“Alex was fantastic! She was a great communicator, sending daily updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Meeko was clearly happy, well cared for, and comfortable with her. We also came home to a clean and tidy house, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely book Alex again and highly recommend her. Thank you, Alex, for taking such wonderful care of Meeko and our home. We are so grateful!”

“Zalie was amazing! This was our first time leaving our furr child with a stranger and also the first time using Rover. We booked only a few days before we had to leave and Zalie was very accommodating to set up the meet and greets and go over logistics before we left. She was very professional and thorough and we felt great about leaving our pup with her. We have a very high energy border collie/ cattle dog that has specific exercise needs. Even in the rain, she took him on walks, to play fetch, and played a lot of mental exercises inside. She sent many updates and photos while we were gone and it felt like we were never wondering if he was having a good time. We 100% recommend Zalie !”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Junny and Johmel. Junny did a meet-and-greet before our trip, asked thoughtful and thorough questions, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We had them watch our two large pitbulls in our home while we were on a trip for 4 nights. We received amazing photos and detailed updates twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They checked in proactively with any pertinent details, were flexible and accommodating with our flights in case of delays, and left our home exceptionally clean. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dogs—highly recommend and we would absolutely use them again!”

About: I currently own a kitty, pup, and some chickens. I have fostered kittens and trained my dog to do agility, I also grew up doing 4H! I have owned a horse and goats as well so I have experience with farm animals! I love bonding with animals and they’ve always been such an important part of who I am. I promise you I will take the best care of your sweet pets! I am in California temporarily for winter time as I am a College student from another state. I am looking to work whenever/as needed! ! When I have pet sit/house sit in the past, I spend a lot of time bonding with the pets and making them feel safe and not alone. I am flexible when it comes to stopping by to check on them or living in to take care of them. I love giving out treats and playing but of course it’s up to you as to what I’d be allowed to do!

About: I have been a pet and house sitter for the majority of my life. I truly enjoy spending time with your animals and making sure they are happy and healthy while you are away. This can include anything from daily snuggles on the couch, to walks around the neighborhood, play time in the back yard, or chasing lasers around inside. I have sat for a variety of animals, but prefer to stick with dogs and cats, but if you have other types of pets we can negotiate. I do not do well with giving shots but can handle a medication schedule if needed for senior or special needs animals. I am currently a remote student working on a bachelor's degree. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be gone from my home so I can come care for yours and your pets. I am trustworthy, quiet, dependable, reliable, and love animals. As I already have pets at home, I do not offer my own in-home care. So, it would be best for me to come to you.

“Yliana was AMAZING!!! She updated us with pictures/videos of my girls often. We could tell our girls were comfortable with her right away- which is not usually the case for one of my girls as she’s very timid. This gave us such peace of mind & we were so grateful for that! While we missed our girls tons, we didn’t worry at all & we were able to enjoy our vacay! We will Definitely keep Yliana in mind for future sittings & you should too!!!!! 😋”

About: As a pet lover, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and experienced to take care of your furry family members when you can't be there. That's where I come in! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly love spending time with pets - it's not just a job for me. I have two lovable senior dogs of my own, Edger and Peggy, who have taught me so much about caring for older dogs. When I'm taking care of your pets, I make sure to give them lots of love and attention. I'll play with them, take them on walks, and of course, make sure they're well-fed and hydrated. I'm also happy to administer any necessary medications or special treatments. Overall, my goal is to make sure your critters feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I've been trusted by friends and family to pet-sit for years, and I'm excited to bring my passion for pet care to your home! As a busy college student, I know the importance of sticking to a schedule. That's why I make sure to plan ahead for any pet care requests. Ideally, I would love to have a week's notice so I can prepare accordingly and provide your furry friends with the best possible care. Times of unavailability are Mondays after 1 PM and on Thursdays before 12 PM. Other than that, I'm more than happy to work with you to find the best time for your pet's needs. 1. Safety: - Create a pet-proof environment by removing any hazardous items or substances that could harm the pets. - Secure any potential escape routes, such as fences or gates, to prevent pets from wandering off. - Keep toxic plants, chemicals, and medications out of reach. - Supervise pets during playtime to prevent accidents or injuries. 2. Trust: - Establish a trusting relationship with the pets by providing them with love, attention, and positive reinforcement. - Follow the pet owner's instructions and routines to maintain consistency and familiarity for the pets. - Communicate regularly with the pet owners, providing updates and addressing any concerns or questions they may have. - Respect the privacy and confidentiality of the pet owners and their homes. 3. Environment: - Provide a comfortable and clean living space for the pets, including bedding, toys, and appropriate temperature control. - Ensure access to fresh water and a balanced diet as per the pet owner's instructions. - Maintain a regular exercise routine to keep the pets physically and mentally stimulated. - Follow any specific grooming or hygiene requirements for the pets, such as brushing, bathing, or nail trimming. If you offer pet care services in the client's home, you can follow similar guidelines while also considering the following: 1. Familiarity: - Familiarize yourself with the layout of the client's home to prevent any accidents or damage. - Respect the client's personal belongings and maintain a clean and organized environment. 2. Security: - Ensure the client's home is secure during your presence by locking doors and windows when necessary. - Follow any specific security protocols provided by the client, such as alarm systems or key management. By prioritizing safety, trust, and a suitable environment, you can provide excellent care for pets in both your own home and your client's home, ensuring their well-being and the satisfaction of their owners.

“Leigh was absolutely wonderful and I am very confident in recommending her to take care of your furry family members. I recently moved to the area and was very stressed out about finding a new dog sitter. It’s quite a leap of faith to invite someone you don’t know to stay in your home with your pets for the first time. Leigh was very attentive to both of my pups and kept me updated on how they were doing. She also very last minute stayed over an extra night when my flight home got cancelled and still checked in on them the next afternoon when flight delays continuously kept me from getting home. I am very grateful that I found Leigh!”

About: I love all animals, not just cats and dogs;) I have experience with veterinary medicine and I am an apprenticing dog trainer. I am making it my life long goal to truly understand animal behavior and psychology. I am a part time employee with many hours in my day to day life to care for your animals. I have animals of my own and expect the best for them. I ensure to prioritize your pets like they are my own. I care for all pets in a kind, compassionate, and nurturing manner. I believe all pets deserve patience, stability, and consistency from the humans around them. When pets are in my care I ensure these values remain through feeding times and methods, mental enrichment, physical exercise, potty time, and through all interactions spent with pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Blue Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Blue Lake on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 165 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blue Lake. 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 Blue Lake 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 Blue Lake 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 Blue 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!

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.

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.
