Doug is such a caring person. He took amazing care of our dog and house for more than a week. Our dog absolutely loved him. Moreover he took care of our plants and fish. He also did a very beautiful sketch of our dog. He is so talented! We are highly recommending him!

Stephanie is absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our dog Summit! She went above and beyond for us while we were out of the country ! I truly can’t say enough amazing things about her and has become like family to us. She’s extremely reliable, common,and treats your pet as if her own. She sent tons of pics so we wouldn’t miss her too much while gone. We will use her again in a second on our next trip away ❤️

Melinda is wonderful! She went above and beyond taking care of our needy dog while we were away. He is not the easiest due to his fear of thunderstorms. She followed our instructions, gave him his meds and made sure he felt safe. She kept us informed and sent regular updates so we didn’t have to worry. We came home to a clean house and a calm, happy dog. We will definitely book her again.

Alyssa was available to take care of my boy at the last minute, and im not sure why she was available to book because she did an amazing job caring for my 75 pound siberian husky. She went above and beyond to ensure his needs were met and provided lots of photo updates to put my mind at rest that everything was going fine.

Melissa was a pleasure to meet and my dog enjoyed having her company for the weekend. Melissa came prepared to our meet and greet with questions to ask, so I could tell her main priority was making sure my dog was well taken care of. She provided me with updates throughout the weekend and even sent me a few photographs of my smiling dog. When Melissa couldn't find Emma's toys she even went out and purchased her a brand new ball. Upon my return my dog was relaxed, and everything in the house was just as it was left. I will be sure to book Melissa for my next trip! Thank you, Melissa!!

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner for 10 years, I’m now embarking on a new chapter after 24 wonderful years in Chicago. Following a long career in advertising sales, I’m seeking a slower-paced, more fulfilling path — one that lets me combine my reliability with my love for animals. At 49, I bring maturity, responsibility, and genuine care to every pup I watch, ensuring your they are looked after as if they were my own. Also, the doodle you see in some pics is my amazingly chill, gets along with every living thing, sidekick Lambeau. So please note your dog(s) must be okay with other dogs. I'm currently taking some time off and won't be going back to remote work until the fall '26, at the earliest. So I'm very flexible with my time at the moment. I live in an apartment complex (2 bed / 2 bath) with a huge unfenced grassy area off my lanai, that Lambeau and I call our own backyard. I also live across the street from John Chesnut park, in the Tarpon Woods area so Lambeau and I spend lots of time at that huge dog park and/or exploring the various trails. So if you're open to that as well, I'll gladly take your pup(s) over there for some adventures.

Madison has been a pleasure to work with! Our two pups love her as much as she loves them. She treats them like her own and utilizes the tools we have in place so they can continue their training even when I'm not here. She goes above and beyond to help keep Bo and Tater comfortable while I'm out of town, this helps to ease my mind so I can enjoy my trips instead of worrying the whole time.

About: Ive been taking care of cats & dogs since I was 10 years old, I understand the want for you baby's to be safe and well cared for. I have volunteered at animal hospitals, shelters and rescues since I was 14 and I truly have a love and passion for taking care of the furry creatures of the world. I am currently working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your baby. I have every Tuesday and Wednesday off, and I only work 4-6 hours at time. I unfortunately cannot board your animal at my house but I am more than willing to come to your house to take care of your pets. :)

Melinda was wonderful and we recommend her to anyone considering her services. She was prompt for our meet-and-greet and brought a notebook to write down answers to her questions. While she watched our furry friends she sent daily pictures was communicative. We arrived home to a tidy house and happy pets! We will absolutely rebook with Melinda.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in East Lake on Rover is $35.59 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 3,877 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East 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 East 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 East 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 East 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 East Lake. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
