About: Hi! My name is Mariana. I’m a college student, and I’ve always loved dogs. Although I didn’t grow up with one, that only made me appreciate them even more. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities through pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, going on walks, providing playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, understanding that they may require extra patience, slower-paced walks, medication reminders, or additional attention to their comfort and routines. In addition, I have experience caring for brachycephalic breeds, such as French Bulldogs, and understand the extra precautions they may need, especially in hot weather and during exercise. My goal is to provide every pet with loving, reliable, and attentive care while giving owners peace of mind. I’m currently taking summer classes and they’re both online so I have a very flexible schedule for any pet care over the summer. I care for pets in my clients home by staying attentive and professional while also providing a level of care and affection. I also have respect for my clients home and their belongings.

About: I've cared for animals my entire life, from their earliest days through their senior years and end-of-life care. My experience spans a variety of pets, including fish, birds, reptiles, cats, and dogs. I'm new to Rover, but not to pet care! As someone who uses pet care services myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and communicative. I treat every pet with patience and care, follow their routines, and provide updates to give you peace of mind while you're away. Your pets' comfort and your trust are my priorities! I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work with you in order to find the schedule that works best for you and your pets. Your pets' safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain their routines, and make sure doors, gates, and their surroundings are secure. I treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping things tidy and following your household rules. I also believe in clear communication and regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

About: Hi! My name is Jada and I love caring for animals! Over 20 years experience, I’ve taken care of many family and friend’s little loved ones while they’re away. I’m experienced with giving medication, health conditions, specific diets and needs. I know the stress and worry you may feel when it comes to needing an extra set of hands to care for your animals, and finding the right fit! I would love to ease your mind and dedicate my time and effort to meet your pets’ needs! I look forward to helping you! Any questions please message me, thank you! I work varying hours during the week/weekends, so I work around those hours on here 🙂 I will update my schedule as often as I can for availability! I have an 11 year old dachshund mix named Boat. He was diagnosed with a heart condition a few years ago and has since required a special diet and activity limitations. I have a fenced in yard he goes out in and do 1-3 daily walks depending on his activity level and temperature outside. DOGS and CATS! I’m able to walk, play, pet, pet sit, feed, check in on, give medication, clean and replace potty pads or litter boxes, brush, bathe- whatever works best for you and your pets needs!

Without a doubt the best sitter we have ever had. When your skittish kitty cannot get enough rubs from day 1 it is clear that your sitter is an animal lover. Bethany's daily pictures spoke louder than words showing our 2 kitty's enjoying Bethany's rubs with her lying on the floor next to them. Our kitties are older with gastric issues and accompanied vomits, but Bethany assured we come home to a spotless home. We highly recommend Bethany to take care of your animal friend/s The only issue we foresee is that your pet/s might be sad when you return home and Bethany leaves.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Jacob! I lucked out, as he was the first sitter I contacted. He took such great care of my Archie boy. He made sure he knew all of Archie’s needs in advance, and I felt such peace knowing Archie was in such good hands. I recommend Jacob ♾️/10!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lakeshore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lakeshore is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $31 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 7,507 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakeshore. 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 Lakeshore. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
