Thank you so much for taking care of Bruce in a pinch! Good communicator and was able to figure out how to take care of my dog with little heads up. Thank you! Would recommend to others.

Carrie is the best! She took the time to really get to know my dogs and tailors her approach to their needs. She’s an excellent communicator, flexible and kind, and I trust her completely!

Katherine was so wonderful! Nash can be selective and protective of me and his home, but he warmed up to her quickly and we will definitely be booking for Katherine again!

Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog throughout middle school and teenage years. Neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me to watch their pets as well. This includes, walking, bathing, medication administration, feeding, playing, and any other necessities the pet may need. I currently have two cats. I know pets can become stressed when their owner isn’t around and that it takes time to make them feel at ease, with going the extra mile to make them comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I want to know that my pets are safe and happy while I’m away and would like to provide the same to you! I currently have two cats that I care for every day, both of whom have different medical needs that require proper attention and consistency. Because of this, I am very comfortable with routines, monitoring pets closely, and making sure they receive the care they need. I work a regular schedule Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and sometimes until 4:00 PM. This allows me to be available in the mornings and evenings for pet care. My boyfriend also has a flexible schedule and can help during the day if needed, which gives us additional flexibility to make sure pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I have two cats of my own who are truly my babies, and both are rescues. Maggie has diabetes and requires insulin twice a day, and Finny has food allergies along with another allergy we are still working to identify. Because his allergies can lead to ear infections, we take extra preventative steps by using ear drops twice a week to help keep his ears healthy. Caring for them has given me a lot of experience with attentive, routine-based pet care and administering medications. I plan to care for your pets the same way I care for my own with patience, attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of snuggles.

About: I have taken care of both my two dogs since I was 8 years old. I have trained both of my dogs, fed, and walked them daily. I have also house sat for two other dogs. One was less than 8 months old and the other was 2 years old. I house sat those two yorkies for a week. I am not working this summer so I will be able to take care of your pets 24/7. I am an animal lover and will take great care of your babies as if they were my own. I am flexible with strictness of schedules and particular pets as I know some animals have their quirks. I have one friendly beagle who is 9 years old. She is very laid back and typically spends most of her day voluntarily in her crate. She goes on daily walks but these can also be separated from your pet walks if needed.

About: I grew up with dogs, mostly yellow Labrador retrievers. I also had a dog of my own through college and lived with 3 dogs for several years, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, etc. I am working part-time in the mornings, so I have full afternoons and weekends available for pet care. My children are also with me at all times. I have a fenced in yard for safe playing outdoors, and two children who enjoy playing with dogs, so we can keep your dog safe and entertained

About: I grew up with dogs in my home from birth, and had up to 4 dogs in my house all at different ages. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, and sit for their doggies since I was 8 or nine years old. I have experience working with puppies all the way to senior dogs at the end of their lives. I specifically cared for two of my own senior dogs by providing homemade food, cleaning up accidents, and providing a safe location to go through seizures. I am just beginning to re enter the work force after being a student for the last 4 years, and want to see your animals on the weekends to keep me sane. I am up early to walk my own dog each day so can I do early morning let outs/ walks as well as daytime and evening or even overnight care. I am able to come to your home to care for your pet with great daily flexibility. I have a vehicle, so I can easily pop over and let out your pet or feed them/ change a litter box. I can also do a home stay for whatever period of time is needed.

Sy was such a pleasure and did a wonderful job dropping in to visit my two cats for a week. She was thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and flexible. I can tell she and Lucas have a real love for animals and they love them too. Even my shy cat, Franny, warmed up to them quickly. I received thorough updates and lots of pictures that made me feel very comfortable leaving them knowing they were in good hands.

Andrea was great. She arranged meetings free of charge to see if everything was a good fit before we committed. She often sent pictures to us to let us know our puppy was well taken care of. She also gave us many tips that were well appreciated as first-time puppy owners. Your pooch will be in great hands if you go with Andrea.

About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience through both personal and professional care. I currently work in in-home pet care providing dog walking and cat sitting services, where I assist with daily routines such as feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and companionship. I grew up around both dogs and cats and have always been comfortable caring for animals of different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also cared for cats long-term in my own home, which has given me experience with daily care and building trust with pets. I focus on keeping pets safe, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m available to care for cats & dogs on weekdays from 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM while my daughter is at school. During this time, I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention to make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable. I focus on following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for throughout the visit. I care for pets by following their usual routines, including feeding, fresh water, walks, and litter box maintenance when needed. I give plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I can also administer medications if needed. I make sure pets are cared for in a clean, safe, and calm environment, whether I’m visiting their home or caring for them in my own. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including managing multiple pets at once and ensuring each one receives proper attention and care. 💕

We booked Dylan for drop in visits for our pets, we have a small zoo and he didn't bat an eye, he was willing and able to care for all 6 pets. He took should good care of all the everyone. Every visit had great photos and fun updates of my animals, it made me feel like I was right there at home and I knew they were in such good hands with Dylan. I will definitely be rebooking him for our next trip.

About: Over the years, I’ve been trusted to stay overnight at the homes of neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with dogs of all ages (ex. Puppies, very high energy dogs, senior dogs, and those who are a little stubborn or reactive). I’m comfortable with feeding, giving medication, long walks, and keeping pets on their usual routine. I have a flexible work schedule and can give walks in the morning and/or afternoon and evening. I’m happy to work with any size or breed. I’m flexible, reliable, and always willing to adapt to the needs and schedule of both you and your pet! I currently work remotely, Monday–Friday. This means I’m able to stay home with your pet during weekdays (or provide walks/drop ins at any time), and I’m fully available on weekends. Im happy to provide bathroom breaks, walks, or overnight stays with your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their dog feels comfortable and safe. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I keep the home tidy, follow any house rules, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Emily was great with our cat Mila and even came to meet her before we left on our vacation. She followed all instructions, communicated well with us, and was very dependable. We were comforted in knowing she would come on time to make sure Mila got her foods and meds, a few treats and also some ear and head scratches.

This was our first time using Rover so we had no idea what to expect when we booked a drop-in visit/walk. Heidi was fantastic and took great care of Baxter and Lobo on such short notice. They absolutely loved her. The only thing that would have helped even more was a note whether or not they pooped on their walk or play time. Everything else was perfect and we’d be more than happy to have Heidi watch them again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sunfish Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sunfish Lake on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,709 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunfish 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 Sunfish 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 Sunfish Lake. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
