“Heather communicated well with us about our kitties! They were content when we got back and it was wonderful to know they were taken care of. Loved the photo updates! We look forward to more visits from Heather!”
About: I've experienced 2 years of working in a vet tech classroom, having the responsibility of taking care of cats, dogs, rabbits, goats, and cows. I've also done dog sitting in the past with owners prior to coming on the app. I've had the privilege of doing a work-based learning through the tech center working at Camp Critter Country taking care of dogs and cats. I currently own a dog that I take on walks regularly when I'm at home from college, groom him, and give him lots of belly rubs! My work schedule is pretty flexible and I'm free to love on your animals at any time! I will treat your pet like my own! I will regularly give them fresh food and water, I will make sure their area is always clean, and to give them daily love to prevent them from feeling lonely.
About: 10 years dog owner and lifetime cat owner. Very patient and caring with animals. Good at following instructions if special care is needed. Not scared of large dogs. I work part time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to pet sitting walks or what ever the job requires. I have two large dogs Rottweiler and Pitt Rottweiler mix and three cats. Dogs are cat friendly. Large yard and crate is available upon request if needed.
“This was the first time I used Barry, and I was extremely pleased with his kindness and the great job he took care of my dogs on such short notice. He even did a meet and great before I went out of town. I will be requesting him to watch my dogs again in the future.”
About: My initial professional experience with animals was working at an animal hospital where I took care of dogs and cats. This work formed my adult fondness for pet care. As a teenager I had several cats and dogs in my household, and I was responsible for taking care of all of them. More recently, I have engaged in dog sitting and have been a pet-parent for the past 15 years. I am very flexible as far as my weekly routine is concerned, so I can accommodate just about any pet sitting request on very short notice. I am available for pet-sitting in your home so that your dog and/or cat (I also take care of fish) remains as comfortable as possible in the environment they are most familiar with.
“Amie is the best! Perfect communication, responsive, always sends photos and is on schedule. Sometimes I wonder of my cats like her more than me!!! Amie is reliable and an overall kind and loving person and I’m grateful to have her to rely on.”
“Rachel was wonderful. She was available on very short notice, introduced herself, and most importantly, my cat was fully satisfied in all needs - especially attention. Rachel promptly returned the keys. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: One of my greatest joys is seeing happy dogs with big smiles and full body wags. I understand the stress and anxiety that comes with leaving your fur babies at home while being away and I would love to be there comfort while you are gone!! I have experience with all different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages! I have had my own dogs from the beginning fun puppy stages, to the softness of there senior years, and held them in my arms on their final journey. I am more than capable of giving liquid or oral medication, following special dietary needs, or noticing any pain/ discomfort your fur babies need. I also have experience with giving shots, ear and eye drops, wound care, and mobility help as I have had special needs dogs. I’m currently full time pet care, and house sitting. My schedule is readily available and completely open to assist with overnight stays, walking, hiking, playing, and cuddles! I will follow any specific directives given, as I know the stress and heartache of being separated from each other. I understand the importance of routine in an animals life. Currently I have two fur babies and know structure and consistency is key. As well as an abundance of love and quality time with each other. My dogs are truly my best friends and I look forward to loving yours as my own.
About: Each and every dog is treated like our own. We adore being able to share the love with our borrowed fur babies. Weather permitting the dogs are taken on two longer walks with as many potty breaks as needed between walks. Please let us know any special needs your friend may have and where your fur baby prefers to sleep. I work from home so the work breaks that caring for the dogs(whether it be feeding, walking or just playing) are welcome. Most always there is a dog laying at my feet while I work keeping me company. I have a multi level house with plenty of space for the dogs. They can find their place to sprawl out to nap, find a good place to roughhouse, or do a good session of rope pulling or ball toss I also have a very large fenced in deck to allow them to get some fresh air, play or sit by a fire at night with us
About: I have had animals my whole life. Dogs especially ranging from all sizes. I am sure to pay close attention to animals needs, ensure they are eating, using the restroom, and enjoying themselves! I am happy to enrich your animal, comfort, and love on them while you are away! If you have any further questions, please let me know! I am happy to help how I can! I am currently transitioning in my career and would love to stay busy by helping you and your pets! My schedule is flexible and am happy to help in anyway that best fits your situation. I am comfortable checkin in on animals throughout the day, staying with them overnight, or stopping by to feed. Any safety measures you have I will be sure to follow diligently. Caring for an animal at my home is case dependent due to the fact that I have a cat and dog at home myself.
“Shawn has taken care of our dog several times. Minuet loves her. Shawn is reliable and kind to Minuet. I recommend her to others in need of a dog sitter or house sitter with a dog.”
“Bethanie did a wonderful job taking care of our 4 kitties, fish and even watering my plants for me while I was out of the country for two weeks. She was very conscientious, caring, and sent photos promptly. I would be happy to book her again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 613 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lacota. 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.

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.
