“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Ruth did an amazing job caring for my dogs. They can be difficult with one being just a puppy and the other being older and very nervous but she did an excellent job making sure they were taken care of.”
“Kate was amazing with our boy! She was communicative and responsive. She was proactive in meeting him and understanding how to get into our apt, which we really appreciated. Kate was also kind enough to give our boy extra love with playtime and treats. Will definitely be reaching out for future services! Thank you so much Kate!”
“Alison took great care of my two cats over July 4th weekend. This was our first time booking with her, and everything went smoothly. Will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“We have received an outstanding and amazing help from Yaritza, our doggy loves her and she was so professional throughout the process of our first time hiring sitter services for my pup. Thanks so much for everything Yaritza!”
“Our dogs love Ashley! And we love how reliable and great she is with them and how easy it has been for her drop in visits. We will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“We had Kylee come check on our dogs while we were at the beach for 6 days. We were nervous to leave our dogs since we had never left them with a sitter for more than 1 day. Kylee was INCREDIBLE and kept us updated on how they were doing and made sure they felt loved while we were on vacation! We’ll definitely be using her again! ❤️”
About: I am experienced, responsible, friendly and loved by pets of all ages. Get reliable pet sitting from someone who’s raised a Westie and wrangled puppies. I live and work locally in Lakeland. Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.
“Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!”
About: I love dogs and want to give your special pup(s) a walk to get the exercise they need or any other care. My two dogs are a Chihuahua named Tex and a Chi mix named Ozy. Both are rescue dogs who I have had and cared for now for years. It is important to me to treat all creatures with respect and so I have worked on providing great care to these little friends on mine. As an owner of two smol doggos, I am always glad when they get their energy out in healthy positive ways such as walks. Single walks are great, but I would love to set up something weekly, just reach out and let me know! Thanks! I have an open and flexible schedule and would love to discuss your pets needs! We can have a meet and greet and determine a care plan together! I take great care of my dogs and make sure they get all the attention they need! I have also taken care of pets both drop in visits and having them stay with me and my boys!
“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”
“Excellent!!! Mikayla did such an amazing job caring for our big boy Luke. She was on time and extremely professional. She sent us a detailed Rover card and great pictures. We’ll book her again next week and beyond!”
About: I love dogs, I think they are the best animal ever! I have two dogs of my own who are old and need a little extra help so I have some experience in that! I only have 5 classes for college so I am super flexible! I also have no extra curricular time so I am always free to come when needed! I will care for a dog/cat with love! If your dog/cat needs a little extra help, I am your girl. I think pets are the most amazing things!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages for over 12 years. I love getting to spend time with animals and get to know their personality. I’ve worked with animals from a few months old into their senior years. I am a full- time teacher but have most evenings free. Weekends, evenings and breaks away from school will be amazing time for taking care of pets. I have cared for many peoples pets in their own home. I have done over nights or coming two to three times a day, depending on the customers comfort.
“Bridget was on time and communicated well for this visit. She had to forego Brady’s walk due to their being a loose dog in the neighborhood, but Brady seemed happy when I came home 😊”
Westgate pet parents share their Rover experiences
I recently had Sia cat sit for my cat, Mylo, and she was fantastic. Sia came to my home each evening, feeding him, letting him enjoy some time on the back porch, and giving him company. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. She sent quick updates and was punctual every day, which gave me great peace of mind. When I returned, Mylo was relaxed and happy clear signs he’d been well cared for. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but Sia absolutely did. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and caring cat sitter.
Katherine is our favorite pet sitter we’ve ever had! As someone who feels anxiety leaving their pets in someone’s care, I can finally enjoy my time away from home because she takes such great care of them. She takes lots of fun pictures of their time together and my dogs love when she comes to play. I cannot recommend her enough!
