About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently have a hybrid work schedule and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 11 and still care for them currently. I have also grown up with my friends dogs, as well as my grandparents dogs. My best friend has two dogs over 100 pounds that I am with often! I have also volunteered at Portage County Animal Protective League back in middle school, where my aunt works. I have also cat sitted for my aunt numerous times! I have nothing but passion and empathy for all animals. :) I am currently a student at Kent State University, and I work part time in retail. I only have classes for a few hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This schedule will make it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine! I will treat your home with care as if it were my own, as well as your fur babies. To me, animals are family and deserve the best.
“We had the best experience with Maria! She watched our cat for us for 1 week while we were out of town & it could not have gone any better. She dropped by twice a day, gave our cat plenty of love & affection, & sent us lots of pics & updates while we were away which we appreciated so much. Our cat can be very shy but she warmed up to Maria almost instantly & we knew she was in the best care while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Maria again & would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their furry friend :)”
About: I love all dogs! I have had dogs growing up and have had a dog my whole life. I genuinely love to care for pups and they bring me so much joy! I am a counselor and work at a school and also work from home. I am available more often during school breaks and in the summer! I go on several walks and provide a comfortable living space for them. I also have a fenced in area in your dog would enjoy to run without a leash!
“Responsive and easy to schedule. Good communication. We met and they spent time with my dog. When they care for her, they provide nice notes of what they did and shared pictures. Will use them again for drop in walks and pet sitting.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends pets since I was 15 years old. Cats and Dogs of all sizes. I love spending time with animals and I’d love to help take care of your furry loved ones! I have a very flexible schedule! I work part time as a Doordasher, so I will be able to schedule my dashes around clients needs! Im unable to care for pets in my home. My living situation doesn’t allow it, but when I’m at clients home I learn how they care for their pets and I enjoy getting acquainted with pets and understanding their personalities.
About: My name is Holly. I am an animal lover! I grew up on a farm, so I am familiar with care of many types of animals. I have never not had a dog in my life. I have a flexible schedue, own my own home, work remotely full-time , and am very dependable. When house sitting, i do prefer stays less than 4 days, but willing to consider longer stays. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your furry loved ones! Why I love dog sitting I have had at least 1 dog my whole life. I've had breeds ranging from Chihuahuas, to Boxers, to Bull Terriers. Dogs are a blessing and I love having them in my life. I will administer pills and liquid drops, but not shots. I work remotely, so I am fully available to your pet. No children or anyone else in the house, so if your dog or cat needs a relaxing stay, I can provide that.
“Erin was super helpful by walking me through my first time using Rover. She was unfazed on my over sharing every detail about my dogs by being professional and providing the care they needed. Erin was on time and had great communication throughout her time with my pups!”
“Katrina was great with our girl! She came to take her out halfway through the day. We told her that if she wanted to walk our girl, she could but it was not necessary! Our girl got more than 1/2 a mile walk and was super happy when we got home!!!!”
About: I have been working in the veterinary field for six years now. I’ve been working with all kinds of animals. So I am willing to check in on anything from reptiles to dogs and cats! I currently work three days ( Thursday-Saturday). But I would still be able to drop in and checking on your pets! Can also make time to take them on a walk/ hike if need for the high energy doggies I currently live in an apartment so unfortunately I am unable to have other animals here. But I do have two very spoiled dogs of my own also have a leopard gecko of my own!!
About: Throughout my years of pet sitting, I've had the opportunity to care for dogs of all kinds, including those who tend to get a little anxious. I've learned how to handle their needs with extra care and attention, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable during their stay. I'm experienced in administering medications on a strict schedule, so you can trust that your pet's health is my top priority. My goal is to make the entire process as smooth as possible for both you and your pet. Whether it's creating a soothing environment, sticking to medication routines, or just providing plenty of pets and love, I'm dedicated to making this a positive experience for everyone involved. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. Let me know how your preferences and we can collaborate to come up with a plan you would be comfortable with! I love dogs and I would treat them as if they were my own. I know that it can be nerve wrecking to leave your pet in the hands of someone else (especially someone you don't know). I would love to help alleviate any nerves by sending daily photos and updates.
About: I’ve taken care of animals basically my whole life! I’ve never had a period of time without a cat and/or dog in my house (as well as fish and hermit crabs!). Ever since I’ve been able to, I helped care for the family pets (walking, grooming, feeding etc). Now I have two kitties that I love very much! I also used to walk my neighbors’ dogs about 10 years ago when I was 13 and all throughout high school. Additionally, I’ve done longer term pet sitting for friends going on trips several times. I take care of my animals everyday of course! I feed my cats daily, clean their litter boxes everyday, and make sure their water fountain is full. Weekly they get brushed, and they get baths as needed. I will comply to whatever your house rules are! Whatever your fur babies need, I’m here for! I want to make sure they are happy, healthy and their needs are met. My goal is to keep your space nice and clean and your pets content and cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Silver Lake
Katie was awesome! She took great care of our dog, Twix, and our cat, Kylo. She made time to lay with them, walk Twix, and made sure they were both fed and hydrated. She also took awesome pictures of our boys and sent them to us with updates. If you’re looking for a sitter, I’d recommend Katie!
So glad I came across Lindsay, I had to head out of town last minute and she came in clutch. We weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand but we were able to figure something out and everything turned out fine. Will definitely keep her mind for the future!
Riley is such a big help to me. I had never used this App before and was a bit nervous. She made it easy and accommodated a meet and greet. Riley has been up for every challenge. As one of my dogs was recovering from surgery and the other is a very energetic German shepherd puppy. She is always willing to help in anyway that she can with both of their needs. I am so happy to have found this App and Riley. I would and do definitely recommend her.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Silver Lake is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 October 2026, there are 2,395 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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 Silver Lake 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
