“Carrie K took exemplary care of our Rufus and Leia while we were away! They both appeared happy and well adjusted upon my arrival home! We will use them again if available for sure!”
“Amy is fantastic, we have a borderline special needs cat and she did a great job taking care of her, along with the other cats in the house. Easily 10/10 and already rebooked to take care of our pets during our next trip.”
About: I have had many dogs over my lifetime and have two dogs now that are my whole world. I am very good with training and have very good patience with puppies and hyper dogs. I also have experience with taking care of reptiles and small animals such as bunnies, rats and ferrets! I am available most of the day and weekends if necessary. I can do evenings and mornings. I do have a toddler that I may need to bring some days. I have a fenced backyard and two crates in my basement if your pet needs to be crated. I have two medium sized dogs that are very good with other dogs. Both my dogs are puppy pros so I am open to puppies. I have a cat that keeps to herself and is good with other dogs.
“Shannon was fantastic with our pups! We were a last minute booking due to other plans falling through and I couldn’t have asked for better care for the dogs! She sent us many pictures throughout her 30 minute visit. I knew my dogs were well cared for. I will definitely use Shannon again in the future. :)”
“Jaci is so sweet. I knew during our initial meeting that my sweet girl would be loved on during her drop in. I am so thankful to find someone who is as sweet and patient with an elderly dog as Jaci is. I loved seeing the pictures she sent. I will definitely contact Jaci again.”
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: My entire life I have been surrounded by cats, dogs, and horses. I would cat sit and horse sit for my neighbor, sometimes I would chicken sit for my other neighbors. I have dog sat for my neighbor and helped train his puppy for three weeks while he was away on vacation. I have volunteered with a dog rescue and my family has fostered dogs before, as they have dogs as well. I, myself, have 2 dogs and 5 cats. I also work in a doggy daycare, so I have taking training courses on animal care within my work place, including animal first aid and dog/cat CPR, and constantly working with dogs. I work Monday-Friday during the week, so I am available on the weekends but could potentially make some weekdays work depending on what it is. I ensure pets are fed and taken care of, any messes that need to be taken care of I clean up, litter boxes, etc. All pets are always given love and the best care.

“Jennifer is the absolute best! When my kid had left a pet mess behind before school, Jennifer cleaned it up for me, and also emptied the litter box for me, without me asking!! I am blown away by her kindness, and desire not to leave me with it when I was coming home from a work trip! So very much appreciated!”
“Nicole did an excellent job making us feel comfortable with our first Rover drop in. My big boy is a huge fan now! I highly recommend her because she will treat your fur baby like her own and her formal training is a huge asset.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have a passion to make sure they get to love their life to the fullest. My dream is to own a hobby farm full of adopted dogs! I work Monday-Friday but have a flexible schedule and would love to fit your pet in when I can! I would love to spend all of my free time caring for your fur baby. I have two fur babies at home who love making new friends! I will care for your pet in my home or yours in any way that will make your pet feel like nothing has changed.
About: I am also a pet sitter on the app TrustedHouseSitters and really enjoy the journey of pet sitting! I grew up LOVING dogs but was never allowed one and only grew up with cats & a bearded dragon of my own, so I would only get the chance to be with dogs when it came to friends having them. As I got older and attained my own place, I took it upon myself to dog sit for my friends, family, and sometimes neighbors. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, in my home and their homes as well. The longest I have dog sat is for a year for a family friend while they were away in the military. (The dog was untrained and very hard to take care of lol) I have an unconditional love for all animals! I am a fashion model and a brand ambassador, so my work is all very flexible and I get to decide when I will work. When saying in home and taking care of your pet, I will take all the precautions and needs that are to be provided to your pet seriously.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeville
It’s been several weeks since Sydney started watching our pups and I cannot say enough amazing things about her! She takes the absolute best care of our pups, is so sweet, and makes sure she shares the best photos. She always leaves the leashes and collars nice and neat when she is done for the day. She is the best!!
I’ve never used drop-in pet sitting services before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Nelly absolutely exceeded my expectations! She went above and beyond with both the care she provided and her communication. Her updates were detailed, thoughtful, and reassuring. She clearly takes a lot of pride in what she does, and it really shows in the quality of her service. I will absolutely be using her again! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy who truly goes the extra mile for their pets. 5 stars for sure!
We loved working with Katie! She was so dependable, good at communicating with us and took great care of our 3 cats every day so that we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We highly recommend Katie for others who want peace of mind that their pets are being well cared for!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lakeville is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 5,294 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lakeville. 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 Lakeville. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
