Ashlyn was reliable and prompt as a pet sitter. Our dog, Lando, was well taken care of and loved his time with Ashlyn while we were away. Will definitely use Ashlyn in the future.

Was great with our 2 cats. Feed, them both, and gave medicine to our Lucky. Spent time petting and playing with them. Arrived on time, and sent pictures of our precious babies. We will hire again. The cats each gave her 2 paws up. :)

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and a dog since I was ten. I’ve also been volunteering at animal shelters since the beginning of 2024! I have a calm energy which is great for putting anxious pets at ease. I have the most experience with small dogs but love dogs of all sizes! I have the most availability on weekends but I have no problem making weeknight visits to provide your pets with the care they deserve! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. Pet safety whether out and about or in your home is my top priority! I am careful to observe animal body language so I can better know when to give a pet space or remove them from a distressing situation. If you have any care or safety concerns that are specific to your home or pet, do not hesitate to let me know!

About: I work at a dog daycare and was trained to watch and care for various breeds of dogs. I am experienced with feeding and bathing dogs as well. I have grown up with dogs in my house ever since I was a little girl. The love I share and receive from these fur babies brings me so much joy. I will have plenty of time on weekends and even during the week to care for your fur babies. I am able to take your dog(s) on walks when I am not at doggie daycare! I will provide my undivided attention to your dog(s). I will provide love and fun through our day. I will make sure the area inside and outside is clean and safe.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a toddler. I grew up on a farmhouse In Brunswick where we have many outdoor and indoor cats along with a minimum of two dogs at all times. We also had horses and plenty of property. My current job is 8:30-4:30 and I’d be available to pet sit or dog walking between the times of 6-8pm on weekdays. I do have availability on weekends and holidays, those hours are to be determined. I have a fenced yard, and allow my dog to free roam where they will bark or sit outside the door when they are ready to come back in. I value positive enforcement when training. When I go for walks I use a retractable leash and harness for comfort and safety, and when we are on hiking trails where there are no other dogs or humans, my dog is allowed to be detached from her harness as she doesn’t stray far and will always make sure I’m within sight.

About: I am an experienced and dedicated pet caregiver with a lifelong love of animals. I have previously owned both a Beagle and a Greyhound and am currently a proud cat parent to seven cats. In addition, I have successfully fostered and cared for eight litters of kittens, providing attentive care from infancy through adoption readiness. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I regularly help care for my family's pets, including two dogs and a cat. I have also provided reliable pet-sitting services for close friends, caring for multiple dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles while they were away on vacation or at work. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I am committed to providing compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply maintaining their regular routine, I am dedicated to ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, including walks, feeding, and in-home visits. Pet care is a great fit for me because it complements my studies while giving me the opportunity to spend time with animals I love. Your fur babies will receive plenty of attention and companionship, and they'll make wonderful study buddies while I ensure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. Pets are family to me. My own animals are spoiled with love, affection, and attention, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful, so I make it a priority to give them plenty of love, comfort, playtime, and companionship to help them feel happy and secure until their family returns.

About: I’ve cared for family dogs and cats for years and have always loved being around animals. I grew up with both a dog and cats, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all kinds and personalities. Friends and family often ask me to help out when they’re away, whether it’s feeding, walking, or spending time keeping their pets company. I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy.i I work Monday-Friday evenings in the hospital. I am available every weekday morning and afternoon and after work as well. Weekends I am free all day! When I do drop in visits, I make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ll clean litter boxes, refresh water, and make sure they’re well fed and played with before I leave. For walks, I always pay close attention to their comfort and safety while giving them plenty of time to explore and get their energy out. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they get the love and attention they deserve while you’re away.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m confident handling walks, feeding routines, training reinforcement, and giving dogs the exercise and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own— with patience, love, and genuine care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine because I plan my days around it. I make time for regular walks, feeding, play, and check-ins. I’m flexible with scheduling and always ensure each dog gets the right balance of exercise, attention, and rest throughout the day. I prioritize safety and comfort in every situation. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean, and ensure they’re always supervised. I take time to earn each dog’s trust, using positive energy and calm interactions. Whether in my home or yours, pets stay in a secure, loving, and stress-free environment.

Kaylee was great! Our dog Penny really liked her and she knew exactly how to deal with her over-active energy. She followed instructions really well and has a calm disposition. Took great care of my kitties, too. We'll definitely call on her again for future needs!

About: I have great experience with all types of animals in all ranges of age and necessities. I have worked at a barn as well as volunteer at my local animal shelter. I also grew up fostering puppies and kittens as young as days old. I have multiple pets of my own and they are my whole world, I treat any animal with the same level of respect. I work part time but my schedule is very flexible with an enough time in advance. I am free pretty much all day on weekends and most consistently after 3 on weekdays. However my schedule does shift and I am an early riser so I can make most other times work. I currently do not offer home services in my personal house. At a clients home I will listen to whatever instructions are given and keep everything as similar as possible for overnight and drop-in visits to help keep stress levels down for your animal.

GeorgiAnna was a pleasure to work with, especially since we were booking on short notice to travel to an out of town funeral. She provided good updates, and the pets were happy and healthy upon our return. GeorgiAnna will be our first choice next time we need a pet sitter.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - West Sand Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in West Sand Lake on Rover is $21.09 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,146 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across West Sand 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 West Sand 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.

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 West Sand 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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.

To find sitters in West Sand Lake with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Sand Lake. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
