“Risa is very proactive with her care and asks good questions. It is obvious that she care a lot about all animals and I would recommend her to anyone. Will be reaching out again!”
About: Spending time with dogs makes my day! I love getting to learn their personalities and teaching them new skills. Plus getting to watch them enjoy playing with their pals. I work Monday-Friday but work from home so if you need to get in touch with me I may be busy during business hours. But I would be able to take care of your pups and take them out regularly. Have a fenced-in backyard with a lot of room to enjoy play. Dogs do have their own room or are welcome to lay in my bed. Take out the dogs about every 2 hours and feed them morning and night. Please send requests for each pet and what works with their schedule.
About: I’ve had the opportunity to be around all different types of dogs and cats, and I’ve loved them all! I can help your dog practice basic commands like sit, lie down, stay, and wait, or spend time playing, giving cuddles, and spoiling your pets rotten! Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to accommodate their needs I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll always do my best to follow your instructions and their normal routines ❤️🐈⬛🐶 I work full time but I’m available for drop in visits , dog sitting or dog walking anytime just text me if you have any questions thanks! So I live with roommates and we currently have 4 dogs and one doesn’t get along with some so I’ll be able to go to your house and be there with them or even drop in for a little to hangout
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, and neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in on, feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same patience and care I’d want for my own. I’m comfortable following specific routines and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and can provide consistent, dependable care throughout the week. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions closely and make safety and comfort my priority. I’ll keep your pet’s normal feeding, walking, play, and litter or potty routine while respecting your home. I’m patient with pets who need extra time to feel comfortable and will keep you updated while you’re away.
About: Over a decade of experience in training and caring for a variety of breeds, from puppy to senior. Endlessly patient and understanding of the different temperaments and needs of all dogs. I work weekday mornings, and would love to spend my afternoons with your furry family member. I am available on weekends and holidays as well. I am very attentive and will be willing to accommodate to the needs of your pet. Am comfortable with continuing the level of care you are always providing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lakeside City is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $21 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 72 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakeside City. 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 City. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
