“Caitlin is amazing! She responds super fast, and I hired her for a couple of nights to stay with my nervous kitty. She was able to bond with him which is tough to do, and sent me pictures and updates while I was away. I highly recommend Caitlin for house/pet sitting!”
“Maria was AMAZING! Our pups loved spending time with her. Our female is always very nervous and Maria was the first sitter to be able to ease her mind and even pet her. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone needing a sitter!!”
“We’re so happy we found Ashland. She watched our dogs overnight and did an amazing job following all of our instructions. She was caring and kept us updated, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our pup absolutely loved her. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Zach was absolutely awesome! From the very first meet and greet, he was thorough and professional—he took the time to ask all the right questions and made sure he fully understood our dogs’ routines and personalities. It was clear right away how comfortable the dogs were with him, and his calm, friendly energy won them over instantly. While we were away, Zach kept us updated with plenty of pictures and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. The dogs looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every update. When we got home, the house was spotless and exactly as we left it—he went above and beyond to keep everything in order. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for someone responsible, caring, and attentive to both pets and home!”
“Jackalyn was so wonderful! She was thorough and kind. I walked her through everything and she asked great questions when I missed something! I would highly recommend her for anyone’s fur babies!”
“Phoebe was awesome. She sent pictures and video updates which I appreciated so much. She continued to uphold my baby’s training which I also appreciated. Sanders and I look forward to seeing you again!”
“Jennifer was excellent - she connected with all 3 of our dogs and kept us constantly updated with photos and videos! As a first time Rover client , I was definitely apprehensive but can honestly say that I am more the comfortable now and would definitely use Jennifer again !”
“Noelle took the time to meet with our anxious pup multiple times before we went out of town. She was communicative, sent photos and left our house in great condition. Will definitely be booking Noelle again!”
“Gina was absolutely amazing! She made me feel very comfortable with my decision on leaving my pups with her the moment I met her. She followed all instructions and helped me worry less about leaving my 2 active huskies while I was far away from home. Would 100% recommend! She’s trust worthy and attentive. And very professional. Thank you!”
“Sarah watched our 2.5yr old Golden Retriever, Blitz, over this last weekend and she was GREAT! She is very in tune with Blitz and we always feel comfortable going away knowing he is in good hands with Sarah. She has watched Blitz before and is always very good about giving us updates with lots of pictures and videos which we really appreciate. We highly recommend Sarah for your next dog sitter! Your loved one will be in the best of hands.”
“Kaylee is the best. I am so glad we found her. She watched my babies while I was out of town and could not have been more sweet. She was very thoughtful and left my house cleaner than it was when I left. She’s awesome and I would recommend her to everyone !”
“Hailey was great and I’ll definitely use her again. Daily pictures showed Lucy was happy and comfortable with us being gone. Upon leaving Hailey left a detailed message of what Lucy’s day had been like up to that point and we came home to a clean house!”

Zack took excellent care of our home, dog, and 2 cats while we were gone for a few days. He provided great photo/video updates and was very communicative and thorough. We definitely felt everyone was safe and well taken care of while we were away. Looking forward to booking with Zack again in the near future!
Camryn was a fantastic dog sitter for my dog, Daisy! She house sat for me for a week while I was traveling, and I came back to an even cleaner apartment than when I had left. Camryn kept me updated with pictures and messages on how Daisy was doing so I didn’t need to stress at all while I was gone!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alaqua Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alaqua Lakes on Rover is $28.89 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,881 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alaqua Lakes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Alaqua Lakes 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 Alaqua Lakes 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 Alaqua Lakes 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

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.
