“Rebecca was great! I felt very at ease and confident that my dog was in good hands while I was away. The pictures at each drop in visit were awesome. I would definitely rebook with Rebecca!”
“Guadalupe did a great job taking care of our cats and dogs for drop-ins. She even cleaned up some unexpected messes. We got updates every time she dropped by with all bathroom and feeding breaks, and most importantly pictures! :)”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from the puppy years all the way up to saying goodbye. I have many years of experience in handing dogs and caring for them. Throughout the years I have dog sat neighbors and friends dogs. Leaving a family member behind is hard, for both you and your pet, I am here to eliminate that stress by making sure your pet is well taken care of while their human is away. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule and will be able to work out times that best work for you and your pet! I do have a fur baby of my own, but my parents love watching him😊 When it comes to the safety of your pet, I take this very seriously. I only give treats/toys that you approve. If there are special accommodations your pet may need, please let me know before meeting so I can come prepared! I am very open minded to discussing anything that I can do to better care for your pet!
“Ashley does an amazing job taking care of your fur babies . My Kiki was very well taken care of & loved. She provides excellent communication, which gives you peace of mind while you are away.”
“We had a really great experience with our Rover sitter! They took great care of our dog Opal and our cat Azula while we were away. Communication was easy, we appreciated the updates, and it was nice knowing both pets were in good hands. Opal and Azula seemed happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely book with them again!”
“Maureen is absolutely wonderful!! She is a 10!!! She was so caring with Kaia! She was always prompt with her visits, provided plenty of detail, pics of Kaia. We could tell that Kaia loved her too! She did a great job of watching Kaia while we were away which gave us peace of mind. Thank you Maureen for being so wonderful. I would highly recommend and would be happy to be a reference for you anytime!”
“Sam is an amazing pet sitter! One of my two cats is shy but started warming up to Sam in just one visit. Sam played with them, took time to learn their little quirks and gave them individual attention. I got pictures and updates after every visit. I will certainly hire her again and again. Thank you, Sam!”
“Our babies love Gage! Especially Finnegan. Gage took wonderful care of them while we were gone. He was attentive and friendly, making them comfortable around him. He was very respectful of our home. Sent plenty of pics for momma! We highly recommend him and will be using him again.”
“Barb is a dream come true! She’s my go to walker for Josephine and she’s come to walk her last minute when we had a family emergency. You can’t go wrong with Barbara!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs the professionally the past 2 years and I’ve lived with pets my whole life. Nothing makes me happier than animals living their best lives. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which makes my schedule very easy to fit in a weekend boarding and walks through the day! I live in an apartment that welcomes all pets. We have a fenced in backyard so they can safely go out whenever they want. I can’t wait to spoil them!
“aww! Thank you for stopping by at the last minute. It was a huge relief to know my babies were all taken care of! Austin is the cat’s name. He’s a goof ball and loves it while we get him a Lion Hair cut ? Hope we can have you by another time.”
“Ryan was fantastic! We were in a pinch and needed someone last minute and Ryan came through! Very reliable and gave great updates. And Daisy loved him! We will definitely use him again.”
“Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.”
“Chris has come to walk our dog several times now and we love working with him! Our dog loves him! He is easy to communicate with and always leaves a detailed summary. Thanks Chris!”
About: I've lived with cats for most of my life, and I have experience sitting for both senior dogs and puppies! I'm comfortable around dogs of any size and can handle most medications and messes, provided some instruction. In case it's relevant, I also have some limited experience with a variety of other animals, ranging from birds and mice to horses and rabbits! I'm currently waiting for the growing season to start up again (I'm an environmental technician), so I have plenty of free time during the week to spend helping out with pet care. I have a rather skittish kitty of my own, so I can't board any animals, but I'm happy to come visit others. So long as the information is provided, I'm happy to help feed, play with, clean up after, and help give medications to your furry family members as needed.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.
About: I have had dogs for over 15 years and attended trainings with them so I am versed on how to train and care for your pet. Currently I have no pets at home because I lost my best friend, Riley- a 14 year old Rottweiler, this past April so I would love to help you care for yours. All the snuggles are included! I am comfortable with puppies and senior dogs. I am a nurse by profession and I am very comfortable giving medications or injections. Thank you for sharing your furry friends with me and allowing me the privilege to care for them! 🐾 I am available for walks during the day near lake forest or evenings. I can watch your pet on weekends or during the week as needed. There are no pets in my home currently so your pet will get all the attention. We will do frequent walks and able to crate if needed. No dog is too big or small
About: I have had Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and fish for pets over the years. I currently have two small dogs of my own! I have experience with dog walking, overnights for dogs and cats, and am comfortable administering most medications. I love animals of all sizes and have no problem going for long walks, playing, and giving lots of pets. I am reliable and will always keep you up to date on how your pet is doing. I will always do my best to allow for schedule changes and would like to tailor things around your needs. I have a car and also have no problem taking public transportation. Please reach out if you are looking for an animal lover who will treat your animal with care, fun, and lots of love! I currently work full time from 7am-5pm M-F and am available anytime outside of those hours. I will do my best to be flexible around you! I have my own dogs, who are friendly to other animals. We don't have any restrictions, but this is pending the dog's behavior and comfort.

Sam was absolutely wonderful! We had her come by 3 times for drop in visits for breakfast & walks. The dogs seem to do great with her & I always felt comfortable + worry free when she was there! Sam was very communicative and patient, especially when we were having technical difficulties with the door. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone & everyone! Thank you Sam for taking such great care of our girls!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Gages Lake on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,541 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gages Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Gages Lake 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gages Lake. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 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.
