“Stephanie and Scott cared for my pups and sent regular updates and photos. They are amazing and did a wonderful job! I would highly recommend Stephanie and Scott to care for your pets!”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter with Regan. She was so attentive to my baby and took him on all the adventures. I would say I can’t wait to book her again, but I already have two additional stays booked with her…..Otis and I could not be more excited. She sent photos galore that made me so happy. Otis was a tired pup when I arrived home so I knew he had the absolute best time.”
“Marg was super great with our elderly dog, Maggie! She sent regular updates and appreciated her special needs! We highly recommend Marg for drop in visits and/or house sitting.”
“Kim has spent a few days with Blu and has done an incredible job taking care of him! She is quick to respond and send updates, and Blu has had so much fun playing with her! I would absolutely recommend her care and would definitely use her care again 😊”
“Vesta took great care of our and cats at our home. She sent photos of all of them and kept us updated when she arrived and left. It was awesome that she came to meet them before the booking so we knew they’d be comfortable with her. Pepperoni thanks you for the couch snuggles, Vesta!”
About: Welcome to my profile. I am Lauren, a 22-year-old animal care professional with six years of experience in veterinary medicine. I hold a Fear Free Certification. Recently, I welcomed a three-month-old infant into my family, which has been a rewarding experience. I also provide pet sitting services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays at clients' residences. I care for a wide variety of animals, ranging from reptiles and small mammals to horses, although I prefer to avoid handling spiders and snakes due to personal discomfort. Should you have any inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My schedule is flexible, as I work PRN, and I am dedicated to supporting pet owners in the care of their animals. Thank you for considering my services and trusting me with your pets. I only work PRN(as needed) at Munson Foster Family, watching animals has always been a hobby for me. I will always make time for your fur baby. I prefer to care for the Client’s animals in their own home because it helps them feel more comfortable and secure. Moving to a new environment can be stressful for pets, especially those with anxiety, so staying in their familiar space makes a big difference. I’ve seen how this approach can really soothe anxious pets and help them feel at ease.
“Madison was phenomenal with Rigel and Inara. She was attentive and went above and beyond checking in on them and keeping them entertained. I greatly appreciated her watching them.”
“My dog seemed happy & well cared for after time with Gail :) Was grateful to have her take care of my sweet girl who just doesn’t want to be alone. She sent updates and pictures & I didn’t feel like I had to worry about my dog. Will rebook Gail again if ever in the area again.”
“Abbie was WONDERFUL! I needed a sitter at the last moment due to a work trip and she made me feel so at ease leaving Otis with a new person. She was thorough on communication and sent the best photos of my boy. Can not wait to use her again in the future!”
“Thank you to James for helping us out over the holidays! James was great with communication and our dogs took to him right away; they could tell he’s a dog person. He also went out of his way to help with things around the house that came up while he was here. Will definitely reach out to him again when we are in need. Thanks James!”
“Sara was wonderful with our Watson. We came home to a better behaved pup than when we left. We had to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. It was wonderful not to have to worry about our pup too since Sara takes such good care of him. Thank you Sara!”

Stephanie blended right away into our furry family, even winning over our two "scaredy cats" within a couple of days! Her playful and peaceful energy was perfect for them and her responsibility, attention to details, and genuine care for them and my home put me at perfect peace to be away from home. For the first time, I felt like I had a relaxing vacation and so did my pets!
Regan is awesome. I cannot say enough about her care of my Griffs and house. This was the first time using a sitter. I was very nervous about having someone in my home for 17 days and not being familiar with them. This was also the first time our 15 month pups had been watch by anyone but us. Regan sent texts with pics or video everyday, sometimes multiple times. My house was cleaner than when I left. Rebel and Ransom had baths, nails cut and a eyebrow trim. I am very, very happy with her. Hopefully, the hounds will be happy with just us now. If she has availability, book her, just leave some spots for my girls.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Interlochen is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $69 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.

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 Interlochen 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 Interlochen 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 Interlochen 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.

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.
