“Cannot say enough good things about Allie! She is just fantastic! My dogs were very comfortable around her and I know they got a lot of loving! My house was spotless when we got home. First time we've used an overnight dog sitter ever and we couldn't be more pleased with Allie. Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her. She sent us multiple updates and pictures!”
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs belonging to family and friends. I’m excited to provide dependable, attentive care and earn your trust through excellent communication and reliable service. I do work full time and am looking for a side gig, I am able to do evening walks or weekend walks if needed and I love walking. I always make sure the pet is comfortable and check in on them. I try to make sure the pet has all of its needs fulfilled and keep a look out for certain behaviors to make sure they’re not in distress.
“Peyton did a great job with my pups. One of my dogs is timid and she seemed to have gained his trust and done well with them. She’s also great at communicating and providing updates when needed.”
“WOW..... Apollo had so much fun staying with Julie and her dog Dante. We received several text messages and pictures from Julie. I felt so comfortable leaving Apollo while we were away in DC over the weekend. He was happy to see us upon our return, but I think he now misses Dante his new buddy. I highly recommend Julie for your next dog sitting.”
About: I have grown up with my own dog my whole life. Besides my own pup, I have experience watching serval different breeds of dogs (often very energetic). As well as, I have taken good care of a few very cute kitties I work a part time job where I may be away for 4-5 hours max but have a flexible schedule and will make sure to find time to help your pet feel well loved! As well as my evenings are ways free. I have good awareness of surrounding and can take good care of your pup while on plenty of walks and make sure they get the care they need.
“Rylinn took great care of our dogs! She even watered our plants, brought in mail and washed sheets and towels. I couldn't even tell she was there. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Cheryl was great watching our dog Lucy. Cheryl provides great pictures and kept us updated on things they were doing. We will def be using Cheryl again! Thanks so much for taking great care of Lucy!”
“AnnaClaire is outstanding 🩷 I could not recommend her more! She housesit and took care of my kitten for nearly two weeks while I was away. Every day she was consistently reliable, communicated often, and really took such great care of my kitten and house. She quickly became my kitty’s new best friend. I would trust her time and time again!”
“Chloe was phenomenal with our dogs - she watched them for a long weekend when we were out of town. Not only did she tax excellent care of our fur babies, she left the house in pristine condition - she went above and beyond what I requested - what a superstar!!!”
“Lori did a very nice job watching our pets while we were on vacation. They were well fed, she took the dogs outside often and watered our plants. She sent pictures of our pets every day and told us how they were doing. She informed us when she was leaving the house for a while and didn't stay away very long. We were impressed how well our chihuahuas liked her. Our dogs don't like very many people....at all. We look forward to having Lori watch our pets when we go on vacation again.”
About: I have been caring for dogs and other animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for my mom’s coworkers’ dogs, neighbors’ pets, and animals of different sizes and personalities. I have provided overnight stays, regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable following specific routines and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m happy to make time for your pets. I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks, check-ins, playtime, feeding, and overnight care depending on what your pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where your pet can feel relaxed and cared for. I always make sure pets are supervised, have plenty of attention, and have everything they need. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide.
“Samantha was GREAT! We were away for a week and she took great care of my Bailey who is extremely spoiled and a very picky eater. Samantha did a better job at getting her to eat than I can. She treated my baby like her own, I know this because I have a camera in my kitchen so I could see Bailey. As we all know dogs know good people…and Bailey would get just as excited to see her as she does us when we come in the door. I highly recommend Samantha. This was my first time using Rover and I would again. FANTASTIC job Samantha! Thank You!!!!”
About: Hi pet parents! I'm Morgan and I'm currently a pet mama to two horses and a cat. I've had a love for animals my entire life and have experience caring for all kinds. I grew up in 4-H and work for a well-known pet retailer, so animals have always been a big part of my world. I recently lost my own dog to cancer, which gave me first hand experience caring for a pet with special needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust, and I'll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just needs some extra company, I'm here to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a list of references if needed and also provide pet sitting/drop ins/ etc. for horses and large animals. I am able to be reached at any time of the day so don’t hesitate to give me a call. I am a busy body when it comes to my pets. Aside from caring for my two pups, I can usually be found in the barn feeding, brushing, or doing horse stalls. I am hyper-vigilant about making sure pets are leashed and safely secured. I’m also always on the look out for potential safety issues and prefer to keep collars off of pets that get crated just in case.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Chippewa Lake is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chippewa Lake
Kristen did a fantastic job with our two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days! She was very responsive to communication the entire time. We didn’t return to any accidents or messes we had to clean up which for us is a blessing as one of our dogs tends to have some potty issues when we are gone for an extended period. Usually our dogs are super excited to see us when we return- this time I think they were disappointed to see us and not to see Kristen!! Would definitely rebook ☺️
Jennifer helped us so we could take our vacation with multiple visits during some nasty weather. I can't say enough about her diligence in making it out to our home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or rehire her she sent multiple pictures and dealt with unforseen events. Thank you Jennifer Tom and Eileen.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,139 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chippewa 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 Chippewa 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 Chippewa 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 Chippewa 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.

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.
