About: I’ve dog sat for friends and fellow cast members for over 20 years! I’m truly devoted and prefer to keep your dog in its familiar surroundings. I’m a full-time Disney cast member that have scheduled Fridays and Saturdays off and would be more than happy to watch your baby over the weekend. I prefer to have the dog in its familiar environment and to have a comprehensive plan feeding, sleeping, emergency veterinarian etc. Comfort is the key word!
“Aubrey did a fantastic job taking care of my cat Willow. She was dependable, kept in touch daily with notes and pictures. She provided more that she was asked to do. I will tell all my friends with pets to ask for Aubrey! And I will ask her for all of my future pet sitting needs. Thanks again Aubrey for caring so much for my Willow. Molly T. Winter Haven, FL”
“Shawnee was awesome! It’s comforting to know your furbaby is in capable hands, and I never doubted her abilities. Daily pictures provided a great connection with Precious while I was away and assured me I made the right choice in trusting Shawnee with my most treasured little companion.”
“Once again Bradley went above and beyond. We had already booked him for a fun getaway but we had a family emergency instead. He noticed Knox was not eating and was not his normal self. I assumed it was because Knox was anxious because we were running around like crazy trying to pack and get out the door. When I got home I monitored Knox because Bradley was so specific on Knox’s demeanor. He refused all treats which is 100% not him. He even brought different treats over for him to try. I took Knox to the vet today and he has elevated liver enzymes. I honestly don’t know if I would have taken him if Bradley had not given us the proper updates. Knox is now resting and on meds. Bradley, you are amazing and we are so grateful for you!!!!”
About: I have loved pets since I was very young. I used to take care of my brother's dog and my friends. Whenever I could, I would visit my friends to be with their dogs. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of patience with hyper pets! I am currently a teacher, so I can work Mon-Fri after 4 and on the weekends any time. During the summer and holidays, I am more flexible. I make sure that if the dog or cat needs to go out to potty, I take them out. I also walk the dogs/cats and play with them as I keep them company. I try to make sure they are safe and happy! I am not allergic to any pets.
“Elizabeth did a fantastic job at taking care of my two kitties. She cleaned up after them well and made sure to check in with me at every visit. It made being away from them a lot easier. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
About: I love taking out pets out to the park to have fun and play, and as long as the owner permits it, I’ll bring my own dog along so they can play together. Additionally, I make sure the dog does their needs at least 3 times a day. One time in the morning after they eat breakfast, one in the middle of the day after they eat lunch, and one time in the night before they go to sleep. I work full time and I have 2 days off. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available all day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. I am sometimes available on Fridays, so you’d have to advise me 3 days before to see if I can accept your booking. I leave them unleashed in the home and I don’t put them in cages because I believe they should roam free in the house. I play with them for a long time and at night I do it so they can get tired and sleep soundly. I wash their bowls after they eat and make sure their water is clean. I don’t cook for them for safety reasons, so you would have to bring their own food.
“Bonnie looked after my cat while I was in vacation. She did an incredible job and my cat really enjoyed her company. Bonnie is easy to communicate with and the fact that she has cats of her own made me feel comfortable that she knew how to approach and care for my cat. She updated me throughout the stay on how my kitty was doing which reassured me I had the best sitter possible. Highly recommend!!”
“Relinda did an excellent job watching Harry Pawtter over multiple days! Trustworthy and Responsible are two words that come to mind as Ralinda watched our cat. This was a very unexpected trip due to the death of my Uncle. Ralinda made this trip much easier by taking care of Harry in such a first class way. From pre-booking communications, to an abundance of pictures, and appropriate questions, Ralinda took the concerns about Harry away, and let me concentrate on family. I truly appreciated her professionalism, and would not hesitate to book her again! Thanks so much!”
“Both times Samantha has taken care of our pets, it has been a rather last minute booking. She asks good questions and we get photos from each visit. All has gone smoothly and I appreciate that she was willing to come for an introductory meeting before the first booking. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Emely was amazing. Constant contact, and sweet photos of our fur babies. She cared for them as we would have, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how well she took care of them and spent the time with them. I will definitely use Emely for future pet sitting!”

I've had 2 German shepards that I have trained myself along with countless other doggies I've watched and taken care of I’m reliable, detail oriented, and flexible with scheduling.

My goal is to care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Outstanding conscientious communication . Photos and updates are great. Lindsey’s commitment to the wellbeing of our precious pets is commendable. I’m so glad she made the time for their tender, loving care!”
About: I've owned and cared for animals my entire life. From guinea pigs and dogs and cats to horses. Your pet's care, comfort and safety will always be my first priority.

“Melinda was fantastic with our cats and went above and beyond! Highly recommend her watching over your cats, and I'll be using her services again for our next trip!”
About: I’ve fostered 3 dogs and helped them be rehabilitated, I believe in what’s best for pets and know they are just little babies with fur. I am mainly free all week, if I’m not shopping of course, but I spend all my time with my dog and love spoiling him. I only have Sundays and Wednesdays busy because I am a Christian and attend all the services when I can. My home is one story with a fenced backyard, it is cleaned daily and deep cleaned once a week, the backyard has a tall white fence with a ton of room for dogs to play and potty.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winter Haven
What a great experience with Rover !! 😍 Aubrey is the Best ! Friendly professional and very accountable ❤️She came to our home for a meet and greet and I immediately knew our “Jack” was in good and loving care in our absence! Communication could not have been better ! Five stars !! Will definitely use her and Rover again !
I would like to say that Christy M. did a great job watching our three Cockatoos and two rabbits. She was able to assist us on short notice as our other pet sitter was unable to watch our pets due to illness. She was great with our pets and was very attentive to their needs. She would message me when she arrived and was always on time and she would message me pictures of our pets as well. She even took out the trash and left our home neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her in the future.
We had a great experience with our sitter! She took wonderful care of our dog, Remi, and kept us updated throughout each visit. It was clear she made an effort to make him feel comfortable and gave him attention, not just the basics. Remi can be a bit particular, but he seemed happy and relaxed after each visit, which says a lot! The communication was great, and I appreciated how easy everything felt, on time, professional, and caring. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and trustworthy to care for their pup. Thanks again for taking such good care of Remi!

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 Winter Haven 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.

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.
