About: My Pet Care Experience 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. I was raised around smaller dogs, so that’s what I grew up knowing first. As I got older, I started being around bigger breeds too, and over time I got just as comfortable with them. I’ve also grown up around horses, fish, rabbits, and different kinds of animals, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. A lot of what I know about dogs comes from actually growing up with them—seeing their different personalities, learning their routines, understanding when they want attention and when they need their space, and learning how much they rely on the people taking care of them. I’ve gotten to experience the fun parts of raising animals, but I’ve also experienced what it’s like to lose one. Going through that made me realize even more how much these animals become a part of your life. Because of that, when I take care of someone’s pet, I don’t look at them as just another dog I’m watching. I think about how I would want my own pets to be treated if I wasn’t there. I want them to feel comfortable with me, keep their normal routine, and have someone around who genuinely enjoys being with them. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around my clients’ needs and make sure I have enough time to provide each pet with consistent, attentive care. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions, respect their space, and keep their pets’ routines consistent. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs while providing a calm, loving environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, even bearded dragons for years! I literally just love all animals & would love to be able to love on yours while you’re away! I would never want your pets to feel lonely while you’re gone, please trust your babies will be in great hands & very loved! So I have a part time job & I’m also doing a bit of school but I’ll be home a lot except on Thursdays I will for sure be home late. But other than that between classes & shifts I will be at home playing, cuddling, & taking care of your beloved pet! I do live in an apartment but have a fenced in yard & I also have multiple parks nearby that I can take your dog on a walk at. I have no other pets in my apartment so if your pet doesn’t like sharing that’s no problem! I do have a crate if need be for your pet, & if you have a cat I’m also about to purchase a cat tree!
“Sharon has done so amazing with my Cleo, who isn’t very trustworthy of strangers. She easily won over her trust & updated with photos at each drop-in, and made sure she knew everything she needed to know to care for my fur baby. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I've had animals my entire life, and I currently have four dogs and two cats of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care. I also volunteered at a wildlife sanctuary, where I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and paying close attention to an animal's needs and behavior. Whether your pet loves playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing and cuddling, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of affection for your furry family members. I work PRN at a hospital, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my availability carefully around bookings. I only accept requests that I know I can fully commit to so that every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I also have animals of my own, but I'm not the only person caring for them, so their needs won't interfere with my ability to care for your pets. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. When caring for pets in my client's home, I treat both the pet and the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow the owner's instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are away. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to learn their habits, boundaries, and preferences. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates secure, following feeding and medication instructions carefully, and providing regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind.

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have developed a strong understanding of the daily responsibilities involved in caring for dogs and cats. From maintaining feeding schedules and exercise routines to providing companionship, basic grooming, and monitoring their health, I am dedicated to ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and well loved. I do work a full time job but everyone’s hours are getting cut so I decided to give this a shot. I try to be as flexible as possible and work around my job.

About: I’ve owned a wide variety of pets ranging from guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, chickens, and of course, dogs. I have always been a big animal lover ever since I was a child. I have experience with training my own puppies and caring for senior dogs. I would care for your pets as if they were my own and give them the love and attention they deserve! I used to be an elementary school counselor and was with my previous district for 15 years, but the mental stress was becoming too overwhelming. I decided to leave the education field and pursue new adventures which includes pets and plants! My availability is wide open and I’m looking forward to working with your family! I have two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of making sure there are no accidents of pets getting out of the yard or home. I am attentive and careful with my actions to keep your pets safety in mind.

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lakeside stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
