About: 🐶Before booking, please READ this:🐶 "I do not accept aggressive or jealous dogs." My policy is to maintain the most pleasant and responsible environment possible. I work with a lot of love and responsibility ❤️ Since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved animals and have always had dogs and other pets in my life. I have many years of experience working as a dog sitter, and I always treat each dog as part of my own family 💛 I have: • A large, clean space with an escape-proof yard • Dogs always supervised 24/7 + cameras • Games, fun, and treats (if parents allow) • Daily reports to owners with photos/videos. *Please take this into account: 1. I love dogs to play and have fun, but just like children, they can sometimes get rough and get minor scratches or bumps. If you'd prefer your dog not to have contact with others, just let me know, and I'll keep him separate for his safety and comfort. 2. I am not responsible for any illness or incidents with external allergies. Unfortunately, dogs can get sick and no one is to blame., *you can check the Rover guarantee published on their website* 3. Please keep your dog treated for fleas and ticks. 🟡 Dogs over 40 lbs: +$10” and over 60 lbs +$20” I hope you feel comfortable with me for your beloved furry pal’s stay.🐾🙌🤗 I have a big, fully fenced yard with plenty of toys where your dog can run, play, and have fun safely. Your dog will always be close to me and my family, receiving all the love and attention they deserve. I also have two very sweet daughters, ages 11 and 7, who adore dogs just as much as I do. They’ll be delighted to play with and give lots of cuddles to your furry pal. 🐾 I work from home, so I’m available all day to care for your pup. I also have security cameras to keep an eye on them when I step out of the room for a moment, and I have my own car in case of any emergency. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority.
About: I've been taking care of dogs for friends, family, and myself since I was 13. I've had rescues, older dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and puppies. I've done basic obedience training and potty training with small and medium sized dogs and I've also taken care of older foster dogs I'm currently in between jobs so I have plenty of free time to watch and play with your furry family. I'm home full time 7 days a week and I live with my two retired parents I have a fenced backyard so they can run and play to their hearts content without any outside worries. I don't currently have animals of my own. I have no problem with crating a dog if requested, but I prefer to let them roam and be in the same room as them to watch over and play with.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, giving me a natural understanding of their needs. I am the biggest dog lover ever, I would do anything for them. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or offering gentle support to older dogs, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My work is fully remote, so I have more than enough time to properly care for and be with your furry friends. The only times I wouldn’t be available are the times I travel, but other than that, when I am home, I can dedicate most of my time to caring for your pets. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I currently have no permanent pets due to my travel schedule, which is why I’m so excited to care for pets while I’m home. My beautiful, spacious resort-style apartment is incredibly pet-friendly, with plenty of outdoor space to play and explore. With stunning views of a waterfront marina walkway, pets can enjoy peaceful walks and fresh air. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for!

About: I have had a multitude of pets my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages as well as cats! I work on weekdays at Zoo Miami 9-5 but am otherwise available and eager to care for your pets at the times that you prefer. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and understand the trust you are putting into my hands when you hire me. I am overly cautious when it comes to walking my dog, Cara, and when going in and out of my house to keep my cats from escaping. I would treat your home and pets as if they are my own.
“Sarah was awesome for her drop-in visit and graciously shared her extensive knowledge with us—as new dog owners, we sincerely value her guidance and support with our dog.”
“Maria was very helpful and flexible with our anxious pup. She was able to manage our dogs initial discomfort and create solid rapport with Ella at her own time. We are so appreciative of her hard work and kindness! We highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my pets. I was happy with the service that Stella provided especially since i didn’t know what to expect from Rover. Stella communicated frequently and was punctual. I would definitely recommend her as someone who is responsible and delivers good service.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest
Jess is such a sweet bubbly person and really does enjoy caring for your pets. She made sure all three of my cats were all cared for. She cleaned up after them sent me lots of photos. She even got my super shy cat to come out of his shell which means the world to me. I’m really looking forward to booking her again when I’m out of town. I highly recommend you won’t be disappointed!!
Sara took the time to always make everything as clean and tidy as I want my pet to have. He’s not very sociable (18yo Cat) so she had to go hunting for him and took a picture every day. That made me feel like he was OK, eating and using the litter box. Thank you, Sara! Until next time (I’ve used Sara’s services before) as I definitely recommend her for taking good care of your beloved pets.
Amazing experience as always. Andrea is so patient and kind with our cats. We always know they are safe and loved when we’re away. She provides the very best care during each drop-in visit and her service never feels rushed. Also very detail oriented. Happy repeat customer. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
