About: Hi, I’m David. As a lifelong animal lover, providing dedicated, high-quality pet care is very much second nature to me. I understand firsthand the deep bond we share with our animals—a bond I thoroughly enjoyed for nearly 13 unforgettable years with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Because I work remotely and typically enjoy a flexible schedule, your pet will have constant companionship, individual attention, and seamless supervision throughout the day. Whether they are boarding at my place or I am house-sitting at yours, they will never be a secondary priority. I treat every guest like a member of my family. Whether your pet thrives on active walks, playful energy, or just quiet companionship, they will enjoy a relaxing, boutique stay tailored entirely to their normal routine. I know how tough it is to be away from your fur baby, so I am fully committed to keeping you connected with photos, videos, and text updates as often as you prefer. For your convenience, I also offer same-day appointments and make every effort to accommodate your schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I primarily work remotely and enjoy a flexible schedule, so I'm generally available most days/nights when needed. I can also be available with little or no notice assuming no prior committments. I have an open grass yard in both the front and back of my property, and I enjoy spending time outside. I'm very open to keeping pet owners as informed as possible and am happy to keep you up to date with photo logs throughout the day.

About: I've always loved dogs-big or small, shy or playful, each one has a special place in my heart. Caring for pets has become more than just a passion; it's a part of who I am. I take the time to get to know every pet and their needs so I can make them feel safe, loved and happy. My goal is to give them the same love and attention I give my own. After recently retiring, I've found that caring for dogs is the perfect way to fill my days with joy and purpose. With more time and flexibility now, I can focus on creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy. When I come into your home, my priority is your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I provide gentle, reliable care so your pet feels loved.

Trish was wonderful with our scared little nervous nelly. Trish is the first sitter that was able to get our baby to come out from under the bed. She even had her eating out of her hand. We will definitely call on Trish again when we need to have a pet sitter!!

About: As a veterinary assistant student with over 100 hours of shelter experience, I bring trusted, hands-on care. I am a dog mother of two dachshunds and understand canine behavior, safety, and health. Your pet will be treated with the same attentiveness, patience, and love I give my own. I’m trained to notice subtle changes in animals, ensuring peace of mind while you’re away. I work Monday - Friday 8-5 at a law firm, I make sure I prioritize pet care every single day — including weekends. My schedule is flexible, and I make it a point to carve out consistent time for walks, feedings, check-ins, and quality care. Animals are a huge part of my life, so you can trust that I’ll always show up on time, stay communicative, and treat your pets with the same care I give my own. Your pet’s routine and comfort are my top priority, and I’m committed to making their care seamless and stress-free. When it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s—I believe in creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where animals feel secure and understood. I’ve dedicated countless hours to researching proper training, canine behavior, and enrichment, and I’ve used that knowledge to raise my own with patience and consistency. I only give my dogs the best, and I bring that same level of care to every animal I work with. From structured walks to soothing downtime, I pay attention to what each pet needs and follow routines closely. At the shelter, I made it a priority to ensure every animal felt respected, safe, and seen. I’ll do the same for yours. Building trust takes time, but I show up every time, with love, intention, and a deep respect for your pet’s well-being.

About: What sets me apart is over 10 years of hands on experience caring for my own dogs. I’ve been through every stage of a pup’s life from energetic, curious puppies to the tender care senior dogs need. I understand the patience, consistency, and love it takes to keep dogs happy and healthy. Because of this, I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.” Right now, I have plenty of free time which means I can give your pet my full attention.I enjoy making pet care part of my daily routine from morning walks to playtime and cuddles throughout the day. Having the flexibility in my schedule allows me to keep pets on their normal routines and make sure they always feel cared for and comfortable. In my home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them a calm space, regular walks, and plenty of playtime and affection just like I do with my own dogs. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel right at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and rest. My goal is always to keep pets happy, loved, and stress free, whether they’re with me or staying in their own familiar environment.

My home is pet-friendly with a secure, fenced yard where dogs can roam freely and safely.

About: As a child raised on a farm, I developed a natural ability to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. For as long as I can remember, I have provided my pets with everything they need to thrive. I have owned several dogs and cats over the years. I make sure they remain happy and healthy. This includes administering treatments when necessary, bathing them regularly, trimming their nails, keeping up with vaccinations and medical checkups, and providing plenty of affection and companionship on a daily basis. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me. I not only provide for their basic needs, but I also establish a loving bond with my pets through consistent care, grooming, attention, and of course walks and treats. The wellbeing of the animals in my care is of the utmost importance to me. Pet care is completely integrated into my daily routine and responsibilities. From the moment I wake up, my focus is on ensuring the needs of my pets are met. Each morning begins with filling food and water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and walking the dogs. My farm animals also require daily attention in terms of feeding, watering and letting them into their specific areas. Throughout the day, I am constantly checking in on my pets, refilling water, playing with them, and providing comfort and companionship. If any of my pets show signs they are unwell or need to see a vet, I make that my top priority and will rearrange my schedule accordingly to take them to appointments. Even during the nighttime, I am there for my pet and their needs and listen for any sounds that would indicate they want to go outside or need something. Their wellbeing and happiness comes before anything else in my routine. No matter what else is going on in my day, my pets always receive the time, care and love they deserve from me. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I provide for all the needs of the animals under my supervision. Whether at my own home or a client's residence, my focus is always on ensuring the pets remain happy, healthy, and well behaved. I allow the pets outdoor access at regular intervals, taking them for walks when needed. Basic hygiene is a priority, so pets receive routine grooming that includes baths and nail trimming. I play with the animals frequently to and provide lots of affection, hugs, and praise to make sure they feel loved. Their diet is closely monitored. I prepare fresh food and change water dishes regularly. I also secure away objects that could pose a hazard if left where a pet could access them. Regular vet appointments are scheduled to check them out and keep them up to date with everything. I take the pets to parks and other open spaces for fun. My role as a pet caregiver ensures all needs are met and the animals remain comfortable and content, whether at my own residence or under my supervision at a client's home. The pets' happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 88 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Placid. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Placid 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 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 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.
