“This was our 2nd time having Air watch our 2 small dogs in our home. Once again, it went amazing. The dogs were clearly loved on and well taken cared while we were away. The regular updates gave us peace of mind and helped us relax on vacation knowing our pups were happy and relaxed with Air watching them. I'm a protective dog mom and I feel very safe having Air watch my dogs. I highly recommend her services.”
“My 3 dogs loved Darian! They were so glad they did not have to stay at a kennel or at home alone and that he was there at night. Darian also picked up the mail and took them for walks and gave one dog medication. I would love to have him come back and stay again!”
“Averie did a great job pet setting for our 18 year old dog Remy. She provided a calm, nurturing presence for him that made him feel comfortable. I would highly recommended Averie for house sitting/pet sitting.”

About: Vet tech and animal lover offering walks, drop-ins, overnight care, medications, and loving attention. Experienced with puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets. With me your pets are family! Pet care is already a natural part of my routine! As a veterinary technician, I’m used to caring for animals daily and making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and attentive care. I have a strong eye for detail and stay on top of every pet’s needs. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets are well cared for while you’re away, because that’s exactly what I’d want for my own.
About: I grew up with dogs. Five, to be exact. I have always loved animals and I enjoy long walks so Rover felt like a perfect fit! I am open to doing walks, house sitting, and doing house visits for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I can give administer medicine and ensure that any special routines are carried out. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. Unfortunately, I can't do boarding, but I'm happy to house sit and give your babies check-ins and walks. I understand that some dogs might need some extra attention such as longer walks or strict diets and I look forward to supporting them, and you. I hope to meet your wonderful fur baby soon! My schedule is fairly flexible except for a few hours during late afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I am happy to walk, house sit, and do check-ins. Every pet is different so I like to learn from the owner what their little one prefers and what they need to have to feel comfortable.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved being around animals! I also have experience caring for family and friends’ dogs, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll treat your loved one with the same love, patience, and care I give my own.

I have a flexible schedule where I can be present on a consistent basis after 3pm. I am off on the weekends or will work shorter shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely, maintain their normal routines, and keep their environment safe and comfortable. I’ll ensure doors, gates, and fences are secure, keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, and make sure they always have access to fresh water.

About: I recently cared for a new born American Pit Bull Terrier, and 16 year old black American shorthair cat. The experience/care for both animals has helped me understand and appreciate a pet owners everyday task. There is so much sacrifice, dedication, and love that animals need on a daily basis. I would like to alleviate the daily stress that some pet owners may encounter while trying to juggle life, work, and caring for their animals. I have recently been laid off due to covid-19 pandemic. I now have an open schedule, please send me all your fur request. I cant wait to meet them! I care for animals in the same way I care for humans. Animals feel and think in similar ways that we do. Knowing and understanding a animals personality will only make my care for them more enjoyable.
“Skylar was awesome! We traveled from out of town and last minute decided we needed a dog sitter for a couple days in our hotel room. She was very accommodating. Her response time was always immediate and she sent updates as well as photos of our boy while she was with him. If we come back to California we absolutely will use Skylar again!”
“Joshua arrived when promised and took good care of our 2 dogs. They both liked him immediately, which was a feat as our larger 90 lb dog doesn't take to people quickly. House was left spotless and all was well!”
“Lili took great care of our two dogs and our home. She is very attentive to the dogs and they love to spend time with her. Leaving our pets when we travel is always so tough, but knowing they are being cared for by Lili has lifted a lot of worry off our mind. Thank you again, Lili!”
“Ebonnie was wonderful, she came earlier then asked to make sure the pups were settled down before she gave them their breakfast. She sent pictures, told us our pups were cuddle bugs and the best. We will use her again”
About: Hiya! I’m Nikki and I have two dogs myself, Biko and Boba, that I’ve raised from babies. My pups are very friendly and like meeting new dogs to see and play with. I’d love to get out more to walk your dogs and hang out with them. I’ll even run with them if you’d prefer. There’s also a dog park nearby my house so I can let them run around off leash too! I’ll do my best care for your precious dogs and make them feel as loved as possible. I do childcare on the weekdays and wouldn't mind watching your pets on the weekends so you can spend the night out and have a worry free weekend. I grew up taught to respect any space that I am welcomed into. I promise to keep your spaces as tidy and clean as you've left it and would not touch anything that I am not allowed to.

“I am so happy my first choice for a dog sitter was Stephine and Jon. I had never left my fur babies with a sitter before, so I was nervous but Jon and Stephine put me at ease right away with pictures and text messages. They stayed in our home and left it like we never left. Lucy and Molly kept looking for them when we got home!”
“Laura was very professional and was completly comfortable with my pets right away. She kept me updated and asked/answered questions as needed. She even took the time to clean up after my dog with incontinence issues. And, lastly she added a sweet touch by putting out a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a note of appreciation. It was hard to leave my vacation, but coming home was great. I would recommend her.”
“Katherine was terrific housesitting for our three pets (Mini-Australian shepherd, older ragdoll cat, and highland lynx kitten) in Newport Beach! The older two pets are very anxious with strangers, but Katherine was very patient and managed to win their trust. She sent us many photos and updates during her stay, and we felt very secure about leaving the "kids" in her care. Katherine also looked after the house and left it exactly as it was; you would never know she had been there. I am happy to recommend Katherine and would gladly hire her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lakeview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,071 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lakeview. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lakeview walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lakeview maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lakeview choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
