“Ashley was amazing, she made our two girls really comfortable and put us at ease while we were away. I am very thankful for finding her and that she took such great care of our girls, we will definitely be referring back to her any time we need to go out of town. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have someone with care, patience and great vibes.”
“I’m so happy we had Maria to take care of our Cane Corso. She stay in communication with me and kept me updated with pictures of “our baby”. She made me feel very comfortable having her in our home. I highly recommend Maria, we will be booking with her again.”

We only had 1 visit with her thus far & she was punctual, professional, respected our home, & was very patient with our dog... My husband & I do not hesitate to recommend Ayla for dog-sitting... Thank you Ayla & we'll call upon you again!!!”
About: I’m an experienced, intuitive dog caregiver who blends calm confidence with playful, genuine affection. I’ve worked with pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m especially skilled at reading body language, easing anxiety, and building trust with shy or energetic dogs. My hospitality background shows up in the way I communicate clearly, stay organized, and anticipate both the dog’s needs and the owner’s peace of mind. Whether it’s maintaining routines, handling medication, managing multi‑dog households, or keeping high‑energy pups happily engaged, I bring steady reliability and a warm, joyful presence that dogs connect with right away. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work part‑time on weekends and I’m on summer break from school. I have plenty of open time during the week for walks, drop‑ins, and longer visits, and I balance my weekend job with consistent pet‑care hours. This flexibility lets me give each pet focused, reliable attention and maintain steady routines for kittens, senior cats, pregnant cats, and dogs alike. I provide a calm, stress‑free environment for every pet I care for. In my home, I offer a quiet space with no children, a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and a relaxed atmosphere where pets can settle in comfortably. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I focus on safety, consistency, and creating a peaceful experience for each pet.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and other animals since I was 10 and I have always treated them like family. I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician, so I’m learning more about animal health, safety, behavior, and proper care. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to give pets love, attention, exercise, food, and a safe environment while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I have availability during weekdays and weekends and can make time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to communicate with owners and follow each pet’s normal routine and care instructions. I have a fenced yard with no pets currently. I’m attentive to your pets individual personalities and routines and will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, playtime, medication, and other needs. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Kaelyn was an absolute professional. Took an 8 day trip to the east coast and I was anxiety ridden about dog care. Kaelyn came in clutch. She eased my anxiety and the dogs fell in love with her. She was prompt and diligent. Not only were the dogs taken very well care of, she even took out the trash on trash day. I can’t rave enough about her and we will definitely rebooked Kaelyn in the future.”
About: Since I can remember I grew up with all types of animals around me, I’ve had horses, bunnies, turtles, birds, but especially dogs and cats. I have a love for animals like no other and I treat each and every one like my own. I have open availability monday, saturday, sunday, friday- I have evening availability Tuesday-Thursday after 4:30 pm, I can stay nights, but whatever you need, don’t be afraid to ask and I sure can try to accommodate!

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!
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals. With years of pet ownership, I’ve honed my skills in training and caring for my own dogs. Though I lack formal professional experience, my journey truly began in 2019 when I welcomed my German Shepherd. I was committed to his training and enrolled him in boot camp, followed by ongoing socialization efforts. Additionally, I've cared for my own pets and stray cats, ensuring their well-being. My experience makes me a reliable and nurturing pet sitter, dedicated to the happiness and safety of your pets. I'm currently a student, with my semester concluding for the spring and resuming in the fall. Until then, I am available with flexible hours and can easily accommodate your scheduling needs. During May through summer, my availability will increase, allowing for even more flexibility. I'm here to ensure your pets receive the care they deserve at times that work best for you! I believe that every pet deserves personalized care and attention. My approach includes understanding the unique needs of each animal, whether it's a specific diet, exercise routine, or special medical considerations. I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. My experience with my own pets and local strays has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and playtime in building trust. I aim to provide not just basic care, but a nurturing experience that keeps them happy and healthy.
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 a dog owner for over four decades. I have owned and cared for many breeds and it is a passion for me. My dogs are family. I will treat your dog(s) as part of my family. My back yard has a waterfall feature, two artificial turf areas for going potty and plenty of room to explore and play. I own two beagles, Sofia and Fiona. I am retired with a very flexible schedule. I have two beagles that are part of my family and included in my daily routine and activities. I live in a senior gated community with many other dog lovers. My yard is fenced. I have a waterfall feature in the back, two artificial turf areas to go potty and two playmates, Sofia and Fiona, my beagles. I have a crate if needed.
“Kerrie is a blessing to take care of your pups. She takes extra special care of making sure that each pup gets the attention that they need. She took extra care and love with my german shepherd who apparently didn't like that I was gone. She is so patient and her attention to the pups needs are amazing. She does an amazing job of keeping me up to date on the pups day and she takes pictures of them as well. Kerrie is wonderful and she made my trip away from the pups easier so that I didn't have to worry about their care. Thank you so much Kerrie! You are the best and I know the pups loved having you take care of them.”
“I loved how attentive and communicative he was with looking out for my senior dog. He has a hard time with new people and it made me happy to see he was so good on his second day with Martin. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄
“Casey does a wonderful job watching our doggies and house! It is always so nice to feel comfortable going on vacation and knowing the dogs are happy and secure while we are away. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! Thanks again Casey!”
“I hired Kaylee to sit at my home with my Belgian Malinois with separation anxiety. I appreciate her quick responses thru the Rover App, and her willingness to arrive for an early morning appointment. We will definitely call Kaylee again in the near future.”
“Kaylah was awesome with both our cat and dog. She was very attentative and had much concern about our cat not eating the first 24 hours. But, the situation resolved with Kaylah’s attempts to make the cat comfortable with her. 😃 She is the first to follow feeding instructions and found our home very clean. She is highly recommended that I’ve already booked her for our next trip.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,072 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
