“Marissa house sat and dogs sat for us for 3 nights. We really appreciated her ability to adapt. We have a GP who is a rescue. He has become a very sweet and loving dog with us, but we know he can be very territorial, protective and stubborn. He wasn’t easy for her to deal with, but she persevered. When we returned our house was in great shape and she took good care of our boy. We are so glad that we met Marissa. She is willing to come back and deal with our GP and we appreciate that. We will definitely be contacting her again.”

I currently own two socialized and well behaved dogs who love to meet others. I have a lot of experience watching dogs and have watched many different breeds with all kinds of personalities. If you would like me to walk them everyday, that is not an issue. Please feel free to send me a request. I am reliable, responsible, dependable, and can guarantee they will receive the love and exercise they need while you are away. I treat every dog who I watch as my own pup. I always make sure I give plenty of updates and send pictures throughout their stay so you know exactly how your dog/ dogs are doing. Your pup will receive constant care and attention. I always treat your dogs just like I would treat my own. Look forward to hearing from you soon! Thank you. I have Open availability, Feel free to send a message so we can discuss more.

“Katherine was fantastic, once again! She has taken wonderful care of our home, a very high maintenance dog, and two cats (one still a hyper kitten!) several times now. I recommend Katherine without reservation. She is responsible, reliable, neat, patient, and kind. Plus, she always takes GREAT photos of our pets ...”
“Heather earned 5 *****. She was great with Angel who had an issue on Saturday night. Heather called me (in New York) and took Angel with my cousin to the Pet Hospital in Temecula. To make a long story short my dog passed away. There was nothing more Heather or my cousin could have done. Heather felt really bad but I told her there was nothing she could have done differently. I would hire Heather again if Angel was still with me. Thank you for having employees who really care and take pride in their job. Don Dedeaux”
“Laura was very professional and was completly comfortable with my pets right away. She kept me updated and asked/answered questions as needed. She even took the time to clean up after my dog with incontinence issues. And, lastly she added a sweet touch by putting out a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a note of appreciation. It was hard to leave my vacation, but coming home was great. I would recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for dogs at different life stages and with different energy levels. I currently have two Siberian Huskies, ages 9 and 7, so I understand the patience, consistency, exercise, and attention that dogs need throughout their lives. I also have experience with puppies, including helping with routines, play, basic training, positive reinforcement, and keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. At the same time, caring for my older dogs has given me experience with senior dogs and understanding that they may need a slower pace, extra patience, and more individualized care. I’m very active and love taking dogs on walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park or beach when appropriate. I believe dogs thrive when they receive not only love and attention, but also exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Most importantly, I treat every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, comfort level, and needs, and I’m always willing to learn and follow their owner’s instructions to make sure they feel safe and happy while in my care. 🐾❤️ About Me 🐾 I’ve had a passion for dogs since I was a little girl, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I have two Siberian Huskies of my own, ages 9 and 7, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs. I’ve been dog sitting for about two years and truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of dogs. I don’t have a breed preference—I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities! I’m available mornings and evenings, and I love keeping dogs active and engaged. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing at the dog park, hiking, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I believe dogs deserve plenty of enrichment and time outside rather than being home alone all day. Having high-energy Huskies has also taught me a lot about patience, exercise, play, and keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated. I’m always willing to learn more and make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, loved, and happy. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the same care and attention I give my own! 🐶❤️ I care for every pet as if they were my own. Before each stay or visit, I like to learn about their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications if applicable, and any special instructions from their owner. In my client’s home, I make sure to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and exercise based on their energy level and comfort. I’m also respectful of their home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for play and exercise. Having two Huskies of my own, ages 9 and 7, I’m comfortable with both high-energy dogs and dogs who may prefer a slower pace. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owner is away. 🐾❤️
About: I’m a huge animal lover. Currently a cat mom but have been a dog mom for many years. I’m extremely patient and lovable with pets so I’m definitely someone you can count on. Ideally I would like to do this full time. I only care for my cat and home so I currently am very open when it comes to availability. I have an indoor cat. She is spayed and fed a can of wet food every morning. I feed her dry food and check on her water too. Litter box gets cleaned every night and play time at least 15min a day along with cuddles and lots of attention throughout the day. I hope this gives you an idea of how I will care for your pets.
“Maria was wonderful with our two boys! Right away we could tell they would be comfortable with her and we were right. We were hesitate to leave our dogs and go out of town but Maria was great with giving us updates on how they were doing along with sending us pictures. She treated them as if they were her own. She is very loving and gave them both tons of attention. I am so happy with everything she did while taking care of our babies, Maria is amazing!”
“I felt assured that my Gigi and Buddy were in great hands while I was away. Eleven days away is a long time, but she respected my home and babies as if it were her own. The frequent pictures were great and the dogs appeared happy and loved!! And knowing Sandra's extensive veterinary experience, I knew my little blind diabetic poodle would be well taken care of 🐩. And my Chihuahua Buddy fell in love with her!! 🐕 I will absolutely request Sandra for our future needs!”
“Calab was great! I loved all the pictures and updates he provided. I loved that he was knowledgeable about English Bulldog’s. He followed all of our instructions. I highly recommend him!”
About: I spend lots of time with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I also take pride being a dog trainer apprentice in the making. I currently work full-time time at a dog ranch and would love to spend my days off with your pups! More tail-waggin fun for pups! I follow client instructions and care for their pups. From feeding, medication if needed, walking, playing, grooming, baths if needed, and spending quality time too.
About: I have lived with and cared for dogs most of my life, all of different breeds, but I am now a sole dog parent to two amazing, working breed (retired) senior dogs. I have learned so much over the years about responsible and safe care for dogs across the spectrum of ages, breeds and size. I am a business owner and a full-time pet parent, I generally have most availability throughout the week and work on the weekends. My fur children take their regular walks in the early evening, so I'm generally most available during the day and during the weekdays. I care for pets based on the preferences expressed by the client. All foundational care with a pet will always be with care, safety and treats.
About: I have always had a passion for dogs since I was a young girl!! I have pet sit for neighbors, family and friends, and also worked for a doggy day care as a playroom attendant for a year! Your pup will mean everything and I mean EVERYTHING to me!! I have plenty of time to pop in and check on your pup! During the school year I am full time on weekdays, but still have plenty of time to put your pup first! I am not able to keep pups at my home, but at a clients home during pop ins I am able to take the pup out (on leash for a walk or free range in a backyard if able!), snuggle your pup for as long as needed, and of course feed!! For house sitting, I prefer to do as many check ins as needed, but cannot stay overnight unless absolutely necessary. Caring for your pup will always be my top priority :)
“Vivian was absolutely perfect! My kitties love her and she was so considerate and attentive to them. I can tell she genuinely loves animals and I was at ease knowing my cats were in the best hands. I will certainly be booking her again and again! Thanks Vivian 💕”
About: I know what it’s like to be an anxious mom to a furbaby and wonder if your pet sitter will show up the way you need them to. I have had four dogs since the age of 12 and love them more than anything else! I also had 3 cats when I was younger :) I will do everything in my power to show your babies love and give them top rated care! I currently have open availability and pet sitting is my sole job. I am able to care for senior pets and provide pills as well. :) reach out with any questions! I just moved here from Chicago and right now I’m just babysitting so I haven’t a lot of flexibility and time to care for your baby! I do not offer services at my home at this time but look forward to working with your pets and providing them with the highest level of care and adhering to all routines
“Jade was so great with my dog! He has anxiety and special needs that only intensify in anxious situations (like being away from me). She was mindful of his usual routines in an effort to keep things calm for him. She also sent regular pictures and confirmation every time she gave his medicine, which helped me to relax while away. My house was also exactly as I left it - it looked like I never even left!”
About: I love dogs. I live an active lifestyle and love going for runs in the Hollywood hills up away from cars, however when it comes to my clients pups, I always follow instructions for what they prefer. I have experience with all sorts of pups and would love to have your pup in the pack. While we are at my place, I go outside every hour / two for pee breaks. Usually in the morning I will go to the hills or the park before it gets too hot, or in the evening. I have experience watching all sorts of dogs with a variety of personalities. I love having fun and making sure that the pups have a good time too. I know how lame it is to be stuck in one place all the time so we try to move as much as possible.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lakeland Village is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeland Village
Jocelyn has watched my animals on multiple occasions for several years and has always communicated to us almost daily, sent pics, and taken great care of them. She ensures my animals are given the love they are used to getting from us. We greatly appreciate her and the love she gives all of our animals past and present.
Marissa did a wonderful job taking care of my four furballs while I was away for 5 days. I felt at ease knowing they were with a responsible and reliable person who would take care of all their needs. I came home to an immaculate house and most importantly, happy pets.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lakeland Village walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lakeland Village maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Lakeland Village 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
