“Elizabeth was great to work with. She was on time, followed instructions perfectly and most importantly my pups had a great time with her and were well cared for. Thank you!🙏 we will be happy to have you back.”
About: Ive had 12 dogs and 3 cats throughout my whole life, and have taken care of them like they were my sibling.Puppies/Kittens, teenagers all the way to their senior years. I know how important it is to make sure your pets are being taken care properly of while you're not there. Im here to assure that. You may even come home to your puppy knowing a new trick. I am an unemployed college student with 1-2 classes a day. I have an open schedule to be attentive to your pets. Animals also boost my serotonin. I love to be outside or inside, so I am willing to accommodate to whatever your buddy needs. I have plenty of places to attentively let your pet play, walk, or relax with no interruptions. I communicate very well and often, if that is what you prefer with knack for following whatever rules are in place. I have an immense amount of patience, love and attentiveness within me helping me thrive under pressure and care for all beings.
“Cathy was a great house sitter who looked after our two cats while we were traveling. She communicated really well, drove down to meet the cats before confirming the booking, and showed up on time before us leaving to get access to the building. She also did a wonderful job communicating during our travel/ her stay with the cats. She took care of the cats’ medications needs, too! What I loved most about her is how prompt she is about responding to any messages. She kept us updated with pictures and lots of other information. She has been kind to the cats and tolerated them sleeping in/ on her suitcase, ha ha. We found the cats happy and healthy. She also took care of our place, it looks great- just as we left it. She also washed the sheets and towels and overall left the place exactly as she found if not better☺️ She is a kind person, and very personable. We loved having her as a house / cat sitter and will contact her again when we need her care. Thanks much, Cathy! And see you soon ☺️”
“Shawnee was absolutely wonderful!!!!! We cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of our two babies while we were away. She left our house super clean and printed out some photos of the babies along with a very sweet Thank You card. We HIGHLY recommend Shawnee!!! We will be using her in the future!”
“I absolutely adored Penny, she took great care of my animals but also knew I had a stressful day returning to my kiddos that she got the house ready for me and honestly it was amazing. I will forever only hire her for anytime I leave for another holiday.”
“From day one Christian was professional and willing to work with our not so friendly boy. We got hourly updates with pictures on our animals. One of our animals got sick while we were away and Christian was great with extra cuddles and provided what was needed. We had no worries or hesitations about our kitties and dogs while we were away.”
About: I’ve been raised with a variety of pets since I was a kid. I’ve been pet sitting since college. I have experienced with younger dogs as well as senior dogs. I have a flexible summer schedule for pets that need more care. During the school year, I have a later start and am able to let pets out during lunch. I have experience working with crate trained dogs as well as high energy dogs. I have also worked with pets with special diets or medication needs.
About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.
“Christina was amazing with our senior dogs. One has epilepsy and the other one other health issues, so they are not that simple to take care of. She did a great job taking care of them. They were very happy with her and not stressed out. She kept me informed the entire time, was responsive, sent photos, and was able to give them their meds and vitamins. She stayed over and was respectful of our home. We recommend her and will be hiring her in the future.”
“I feel so lucky to have found Lauren! She’s super friendly, the dogs LOVED her, and she left the house immaculate! A total win! She also communicated throughout the stay and sent picture updates. She made me feel at ease. I’ll be reaching out to her every time to care for the pups!”
“Miranda was absolutely amazing! Took really good care of my fur babies and the house especially at a last minute need. Very accommodating and flexible with her scheduling if able. I know my babies are looking forward to seeing her again. If you are in need of pet sitting, she is phenomenal and I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family members, and friends since I was 10 years old. Through this experience, I have developed strong animal care skills and a genuine passion for working with pets. I am comfortable around animals of all temperaments and enjoy building positive relationships with them. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, dependable care for your pets throughout the week, giving them the attention and affection they need while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and do not currently have any pets of my own, allowing me to provide focused attention to your pet. I am also happy to crate your dog if that is your preference.
“Destiny is exceptional! Reliable, professional and so caring. We love knowing that she is watching Bo while we’re gone and eagerly will be booking again and again. She is without a doubt our first choice to take care of our dog.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Belle was great to work with! Great communication and I felt much better getting to leave my senior dog in the comforts of his own home. We came home to very content dogs that had been well taken care of. Thanks Belle!”
About: I am a 47 year old male, whose Air Force duties were crew chief for F-22 fighter jets, serving overseas during the Iraq war. I have top secret security clearance and many missions under my belt. My passion now is animals. I am currently an SPCA foster parent to both dogs and cats. No job is too big or too small when caring for your pet. Whether they have medical needs or just need a happy face to lick, I can take care of it all. I am available day or night with total peace of mind everything will be cared for. I live in South Lakeland. I am retired and available for boarding, client home boarding and care, pet walks and visits. I'm available any day and time. I will answer all requests as soon as I see them. I live alone in a small and safe community, with little traffic, which makes it safe for walks. I have a unfenced yard but I take great care allowing the dog to have freedom in the yard while being on a leash. I have access to a fenced in dog "play" area in my community. My home is non-smoking, cozy, and quiet. I keep the home air cool to provide comfort for the animals. I maintain constant contact with your loved one to know they are safe and happy. I will provide daily texts and photos of the pet, to the owner, to show they are safe and happy.

South Lake Morton pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was my first time using Rover, and I was so nervous that my six cats would be too much to handle, especially with one being difficult to medicate. Lauren made the experience wonderful and completely put my anxiety at ease! She is kind, caring, and most importantly, incredibly patient. If you are looking for a pet sitter you can totally trust and rely on, Lauren has got you! Thank you, Lauren we look forward to booking you again, and our kitties loved their time with you!
Penny did a great job. She house sat for our dog and cat and did a wonderful job. She sent us photos and kept us updated on how they were all doing. She was very respectful of our home and our pets, and we have already booked her for another much longer visit in a month.
Megan was wonderful! We had a great first meeting, communication was great she was fast at responding and friendly. She sent us pictures of our pets while she was watching them and they were all happy when we got back home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and I’d use her again.

Shelisha did a great job with our two large dogs. She was consistent with their schedule of food, treats, medication and play each day. Shelisha also communicated with us each day and sent photos and videos of our pets. On top of all that she also checked our mail and watered our plants. We highly recommend Shelisha as a dog sitter, as well as house sitter. We are grateful to have found her.

Sia sat for our young dog at our home for a long vacation and she was wonderful! Teddy loved her, she provided regular updates and photos . She worked with him on playing fetch and taught him “Stop” while on walks. It was comforting to know our dog and our home were well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend anyone else to use Sia if she is available.
Jyana was a quick response and great at keeping us up to date on the pets’ day. She kept to their routine perfectly and gave them lots of cuddles. Even my very shy cat felt comfortable enough to make an appearance to her towards the end of the day. She was polite and a wonderful house guest as well; I highly recommend and would ask her help in the future
