About: I have walked, taken care of overnight, and trained dogs for the past 5 years starting from the puppy stages to older dogs. I also have a dog of my own that I have raised from 6 weeks old and she is now 6 years old. I am very flexible and have tons of time for your pets! Just message me what you need and I will definitely make it happen! I am very playful with dogs when I go to see them. I love going on walks and do playtime with them. I also do not mind bathing, taking them to the park or anything a client can think of that they would like me to do with their dog.

About: I have had pets my whole life, dogs, cats, even rabbits. In the past I volunteered at a dog rescue just to help out and be around dogs until I was ready to get one of my own.i have done short term fosters and am comfortable giving medications and shots if needed. I have a very flexible work schedule and generally make my own schedule most days of the week so I can likely accommodate you and your pets needs. I have a dog of my own that loves other dogs. I have a medium sized crate if you prefer to crate them, otherwise they will have free reign of my apartment, or your place.

About: I am a huge animal person and have been the first to jump to watch a friend or roommate’s pet over the last couple years. I fell in love with animals after having my first childhood dog, and I am very accommodating and sensitive to the different care practices and needs of animals. I have a few years of experience watching animals and I am very responsible and caring. I do not currently have a pet, so yours will receive my full attention! I welcome any kind of size or breed pet and you can feel free to give me as many details that make you feel comfortable. I am very easy to reach and happy to send updates/pictures when you are missing your family member!

About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs from young to old, big to small you name it. I absolutely adore all animals but LOVE dogs!! I have done multiple dog sitting gigs where I spent the night, or stayed for a little. I love taking them for walks or the park if that’s preferred. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends!!! I work 4 days a week usually from 2-9pm but other then that I’m available anytime. My schedule is given for the month so working days change monthly and aren’t set the same every week. Even when I’m working your pets are my top priority and will always be taken care of. I will make sure your pets are always safe and protected if we go on walks even with a leash they are always close. I make sure they eat and drink what there suppose to as well as if they need medication I will make sure they receive it every morning.

“We knew right away that Andrew would be the perfect pet sitter for our pups, Lynyrd Skynyrd and David Bowie. The boys bonded with him immediately which made my "mama heart" soar. We went to New Orleans for a trip and Andrew stepped in and provided the BEST care. The photos he sent captured the boys in true happiness and total contentment. We are going to NYC soon and Andrew will keep them again. Do the right thing and obtain Andrew's services for your puppers; they will have a blast and you will have total peace of mind.”

About: For three years I was a service dog trainer for dogs aged two days to two years. I have also dog sat since I was 14 for dogs of all ages including senior pups. I have had regularly scheduled dog walking jobs as well. I have free time most mornings and each afternoon during the week, along with time available on the weekends and I would love to spend time with some furry friends. Dogs in my home will be taken on walks each morning and evening. I run a few mornings each and if this is something your dog would like to join for that is also an option! I will adhere to any dietary instructions provided for me. Outside of the home I will adhere to any instructions, I am an active person and will of course play and walk your dog as much as wanted!

Bridgette is lovely to work with! She's respectful, kind, communicative, flexible, and just an all-around pleasant person to interact with. :) I'm a Rover sitter myself, so I have high standards when it comes to finding someone I trust with my pets, and Bridgette exceeded my expectations.

Ava was wonderful and attentive to our animals. Our dog was sick and needed lots of medicine for the entire week and she made sure he got what he needed every day at the right time and was comfortable. She gave the kitty snuggles and made sure he stayed inside and was well cared for. She was a great communicator and answered all my questions and check-ins graciously. I'd highly recommend her to anyone.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Silver Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Silver Lake is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 November 2026, there are 1,333 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Silver Lake. 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 Silver Lake. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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.
