“This is the second summer in a row that we've booked Hannah to care for our cat while we were away on our extended vacation. We can't thank her enough for the wonderful care she gave Edison.

We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. We'll definitely book her again!”

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have watched, played, fed and walked friends or neighbors animals. I love and care for any size animal. My family used to own a 200+ English mastiff. I work Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so pet care is part of my routine before and after work. In the mornings, I feed, walk, and spend time with pets before leaving. After work, I take them for another walk, feed them if needed, play with them, and make sure they have plenty of attention. On weekends, I have more flexibility for feeding, longer walks or other activities. I have a fenced in yard and walking paths all around in my neighborhood. I also have an open field near by to play fetch.
About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up. I love going on walks and letting them take their time. Sometimes it’s like they walk me haha. I even taught my childhood dogs how to shake paws and to sit! I’m available most days! I work online so my schedule is determined by me. I’m available to take care of someone’s special baby! I’m a very active person so taking dogs out isn’t a problem. I have a cat that I regularly play with. I clean her space daily and change her bowls out. As for dogs, I take my mother’s dog on a walk about three times a day when I visit her.
About: Dog owners and their dogs love the care I provide because I go above and beyond to take care of their animals! I have always been a huge animal person and enjoy volunteering at the animal shelter. All of my animals at home have came from the animal shelters. I am a mom to Reign & Boots, our pitbull mixes! Both under the age of 2.. they keep my husband and I very very busy! I currently work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, perfect for day time drop-in’s or walks during lunch time! I am very communicative and will send pics as needed. I ensure safety by being completely focused on your pet. I will not be on my cell phone while walking your pets, making sure I lock up when I’m leaving and follow any in home instructions set by pet owners.
About: Throughout the 20 years of life my family has always had a dog and I wouldn’t change it any other way. I feel a connection towards animals and enjoy trying to provide a better life for them every day! I am comfortable around all dogs and i’m always willing to learn how to care for your animal. I currently work part-time and go to school part time for my sonography degree. I have lots of open time willing to help make your life easier! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a dog that my family and I walk at least 3 times a day. There is lots of room in the house to play. When it comes to a clients home, I’m very respectful of the rules and follow them accordingly.
About: We are animal lovers who would love to have your dog or cat stay overnight, for a weekend or a week! We currently have three dogs and 4 cats. We also have various foster dogs at any given time. Some are a little shy but they are all socialized and well behaved. We prefer to take the dogs on a walk when meeting but the interaction is entirely dependent on you and your dogs comfort level since you know your best friend best. We have a fenced in backyard perfect for running and playing. We try to walk the dogs several times a week. Although we have a crate, we don't use it unless your dog is not house broken or if your furry friend needs some alone time while eating. Come on by for a "bark, sniff and greet". We have plenty of doggie beds and cat perches so that your furry friend will feel right at home. We treat all dogs like family so you have no worries while on vacation! I work from home part time so I am available to take care of your furry friends. My personal dogs love other dogs and are very eager to greet new dogs. I have a fenced in yard that backs up to a creek. My neighbors on one side have chickens and on the other side the neighbor has a dog.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for over 30 years. Currently am a dog dad of a sweetheart 3 year old tri-color pitbull named Seven. We love to go on longboard skateboard rides on the lake bluff bike bath everyday. I currently work full time driving. Which allows me to get home multiple times a times per day and night to provide the best care Animals are very important to me and I always give my dog the best care and exercise possible. From multiple walks/skateboard rides per day, to always having water available and feeding at the proper time. I have even started using alcohol free wipes on dog paws before coming back inside
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and truly love them more than anything. As a kid, I volunteered at shelters and even donated my lemonade stand money to Save-A-Pet. That same passion has followed me into adulthood—I’ve worked with and supported the Laguna Beach Animal Sanctuary in California, and my family has been housing and walking dogs through Rover for several years. Because of that, I’ve learned how to adapt to all kinds of personalities—from shy rescues to high-energy pups—and make each one feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or endless belly rubs, I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel happy and at home. I also have a flexible schedule, so I can give your pets the consistent attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love staying active and spending time outdoors. I make it a point to get at least 10,000 steps a day, so walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures with pets easily become part of my rhythm. I also have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust to their needs without rushing or cutting corners. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure by keeping their normal feeding, walking, and play schedules consistent. I give lots of affection and attention, but I also pay close attention to any special instructions; whether that’s medications, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys. During overnight stays, I make sure the home stays tidy and that pets feel calm and cared for throughout the night.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gages Lake
Guadalupe is amazing! She was able to take a very last minute request for 4 days of care for our two dogs, and we could not be happier with how well cared for our dogs were while we were gone! I know this, because of how the dogs acted when we got back... they were excited, of course... but they calmed down, and were totally normal within an hour. That is proof positive... they were well cared for :)
Sara always does an amazing job with our cats and dog. They are happy and playful when we come home, and I can tell well cared-for. I appreciate Sara’s pictures that she sends throughout the visit and the detailed note she leaves about how things are going here when I’m gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gages Lake is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $43 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 5,138 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gages Lake. 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
