About: Dedicated pet caregiver since childhood, growing up on a farm which provided me with extensive, hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I am highly proficient and deeply comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, from active puppies to senior dogs needing special attention. Friends and family have trusted me completely with their pets for years. My approach is rooted in reliability, positive reinforcement, and specialized attention, ensuring every dog in my care receives a safe, happy, and structured stay tailored to their individual needs. I am currently working part-time, which allows me to offer consistent and focused attention to my pet guests.I am generally available for walks and drop-ins after 2:00 PM. I have plenty of dedicated time to play, exercise, and cuddle with your pups! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure reliable, timely care that adheres perfectly to your pet's routine. I care for every pet in my home with the same dedication and high standards I use for my own animals. I am highly experienced in recognizing pet distress, administering medications, and following complex routines, skills honed both on the farm and in my own home. I ensure every stay is safe, structured, and stress-free, treating your pet as a valued member of my temporary family.

Claire made sure both my kitties were cared for and happy. She was even able to find my skittish kitty who likes to hide under the bed. Provided on-time visits and photos to hold me over till I got home. Great experience!

Caraline was great with our two cats! She was very responsive the whole time and provided great updates and pictures! She also saw that our cats have very different personalities and she tailored her care for both of them. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a baby, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve always been the trusted friend or family member to pet sit, and I truly love animals. I’m patient, caring, and enjoy making every dog feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether we’re relaxing at home or enjoying a nature walk, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. currently work as an Amazon delivery driver four days a week and teach virtual English classes on weekend mornings. I have three days off each week and am available for dog walks on those days, as well as before or after work when possible. I love being outdoors and enjoy giving dogs fun, safe, and active walks. I have a large, fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog if your pup enjoys having company. Whether you’d prefer your dog stay at my home or be cared for in the comfort of yours, I’m happy to accommodate your preferences. I’m very flexible and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

Michelle did a great job caring for our family member Lily. She was great about communication and I could tell she was really trying to make sure Lily ate while we were gone and even gave her a little preventative medicine when she noticed Lily eating grass. Lily seem to do much better at home than in a kennel being boarded so I’m sure we will definitely use Michelle again for future trips. I would highly recommend from Michelle.

About: I've been dog sitting for about 3 years and currently work at Camp Bow Wow, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job includes monitoring dog behavior, feeding, cleaning, and making sure every dog is safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm patient, dependable, and experienced with energetic puppies and senior dogs. I treat every pet like they're my own and always provide loving care. I currently work part-time, but I make pet care a priority. On the days I'm working, I'll be there before and after my shift to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and love. With advance notice, I can often request days off to provide care. I'll always communicate my schedule clearly so you know exactly what to expect. I have over three years of dog sitting experience and currently work at Camp Bow Wow, where I care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities every day. I always follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, loving, and stress-free environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: My family has 2 dogs, one we’ve had for almost 10 years and another we’ve had for about 2 years. I have been watching dogs in my neighborhood for about 10 years. I have mostly conducted drop in visits but have walked dogs on occasion. For a little over 2 years I worked at a doggy daycare where I gained experience administered medications to dogs. Drop-ins and walks can easily be fit into my schedule. I can sometimes be flexible with times but days are set in stone. If something comes up or I feel I will be late for a drop-in or walk I will be sure to let you know as soon as possible. For drop-ins I will follow requests as closely as I can. If there is any medication that needs to be administered I am unfortunately only comfortable administering oral medications. With walks I can either bring my own bags or you can provide them just let me know in advance. For both of these services I require a meet and greet before the services begin so that you dog(s) can become familiar with me and we can go over any necessary info.

About: I have experience with all different dog breeds and sizes. I know great helpful training techniques. Also, I grew up living with dogs up until now. I have a full time Hybrid job. I work from home 3 days a week and the workload has been fairly light. I currently live with no furry friends and am missing the connection with them. I want to hold off on adopting right now so I thought the best way to fulfill my wants of having a dog will be through this app. I have no fenced in yard or much of a yard at all. My home is spacious though, so there is enough room for your pet to be comfortable and play indoors. I have 3 reptiles that will stay in their tanks and do not cause disruptions. They also love watching other animals from afar.

About: I have helped watch dogs for friends and family for multiple years, and I have been assisting my girlfriend with her Rover for the past year or so. I am taking an online summer college course that doesn't require much time out of my week and has no scheduled meetings. I also have a couple of weekend trips planned this summer and one week-long trip. Weeks are generally very open. I always like to keep the dogs' company and keep them entertained. I will always go on walks if needed and for fun. I love to do tricks and play games.

About: I’ve had a lifetime of experience with all sorts of animals. My mom is a vet and animal lover, and as a result I have grown up around many types of animals like dogs and cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, parrots, and more. I am also a huge animal lover, and will happily care for your pets, making sure they get plenty of love and attention! I work part time, shorter shifts 5 days a week, so I’m rarely available in the mornings except for Thursdays, when I’m always available! I’m happy to help take care of your fur babies, and I’ll always do my best to fit it in with my schedule and your own. Care and safety will always come first for me. I will make sure to meet your needs as well as your animal’s needs, all while ensuring safety and happiness by any means possible!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lockport on Rover is $18.87 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 7,128 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lockport. 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 Lockport 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.

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 Lockport 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 .

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.

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.

To find sitters in Lockport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lockport. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
