About: Hey there! I'm Julian, an experienced pet sitter, dog walker, boarder, and house sitter with 20+ years of animal care experience. I've cared for pets of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to senior companions. Your furry friends will be treated like family! 🏡 House Sitting: I'll keep your home safe, clean, and organized while you're away, including collecting mail, watering plants, and managing trash and recycling. I often leave homes cleaner than I found them! 🐾 Boarding: I live in a spacious, two-story townhouse in Ocean Beach with a large 20×20 patio and a dog park just one block away! Pets are welcome on the furniture, and my roommate loves giving them extra attention. Check out my photos! ❤️ About Me: I've lived in San Diego since 2019 and began pet sitting after losing my beloved 17-year-old pug. What started as a way to reconnect with animals became a passion and a side hustle to help fund my dream food truck! I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, reptiles, and birds. I'm always happy to learn about new animals and their unique needs. 🚗 Availability: As an Uber/Lyft driver, I make my own schedule and can accommodate most requests. I typically work mornings and evenings, leaving afternoons flexible. Whether you're traveling for a weekend or an extended vacation, you can count on me to provide dependable, loving care for your pets and home. New clients get a discount! 😉 https://www.rover.com/sit/juliao37240 I make my own hours weekly as an Uber/Lyft driver, heavier on the weekends but can accommodate any routine. Since I set my own hours, I'm flexible and happy to adjust my schedule around your pet's feeding, walking, and care needs. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. No visitors or parties, ever. I carefully follow all instructions, including medications, feeding schedules, exercise, and household rules. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my priorities.
About: Every dog is different and I can adapt to his or her personality. I have two doodles, and a German Shorthaired Pointer of my own. Animals are my passion and I would love nothing more than to spend time with as many furry friends as possible. I work from home in the Northland Monday through Friday. My schedule allows plenty of flexibility to come and go when a furry friend needs me. For my dogs, food time is taken very seriously as I'm sure it is in every home! I feed my pets twice a day and provide fresh water. Treats are always given after potty of course! There will be nicknames and tons of pets!!!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I know that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. This is my only job at the moment so I am very flexible. Soon, though I may do some substitute teaching but that is a nice job too because it’s also very flexible. I care for every pet according to their individual routine and needs. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, and I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide, including medications, feeding schedules, or other special care.

About: I’ve been having pets since I was 10 years old. So far had 3, and been watching over them plus relatives and friends. Very intentive and responsible with times of feeding them and walks as well, along with playtime! I’m currently working part time with Rover. I have availability overnight and as well any days in the day time from 3:30-overnight. Besides Saturdays are unavailable. I gently introduce myself to dogs so they can get comfortable with me. Give them treats unless ordered not to due to any sort of allergies (let me know if they do). Are able to walk around the place.
About: As someone who grew up on a farm, I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, and I love them all. I’ve owned both cats and dogs, so whether you’ve got an energetic doggo that needs lots of movement, a homebody pup that loves cuddles, or a shy kitty who just wants someone’s presence nearby, I am happy to accommodate to offer them the care they need. I have provided lots of exercise enrichment for the dogs I’ve cared for. I genuinely enjoy walking, so it makes both of our days when your pup(s) loves walking too! I also run and would be happy to take your dog on a run if you’re looking to give them some extra exercise. If you’re looking for a friendly and trustworthy person who will treat your pets kindly and with love, please reach out! Are you going out of town? Working long hours? Having guests visit? Wanting more activity for your fur baby? Just need some extra help with pet care? I’d love to connect with you. I’m a part-time graduate student and have a flexible schedule right now, so I’d be happy to stop by for a walk or visit during the day, or stay with your pet if you’re away! I understand how important routine is to animals, and I am happy to accommodate your feeding, walking or bedtime routine to keep them feeling comfortable and cared for! Send me a message to let me know what your needs are and I’d be happy to discuss with you.
About: I am very attentive and affectionate with the pets in my care, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled! 😊 I’ve even been accused of paying more attention to my pets than anyone else. I have years of experience training and caring for dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every dog has a personality all their own. Nine years ago, I lost my best friend, Rosco, my standard-size Yorkshire Terrier, at 16 years old. I still miss him tremendously. One of the ways I’ve chosen to honor the love and companionship he gave me is by spending my spare time caring for other dogs and giving them the same kind of attention and affection that meant so much to Rosco and me. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone you don’t know well. I want you to be able to leave knowing your pet is in caring, attentive hands. I’m very hands-on and love spending plenty of one-on-one time with the animals in my care, whether that means playing, walking, relaxing together, or simply giving them the extra attention they’re accustomed to at home. And you won’t have to wonder how things are going while you’re away! I’ll stay in touch with regular updates, texts, and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and enjoy your time away with greater peace of mind. Your pet won’t simply be “watched.” They’ll be cared for, talked to, loved on, and treated as though they were one of my own. 🐾 I have reached early retirement and would love the company of small, crate- and potty-trained dogs who desire a lot of care, love and attention. I live on the first floor of an apartment in a one-bedroom apartment that is a bit small to care for large dogs, so I will offer to keep the smaller dogs for 1-4 days, nights, overnights, or weekends. I am also available to stay in your home.
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”

About: I have taken care of animals of many shapes and sizes throughout my life, from large dogs to kittens. I also have volunteer experience at KC Pet Project. I actively take care of cats and dogs of my own most days of the week around school and work, as well as maintaining other hobbies. Being able to help others with their pets is very fulfilling to me! I have experience feeding, brushing, walking, and training animals. In my clients home i would provide the upmost care for their pet and their home.
About: Hi! I’m Hailey, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I have experience with puppy training and am trained in dog CPR. As a former collegiate athlete, I’m also happy to keep up with even the most energetic pups! My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With the flexibility of my schedule, I have the privilege of being available for your pets throughout the day. This means I can provide them with the attention, care, and companionship they need. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, or administering any necessary medications, I can be there to tend to their needs promptly. Additionally, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine for pets, so I ensure that their feeding and exercise schedules align with their usual habits. Rest assured, your furry companions will receive dedicated care and supervision, as I am always present and ready to meet their needs. The way I care for pets in my home or a client's home depends on the specific service being provided. Here are a few scenarios: In the client's home: Pet Sitting: When providing pet sitting services at a client's home, I make sure to replicate the pet's daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and engaging in playtime or exercise based on their specific needs. I also offer companionship and affection to help reduce any separation anxiety they may experience. Drop-in Visits: During drop-in visits, I visit the client's home at scheduled times to check on their pets. I ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and spend quality time with them, offering play and affection. Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I take the dogs on stimulating walks to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and an opportunity for bathroom breaks. I follow any instructions regarding route preferences, leash handling, or specific behavioral considerations. Regardless of the service provided, the well-being, safety, and happiness of the pets are my top priorities. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, maintain their regular routines, and shower them with love and attention, just as their owners would.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I started out by dog sitting for my family, and over time I’ve become the go-to person whenever someone needs reliable, loving care for their pets. I regularly dog sit my dad’s 5-year-old Husky, who often stays with me for weeks at a time. I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs and know how important daily exercise and mental stimulation are—especially for working breeds. I also care for my mom and step-dad’s two Pomskies. I’ve stayed in their home for a full week and have also hosted them at mine for extended periods. I’m familiar with routines, feeding schedules, crate use, and keeping dogs comfortable in new environments. Most recently, I watched my sister’s two mixed-breed dogs (a Bernedoodle and a Malinois/Boxer mix) for nine days in their home. They’re very active, so I built their days around walks, play, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep them happy and engaged. Because I’ve cared for multiple dogs at one time and for extended stays, I’m confident managing different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away. I work a regular schedule from 8:00–4:30 each day, but I build pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to come home on my lunch break to let animals out, check in, or take them for a quick walk. I’m also available on Saturdays after 12:30 PM, and I’m fully available all day on Sundays and Mondays. This gives me plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or hosting dogs that do well with a predictable routine. In Clients’ Homes: I respect each home and follow all instructions carefully. I stick to your dog’s daily routine, including feeding times, walks, medication, crate training, or any special needs. I keep dogs engaged through walks, play, structured downtime, and enrichment tailored to their personality. I also provide updates and photos so you always know how your pets are doing. I have experience caring for high-energy breeds, multi-dog households, and long-term stays, so I’m confident adapting to whatever your pet needs to feel happy and secure.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with everything from puppy potty and crate training to feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time within my days to love and care for your fur babies while your're unable to! I have a fenced yard with lots of other friendly dogs that are always eager to have another playmate! Between crate training, potty training, or walks with your pup I am able and willing to do it all!
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and any other animal you can think of. I've owned animals my whole life and often volunteer at local shelters I'm currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to care for any sweet babies. I go to the dog park 5 days a week for at least an hour. I also go on 30-45-minute walks with my boys. I have two boys; one is a puppy. They're both great with other animals. I have a puppy-proofed house with plenty of room, toys, and treats for any babies.

About: As a dog owner and cat lover, I’ve dog sat, house sat, and cat sat for many loved ones in my life! I am currently on summer break, meaning I am home 24/7 and am able to accommodate for all different pet needs! In addition, I live near a beautiful park that is perfect for dog walking! I’m currently on summer break, so I am dedicated to giving my full attention to your fur babies! I am available for daily walks, lots of play time, and anything else your pet may need! I have one very friendly Cavapoo who would love a playmate during the summer! I am determined to make your pets comfortable, whether that be watching them in my home or your own.
About: I groom dogs as well as have an existing client base with pet sitting/dog walking. I also used to be a rabbit breeder and have general experience with many animals. I originally worked in a dog daycare/hotel and shifted to grooming after moving to PA My work/school schedule isn't consistent. But generally I'm awake between the hours of 5am-11pm with wake up times and sleep times varying around those marks. Whatever schedule your pup needs I'm able to accommodate. I have an extremely friendly and passive Corgi named Fiona and a friendly and playful Pomeranian named Victoria. I have have 2 cats but they are able to be separated if it's an issue for your friend.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Waukomis
Tyler has been great with Castiel! He keeps me updated during every visit, which gives me a lot of peace of mind, and he’s been incredibly flexible whenever plans or timing have shifted. The whole experience has honestly been so easy and completely pain-free. I really appreciate knowing Castiel is in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend Tyler for both walks and drop-in visits.

I would give Shannon 10 stars if I could! She went above and beyond taking care of our girls. She even had a last minute emergency and was still able to complete the booking. She really paid attention to our pets behavior and acted according. She communicated very well and sent lots of pics. I will definitely be using her again in the future!

Casey was great I’ll use her again. The only complaint I have is the Rover app is not user friendly to me. It had me keep going back to do insurance and so many places for each day and hr of the day to specify everything. I’m glad for the service Rover supplies and we need but they need to simplify in this day and age things should be easy not hard going forward. Life is hard enough

Definitely would book Karen again! We reached out to her last-minute and she was very responsive and accommodating and even squeezed a meet-and-greet into her morning for us. During our trip, she was always on time for drop-ins with our pups and sent pictures and updates with each visit. We were so relieved on our trip to know we could rely on her. Thank you so much Karen!

This was the first time I used Rover and Maria did not disappoint! She was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend booking with her! I did 3 drop ins a day while I was out of town and my boys got plenty exercise and she even brushed one of them! If I could give 100 stars I would!

Amanda is an amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for our Luna, sending updates and pics, and even dealt with a crazy windstorm that took down our gazebo! Her care and attention to our home and pup were top-notch. We're so grateful for her! Highly recommend on Rover. 5 stars isn't enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾"

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lake Waukomis is $13 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $19 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 2,445 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lake Waukomis. 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.
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 Waukomis 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!
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
