“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and other pets with patience, love, and responsibility. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and trustworthy hands! I have a flexible schedule and can make time for your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s regular routine. I’ll communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate reasonable scheduling requests with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications when appropriate, walking routines, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure pets are supervised and secure. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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 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.”
About: I’ve been looking after pets for 15 years. I love spending time with pets. I have provided care to many dogs and a few cats. I’m currently working part time. I am available to care for your pets most days from 9am till 10 pm. I look forward to meeting your pets. I love hanging out with pets. I’m good with walking them playing with them and even having a good snuggle if they what they desire
“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!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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!!”
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.
“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!”
“5 stars! Hannah is our go-to sitter and always takes great care of our pets and home. Excellent communication, regular updates, and everything was in great shape when we got back. We never worry when Hannah is staying with Dakota and Watson. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I'm so glad you're here! 🐾My love for animals started when I was a kid. I remember spending time at the library reading dog breed books and learning about all the different personalities and traits that make each animal unique. That passion turned into my first job at 13 when I started helping at my neighbor's dog grooming salon. I began walking her dogs and other neighbors' dogs, then started dog sitting as well. It was the best first job I could have asked for because I got to spend my time doing something I truly loved. For over 10 years, I have continued building my experience with animals through dog walking, pet sitting, working at PetSmart, Petco, and boarding facilities. I have cared for pets with different breeds, ages, personalities, and needs, and I love creating a safe and comfortable environment where they feel loved. I truly love all animals and believe every pet deserves kindness, patience, and compassion. I care for both dogs and cats, and I even look after the stray cats in my neighborhood because I believe every animal deserves care and a little extra love. My dream is to open my own doggy daycare one day, and caring for pets through Rover allows me to continue doing what I love while building meaningful relationships with pets and their families. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! 🐶🐱 I work during the day, but I am available for pet care after 4 PM on weekdays and have availability on weekends. I enjoy using my free time to care for animals, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, or simply giving pets some extra love and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow their normal routines and provide dependable care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love being able to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine, respect their home, and provide the same love and attention I would want for my own animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is to give both pets and owners peace of mind.
“Rosalind was a great dog sitter for our big anxious baby. She gave continuous updates and sent photos so we had peace of mind while gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I promise I'm not a Judgmental vegan lol. I simply love animals and believe they should are be treated with love and respect. Your fur babies will be in great hands.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,459 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

- 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.
