About: Hello! We are an active family with a young son and an almost three year old Aussie Doodle named Marley and our newest addition is a cat named Moon. When it is nice out, you will find us outside! Marley loves having other dogs around whether it be a playmate or a snuggle buddy. Moon is usually hiding and can be kept in a separate area of the house, if needed. My partner and I have opposite schedules and Grandparents that double as babysitters. That means there is someone at the house the majority of the time to help take special care of your pet. We can be pretty flexible with drop off and pick up times. We have lots of love to give out and they will be pampered on their doggy vacation! I can also accommodate if your dog would prefer them to be the only pet in the house. Marley frequently stays at his Grandparent's house and plays with his Cousin- Pongo :) If it is your first time booking with me, use promo code KIMS56130 for $20 off.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. I grew up in a family that always had dogs, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I share my home with two wonderful dogs—a Cocker Spaniel and a Bulldog—who keep life fun, active, and full of love. Over the years, I've gained experience raising two puppies of different breeds, giving me a strong understanding of puppy care, training consistency, socialization, and the patience that young dogs need as they grow and learn. I've also cared for senior dogs, including administering medications and accommodating age-related mobility and health needs. In addition, I have experience working with special-needs and disabled dogs, and I understand the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care tailored to each dog's unique situation. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved—just like they do with you. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care I would want for my own pets! I am currently not working a set schedule so I have plenty of time for all of your pet care needs! I can do house sitting, dog walking and drop ins on any day of the week. When I stay in someone’s home to care for their pet, I will treat it with the upmost respect, leaving it better than I found it. I am clean, respectful and responsible.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. My experience caring for pets began when I was a toddler and has continued throughout every stage of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals and have built lasting relationships with many happy clients who trust me with their beloved pets time and time again. One of the first things people notice about me when animals are around is just how much I genuinely love and adore them. Whether it’s stopping to say hello to a dog on a walk, earning the trust of a shy cat, or spending extra time making sure a pet feels comfortable and loved, caring for animals is something that comes naturally to me. My home is filled with furry family members, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs. I have my own dog and currently live with two dogs and five cats, so I understand the daily commitment, patience, and attention that excellent pet care requires. From energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime to independent cats who appreciate a calm and caring presence, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I don’t see pet care as just a job—it’s something I truly enjoy. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will treat them like family, not just another appointment on a schedule. I take the time to learn their routines, understand their quirks, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is not only to give pet owners peace of mind, but to make sure their pets are happy, relaxed, and excited to see me again. When your pet is in my care, they receive the same level of attention, affection, and dedication that I give my own. Pet sitting is a part-time job for me, which allows me to maintain a fairly flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs and can often work with a variety of schedules, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, I make it a priority to provide dependable care, timely communication, and plenty of attention for every pet. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to discuss availability and find a solution that works for both you and your pet. Safety is always my top priority when caring for pets in a client’s home. Before walks, I make sure collars, harnesses, and leashes fit properly and are securely fastened. I’m careful when entering and leaving the home to ensure doors are closed so pets can’t accidentally escape. If pets have access to a fenced yard, I always check that gates are closed and the area is secure before letting them outside. During walks, I stay aware of our surroundings and do not allow dogs to approach unfamiliar dogs, helping avoid unnecessary stress or potential conflicts. Along with keeping pets safe, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistency with their normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: I've always been a huge animal lover and have grown up with pets my entire life. Being around animals has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I've cared for many pets for family and friends over the years, from energetic puppies who love to play to older pets who just want some extra attention and cuddles. While I was in college, I also spent time volunteering at an animal shelter, which gave me experience working with animals of all different personalities and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I recently graduated from college and have a pretty flexible schedule right now. I’m currently applying for jobs, but that gives me plenty of time to spend with and care for your pets! I’m happy to work around my other responsibilities to meet your pet’s needs and make sure they get lots of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. When caring for pets, I always try to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether I'm in your home or spending time with your pet throughout the day, I'll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of love.
“We have booked several times for drop ins and Whitney is the only person we trust with our fur babies and our home. Every time we leave town, one of the first things we do is book her. She is so great with our babies, works with us, great communication and always keeps us in the loop. She doesn’t just do the bare minimum when she drops by, she spends time with the animals and goes above and beyond. Seriously takes so much stress from leaving home and we look forward to booking next time!”

“Jaci is wonderful with my little baby. She always goes above and beyond to make sure my puppy is comfortable and well fed. I travel a lot so I try to book her as often as I can. I don’t know what I would do without her!”

About: Hi, my name is Ava and I have been pet sitting since middle school. I have taken care of dogs from senior labs to crazy huskies.

I love animals and have no problems reading body language. I am reliable and will answer my phone if contacted during the service. I am also a pet parent myself!
“Lucy is a very kind person, and my dogs love her. She comes and walks them twice a week when I’m busy with school and they are SO happy to get to spend some time outside with her. She sends photos and gives me little updates on them, and it makes me feel better about leaving my big, grown up babies.”


“We were very happy Cindy was able to help us out. Cindy took the time for a meet and greet before. They got a long great. When Cindy stopped, she text us and sent photos of her visit. We will definitely use Rover and Cindy again! Thank you”

About: I've been taking care of my own animals since I was 8 years old. I grew up with multiple pets in my house hold. I raised a chinchilla to be 18 and my oldest dog was almost 16. Our family recently moved to the area and I’m just getting back into Rover. I'm currently a teacher so I have plenty of time to check in on your animal(s). I have a flexible schedule in the summer so I will try to work with your schedule. I am able to check in on your animal(s), give them attention, take them for a walk, and feed them/give them potty breaks. If there is bad weather or the animal needs extra attention (for longer periods of time) they can hang out in my home with me. I have three friendly golden dogs!
About: I’ve cared for several, high-energy, hunting dogs for the past 10 years and grew up with a dog too. From puppies to adults and senior too. These are my and my husband’s babies and I will treat your pets with the same respect and care as I would my own. I work a full-time job that is three, 12-hour shifts a week and every third weekend. The days vary every week. I will be available almost all day on my free days. Every pet is different and requires different needs. I care for them individually and respectfully to make them happy and comfortable. Exercise is important too and I make sure they get their fair share of exercise too.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeville
David did an amazing job communicating prior to, and during our time away that he watched our dogs. The dogs had a great time with him and really seemed to take a liking to him quickly! Will absolutely use David in the future and highly recommend him if you need someone you can trust with your animals!

I just utilized Michelle for a long weekend for my Lab for x3 visits per day. She is full of great energy! When we came home my lab was happy and acted like we’d been gone for a few hours instead of days! Michelle made the separation during a trip enjoyable for everyone. I will definetly look her up for future walks and drop in visits

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.
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 Lakeville 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
