About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m that person who stops to say hi to every dog I pass, no matter where I am. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, long neighborhood walks, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every furry friend like family. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness. You can count on me for updates, snuggles, and lots of tail wags! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to drop by for walks, playtime, or whatever your pup needs! As a drop-in pet walker, your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and always follow your pet’s routine closely. Whether it's feeding, potty breaks, or playtime, I show up on time and give your pet the same care and attention I give my own. You can trust me to keep you updated with check-ins and photos so you always know your furry friend is in good hands.
“I feel so lucky to have found David to look after my very socially needy cat. I usually worry about her when I’m out of town, but knowing that he was checking in on her made me completely at ease. He is everything that you would want and more when it comes to a pet sitter!”
“Rover Review She was absolutely wonderful with Enzo! She was very attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout her visits—it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely book with her again!”
“The cats had a GREAT time with Lu. We asked her to come watch our cats while we were out of town and our elder cat had such a great relaxing time that he actually gained a few pounds and is looking like he enjoyed the time greatly. Got great pictures and updates for every visit and would definitely hire again!”
About: I'm super passionate about animals and pet care, and I am grateful for every opportunity to hang out with them. I love to spend time getting to know pets, and I am great at adapting to their quirks and needs! As a recent graduate, I'm looking to expand my pet care experience and help people. I'm available all week, and devote most of my time to animals - with my experience including hundreds of hours of pet sitting and dog walking, my role as a wildlife care assistant at PAWS, and experience as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic! When caring for pets at my house or a client's, I never leave for long periods, and I'm great at staying on top of medication requirements. I am also able to provide pick-up and drop-off services to make things easier for owners.
“We had to add an extra drop-in to the booking because our flight home from vacation got canceled. Michael was super flexible with adding an extra day. Highly recommend!”
About: As the owner of a 90 pound pit bull, I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I have experience with big dogs, strong personalities, and pups who need a little extra patience, understanding, and consistency. I don’t believe every dog needs the same approach. Some dogs need an adventure, some need a slower sniff-filled walk, and some just need someone calm and consistent who will take the time to earn their trust. I’m an active person who genuinely enjoys being outside, so walks aren’t just a task - they’re something I truly look forward to. My goal is to give your dog the care, attention, and confidence they need while giving you one less thing to worry about. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care and give each dog the attention they deserve. I’m intentional about creating a consistent schedule and providing reliable care, whether your dog needs a midday walk, regular exercise, or a little extra companionship while you’re away. I treat every dog and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My dog Gary is basically my child, so I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big deal. I know how important it is to create a calm, safe environment and take the time to understand each dog’s personality, boundaries, and routines. I follow your instructions closely, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, respecting your dog’s comfort level, managing interactions with other dogs, or providing a familiar routine while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Jovian took fabulous care of my 2 Newfoundland girls which gave me an ease of mind. She is such a nice person and super easy to communicate with. She made sure sharing several photos of the newf girls and a detailed report so that I could see them while I was away and know about their visit. Much appreciated and highly recommended! Thank you! 🐾❤️🐾”
“Sarah took care of our 3 dogs (2 large and one small) while we were away for a week. She sent regular pictures, communicated well and went above and beyond while taking care of our pups. We hope to use her again:)”
About: What Sets Me Apart I provide more than just pet sitting—I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I also trained my own dog, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. I treat every pet in my care like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently in school. And would love to take care of your pets in the afternoons. I can check in on them and give them afternoon walks, treats and pee breaks, whatever you and your pet may need! How I Care for Pets in Your Home I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, potty breaks, and any special needs. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep their space clean and tidy and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kathryn was great! Easy communication, thoughtful check in notes, and she was flexible with our last minute booking request and schedule changes. Came home to a happy cat, we will definitely book Kathryn again!”
“Jeanne is reliable and communicates well. I know my two, shy kitties are being well cared for while I'm away, and that enables me to enjoy my trip. Jeanne is at the top of my list!”
“Arielle was amazing with my fearful rescue puppy! She was patient, punctual, and sent lots of photos and updates. So nice especially as my puppy is still adjusting to her new life out of the shelter! Much appreciated!!”
“Talia took very good care of our new kittens over the weekend. I received several photos during each drop-in visit. The care that Talia took with the narrative for each visit was much appreciated! My husband and I will definitely book with Talia again.”
“Another wonderful experience with Rose coming to check in on our fluffy little old lady Pixel. Rose takes such great care of Pixel, and always keeps us up to date with fantastic communication. She also went above and beyond this time, helping us with a a surprise delivery of work equipment we didn’t know was coming while we were out of town! Can’t recommend Rose highly enough, and neither can Pixel. 😁”
“Jenica is great! Very responsive and communicative. We got lots of wonderful pictures of our cats everyday we were away. Food, water dispenser, and litter boxes were all taken care of, and the cats were clearly loved on. Had no worries or concerns at all. Thank you, Jenica!”
“Kaeleigh was super communicative and took tons of pictures of my boy! I felt like he was in really good hands and I really appreciated knowing everything that was going on with him and my home while I was away. Thank you!”

Jeanne was fantastic, starting all the way back at booking. She advertised availability for Labor Day weekend, and once we sent an inquiry, she was flexible and available for a meet and greet. Jeanne took excellent care of Potluck and took special care to note the routine our baby has. She was super communicative and even made sure to give Potluck a few extra special surprises over the weekend. Highly recommend Jeanne and would book again!
Peng has been just amazing! This was our second time with her looking after our shy babies. They couldn’t wait for her to visit them and play and pose. One of the very shy ones even allowed Peng to pet her, which is usually hard. Peng is very prompt in her interactions, shares meaningful daily updates with photos and very punctual. She also kept an eye out for any accidents and ensures they were taken care off. Cannot thanks enough to Peng to keep us assured of our babies well being! Highly recommended!
She was absolutely wonderful with Hagrid! He’s only 8 weeks old, and she was so sweet, patient, and attentive with him. She sent me lots of photos and videos throughout the visit, which made me feel so comfortable while I was at work. She played with him, fed him, took him out for potty breaks, and even noticed when he was about to have an accident and quickly took him to his potty area. 🥰 Hagrid seemed so happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Phuong is very attentive and goes out of her way to ensure that my kitties are well taken care of. She is my go-to pet sitter and thus far I have been fortunate to have her pet sit each time I go out of town. She has mastered hide-and-seek with my skittish kitty, ensuring that she is found so she can eat her food before her brother eats both their meals. I always feel good about leaving town when Phuong is watching my fur babies.
Myranda was very responsive and responsible while caring for our two cats. She sent great photos and really went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable as well as cared for. I will certainly reach out to her again when we need help with our fur babies!
Catie did an amazing job taking care of my cat Kitty while I was out of town for a week. She was reliable, attentive, and very caring throughout the entire week. She followed instructions closely, never missed a scheduled visit, and always provided detailed updates and pictures. She also went above and beyond to ensure Kitty stayed in a comfortable environment. It was reassuring knowing Kitty was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Catie to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy pet sitter!
We were so impressed with Kate! From the very first meet-and-greet, she was incredibly attentive and even took notes about our cats’ routines, needs, and little details, which immediately made me feel more comfortable. If you’re someone who gets anxious about leaving your fur babies, she is such a great choice. She was thoughtful, thorough, and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again and would highly recommend her!

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 Lake Forest Park 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 Lake Forest Park. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
