“Donna was a fantastic in-home pet sitter for my dog Sky. Sky is elderly and needed a lot of attention and Donna was very caring. She made sure she received meds and walks right on schedule. She was also very neat and clean in my home. I highly recommend Donna.”

“Thank you Melissa! Thank you for caring for my busy little ones and giving them so much attention, love and TLC while we were away. She followed all my instructions to a T, so medications were consistent and Ernie and Stella’s routine continued! So nice to come home to happy and not stressed dogs! I appreciate all the above and beyond extras like tending to my tiny seedlings and changing the battery of my central smoke alarm! Melissa gives great updates and asks all the right questions. Looking forward to next time, we are glad we found her!”

About: Hi, I'm Robin. I currently work as a nurse but have 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician at various animal hospitals.I was Fear Free certified at the last animal hospital I worked at and have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits. I grew up owning dogs and cats all of my life and I have been a volunteer dog walker at an animal shelter since I was 16 years old. I currently share my home with my rescue dog, Riley and three cats, Willow, Julius, and Chase. I have off from work on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays so I am available anytime but also willing to do the occasional walk/drop in on evenings after work. I have a lot of experience walking my dog as I am in an apartment so I walk her frequently and a lot of experience walking other dogs in all kinds of settings.

We’ve used rover a few times but she is by far the best we’ve experienced. She would get more than 5 ⭐️ if we could!!! If you’re worried about leaving your dog/dogs she’s the perfect person !!!”

About: As a life long dog owner, I know how important it is to have someone else in your circle to care for your pets. I have raised my own lab from a puppy and trained her to be the best house dog she can be! I love to be active and on the go! Senior dogs who want to soak up every moment this life has to offer is also in my wheel house. I'm currently working part time as a substitute teacher and I am done for the day around 2:30 pm. I will have evenings free for walks and boarding. I don't have children of my own, so offering services for pets is a way I can contribute to this new community I have found myself in. I have a fenced in yard and access to an open walking path within walking distance of my home. As a PE teacher, I am very active and love to stay moving after school. I have always believed a tired dog, is a happy dog :) I also have experience in nannying and professional organizing, so staying in a client's home is also something I am privy to.

“Having a strong connection with my boys, I hoped to find someone who could empathize. Rachel empathized and cared for my nervous lab and demanding staffy for 9 days. But more importantly she took time to get to know my guys and me. They were walked, cared for (during a storm, and late evening). The care Rachel provided helped me to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you, Rachel”

About: Over 10 years of experience caring for my own pets, fostering dogs for rescues and my local shelter, and pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life from bottle-feeding newborn puppies to meeting the special needs of senior dogs. I’m experienced with positive-reinforcement training, daily walks and exercise, specialized feeding routines, medications and individualized care needs. Most importantly, I understand that our four-legged companions aren’t “just pets” - they’re family. I provide every dog with the patience, love, attention, and personalized care I would want for my own. While I work full-time, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable pet care during evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine, whether you need a weekend sitter, evening visits, or extra care while you’re away for a holiday. My goal is to make your time away worry-free, knowing your pets are receiving plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I’m happy to care for your dogs in the comfort of their own home, following your instructions and maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I’ll tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training, medication, or simply providing companionship and attention.

About: I will provide a fun, family friendly home for your beloved pet to stay while you are away. I have had 1 wonderful dog of a mixed breed that I grew up with during my childhood and one large breed dog that I owned for 10 years during my young adulthood. I currently have 3 dogs at home, 2 pugs and a female golden retriever. I only hope they can bring joy and fulfillment to my children as they grow with our family. I appreciate the time and money that you have spent in utilizing a service such as this instead of a boarding kennel. Thank you for your consideration and I hope we can meet soon! I currently work from home so I am available to care for your beloved pet at anytime of the day. I can do multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. My hours are very flexible. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood if that is what you prefer or let them out into your backyard if you would like drop-in visits at your home. I also provide boarding at my home if that is what you need. I have an unfenced backyard with a lead in the ground so your pet can be in the backyard and have safety and security to run around or I can take them on walks if that is what you would like. I also provide overnight stays as well.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve done all the chores that come with them. I’ve had a big dog and a little dog almost my entire life. My big dog is now older, so I have to help him with his arthritis. I’ve had to pick up poop, feed them, walk them, and massage him. I don’t have a job currently, so I’m free for anyone’s convenience! Besides when I have to go to the gym, or when im on vacation. I have a fenced yard and a specific place for them to use the bathroom outside, and also have a pee pee pad inside that I switch out twice a day.

About: If you’re looking for a dependable, loving sitter who will treat your dog like family, you’ve come to the right place. I have years of experience dog sitting, house sitting, and caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, enjoying daily walks, keeping up with playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I believe pet care is about more than meeting basic needs, it’s about building trust and creating a positive experience for both you and your dog. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and favorite things, so they feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we meet. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive. I’m the sitter who gets down on the floor to play, remembers your dog’s little quirks after just one visit, and sends plenty of photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets! I am currently employed in the Howell area with my schedule varying but flexible. My work day starts in the afternoon/late afternoon into the evening. I can stay at a client’s home as I have experience with this. Most people I dog sit give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their furry friend as well as staying safe.I have experience staying at clients’ homes, so I can do this. Most dog sitters I know give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their pets and staying safe in the home.

About: I have been taking care of dogs/animals since my family brought home our first dog, a rescue, named Tank. From Tank, we brought home Snowy (a white German Shepard). My parents instilled in me from a very young age that I would have to help take care of our pets to not only learn responsibility, but also to truly love our pets by showing how to take care of them and so much more. We also had a few cats when I was growing up that I loved so much even though I didn't think I was a car person LOL! I took our dogs for walks, helped give them baths, and fed them on their schedules. I also went with my father to training with our dogs to thoroughly learn demands and how to approach our pets at a young age. My grandmother was also a pet sitter and when I lived with her few a short time I assisted with the dogs she would have at her home whenever she needed my assistance-walking, feeding, and sometimes bathing. Now, my husband and I are the parents to the most crazy, adorable, and full of life goldendoodles, Roman & Tukker! They have changed my life in more ways than I can describe! They are literally our children, and know it! 😅Having your own pupper is something so indescribably special and rewarding. We have self-trained them with commands- sit, stay, paw, in the crate. I hope to be trusted the way I was trusted growing up, and now with my own, with your family member I can safely assume is your everything as my boys are for me! Thank you for reading a little about me! I am flexible to work with your schedule! I am available M-F, and can work together with you if weekend availability is required! I'm here for YOU-let's work together to give you a stress-free experience and give your fur baby the best time while you are away! I will care for your baby the way I care for mine- with love, compassion, pets, and many walks/play time! Whatever your dog/animal needs I will follow your/their routine! My pups go for many walks a day (don't worry that won't interfere with me caring for yours!), eats 3 times a days around the schedule we have prepared for them at home, and we take them to the local tennis court in my neighborhood turned dog park to play fetch and get energy out! They LOVE car rides best of all! Let me show you and your fur baby the best!

Couldn't love Brandon more if we tried! He has the most calm and patient demeanor and took such good care of our little Dachshund, Ravioli. This was the first time we were leaving him alone with anyone but my fiance and me, so we were nervous. Brandon came for our dinners so we could have an evening out and he made fast friends with Ravioli. He also helped him through some firework fears as this was the 3rd of July. Ravioli was thrilled to see him on their second night and allowed us dinner in peace. Brandon threw his ball and played with him until he was all tuckered out. Thank you so much, Brandon!

Savannah dog & house sat for about 8 days for us. She was very responsible. It was nice that she took the time to come meet the dogs and go over what the job entailed prior to our vacation. We were pleased with the care she gave our pups, and how nicely she kept the house. We will absolutely hire her again, and would recommend her.

Hunter took wonderful care of my sweet animals while we were away. My senior dog wasn’t feeling well and was unable to move from her bed, which could have been incredibly stressful. Hunter handled the situation with so much care, patience, and compassion. She was able to easily administer her medications, made sure she was comfortable at all times, and gave her the attentive, thoughtful care she needed during a vulnerable moment. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and loving hands. She also made sure our cat was well cared for and loved while we were away. I’m incredibly grateful for Hunter and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and trustworthy pet caregiver.

My dogs were well cared for and seemed comfortable throughout the stay, and I appreciated receiving regular photo updates. Communication was smooth, and the house was left clean overall. I did notice that several personal items and pieces of furniture were moved and not returned to their original places. I also noticed that a larger amount of food and wine was used than I expected, including specialty items brought from outside the country that are difficult to find and usually last for months. These items were gone after a two week stay. While the pet care itself was good, clearer expectations around personal belongings and food would be helpful for future stays.

FAQs for House Sitting - Interlaken

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Interlaken is $85 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $85 and $85 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 November 2026, there are 14,444 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Interlaken. 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 Interlaken 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 Interlaken 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 Interlaken 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
