“Taylor did a great job of keeping us updated while checking in on our pups. We have a couple of nervous nellys & they loved her. We enjoyed getting so many pictures & the detailed updates.”
About: I’d genuinely rather be surrounded by dogs than by people. I more than enjoy being around animals and caring for them has always been a love of mine. I personally haven’t had a dog of my own for a few years and it’s rather sad not to have a pet around to take on adventures, enjoy hikes and eat all of the food you drop on the floor.I have dog sat/house sat for various families throughout the years and I enjoyed every part of it. I would love to continue dog sitting and walking pups. I can’t wait to get to know your pets and figure out what works best for the both of you so that your pet is as happy as can be ! I do work from home a few times a week and I have a somewhat flexible schedule at work and for sure I am available after work! I think it is very important that the pets I’m looking after are able to stick to their routine and how things they would normally have when they are with their parents and I would love to know their routines and make sure that they have just as much playtime or walking time as they would normally have.

About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs since childhood and am currently the proud owner of a lovable Lab mix. I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about providing the highest quality care for every pet. I treat each dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m available during mornings and evenings on average two weekdays per week, and I have more flexible availability throughout the day on weekends. This allows me to provide quality drop-ins and walks with plenty of attention and care for each pet. I provide pet care services in my clients’ homes to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Care includes feeding and refreshing water, administering medications as needed, engaging playtime and cuddles, and attentive, engaging walks tailored to each pet’s needs and energy level. I always prioritize safety, routine, and personalized care for every pet.
“Casey was wonderful! What should have been a simple few days of drop-in visits turned out to be chaos. But, with all the problems on our end, he handled everything admirably- and with a calm that put us all at ease. I can't thank him enough!”
About: Reliable, diligent, punctual, strong, and responsible are all words my employers have used to describe me.

“This is the 4th time that Jennifer has taken care of my sweet kitty, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing so. My kitty is super shy and has major separation anxiety. It took some time and a lot of patience, but Jennifer was able to break through that barrier and now my sweet little girl comes out to great her when she comes! I know I can rely on Jennifer to follow instructions and fulfill her promises with integrity. She even leaves little toys and approved treats out before she leaves. I have so much less anxiety when I travel now because I know my sweet girl is getting the interaction she needs while I’m gone (and on her terms). Thank you Jennifer, you are a true blessing!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We truly appreciate her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter!”
“Awesome!!! My cats really felt at ease with Lyndsey because I did not get meow yelled at when I returned, just got the “oh you are back look”. Thank you for doing such a great job.”

About: I have been handling dogs for about 9 years now. I currently offer In-Home dog grooming where I bring the salon to the comfort of your home. I work for myself so my schedule can be pretty flexible. Most grooming appointments are scheduled between 10:30am to 5pm. I will accommodate walk requests as best as possible. If walk requests are after 7pm (after dark) I may have a Buddy along to accompany me during the walk for safety but I will always inform my client prior to accepting requests. I have a lot of senior doggos so I am very attentive and report anything out of the ordinary in regards to their behavior.
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!
“Monica is awesome. Very thorough and knowledgeable about dogs and how to take care of them I'm fairly new with the Rover app, I felt very comfortable with her to take care of my dog. She rocks!!”
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! Whatever is your routine for your pet and household rules are, I will do everything in my power to uphold it! If you want walks, outdoor time, play time I am happy to accommodate.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs (big and small) my whole life. All of my animals are trained by myself and my family (very well, if I do say so myself) and I also have experience caring for dogs ranging from 1 month to at least 15 years. I have experience with dogs of every size, behavior style, and training level and have proven apt in handling anything and everything when it comes to mine and other dogs. When caring for your dogs, I will provide them the benefits of a stress free environment, space to run and play, as well as structured and monitored socialization with my own animals (at both you and your dog's comfort, of course). I will provide your dogs with the comfort of their own living space with as little interruption to their daily routine as possible. I also provide constant contact as you so wish and will provide daily updates for you about your animals, as well as answering any questions you have about myself or my experience. I have also attended an animal care/first aid class and have ample knowledge to provide first aid to most animals. Hope you choose me to care for your pets! I am currently unemployed and so all my times is for your babies! I can adhere closely with their set schedules and work as much as necessary to not jar their daily routines. My time is theirs and yours. I have a fenced in back and front yard, with a gate separation between the two for ample security. When sitting in your home, I will ensure that I adhere to their known schedule in order to provide as easy of a week as possible for them. I will also keep you updated throughout their time with me and will be available at any time to call or text so that you can remain aware of your animals I will do my utmost to ensure that you are aware of my weekly schedule (whatever that may look like) before you leave your pets in my care, and should any changes or emergencies come up, you will be my first call (or text) in order to keep you apprised of your pet's care.
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.

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.
