About: Although I am new to pet care, I have lots of experience with many types of breeds and ages. I currently have one 13yr old papillon whom I raised from 12 weeks, and a rescued 2yr old beagle/catahoula hound mix. Both have current vaccinations. Previously, I have 2 senior boxers, a senior german shepherd whom i also raised from a puppy, and a husky who i raised from 1yr old. My home environment is very quiet and relaxed. I have a 6 yr old daughter half of the time and my 2 dogs. I am very watchful and careful with my daughter around the dogs, to prevent any conflicts between them and have had no problems. I have a spacious, fenced backyard for dogs to run around and play. My daughter and I like to throw balls and toys for fetch, play tug of war and run around the backyard with the dogs. We also like to relax in the house. I live in a quiet neighborhood, with plenty of sidewalks for walking. I have no problem taking dogs for walks around my neighborhood or somewhere close by that requires a vehicle to get to. Its a great and fun opportunity for the dogs, my daughter and myself. I also have no problem bathing your dog if requested. I'm Active Duty Air Force so I do work full time during the day M-F. Dogs get let outside to use the bathoom in the morning before I go to work. I can come home at lunchtime to let the dogs outside again if needed. And then when I get home in the evening after work, dogs are let in and out of the house whenever needed to use the bathroom/play/be comfortable. All dogs are fed on a regular schedule. Breakfast before work, midday lunch (if required), dinner after I get home from work. Meds can be given if necessary on the prescribed med schedule. I do not work weekends, and am usually home all day. Dogs are let out to use the bathroom and play on a frequent basis while I am home. Feeding schedule remains the same on weekends as it is during the week. I have a very large, fully fenced backayrd and 2 friendly dogs to keep your pet company. Gumbo, my 2yr old LOVES to run around and play with other dogs. Ophelia my 13yr old is very laid back and likes her space to relax. I have a 6yr old daughter who LOVES to run around outside and play with the dogs. We like to take the dogs on short evening walks around the neighborhood after dinner on cool nights. Gumbo is crated during the day and anytime I am not home. Ophelia is allowed to free roam the house while I am out. I would prefer pets that are crate trained, so they can be crated if necessary for safety/separation. I do also have pet stairs to aid senior or disabled dogs get up onto the couch for a comfy spot to relax
About: I've had cats and dogs nearly all my life. At one point we had over 12 dogs and 4 cats! All eating in close proximity of each other peacefully! But also as a kid, the point was to just make sure they survive. No real focus on building relationships. Now over the past 15 years, I've become somewhat of an advocate for training pets on expectation and communication. Makes the owners life easier and helps the pet not feel anxious! I'm pretty flexible as I own a small mobile furniture repair business. Most requests can be granted if enough communication occurs ahead of time! My pets at home are decently trained. They won't win America's got talent, but they know and obey the basic commands. If you're currently training your pups and already have, I am happy to reinforce whatever habits and disciplines you are training or maintaining!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside City
Rebecca was GREAT with our cat! She made sure to send pictures everyday and videos somedays which I loved. I knew she was cared for and put my mind at ease knowing that she was there to provide her love while we were away. Rebecca made sure to update me on everything and even let me know that my thermostat might’ve been going out lol(we got it fixed thankfully!) I will absolutely be booking her again whenever we need a sitter. Thank you Rebecca!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lakeside City is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $25 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
