“Tatianya was great with the animals, and was able to stay extra time to look after them when our return home was delayed. It gave us a lot of peace of mind while traveling, to know they were being so well cared for. Thanks, Tatianya!”

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.

“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!”

“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: Hi! My schedule will be tailored to yours. I am very flexible and willing to do services with little prior heads up. Just message me for whatever you need and I will make it work. Ive taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since i was very young. There has always been some sort of animal in my house hold whether thats a small dog, a big dog, a couple of cats, birds or guinea pigs. My relationship with my animals has always been a mutual respect for each other without any issues in the past with authority which is due to my training and conditioning with my animals. I’ve made my home a safe and loving environment for my animals with their best interests considered first with daily physical and mental stimulation with fun games and walks as well as nutritious diets containing real food. I’d love to get to know your pup and take him or her on long walks. I dont have a very packed schedule so ill have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties! Im able to walk or feed your dog before 9 am and at around 12.30 in the afternoon every weekday as well as boarding your pup or kitty at my house or watching your dog overnight at your home every week day except Friday. Weekends I have more flexibility during the day and can watch your companion overnight on saturday and sunday if needed. I am flexible with day of requests for random times and can make those work every now and then. ALL PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE. I have a fenced back yard and a very friend shiba inu and chow chow mix who is a spayed female dog and is the light of my life and a black outdoor cat. My dog is very friendly with all animals and is very curious of being friends with others and would be a perfect companion for your animal.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and breeds for as long as I can remember. My experience ranges from training puppies to caring for elderly dogs to providing medication and much much more. The happiest moments of my life have been with my dogs and the animals I look after. I can’t wait to meet and care for yours! I’m a remote worker with a very flexible schedule who lives across the street from a dog beach, which allows me to give your pet the attention they deserve. The happiness of your pet (and your ease of mind) is my top priority! I have a large fully fenced yard that will keep your dog happy and exercised! My home also has two friendly dogs that are ready to meet and play with your pet. I’m happy to leave my dogs at home to do in-house visits for pets that are less social :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Blue Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Blue Lake on Rover is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 160 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 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.
