“My little guy does not warm up quickly but Morgan was great with him! She sent lots of pictures and videos for the week I was gone and I felt like he was well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend Morgan!”
“Jessica was available and flexible on short notice and really came through. My dog is finicky and doesn’t like most people, but LOVED Jessica. I felt completely comfortable leaving my little buddy with her!”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
“Janie was absolutely fabulous, start to finish. My dog immediately loved her, and I knew the cats would be a little bit standoffish, but she got everybody taken care of. I sure hope she'll come and take care of my little menagerie again!”
“Kevasha is amazing!! she was able to accommodate me last minute when my sitter fell through for my trip. Having someone you dont know stay in your house & care for your pets can be a nerve-wracking experience - a lot can go wrong and it requires a lot of trust- i was so stressed out searching last minute - I feel SO lucky I found this gem of a sitter though! I immediately felt at ease with her & my instincts were proven right - she took amazing care of my animals and my home, & i think she even left the house better than she found it. I also really appreciated her entertaining updates and prompt communication. I willl definitely be booking with her in the future if shes willing to come back to my zoo. Thanks so much again!!”
“They were very kind and attentive to all of the care instructions for our three pups! All of our dogs loved them and seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home. They left our home nice and clean as well. Would definitely rebook with them :)”
“After my regular sitter cancelled because of family issues I was lucky to find Ariel. She came before the days I needed for a meet n greet. Both of my Boys were fighting over her attention as soon as she got here. I will definitely use her again. My boys are spoiled and love cuddle time. One is a “talker” and she sis great with both.”
“Lyric did a fantastic job! Kept watch over our fur babies and sent us updated pics throughout the house sitting. It was wonderful to have the peace of mind that they were well taken care of while we were away :)”
“Just wanted to share the great experience we had with Catecha this past weekend—and on very short notice! My pitbull, Jug, has some serious separation anxiety issues; issues we weren't fully aware of either, since this was his first time being watched by someone outside the family. Catecha was absolutely amazing and seemed to understand Jug's delicate personality right away. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which helped put my mind at ease. Her communication was top-notch, always responsive and not afraid to ask questions. She left our home clean and tidy—a huge bonus to come home to after traveling! I HIGHLY recommend Catecha if you need a dog sitter, especially if your pup is a bit high-maintenance, like mine. After the initial anxiety of leaving in general wore off, I felt comfortably at ease leaving Jug in her care, and that's priceless. I will definitely be using Catecha again in the future!”
“Mia was very attentive to our girls and took care of the house while we were away. Very communicative with updates multiple times per day together with pics and good questions about the dogs or the house (the power went out for an hour and the dogs caught a critter in the back yard). Mia was up front about her schedule and kept us up to date about her needs. Overall - the dogs loved her and we will work with Mia again if schedules work.”
About: I grew up with a chocolate lab and took in two cats in high school. I’ve primarily had cats as pets recently (and have become a master at giving cats pills). I’ve dog sat and cat sat for several friends. I always have a great time watching their home while spending time with their fur babies. I work fully remote for my 9-5 as well so any home with good wifi I can be there the whole working day. I have good experience giving cats pills and liquid medicine. I work remotely so I can work from any home with good wifi. So if your pet gets lonely I can keep them company all day long. For things that require a routine or specific timing, such as medicine, I set alarms and calendar reminders. I love getting a clear list of expectations from the pet owner of how to treat their specific pet. Every pet is unique and I want to make sure I’m caring for your pet in the way best for them! I’ve watched cats that needed three pills in the morning and one at night. I’ve watched dogs with special dietary restrictions where I had to tear up boiled chicken for them. I’ve also watched kitties that just want cuddles all day long and dogs who want to play fetch all day long. I always try to accommodate best I can!
About: I have had all kinds of animals growing up and caring for them in such a way that I’ve developed a lot of skill sets. From dogs to cats and even reptiles I was able to do whatever I needed to do to make sure they are comfortable,safe,well fed,got the attention and love they needed and just being there for them in every way.I don’t look at this as a job it’s my life I love all types of animals and just being around them makes me so happy.If you ever leave your pets under my supervision I can promise you that you will have no worries on my end I am a reliable person that will keep them secured in every given way needed.
About: I’ve owned dogs almost my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Animals are my passion and in addition to pet sitting, I foster for LifeLine Animal project. I’ve fostered over 25 dogs in my time as a volunteer. Through volunteering, I’ve also taken a Behavior Treatment class for shy/fearful and leash-reactive dogs, so if your pup has some behavioral special needs, I’m more than happy to take the time to make them and you as comfortable as possible. I so look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I work from home 4 days a week and 1 day a week in the office on Wednesday, with some flexibility. I am available to pet sit in your home or for drop-in visits. My schedule can be modified to accommodate the needs of you and your pets! I treat your pet with the same love and attention as I’d treat my own. Animals are family, and I appreciate the trust you’ve given me to provide the best care for your pet.
“Nicole took great care of my anxious pup. Her communication was great the entire time and she took the cutest pictures. After meeting with her, I felt comfortable with leaving my puppy. When I picked him up, I could tell he was comfortable with Nicole. I'll definitely consider her for future services.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeview Estates
Shannon S is an absolutely incredible dog sitter! coming into my home and blindly trusting since I have ptsd. But when my partner suggested using Rover instead of a kennel I searched for the person my soul felt would be the most motherly, kind, patient and tough! I am always a little nervous about new people However Shannon agreed to meet with me a day before my partner and I had to leave! Even with her busy schedule, she still made it work! it rained extremely hard while we were gone and there was not one drop of mud anywhere in the house or on the dogs! They were both still spotless! Shannon never complained about the weather. She only reassured us that we picked a right time to go on our trip and that she was holding the fort down!! My partner and I have two 90+ lb dogs who love to play and are needy when it comes to love! We like our dogs to eat at a specific time and to sit on command and Shannon sent us a photo when it was time to feed and it made us feel very comfortable and relaxed! We were kinda last minute for her and she replied right away and since I mentioned that I have two bigs dogs I needed a strong person and seeing the type of dogs Shannon watches on her profile I saw no reason why she wasn’t the sitter for us! I will definitely continue scheduling Shannon s for my babies! My big labsky is a regular flight risk and it makes me nervous as a parent and when he tried to jump my fence she was right on top of it! I am so thrilled with her athletic ability 😝😅 that made me so happy to hear and I am so exited for her to take them to the dog parks and continue watching them because I can tell how content and happy our babies (dogs) are!!! Thank you again Shannon!
Very happy with how Latoya cared for my babies. I have two dogs and a cat and they we're all loved and cared for while we we're away. Trusting your babies and your home to someone when you're away can always be tough. It is nice to know that I could trust Latoya. Will definitely look for her help again!

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 Estates 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 Estates 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 Estates 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!

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.

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.
