“Aislin was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took great care of Bonnie....she sent messages and pictures while I was gone. When I returned, Bonnie was completely relaxed and calm, so I know that she was well cared for. Aislin also took great care of my house. Everything was neat and tidy when I returned. She was very flexible and willing to help out when I had a delay in my flights. She was also very responsive to any messages I sent. I highly recommend Aislin and will definitely be calling on her the next time I need to be out of town!”

“We are so pleased with the care Eric provided for our three pups while we were away. It is evident how much he genuinely cares about dogs. While we were away, Eric was super responsive and sent photo updates, which we greatly appreciated! When we got home, Arlo, Poppi Mae, and Edison were all so happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Eric is professional, trustworthy, and wonderful with dogs. We will definitely be reaching out to him again to take care of our hounds!”

“We highly recommend Sydney! She stayed with our two dogs for three nights and was great at communicating with us when needed. She also provided pics and updates. Our flight home was a late night flight and we knew the dogs would be okay for the amount of time we planned for them to be alone, but she went above and beyond and stopped back to let them out an extra time. The dogs seemed content when we got home and I think they would give her two paws up 🐾 Thank you Sydney!”

About: I have a deep connection with everything living. Growing up with animals on my side throughout my childhood and having 5 at one time was a lot of work but it was surly amazing. I really want a fun job over the summer between school years. I love working hard and overachieving where i should be. Animals help me keep it together and always put a smile on my face no matter what Dog sitting for people i didn't know was a little weird in the beginning than my moms bookclub all started asking me. On top of meeting all the different crazy puppies and their little different perks I loved going back and them remembering me.

About: What sets me apart is my diverse, hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Through several years of pet and house sitting on TrustedHousesitters, I've provided reliable, loving care for dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has unique needs and personality traits, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment while you're away. My goal is to give both pets and owners complete peace of mind. Because I work remotely, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, companionship, walks, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. I enjoy incorporating exercise, outdoor time, and enrichment activities into my day while ensuring each pet's individual needs and routines are maintained. My ability to travel also gives me the flexibility to accommodate house sitting and extended care opportunities. Having spent several years caring for dogs and cats through TrustedHousesitters, I am comfortable adapting to different homes, routines, and animal personalities. Whether it's daily walks, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

Jacey was amazing with our two Great Danes. She stayed with them for two nights. She was attentive, communicative, and reliable. She handled our shy boy very well and even got some snuggles from him on the last day. We will absolutely ask for her services again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Eagle Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Eagle Lake is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $58 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 106 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eagle 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 Eagle 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 Eagle 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 Eagle 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eagle Lake. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
