“Risa really came through for me. I work long hours at night and my husband is currently out of town and I needed someone who could check up on my baby Sophie while I was at work. It took a lot for me to allow someone other than myself or my husband to care for her. I’m so glad I made this decision. Risa was amazing and my pup loved her. She always let me know when she was going to my home and sent me pics of their time together. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have raised and cared for many dogs in my life. I have also babysat for years, so adjusting to different personalities and quirks is not strange for me. I am currently enrolled in Midwestern State University, majoring in Nursing. Additionally, I am running cross country there. Evenings and weekends are pretty open for me, but will vary! I have babysat, house sat, and used to clean homes before moving off to college, so I am pretty comfortable with watching your pets in the comfort of your own home. Unfortunately, however, the dorms don’t allow pets lol, so I am unable to watch them at my living space.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12, which started in my neighborhood growing up. I would take care of neighbors dogs when they're out of town, at work for long periods of time, or volunteering at the humane society. Over the years I have gained experience which include: bathing, feeding, walking, playing, and medicating them when needed/prescribed. Lastly I consider myself an excellent dog sitter because I truly love dogs, I love all animals, but dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I currently work part-time as a nanny 2-3 times a week but those hours are flexible. I do prefer an ongoing long term set schedule, but am also flexible for other types of schedules and dates. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with lots of lawn and grass area for dogs to run around and play. There are other dog owners who are very friendly as well as stationary bag stations to keep a clean space for others.
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!
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside City
We had a wonderful experience with McKenna! She communicated clearly and consistently and was incredibly patient, understanding, and kind when we ran into some difficulties on our end. She handled everything with such grace and made the entire process stress-free. McKenna is a college student who is new to the area, and I highly recommend giving her the opportunity to care for your pets. We would absolutely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lakeside City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lakeside City after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 .
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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
