House Sitting Lakeside

“Cecily was a phenomenal sitter! Great communication, sent photo and video updates and took very good care of my house while I was away. The pups were very happy in her care. I will definitely use her again next time!”

About: From the early age of 6, I have had 4 special pups. A husky, a pit bull, a razor back American bully, and 1 shits poo. My oldest was the Dude, a full bred pit bull who came with many allergies. I’ve had to administer many types of medications to the poor guy-oral and ear creams. Thankfully, my youngest, Titan, has not had too many health issues. I exercise him a lot and it’s kept him in really good shape. My family and I learned from the Dude that fresh made food makes a significant difference in our dogs health. So every night, I make Titan fresh food. Just graduating from high school has given me lots of free time. I can care for as many pets as all I do is workout, study languages, and read books. At my clients home, I spend my whole time with their dogs. I take them on frequent walks—if they are up to it we go on runs. Playtime is all the time. I want to keep the dog as happy as possible with belly rubs, outside playtime, and treats!

“Great experience! This was our first time using Rover and Robyn & Steven were extremely helpful asking us pertinent questions about our dogs, what needs we have and any special circumstances for each dog. I felt very comfortable working with them and enjoyed the experience. We were provided daily updates and photos/videos of the dogs. Both dogs were very relaxed and excited to see us when they came home. Robyn and Steven took care of the space and were very respectful. I will definitely work with them again!”

“Nick and Melissa are excellent sitters! They watched our dog and cat while we were gone for the holidays. They provided regular updates and pictures, great communication, and are fair on pricing. I highly recommend and we will use them again! 😊”

About: Hello. I am a lifelong dog owner and dog carer. I have owned a Brittany Spaniel, and a Shischon from puppy-stage through the end of their lives. Currently I care for a senior Lab and middle-aged German Shephard/Rotweiler mix, both belonging to my daughter who lives in Jacksonville with her husband and my 18-month old grand-son with another expected in November. I've been a Rover client and sitter off and on since 2018. I've not been active for almost 5 years during which time I've worked as a freelance researcher on almost a full-time basis. The demand for that work is shifting and I want to return to dog/house-sitting to supplement my income. I am comfortable walking, visiting and house-sitting small- and medium-size dogs, including senior dogs, and am experienced with giving medicine. I have a BS in Business Administration and 30+ years of work experience in the legal services industry. I am a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. I love to walk outside, grill, and sit beside a fire. I'm an SEC fan, so fall is my favorite time of year! I want to acknowledge the one negative client review regarding a client's senior dog. I was hired for drop-in visits . I let time get away from me for two visits. One of the things that Rover does well is notify dog owners know when their sitter/carer is onsite. The owner notified me when I did not arrive within a reasonable time of the scheduled time and I immediately went to the client site. The dog was fine but the owner was obviously alarmed and terminated the relationship. I take full responsibility for those lapses and they will not happen again. I ask for the opportunity to meet you and your pet and discuss if this is a good fit for us all. Kind regards, Suzanne I am a freelance researcher and work remotely from home. I have full schedule flexibility enabling me to meet your pets' daily schedule for feeding and walks. I am able to be present in my client's home throughout the day and night, available to your pet(s) as needed. I enjoy taking them for walk, playing with them and cuddling with them. I'm generally good with letting them sleep with me, depending on their size and temperament.

“Greta coordination and communication. She was great.”

“Kylie was a great sitter for our home & fur babies. She sent photos of them daily and answered promptly. We were looking for a permanent sitter for when we vacation and we found her!”

Alexandra S.

“Ryan was able to accommodate us last minute for two separate days that we had to be out of town for the whole day. He is responsive and will update you when he arrives and leaves.”

Chase C.

“Emily was incredible. I came home to happy dogs. And while away, she sent regular updates and took great care of them!”

About: Hi, I’m Haylie! Caring for pets has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just giving extra cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks easily fit into my routine, and I’m always close by to make sure they feel safe and cared for. Working from home allows me to provide reliable, consistent care and keep your pet’s day as happy and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets get the same love and care as if they were my own. I create a safe, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I always keep a close eye on them and give them lots of love, care, and companionship.

“Outstanding! Jennifer is friendly and professional. I was very comfortable leaving my pups in her care. Will definitely be working with her again. Highly recommend.”

About: I have experience with all types of animals from small to large! I don’t remember a time in my life where we did not own and care for animals! I have cared for horses, goats, chickens, rodents, cats, and dogs. I have experience with animals with specials needs as I have a dog that has seizures, a diabetic cat, and a rescue who is very timid with humans; so I have a lot of understanding and patience with all animals. I can administer insulin and give oral medication to both dogs and cats if required. I am open to meeting you and your pet ahead of any care so that you can meet me and feel comfortable with me watching your beloved pets! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. I currently work part time on the week days usually only 2-3 days a week and only between the hours of 8-5. My days rotate every other week In your home I can do any routine with your pet that you normally do. Scheduling feeding times, potty breaks, play time in the yard, medications, or anything else they may require. In my home I do have two dogs who love every dog they meet, and a cat who keeps to himself most of the time but does fine with other pets. They have all been around plenty of other animals. We do have a very well fenced back yard. Unfortunately at the moment I will probably not be taking in our home care as we our doing renovations so our house is a bit of a mess for guests.

I’m currently home full-time, so your pet will get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. -I live in a house with a yard (unfenced), so I provide supervised outdoor time and regular walks for plenty of exercise and play.

My playful husky mix keeps active dogs entertained, while my laid-back cat prefers quiet naps. I make sure every pet gets the right balance of exercise, attention, and rest. For safety and comfort, I recommend pets be up to date on flea prevention.

“Katie is so awesome! She takes such great care of our pup and the house. Bullet loves her!! The communication is great! I don’t ever feel worried when Katie is caring for Bullet!”

“Darci is one of a kind — truly a top-notch sitter. My kitties enjoyed her company, and I’m sure they’ll miss her. We are so glad we found her on Rover. She followed directions perfectly and didn’t need to ask any questions. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were in such capable and caring hands.”

Cindy G.

“Sam was absolutely perfect with our pets and our home. Everyone was happy when we got back and Sam even left a light on for us as we were returning after dark. Highly recommend him to take care of your pets and home. He’s such a calm presence that even our high strung Chinese Crested took to him in no time.”

About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 and have been babysitting my sister's 3 dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I'm experienced in giving extra attention to one of her dogs that needs ointments for his allergies and bathing them when needed. Additionally, I'm comfortable handling various pet care tasks, from feeding and walking to playing and administering medications. My dedication to ensuring pets feel loved and well-cared-for sets me apart. I have three cats and one bunny I play with them 3-4 times a day before I go to work and after and feed them on a schedule every 2 days I administer an ointment medicine onto one of my cats eyes to help with his feline agenesis seeing and caring for them is my favorite part of the day I focus on feeding, exercise, and providing attention. I also handle any medication and grooming needs, making sure they feel safe and loved in their environment.

“Super awesome service provided for such an extended watch and worked with our scheduling changes. House was immaculate upon return and our dogs absolutely loved them! Not a single complaint at all and we felt at peace being out of town knowing they were being taken care of properly. Thank you again, and will continue to use your service as long as possible.”

“Stephanie was amazing! This was our first time leaving the pups for a week (one is only 5 months old and full of energy). She took excellent care of our babies while we were away. She sent us photos and videos of the pups with updates. She went above and beyond. Even gave my pup a bath before we got home. It’s not easy leaving your pups but we were at ease knowing they were being so well taken care of while we were away. So grateful we found her! Highly recommend!! Would love to have her watch our pups again!”
