“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”
“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: 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.
About: I have been around pets since birth, I love all animals they have a special place in my heart. I have rescued 2 cats and grew up with all types of dogs also volunteered at various ranches to help care for animals I currently work full time but I do make my own schedule I would be happy to do everything I can to accommodate your little one’s needs I believe animal safety is of utmost importance and can guarantee your babies safety when in my care, I will always take extra precautions to ensure their happiness and safety
About: I’ve cared for my neighbors’ and friends’ pets for years! I absolutely love dogs and cats and have a very flexible schedule. I have experience caring for birds, farm animals, rodents, and other pets as well. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to give pets plenty of love and attention while their owners are away! I’m currently commuting to a nearby college, with classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I’m available in the afternoons on those days, and I’m otherwise very flexible and open to caring for your pets! I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a safe, loving environment with plenty of space to relax and play! I have a spacious fenced backyard and my own pups, who can provide a fun playmate if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. For stays in your home, I follow all care instructions closely and make sure your pet gets plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, treats, and love. I want every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away!
“Ms. Maria was absolutely wonderful. She fully understood our fur baby’s unique situation and accommodated with pleasure. Besides requiring adherence to a specific routine, our little girl also has separation anxiety. Ms. Maria and our fur baby did so well together! On the human front: Mommy and Daddy were very reluctant to leave our little princess. Ms. Maria could sense that. Text communication updates and pictures helped to ease our minds and achieve comfort to relax and enjoy our outing. Based on behaviors displayed, it was evident that our little fur baby felt secure and safe. We are so happy to have found Ms. Maria and are looking forward to our next interaction.”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of pets since I was really young and still take care of my current dog who is 15 years old. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, will follow your care instructions exactly and if there are any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let me know! Although I’m a student, I currently have a lot of free time so taking care of your pet is something I look forward to doing! I’ve had plenty of experience with pets at home since I was very young and enjoy having a pets’ company! :) I’ll make sure that they have a comfortable and safe time.
“Did a great job with my fur babies. She sent me pics and updates of them. My dogs loved her and I would definitely rebook her for the next time I have a trip away. She did a great job!!”
“Larissa was amazing and took great care of our dog. She is extremely trustworthy. She communicated several times each day. She updated how our dog was doing and sent pictures. Routines were followed and our dog seemed very happy with her. I highly recommend Larissa!! Thank you, Larissa!”
“another amazing sit for my babies by maureen! my kitty cat took no readjustment time and wasn’t hiding from her at all. she handled my mischievous doggy very well too. informed me of when he got up to something and immediately fixed the situation with his safety in mind. definitely will rebook with maureen in the future!”
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.
“Cassidy was very sweet, caring and patient with my senior beagle. She was patient and followed all instructions. She communicated regularly and sent photos and videos. I have already requested another booking with her. I recommend Cassidy for your pet.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments—from high-energy puppies who need structure and consistent training, to senior pets who require extra patience, medication management, and gentle handling. I’m also skilled at reading animal body language, which helps me create a calm and safe environment quickly, even with shy or anxious pets. Whether your pet needs basic training reinforcement, extra playtime, or specialized senior care, I adapt to meet their individual needs. Communication is important to me, so I make sure to keep owners updated with regular photos and notes so they feel completely at ease while they're away. Ultimately, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with compassion, attentiveness, and care. Caring for animals isn’t just a side job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize throughout my week. I treat every visit or stay as an opportunity to build a bond, provide comfort, and keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine. I create a safe, pet-friendly space free of hazards, with comfortable areas for rest and play. I gradually introduce them to new environments to help them feel secure, and I only accept pets whose needs and personalities are a good fit for the environment. Supervised play, structured routines, and quiet time are all part of my care approach. In every case, building trust—with both pets and their people—is my priority. I communicate regularly with updates and photos, so owners know their pets are happy, safe, and in good hands.
“Lili was wonderful with our boys, Ozzy & Luke. She communicated with us throughout the stay. She sent updates and photos of our pups, which we really enjoyed. She treated the pups and our home with lots of respect. We’re looking forward to her spending more time with our pups in the future. Lili is great, your fur babies will warm up to her immediately. 💛”
“Marissa was great! We had 2 meet and greets to ensure she was a good fit. She was very accommodating to our schedules and it gave us the confidence to leave our Great Pyrenees with someone who would give him good care. She updated us daily with texts and pictures. Took also him on several walks a day. We will definitely call on her again for our future vacations.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Lakeview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,064 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
