Very helpful at last minute and very diligent with a dog that needs more monitoring for behavioral issues. She was familiar with the breed and knew exactly what our girl needed

About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 2 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.

Jessie has been visiting our pup for almost 6 weeks now. She is exactly what we needed for our energetic puppy during the day. Jessie is an excellent communicator and we always know when she is checking in and out with our dog. She also sends daily pictures which is great for us to feel like we haven’t missed a beat. We are so thankful to Jessie and highly recommend for your furry friends!

Vicki took fantastic care of our cat Zoey while we were gone for two week. She was very communicative, helpful and patient with all the odds and ends of such a long journey (complicated medicine schedules, snowstorms, and the like). we felt very secure knowing that Vicki was keeping an eye on our home while we were away. 10/10 would recommend

About: Hi, I’m Destiny, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I’ve had cats in my family since I was 8 and have had my own fur baby for over 5 years. I’ve also cared for and walked all size dogs from a chihuahua to a great dane, including my own family dogs back in high school. I know how important it is to provide pets with personalized attention, exercise, and enrichment. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a relaxing stroll, or playtime with your furry friend, I make sure every pet gets the care they deserve. I’m also experienced with leash training, enrichment activities, and handling larger dogs. I'm happy to go over any specific instructions or needs for your pet to make sure they get care you want and the love they deserve! I'm currently working a full time job and looking for some extra work to make ends meet. I'm available all weekends and early mornings or evenings through the week. With one cat at home, I can absolutely accommodate other kitties overnight. Unfortunately, dog sitting is not an option for me at the moment but I'm willing to go the extra mile to drop in for visits, walks, and can crate or settle them down when leaving them. I know you love your furry friend and want to give them the best care, I’m here to help in whatever way I can!

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s dogs for many years. I make sure to walk them every day with a balanced meal. I will bathe your dog if requested or as needed. I’m a recent college graduate so I’m available most of the week. I’m ready to devote myself to giving care to animals and I love spending time with them. I live in an apartment with my partner and our two cats so, I’ll only be able to provide services at the client’s house. I will take the dog on leash if there is no fence. I have worked in animal clinic in the kennel so I experience with crating dogs at night. I additionally love spending time with cats and will play with them. I like to meet cats where they are at and not push their boundaries.

About: I’ve grown up with animals, specifically Maltese dogs. I enjoy meeting new ones to help a pet owner or a friend out. I really like taking my friends pets for hikes. I have worked in pet stores and have taken a course on exotic animals. I have experience caring for hamsters and hedgehogs. While I don’t pick favorite dogs, my favorite breed of dog is the Sheltie! If your pup is a Shetland sheepdog, I’ll offer discounted rates:) I am currently a college student and my schedule is currently flexible with availability. I can work with you to help you find the right fit. I have two small dogs myself and cannot provide in house for an extended period of time with a larger animal. Have a partially fenced house

About: I have taken care of dogs, and cats my whole life, I have over 22 years experience. I’m very attentive, I like to keep everything according to their regular routine/schedule, I have a lot of experience with pets who have separation anxiety, medical issues, providing medications, extra care, etc. Patience is key to bonding, and gaining trust with fur babies. I always give fur babies space to come to me since I’m the one in their safe zone, and don’t want them to feel threatened at all. I am a very quiet person, I love to read books, and am currently studying consumer law. I would love to have a meet and greet so clients get the chance to know me, to be able to see from my interaction with your fur babies if I would be a great pick to take care of your pets, along with answering any questions you may have. I tend to ask a lot of questions so I can have all the information I need to be able to take great care of your pets. I also provide status updates to include pictures, videos, etc. during my bookings so clients can feel more at ease knowing their pets are in good hands. I can also provide references if needed. I have a lot of law enforcement clients along with friends of theirs who were referred to me by them. Your pets will always be safe, this is promise I never break. I also love to clean (I’m Asian lol), I take care of the mail, take care of trash/recycling when it needs to be taken out, and brought back in. I always leave the house the way I saw it upon arrival. I also will stay with your babies till you get home so you can see your pets are happy, and healthy, and to be able to see your home is in excellent condition. I don’t mind staying even if it’s past the time since delays can happen from car issues, flight delays, etc. so this way you don’t have to worry about your babies since I will stay till you come home, and answer any questions you may have before I leave, I never charge extra for that since that’s my policy, and anything could happen if I were to leave. I look forward to hearing from you, to our meet? & greets. I promise you won’t be disappointed ☺️ This is my only job so I’m available 24/7 to take great care of tint fur babies, to be able to tend to their needs, to be able to supervise them constantly, to be able to provide love, cuddles, and care. I’m also available on short notice I am able to stay at clients houses when house sitting, and never leave the house so I can ensure their safety, I can provide credible references, I send a lot of status updates, I encourage clients to FaceTime at anytime if they would like to see their fur babies, I like to ask a lot of questions during meet and greets so I can go over everything, get all the information I need so I can take great care of your pets, keep them safe, comfortable, and I am patient since it takes time to gain animals trust.

Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable while I was gone for 10 days. She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 14 years old, whether it was for friends or family members. I have also taken care of older animals who need medicine and special care so I am experienced in that section. Additionally I’ve had multiple cats and dogs in my own home, that I’ve taken care of since they were kittens and puppies. I have a part time door dashing job. Which means I. En check in pets at anytime of the day. I’m free every day of the week. Whether it’s overnights or just checking in on pets. Making sure a pet is comfortable around me in incredibly important. So that the rest do our time together can be fun and safe for both of us. I love playing with animals, but not as much as snuggling them. (If they like that) :)

GeorgiAnna was absolutely wonderful. She provided excellent care while we were away, keeping me updated with photos. It was clear our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. GeorgiAnna is flexable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable cat sitter.

Our 14yo cat is finicky about food and craves lots of attention. We appreciated Marlee’s keeping in touch about feeding and petting. Ricky seemed content when we got home. We also were grateful that Marlee rolled with some schedule changes. Thank you, Marlee!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 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 1,185 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 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.

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.
