounded by dogs who love life! Your pet(s) will always have someone to interact with and play with throughout the day. Pups that need to go out a lot are welcome, even in the middle of the night, as I already have one with a tiny bladder. Although I live in a clean and organized home for my own sanity, it is very pet friendly as I had to puppy proof my home. Also have 2 guest rooms all set up for our pet guests should you/they prefer them to sleep in a crate or need a quiet space, and/or they can enjoy the run of the house if you/they choose to. In addition, have a privately fenced pet friendly backyard they can enjoy, which I always accompany them 100% of the time they are outside. I always crate pets if I must run out but never gone more than 2 hours at a time, if at all. If you are comfortable with me walking your dog… I do so every morning and evening within our tree line street gated community. Most pups will love all the squirrels and places to sniff and leave pee-mail. Perfer your pets to stay in their own environment? I do offer drop bys 1 to 4 times a day. Overnight pet sitting in your home can be arranged as well as house sitting too. I have 30 years experience in property management managing high end single family homes as a licensed real estate broker who owns multiple brokerages and offices through out Central Florida. Your home is in good hands should you need extra tasks completed while you are away. If you are anything like I am, I have a hard time leaving my pet(s) with anyone worrying about this and that… so I’m more than happy to provide concierge services that meet your pet’s needs, along with video calls and/or photo updates during their visit with us. I treat every animal as my own and guarantee they will feel very loved and entertained during their stay. Please reach out if you have questions and/or would like to meet.

“There are not enough good things to say about Melanie!! My dogs took to her like she was family. She was very caring with them and went above and beyond to make sure my pups were happy. She always came on time and gave great updates. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of them. She is a lovely person and I would recommend her wholeheartedly. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I've cared for dogs since I was 13 and have been catsitting for the past 8 years, fueling my lifelong love for animals. Today, that passion shines through in caring for my own two hound mixes—a spirited 5-year-old large and an energetic 3-year-old medium. I provide each pet with personalized attention, boundless love, and a safe, engaging environment where their unique personalities thrive. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I have a very flexible schedule and can devote plenty of time and attention to your pet. I'm available every day between 9 AM and 9 PM, which means I can be there when you need me—whether it’s for a morning walk, an afternoon check-in, or an evening cuddle session. I love being around animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I take pride in providing attentive and loving care for pets! My spacious backyard is perfect for playing fetch with my dogs, and I ensure they stay active with regular walks. I follow a consistent feeding and medicine routine for my pets, and when pet-sitting, I adhere to the schedule your pet is accustomed to, ensuring their comfort. I have a deep affection for both cats and dogs, and I'm happy to handle everything from cleaning up accidents to offering cuddles, making sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you're away.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, they were like my best friends. Taking care of animals is also a form of therapy, they can sense the good and bad and that’s what makes me love them more :) I’m a college student who is just looking for side hustle to pay my tuition and bills, I’m basically free all day everyday just looking to make some money on the side :) It’s just me and a 5 acre lot, no wild animals and it’s fenced in so your animals will always be safe and within eye distance. They are more then welcome to roam the house and land and make themselves at home :)

“Madison did a great job taking care of our four kitties! One of them needed insulin shots twice a day and she was able to deliver. I was anxious about having someone new watch our kitties, in the end everything worked out great!”

“We moved too far from our previous sitter and we were fortunate that Laurie was able to step in on short notice. When we got home they had fresh water, food and clean litter boxes. Our four cats didn't seem happy to see us at all?. I'm going to take that as they were happy with Laurie.”

About: Hey! My name is Monica and I am originally from Louisiana but relocated to Florida for work purposes. I have 1 cat & a medium size dog along with having my spouse (ft in my profile picture) & my baby girl (15 mo currently) that all live in my house. We do have a nice size fenced in yard as well. Back home I took care of a few different types of animals & am very open to taking in any animal as long as they got along with my babies, human & animal kind alike. The pitties on my profiles are my original babies that I no longer have but they started this journey for me, my current puppy is the black & tan goofball you see featured after them followed by my tan cat; after that are just some extra pictures of my family/furry friends I’ve watched over the years for reference. We do have plenty of areas to go for walks & I am a big fan of dog parks for socializing if it is allowed. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds as I’ve grown up with animals, have taken care of my own animals for 8 years now, & have been doing Rover & wag for about 4 years now. Please message me if you have any questions! Can’t wait to meet you and your babies!! I currently run a fairly busy schedule as I am typically working 5 days a week at about 8 hrs a day but after work I usually go straight home to relax. I also have my partner who typically works different shifts than me & is home Thursdays/Fridays while I’m off Tuesdays/Wednesdays. We are both huge animal lovers & we love giving spoils. Although my schedule is hectic with work & a baby, I always manage to find time to do what I need to do & if I know I can’t meet your expectations, I will definitely let you know! In my home & at yours, I will treat your babies just like I treat mine. I am willing to pick up after them, care for them, play with them, etc. as needed whether that be being a little more active by going to the park or just enjoying cuddles on the sofa.
