Top rated Lakebay house sitters

“Vanessa is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of our animals for a full week and went above and beyond—even staying late when our flight was delayed. She was incredibly accommodating, kept in touch daily, and sent the pictures of our fur monsters, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Not only did our pets absolutely adore her, but we also came home to a spotless house! Vanessa is reliable, caring, and truly great with animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Taylor is amazing and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I had a last minute request for an overnight to go skiing and she was available, very communicative and came home to a house so clean it’s like she was never here! Would recommend to everyone, goes above and beyond!!!”


“Sierra was wonderful when we used her for dog sitting! She was very respectful of our home and our dog even got to enjoy an outing to In N out burger! We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks Sierra!!”


“If I could give Becky 10 stars I would. She took such good care of our pups. My wife and I were thrilled with all the pictures and videos. We will definitely use Becky again. Thanks Becky!!!!!🙏🏿✝️🙏🏿✝️”


“Theo was a great sitter! Very comfortable understanding special needs of older dogs. She was great at consistently communicating with us while we were away (including sending pix!). We would not hesitate to use Theo again.”


“Amazing sitter! Second time that we have had Alivia sit for our cat and she has done so well. We have a shy timid cat and Alivia is patient and so sweet with him. He loves her and that can’t say enough!”


“Madelyn was an excellent sitter for Frito! She was very communicative and shared pictures. Kept me updated on how she was doing throughout our trip. And the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely hope to book her again!”


“I cannot thank Bronwen enough for taking such good care of my Merphy! When I arrived home I knew he had been well loved because he hardly seemed to miss me. Bronwen also stepped up the day before my trip after initial dog-sitter cancelled. 5 plus stars . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Debra took good care of our fur kids and seemed unphased by their many (our many) idiosyncrasies. She was very communicative before the stay, and sent photos while we were gone. She left the house in perfect shape, including laundering sheets and remaking the bed—not expected, but appreciated! Dogs were calm and happy when we got home, and her darling dog Daisy was a nice, calm little bonus for the pups.”


About: NOTE: I will be moving states. After September 10 I will be unavailable. Cared for family, friends, neighbors and even lost dogs my entire life. My family has taught me at a young age to care for animals and the responsibilities it takes. I am more than willing to care and love any dog! Anytime a coworker goes on vacation I am am first to step up and take care of their pets. I am more than willing to discuss flexible schedules. I am available during the week, though my schedule may change. Please message me so we can talk details! Don’t have a fenced in yard? That’s ok, I love going for walks and playing outside. I’m more than happy to go to a dog park if needed. I prefer a schedule of typical eating hours, play hours, or potty breaks (if there is a regular routine). Any specific needs for a dog I am more than willing to learn and help.

“Brad did a great job managing our large pack! And he was very patient as I learned how to use Rover and the app for our bookings. We loved seeing the videos and photos of all our fur kids having a great time while we were away, and definitely recommend Brad for other pet parents!”


About: I grew up on a farm with lots of different animals, I also have house sat for friends and neighbors over the years. Love dogs and Cats! I work full time so I'm only available after 5:15 p.m. during the week and weekends. I don't do a lot out side of work. I would do day care and house sitting at the clients home. I can pass a background check and have house sat for friends and neighbors over the years.

“Emrys was fantastic with my senior dog, Mal. He was a great communicator and always let me know what was going on with his schedule/key hand offs, asked questions when he needed, and sent timely updates every day. In the pictures he sent, I could see my dog getting happier and more at ease with him as the days went on. Emrys was courteous and cleanly and did a great job cleaning and changing the bed sheets for the sitter that arrived after him. My only tip for others is that Emrys does have an active life outside of his work and isn't the type of sitter that stays in every night with a book or a film. So, be upfront in your consultation if you have expectations for when you'd like him to be home for lights out. He's very respectful and communicative as long as he knows what you're wanting.”


“I would give 100 stars if I could. Ashlyn is so calm and patient with my old, stubborn but also goofy and loving German Shepherd. She is very knowledgeable on different dog mannerisms and innately knows how to handle his obnoxious behavior and also encourages his good behavior with positive reinforcement. I would highly recommend Ashlyn!”


“Thank you, Sarah, for all of your help this week - taking care of Axel and our home. Appreciate your daily updates and photos! Truly gives us peace of mind. It was such a nice surprise to come home late from traveling to find freshly baked brownies! You are so sweet!”


About: I am extremely educated on dog behavior and quirks some dogs may have, I have grown up with lots of different breeds and sizes of dogs. I have pet sat dogs and cats a bunch of times.I absolutely love animals, I volunteer at a local horse barn a few times a week just to hangout with the animals there and groom them and clean their stalls. I’ve always felt that I can understand dog psychology, and I’ve never had a bad reaction from a dog either. Which might just be luck but I think that I understand them enough to avoid pushing their buttons. My favorite things to do with my three dogs is to just throw them a ball in my backyard and give them too many treats. I once stayed at a families house with 9 cats, and it went very well. It really showed me how each cat is a little different and has different needs and personalities. I may be more of a dog person but I love love love to cuddle up with a cat and watch tv. I have learned to let the kitties come to me rather than being too forceful with my love!😂 Overall, I am an animal lover that will go above and beyond to make your pets feel safe and loved while your away!🩷🩷🩷 I have a pretty open schedule, as I do all my college classes online. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I work from 6am till 1pm. But besides that’s I am super flexible! As for your pets staying at my house, I will watch them at all times while they are outside and inside, just to monitor. Also depending on the size of dog you have, I like to set timers to take the dogs out to go potty. Since I have 3 dogs of my own if they are spending time together and playing I will closely monitor to avoid any possible conflict. My dogs are pretty behaved, but if they aren’t getting respected by another dog they will give them a warning growl. As for sleeping I’m comfortable having them sleep on a couch or bed even, if that is what they are used to, I also have two crates that are for medium to small sized dogs which your dogs could use, if you have a bigger dog, bringing their crate would be a good idea😊. As for staying in your home, I will try my best to make your dog or cat feel as if nothing has changed, and keep their usual routine. I usually just chill on the couch and do homework, and watch TV while I’m there. I love to keep communication with the pet owners, and sending pictures and videos.😊

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, from growing up with family pets to recently caring for pups on our lively little farm. Now I have settled into our new home on a peaceful island, where our days are filled with long walks, playtime at the community beach, and plenty of cuddles. We have a secure fenced yard, and your dog will be treated like part of the family—with love, routine, and lots of tail-wagging fun. I am home all day, so your furry family member will be watched and loved. 🐾 We love our little island and the quiet walks and fun on the beach each day. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I treat each animal like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of affection. I follow their routines closely, from feeding and medication schedules to favorite toys and walking routes, to help them feel comfortable and safe. In my home, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment with a fenced yard, cozy spots to relax, and daily outdoor time. In your home, I make sure to respect your space and keep everything clean and consistent so your pet can thrive in familiar surroundings.

About: I have lots of experience with farm animals, as well as more exotic ones like large reptiles and snakes, to simple household pets! I’ve cared for animals that have special diets or need daily medication. My days are fairly flexible! I have three kids in school Monday through Friday, my husband is home weekends, so I’m up early and can work with your schedule. I take the safety of caring for your animal very seriously, all precautions will be handled as such. If you’ll need… -Leashing/Harness -Gates Locked -Kenneling -House Alarms set -Etc.
