“Carrie did a wonderful job taking care of our elderly cat. She was always on time, communicated clearly and was very reliable. We appreciate the updates and pictures she sent during each visit, it gave us a peace of mind knowing Nikita was in such good hands. We highly recommend Carrie to anyone looking for a caring dependable pet sitter.”
“Kurstyn took great care of Gracie. Took her for walks around the neighborhood to help cheer her up. Will definitely want to have her sit and check in on her again when needed. Great communication!”
“Courtney is absolutely amazing! She provides photos, updates, and spends special time with my two pups and one cat. They are so well cared for while I’m away!! She is definitely sweet, trust-worthy and someone that I will continue to have back!!”
“Laura was amazing! She read and followed my incredibly detailed instructions. She had incredibly prompt communication, and let me know when issues occurred (my cat deciding to poop just outside the litter box). She took very cute pictures! Overall, I would highly recommend Laura.”
“My pup and I are new to the Austin area and I was worried of not being able to find someone to drop in and take care of my dog when I went on vacation but Arlayna did an amazing job. She was so patient with him and went above and beyond to spend extra time with him before I left to make him feel comfortable with her. I was worried that he was not going to warm up but when I was away Arlayna kept me updated and let me know that things were getting better each day. She sent me many pictures throughout her stay and also brought him treats. I am beyond grateful for her kindness and willingness to watch Lorenzo even though he was tough to crack. I would definitely recommend Arlayna and look forward to booking her again!”
“Very good dog sitter. Did really good with our big dogs. Very communicative and really cares about them. Very trust worthy. We did not have to worry about her during our time away from home.”
“Your pet is in good hands with Stephanie! My dog loved seeing her for mid-day walks while I was at work. She also sends plenty of pictures and videos to keep you updated! She even brought over toys and treats that her own dogs didn't care for. I will continue to use her services whenever I need a walker I can trust!”
About: I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter. I took a course on animal handling, how to decrease frustration, anxiety and stress (FAS) for animals in the shelter, body language, how emotional health impacts an animal’s physical health, etc. I have a certificate in keeping a shelter Fear Free. My family and friends have relied on me in the past to dogsit their fur-babies. I have a large extended family with pets of all kinds, from German Shepard’s, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, to mixed breeds and Tabby cats. Five of them are shelter rescues and one chihuahua-dashscund. For all of the animals I have taken care of, I came to their home so that the animals remained comfortable. I love all of my fur-babies, and I’m thankful that my family trusts me enough to take care of them while they’re away on vacation. Important Note: If you’re wanting to do more “meet and greets” after the first one in order for your pet to get more comfortable around me, I will be charging the same price as it would be for a drop-in (about $15 depending on the pet care). Another Important Note: I can give oral medication by putting it into their food. I can not, however, give it to the pet straight. My work schedule varies every week. However, I usually work from either 8:30 AM or 10 AM to 4 or 5 PM. I wouldn’t mind discussing the details in-person. My living situation does not allow me to petsit in my own home, however, I am able to petsit in my clients’ homes. When it comes to animals, I am very responsible. I take my job as a pet-sitter very seriously. I am able to give them any medications if needed at certain days and times, walk them, feed them, etc.
“Jessica was very friendly and prompt on arrivals. She was very thorough with check in details and even played fetch with them. Our boys loved her and she loved them. 10 out of 10 would recommend. ❤️❤️”
“Angela rocks! It was obvious that our pets loved her. She went above and beyond for them. We really appreciate her help and will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: I have two senior dogs now, and have had dogs and cats my whole adult life. I have cared for friends’ pets when they travel and can provide references. I’m newly retired, and my availability for drop-in’s, walks, and overnight stays is very flexible. I’m newly retired and looking forward to new adventures with your fur-babies. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I am able to stay in your home overnight. I can come to your home for playtime, walks, and general care. I am also available for overnight stays in your home. I am comfortable providing medication and injections.
“Kathryn was so amazing to our dogs! We have two pups who were nervous around strangers but she did such a good job making them feel comfortable around her! She helped us with our last minute drop in visit and was best friends with both of them after 20 minutes!”
About: Animals have been a big part of my life since childhood. I have 5+ years of experience in all types of canine care, dog training, puppy socialization, off leash supervision, and much more! I use positive reinforcement and a patient, individualized approach to help your dog feel safe and comfortable. I’m extremely experienced with walks using any collar or harness, scheduled/ specific feeding, engaging playtime that teaches, as well as aggression, anxiety, and overall behavior guidance. Currently studying for the CPDT-KA, the Certified Professional Dog Trainer–Knowledge and Skills Assessed. Currently, I have an extremely flexible schedule and work from home, so I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I offer walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight care, tailored to each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I prioritize positive reinforcement, secure environments, and following your care instructions. I’ll treat your pet and home with patience and respect.
About: Hi, I'm Carley or most know me as Angelina! I have been caring for furry fiends all my life! I have had a several goldens, yorkies, and my current little guy is a german short haired pointer! I absolutely love getting to play, walk, or snuggle with any pet of any size! I definitely believe the saying that a dog is a mans best friend and believe that we should treat our animals as such.I as a fellow dog mom understand how important it is to have someone you can trust watching a member of your family. I believe spending just a few hours with an pet (or human, in their case) can change the whole mood for the day. I am fairly flexible and willing to work with you to make sure your family member is cared for! From walking and check ins, to pet sitting, or even spending your day out with your four legged friend, I know your little friend will be loved and happy in my care. I feel comfortable feeding, playing with, walking, and even taking your pets on outings! My work schedule is a set one, so I can stop by before work, during my lunch break, or after work and anytime during the weekends. If you need something a little bit different let me know and I am happy to accommodate your needs! I have a huge yard that all dogs love to run in and I live in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walking in.
About: I’ve worked with dogs in a professional capacity for over a decade, including managing structured environments where consistency and temperament mattered. That experience shapes how I approach in-home care today: calm, observant, and steady. I adapt well to each home’s environment. Every household has its own rhythm, and I focus on maintaining that rhythm rather than disrupting it. I respect property, keep to designated shared spaces, and treat each home responsibly while I’m there. With animals, I prioritize patience and regulation. Dogs often mirror calm, consistent energy, and I remain relaxed and steady in my interactions. Whether maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing expectations, or adjusting to unexpected wake-ups, I approach care with composure. I value clear expectations so I can maintain healthy boundaries and provide dependable, consistent care throughout your time away. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I maintain a consistent daily routine with flexible hours, and afternoons and evenings are open most days. Feeding, walks, and check-ins happen at reliable times so pets stay comfortable and owners know what to expect. I approach every home and animal with calm professionalism and respect. I’m attentive to boundaries, cleanliness, and consistency — whether I’m providing a single visit or longer in-home care. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which allows me to focus fully on the animals in my care. My priority is reliability: safe handling, clear communication, and a steady, grounded presence.
About: I have been around dogs all my life. All of the dogs and cats that my family and I had/have were found as strays and made part of the family. I would always help my parents take care of my neighbor’s dogs when they are away on vacation. This past fall, I dog sat and dog walked for a family before, during, and after they went on a cruise. I am good with young and old dogs, all sizes!! I grew up loving animals and have been fortunate enough to have cared for many different animals. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, guinea pig, squirrels, and a few birds. In the fall of 2025, I fostered a bunny for 2 weeks and took it to adoption events. If I have the funds, I would have definitely kept it. 😂 I currently have 2 green anoles that I care for and love. Hi! I am Ami Masler. I’m from Memphis, TN and currently finishing up my undergraduate at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I am majoring in Exercise and Health Science and hope to become an athletic trainer. Fun fact: I love playing volleyball. Like the information described under the “Pet Care Experience” prompt, I grew up with a variety of pets. Think of it like having an out-of-country farm if you will. I love being around animals, so obviously zoos and aquariums are my favorite places to visit apart from my parents’ house. Classes start up late August, so all dates up until then are open until booked. Once college classes start up again, my schedule will mostly stay the same, open. During the semester, I will have a tutoring job, but it shouldn’t have any effect on scheduling or anything like that. If there is a conflict, tutoring sessions can be moved. I always meet clients before I start any service to make sure that I am compatible with the cat or dog. After that, I make sure to follow what the client needs and wants for their pets. I give lots of attention when I’m not at work and make sure that they get all that they need.
About: Most sitters will do a fine job taking care of your pet while doing the minimum, but if your pet is as rambunctious as mine have been, I will have no problem taking them on a run or other forms of exercise as many times as they so please. I don’t have usually any scheduling issuing that would get in the way of me and your pet. I can be very attentive throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and 2 big cages that they can get comfy in when need be. I have 3 wonderful roommates who, if you’re comfortable with, will also play and take care of your pets as often as you like.
“Lauren did an EXCELLENT job with our pit. We would highly recommend her services to anyone. She took pics of each visit, arrived on time for 7 consecutive days. Great communication skills. 5 Stars from us!”

Rocio is the best! We had daily photos, updates on meals and playtime! This was the first time we have ever booked a sitter for our kittens and Rocio is our go to sitter now. Professional and very caring for our girls. We can’t say enough about how she took care of our kittens! Highly recommend her and we will book her again! Kelly / Larry
Sara was great with our pups and lovely to work with. She met with us and our pets briefly first which was so helpful and much appreciated. She did a great job asking questions and following through on everything we discussed. Would happily work with her again. Thanks Sara!
Keira is doing drop-ins for us and is building a good relationship with our rescue. She responds quickly to any messages. She is great at making sure any instructions I leave are done. She takes cute pictures during the visit too! We plan to have her sit for us when vacation time comes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lakesite is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 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 838 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakesite. 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 Lakesite. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
