“Benjamin was very conscientious & dedicated to his task of finding & befriending my scaredy-kitty! He also kindly filled our birdbath & watered our flowers to keep our other denizens (feathered and pollinator) content during our absence. Benjamin caught a glimpse of wRen in flight, however, I’m hoping he’ll return to give both of them additional time to get acquainted.”
“Megan is incredible! She takes amazing care of our kitties and plants like they were her own. She has gone out of her way for both cats and plants - she is an amazing pet and house sitter.”
“So thankful Liza was looked after by Alex and Andrea while I was away on a work trip. They sent pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. 10/10 recommend them if you are looking for caring and helpful pet sitters.”

About: Reliable, Attentive Care — I Treat Your Pets Like Family Hi, I’m Stacey. I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring deeply and responsibly for dogs. I recently lost my own dog after many years, and that experience reinforced how important patience, comfort, and dependable care truly are. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with a pet you love. I follow routines closely, take instructions seriously, and pay attention to the small details that help pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with senior dogs, anxious pets, or dogs who need a calm, steady presence. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands. Schedule availability: Currently, my availability is during weekday (elementary) school hours (8am - 2pm), ensuring dedicated attention for each visit giving focus and unrushed care. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely. I ensure leashes, doors, and gates are secure, monitor behavior and comfort, and give calm, attentive care. I respect my clients’ homes and provide clear updates and photos after every visit.
“Cassie is an incredibly attentive and thorough dog sitter! I enjoy getting updates from her drop in visits. I know Penny loves seeing her and getting some extra pets and attention when we are away. Cassie is our go-to sitter and we are grateful for the peace of mind we get knowing Penny is in her care!”
“Rebecca is a great pet sitter, attentive to our senior kitty’s special needs. Great communicator. We are looking forward to working with her many times in the future!”
“Jaclyn was great with my cat, Bella. She came at all the right times, made sure she was fed and had enough water, checked her litter every day, spent time, and played with her. I got plenty of pictures reassuring me that she was well taken care of. I would definitely seek out her services should I travel again.”
“10/10, I would absolutely book with her again! She made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Debra has been coming for drop-in visits at my house for 2 weeks to take care of my sweet pup. She always spends the time taking great care of him. I hope to continue to use Debra on a long term basis when I need help caring for my pup. Highly recommend!!”
“Briana was incredible! I truly count myself as lucky to have found someone that cared for my babies like they were her very own. Even in one of the worst scenarios we could've been in, she held her compsure and did what we couldn't. She immediately let me know something was wrong with my Gordito's health and then went above and beyond to care for him in his time of need. It's because of her that we found some peace in a very difficult time, and I can't thank her enough.”
“Jacob did a great job taking care of Gunner! He was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout his stay. We really appreciated the great care and would definitely recommend Jacob!”
“Justine was awesome! She cared for my English bulldog while I was away on vacation. She walked him multiple times a day, even in the rainy/snowing weather. I received a detailed report card each day and pictures as well. I will definitely be using her again and I have recommended her to multiple people already. I was so hesitant being my first time using rover, but it was an awesome experience.”
“Shannon was VERY professional annd anssis is last minute when our previous planned provider feel through. She took time with our dog. Feedback was excellent and she gave him attention and care while we were away for the day. I definitely recommend her!!!”

Aiden watched our dog and cat for a long weekend and did an amazing job. He checked in regularly, asked questions if needed, and was very responsive. We have a disabled, elderly, dog and he was great at giving her medication too. I definitely recommend using him.
Cassie was wonderful with my pets. Both of my Senior dogs needed a bit of extra attention, one scratched his eye and Cassie took the extra time to get him checked out with our vet. She gave great updates on how my babies were doing and snapped some fabulous pictures of them as well! I always get anxious when leaving my pets to go out of town but they were all in great hands. Thank you so much, Cassie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lake Shore on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 August 2026, there are 9,499 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Shore. 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 Shore 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 Shore. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
