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.
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.
“David is an outstanding dog sitter! He’s incredibly reliable, always communicates promptly, and takes amazing care of our dog, Sassy. He’s consistently on time and has saved us on multiple occasions when unexpected events kept us away longer than planned. David genuinely cares for Sassy, and we couldn’t ask for anyone better. Highly recommend!”
“I booked the wrong weekend, realized at the last minute and Jovi came through for me, even though it was quite inconvenient for her. She takes good care of my cats with special dietary needs. Thank you as always, Jovi!”
“Lu was an amazing catsitter. Would recommend her in a heartbeat! She immediately connected with our cat, took excellent care of her, paid close attention to instructions we left, was an excellent communicator. Plus sent us gorgeous photos every day!”
“Jenica is the best!!! She was so patient with my very anxious and reactive pup, brought her extra treats to win her over, and was so communicative through it all. I already rebooked her and my dog was already calmer on her second visit. So glad I found her!!!”
“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.”
About: Every dog is different with energy and awareness when I take my friend’s dog for a walk, she would need time to sniff around and enjoy the sunshine Right now, I am currently studying in Seattle for helping the family business so I am available from 10 AM to 4pm Monday through Friday I usually would go over to my friends house, play with their dog and feed them and give water and keep an eye on them if they need to go to the restroom or not
“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!!”
“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!”
“I am glad she finally let you pet her! A little goodbye nudge. Thank you so much! You have kept me worry -free about my sweet babies! I appreciate you so much and I know they do. I will happily use you again in the future!”
About: I have spent my entire life around dogs and understand that every pet has a unique personality. My approach is rooted in patience and adaptability; I am just as happy going on a long walk as I am providing a quiet space for a dog who prefers to cuddle. I believe in following a pet’s lead to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. While I have a lifelong history with pets, my most rewarding experience was with my dog Maurice, whom I cared for from his middle age through his senior years. We were his third home after he was rescued, and he had many wonderful quirks that we learned to work through together. Navigating life with him taught me how to be attentive to a dog's subtle cues and how to provide a stable, loving environment for pets of all backgrounds. Unfortunately, we lost Maurice in June of 2025. While I miss him very much, I am not ready to have a pet of my own again just yet, but I have plenty of time and affection to dedicate to your dog. Whether they have a specific routine or just need a reliable friend, I am committed to treating your pet with the same care and devotion I gave my own. I work from home full time, which means my schedule is very flexible and I am typically around all day to provide companionship and regular potty breaks. Your pet will rarely be alone, as I am only out for the occasional quick errand or appointment. I believe in clear communication, so I will always touch base in advance if I need to step out for a short time to ensure you are completely comfortable with the plan. My goal is to integrate your dog’s existing routine into my day so they feel right at home. My priority is creating a secure and stress-free space. My home offers a very quiet, calm environment with no children or other pets, making it an ideal "home away from home" for dogs who prefer a more relaxed setting. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe supervised play, and our neighborhood has wonderful, quiet streets that are perfect for daily walks. I am naturally attentive to a dog's needs and comfort levels, ensuring they feel settled and consistent in their routine.
“Adonna is simply awesome. She’s taken such amazing care of our boy Charlie, and acted swiftly and calmly when he was showing signs of not feeling well. We’re truly so appreciative!! Thank you Adonna!!”
“Teagan has been wonderful taking care of our dog Daisy! We have used his services for regular drop in visits and he has always been prompt and accommodating to Daisy’s needs. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“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. 😁”
About: Mom at heart here - to humans and fur babies. I offer the kind of love that all living creatures deserve, especially ones that don't communicate with words. Being a mom to a special needs child has given me the patience and Spidey senses to anticipate needs, and pick up on cues from our non-verbal friends. I promise to provide a fun and safe environment for your dog or cat friend - whether that be in my home or any place when in my care. I don't have any pets of my own. But I have big house that I enjoy filling with the sounds and bountiful energy of someone else's lovely pets. I've had cats most of my adult life, and grew up always having a dog. My last dog was an energetic and clumsy Dalmatian named Kramer (yep, like in Seinfeld). He always knew how to make an entrance :) I work full-time from home (M-F). So flexibility is the name of the game. I have online work meetings and calls, here and there. But your pet will have a full view of me when I care for them in my home. My desk is set up in an large, open concept space, with lots of hardwood floors and a cushy couch for them to watch me work. I even keep toys near my desk for that impromptu 'catch' or 'fetch' session. And in between meetings, I will give them play time, potty breaks and walks. My back yard is large, but not fenced. If your dog prefers to run carefree and has difficulty with recall, I promise to keep them on a leash when exploring the surrounding flora and fauna of my yard. For neighborhood walks, we offer lotsa bushes to smell and grass to chew on. And for additional exercise, there are nearby dog parks to make new friends and burn off some energy. I work from home and my schedule is flexible to take breaks from my keyboard for play time, potty breaks and mostly to keep your pup company. While my backyard is not fenced, I maintain my doors locked at all times and will always ensure your dog is on a leash before we leave the house.
“Sarah always does a great job taking care of our cat, Binx. She goes above and beyond with making sure he is being taken care of, and leaves our home better than we left it! We are fortunate to have her!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lake Forest Park is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest Park
Nancy was wonderful! Our shy boy didn’t quite come out to play, but she was so patient and caring with him. She arrived consistently at the scheduled times each day, and we really appreciated the reliable updates and care. She was also so sweet and even left Buckley a little toy, a thoughtful touch that meant so much! We would absolutely recommend Nancy and would love to have her care for Buckley again! 🐾💕
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!
Elaina was wonderful. She cared for my kitty. She went out of her way to come and befriend my cat, Meghan. She made sure I knew how Meghan was doing. I was able to enjoy my art workshop and not worry about my kitty. I definitely would use her to cat sit my baby.
Giselle was wonderful with Bruno! He trusted her immediately. She was very attentive, caring, and made sure he was well taken care of while I was away. She kept me updated and gave me peace of mind knowing Bruno was in good hands. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him, and I would definitely recommend Giselle to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter. I’d happily book with her again! 😊🐾
We had a fantastic experience, highly recommend this pet sitter! Instructions were followed carefully and they took excellent care of our cat. Everything went smoothly, and we had peace of mind knowing our cat was well cared for. We'll definitely be booking with them again in the future. Thank you!
I just recently adopted Latte, so was unsure how she'd react to me being gone and to a pet sitter. Kali was great with her and they became fast friends with Kali giving her lots of pets. I received updates and cute pictures, making me feel relaxed knowing Latte was in good hands.

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.

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.
