“Allison did a great job taking care of our two cats. She followed instructions for them and gave them attention. They seemed happy and unstressed when we arrived home.”
“Donna is great!! She sends updates on my dog and is very responsive. She also takes great care of my home while I’m away. She has been wonderful to work with and Onyx is very happy when I arrive back home, but I know he is well cared for while I’m gone.”
“Heather house- and dog-sat for us over the weekend as our first experience with Rover and it went great. We were updated with photos of our dogs once she arrived (we had already left) and she was very responsive all along the way. It couldn't have gone any better.”
“Lauren was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She was very responsive, sent multiple pictures and messages each day and the house and pets were perfect when we returned! We will definitely book with her again and I highly recommend her!”
“Wonderful! We had a long trip where we had NO service and Ellen was still sending updates and photos. We had no issues. Our house was in the same condition we left it in. Our boys can be a handful and Ellen handled them beautifully. Definitely will be rebooking!!”
“Kya enjoyed her time with Anne. She got to be around water for the first time and meet new friends, dog and human alike. I knew she would have an adventure with Anne and she certainly did. Thank you for taking care of my sweet girl!”
“We definitely enjoyed having Alexis as our pet sitter. She did a great job with our doggies. Dogs were happy when we got back, the house was very clean and we got tons of puppy pictures every day. Thanks again for your help, we look forward to working together in the future!”
“Karen did a wonderful job sitting for our geriatric greyhound in our home! Very reliable and put our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”
“Marcin was wonderful and attentive to Murphy. He communicates effectively and keeps me updated daily. I appreciate his diligence and care for my dog. Murphy was happy and calm when I got home. I will surely ask Marcin to be the sitter for Murphy again.”
“Hi, Hamani did a really wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was gone. He was gentle. He was kind. My dog and him bonded immediately. He really knows how to communicate with my dog. My high-spirited dog calmed down around Hamani. I was so happy to see that. That made such a difference. I have learned so much about dog care by watching Hamani and my dog. I highly recommend Hamani. Sincerely, Ingrid”
“Hanna stayed with our cat all week while we were gone. She was so easy to communicate with and quick to respond! She sent us the cutest pictures and videos all week to get us through the week. 100% will rebook with Hanna.”
“Julie is a blessing for Poncho and I, while we stay in town for 4 months, for work. She is very easy to talk to and communicative. She is very good with poncho, a 100lb pitbull. Thank you Julie!!!”
“Kori was a fantastic dog sitter. Our dogs were standoffish at first, but she was very patient and won them over. She took great care of both our dogs and our home, sent lots of pictures, and made us feel confident they were in good hands. Next time we go on vacation, we’ll definitely be reaching out to her first!”
“Was very satisfied with the overall experience. House was exactly as we left it when we returned. Puppies were excited to see us too. Nicole even cleaned up the dog poo in the back yard, yeah bonus!”
“We had an excellent experience with our house/pet sitter, Gordon. I was nervous having a stranger in our home and with our pets, but from the start, he was great at communicating with me. That continued while we were away with daily texts and photos. It put our minds at ease knowing they were being taken care of so well. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. He even went out of his way to schedule things around our dog who requires special attention and medication. Would definitely book again.”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life—I currently have three dogs and a cat, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, from tiny teacup Chihuahuas to large dogs like German Shepherds, Great Danes, Malinois, Pit Bulls, and Mastiffs. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I adapt easily to their needs—whether that means relaxing with mellow seniors or keeping up with high-energy breeds like Huskies, Border Collies, and Terriers. I also have experience caring for blind dogs and service dogs, and understand the extra attention and care they may need. I always aim to help your pup feel comfortable and safe with me, and I pride myself on being highly adaptable to whatever their unique needs may be. I am graduated and a licensed esthetician practicing here in jackson. I work part-time, I like to stay busy so I have worked with dogs for a few years consistently on the side. I am very flexible and rarely say no to a request! At home, I have three well behaved dogs—a senior Lhasa Apso, a Labrador, and a French Bulldog. They are all crate trained, fully potty trained, and very well cared for. We take pride in keeping our pets happy, healthy, and comfortable, and that same level of care extends to every pet I work with. I always want your pets to feel safe and at ease with me, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines or preferences you have to make sure they feel right at home!

FAQs for House Sitting - Clarklake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 402 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clarklake. 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 Clarklake 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 Clarklake 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 Clarklake 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 with handling special pet needs in Clarklake. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
