“Maddie was spectacular! Able to help on short notice, flexible and was very thorough and followed every detail to the letter. I'm pretty easygoing, but I honestly believe Maddie could work for anyone - high needs pets would absolutely be safe in her hands. She was communicative and I never once worried about my cats in her care.”
About: I have worked at a dog boarding facility in the past, as well as pet sitting! I have experience giving medication and with special diets. I am comfortable with younger pets up to senior pets! I am responsible and responsive! I currently have a full time job Monday-Thursday, so I am looking for pet care work Friday-Sunday! There is an option to provide morning walks every day of the week. I will be very respectful of your home and space while caring for your pet. I don’t offer pet care in my home, because I have a cat.

“Carolyn was absolutely amazing with Sissy! She took the time to make sure Sissy was well cared for, making sure she was fed, let out for potty breaks, and given plenty of outdoor time to play and explore. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was, ensuring Sissy had every opportunity to go potty and get the exercise and attention she needed. Carolyn was also very communicative throughout the entire process, which gave me great peace of mind. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, and her flexibility and reliability were truly appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared about Sissy's well-being and happiness. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Sissy!”
About: Growing up I lived on a farm. I had pigs, chickens, rabbits, ducks, dogs and cats. I have always had a love for animals of any kind. I’m currently a stay at home mom. With that being said I would be able to take care of your pet at any hour through out the day. I have a fenced in yard at my house because I have 2 dogs of my own. If I were to come to your house to take care of your dog, I would be sure to take the dog out on a leash so that the dog doesn’t run off.
About: Boarding- No longer offering boarding services. Drop in visits at your home- Flexible schedule and cats are welcome also! Play time, walk, feeding, bathing are all welcome activities. I love animals of all types and look forward to caring for you for baby. No dog to small or big, I love all equally! 3 years of experience fostering for the Warsaw Animal Shelter including expecting mommas, newborns, bottle feeding, and special needs. My home is flexible to your pets needs. If quiet and slow are needed more than running and exercise we will adapt. All ages from puppy to senior will be well cared for. In your home visits and walks only. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Thanks!
“Janet was terrific. She worked out our timing and took great care of our Gracie. We felt comfortable leaving and when we walked in the door Gracie was a happy girl. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up on a small farm with a few farm animals along with a couple family dogs. I also worked at a dog boarding and training facility. While working there I gained a lot of knowledge about our fury friends. I can administer oral medicines, complete various types of meals, and watch for social cues I’m familiar with. I do not own any dogs of my own currently. My partner and I have a cat. She gets fed on a schedule, lots of playtime, and of course lots of snuggles. I miss working at the boarding facility and having daily interactions with amazing animals. I look forward to meeting your sweet pups. In my experience with animals I’ve learned to be very observant. I can keep an eye out for social cues while having fun and caring for your fur babies.
About: I have dog sat since high school and have always had a positive experience with it. Your babies will be loved on and cared for like they are mine. I have a dog and a cat who are spoiled! Your animals will be cared for so you don’t have to worry while you are off, because I am just as protective over my own! I worked at a K-9 training facility so I am very experienced with taking care of animals and cleaning up after them. I also worked at a grooming company for an internship and got to experience bathing, brushing and combing dogs! I also have experience with cats, as I just got one myself. I am also experienced with giving medication. Right now, pet sitting is my only gig so your animals will be taken care of and I will spend my time loving on them! Sometime in the near future I plan on becoming a substitute teacher, but for right now I really want to work with animals. I have a fenced in yard, it is pretty small but enough room for dogs to go potty. I have a very friendly, 3 year old Golden Retriever (Baker) and his best friend is a cat (Henry) who we recently adopted.
“Andrea was great. She kept me updated and informed, spent plenty of time playing and loving on my 2 cats. It gave me peace of mind having Andrea check in on my fur babies while I was away.”
About: I have owned pets all my life and always hated boarding my pets due to the stress they endure thats why I offer my services. I also offer care for cats and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs ect. As of right now I am available anytime. Ive worked at vet clinics and volunteered at shelters. Ive taken care of senior dogs, hyper and young dogs. Also have administered meds to animals. Recently I have watched farm animals such as chickens,goats,horses and a Llama. I currently have 4 dogs of my own and 2 of my moms dogs. We have 1 cat. Ive had several dogs and 2 other cats in the past as well as 2 rabbits. I also have been petsitting since 2012 and have refrences. I do walks with dogs. I also offer nail trims, brush outs ECT. If you would like to know more please message me and I would be happy to answer. I do also have a Facebook page Howling Hounds Pet Care. Unfortunately my prices have increased due to Rover taking 20%. Please note i am willing to work with people on pricing if contacted PRIOR to services. I am currently doing this as my full time employment as I go to school for pet grooming in the spring. I am an owner to 4 crazy beagles so I know what it's like to make sure pets have the stress free environment when we are gone. All pet care is done in the client's home. This creates more calmness within the pet and less stress. They can be where they are used to.
About: I have had 2 dogs my entire life. A golden retriever and german shepherd. I also have been a dog sitter for a family the past couple years. I potty trained our golden retriever and all the tricks she knows. I am currently a college student at Taylor University and I play volleyball. I am currently out for the summer looking for some jobs to dog sit! I spend all my time with the pets in my clients home. Whether it be sitting or walking them. My puppy at home usually sleeps with me and I feed both my dogs every day and take them on walks
“I highly recommend Abbigail! I was able to book her for a drop-in on very short notice. I could tell my dog was comfortable with her and she has experience with big dogs. She was communicative and took lots of pictures!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 293 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Silver Lake. 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 Silver Lake 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.
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 Silver Lake. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
