“She was fantastic. Communication was easy and clear from start to finish. She understood how to handle huskies and the interactions were smooth. She even cleaned up the mess because one of my dogs got sick in his crate. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals! I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, insects, and more! I take great pride in providing exactly what each pet needs :) I can work up to 6-8 hours at a time on a set schedule, so I'm not the best fit for every household, but I do everything I can to keep routines for your little (or big!) friends! I will happily make multiple trips a day when possible for the pets that need to checked on consistently--let's discuss! I am known for being punctual and will stick as close to your normal schedule as possible to keep your pets happy and healthy! When housesitting, I typically only leave for work. This means your pets get plenty of human interaction!! I am as flexible as possible when it comes to drop-ins. I am happy to do multiple in a day if needed, I am even willing to do extended times past 1 hour for pets that need a lot of attention but not overnight care!
About: I was always designated the family dog trainer. I have always loved dogs but I am unable to have one of my own. Coincidently I need the exercise. Let me get your pup out and moving. I work full-time during the week, but my schedule is consistent and allows me to plan pet care around my regular responsibilities. I enjoy walking and spending time with dogs, so incorporating pet care into my evenings, and weekends is something I genuinely look forward to. My goal is to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners while providing dependable, consistent care. I believe dogs benefit from calm, confident handling, consistent routines, and clear communication. My approach emphasizes understanding each dog's individual personality, maintaining a safe and structured environment, and making walks an enjoyable, positive experience. I believe trust is built through patience, consistency, and respect for the animal.
“Kendall did an amazing job! She was very communicative, sent pics of our pups, and just all around made us feel so comfortable leaving our pups in her care. We would definitely use Kendall again, the pups loved her and so did we!”
“This was the 2nd time we've asked Kyla to watch after our cat Winston while we were gone. Just like the first time she did an excellent job. We came home to a clean litter box and a happy cat! We even has some wrenches we threw into her scheduled drop ins with fanily staying at our house of and on and Kyla was very flexible. Thanks Kyla!”
“We have been using Franklin and Barbara for daily drop-ins over the past few weeks. They have been prompt with responding and great with letting our puppy out for a bathroom break and feeding. So glad we were able to find them through Rover!”
“Incredible with my pets, clearly spent time with them — picked their favorite toys, actually sat with them and made them very comfortable. Attentive, picks up on the little details, and so personable! Will definitely be looking for her name next time I’m out of town.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lockwood is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $19 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 224 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lockwood. 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 Lockwood. On Rover:
- 93% 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 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.
