“Alex did an amazing job with our critters! She was very communicative, sending frequent updates and fun photos and videos. I felt so reassured the pets were having a great time and were well cared for. She went above and beyond her expected duties. We will absolutely ask her to petsit again!”
About: Well hello there :) We're Holly & Grace Shelton, an animal loving family who have well over 30+ years of experience in taking care of pets. We've both had pets all our lives from cats to dogs to even lizards. Currently, we have 5 pets, 3 dogs and 2 cat. We have Boobie and Tutt who are half-sibling mutts, both under 20 pounds. They're 12 and 13 loveable, and just want to be loved on and fed treats. They love a good car ride and walk when it's not scorching out. Boobie is the queen of our home. Then there's our Shihzu, Na'Vi, whose well over 20 pounds with bark as deep as a German Shepard. He's very protective but is loveable once he warms up to you. It might take a few visits. Then there's Alpine, our ragdoll cat who just wants to lay in the sun all day and get pets on her own time. She'll scream at you when it's dinner time and she makes sure to never miss a meal. She loves people and never stops purring. We always strive to go above and beyond for the owners and their pets from checking the mail, taking the trash out, and making sure the pets are well beyond their means of care and certainly loved on. We provide many services from dog walking to drop-in visits. We'll always make sure the pets know they're loved before we leave. We're available anytime, even for last-minute emergencies that you need your pets tended to. We can always work on your schedule and be sure that we fit in all your pets daily needs. We go above and beyond for people and their pets. We make sure that they're well-loved in these moments while their owners are gone. We make sure they have fresh food and water, and are played out in the time that we're there. That their walks are extra long if they need that little bit of energy out of their system.
“Marea was responsible with her time at our home. She communicated daily and sent photos of our boys. We very much appreciated her being here during our vacation so that our boys could stay in their comfy and secure space and that the house was lived in. She pulled in our trash cans off the road and fed our wild yard birds, too. We live rurally and we appreciated that Marea drove in and out of the city to be here. The house was left tidy and everything was in its place when we returned home.”
About: I've had pets my whole life, I watch the pets of my friends and family as often as I'm needed. I make sure they're fed, hydrated and go on walks daily. I also have experience working with blind and deaf dogs. I am on Medical Leave from work and pet care is what I am best at. I am free all day every day including weekends. I am best at caring for pets in other peoples homes. If I'm staying somewhere overnight i bring my own food, towels, blankets and pillows and i'm able to sleep anywhere including couches and floors. I am not able to watch pets in my own home as I live in a very small apartment that pets are not allowed in.
About: I have had pets my whole life with different personalities. I currently have the most energetic dog with the biggest heart and personality and love him to pieces. I have taken care of my friends animals on numerous occasions. I moved from AZ to St Clud and several friends have flown me back to AZ to care for their pets. I am retired. I am willing to drop in and hang with your animal, feed or walk them. I am willing to stay at your home and watch your animals and your home if you need time away. I just move to St. Cloud from AZ. We have 1 dog. I would be willing to watch your animals at your home. I would be willing to take your dog on walks or just check in on your animals.
About: I have dedicated 20 plus years to doing what is best for the animals in my life and in my care. Not only are my animals treated as if they were my children, but your animals will be treated with the same love and respect. My house is currently filled with love in the form of 2 dogs, 3 birds, and 1 cat. Outdoor fenced in play area! Indoor lounge 1,000sq ft! 24/7 water available! Discounts available for well behaved dogs! When your pet is with me, be reassured they are well cared for and loved. My home resides in a residential neighborhood sitting in over 2 acres, and is a 4 level house where the animals are free to roam the whole house, as well as a fenced in yard in the back, so the animals have plenty of room to run around. Within the house there is water available 24/7, pet beds to lounge on, toys to play with, along with that when in my care the animals are allowed on the beds and furniture, unless your rules do not allow that, and in that case those rules will also be enforced with your pet(s) while in my care. My home also includes a “safe room” which means it is a room specifically for entering and exiting the home through the front of the house which is not fenced in, which this ensures no escaping by any of the animals. This room also allows the new first time friends to meet the current friends in my care safely. In the end I thank you for trusting me with the care of your pets and I can’t wait for them to become a new forever friend in my house. --------Disclaimer---------- Brunell Pet Services (Brunell Enterprises LLC) -We do provide our customers 25,000$ coverage accident/injury coverage for a deductible of 100$ Rates provided on the Rover Platform are Tax inclusive.

About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business. Now I own and operate Pawsitive Journey, so in a way uou could say that dream has turned into a reality. I'm experienced with a wide variety of behaved dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a 6+ years of handling and caring for animals in general and would be able to provide the most comfort and the most exhilarating time while you are away, depending on what your pet requires.
“We used Jess for dog sitting for the first time and will definitely book with her again! It was a long trip, and everything went great. It was clear when we got home that our 14-year old pup liked Jess and was comfortable with her. Jess did everything we asked her to, and there was absolutely no problems. Definitely recommend!”
“Hope did a great job watching my dog Charlie. She was communicative and gave him a lot of love and special attention. She picked up the booking with only a couple days notice (life saver) and even made time in her day to make sure to give him a walk - even walking him on the day that we got home.”
“Megan did great with our little girl cookie, She kept cookie calm throughout the fireworks, we will be getting her again, looking forward to seeing you at the end of month!! Thank you again”
“Danielle was awesome with our two dogs. We felt super safe leaving them with her and know they got lots of snuggles and play time. She spent a lot of time with them and made them feel very comfortable while we were gone. Would recommend 100%!”
“Sierra was wonderful! She took on house sitting last minute for us to travel to a funeral. I knew right away during the meet and greet my dogs were comfortable around her! Sent lots of updates and pictures during the 3 days. Also, can barely tell she was here (lol)- the house was left how she found it. Thanks so much- we will be contacting you again to help with our dogs!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a child and have a friend who is a vet if I have any questions that arise that I can’t readily answer. I can safely bath and administer medication if needed. My little dog is my whole world so yours will be too. I like to be able to provide piece of mind for people needing a sitter they can trust with a member of there family. It’s as important as if they were one of your children. I can crate your dog if you bring one. I live in a very secure property and work in the area so I am always close by.
About: Ever since my first pet fish, Freddy, in elementary school, I have live animals. I look forward to caring for your pets in your time of need 😊 I currently work full time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available during early mornings, at noon, and in the evenings. I am able to follow directions and requests that are family specific. I will respect the rules of your home. I treat all animals with love and respect.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 221 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clear 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 Clear 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 Clear 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 Clear 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
