“Linda popped in to let my pups out for a mid-day potty break. She arrived when she said she would, sent pics of the girls while they were out and locked up when she left. I’ll definitely reach out in the future when a need someone to check on the fur babies.”
About: I love animals as if they were my own, I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, and turtles. I have watched over cats, guineapigs, and dogs. I am pretty flexible, weekends are usually available, Im in college two nights a week but available most days, I am very flexible, but it is always worth an ask I live by a busy roundabout and dont have a fully fenced in backyard, I also have two cats who arent the biggest fans of dogs but wont attack or anything unless they feel threatened, when watching animals I keep an eye on them all the time when outside and make sure they do not get into trouble
“Jordan was very attentive and showed real compassion for our pets. They really shined with the challenge that our four legged ones can present. Would recommend them to anyone.”
“Kiley was great for out drop in visits with our cat while we were away. She was easy to communicate with, and made sure that she gave our cat lots of attention while she was there.”
About: I have been involved with various animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and exotics. Recently I worked as a vet tech at a veterinary office so I have experience administering medication to cats, dogs, and horses. Most recently I worked at a dog boarding facility where I watched, fed, walked, trained, gave medication, and bathed, up to 50 dogs at a time. I am happy to work with you around your schedule and habits with your pets. I strive to make life easier for pet owners while ensuring their pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs and your pet’s routine. The only times I may be unavailable are when I have occasional prior commitments. I will be respectful to your home and your pet's normal routine. I am happy to follow any guidelines you may have about your pet's food, sleeping conditions, toys, comfort, etc.
“We loved having Charlene care for miss Phoebe while I was out of town. She took her for walks and was very communicative through the whole thing. Thanks and I'll def book her again.”
“Baylee went above and beyond caring for our dog. She stayed in touch while we were away and ensured our home safe and well kept. Our dog enjoyed her company and was happy in her care while we were away.”
About: Hi! I’m Maya, a veterinary professional with experience in emergency medicine, outreach clinics, and general practice. I’ve worked hands-on with animals providing medical care and to pets and support for their owners. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including seniors, anxious pets, and those requiring medications or special attention. I can recognize early signs of illness, respond calmly in emergencies, and ensure your pet is safe and cared for. I also tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. Pet care fits very well into my schedule. I have a flexible routine and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including weekends. I’m reliable, punctual, and able to adjust my availability to meet client needs. I provide attentive, individualized care based on each pet’s needs and routine. In client homes, I maintain their normal schedule, ensure a clean and safe environment, and provide enrichment, exercise, and affection. With my veterinary background, I monitor for any health or behavioral changes and communicate updates clearly with owners.
About: I have grown up with and cared for dogs most of my life. I have a deep appreciation for the precious relationships we have with our furry friends. I'm your gal if your dog needs a walk while you're at work, a check in and some dinner, or some company while you're on vacation. I have a relatively flexible schedule most of the week, accepting early mornings before 8 am and Wednesdays until after 4pm. I am not able to board animals but I can house sit or swing by and check in routinely depending on need and preference. Depending on the needs of the client, I am able to walk, feed, play with, and even bathe animals provided they have the necessary equipment for use. Building a safe and respectful relationship with your animal is my topic priority.
About: Providing unconditional love & support for dogs & cats. My biggest passion is the love for animals. Earned a veterinary assistant certification at Northwest Career & Tech Academy. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies! 😀 I have open availability Monday-Sunday anytime during the week. I currently don't have any other job that could get in the way of my availability. I live on 5 acres of property with two German shepherds, two French bulldogs & 4 cats. There's a fenced area with 2 dog kennels I could separate from my animals if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid I love playing with dogs and getting to know them I also love taking dogs on walks I’m currently working full time I’m available on sundays and Mondays and Tuesday through Saturday after 7 pm sometime I do work early from 630 to 3 on saturdays I don’t have room to have pets in my home but I am more than willing to come and care for your pets at your house!
About: I have had a lot of different dogs and animals, and I love all kinds of animals. I was raised on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, cats, dogs and so on. I love dealing with animals and taking of them. I also love to make sure that all animals are well taken care of. I like to take my dog on walks instead of just putting him in the backyard when it's time to go outside, I also make sure that my dog gets all the exercise and play time he could ask for. I would do the same thing for your animals, I would make sure they are happy, and that they feel at home as most possible. I would treat them as if they were my own. I'm currently not work so I am available any time and any day of the week. I would prefer to have the weekends off but I can make exception. :) My two dogs at home I feed them every morning around 9 am and I let them out in the yard and play with them to let out there energy and from there I let them out every 2 hours. :)
About: I’ve worked in the animal care industry for 10 years now and I’ve grown up with dogs ! They are absolutely a passion of mine! I am also the owner and operator of Oh Shih Tzu mobile grooming! I currently work part time as I am a mom to a 4 year old daughter , so I am home a lot with my own pups! I love taking them to parks and trails and playdates with other dog friends ! I always treat any animal like they are my own! I love getting to know pups and their personalities as every pup is special in their own way !
About: Growing up I was raised on a farm so there’s not a day where I haven’t been surrounded by animals. Whether it be going to a 4-H show on the weekend or going on a run with the dogs, we always had an animal with us. I now have a golden retriever and she’s like another kid to me so I completely understand wanting to find someone you can trust with your animal while you’re gone. I can guarantee that I will treat your pet as my own, and give them the love, care, and attention they need until you come home. I am more than happy to keep you updated on anything you’d like to know and do anything to accommodate you and your pet😊 I’m currently only working 2 days a week and am very blessed to be home with my 2 year old, so I’m available throughout the day, and I am more than willing to spend it with all the pups! I’ve always loved being around animals, so it’s a nice way for me to escape the day to day responsibilities 😊 I have a 2 year old daughter so she would accompany your pup and I on any walks we take. As for my drop-in pups, I’m happy care for them in any way their owner needs, and I’m happy to bring Mazy (my golden) over for a play date if your dog needs one!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - John Sam Lake
We’re so grateful we found Linda for Chance’s first drop-in visit and meet-and-greet. Chance gets very nervous when greeting new people—his anxiety can kick in the moment he meets a stranger. But with the right approach, treats, and a calm energy, he can learn to relax and trust someone. Within the first minute of meeting Linda, we knew she was the right person for him. We were truly impressed by her knowledge, professionalism, and especially the calm, comforting energy she brought. It took only about 10 seconds for Chance to take treats from her hand (our jaws dropped!), and he trusted her almost instantly. That meant so much to us. After Linda left, Chance was so sad—he was literally crying. ❤️ That told us everything we needed to know about how comfortable and connected he felt with her. We’re so happy we met Linda, and we can’t wait for the day Chance gets to stay with her for boarding in the future. We feel very comfortable knowing he’ll be in such caring and kind hands. We highly recommend Linda!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in John Sam Lake is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $50 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 8,754 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across John Sam 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in John Sam Lake. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
