“We had an amazing experience with Brooke! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She took wonderful care of both of our cats, kept us updated, and gave them lots of love and attention while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”
“Michael was absolutely wonderful with our girls and took such great care of them. We really appreciated the frequent updates and all of the amazing pictures he sent. We will definitely rebook him in the future!”
About: From a young age, my passion for animals has been a lifelong commitment. My deep connection began with rescuing a stray kitten at five years old, and since then, I have devoted my life to being a compassionate caretaker. This includes rescuing and rehabilitating injured animals I find, and regularly helping neighbors by caring for their pets. My entire life has been surrounded by animals, and I treat every one as if they are my own. I currently share my home with two dogs, whom I consider my world. My remote work arrangement provides a flexible schedule, which means I have the availability to seamlessly integrate pet care in to my weekly or daily routine. I have a fenced in yard and live in a very pet friendly neighborhood, allowing me to exercise your pets, by walking or letting them run loose in the backyard. When it comes to watching pets in clients home, I will adhere to there instructions, respecting there home and privacy.
About: I have been around animals since I was born and I am very comfortable around them. I have a dog and three cats, myself and have been the sole person responsible for their care. I have also cared for other people’s pets, dogs and cats of all sizes, since I was in high school. I’ve had experience with administering medication, walking/playing, and cleaning up after animals. I know our pets are like members of the family and I would love to care for your fur babies like they are my own! I am currently working a full time schedule Monday-Thursdays and am just looking for a side gig on the weekends to make some extra money. I have a nice, large patio available for romping around on in the sunshine. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and has lots of shady sidewalks to take a stroll on. I also have a nice dog park, for big and small, less than 5 miles away. I have a 5 year old rescue dog who is very sweet and gets along with others when comfortable.
“Alyssa kept us in the loop regarding Alice, our elderly kitty. Despite Alice’s very loud tale of woe when we got home, she was clearly well cared for, fed, watered and left with a clean box. Thank you, Alyssa.”
“Cheryl cared for my beagle like he was her own dog and he enjoyed his time with her. She was very communicative and respectful of my home which I appreciated. I would highly recommend Cheryl and would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Brittany did an amazing job with my kitten, Kismet. She would send several updates and pictures/videos during her drop ins. I’d highly recommend her and I’m sure to book her next time!”
About: No dog is too big or small for me to handle, I have had experience with dog sitting growing up with my aunt who is a pet sitter. I’ve helped take care of Great Danes, teacup chihuahuas, bearded dragons and even horses. I love dogs and their various different energy levels, from couch potato’s to rambunctious runners. I currently work a full-time job as an Environmental Data Analyst Monday through Friday. I usually get off work around 3:30 and live 10-15 minutes from my home. I am very flexible with my time after work, and can communicate well to coordinate pet care. And I am completely free during the weekend to coordinate pet care. As for my free time, I enjoy going to the beach with friends, my espresso machine and cuddling with my cats. I am very used to both big and small dogs, any type of cat, except exotics. I understand that sometimes animals can have accidents inside and have no problems cleaning. I am very watchful especially with pets who like to eat things they shouldn’t, and I am confident in my ability to understand animals body language, and being able to respond accordingly. I always want your pets to feel safe, loved and cared for and don’t want you to worry about your pet.
“Jill is the best! She took such good care of my two cats while I was gone over the weekend. She took thorough notes during the meet and greet and was very considerate and thoughtful of my cats' needs. You can tell she really enjoys taking care of animals. She sent so many cute photos too! I have no doubt she is this considerate with all of her clients, and she will be with you as well.”
“Bradi was able to be at the house in very short notice. We have two older dogs one is blind and deaf. She showed up when she was asked to and took excellent care of our pups. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a dog sitter she did multiple daily visits to our home.”
“Highly recommend. Richard took care of our pit bull mix while we were out of town. He went above and beyond to make sure she got all the love and attention she could want. Super pleased with our choice in pet sitter; we’ll definitely be return clients.”
About: Driven by a deep love for animals, I’ve dedicated myself to creating safe and nurturing spaces for pets. My journey began at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience bathing, walking, and interacting with dogs daily. Since then, I’ve continued to support local dog owners by offering dependable, compassionate care for their beloved companions. I work part-time, with some days consisting of 8-hour shifts. Outside of my scheduled work hours, I’m home with the pets for most of the day and can give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My schedule varies depending on my shifts, but I do my best to maintain their routines and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I work hard to make sure every pet feels comfortable while they’re with me. I always follow their usual routine. Whether that’s sticking to specific meal times, giving medications, or anything else their owners request. They get multiple walks a day, lots of attention, and plenty of time to relax or play, depending on what they enjoy. Since I’m available most hours of the day, they’re rarely left alone. I make sure to maintain a clean household if your pet is to have any accidents. I want you to come back home in the same condition you left it as.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teenager - rescued a young dog and a puppy! I love going out for long inquisitive walks and playing in the yard! I’m currently working full time 4 days a week. My schedule at the moment will change weekly but on days I’m off I have complete availability. I treat pets like family, even if they aren’t mine I will love your fur babies as if they were! I understand it’s hard to always trust others with your pets but I hope to help you feel at ease!
About: Ever since I was 6 years old, I have been taking care of animals of all sorts for as long as I can remember. Cats, bunnies, chickens, reptiles, birds, dogs and fish. Animals deserve respect and each have their own boundaries and needs same as the family that takes care of them, communication is key and I endeavor to deliver. I have plenty of free time to use for good. And what better way then to spend it with pets? I am very flexible, I only need one day in advance, but if you have an emergency feel free to reach out, I might be able to help. I only do care in the client's home, and I follow the family's routine and instructions. I prefer not to interfere with established habits, to minimize stress on the animal. I have cared for different species of pets, played with them, walked them, fed them, cleaned after them and administered prescribed medication. Besides English, I also speak Spanish and Russian.

Alyssa was fantastic!! Very communicative throughout our time away, and we always received a thorough update about our baby each day. It was great to see how our cat bonded with her over the course of the week. Would recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for someone thoughtful and caring to watch your babies.
Ireland is a very kind, gentle person, and has been extraordinarily patient with our cat, Ani. Our cat has trouble with everyone except for me and my husband and we really appreciate how patient Ireland has been with her every time she pet-sits, despite the hissing and hiding. Ireland is very responsive, always making sure to share updates on the timing of her visits and it makes us feel at ease when we are away from home.
Leaving my cats is always the hardest part of traveling, but Morgan made it so much easier. The minute I met her, I felt comfortable. I can’t really explain it, you just know when someone is kind and trustworthy. I never worried while I was away because I knew the cats were exactly where they should be. She’s not only an amazing pet sitter, she’s just a genuinely good person. That combination is rare. I came home to happy pets and complete peace of mind, and I couldn’t be more thankful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Park is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,976 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Park. 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 .
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.

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 .
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.
