“Cindy has come and puppy sat our 5 month old Beagle in our home for 2 days so far while my husband and I were at work. We were nervous as this is our first dog and first time using Rover. Cindy put us at such ease! She was GREAT with our boy and sent us updates during the day with pictures. We will definitely be using her more.”
“Susan always takes such great care of our boy when she stays. She stays over at our house - since he doesn’t like a change of scenery, and he is always at ease. She keeps the place spotless and I know I can trust her with our dog and our house.”
“Bunny took great care of our pups while we were out of town. She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout and goes above & beyond to make sure our home and pups are well taken care of. Thanks!!”
“Shelby was the absolute best while watching our two, incredibly-spoiled pups for a getaway weekend with family. She provided regular updates as well as photos/videos, and we'd be lucky to have her stay over at our house with the pups again. 10/10 would entrust her with our home and fur-family.”
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! ♡
About: I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely care for animals. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. My attention to detail ensures that feeding schedules, walks, and playtime are always consistent. Pets respond well to my calm and caring nature, making it easy for them to trust me and quickly feel at ease. I’m currently working full time however I’m available most evenings and weekends. Please contact me for more specifics. Thank you for your interest and time. I care for pets by making sure they are healthy, happy, and loved. I feed them nutritious food, give them clean water, and ensure they have a cozy place to rest. I spend time playing with them every day and take them for walks or provide toys to keep them active. plenty of affection help them feel secure and cared for.
“Stephanie was a life saver. I had a short notice booking. She was able to fit in a meet and greet, which was very important because we have a high anxiety dog. She was sweet and calm with my dogs, and also playful for my high energy dog. And our high anxiety dog started to warm up to her after a day or so: She left our home clean and orderly. Would definitely recommend!”
“Hannah was a fantastic sitter. She took great care of our pets, kept everything clean, and made the whole process easy with consistent updates. We came home to happy pets and a spotless space, which is exactly what you hope for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Joey did an excellent job staying with my senior pup while I was away from home. Kept me updated, ensured my pup got his medicines, and gave him lots of attention while I was gone. Would book again!!”
“Stephen stepped up when I had a near-emergency, last-minute need to book. No time for a meet & greet, everything set up via text...and did great. 2 big dogs (combined weight: 230lbs) in a big house, no problem. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
About: I have had animals my whole life from dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. My experience with caring and taking care of those different types of animals has allowed me to understand how to treat and care for them in the best way. I also have been know to spoil spoil every animal and get them whatever treats rhey want. Pet care fits into my daily routine because im always at home and i have my own car. I’m able to pick up and go whenever i need to. I have a fenced in yard and i often take my cats outside to room around the yard. When your pets come over they will have a huge backyard to run around in.
About: Hello, my name is Macheala Hamilton! I recently graduated with my bachelor’s degree and am currently working toward my master’s degree. I’m originally from Arkansas, but I’m currently staying with family in Georgia and would love the opportunity to care for some amazing pets while I’m in town. 🐾 I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a proud dog parent to two of my own babies, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I have previous experience working at a doggie daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve also helped friends by pet sitting and caring for their pets like they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just loving company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a stay at home student. I am completing my masters degree fully online while taking care of my 2 adorable dogs. I have a very flexible and open schedule due to being remote. I have a variety of experience with different dogs. I have a fenced in backyard so my dogs are able to run around outside when I need to leave the house. However, my friends dog that I sometimes watch have to be left inside a crate when no one is around. I fully understand that no one dog is the same
“Jackie was great with our cat and our home while we were away. She was able to recognize signs of stress and adjust the care she provided to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable (he is typically on the skittish/nervous side as it is, so we wanted to make sure he was in good hands while out of town). She also sent us photos and updates while we were away. She was very kind and respectful. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Naho was so sweet. She took great care of my cat and communicated with me daily. She went the extra mile to find things to do with my cat, making snacks for her and even made the cutest crochet hat for her! Love her!”
“This was my first time having Alexi watch my pups and home, and it definitely won't be the last! She did an awesome job, and judging by the photos of them snuggled up on her lap, you can tell they loved having her here! 🥰 She sent lots of updates, photos and videos. She also went above and beyond by working with my puppy, Bessie, on some training stuff. As far as my home, she was great with making sure all my mail and packages were brought in, trash bins went out on trash day, etc. It unfortunately rained here most of the time I was away, but she was great with managing the mud and wiping down the pups' paws when they came in from the backyard. Her attention to detail and top-notch communication were greatly appreciated, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur babies. ☺️”
“Cheyenne was amazing! This was my very first time using the service so I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed by her attention to detail and communication methods! She made sure I knew my baby was well taken care of with pictures and check ins daily. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she was is safe and capable hands. I will for sure use her again and I highly recommend her.”

Cindy took care of my 6 month old for a week. I am an anxious first time pet parent and she absolutely helped me get through the week in peace. She sent regular updates and pictures and I could see my little boy happy and playing in each of them. She is also super quick to respond. Thanks for all your help Cindy! We are thankful we found you.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Country Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Country Lake on Rover is $48.24 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,414 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Country Lake. On Rover:
- 94% 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.
