About: ‼️I can only provide services in the Palmer/Wasilla area! My whole life my job at home was to care for the cats and dogs, and it was my favorite thing in the world. Now I have moved out, and I just want to continue caring for pets by providing services on Rover which is so perfect for me! I'm currently a cleaner for Janco Cleaning Company, 3-4 hours per night, and I provide services on Rover on the side with my whole day until dinner time reserved for pets! I live in an apartment with 2 adorable kitties, I am only able to house small dogs and cats in my apartment, as much as I love big dogs I have to control myself!

“DJ dropped in 4 days this week to let my foster dog out for a potty break while I was at work. He was prompt, responsive to messages, followed my directions and left great daily reports! I am especially appreciative of his patience with a dog who can be reluctant to go in his kennel. Highly recommend!”

About: Pets have been part of my life since I was born. Throughout my life, I’ve owned and cared for many cats and dogs, along with hamsters, parakeets, mice, and rabbits. My pet care experience comes from a lifetime of hands-on care, companionship, and love for animals. These experiences have given me a lifelong love of animals and an understanding of their daily care needs. I’m currently building my own home, so I spend much of my day working on the house. My schedule is somewhat flexible around early morning school drop-offs and early afternoon pickups. Early mornings and evenings are generally my best times for pet care drop-in visits, though I may be able to accommodate other times with advance notice. I offer drop-in pet care in your home, where your pets can stay in familiar, comfortable surroundings. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and any routines or special needs we discuss beforehand. I’ll be mindful of doors and gates to help keep your pets safe, and I’ll treat your home with respect. During visits, I can send photos and updates so you know how your pets are doing. I’m happy to meet you and your pets before booking to make sure we’re a good fit.

About: As a dog owner myself, I’ve had the joy of a furry companion by my side for many years. Additionally, I was a dog bather throughout college and have experience with an assortment of breeds. I enjoy connecting with pets and giving them the chance to get adequate exercise and socialization, especially in Alaskas dark months. I hope that we can find a good fit! I am currently working full time, so most walks and visits will be in the afternoons and evenings! Most weekends are fairly flexible. I do have a young child, so there are some limitations with certain availability. Safety is key and all pets deserve to feel comfortable in their own home without feeling like a stranger is infringing on their space. I will help gauge the unique needs for your individual pet and take your instructions as the owner to make them as at ease as possible.

About: Hello! My name is Jenn. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and have been fostering dogs locally since 2023. My family and I have pet-sat and fostered a wide range of pets; everything from kittens to cats, 8 week old puppies to senior dogs, dogs with little to no experience indoors to seasoned house pets. We currently have two cats, a dog, and chickens. I work from home, so I am able to spend most of the day with your furbaby. You can trust me to follow your rules and instructions carefully and fully. I also make it a priority to ensure pets get the exercise and stimulation they need. When taking care of other people’s animals, I send lots of photos and videos. I want you to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in my care. Please reach out if you have any questions! I work part time from home, meaning I am available to treat your pets like I treat my own. My pets are spoiled, but with foundational rules. For dogs - have a fenced-in yard for safe pottying. I have a friendly adult female dog - spayed, and two well-behaved cats. I have local trails available where I exercise my own dog. I typically have the dogs I sit sleep in a crate overnight, so I would love to know your dog's experience with crating. Also, since I have cats and chickens, I cannot accommodate a dog with a heavy prey-drive. For cats, I have an unused bedroom set up as a private suite, that my own pets do not have access to. This room has a window and plenty of cat-napping options. I live on a quiet street. I am available to give your cat as much attention as they desire.

About: I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them the way I would want someone to care for my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I take the time to get to know each animal so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away — not stressed or confused. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely attentive. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, maintaining routines, or giving extra reassurance to anxious pets, I treat every detail as important. Communication is a big priority for me. I provide updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I do this because I truly love animals — not as a side hustle, but as care with heart. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re family I offer personalized pet care in my home or yours, always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Because I maintain an open and flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent check-ins, and accommodate last-minute bookings, extended stays, and pets who need extra care. I prioritize reliability, communication, and calm, loving care—treating every pet as if they were my own. I offer personalized pet care in your home or mine, focusing on routines, comfort, and stress-free care. Every pet receives one-on-one attention, plenty of love, and consistent communication so you always feel confident while you’re away

About: I have a wide understanding of care for pets! I have cared for pets through military deployments, vacations, emergencies… I’m experienced with different breeds and proper ways to approach a new animal that is nervous or anxious. I currently homeschool my kids and work from home running my own party rental business, I have plenty of flexibility and time to help even on short notice. I have reliable transportation with space to cater to your dog and their supplies. I have a little over an acre of open landscaped yard for a dog to run and play. Our backyard is not fenced in so I would keep them on a leash unless advised by the owner that it’s safe to do otherwise. We have a wonderful neighborhood to go for walks in if you would like them to. We have space to safely and warmly kennel dogs inside our home at night and let them run and play during the day! I only leave the house for brief periods, so they wouldn’t be left alone for long, if at all. We have one small dog (min pin) who would be kept separate unless we are given permission to let them play! Our min pin is a nervous breed, but she grew up with a Labrador and German Shepard happily. She just needs to warm up.

About: I grew up in Alaska with a goldendoodle named Kinley and a tabby cat I rescued named Chance, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Now that I’m back home in Alaska after graduating college, I’ve continued fostering dogs and helping care for pets with different personalities and energy levels. Fostering has helped me become comfortable with shy dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets adjusting to new environments. I’m active, reliable, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is super flexible. I’m usually able to accommodate requests with a little advance notice. Send me a message and let's chat! Through fostering dogs and caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether that means getting enough exercise, sticking to their routine, or giving them extra patience and attention while their owners are away.

About: I am mostly experienced with cats, but I have been around dogs for years in care or for fun. Never had direct ownership of a dog. Willing to try it out! I am more than happy to watch over a pet overnight or during the day, including pet care, watering and feedings. I am also capable of walks. In my own personal care, I have raised or adopted several cats including doctors appointments, cleaning, etc. Of other clients pets I have taken care of more or less the same, all satisfied in their pets care.

Hailey was great, she picked up this job with only two days notice. She even came to meet us before the job so our pets would be familiar with her. My pets were so excited to meet her. Hailey was prompt and sent me photos of the visit. My dog was all smiles when we returned home and I felt so happy knowing he had a nice walk and attention while I was away. Hailey will be sitting for my pets again soon and I am very happy to have her come and stay with them.

Katie is such a treasure! She took incredibly good care of my pups, sharing pics and observations of them the whole time I was away. Even went above and beyond and made an extra visit when my flight home was delayed. So glad she’s joined us here in the Wood River Valley!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lakes is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 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 November 2026, there are 219 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakes. 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 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 Lakes. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
