“Jill did an excellent job with my dog Nugget. She spent a lot of time with him and fed him and walked him often. She sent pictures and messages to let me know how he was doing. I am so glad Nugget was having fun with Jill while I was away for a convention. Thank you Jill for all of your help.”
“This is the third time I’ve used Isabella and her sister Great experience- they were on time very dog loving and respectful of our home and Teddy Bear !! We intend to use Isabella over and over again It’s great to have a trusted sitter ! Thanks, Dave”
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and wonderful with my dogs. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Jayla to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family members!”
“Chris is Very communicative and patient with timid dogs. This was the first time I had pet sitting at my house and was nervous about the entire process his communication and willingness to follow the directions I provided really made it easy to trust him in my home and with my dogs. I have a Doberman and a Yorkie, the Doberman is still very new to me as he is a recent rescue and Christ provided him the space he needed to naturally warm up to Chris. I recommend and would reschedule.”
“Giselle was the best, she stayed at my place for a day/night and it went amazing. She sent lots of pictures of my dog and followed all the instructions I left for her. Would highly recommend!”
“This was our second time using Emma and hope she will be available for all of our future trips. Our Chihuahuas feel comfortable with her and they were snuggling with her. She takes real good care of them and this time had to give medications to one and she made sure she communicated about the times medication were given and when they were fed etc. She left our house clean and even washed the bedsheets from the guest bed. Which was more than expected.”
“This is the first time we used a dog sitter, but definitely not the last! Meredith was amazing! She took such good care of our dog, i think Oreo was disappointed when we returned! Would 100% recommend!”
About: I've been a lifelong animal lover and spent 17 wonderful years caring for my Shih Tzu–Poodle mix. Growing up with a dog taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've gained experience looking after neighbors' dogs and cats for extended periods of time, as well as providing pet-sitting services through Rover. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their furry family members are in good hands, and I always strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own dog. I'm currently a college student, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks, playtime, and quality time with pets into my routine comes naturally. With a little advance notice, I can usually accommodate different schedules and make sure your pets receive the time and attention they deserve. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big responsibility. My priority is making sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know every animal has its own personality, so I take the time to understand their individual needs and comfort levels. I'm also respectful of your home and happy to provide updates and photos while you're away, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pets are being well cared for.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years and have hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I also raised a litter of puppies from birth through 8–9 weeks, handling feeding, cleaning, socialization, playtime, and their daily routines. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and giving each dog plenty of attention and affection. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my current routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule. I take every pet’s safety and comfort seriously and will always follow the care instructions provided by their owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space while keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, and I’ll provide updates so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of many friends and neighbors pets, walking, feeding and playing with them. I’ve been doing this for a few years, but this past year I’ve done it more often. I’m currently working part time on the weekends, so I’ll have plenty of time during the week to drop in and take care of your pups! Well I just plan on having fun and taking them on walks so whatever their preferences are i’ll make sure to take that into account when walking and playing.
“Ashley is truly amazing with Ares! She not only arrives on time, but immediately jumps into caring for him — taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first in the morning, play time, and keeps up with his scheduled routine. She also sends me multiple videos and photos throughout the day with important updates. We absolutely love having her watch our puppy!🩵”
About: I’ve taken care of and walked dogs since 2019! At the time I was living on base, so it was primarily for base population! I am a dog auntie to my best friend’s pup who i watch and play with whenever she is away. I am looking forward to meeting your pupper!! I’m currently in between jobs at the moment, so I’m fairly flexible! When I am back to work I am typically available randomly throughout the week, but I’m sure we can work something out! I can easily crate pups if needed, I will do treat rewarding (if that is how the client prefers), plenty of exercise/play time and ensure bathroom breaks are taken within a timely manner!
“We had a wonderful experience with Haley as our dog sitter. From the moment we reached out, she was incredibly responsive and attentive. Throughout Chip's stay with her, she kept us updated with plenty of pictures and messages, which really put our minds at ease. One thing that really stood out to us was how well Haley understood Chip's special needs. Chip can be reactive when he gets stressed, but Haley handled him with such care and understanding. It was clear that her background as a zookeeper provided her with the skills to respect Chip's boundaries. We couldn't be happier with the care Haley provided for Chip, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Haley, for taking such great care of our boy!”
“Sarah was incredible with our 2 girls, Lucy & Ceviche. I am extremely particular about who watches my dogs, and I am happy to say that I would trust Sarah to watch mine any time. Strongly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeshore
We just got home and I can tell my pets were well loved and cared for because they are calm and happy. Bethany was awesome at sending updates. I got multiple pictures throughout our vacation and little notes on how my furbabies were doing. She followed through with all instructions and checked in before leaving when the stay was complete. We would book with her again in a heartbeat.
Tricia was absolutely top-notch! She was so attentive and caring with all of our babies, and the frequent photo updates made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She even offered to come back and let the dogs out if our flight was delayed. We’re so grateful for her and would happily trust her with our pets again!
Alyssa and Lyndon were so great with our dog Otto! They spent so much time with him, kept him to his regular schedule, and made sure he got his normal long walks! Also kept us super updated with lots of pictures and videos along the way, which we loved!! Super super nice and definitely dog lovers, would definitely book again!
As always, when I leave Pretty Kitty in Sami’s care I have complete peace of mind while I’m away. Sami sends me pictures and tells me of the funny antics they experience together. Sami also is very respectful of my house and tends to the kitty’s daily routines, including giving meds as prescribed. I highly recommend Sami as a very professional, compassionate pet sitter.
Sarah stayed with my dog for 11 days in my home. She is a lovely person and a wonderful caretaker!. My dog was happy and serene when I got home and my house was immaculate. I hope Sarah is available the next time I go away - in fact, I may plan my travel around her availability!
Crystal was an absolutely wonderful housesitter and dogsitter! She took great care of our senior dog and our home, and was also great about communicating and providing updates (and we loved that she sent plenty of cute photos and videos too). We highly recommend her!
We hired Madie for a trip that another person canceled on us last minute. We needed a house/pet sitter. It was very stressful but Madie came in, did a great job with our pets and was very respectful to our home. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!! She gave us updates and pictures multiple times per day.
Mary is fantastic! It’s the 2nd time we book her to sit our dogs and we’ve had a wonderful experience both times. She’s proactive and if she thinks there’s anything she can do to better handle our dogs, she will ask questions and make it happen. She loves our babies and we love her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lakeshore is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $80 per night. 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.

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 Lakeshore 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 Lakeshore 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 Lakeshore 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeshore. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
