This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!

This was the first time I have ever employed a Pet service to care for my pet. At the Meet and Greet, my dog, Coco, warmed up to Audriss immediately. I knew then that she would take care of Coco with kindness, patience, and attentiveness otherwise Coco would be off-standish. I wasn't wrong. Audriss presents herself very well. I could assess that she is knowledgeable about pet care and cares about the pets she is caring for. Her communication with me was perfect. Her responses were timely. She was respectful of the place I was staying at which I appreciated. I will use Audriss's pet service again when I am vacationing in Glen Arbor. I highly recommend her to care for your pet(s).

Had a great experience with Dave watching my senior pup while I was on a work trip. He was very clear on his schedule and the attention he'd give my dog. He sent frequent updates and sent a bunch of pictures. Everything went great and I came home to a happy dog.

Dropping our dogs off at Jennifer’s felt like leaving them with friends rather than a kennel. Our boys seemed happy, relaxed and comfortable. In the past at other overnight places, when we arrive to pick them up, our dogs are usually choking themselves trying to get out the door and to our car. They were in no rush to leave this time. We also appreciated the text updates with pictures.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently share my home with multiple of my own. From tiny terriers to giant mastiffs, energetic puppies to senior and anxious dogs, I’ve handled it all, including medications and special routines. I love getting dogs outdoors on trails and walks, and my flexible schedule means I’m reliable when you need me. Dogs are a daily part of my life, so pet care isn’t an add-on. I am an elementary special education assistant for TCAPS during the school year, so I have a very flexible schedule in the summer, which means I can fit walks and drop-ins around whatever works best for you. I treat every dog like one of my own. At home, mine like to stick to a routine of regular walks, outdoor play, and consistent feeding. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely, keep your dog’s schedule steady, handle any meds or special needs carefully, and give them the affection and exercise they need. I’m respectful of your home and always keep you updated.

About: I am currently in Traverse City, Michigan. I spend a lot of time between here and Phoenix. I can do last minute sits or drop ins. If you book ahead of time, I can usually work my schedule around where I am. I have lots of time to walk and love on your pets. Very reliable and able to care for your home as well. Last minute sittings or walks are welcome. I will love and treat your pets as if they are my own. I have mostly done pet and house sitting through Trusted Housesitters. I can get you my reviews from there if you would like further reviews about me. They are all 5 stars. I love taking care of all pets. I have watched big dogs, little dogs, rats and cats and hairless cats. My calendar can change by the minute. Once I commit to you, I will commit to my time with your pet when you book me. I am a flight attendant with lots of time on my hands. My schedule is flexible and I can do a last minute walk or plan ahead for a long sit. I will leave my schedule as booked and open it when I get back from my flight. I am great for last minute sits or if you know ahead of time, I can usually book far in advance and work my flight schedule around you. I mostly work out of the Phoenix area and Traverse City, Michigan. If coming to your home, I ask for a detailed list of your preferences. I will follow and respect you and your pets needs. I am physically fit and love would love to walk your pup or take them for a hike if they are able. I am a flight attendant so I have had an extensive background check. I get random checked for drugs and alcohol. I am very respectful of your rules and space and I am very kind and loving to animals.

About: I am just getting started as a sitter, but I have loved taking care of pets since I was a kid. I have a mini golden doodle that I love taking care of. From taking pets on walks to playing with them at home and making sure they are fed I take pride in making sure your pets feel loved and comfortable. I will be going to flight school so I will be able to check in on pets throughout the day Mondays Wednesdays, and Fridays as well as stay the night at the house with them, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I would be away from around 8ish until 4ish. I care for pets in my clients home just as if the pet and home were my own. I am able to adapt to environments and needs well, so your pets are comfortable. I love documenting how your pets are doing and sending many pictures and updates.

We booked Macy to dog sit for an afternoon into evening. She came 2weeks early to meet our 5 dogs. They immediately greeted her and clambered to get petted. She even sat on the floor to pet our old girl. She arrived for the booked day on time and all the dogs again climbed on her looking for attention. She sent us pictures through out the evening and everyone looked contented. Thank you Macy!

Maria was so sensitive and wonderful and aware of our animals needs! She took great care in making sure our English bulldog had everything he needed, all his medications and extra love and affection! She also took amazing care of our cat- she is truly the most perfectly well-rounded house and pet sitter, and had great communications with questions and updates all through her stay! If your pet is like your child, she is a perfect fit. We can’t wait to book Maria again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Ann

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Ann on Rover is $56.18 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 119 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Ann. 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 Lake Ann 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 Lake Ann 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 Lake Ann 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 Lake Ann. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
