“Kaylee was wonderful with our pups... She kept us posted on how they doing, giving them their meds and generally spending some time with them! We'll certainly use her next time! Such a sweet young lady...”

About: Growing up around animals has been amazing. From pet sitting, to just hanging around animals, I have fallen in love with all fur babies. I volunteer at the local animal shelter to play with dogs and cats, take them out on walks, and even go around town looking for their new forever home! During the summer, I just need a heads up and communication! I try not to work my main job on weekends, so if you need anything I’m there! I am free almost all of the time during afternoons. My schedule with school is open throughout the day! At home, I have a fenced in yard for my two dogs who love to just run or swim! The door is always open for them to come in and out.
About: I have experience pet sitting for families I nanny for, especially during holidays and busy weeks, and I’m very comfortable staying overnight in their home to make sure pets feel safe and cared for in their normal environment. I have also house sat for other families where I provided daily care such as feeding, giving fresh water, taking dogs on walks, and making sure they get plenty of potty breaks and attention. I understand how important it is for pet owners to have someone they can trust, and I always treat every home and pet with respect. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily routine! I currently work part-time as a nanny on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. My nanny schedule is very flexible and limited, which allows me to still be available for pet care throughout the day when needed. The rest of the week (Wednesdays, Fridays, weekends) I am completely free, so I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and overnight stays. I’m able to give pets lots of attention and make sure they stick to their normal routine. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate last-minute bookings and provide consistent care for your pets while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my #1 priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I make sure pets are always supervised, cared for, and kept in a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walking routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I also make sure doors and gates stay secure, leashes are properly used on walks, and your pet stays in familiar areas where they feel comfortable. Whether I’m doing a quick drop-in visit or staying overnight, I treat every pet like my own and every home with respect. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy the entire time.

About: I have been a pet sitter for various platforms and have loved my experience of meeting new people and learning about their pets. I would love to get to know you!

I am studying wildlife conservation and have a plethora of experience getting my hands dirty. Pet Care is very important to me. I am in my senior year of college, so I often have services available on days when I do not have classes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in North Lakeside is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 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 328 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Lakeside. 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
