About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have been a dog mom to three amazing dogs. Sadly, one of my babies passed away, and I currently have two dogs that I care for every day. Having my own dogs has taught me how much love, patience, attention, and responsibility goes into caring for them. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and everyday routines, as well as simply making sure they feel safe and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I’ll always care for yours with the same love and attention I give my own. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own two dogs every day. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾❤️

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
We are so pleased with how well Taylor & Andrew took care of our dog for the weekend! We have never left our dog with anyone but family overnight so we were a bit nervous. Taylor & Andrew had us over for a meet and greet before our dog’s stay with them, which was so helpful! Our dog was comfortable with them and it was such a relief when we dropped her off and she was excited to get out and go see them! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our sweet girl! Price is great, communication is great! Home/yard was wonderful for the dogs to play outside.
I had a wonderful Rover experience with Jonathan. I have a three year old GSP with a ton of energy and he had an amazing stay with Jonathan and his family. The yard gave him ample room to play and run as well as the other dogs to socialize with. My pup came back happy and tired! Jonathan sent me multiple videos and photos throughout the stay and treated my pup like one of his own, which gave me peace of mind. Definitely will book Jonathan again in the future.
Barbra and her girls wonderful! This was our dog's first time staying overnight with them and they were so patient and understanding while he warmed up to staying in a new place. They made him feel welcome and gave him lots of love and attention. Thank you, Barbra!
Ashley was absolutely amazing with my 6-year-old German Shepherd, Hobbs! From the moment I dropped him off, she was communicative, thoughtful, and kept me updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages that gave me complete peace of mind. She even took the time to give him a really good brushing, and when I picked him up he looked fantastic and genuinely happy. It’s clear that Ashley and her family welcomed Hobbs like one of their own, and I’m incredibly grateful for the love and care they showed him. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter. Thank you, Ashley, and thank you to your family for making Hobbs feel so at home—we’ll definitely be back!
Bianca and her family are amazing!!! So great that I almost didn’t want to write this so I could gate-keep them!! I had to leave my guy to go out of state for a wedding and I’m usually a mess about it but I felt completely relaxed and comfortable this time. Bianca communicated well and I could tell how much they were loving on him. It allowed me to fully enjoy my trip which was priceless. He will be back, he was so comfortable with them. Such a great experience!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Lakeside can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lakeside home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lakeside.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lakeside sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
