About: Hello! I have owned all sorts of dogs from small bichons to big, old English sheep dogs. I have a fenced back yard, and also live close to a nice walking path. After losing my beloved Rosie after 15 1/2 years, I am ready for an occasional dog fix :) I am a retired teacher. When I am not traveling, I will have time to help with your dog-sitting needs. I look forward to meeting your dog. I have a fenced yard, and a home that we live primarily on one level. My home is pet-friendly and on a pretty quiet street.
“Adrianna has done one extended stay and one drop in with our 3 dogs- plus our foster dog. We do not have easy dogs. She has been great. Definitely understands how to work with dogs of different temperaments. She is quick to respond and has always followed through and been on time.”
“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 dogs/cats my whole life and love working with them! Experience in walking, pet sitting and check ins on pets. You should be able to step away without stress! Your paws are in good hands. :) I’m currently in my career don’t let that fool you! I am an early riser and a would love to be able to check in or walk your furry friend as early at 4am! Weekends and flexible! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and trustworthy environment where every dog is treated like family. Whether we're out for a walk or relaxing at home, you'll have peace of mind knowing your pup is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away!
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.
“Claire was absolutely professional, responsive, and supportive with our request. Nothing is better than a sitter that’s understanding and responsive, 10/10 would recommend booking Claire if you need someone to watch your pets!”
“Julia was fantastic! This was my first full experience with Rover, and Julia could not have done anything better. Great communication, lots of pictures, she even saw a potential concern with one of my cats that I already knew about but pointed it out to me. She was terrific and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for all kinds of animals, so I knew Rover would be the perfect opportunity for me. I currently have two golden retrievers named Winnie and Willow. Growing up I always had dogs as well so taking care of them is really familiar to me. I can’t wait to meet your animals! I currently have a part time job so I have a lot of extra time to care for your animals. I am available for walks or in home visits. I will always treat every animal like they are my own. Their safety and happiness is my number one concern. I will provide a detailed update after each visit.
“Lisa and Drew did a great job caring for our dog. We appreciated all of the photo updates and reaching out with questions about how to keep our dog cool in the heat and if he had any issues with storms. We would gladly use them again! Thank you!”
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs and you will receive tons of pictures throughout the day! We have flexible jobs where we can work from home so your dog will always have someone to hang out with. Our house has a very large fenced in backyard where the critters can run around and chase all the rabbits and squirrels out. Your pup will have full access to the entire house including all of the furniture and beds. Please let us know if you would like to set up a meet and greet to ensure that all our furry critters get along. In addition, we are members of the Horse and Hunt club and often take our hunting dogs. If you’re interested, we would be happy to take your hunting dog with to horse and hunt to run fields and get them on birds. Cost would be a daily visit plus cost of birds. We basically schedule our days around dogs and their daily needs. Just let us know what their routine is and we will stick with what they’re used to. My husband and I both work hybrid/remote and someone will always be home with the dogs to hang out with them, let them out, etc.
“Jennifer continues to be wonderful with my dog Louie! She takes him on walks a few days a week and spends time with him. She is an excellent communicator and really appreciate the updates she gives after seeing Louie. Jennifer is fantastic and really trust her with my dog!”
“Sarah was fantastic! She dropped in a few days to let my dog out during the day. Sarah gave descriptions of how it went and sent a few photos along as well. Definitely would use her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Alex, and I’d love to be your dog’s next best friend! ❤️🐶 Animals have been a huge part of my life from day one—my dad was a veterinarian, we had multiple cats and dogs at home and I spent much of my childhood helping out in his clinic. That early experience gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, and most of all—a serious soft spot for furry friends. Sorry scaly guys, you just aren’t for me. ❌🐍🦎 I’ve had many different breeds in my home and I currently have a sweet English Setter who loves to run and snuggle as much as I do. I’ve helped potty train and teach basic obedience to my puppies, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs and understand their needs. Whether it’s a long walk, a drop-in visit, or a cozy day at my home, your pup will be treated like family—spoiled with love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs. I’m an active person and a runner, so if your dog loves to get outside and burn energy, I’m your girl! I offer: ✅ Afternoon or weekend dog walking ✅ Afternoon or weekend drop-ins ✅ Limited boarding (non-reactive dogs and kid-friendly dogs only – I have two young children at home) I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment and truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I promise to treat them with the same care and love I give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐾 I work school hours giving me flexibility to care for your dog in the early morning, mid afternoon or evening during the school year and greater flexibility during the summer months. I have limited availability for boarding during the week but please inquire with specific times. I hope to become a part of your pet care routine. I treat your pet as my own. I ensure a secure leash when walking and I have a fenced in yard at my home in a quiet residential area. I am also able to crate your pet as needed.
About: I have 1 dog, Bullet a golden retriever of my own. We also have 2 cats. Bullet is very friendly and loves to play. We often go to a park where he can run around and play. Sometimes we go swimming at the beach to play fetch. He is always supervised and is not allowed to wander. We also have a fenced in yard where he can hang out and relax in. He is always on a leash when we take walks around our neighborhood. I believe in safety and security when it comes to my pets and any pets I am taking care of. Bullet is very lovable and playful with all dogs that are friendly back to him. Thank you for taking time to read all this!
“Perla did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for 11 days. She took time to send us photos every day and took great care of keeping up on their food/water/litterbox. Our cats are normally very shy and took to her immediately, I will 100% use her services in the future 😊”
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 in 2022 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 two friendly golden dogs!

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 $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 October 2026, there are 5,295 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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
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.
