“Kerry was beyond fantastic. My kitties loved the attention they received from her. She took amazing care of them while I was away and I was able to enjoy myself and not worry that they weren’t getting wonderful care.”
“Kami was very accommodating with my last minute request for a drop-in visit the next day. She arrived promptly and sent an adorable picture of my little ones who looked very content with their new friend. I will reach out to Kami again for future needs.”
“I could tell on Wyatt's meet and greet that Andrea was a compassionate animal care giver. Wyatt took to her immediate and by the end of the visit they were fast friends. I was able to go away with my mind at ease that Wyatt will be well cared for. Andrea sent updates and pictures with every visit letting me know he was okay. I now look forward to getting away more because I know my skittish rescue dog is in good hands. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Andrea.”
About: I'm 100% an animal lover! I've had 3 dogs growing up and multiple cats. I’ve also had 3 male Nigerian dwarf goats! I currently have 3 dogs, Hazel, Lexi, and Timber and a cat! Hazel, Lexi, and Timber love playing with all dogs big or small! If you need help with your fur baby, we would love to help! We love going for walks and making new friends! No matter if your fur baby is a dog or cat, I will treat them as if they were my own and make sure that they each get all the love and attention they need! I also have experience with reptiles and fish, so if you need extra help with your other pets, I’m the girl! Thank you for checking out my page, I hope to hear from you soon!! I dog walk full time and my schedule is always flexible! Im available 7days a week between the hours of 7am-7pm, but I’ll adjust my schedule to work for you and your fur babies! I can crate your pets if needed at anytime. When feeding I always keep each dog in separate areas. Dogs are always leashed when outside
“Montana cared for my two cats for over a week and truly went above and beyond for them- even spoon feeding one when he was being a bit of a prince about eating. She was very respectful of my house and left everything clean. She even took out the trash and the litter genie bags at the end of the week which I did not ask for or expect! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them that I didn’t have to worry at all for the whole trip!”
“Linda watched our cat, Maka, while we were out of town this past weekend. She was a sweetheart and went over and beyond to make sure Maka was taken care of, sending plenty of pics and videos each time she visited. Very appreciated!”
“Jen was really great! My kitty really liked her and she always sent pictures of them playing. She answered my texts right away and let me know if she thought anything was wrong with my frequently sick kitty. Felt very relaxed on vacation with Jen taking care of her.”
“Justine was an amazing find for us on Rover! She is a natural with animals as a vet tech, and she quickly built rapport with our two dogs. She is professional, prompt, and very easy to work with. Strongly recommend with 5 stars!”
“Need someone last minute. John responded promptly and was very communicative during his stay since it was his first time looking after my dog. Took him for a pee break and a little walk and gave him treats and my dog looked happy. Very pleased. Thanks!”
About: I’ve always lived with dogs and have often been asked by neighbors or friends to take care of their pups! I have experience with giving medicine and would be happy to give any other care your pup may need! I’m currently attending high school and working part-time so I will be available on any free days after 2-3ish for check ins or walking but I’m free for boarding any day and will make sure they get plenty of play time and love! I live with my mother, she and I have two cats and a dog. Our dog, for the time being, has to be crated while we’re both away though our cats have free roam. For boarding it will depend on how well trained your pup is to determine if they can be out while unattended but of course the goal is to have as little crate time as possible! For check ins and walking I’ll treat your fur baby (or possibly non furry baby) as if they were my own, lots of playtime and scratches!
About: I have taken care of pets starting at the age of 9 when my parents got me my first puppy. I had raised and trained him on my own, had responsibility of restocking and refilling food and water, as well as grooming, bathing, and bathroom use. Flash forward to when it came to my own dogs senior years, I had learned to understand the extra care that comes along with that. At the age of 13 I had started pet sitting for family and friends. Whether it be walking next door to my neighbors, taking care of a pet in my home, or having my mom drive me someone’s household, I’ve always enjoyed taking care of and playing with pets. At the age of 16 when I had gotten my license, I had started offering to do overnights at peoples homes for their pets and had driven myself to homes multiple times in a day to care for them. I think it’s important to be present, playful, and all around loving to each and every pet. I love to meet new pets and prioritize creating comfort between the animal and I. I’m currently working full time but have weekday evenings open and weekends open!! I have pets myself as home and pet care fits into my routine very naturally. Thankfully I have family to help out with my pets when I’m not there and can give full care to other pets when needed! I have grown up having dogs my entire life (Also having chickens, geese, and bunnies). Being a pet owner gives perspective in terms of creating a sound environment. When I go on vacation or need someone to care for my animals, I look for qualities that many others would. Trust, responsibility, and genuine care. When roles reverse, I behold these qualities to ensure that whoever I am caring for receives this level of comfort from these qualities.
“Alani was awesome with drop ins for our cat. We were very nervous leaving our cat home for the first time, but Alani helped ease our minds with great communication and pictures! Thank you again!”
About: I have been training dogs for over 30 years and am experienced in virtually every discipline of dog training. What began as a hobby quickly became a passion when I realized how rewarding it was to help dogs and their owners build stronger relationships. During my career with the Fire Department, I was selected to join the Special Operations Team. Recognizing the value of working dogs in emergency situations, I approached the Chief with the idea of creating an Urban Search and Rescue K9 Unit. With his support, I developed the program and began training alongside a master trainer who guided us through the rigorous FEMA certification process. At the same time, I attended a Positive Reinforcement training school, which gave me a well-rounded understanding of canine behavior and learning. The combination of FEMA standards, positive reinforcement methods, and real-world working dog experience provided me with a complete training philosophy that I continue to use today. I later became the Special Operations K9 Unit Leader and Head Trainer, working closely with FEMA evaluators and trainers while developing and maintaining high training standards for working dogs. Today, I apply that same knowledge to helping family pets, service dogs, working dogs, and dogs struggling with behavioral issues. My training programs are built around clear communication, trust, and understanding. I specialize in quickly assessing a dog's temperament, reading body language, identifying problem behaviors, and developing customized training plans that help owners achieve their goals. What truly sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs. Dogs naturally respond to patience, understanding, and consistency. My goal is to make training an enjoyable and rewarding experience for both you and your dog while creating a lasting bond built on trust and respect. Whether you're raising a new puppy, working through behavioral challenges, preparing a service dog, or simply looking to strengthen your relationship with your dog, I am committed to helping you succeed. Im a 24 7 dog person. Training never stops. A dog likes consistency and a routine. They know when its time to get up in the morning and time to go to bed at night. My life revolves around dogs and Training. Whenever a dog comes to me I begin with taking it to a quiet room, give it a message while feeding it treats. This method has worked for me for a long time. It helps the dog relax and begin to trust me. After that we're usually best friends.
About: I have had 2 dogs in my household for the past 10 years, I feel like I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to caring for animals. Currently home for the summer from college, I have open availability for the time being. I’m open to doing any times that are needed for care. Make sure that they are cared for properly based on the owners rules and keeping them happy at the same time. Make some furry friends while doing so🙂
About: Been around animals my whole life, went to a college for vet tech for a short period, love caring for all types of animals, my cat would agree! I work from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m around a majority of the day, but after 5 pm, I’m especially yours! I have a beautiful cat of my own but always grew up with both cats and dogs! I love walking dogs, playing fetch, and an excessive amount of belly rubs

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lakeville on Rover is $32.1 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,266 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakeville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lakeville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Lakeville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
