About: I've been a sitter throughout a majority of my life and have been exposed to all sorts of pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, even frogs! I spent a lot of my teenage years looking after my neighbors pets and my own. My parents were strict that if we were to have pets they were everyone's responsibility! I have definitely taken on that mentality throughout life, as every pet is precious and worth the love and effort. I'd love to be able to look after your fur-baby if given the opportunity—feel free to reach out! I'm currently starting my own art business, so my schedule is very open, I can work around whatever time you need me there for your pet!

Combined with my love for dogs and the outdoors, I am an excellent choice to be your dog walker. I am a dog owner myself. My dog Button and I go on walks daily. Even before I owned her I would often take my friends’ dogs for walks. I have experience with walking dogs of different sizes, breeds and energy levels. I will be well prepared with waste bags, treats and even toys. And above all that I will be a fun-loving friend to your dog. I am very flexible in my schedule.

My backyard is very safe and secure, has a double fence all around with a huge tree that provides shade all day long. Also, a large covered patio with plenty of space to run and play. Inside, I have a large tiled area that provides a safe, comfortable place for them to rest. Please reach out to me anytime and give Otis and I a chance to welcome your loved ones into our home. Don't forget to ask me for my promo code for first time Rover users, a $20 discount before booking. I’m currently working from home, so I’m happy to care for your four legged friends all 7 days a week and more, if need be. I’m home all day so therefore I can provide as many potty breaks as necessary. I can feed everyone separately usually twice a day, treats during the day as well. I always send a text with pics and info as to how the first 24 hrs went.

About: I grew up with dogs. I took care of them through every stage of life: puppies, adults, and seniors. I also currently own a cat, so I have personal experience caring for cats as well. I have a deep love for animals! I am a part-time college student, so working around schoolwork is my only thing besides being involved in ministry at church once or twice per week! While caring for pets in your home, I will strictly follow the regimen you provide! I have no issues assisting with training as well, if needed. I currently do not care for pets in my home!

About: I have more than thirty years experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve helped family and friends feel comfortable leaving their pets home while on vacation or in the hospital. I have a full time job M-F. While caring for your pet, I may be away for 9 hours during the day. The weekends are much more flexible. Your pet is most comfortable in their own environment. I believe your pet deserves love, play, and comfort while you’re away. That why my mission is simple: making tails happy!
“Uniqua did a great job caring for my Papillon, Marco. I feel she did everything that I requested of her. It is so comforting to know Marco is well cared for when I am away from home. I highly recommend her.”
About: I prefer the company of dogs over most people. I have a connection with all animals, but dogs are my favorite because they seem to respond to me in a way that I understand. I have 3 dachshund/poodle mix dogs that I cannot imagine living without. I am a homemaker with two young adult children, so my schedule is very flexible, but my time is valuable to me. Since my time is valued, it is important that I spend it in meaningful ways. I will take care of your family member in a way that is not only beneficial for the both of you, but is an extention of my values. I love to be in the presence of the kind and playful spirit that dogs have to offer.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
Jessica was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and made me feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. She kept me updated while I was away, and it was clear that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Coming home to two relaxed and happy pups gave me so much peace of mind. I truly appreciate the love and attention Jessica gave them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lakeside is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 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 4,416 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lakeside choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lakeside with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeside. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
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.
