“Highly recommend Jayne! We had her come to our home to look after our two cats and dog. She handled all three with care and professionalism; providing lots of photos, updates, and one on one attention. I was a little nervous initially because we have a large American Akita that is very regimented, but Jayne had no problem following his typical walk/play schedule, and managing his handling. She was incredibly respectful of our home, making sure it was left in the same condition as when we left, and additionally watered our plants for us. She was very easy to work with, and her love for animals really shows! Will absolutely be using her as our go-to in the future.”
“Emily was awesome with our puppy. She sent me regular updates, was a clear communicator, and left our house super tidy. Would definitely book her again and recommend her to others!”
“Athena is very kind, punctual, and a good communicator. Our house was just as clean as I left it and our dog was in great spirits. She gave our dog his medicine and took notes on the times of medicine. I also enjoyed the pictures and updates and summary of activities. 10 out of 10 would have Athena again.”
“Jillian was wonderful. She asked great questions at our meet and greet, followed all of our instructions for Elly, and the house looked the exact same as we left it. Would definitely hire her again in the future for our dog sitting needs!”
“Katherine did another excellent job house sitting with our pup. This was during a time when in our neighborhood there were unfortunately still illegal fireworks being set off almost every night. My dog is extremely anxious around fireworks and Katherine helped to comfort her each time by trying different methods. She sent me an update on how things were going each day. She also kept the house looking as clean or cleaner than it was when we left. Thank you Katherine!”
“Cedric was great! Communicative, understanding when our grumpy anxious senior dog barked a bit at their arrival, and took good care of our buddy and home. We’d love to book them again!”
“Wow, Miranda goes above and beyond. As the former owner of a doggy daycare I give Miranda an easy 5 star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. She was communicative, easy going, caring but best of all she understood our dog! In the videos I could tell instantly my dog was smitten and comfortable which meant a lot while I was so far away. I returned home to a clean home and a happy dog .”
“Alex took great care of Parker on their overnight stay together. She arrived on time and sent cute pics the next day. Would recommend her. Parker was safe and well cared for. Thanks Alex!”
“Dylan was flexible, communicative, and knowledgeable. I really appreciated his ability to roll with scheduling changes. Ace and him seemed to really hit it off which is the most important to me!”
“I don’t even know where to begin. My husband and I rarely go on trips together. We have three dogs, they are all different ages with different care levels, and finding someone to care for them has always been challenging. Our family planned to go on an Alaskan cruise, and we decided to join them. We reached out to Karen and she was SO responsive. She got back to us quickly and agreed to do a meet and greet. Our dogs LOVED her immediately. We have a 6 year old street dog whom we rescued from Mexico. He is very sweet but is slow to warm up to people. Within a few minutes of Karen being at the house he was begging her for pets. It was decided right then that Karen would be watching our fur babies. Fast forward a few weeks and we are all lined up and ready to go on our trip. We’ve done a pack walk with Karen and have walked her through their daily needs. Karen is very thorough and wants as much information about your pets as she can get. To make sure everyone was good to go, my husband and I took our senior dog to the vet to get her arthritis shot. We wanted to make sure she would be comfortable while we were gone. At the vet appointment, we got heartbreaking news. Our veterinarian had a difficult and honest conversation with us about our dog’s health and quality of life. Our senior was 19 years old and had started experiencing some cogitative decline and mobility issues. After several long discussions and uncertainty about our pup’s health while we would be gone, we decided it was time to allow our sweet baby to cross the rainbow bridge. We were devastated and, as you could imagine, were experiencing some anxiety and uncertainty about leaving the other two dogs. When we explained to Karen what happened, she provided so much comfort and security. She let us know that there wasn’t any pressure to go on the trip and assured us that if we did, she would make sure our dogs were well loved on. We ended up going to Alaska. During our trip, Karen sent us photos and videos, and made sure to give us daily updates. If we request additional photos or videos, she always sent them no questions asked. She went out of her way to make us feel at ease, and it really helped give us the space and peace of mind to process everything that happened. Having Karen care for our fur babies not only allowed us to go on a family trip, it’s also allowed us to grieve our loss without having to carry the stress of the day-to-day and making sure the other dogs were taken care of. It goes without saying, but we will definitely book with Karen again. If you’re considering hiring Karen for your pets, I highly recommend it. You will be a so happy you did. Thank you Karen. We truly appreciate you, and the love and care you extend to Doodle and Wendi while we were gone.”
“This is my first time using Rover and we were looking for an overnight sitter for mainly my little Genee girl who has never not had family around her. Anika filled that gap for us and did an amazing job. She put up with all my messages and provided pictures of Genee on walks and playing. She even included pics of the cat lounging around as usual. I was worried about leaving Genee for the first time but Anika made it much easier for me! I would highly recommend her and I will be calling upon her again when we need a sitter!”
“Roree is an excellent dog sitter. She is very trustworthy and reliable. She keeps us updated with pictures and texts on how Willow is doing. Willow loves Roree!!!! The house is spotless when we return. When we book with her she communicates quickly with us. She is very conscientious and always arrives on time. We are so pleased to have found her!!!”
“Tashi was an amazing dog sitter and I will definitely use him again. He stopped by a few days ahead of time for a meet and greet, stopped by again the day I left for an in-person hand off, and was patient with me as it took a bit of extra time for me to leave for my road trip. He was communicative, responsive, took great care of the pups and my home. Thanks so much, Tashi!!”
“Tiana is a cat whisperer I swear. She took such great care of my cats and home while we were away, I will definitely book her again if possible! One of my cats is incredibly anti-social, but she came out of hiding right away and consistently throughout Tiana’s visits. She sent me pictures and videos at every visit, which helped the separation tremendously. She handled my cats picky eating like a pro, and took care of any messes my cats made. She went above and beyond in all ways possible, and we came home to a clean nice smelling apartment and happy cats. Thank you so much Tiana!”
“Jay knocked it out of the park once again! This is our 3rd time having them petsit for us and as always we are thankful for everything they do. Our dog had fun, our home is spotless and we were able to go away and not worry. Thank you!”
“Penny’s attentive house-sitting made our dog and two cats happy and relaxed while we were out of town. She sends cute pet photos, is a good communicator, and is a great person. Highly recommended!”
“Kathy is the absolute best. My kitties look forward to her visits and wait on the bed she sleeps in after she leaves, hoping she’ll come back to snuggle with them some more.”
“I was super nervous about leaving my cat, Oliver for a week. I had never been away from him for that long. Brittani was wonderful! She sent me updates with pictures of my little guy. I’m glad she was available during the Christmas holiday.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Interlachen is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Interlachen
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Izzy and the care she provided for our two cats while we were away. Having someone stay in our home and care for our boys, especially with one of them having significant medical needs- requires an incredible amount of trust, and Izzy truly exceeded our expectations. Our cat Orange has Congestive Heart Failure and requires a very specific care routine. Before leaving, I prepared a detailed Care Packet with instructions for his medications, monitoring, and what to watch for. Izzy followed everything to a T. She administered his oral heart medications every morning and evening with ease and took his care extremely seriously. What impressed me even more was that she created her own tracker in her notes to record Orange’s resting respiratory rate (breaths per minute/BPM) and consistently monitored him according to the guidelines I provided. As a pet parent with a medically complex cat, having someone who was willing to be this attentive and thorough gave me an incredible amount of peace of mind while we were away. Izzy was also extremely communicative throughout the entire stay. She sent us updates and photos every day, kept us informed about how both boys were doing, and made it clear they were getting plenty of attention, cuddles, and love. ❤️ She was also incredibly respectful of our home. We never asked or expected her to clean, but she went out of her way to leave our home exceptionally clean and cared for. She was so thoughtful and detailed, and coming home to everything so beautifully taken care of was such an unexpected and appreciated gesture. She truly treated our home with the same level of care and respect that she gave our cats. Before our trip, I had asked Izzy if she would like to have anyone stay with her while we were away so she wouldn’t have to be alone, and she asked if her longtime boyfriend, Taytum, could accompany her. We were happy to have him, and he was incredibly kind, respectful, and trustworthy as well. We felt completely comfortable having them both in our home and around our boys. It is not easy for me to leave Orange because of his heart condition, so finding someone I can genuinely trust with his medications, respiratory monitoring, and overall well-being means everything to me. Izzy was responsible, attentive, communicative, caring, respectful, and incredibly thorough. I would absolutely trust Izzy with our boys and our home again without hesitation. I highly recommend her, especially to anyone looking for a sitter who is comfortable following detailed care instructions or caring for a pet with additional medical needs. We came home to two very loved and well-cared-for boys, an immaculate home, and the feeling that everything had truly been in good hands while we were away. We are so grateful for Izzy! 🧡💛
From the first time we met, and Ollie and Winnie met Dylan we felt an easiness. The dogs didnt response in a negitive way, but only wiggled, licked and snuggled with him. It made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Thank you Dylan for taking such good care of both our fur babies, but our house was still spotless and our flowers were watered and taken care of. We will use you again.
Kaeleigh was excellent and very communicative. One of our dogs had an ongoing GI issue that needed extra attention, meds, and unfortunately, clean-up. She handled it like a pro. The dogs took to her and behaved like she was part of the family. It was very easy to see that she had cared for them as we would have while we were away.
Maryola did such an amazing job watching my dog skyla! She gave me updates whenever i asked, and sent me pictures as well! I felt very confident leaving skyla with her! She did such a great job! Skyla is a nervous dog but when she sent me pictures of her she looked so happy and calm! So i would book with her if i were you! Thank you so much again Maryola!
Michelle was fantastic! She was very through with our dogs and made sure everyone was getting what they needed! Sent lots of pictures and even cleaned our house and outdoor area! She even looked after our goats and did a terrific job. It was so nice to not have to worry about our babies we were able to relax knowing they were in good hands
Andrew is great. He came over early to meet our 3 littles and do a walkthrough, which was very comforting for us. He also honored our animal-product-free-home rule and was very gracious about it. He stayed over NYE to help us with a housesitting gap, and we had zero issues! Thanks, Andrew!
Rebecca was so kind, gentle and my pup got such good care while I was away. He has epilepsy., so I have been really picky on who I leave him with and often just opt to drive so I can take him with me! Rebecca was such a great communicator, clean, respectful and really responsible for feeding times and medications. He really took to her, which says a lot about who Rebecca is. I will definitely book them again.
Mariah was AMAZING!! She stayed at our house for a week while we were out of town to take care of our 2 pets. She provided daily updates with photos and was responsive throughout the week. When we came home we couldn't believe how clean and untouched our house looked. We'll definitely use Mariah's services again if we need a sitter. She is the best!
Jaclyn is so great. Our dogs loved her, even our more difficult one. Jaclyn is excellent at being calm and attentive. She left the house spotless and played with the pups. She sent the perfect amount of updates and pics. Fancy and Elliot seemed to love her and we would definitely hire her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Interlachen on Rover is $58 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 4,450 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Interlachen. 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 Interlachen 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 Interlachen 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 Interlachen 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 Interlachen. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
