“Sarah was amazing with my 2 beagles. This was the first time I left them while traveling out of the country and she took care of them just as I do. She was very accommodating with everything the dogs are used to as well as administering medication. She also kept us updated throughout our trip which for was very comforting for me to see how well they were doing with her.”

About: For over 15 years, I have provided comprehensive, high-quality care for both dogs and cats. My experience ranges from high-energy playtime to specialized senior care and positive reinforcement training. I pride myself on creating a safe, structured, and joyful environment for every pet. What I Offer- Medical & Senior Care: Confident in administering oral medications and skin topicals, as well as managing specialized routines for aging pets. Positive Training: Skilled in teaching basic manners, tricks, and reinforcing good behavior using force-free methods. Play & Enrichment: Expert at reading animal body language to deliver the perfect balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation. Feline Expertise: Experienced in managing cat behavior, specialized diets, and giving space to timid or anxious felines. Whether your pet needs basic puppy training, gentle elder care, or just a fun day of structured play, I adapt my approach to their unique personality. Because my work schedule varies week-to-week, I am highly adaptable and can often accommodate non-traditional times, last-minute requests, and mid-day visits that standard 9-to-5 sitters cannot.

As a seasoned pet professional specializing in medical administration and behavioral training, I look at safety through a clinical and preventative lens. I do not just watch your pet; I actively monitor their health, behavior, and physical surroundings to prevent accidents before they happen. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing an expert is at the helm.
“Elizabeth was great with my three very different personality dogs. They are little with big personalities! She managed them all so well, no accidents in the house, and gave them love as if they were her own. I’m happy to have found someone reliable and patient to be with our pups when we go out of town:)”
“Steffanie is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her to watch your pets! She is very friendly, professional, self sufficient and a natural with animals. Steffanie stayed in our home for a week and took care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat, she kept us updated with texts and photos to let us know that all was well and gave our dogs extra love during the daily Florida storms. We returned home to a spotless house and happy pets!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. My godmother used to own five dogs and seven cats back in Brazil. Every time that I would come over to her place I would love to take care of her pets. The best memories I have are from feeding, playing, and having sleepovers with these animals every night. After my godmother passed away, I adopted one of her dogs named Liza. I brought Liza here to the United States with my family and she lived an eighteen year long and happy life! Towards the end of her life, she had vestibular disease. I made sure we were on top of all vet visits, meds and rehab care. She was very important to me so I wanted make sure we gave her the best care. Since then, I have been there for my family and friends to watch their beloved pets. I have experience from cat sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking! I make sure to send my friends and family updates on their fur baby as I know going on vacation can make you miss your pets. So excited for future fur buddies to meet! Hi guys, I am new here!!

“Jonathan has a clear love for animals and he did a tremendous job with our dog and cat. Great updates, very timely and house was spotless. Would highly recommend, in fact, we are already hiring him for a second job in a few weeks!!!!”
“Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!”

“Diahann and her sister were wonderful! They made sure to keep me updated and sent pictures of my anxious little pup with separation anxiety. They made him feel as comfortable as possible, and he did really well with them. When I got home everything looked exactly as I left it, if not better. I will definitely be using them again!”
About: Hi! I’m a true animal lover with a big heart for both dogs and cats. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether your pup needs long walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet companionship and gentle care, I’m happy to match their unique personality and routine. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and pet sitting in your home. Whether your puppy needs patience, playtime, and consistency, or your senior dog needs a slower pace and extra TLC, I have experience providing attentive, compassionate care for both. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and keep your furry family members happy in their own familiar environment.
“Ariella is absolutely amazing with all of our pets. Regular updates are provided and all of our babies look so happy in pictures! It’s so nice being able to go away and knowing our babies are in the best of hands! We couldn’t be more thankful. 10/10 would recommend using Ariella for any pet care needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Butler
Brittney was so so wonderful! Our pups loved her and she made us feel so comfortable from the minute we met! She was very communicative and would send pictures every day! She also treated our home with the utmost care. I highly recommend her for any of your petsitting needs!
Hailey is the best! She came and house sat for us while watching our little Pomeranian for 4 nights while we took a little trip up to GA. She always communicated with us, sent us pictures, kept us updated, and went above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone to treat your fur baby like their own, Hailey is the one!
Yanran cared for my four cats and one dog and we were very pleased with her care. I got photos and updates daily, the pets were all happy when we returned, she let the dog sleep in bed with her as he was obviously missing his family, and the house was clean when we returned. We greatly appreciated her care and will be booking her again soon!
Alyson was fantastic with our dogs. She stayed at the house and watched them. She kept us informed on how they were doing and sent pictures and videos. Normally, my dogs don’t eat well when we aren’t home, but they did well for Alyson. She went above and beyond by dealing with a power outage in our garage. She also checked our mailbox and brought our trash out on the trash days. We would highly recommended using Alyson. We definitely plan to reach out next time we need care for our dogs.
Tathyana was amazing while watching our two golden girls (especially since one is missing a leg)! She was very responsive and kept me up to date on her schedule and the pups! We're so grateful for the time she spent watching our dogs; they LOVED Tathyana. She left the house spotless and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Butler
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Butler on Rover is $55.5 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 3,055 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Butler. 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 Butler 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 Butler 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 Butler 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.
