“Brandi is wonderful - our dogs are a lil needy - one is high strung & constantly jumping, running & needing lots of attention & the other just had knee surgery so he has to be leash walked 4-6 times a day for rehab & potty breaks &&& both dogs take multiple meds several times a day - needless to say there is a serious chart to follow &&& Brandi never missed a beat. We feel very comfortable w Brandi in our home & caring for our beasts :-)”
About: When I was younger we had 3 dogs, they were my best girls! Over the years we had rescued 8 cats, one of our cats may have some autism but she is so gentle and just needed some love. The trick is to let them come to you so they see you as a safe space! I currently work part-time but I am not working as much this summer, I may have a few softball lessons since I play college softball. My morning and afternoons are mainly free, in the afternoon is when I workout but I am very flexible! We used to have a fenced in area in our backyard for our dogs and a pool deck (no pool) but had to tear down our deck and now we have a beautiful grassy green area with lots of plants! Our home inside is very pet friendly we have cat and dog toys as well as cat and dog food/treats!

“Cory did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our dogs, cat and other animals! He was attentive to them and the dogs really loved him! So grateful for his care of our pets and home.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 6 years of hands-on pet sitting experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m also a proud dog mom to my three babies: Koda (Standard Goldendoodle), Bentley (Mini Goldendoodle), and Roxy (Mini Aussie), so caring for dogs is truly part of my everyday life. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I’m experienced with maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, handling high-energy dogs, and making anxious pets feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important communication and trust are, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to create a fun, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away! 🐶✨ Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m home the majority of the day. I typically work out in the mornings, which allows me to dedicate the rest of my day to giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. I occasionally go to dinner with family or friends, but overall I have a very flexible schedule and enjoy making pets a priority in my day-to-day life. I care for every pet as if they were my own by creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, exercise, and a comfortable space to relax. I’m very mindful of maintaining their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable by keeping their routine as consistent as possible while also respecting and caring for the home. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and am comfortable with a wide variety of pets. I understand their needs, behaviors, and routines, and provide attentive, loving care to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I make time each day for feeding, cleaning, playtime, exercise, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being around animals and am committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and comfortable while they’re in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my clients’ homes, I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they receive safe, reliable, and loving care while their owners are away.
About: With a lifetime of experience growing up with dogs, including a Dutch Shepard named Rita whom I taught tricks, I am comfortable with all types of animals. In fact, my dad was a dog trainer, which provided me with additional insight into proper pet care techniques. I’m fully free after work to spend all the attention on your special friends. I will make them my priority in all my free times. Able to follow your instructions to the order.The more information you have to share the better! I want you to leave feeling safe and secure!
About: I have life long years of experience with dog care :) I love all dogs as they were my own and am willing to give whatever extra care they need ! I have a free schedule on weeknights and weekends. Mon-Fridays. I can service through drop-ins, walks or one-night stays if needed...I can do weekends for a small extra fee Currently I cannot board! I am open to house sitting weekends or weeknight stays. I am available for frequent drop-ins as needed. I am very respectful of my client's spaces and will leave it exactly how I found it. I'll even gladly take the trash out :)
“Absolutely amazed by Alexis and how well she did. Very professional and had no problem watching our house even with some of the extra tasks asked of her. Ive had sitters in the past but never have I come home to house that felt cleaner than when I left. I appreciated the daily updates and behavioral observations. 10/10 will use her again”
About: Ive been raising dogs since I was a child. More pitbulls than any. I used to rescue pitbull dogs after they were injured due to fights, abuse etc. Ive been known to turn super aggressive pits into lap dogs. And I have 3 of my own now. I love dogs more than humans and eventually want to own my kennels and training- boarding and supply business soon. I can work anytime needed. Im not working an actual job everyday so can use all the hours I can get. Thanks so much for allowing me to care for your babies. I can watch your babies in your home anytime. I can take them for walks and help teach basic commands and tricks. I also know how to groom and can provide a ride to vet/ groomer, etc.
About: I’ve worked as a kennel tech/bather Ive cleaned kennel feeding and providing water for dogs and cats I have experience walking dogs of all sizes from puppies to Great Danes I’ve medicated clients and also bathe and done nail trims I’ve handled cats too with bathing and giving meds to cleaning out litter boxes. I work M-F 7-5:30. I can come before or after work for drop ins, I can also stop by on my lunch which is 12-1 if your home is near my clinic I work at. I go home every day on my lunch to let my pets out for potty breaks I can do it for your pets too. I have a fenced back yard and 3 fixed dogs. I also have 3 cats as well all are neutered. My pets are kenneled when I leave, but your fur baby is free to roam around my home, and if you prefer your fur baby to be kenneled if no one is home at the time that’s an option i can do as well
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different animals! I’m a vet tech, and in vet school! I can give walks, give medications, or just come play with your pups! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my toddler! I am available pretty much all day every day! I would love to come meet your sweet babies! I care for your animals just as they were my own! I give daily updates with pictures, and love on your animals to keep them content while your gone
“Here’s a thoughtful review you can use: We couldn’t be happier with the care Chelbi provided for our four dogs while we were away overnight. Taking care of one dog can be a lot, but managing four and doing it so seamlessly speaks volumes about her patience, dedication, and love for animals. She kept us updated, followed all our instructions, and gave each dog the attention they needed. We came home to happy, relaxed pups, and our house was in perfect condition. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring to look after your pets, Chelbi is absolutely the one to trust. Highly recommend! Let me know if you’d like to personalize it further!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lakeport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lakeport on Rover is $56.88 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 135 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lakeport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Lakeport 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 Lakeport 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.
Tip: 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 Lakeport 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 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.

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.
