“Brian always goes above and beyond. He risked his own safety by taking care of our dogs during this terrible cold spell. We could not have asked for a better sitter. Our dogs love him, and we are so blessed to have him!”
“Hannah did amazing with our dogs. She was either on time or early every time to go let them out and took very good care of them. She kept me updated every time she went over there and if she wasn’t sure about something instead of just doing it, she asked me what I would do which I really really appreciated. If you have the opportunity definitely book with her she’s amazing.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Jynna! From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring. Our pets were comfortable and well-loved while we were away, which gave us total peace of mind. We appreciated the regular updates, photos, and attention to detail! She is the sweetest! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: Hello! Liam and Sierra will be taking care of your furry family!! Sierra grew up on a farm and loves all 4 legged friends. Liam grew up with dogs his whole life! We love all dogs and show that by showing them a safe but loving, great time! Last year Liam and I fostered 14 dogs from bottle babies to seniors, so we are educated on all types. And now we have a large fenced in yard that dogs can run full speed in!! We also have an air conditioned sunroom that they can chill, drink water, and relax until ready to run again! The yard also has several mature trees so it’s very shaded! A doggie paradise! We are currently working on adding a doggie pool so they can cool off in the summer! My husband and I will be team working watching your pets! There will almost always be someone around to be there. We will always have them play before their breakfast. Then nap time for their belly’s to digest! Midday potty and play break. Then cool down. Then back to playing then eating! And for overnight potty breaks before bed! I have a large fenced in yard, and two friendly dogs myself! They are more than welcome to play or be separated! We have built in wooden crates here that are 6 feet by 3 feet they can lounge in or you can bring yours! However you prefer we will accommodate your pets needs! Our first priority is safety, and next your pet having a fun time!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. 🐾💓 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day since it’s currently summer. After summer, I will be Busy Mon-Fri Mornings, but will be able to work in the afternoons. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. 🐾💗 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I have a fully fenced backyard & front yard that can be split. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and treated with patience and kindness. I understand how important trust is when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I will treat your furry family member as if they were my own. 🐶🐱💗
“Jaime did a great job with our dog and cat, especially our dog who is very scared of strangers. Jaime clearly has lots of experience with dogs and knew just what to do to make Georgia feel comfortable. We'd definitely book him again for future trips.”
“Sofia was great! She took extra time out of her day to do a meet and greet first! I was nervous because this was the first time I’ve ever had someone check in on my dog! But mochi loved Sofia and it went great! Highly recommend !”
About: I have worked in a well renowned and amazing shelter & animal rescue (no kill shelter) for 5 years. I’ve got plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve also got certifications in fear free animal training, along with helping train many dogs for Leader dogs for the blind. I’m recently moved to the area, and currently working part time. So I have a lot of extra free time, my time is very flexible. I consider animals family, so taking care of them properly how their family ask is very important in my eyes. So taking care of them will be followed directly as stated. 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 4,577 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakeside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
