About: I have had pets all my life. I currently have my dog Mr.Darcy (2 years old) who I'm actively training and my lovely cat Lucifur. I live with conures and I also frequently watch my sisters miniature zoo which includes dogs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, bugs, ducks & chickens. & I enjoy saving stray animals whenever I get the chance I'm an artist who's new to Denver looking to care for critters most of my time. High maintenance / energetic dogs are preferred but I truly love all animals. It's extremely important to me to listen when pets communicate. Dog language and behavior is something I spend most of my time researching just for fun.
“Vera was exactly what I needed with drop-in visits for my two dogs. She followed my instructions, was perfectly on time all of the days (multiple visits a day), and promptly sent communication each visit. She even won over my nervous older dog’s approval. Relieved to have found a pet sitter that I am comfortable with and trusting of in my home, with my dogs.”
“Terri was wonderful with my cat, Ziggy! She was very attentive and kept me updated with photos and updates every visit. I came home to a happy, and relaxed kitty! You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I will absolutely book Terri again and highly recommend her.”
“Lindsay took great care of my cat Kinsley. She followed all instructions and sent me photos and updates after every visit. Kinsley warmed up to Lindsay right away, she got lots of pets and treats. It was clear that my little kitty was very comfortable around her. I would absolutely have Lindsay watch her again.”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something that truly brings me joy! I raised my own dog from the time she was just 4 months old, and we shared many wonderful years together before I sadly had to say goodbye to her last year. She taught me so much about the love, patience, and commitment that go into caring for a dog, and she will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️ Throughout our time together, I taught her all kinds of tricks and commands, including sit, down, turn around, speak, roll over, up, and stay, along with many others! I love spending time with dogs, keeping them engaged, and helping them learn through positive reinforcement, patience, and encouragement. These days, I enjoy helping friends care for their dogs while they're out of town. Whether it's keeping them company, playing with them, maintaining their routines, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I'm always happy to have some furry friends around! I also have experience caring for a dog with additional medical needs. During my dog's last year, she developed Cushing's disease, which taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and understanding when a dog needs extra care and support. This experience has given me a special appreciation for senior dogs and dogs who may need a little extra help or a gentler approach. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, still learning their manners, getting older, or needs extra attention, I'll do my best to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you're away. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. 🐶💕 I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to fit pet care into my day. I love having furry companions around while I work and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I'll do my best to accommodate your pet's routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! ❤️ I follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
“Lara helps me out greatly by letting out my pup during my long shifts. She administered meds and filled her kong to keep her occupied. Kiwi enjoys her afternoon breaks!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all throughout high school and college! During college I’d walk and dog sit various breeds. I also love cats too :) My significant other and I work from home full time! We have a very flexible schedule and will be willing to work with you to care for your pet. I currently live in a house with a spacious fenced in backyard. When I’ve cared for pets at my house I’ll let them play in the backyard and or take them for a walk around our neighborhood lake.
About: I decided long ago I'll never live without a dog in my life. I'll treat your dogs as my own while they are in my care. Sadly, my two big dogs passed away this past year and we miss them terribly. I take special care of senior dogs, giving them extra love. I've also been teaching those close to me how to train dogs. There's no reason to gate keep that knowledge. So not only can I train your dogs, but I can also teach you everything I know. We begin our day with cuddles and stretches. I work from home and enjoy a half acre, fenced in back yard in Lakewood. We walk the neighborhood, as well as Crown Hill and Sloans Lake. I have a small home with a huge yard. My little dog lost her two big brothers this past year and we're looking forward to hosting your dog/s to come play and cuddle. She's a typical little dog who barks at you ~~ then cuddles you.
“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cats! She was communicative throughout the stay, followed all of my care instructions, and I felt confident that my cats were well taken care of while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”
“Madison was super communicative and flexible and arrived on time. I have nothing but a glowing recommendation. She was responsible with keys and “tidying” up our kitty’s space, litter box and all. 👍👍👍”
About: I can care for all size dog and cat breeds. I am able to advise on training, socializing, medicating, and any other husbandry issues with numerous types of pets. I am retired, but I am looking for positions that are more aligned with my passions. Until I find that job, I am available during the day and overnight for long stays or short play/potty visits at your house. Your pets' care and safety will be my main priority while staying at your home. That encompasses your home as well. I can feed/measure out diets, clean up after, medicate (oral and injection), comb/brush, walk (all sizes), transport, enrich, crate (if required), and work on training priorities while you're away. I only use positive reinforcement training.
“Rachel was awesome! Very flexible during a long trip of ours, very communicative, and did so well with one of our animals who’s not the easiest to take care of. Would recommend Rachel to anyone! Thank you!!”
“Christina will now and always be our go-to, we needed somebody to feed our cats while we were away and the ease of explaining the setup, having the cats meet her, and overall experience were 10/10. Thank you Christina!”
“Harley was great with my two cats. Even the more shy one of the two felt comfortable to come out of hiding and hang out while I was away. I would feel very comfortable having Harley take care of them again in the future!”

Melissa is an absolute gem! She is so kind, communicative, and reliable. Most importantly, she was so sweet and caring with my cat. She’s incredibly thoughtful with her notes, pictures, and videos with each visit. I feel so grateful to have found a sitter like her and will definitely be reaching out to her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lakeside is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $39 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 13,677 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakeside. 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 Lakeside. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
