“Cindy was a great sitter for Tippy! He is a very anxious dog. She was patient with him and waited until he came to her. She worked with him to get him to eat while I was gone. I highly recommend Cindy! She worked with me when I had to leave a day early. She came in and took care of things.”
“Amanda was awesome. We have two dogs with opposite personalities and one who can be reactive. Amanda gave clear and consistent updates throughout the visit and sent great photos as well. She was able to bond with our reactive dog and keep an eye on our skiddish one. We have already rebooked her for the next trip.”
“Shelby is an excellent house and pet sitter. She is loving and caring with our dogs. The dogs really enjoyed their time with her. She took care of our home and it was a pleasure to not worry while we travelled. We highly recommend her.”
“Susan was amazing! She took time to meet with me and my dog Bella. During this visit, Bella sat on the couch with Susan and laid her head in Susan's lap and went to sleep. While I was away, Susan sent me pictures so I could see Bella was doing ok. I definitely want Susan to stay with Bella again!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! I had to find a sitter last minute, and I loved her bio the moment I read it. She responded quickly to my request and made sure to nail out the details for my dog’s stay. I could tell she’s experienced and loves animals, and so could my dog! She sent regular updates and pictures, and when I saw my dog frolicking in her backyard and snuggled up later on in the evening like he forgot I had dropped him off was all I needed to set my mind at ease haha! Lauren is a fantastic sitter and I will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Naho was amazing! She went above and beyond for my pup even got her some toys. Although it was mother’s day we came to an agreement that worked for both of us and I’m glad I picked Naho as my sitter. Very detailed as many photos and check ins were sent throughout the visit and also was extremely punctual and kind. Definitely will be booking again and again 😁”
“Carole was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with our 1.5-year-old rescue puppy and our 11-year-old cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was friendly, reliable, and consistently sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Carole spent quality time caring for and playing with our puppy, making sure his energy and needs were met, while also being respectful of both pets’ unique personalities and boundaries—especially important for our older cat. It was clear she truly cares about animals and takes the time to understand them individually. We would highly recommend Carole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and we”
“Alyssa did a great job watching our pup while we were out of town for a few days. She sent us pictures everyday. She checked up on our pup as agreed, we’ll definitely ask her to watch our Little Lailah in the future.”
“We’ve used Hannah multiple times and she has been fantastic every time. She’s very communicative while we’re away and always keeps us updated, which gives us great peace of mind. Our pets clearly adore her and are always happy and relaxed when we return. They love to snuggle with her, and it’s obvious she genuinely enjoys spending time with them. We would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Jessica was amazing with my dogs. They were well take care of and she took the time to play with them and give them love and attention. I will definitely ask her to watch them again if I need a sitter and I highly recommend her”
About: Hello and welcome! I'm Heather, but I go by Xel (pronounced •zel•) and it's nice to meet you! I have owned more dogs and cats (as well as a ferret, lizard, fish, and a spider and have handled various others) than I can count through the years (I'm almost 40 and we've had a LOT!). Everything from domestic shorthair to Bengal-mix and Schnauzers to German Shepherds. I have house-sat for both friends and family for many years (short and extended!) and I have administered medicine in pill form, as well as inhaler (would be willing to learn injections if necessary). Our oldest cats have lived 18 years, and I currently own four cats (all rescues, aged 2 to 16). Our oldest dogs have lived 15+ I believe, but it's been a long time since owning one (my parents are disabled). I have done a bit of training with dogs and cats alike, but I am not a professional. I'm HIGHLY flexible, so if you would like to know more, feel free to reach out! If you've made it this far, have a lovely day! ♡ I'm available at a moments' notice the majority of the time! This includes overnights, emergencies, and short/extended stays. As long as there is clear communication, I'll do my best to aid in any situation, even if it's within the hour! ♡ For our own cats, our oldest, Max, has to be fed separately from the others, as he needs a higher calorie diet than the others. All of the cats are treated with flea medication and I clean multiple litter boxes several times a week. For friends and family, I have had feeding schedules for both dogs and cats, ranging from custom mixed and weighed portions to simply making sure the auto-feeders/fountains are kept clean and filled. My best friend's dog gets playtime and outside time (he has a runner and a ton of toys to play fetch with). My Aunt's cat would need constant watch, as he needed an inhaler if he walked too far or his anxiety flared. I'm also open to doing light chores, so feel free to reach out with any and all questions! Thank you for your consideration! ♡
“Ken is amazing!! He took great care of Dixie (and my home) while I was away, and will definitely book him again!!! He's greatly professional and his love of dogs shines through!”
About: I bring a calm, dependable energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I've cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and even newborn kittens and puppies. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, pets who need a gentler pace, and animals who benefit from extra patience and attention. I'm also very routine-oriented and make sure your pet's schedule stays consistent. You'll always receive photo updates, check-ins, and clear communication, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I also offer light housekeeping during stays to keep your home tidy and stress-free for your return. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind through reliable care. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life, so working with animals fits smoothly into my routine. I structure my days around my pet-sitting schedule, which means your pet always gets my full attention during visits and plenty of time for walks, feeding, play, or just relaxing together. I'm also a college student, and Rover helps me earn money for school while still allowing me to keep a flexible, reliable schedule for the pets I care for. I make safety and comfort my top priorities in every home I enter. I closely follow each pet's routine, maintain a calm environment, and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are always secure. I keep your home tidy, refresh food and water, and give plenty of attention and supervision. I also send photo updates so you can feel completely at ease while you're away.
“Kaylan was fantastic house sitting and watching over my 2 dogs and 2 cats. She took great care of my energetic dogs and followed all my pet instructions. I appreciated the daily updates and photos. And my house was tidy on my return. Definitely will be using Kaylan again!”
“Thank you for taking care of my over grown puppy. Greatly appreciated. Looking at your schedule. Amazing young lady. Very kind, gentle, respectful and amazing with my GSD who needs lots of attention.”
“She did such a great job staying with our two old lady dachshunds! Gave us the peace of mind we needed while we are away, with lots of photo updates, responsive, on time, and took great care of them and our home. Will definitely be having her come stay with the girls again!”
About: I provide reliable, compassionate care and treat every dog like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, and I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra patience, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. Especially with my two that I have! I have taken pride in my experience to take the best care for them in any way! Easy; it’s my life lol. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I am organized, reliable, and able to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Ann-Marie showed up before the schedule time. Made my dog ECHO Comfortable..Gave him his food and took him out for potty breaks. Took very good care of him. Very professional and courteous. Will definitely use her service again next time.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Country Lake
Cindy is the only reason I was able to relax and enjoy my time away from my 2 corgis and spicy kitty. She has a wonderful vibe, and my anxious little girl corgi took to her immediately. We came home to 3 very happy and well cared for fur babies . As first time Rover users, we feel like we started with the absolute best pet sitter on the platform. We loved getting the pictures and videos she sent us daily, and her communication was great. She is an absolute angel, and we can't thank her enough!
I wish they had more than 5 stars! Susan was so professional as she stayed to care for our 2 rat terriers. When we were gone she sent pictures of our pups. We felt so secure that she was caring for our pups the whole time. I would whole hardly recommend her for sitting for your pet. We certainly hire her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Country Lake on Rover is $48.33 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 4,443 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Country 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 Country 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 Country 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 Country 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
