About: I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience in both senior dog care and high-energy puppies. I offer a lifetime of personal pet ownership combined with years of providing reliable cat care and housesitting services for neighbors and family. I am patient with all animals and ready to give your pet the dedicated attention they deserve. Being a university student as long as I don't have classes I am available. I have a highly flexible schedule and am able to structure my study hours around your pet's needs, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I am mostly free in the afternoon on weekdays and any time on weekends. I tailor every visit to your pet's specific routine and comfort levels. Safety is always at the top of my mind, so I am vigilant about door security whenever entering a home. Once inside, my time is all theirs. For high-energy pets, I can spend my time burning off their energy in the yard or a safe space inside. For older pets, I provide calm companionship and a comforting presence. I am meticulous about following instructions regarding feeding, refreshing water, locking up, and keeping your home secure.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I currently have a playful 1-year-old Schnauzer at home. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with special diets and can follow basic medical instructions with care. I always take the time to connect with each dog based on their unique personality. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have all the time in the world to care for and play with your pet! I’m available 7 days a week and would love to spend quality time with your furry friend. I also have a fenced yard and my sweet Schnauzer can keep your pup company—if you’re comfortable with that. Your pet’s safety is my top priority

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my whole life and recently got my own pup, Emmie! I know firsthand the level of care and trust it takes to leave your furry best friend with someone, and I’d love the opportunity to look after yours. Whether your pup needs a nice walk, fun playtime, or just lots of cuddles on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! I’m a full-time CNA working three 12-hour shifts (typically Sunday–Tuesday), which leaves me with wide-open availability the rest of the week! With my puppy emmie I definitely learned what it takes to create a safe environment for the puppy, she free roams my kitchen with the floor cleared and living room blocked off since she is still working on potty training. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make your puppy feel the same way! So if that means crate time or free roams whatever you’re comfortable with.

About: I have always owned animals growing up and now I take care of animals for a living. I would love to continue my passion when I’m not at work. I have experience with many different species including reptiles, birds, fish, and of course, dogs and cats. I know the importance of finding a good pet sitter as I own pets myself. Allow me the opportunity to care for yours as if they were mine. I have fairly normal work hours from 8am to 4:30pm. So this gives me plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. Since my schedule is pretty consistent with my days off being during the week, I am able to do multiple walks and drop ins on my days off. I utilize the space provided. So if my client has a backyard and needs me to take their pet out, I can do so. Otherwise, I’ll take the pet out for a walk.

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been providing pet care since November of last 2025 and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Skills & Experience: Large Dog Handling: Comfortable walking dogs up to 80 lbs with a calm and controlled approach. For safety, I do ask that larger dogs are fully trained and well-behaved on leash. Time Management & Organization: Experienced in caring for multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Routine-Based Care: I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Reliability & Attention to Detail: I’m dependable and attentive, always paying close attention to a pet’s behavior and needs. Exercise & Engagement: I provide structured 30-minute walks and make sure each visit includes both care and positive interaction. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect; making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away, and giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently an online student so i have a very flexible schedule! Im available in the mornings, earliest 10am, and the latest at 8pm. I take both pet safety and respect for your home very seriously. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and household preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep pets safe and under control. In your home, I aim to be as respectful and tidy as possible; cleaning up after pets, keeping their areas neat, and leaving everything just as I found it. I also understand the importance of trust, so I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, calm environment for your pets while also giving you peace of mind knowing your home and pets are being well cared for.

We felt very comfortable leaving Max, knowing Nathalie would visit him daily. She sent us his pictures and reports daily, which we truly appreciated. She followed all our instructions and took great care of our cat and our house. We will definitely rebook with Nathalie next time we are out of town.”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs, starting with my own Labrador Thor, whom I adopted as a scared and reactive puppy. Through love, patience, and daily attention, I helped him become a balanced, gentle, and joyful companion. That journey taught me to truly understand dogs with fear, anxiety, or behavioral challenges. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior dogs and pets of friends and families, always adjusting to their specific needs — whether it’s following their daily routine, administering medication, offering calm walks, or simply giving loving company and making them feel at home. What sets me apart as a sitter is that I treat every dog like part of my family. I’m naturally sensitive to their emotions and body language, and I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog that needs extra patience, I’m fully present with kindness and care every single day. 💚🐶 🐾 Cuidar perros es parte de nuestra vida. Nuestro labrador Thor nos enseñó lo que el amor, la paciencia y la conexión real con un animal pueden lograr. Cuidamos a cada perrito con respeto, ternura y atención, como si fuera parte de nuestra familia. 💚 We’re a mother-daughter team working full-time from home, available seven days a week for overnight and daytime care. Dogs are never left alone and always surrounded by love and attention. We welcome dogs of all sizes and breeds, as long as they’re friendly and safe with others. If needed, we also offer exclusive care for pups who prefer calm, private stays. 💚🐾 Our priority is to provide a calm, joyful, and safe environment where every dog feels at home. Our house is peaceful, clean, and organized — perfect for both playful and relaxed dogs. We carefully match personalities to make sure everyone gets along, and if a pup prefers solo time, we arrange exclusive care just for them. Each guest sleeps indoors, never alone, and we send daily photo updates so you always feel connected and reassured. 💚🐾

About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every kind since I was 10 but have lived with dogs my 33 years. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving attention to their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am a proud dog mom. PLEASE NOTE: For house sitting, I do need to bring my Pomeranian with me. If you are comfortable with this, please continue with your booking request. If not, please do not request house sitting. Thank you! I work remotely, which allows me the flexibility to house sit and give your pets plenty of attention and care while you’re away for work, vacation, travel, or emergencies. I’m a total homebody and love having furry company around! When house sitting, I’m able to spend lots of time with your pets, keep them on their normal routine, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also offer drop-in visits if you just need someone to stop by, check on your pets, give them some love, feed them, let them out, or tend to anything they need while you’re gone. Treating your pet like it is my own baby. Proper meal times, multiple potty breaks and long walks, mental stimulation and lots of love and attention. I’m an adult woman whose honest and reliable, you can trust me in your home and with your fur children.

Steph was absolutely amazing with my dog, Mia! She cared for her for six days, and it truly felt like I was leaving her with family. She even sent the cutest pictures, and it was so comforting seeing how happy Mia was with her. My dog is not a people person but she loves Stephanie, that says a lot! I never worry, I know my baby is in good hands. Mia needed two different medications, and Steph gave them exactly as instructed with such care and kindness. She went above and beyond my expectations, even checking back in on Mia. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. She gives me helpful advice and treats Mia as if she were her own. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your fur baby, I wholeheartedly recommend Steph. She’s simply the best!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Three Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

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.
