About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always had animals/pets in my life. I’ve owned everything from small dogs to big dogs and cats. I’m a teacher so all pet care will have to be in the evening after school. I typically will finish the school day at 3:30. I own two cats and provide them with safe home environment with plenty of enrichment. I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of and they’ll have a fun time too.
About: Hi! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, crested geckos, bearded dragons, and iguanas! I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and routines, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. Expect lots of love, attention, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away! 🤍🐶🐱🦎 I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. 🤍 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. 🐾 I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, routines, medications, and household rules. I understand that every pet has different boundaries and personalities, so I’m patient and will always allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. I’ll treat your pets, home, and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! 🤍
About: I currently own 2 cats (age 1 and 3) who are my two little babies! I’ve lived with/taken care of cats my whole life and also have experience with drop ins/walks for dogs! It’s important for me to make sure your own little babies are still given important care when you are away! As an owner of cats who need their own care from time to time, I understand the important of keeping their owner’s mind at peace while they are away. I treat other people’s pets as if they were my own! I want them to be treated with the same care I would want my own to be treated.
“Sophia loves her new friend. Laurie has been excellent in taking care of my fur baby. She has been awesome helping me out on short notice also. Thank you so much Laurie!”
“Samantha was amazing with our 2 elderly guys. She really made the most of her drop ins with them including puzzles and lots of pets! Would definitely use her again.”
“Dennis was so wonderful and always on time. We didn’t worry about our fur baby being neglected or not making a potty break. Peace of mind when you are traveling goes a long way! He was great at sending pictures and when we had a delivery, he brought it inside for us. He would always respond in a quick time frame. We really appreciated him spending time with our doggo. We will definitely be using Dennis in the future.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had pets my entire life! I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how important pets are—they really are part of the family. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who love walks and playtime to pets who would rather curl up on the couch and get some extra attention. I’m also a cat lover and understand that sometimes the best way to win over a cat is to let them decide when they’re ready to be your friend! I’m dependable, responsible, and will treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. As a teacher, I have a pretty consistent daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan pet care into my routine. I’m available before and after school, in the evenings, and have much more flexibility on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I’m used to having pets as part of my everyday life, so feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and checking in on them already feel like a natural part of my day! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions, and of course plenty of attention. I’m also respectful of your home and will make sure everything is secure when I leave. For pets staying in my home, I’ll work with you to learn about their routines, personality, preferences, and comfort level before their stay. I have pets of my own, so safety is especially important to me. I’ll make sure introductions are handled carefully and that every pet has the space and attention they need to feel comfortable. I know every animal is different, and I’m happy to adjust my care to what works best for your
About: I've owned dogs, fish, a bird, and a turtle and am eager to assist with your pets! I've also sat for cats and dogs, in the past. I'm currently working part-time so my schedule allows for plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have weekends available for walks and drop-ins. I am reliable and pay great attention to detail. I have a natural rapport with animals and am looking forward to meeting and spending time with your pet(s)!
“Marianne was absolutely delightful at our meet and greet, and the gang 🐾 loved her from the start! The pics each visit felt very personal, and I knew my babies were in good hands!”
“Thank you Rio for taking care of our dog! :) we know Greta has a unique personality but she became more comfortable with Rio and we love her taking care of her. Definitely we will keep her asking to pet sitter next time we go out”
“Heather is amazing! She is so great with our babies and makes sure everyone feels so loved while their parents are away. We always know our pets are in good hands with her!”
“Misti was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our animals. I’ve never felt more at ease leaving my animals with someone. We have peace of mind when out of town that our fur babies will not only have their basics cared for, but loved too!”
About: Hi! I’m Rachel! I’ve been a dog person my entire life and have been watching dogs since I was 11. I have two dogs of my own, Wesley and Wally, and dogs truly are my best friends. 🥹🐾 I know how important it is to find someone you completely trust with your pup, so I’ll treat yours just like my own, with lots of love, patience, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including giving medications, following specific routines, and providing extra support when needed. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give your pup plenty of attention. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play or prefer a cozy day on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐶🧡 I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and little pup reports so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and well cared for. I’d love to meet your pup and become their new bestie! 🐾 I work remotely, which means I’m home with my dogs pretty much all day and am always attentive to their needs. Dogs are already a big part of my everyday routine, so caring for another pup fits right in! I love having a dog around to keep me company while I work, and I’m able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a spacious, fully fenced-in yard where the pups can safely run around and get some energy out, plus my two friendly dogs, Wesley and Wally, who love having a friend around! I’m also happy to accommodate whatever makes your pup feel most comfortable. If they’re crate trained and prefer their crate, we can absolutely do that. We even have a spare bedroom that can be their own little space if they’d rather have some quiet time away from the other dogs. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home here.
“Liz was so great with my two girl cats they both need a special touch for different reasons (scared / territorial) and Liz was perfect! Took such great care of them. Will use her next time!”
“Madeline has a heart on what she’s doing. She took really good care of our babies while we were out for vacation. She gives timely update. She even noticed the rash on our dog’s belly and got us notified right away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Waukomis
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Lori is the best! We were out of country and our sitter fell through and Lori jumped in to help at an hour’s notice so that our pup could have care and a familiar, friendly face for the rest of our trip. If you need someone that you can trust implicitly in your home, look no further. I promise your fur baby will thank you for it too! I can’t say enough great things about Lori.
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
Paige did a good job visiting my cat and taking care of all the things I asked her to do while I was gone. He definitely looked well taken care of and was in a good mood. Paige was also very good about communicating and being available despite the time zone difference we had.
Maria is always focused on the animals, which I appreciate! When I returned, my cats were happy to see me but not aggravated that I'd been gone. That means that they were well cared for and got a lot of attention! I also value Maria's flexibility and her help with things like bringing in my mail, etc. I think she's great! Will definitely have her back!
Took awesome care of my kitties! Apartment was left clean and it was awesome to come home and destress without having messes to clean up. I totally recommend her. She gave me lots of update pictures whenever she checked in and asked good questions to make sure my cats were well taken care of. I would love to book her again for my next vacation. 10/10! 🫶🏼💕
It took Sebastian barely a moment to get comfortable with Samantha! From the meet and greet, immediately demonstrated confidence and competence in knowing how to approach and interact with him, and watching him warm up to her more and more with each visit reaffirmed that I made the right choice as a first-timer to Rover! I will be requesting her services again without a doubt.
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!
Caitlin is great with our boys and an excellent communicator. She really goes above and beyond. She is our go-to when we need a sitter and appreciate her getting us in on short notice. She leaves our place very clean and from her report cards, we can tell she takes time to hang out with our boys and ensure they have enrichment.
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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾"

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 .

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 Waukomis 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 Waukomis. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
