“Audrey was so amazing with Bear! Very attentive and took such great care of him while we were away! I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative pet sitter! Looking forward to asking her to watch our pup again! 💕”
“Andrea is my go to sitter when I need help with my 2 pups when I'm not around. It's hard to find people you can trust so it's puts my mind at ease knowing Andrea will show up and love on them.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing with my cats while I was out of town! She went over and above and was communicative with me while I was gone. I’d recommend her to anyone! I’ll definitely be using her in the future.”
About: Hello! I’m a sitter in Lakeside offering loving, attentive care! I’ve been a cat and dog mom my entire life and a foster parent for dogs of all ages and sizes for over 5 years—from gentle giants to tiny pups. I’m passionate about daily walks, potty breaks, and providing love and care. If your dog needs medications, I’m experienced and comfortable administering them safely! Happy to do a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! Best, Angelina Darling I’m a student learning from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day! Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, I will always provide walks, playtime, meals (and medication as needed) making sure your furry friends feel safe and loved!
About: Hi my name is Ash! I currently don’t have a job so I’m available for all services at any time. I’ve been around different types of dogs my entire life. I love to keep dogs entertained and happy by playing with them, walking with them, letting them run around the house, feeding them yummy treats and food, and give lots of cuddles! I’m very good at keeping an eye on dogs when they are wearing a cone or if they are sick. I have experience on giving antibiotics to dogs. I usually let dogs out to go pee every 2-3 hours. I love all animals and am so excited to take care of your dog! I have an apartment but I live close to plenty of dog parks! My schedule is open I don’t work at a physical place right now so I have more than enough time to care for my dogs and yours! I have a nice spacious apartment your dog can run around in and I will always keep an eye on what they are doing. I always make sure there isn’t anything they could get into that would hurt them. Any mess that is made will also always be cleaned up.
About: I am not a professional dog sitter or walker but I do have a dog of my own as of 2021. One of the best decisions of my life. My little furball, Jayla. Many friends and family have dogs from small to big that’ll let me care for them as if they were one of my children. They are fur babies after all! Walking, playing, feedings, and bathroom time become a pawsitive routine in my care and I’m here to help when or wherever needed. I work a part-time schedule, which gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my day. I’m able to work around my job and other responsibilities while still providing reliable and attentive care. I’m happy to coordinate with clients to find times that work well for both of us. When it comes to walking your dogs, or dropping in on your cats, I always make sure to bring their leash, some treats if allowed, poop bags and to be SAFE, we will cross from other animals, children or adults. You have to be prepared! Exploring the routes is a great way to bond and keep them active! I will definitely know the signs of your furbaby wanting relax or be given space. If you have a set feeding schedule, you would like me use before or after walks I will provide that service.
About: When you want someone who does much more than the bare minimum, that’s where I come in. Pets can have a difficult time when you’re gone. They’re nervous about having someone else in the house and they miss you. Having someone there who truly cares about what your pets may need in order to have as much peace as possible until your home matters. Do they feel more comfortable with my hand coming from the side or the back when they’re pet? I’ll find out! Do they feel more comfortable with me in a certain line of site until they get to know me a bit? I’ll find out what that is! Their favorite toy? What makes them anxious? What makes them happy? I’ll find it! I bring a patient, calm and playful energy to bring as much comfort as I can. Pet care is my full time job right now! I have the availability I need so your pet isn’t lonely! It helps with bathroom needs and an overall homey environment. This is dependent on what each client and pets need. I’m versatile, and open to individual needs. I do more than take them to the bathroom and feed them. I like to make sure they feel loved and comforted and each pet has their own way that they experience that.
“Amber was absolutely awesome. My 2 Dobermans felt so comfortable with her, she gave me updates every time she was there feeding/walking them, also sent updated pictures of them. We are so grateful and happy to finally found someone to care for our pups while we are away. 10 ⭐️”
“Alexis was very kind and did an excellent job taking care of my kitties! She sent me the funniest pictures of them, too! I trust Alexis to care for my cats, and I would be delighted to book her in the future.”
About: Your dogs will be able to go to the dog park and given treats for good deeds. They'll be able to play with toys and have a constant water supply. I am open to washing and grooming the dog as well if you ask. They will get all my attention. Regarding to my schedule, I go to college everyday at 2pm and I arrive home at different times each day. I am completely available during the weekends. I have had experience before of dog sitting and the owner can vouch for me that I did a great job. I walked the dog, cleaned up their business, made sure the house was tidy, I grabbed their mail when they asked, and more. Your dog will be well taken care of.
About: I have about 10 years of house sitting experience. I am comfortable with all types of animal. From dogs and cats to turtles and chickens! I currently work in education on Monday-Friday 7:30-4pm. I am excited to do walks after work and snuggles in the evening. And lots of love and playing of the weekends. Safety is a top priority for me as well as updates. I love sending pictures of what we are up to and the fun we are having.
“Brianna was able to come on short notice to help with my pets. I loved how quickly she communicated her time schedules so we could coordinate the times. As well she picked up my plants that my cats knocked over. My house smelled and looked nice I will definitely book her again this time for a full stay.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in the home forever. I love taking care and giving them love. I can’t wait to take care of your animals and provide them with the best care without you needing to worry about anything. I also worked at a doggy daycare for a short while which helped me gain experience in dog care. Taking care of 60 dogs at once really whips you in to shape.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
Rubie did a wonderful job taking care of my boys while I was away. She made sure they were fed every day, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing with them so they stayed happy. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. I will absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!
Shelby and Dalton were amazing! They did an initial meet and great with our cat prior to the scheduled drop in visits. They were thorough during the visits and were very good sports when our cat was being feisty. They even brought out/in our trash bins when asked. Would definitely recommend.
This is the first time I used Rover. We were very last moment and Sabrina was awesome. I have 3 cats with one needing insulin twice daily. Everything went perfectly. She worked with us to time the medication and feeding schedule. She was able to get my 2 skittish kitties to play with her and not run and hide as they usually do. I would definitely recommend her and will try to rebook her in the future.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeside. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
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.
