“Jessica was fantastic with our kitties! She was prompt, communicative and made sure to give special attention to our skittish baby who likes to hide ❤️ we will definitely use her again!”
“Gemma is awesome - super flexible, super respectful, and great with my super anxious boy! Even though we had a supervised meet and greet where my dog (Don, GSD) LOVED Gemma, he still refused to come out of his crate when she came to check on him alone. Gemma was kind and patient with him and didn't force him to leave his comfort zone, which is perfect for working with such a large and anxious dog! She kept me updated and didn't get discouraged by his behavior and I know in time, Don will warm up to her and be comfortable spending time with her while i'm away. I would definitely recommend working with Gemma if you've got an anxious pup that needs a little extra TLC before trusting a new person! I am so glad to have Gemma to help with our "big scary post-pandemic" adjustment to life without me being home all the time! Thank you, Gemma!”
“Hailey & Destini did a wonderful job with our English Bulldog Louis. We didn’t have to worry about him while we were at our annual Christmas trip. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Daysi is an excellent sitter for our fur family. She is right on time, and she cares about her clients and their pets. I highly recommend Daysi to be your pet sitter.”
“Deb is absolutely Amazing! Thank you so much for taking care of Stella. You truly love animals as your eyes lit up the moment you saw the cutest beagle face ever! Would book again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog mom myself, so I know just how much our pets mean to us. I have dogs of my own and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your fur baby needs an overnight sitter, walks, playtime, meals, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I have two sweet doggies named Leo & Sparky who are 7 and 8 years old! I am a stay at home mom, so I’m very used to having a busy routine centered around caring for others. I also have dogs of my own, and taking care of animals fits naturally into my everyday life. I’m comfortable with routines, schedules, feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Im a mom and I have dogs of my own, so I’m pretty used to taking care of everyone and keeping up with a routine 😂. When I’m watching someone else’s pets, I really just treat them like they’re my own. I’ll follow whatever routine they’re used to, make sure they’re fed and let out, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and of course lots of cuddles if they’re into that. I’ll also respect your home and leave things the way I found them. I know I’d be nervous leaving my own pets with someone, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being loved and taken care of while you’re gone. 🐾❤️
“I would definitely book with Melanie again to take care of my fur babies! This was my first time booking with her but it will not be my last!! She is very professional, compassionate, caring & on time to do the job. She takes her time & gives them the quality time that they need. She’s great with communicating things about your fur babies & she’s very friendly & attentive!! She was truly the answer to my prayers!!!”
About: Reliable, caring, and passionate about animal care 🐾 I provide dependable pet sitting services with a focus on safety, comfort, and personalized attention. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel their best. From daily walks and playtime to companionship and care while you’re away, I’m committed to providing the same love and attention I would want for my own pets. I’m responsible, communicative, and will always keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pets are cared for. I have 8 years of experience with animals (dogs specifically), I have been trained to give oral and injectable medications for all pets as well. I am currently working part time (2-3 days a week) so that gives me ample time to spend time with your fur babies. My schedule is also extremely flexible! I have a decent sized fenced in yard with 5 dogs at home. My babies are friendly but take some time to get used to other dogs!
“Kaitlynne was amazing! I will definitely be asking for her help in the future. She was so patient with my bunch. My dogs are all very different and need all different kinds of care and attention and she handled them all with the love that I would have. I’m so thankful and I felt so much more comfortable being away knowing the care she was giving to my guys.”
“We have no complaints about Heidi. She was punctual and communicative. The pups were well cared for and enjoyed all of the lovies and cookies she gave. Will definitely be booking in the future ☺️”

My commitment to excellence sets me apart, providing your furry friends with a top-tier, tailored experience. I’m currently not working and have all the time in the world to make sure your fur baby is treated like royalty. Your fur friend will be my number one priority! Keeping a close eye on your fur baby and making sure they are being active along with the require sleep needed to keep your pet happy and healthy.
About: What sets me apart is my personalized and attentive approach to pet care. With over 8 years of experience, I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is an essential part of my weekly routine, and I structure my schedule to provide consistent and attentive care. My mornings typically include check-ins or walks for pets, ensuring they start their day with exercise and attention. I also plan my mid-day breaks or work intervals to accommodate feeding, potty breaks, or playtime as needed. On days when my schedule includes specific commitments, like work or classes, I always make time before and after to ensure pets are cared for without any interruptions to their routine. My approach is adaptable, allowing me to meet the needs of pets and their owners, whether they require short visits, extended care. I strive to maintain a pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to ensure their comfort and minimize stress. This includes following feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions, such as administering medications or specific training. I also prioritize keeping their environment clean and safe, making sure food and water bowls are sanitized and their living area is tidy. While in my client’s home, I respect their space by leaving it as clean and organized as when I arrived, ensuring a worry-free environment. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, welcoming, and pet-friendly environment. I designate areas where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I adhere to their usual feeding and exercise schedules and provide plenty of attention and enrichment activities. For dogs, this includes walks, outdoor play, and cuddles; for cats or smaller animals, I ensure they have quiet spaces and interactive play. I also take precautions to ensure a safe environment by securing harmful items and monitoring interactions if I have other pets.
About: I will love and spoil your babies just like they are my own. I have had Dogs all my life and just love everything about them. I especially love the energetic dogs, the ones others consider "crazy" and Senior dogs, I have a huge soft spot in my heart for those guys. I have had rescue dogs all my life so am used to working with "quirky dogs", please tell me any unusual behaviour/likes/dislikes beforehand. I can't keep everyone safe if I am not fully prepared. I keep the number of pets I care for down to a small amount so I can offer a more personalised care and give your guys what they need I have a fenced in yard, and one very sweet dog who loves to hang out with other dogs so will keep your dog company
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, young and old, since 2019. I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s parented guinea pigs and parakeets as well. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences for the animals I sit through play and exercise. I’m a freelancer by trade and work for myself so I have open availability during both weekdays and weekends with limited notice needed to make myself available. I ask that pet owners provide any necessary supplies as I do not have them at home. I do live in a newer apartment complex with a fenced in playground for dogs to run around and lots of sidewalk space for walks.
“Meredith always communicates her arrival, responds quickly and shares information about Finn’s day. She is wonderful to work with. Finn loves her and is always so happy when we get home. We highly recommend Meredith”

Gemma was wonderful with caring for our fur baby! She loved on and truly took care of him where we had no worries while on vacation. Khalifa absolutely loved her during our meet and greet which led me to choosing Gemma to care for him. She’s a real sweetheart and we definitely will book her again, thank you so much Gemma!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lakeview is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 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 2,024 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakeview. 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 Lakeview. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
