“This was only our second time leaving our puppy and Dawn was so warm and friendly. Brody warmed up to her right away and we didn’t worry a bit while gone! She sent pics while we were away too :)”
About: I've had pets since I was a kid and I'm a huge animal lover — the go-to person for pet care among family and friends. I currently have three cats of my own, so I'm very comfortable in multi-cat households — reading their individual personalities, sticking to feeding schedules, and keeping stress low when routines change. My biggest test was house-sitting for a neighbor for a full week, managing 4 dogs and 3 cats at once — juggling different feeding times and exercise needs without missing a beat. I'm calm under pressure, detail-oriented with instructions, and treat every home with respect and care as if it were my own. I work full-time (9–5), so I'm available for in-home visits, dog walking, and in-home overnight care before work, after work, and all weekend. I'm also an early riser, so morning visits work well too. I'm flexible and can accommodate most feeding, play, or walk schedules around my job. I live in an apartment set up specifically with cats in mind — window perches, a self-cleaning litter box, and a wall-mounted cat jungle gym with climbing shelves and hideaways. My own cat Milo also enjoys supervised leash walks outside, so I'm comfortable and experienced with that if your cat is leash-trained too. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first, whether that means sticking closely to their routine or just giving them space to settle in. While cats are my specialty, I also have real dog experience — I've taken dogs outside to play in open spaces, and I know how to walk them confidently and keep them engaged. I once house-sat for a neighbor for a full week, caring for 4 dogs and 3 cats together. I'm also not afraid to set boundaries when needed, so your dog gets both playtime and structure.
“Laralyn was super sweet, extremely responsive & an amazing sitter for our Coco!! We really appreciated her kind & professional nature, her communication & the photos she sent us of our fur baby while we were away. Laralyn took such great care of Coco - gave her lots of cuddles and snuggles. She left our house spotless & left us with peace of mind, knowing our house and puppy were in wonderful hands. We won’t hesitate to book with Laralyn again, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!! ☺️💗🐶”
“Alexis was the greatest kind and compassionate towards our Buddy dog. Treated our home like it was hers. Sent us videos and pictures of his care and happiness. Strongly recommended our dog is timid around new people but they bonded in less than 5 minutes.”
“Lily kept our sweet dog in our home and did a great job. She sent pics and kept us updated. We felt so relieved to have found her and had a great trip knowing our dog was in such good hands. Would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of of dogs and cats since I could remember. Neighbors, parents friends, or even my friends would ask me to help watch or spend time with their loved animals, I always found meeting new dogs and cats exciting and getting to know their personalities and grow with them quite rewarding, I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat which I am very committed to taking care of and ensuring they live long, happy, and healthy lives. I will always treat any animal as it’s my own, with love, care, and affection. I currently am working 7-3 Wednesday-Sunday and have time after that to take care of any loving pets, as well as my own as I spend time with them and fit their needs, I am dedicated to being able to come right after work, or any event in order to ensure your pet is well taken care of I treat any pet as their are my own. I have trained my dogs to be able to go outside in a unfenced backyard and remain on our property, by rewarding self control, and urges to run off they are skilled well in being able to be outside on their own and when to alert me to be let outside to use the bathroom. Inside the home there are many toys and beds for them to live a comfy and playful life inside with a safe environment for my pets.
About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16. My family got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I now as an independent adult have 2 dogs who I’ve had the pleasure of raising as puppies to where they are at now. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.
About: I have always grown up with pets, from dogs to rodents I’ve always had some fur little friend in my life. I adore being able to make a pets life more enjoyable and bright, whether that means going out and about or being a couch potato, I want to be there. I just recently got accepted to a master program at Notre Dame (crazy excited), due to that I have class from eight to noon Monday through Thursday and for the month of August and partially into September. I will have a Friday class however most afternoons I should be free and if not, I will always work with my schedule and your schedule to find the best time that works to see your pets! I personally love having a directions list, something that I can follow to keep both your mind and my mind at peace knowing that what is written down will make sure that you pet will be safe and still have a good time. I would also love to be able to meet you and your pet before any bookings so that both you and your pet feel comfortable with who I am!
About: Excited to meet your best friend! I know how important it can be to trust someone with your animal, because they are like family. I’m a very artistic person, and I have a lot of love to give to your furry companion! I Love the outdoors, and I also love a nice chill afternoon on the couch. I have a small black bug who is amazing with all other animals. I’m hoping to make best friends with some of your furry friends! For in-home visit I can definitely be trusted, respect is a Number one priority. I am hoping to have regular clients, so that you can feel safe with the person taking care of your animal! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Open! My schedule right now is very open I am available to do walks as well as in home visits and overnight if requested. Thx I have lots of patience for all types of dogs behavior, I know that they are always missing mom and dad and know how to assure and comfort them. Always making sure I have eyes on them is always important
“We are thrilled with the care and kindness that Alex showed our bull terrier, Stella. Alex went above and beyond what was expected. Our dog was fed, exercised and totally taken care of. Our home was kept clean and he brought in mail and packages too. Texts and pictures were sent daily to keep us informed of how she was doing. Alex was polite and respectful. Since Stella can't tolerate kennels she was much happier at home with Alex. We would recommend Alex to anyone. Stella gives him a five star rating and so do we. Kay and Dave”
“April watched our gaggle of pups when we had to unexpectedly go out of town. She did an amazing job with them, was responsive, and I felt at ease knowing she had a handle on our crew. We have a puppy and an older guy needing medical care and she handled both so well. I would definitely recommend April!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 271 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hudson 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 Hudson 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 Hudson 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 Hudson 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.
