“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Danielle is absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly reliable, communicative, flexible, and genuinely cares about my dogs. I travel frequently for work, and having someone I completely trust to care for them while I’m away gives me so much peace of mind. She always keeps me updated, is wonderful about working with my travel schedule, and I never have to worry about how they’re doing when they’re with her. One of my dogs is older and the other has some additional care needs, and Danielle is so patient and attentive with both of them. It means so much to know they’re being cared for by someone who treats them like her own. I’m incredibly grateful I found her and would recommend her without hesitation! ❤️🐾”

“Lilli and Zachary were wonderfully responsible care takers for our dog and home. Lilli is a prompt, kind, and excellent communicator. Our meet and greet went well, and I could immediately sense we could trust this nice young couple. They provided wonderful care for our 10 year old dog who had never been left alone before (we always had other dogs and in-home overnight care). Initially our dog was a bit shy, according to Lilli, but she ultimately warmed to them and they became fast friends. Lilli’s reports were detailed complete with pictures. I would highly recommend Lilli and Zachary!”

“I was really nervous leaving my 9 month month old kitty and 18 year old cat at home for 5 days while i was gone, but Rachel was such a wonderful sitter, and provided me with wonderful photos and thoughtful, detailed updates while i was gone that really put my mind at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Rachel really went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well taken care of, played with and happy. She even brought a few toys and treats for them to play with! And my 18 year old cat needed a topical medicine in her ear each day, which Rachel applied to her no problem… meaning my cat really trusts her. I almost think my cats were a little disappointed to see me instead of Rachel opening the door when i got home yesterday haha! Thanks so much Rachel - we will absolutely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!! I highly recommend her :)”

About: I have experience with all ages and temperaments of dogs and cats. I have cared for senior pets and enjoy making sure all of their needs are met. I am currently working part-time and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I have a car and can be where I am needed on short notice. I really enjoy getting to meet new cats and dogs and getting to know their personalities. I make sure all of their needs are met and treat them like I would my own pets.

About: I’ve had a lifelong love of animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve helped neighbors and families care for their pets while they were away or at work, providing dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, bathing, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also spent a year living and working on a farm, where I cared for a variety of animals, including horses, cows, dogs, and cats. Feeding, cleaning, and looking after multiple animals taught me to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. In addition to everyday pet care, I’m comfortable administering medications on a schedule, preparing special meals, and caring for animals that need extra attention. I’ve also helped foster cats, which has given me even more experience supporting animals as they adjust to new environments. I understand that pets are family, and I take caring for someone else’s animals seriously. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to have an extremely flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the love, care, and attention they deserve! I’m available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, early evenings, and Saturdays. Since I’m home most of the day, I can easily accommodate your pet’s usual routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra love and companionship. Your pets will always be a priority! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and secure. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure to keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they can feel confident their furry family members are in great hands!

About: Some dogs need more than a sitter—they need someone who understands their fire. I specialize in caring for the bold, the stubborn, and the wonderfully rebellious (likely referred to as reactive) pups that others often turn away. With a training style rooted in positive reinforcement (yes, plenty of treats), I help even the toughest personalities feel safe, understood, and engaged. I avoid labeling dogs as “reactive,” even though it’s become the norm—I prefer positive terms like high‑drive that honor their energy and potential. From high‑drive Malinois and German Shepherds to clever Australian Shepherds, spirited Corgis, and the gentle giants like Mastiffs and Cane Corsos, these dogs aren’t just clients—they’re my best friends. Here, every dog gets the patience they deserve, the structure they crave, and a companion who truly gets them. Pet care is woven into my everyday life. I work part‑time in a dog kennel, so caring for dogs isn’t just a job—it’s truly my passion. I dedicate three full days each week to dog sitting, and I’m also available most weekday evenings. Spending my time with dogs, especially the rebellious and high‑drive ones, is simply part of who I am. When I care for pets, the dog’s needs always come first. I follow their routine, provide structure, and make sure they feel safe, understood, and engaged. I also take plenty of photos and videos of our playtime and daily activities, sharing them with the dog parents so they can relax and enjoy their time away knowing their pup is happy and well cared for.

About: I have worked professionally in the dog care industry for 3 years as a Doggy Daycare Attendant and Professional Dog Bather. During that time, I have cultivated skills that include puppy and senior canine care, administering topical and oral medications, and assisting physically disabled pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to tailor my care to the specific requirements a pet parent has described. I am available 9 am-6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, every week for drop-in visits, walks, and playtimes. My schedule will be updated if and when my responsibilities change. I am happy to follow specific instructions in your home and on your property when taking care of your pet. Please let me know if you'd like shoes removed at the door, rooms to remain unaccessed, where you would like pets kept once I leave the premises, and any other important details about your home and pet.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lakemoor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lakemoor is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 3,028 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakemoor. 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.

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 .

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 , 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 Lakemoor. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
