About: For the past 12 years, I have provided loving, reliable pet care for dogs and cats belonging to friends, neighbors, and tourists visiting the area. I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog lots of love, attention, and playtime. I welcome small dogs into my home seven days a week and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment. I have a securely fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and explore. My home is safe and dog-friendly, and my two friendly dogs enjoy welcoming new canine companions.
“Stephanie took such great care of our dogs while we were away! She was attentive to all of their special needs and gave them lots of love. We so appreciated the thorough and detailed regular updates!”
“Brandie was amazing for us and our pup! We were gone for 8 days, our longest trip without our dog and Brandie did such a good job with sending us pictures and updates. She also took care of my large amount of house plants, which was a huge bonus. Highly recommend booking with Brandie!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments my entire life. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs: a 9 year old Golden Retriever (turning 10 in December!) and a high-energy 2 year old American Foxhound. Managing these two gives me daily, hands-on experience balancing the needs of a lively young hound with the gentle care required by a senior dog. Beyond my own pets, I have regular experience caring for friends' and family members' animals. I frequently pet-sit for an older American Bulldog (around 10 years old) and three cats (one boy and two girls), which has made me very comfortable administering specialized senior care and managing multi-species households. I’ve also cared for my aunt's Yorkies, giving me confidence with smaller breeds as well. Whether your pet needs a patient companion for their golden years, a high-energy playmate, or attentive care while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own! I work at a restaurant and my schedule is flexible. I mostly work evenings so i can do day time visits + after work if need be. In My Home: I provide a safe, secure environment tailored to your pet's needs. For dogs under 50 lbs, I have a comfortable crate available if they are crate-trained or need a quiet space to settle. I ensure harmful items are safely out of reach and that high-energy pets get plenty of supervised playtime and exercise. In Your Home: I strictly follow your routines for feeding, medication, and walking. I keep living spaces secure, ensure doors and gates are carefully monitored, and provide plenty of attention and companionship so your pets feel safe while you're away.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life! Cane corsos, pit bulls and currently have a golden retriever. I am not afraid to get dirty and loving with your furball!❤️ I work part time, which leaves me a lot of time to take care of animals especially my own golden retriever. It’s something I already do! I have a beautiful and polite golden retriever who loves to play but is also very gentle, I also will constantly supervise and make sure they have all they need.
“Glenn looked after Oliver, our 13-year-old Jack Russell in our home while we were away on a two week vacation. Glenn met with us and asked plenty of questions before we left, so he could understand Ollie's routine and behaviors. He sent photos of Ollie every day while we were away so that we could relax and enjoy our journey. Our home, and our fur baby were well taken care of, and we highly recommend Glenn to anybody looking for a professional pet and home sitter who really cares about his clients and their pets!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for the past 5 years now. At some points caring for 4 cats or 3 cats and 1 dog at a time. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs that need extra care and medical attention. I am empathic and nurturing and love to care for animals. I have had up to 3 cats of my own and I can provide references from previous experiences providing pet care. I am currently open and flexible, so I will have plenty of time and undivided attention to dedicate to your pets and make sure they are well cared for. I offer a meet and greet, I follow instructions closely and maintain communication throughout, I maintain routine and provide comfort, I exercise and play and overall respect the home, rules, and preferences provided.
About: I have always loved all types of animals. My family has bred, trained, and shown multiple different breeds of dogs. I’m very good and training all different breeds and well known to have the best behaved dogs. If I had it my way I would have a ranch full of all different types of animals. I’m very gentle and normally can read dogs and go at their pace for training or care. I love to walk dogs and play with cats. I no longer have a pet of my own, but wanna fill that void by watching over you alls. I’m pretty open and love to just spend time with animals. I have flexible schedule and can work remotely right now. I can focus on each animals individual timely needs. I’m a pretty ocd individual and like to keep things tidy and clean. I start the day off with walk then feeding animals. Play throughout the day. Afternoon walks and then dinner and more play time. Depending on animal they normally can sleep with me as well.

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.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lake Harbor walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Harbor maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake Harbor choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
