“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.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a professional groomer for the past 5 years. I am a mom to a tripod Shiba Inu mix and a deaf Shih Tzu mix! I work for a school district 7-4 Monday-Friday. This has freed up my schedule on weekday evenings and weekends are typically free with a bit of notice! I have a soft spot for seniors, I am especially gentle with the sugar faced pets. I understand each pet is a unique situation and will have flexibility to meet their needs!

About: My staycation set up is totally different than anyone else you will see locally in my area. Here at DOODS ON DOCKS they will have a great staycation on our beautiful lake property. Enjoy your vacation knowing your dog will be as happy as you are over the holidays or your time away. With my services you get what you pay for. Your dog is a family member. They are not left outside, or in a kennel. They're a part of our home. They sleep with us and do everything we do. I have 30 years experience working with dogs through volunteering and fostering thru the Humane Society and Rescues. I'm very dog savey and most dogs realize I am the pack leader and rely on me for that. I have clients that have senior dogs that require meds, and personal care. This is not a problem. What sets me apart from most pet sitters is that I go above and beyond for the pups. Someone is home 90% of the time. I have had clients that have been with me for many years. At my house you get what you pay for and more. It looks easy and fun on my part however, there’s alot that goes into it besides all the scooping….. Starting with reservations. I always have a free meet and greet. I consider all the dogs I will be having at that time to see if all my guests will enjoy their experience, and how I need to accommodate them. As they arrive, and while they’re here I still study each personality to see who can play together and who would rather just “stay out of it”. Since the dogs live in the house like my own pets, I want to make sure everyone is happy. No dog is crated or kenneled unless that is what the dog requires. There’s outside play time at least twice a day. Which might involve chasing a ball, squirrel, duck, or swimming in the lake, or lounging in the sun. If you need a staycation for your pet where they will come home exhausted and happy, let me know. 1. I can pick up and deliver your pup if needed for an extra fee. 2. I live on the lake. 3. I can also bath and do light grooming if needed including nails. 4. 📸 But the most important thing is that pictures and communication cell 📱 📞 with the pups parents are sent many times a day so that you know your dog is safe, and basically having a blast here at my house. We live on the lake so there's lots of room to run and play, however we do have a dog area with a doggie door so they can come and go. All dogs live inside with us and sleep in our room if they want to. My family works from home so someone is here most of the time. My personal dogs are use to having dogs visit us at home and it's never an issue. All dogs are treated like our own and loved. Their needs are always accommodated so that their parents can feel assured that they are well taken care of without any worries while they are gone. I have a doggie area that is large that the dogs can use with a doggie door. This area also has our hot tub so they often play outside or "talk" to us while we use the hot tub. I have a large back yard that the dogs can enjoy while we are there to supervise them. Dogs are not left unattended in the back yard. I live on a quiet one way street with neighbors only to the left and right of me. We all know each others dogs and can identify them.

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.

About: Hello all! I’m Jessica, 31 and I am excited to meet you and your pets! I joined Rover back in 2019, I have been so overwhelmed with joy being able to bond with clients I’ve had and I’m always looking to add to my amazing circle! I’ve traveled and have done rover in many states and it’s been too fun to stop! Being a pup owner myself, my first baby, Blu (Booboos) she was a laid back couch loving pit-bull mix who is now 11 years old, my old lady as I called her. I have had a small lifestyle change the past year as I had a child of my own, but being a stay at home mother I enjoyed the quality time I had with my pup and the importance of how it had been hard on her in those early stages with my hands tied to a newborn . Sadly, she has recently passed over the rainbow bridge back in March of this year (2026) and there’s been a hole in my heart. Luckily, I had been so privileged to give my pup the most attention, whether it had been her being at home, playing in the back yard, running errands with me , or a simple walk around the block; thinking of her is what made me interested in giving other fur babies the fun time, attention and care they need (it doubles as a little out of home therapy for me!) I have prior experience in dog care working for an animal hospital 3 years in addition to caring for my own, so quality care is primary and I would love to give that extra love and quality time to your future babies! Making time that works well for you and your pup is a priority to me! Let’s chat on how we can make it happen! :) I am open to care routine of your choice! What you prefer and like to keep same routine I am with it! If you’d like to switch it up I’m all for it! No matter what I am attentive to send you updates every step of the way ! I am currently a stay at home mom, I have the flexibility to work with an owners requests to ensure they get the satisfaction of leaving their fur babies in my care. Going over the best plan of care with you about your fur baby is priority! I’ve had some of my clients print out itineraries for me if had multiple pets or just because it’s nice to have something structured to go off of! I am flexible with what will make you and your fur baby comfortable!

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.

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!

Shalah is by far the kindest, sweetest and gentlest sitter we have ever had. Sitter isn't a good enough word to capture all she has done for us. She cares for our pets like their her own and we truly could not have the quality of life we have without her.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lakeside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet 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 4,542 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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:

  • 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.

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.

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.
