“I would give Lori 10,000 stars if possible; she is absolutely THE BEST!! Our little Shih Tzu, Molly, took to her immediately, and that is unusual for Molly. While we were away, Lori checked in to let us know all was well so we could relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing Molly was in good hands. Lori is kind and gentle, and it is obvious she loves fur babies. We will definitely contact Lori again when we are in the North Canton area!!! Thank you again, Lori. You're wonderful!”
“Anna was awesome watching our dog and house!! It made it easier traveling knowing she was watching our golden! She sent lots of pics! I will be using her again and would recommend to anyone!”
About: I have been providing pet sitting/walking services since 2016, with experience caring for animals of various ages and needs, including senior dogs and young kittens. I currently provide recurring cat sitting care for Stella, a Ragdoll, on a quarterly basis. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized attention when caring for pets. My priority is to ensure every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their routines and meeting their individual needs. I also strive to provide pet owners with peace of mind through dependable, attentive care and clear communication. As an animal lover, I am committed to treating every pet with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, so I’m available for early morning dog walks/drop ins at 6:00 or 7:00 AM any day of the week. I’m also available for walks, drop in visits, and pet care anytime after 5:00 PM Monday-Friday. I understand that every pet and owner has different needs, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for everyone. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that fits into your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend, so feel free to reach out with any questions or booking requests. I look forward to meeting you both! I prefer caring for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar space where they feel most comfortable. I’m happy to follow your care instructions and keep their routines as consistent as possible. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s keeping them company, giving them extra attention, or making sure all their needs are met, I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and at ease. I’ll always treat your home with respect and your pets like family!
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, a horse, hamsters…. Just about any pet you could imagine. I love them all. I’ve taken care of not only my own animals but also those of friends, neighbors and family. I’ve potty trained several of my own dogs as well as palliative care for older dogs. I am an older guy with time on my hands. I really enjoy being with animals. I would like to spend the majority of my day giving attention and care when owners feel they need a little help. I treat all animals with empathy, kindness and love. My animals are cared for 24 hours a day. Play and fun are as important as food and water.
“Tamela did an amazing job of watching our dog Forrest for us! She was very attentive and gave us updates while we were gone to put my anxiety at ease! Highly recommend her and will definitely be utilizing her care going forward!”
“Anika was wonderful! She provided great care for our dogs while we were away. Making sure to keep us updated right away. They clearly enjoyed their time with her and received lots of attention and love. She went above and beyond to help when we needed it, and we would gladly book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Mariah is amazing!! She took such good care of our girl Wrigley. She’s sweet, attentive kind & very easy to communicate with! Also, she is a huge animal lover! We will definitely have her back and recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!”
“We have two rescues that have had rough pasts. Marissa was able to come to our home for a weekend stay with very little experience with them. We received check ins & they seemed content when we arrived home. We also came home to a clean house!”
“Ms. Konnie was awesome. She loved my babies as if they were her own. She followed my schedule for the babies. I received the cutest updates with pictures and videos daily. My babies were given all the cuddles in the world. On a side note, Ms. Konnie stayed on my house for a full week and left it in the same condition as when I left. I am very fortunate for her and absolutely plan on using her in the future.”
“Dave took the time to meet with my dogs 3 times before coming to house sit for a weekend to make sure both dogs were comfortable with him staying. Dave handled both rescue Germans shepherds greatly! He even came back when my travel plans changed to make sure the dogs got dinner and night time exercise.”
“Maria was outstanding. My cats were chill and happy when I arrived home. She even refilled my bird feeders. Much gratitude for her love and care of Bodhi and Bear. Will definitely use again and highly recommend 💜”
“Kambree was absolutely amazing with my dog! Updates every day, handled a complicated med schedule, took great care of my house while staying there, and was incredibly kind and flexible. Thank you so much!”
About: I've always believed that dogs aren't "just pets" - they're family. That's why I want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. When I come to your home, I don't want your pup to feel like someone simply stopped by to let them outside. i want them to look forward to seeing me! Whether it's a potty break, a little playtime, some belly rubs, or simply sitting with them and giving them company, I take the time to make their visit special. I'm the person who will notice the little things- if your dog seems extra tired, isn't eating normally, needs extra attention, or just wants someone to sit beside them. I'll follow your instructions and your dog's routine because I know every pup has their own personality and needs. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing that while you're gone, someone caring and dependable is looking after your best friend. I currently work 3 days a week. I self schedule at my other job so I can fit more time in doing what I love, which is caring for pets. I do not offer caring for pets in my home. I have two dogs of my own at my home that I need to be cautious of.
“Michelle watched our babies during our wedding weekend! She was amazing and we were able to relax and really enjoy our wedding without worrying about our babies. We also have a dog with reactive issues and she was great with her. We highly recommend Michelle and our dogs love her!”
About: I’ve owned pets ever since i can remember. My family is a big dog family and i have a blue great dane named brooklynn who is also a registered therapy dog. In her age she’s needed lots of special care such as medications, ointments, and assistance getting up from bed so i am equipped to help with whatever your animals need! I am currently in nursing school, but I’m half online and half in person, so i have a ton of extra time throughout my days to come help care for your pets! I understand every pet is unique and requires special attention. I spend as much time as i can getting to know your pet to provide individualized care to best support them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Silver Lake
We reached out to book Tara after my sister had a wonderful experience with her house sitting and caring for her cat. Tara was very relaxed when we met and it she made me feel very confident in her ability to care for our cat. We had to change our plans because our cat had teeth pulled - he is a senior and needs a lot of coaxing to eat regularly. Tara was great to reassure us that she was used to working with cats that need extra attention. We threw a lot at her and she handled everything with ease. She asked how often we wanted updates and gave us a daily check in and even some photos. Our cat Jinx was very well taken care of - and seemed perfectly content when we arrived back home. It was so nice to be able to be away from home and be at peace knowing she as there at our home to care for our fur baby. I highly recommend Tara for your pet sitting needs!
I seriously cannot say enough good things about Bryeanna! I am the definition of a helicopter pet mom, and leaving my babies is HARD for me. I’m usually the person who goes on vacation and spends half of it worrying about whether everyone is okay, if their routines are being followed, if they miss me, and basically driving myself crazy. Bryeanna completely changed that for me. She followed all of our routines, paid attention to every little detail, sent me updates and pictures, and made me feel so much better about being away. She was incredibly patient with me and never once made me feel like I was being “too much” for worrying about them. For probably the first time ever, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my vacation because I truly knew my babies were safe, happy, loved, and being taken care of exactly the way I wanted. We are 100% booking Bryeanna again. I actually told my husband that from now on, apparently our vacations are going to have to be planned around Bryeanna’s schedule because I don’t know that I’m willing to trust anyone else with them now! Finding someone you genuinely trust with your pets is priceless, especially when they mean as much to you as ours do to us. We are SO thankful we found her. If you’re a fellow helicopter pet parent, do yourself a favor and book Bryeanna. Your pets and your anxiety will thank you.
Devon did such a great job house sitting with our two French Bulldogs. He followed all instructions, sent us thorough updates, lots of photos, and left our home clean. His veterinary experience really made us feel comfortable leaving our animals with him, and we would be happy to book with him again.
We had a great experience with our sitter! She was super friendly and took such good care of Kitty while we were away. We loved getting daily pictures and updates, and it was so nice knowing Kitty was happy and well taken care of. She also brought in our mail and packages and left the house super clean. We would definitely have her sit for us again!
Brooke was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to take care of our older dog including cleaning up after him when he had a few accidents. She was also incredibly flexible with everything we needed or if the schedule we had set changed and it made our vacation so relaxing knowing Jax was so well taken care of while we were gone. We will absolutely use Brooke again in the future and would recommend her to any of our friends and family!
Kara did a fantastic job caring for my pets and our home! We have a pig and a cat and they seem to have taken to her right away! I don’t think we were even missed! Everyone was very happy when we came home. The house looked great. She even watered our garden and handled random house issues with ease. We will definitely use her again!
It was a pleasure to have Alexa stay in our home with Zeke and Zoey for 4 nights while we were out of town. She communicated with us regularly, including pictures and videos of how they were doing, which we really appreciated. We trust her with our pups and our home and hope to have her back in the future. Thanks so much, Alexa!!
We had a great experience with Audrey. She sent daily updates with photos of Kitty, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kitty clearly received lots of love and attention, and it was obvious she was well cared for when we returned home. She was communicative, dependable, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire sit. We especially appreciated how proactive, responsible, and solution-oriented she was in handling an unexpected situation during our trip. Our home was clean when we returned, and we truly felt that both Kitty and our house were in caring hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
We had such a great experience with Isabella watching our three dogs. She was wonderful with communication and kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs were clearly so well cared for and happy when we returned. She even checked in on our son’s gecko, which was incredibly thoughtful and appreciated. We are so grateful for everything she did and would absolutely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Silver Lake is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $72 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Silver Lake walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Silver Lake maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
