“Abigail was great with my cats. She was able to do a few drop in visits with kind of short notice. Great communication and she sent pictures too! She also washed their food bowls for them! Thanks, Abigail!”
“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!”
About: With over ten years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds, I have developed a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities. From playful puppies to senior cats, I provide attentive, compassionate care to ensure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-loved. My commitment is to treat each animal with the same respect and dedication I would give my own. I’m currently working part tome while also attending school but can provide frequent check ins for your pets while also provide house sitting on weekends if needed. I provide dependable in-home pet care, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
“Brandi was amazing with our puppy, Remi! He was recovering from a back injury and had strict activity restrictions, and she did a fantastic job keeping him comfortable while still engaging him with some gentle training. Her updates were detailed, the photos were great, and it was clear she genuinely cared about him. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We are definitely booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Megan was great. She came down to meet our dogs and stayed for almost an hour to make sure the dogs were comfortable with her. She sent us pictures with each visit and even brought them some treats. Would definitely recommend using Megan and will use her services again. Thanks Megan.”
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I am very patient with senior dogs and puppies and I love to see them happy. Overnight stays are easier since I have my own pets and I can monitor and walk them all together and keep them in a routine. My dog sleeps in his bed, he is an older dog so sleeps a lot and my cats sleep in their tree or couch. I live in a townhome with plenty of room for the babies to play and/or keep company
“Jaclyn did a great job with Lula. She was able to get Lula outside to poop and pee. I think Lula made a new friend today. Would definitely have Jaclyn back.”
“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.”
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.
About: As a pet lover and owner, I understand the level of care and security pet owners desire. I am patient with pets, understand their needs, and will give them plenty of exercise (as desired) and attention. Whether you need me to visit your pet's home or drop them off at mine, I am glad to help. If you would like me to house your pet, I have plenty of room as well as a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run. There is also a bike trail nearby I would love to take your pet on if they enjoys walks. I currently have a small dog, but have owned other dogs before as well including a large dog, rabbits, a scorpion, and birds. I'm a quick at responding, so feel free to reach out whenever you may have a pet need. As a student, I have flexible hours and more availability than perhaps the average employee. I make it a point to take my own dog, Snickers on a walk at least once a day as well as playing fetch with her. I'd be happy to help keep your pet entertained as well. I have a comfortable home with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, and can make accomodations according to your pet's needs. I have a large basement in addition to a fenced in backyard, with plenty of room for them to run around. Have toys to provide as well to keep them entertained. I can provide a regular schedule for your pet to make sure they receive the care that works best for them. As a student, I can provide flexibility in regards to making home visits as well at providing care at my home if desired. I am just looking to help others with their pets. Please let me know any specifics or concerns you may have with what your pet may need.
“Shannon is a great sitter for my cats while I was away on a 3-week European trip. She made sure that my cats were fed and very happy with her. Very plesed with her quick responses and notes describing how my cats are doing. I will have her again in the near future!!”
“Emma was WONDERFUL! I was very nervous about using Rover while we were away and Emma put us right at ease. She updated us every time she visited and our dog loved her. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Jacob took exceptional care of our Boston Terrier, Gunner, while we were away at the beach. From the very beginning, he was punctual, dependable, and incredibly attentive. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Gunner was in such loving and caring hands. Jacob treated Gunner like he was his own, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for every day. It was clear from the updates and from how relaxed and happy Gunner was when we returned that he had received plenty of attention and afflooking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and truly loves animals, we highly recommend Jacob. We will definitely be using his services again!”
“Kayla did a great job with Chip, and I was super appreciative of her last minute availability! Chip seemed happy and tuckered out when I got home, so it seems like they had a fun time. Thanks Kayla!”

Brandi took amazing care of our German Shepherd, Harvey. She was kind, reliable, and kept us updated, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Harvey was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. We’d gladly book with Brandi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter.
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.
